Camp Freedom teaches youth about the origins of freedom

By Verlene Johnson

hat started out as a family activity in 2020 organized by Debbie Taylor and Pamela Smith for their grandchildren to learn about the founding of America has now turned into a camp in Mountain Green called Camp Freedom.

“Since we both have a deep and abiding love of liberty, we wanted to instill that in the hearts of our grandkids,” commented Smith. She said word got around and others wanted to participate with them getting bigger and bigger every year with 175 kids joining in the five-day event this year that was held July 8-12. Each day brought a special

guest from American History to teach youth, ages five to 12, along with youth leaders ages 13-18, about important events that helped bring freedom to America.

On the first day, they were visited by Henry Knox, Lydia Darragh, William Bradford and George Washington; with each of them talking about the role they played in American history during the Revolutionary War.

During craft time the kids learned about John McCrae, who wrote the now famed poem, “In Flanders Field,” after witnessing the tragedy of war. The campers were also encouraged to look for members of the armed forces and thank them for the freedom their service provides.

Day two brought James Armistead Lafayette, Betsy Ross and John Hancock. They also learned about Fort McHenry, where the British launched an attack for 25 hours in an attempt to get to Baltimore. They learned that it was this battle where Francis Scott Key penned "The Star Spangled Banner." After learning about the inspiration behind our National Anthem, they got to shoot off some bottle rockets to represent the rocket red glare.

Day three brought a visit from Abigail Adams and Catherine Littlefield Greene. In addition, a visitor came to tell the group about Ellis Island and the process the

A SMALL REPLICA of the Mayflower. Campers learned from William Bradford, who came to America on the Mayflower. He was the first Governor of Plymouth that established free enterprise in America prior to the American Revolution.

Morgan City increases utility fees, implements short-term rentals business license

By Linda Petersen

Morgan City has increased customer service charges on some utilities. The city did a power rate study in 2022 and initiated a new base rate. It is now increasing by about 50 percent, City Manager Ty Bailey told the city council at their July 9 meeting. The residential customer service charge for electricity, both city and county and commercial non-demand increased to $7.50 from $5.

“We're working our way up to $10 instead of hitting $10 at the same time as the rate,” Bailey said. “[This] is an incremental change, but because we did both that and the power rate last year, this is a lot more tolerable, but it still heads in the right direction.”

Small commercial, both city and county, went to $15 from $10 and large commercial, both city and county, to $75 from $50. The city has also increased the cost of yard lights from $1 to $2 per light. “I know you've gotten a lot of pushback on our power rates, but the reality is we just didn't have any fund balance to

absorb the losses, and that tide's turning now,” Bailey told the city council. “Even Rocky Mountain Power is proposing a 30 percent increase to the Public Service Commission. In evaluating the last year we're good with the rate so we're only proposing to adopt that change in the base charge based on our rate study.”

The pump rate has increased to $7.50 from $5 and the net metering residential and small commercial customer service charge, both city and county, to $9 from $8.

The city has also increased its base water fees by 10 percent in line with the recommendations of the city’s water rate study. For a residential ¾ inch connection with 8,000 gallons that would be a new base fee of $38.19 (county $52.05; Mahogany Ridge $48.36).

That study had planned for a new city water tank in 2029, but that’s not going to happen, Bailey said. “There’s no possible way we're going to get there so we are building a little bit of a fund balance.”

The water fee increases are necessary to build up some reserve funds, something the city hadn’t been doing

for some time, Power Foreman Clark Crook told the city council. “The recommendations are that you have adequate reserves. They recommend at least six months because if you went into a multimonth power increase like we had in one month [last year] you'd be a little more sheltered.”

Morgan also is now requiring a business license for those who operate short-term rentals (for under 30 days) in the city. The new fee is $50. If needed, building inspection and fire inspection fees will be $50 each. These facilities will not qualify for a primary residence tax exemption.

“This ordinance does two things; one, it requires a business license … the other thing it does is for those that are trying to do short-term rentals it gives them a legitimate path forward so if they do have a complaint or a bad-stay experience they have a business license to say ‘I went to the city and I checked all the boxes and I'm running a legitimate operation here because I complied with all of the requirements,’” Bailey said.l

Attempted assassination on Donald Trump

In a shocking turn of events, former president Donald Trump narrowly avoided being killed by an assailant’s bullet which whizzed by his head at a rally in Pennsylvania over the weekend. Trump’s ear was grazed by the bullet but was otherwise unharmed. The attack left two critically injured, and killed one, Corey Comperatore, a local firefighter. The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed on the scene. The attack garnered a huge response from both home and abroad, condemning violence in the political world. The attempt also raised many questions of safety for Trump as he continues his campaign for the presidency, and why the building from which the shooter fired was not cleared preceding and during the event.

Classified documents case against Trump dismissed

In another landmark political victory for the former president, the classified documents case against Donald Trump was just thrown out by Judge Aileen Cannon. Judge Cannon dismissed the case saying that the prosecution’s appointment of special counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutional. The reasoning behind Judge Cannon’s decision was that an appointment from the Justice Department, part of the executive branch, excludes important input from Congress. Detractors have cited previous, and similar cases with the same conditions which were not dismissed.

Salvage voyage returns to Titanic

For the first time in 14 years, RMS Titanic Inc., the only company with salvage rights to the wreck of the famous ship, is returning to the site for a different kind of mission. The organization will be using sophisticated technology to digitally map the wreck in its current condition. This will also be the first significant voyage to the wreck since the deadly implosion of a submarine in June of last year. The imaging mission will be an important landmark in comparison to the 2010 imaging mission, to see the current state of deterioration of the wreck. Although deep in the Northern Atlantic, the Titanic is being slowly consumed by microbial organisms that eat iron and steel, forming the now iconic “rusticals” that encase the wreck.

Cave on the moon 250 miles from the landing site of Apollo 11, scientists have just proved the existence of a fascinating aspect of Earth’s moon. A large cave, estimated to be over 100 feet wide, and 100 feet long was discovered at the Sea of Tranquility. It is theorized that the cave is one of many, and a collapsed ancient lava tube from the days of the moon’s formation. The significance of this find comes into play when considering the eventual return to the moon, and establishment of semi-permanent colonies there. Scientists believe that astronauts could use the natural protection of these caves to keep them safe from cosmic rays, solar radiation, and micrometeorites without having to construct from scratch time-consuming and costly shelters.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, who visited twice during the camp taught the campers the Battle of Trenton and the crossing of the Delaware.

immigrants went through in order to be allowed into America.

After learning from these great historical examples, the campers enjoyed a fun water fight that cooled them off!

George Washington made another visit on day four bringing along his granddaughter Nelly. James Madison and Benjamin Franklin also made a visit to Camp Freedom

During their activity rotation, the campers were able to review the things they had learned throughout the week. If they answered a question correctly, they had the chance to throw a ball and dunk one of their youth leaders!

The final day was their Freedom Celebration. This was a celebration for the whole family of the campers. Participants performed a few songs they had learned throughout the week. Awards were presented to those who memorized important passages throughout the week such as “The Pledge of Allegiance,” The Articles of the US Constitution, The Bill of Rights and the Preamble to the Constitution.

After the program, there were activities for the whole family to enjoy including the dunk tank and other water activities to cool off on a hot summer day.

“I was amazed and in awe of all that goes into this camp and what my daughter gets out of it,” said one parent, Joseanne Ware. After attending last year, her five-year-old daughter, Adaline, was counting down the days until the camp started. “She surprised me a couple of times with the piece of history she is able to recount to me and when I ask her where she learned that she’ll often tell me it was at Camp Freedom.” She added, “I’m so grateful for Camp Freedom because she’s being taught in ways that I can’t teach her on my own.

“I loved getting to walk through the ice water with George Washington,” said Adaline. She added that the dunk tank on Friday was actually her favorite.

JAMES ARMISTEAD LAFAYETTE a slave during the Revolutionary War, taught the campers that during that time most enslaved people were not allowed to learn to read, despite this he learned to read and write. Because of this, he proved to be an asset to the colonists. He urged the campers to take their education seriously.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, the first Postmaster General was also one of the founding fathers. Despite not having a formal education, he became very knowable which earned him the title of Dr. among his peers. He taught the children about his many inventions and encouraged kids to read at least 30 minutes a day.

No One Fights Alone deemed a success in helping families in Morgan fighting cancer

By Bryson Hone

“N

o One Fights Alone” is a fundraiser that helps not only raise money for the people in the community but also helps show people who are afflicted with cancer that nobody is in this fight alone. Through this event, they can find support in Morgan County.

No One Fights Alone started on the 13th of July. “The event was extremely successful this year!” said Bobbi Eddy, the current manager of the cancer fundraiser. “We had more people there this year than ever before: anytime we can raise money to help those fighting cancer, it is a success. It has blessed the lives of others both financially and just letting them know they are seen and remembered.”

In November 2020, Brance John Brown created the event when he was diagnosed with stage four colorectal cancer. The community showed his family so much love and support. This affected Brown so much that he decided to create a special event called No One Fights Alone.

The community received the event well, and since then has created a tradition that has lasted throughout the years.

Three main events happen in the fundraiser, the Crossfit, the silent auction, and of course the 5k and 10k.

On the July 13 the Crossfit event started at 6 a.m. A large group of participants went through a ferocious workout, all while showing each other support and encouraging everybody around them to keep fighting.

This was a great way to reinvigorate the community to continue the fight against cancer. It showed the participants and others watching how united this community really is.

From 7:30-9:30 a.m. a silent auction was held at Riverside Park. Many people donated their time, money and even some items for the auction.

This helped raise money that goes directly towards people fighting cancer in Morgan. All of the money went to local families in need and is a huge blessing in their life.

A special thanks was given to those who donated items and those who purchased items making the silent auction a huge success.

The 5k and 10k started at 8 a.m. that same morning. “Brance was able to fight stage four colorectal cancer for over three years and finally found rest in the arms of his Savior and Redeem -

er Jesus Christ on the 10th of April of this year. I never heard Brance complain or say why me or let cancer win. He quietly went about doing good. Always willing to help those in need, never looking for recognition,” Eddy said before the race started. She continued, “His sweetheart and boys were his world and I’m sure they still are. He is the reason we are here today and the reason we will be here together in years to come doing everything we can to let all those fighting and their loved ones know

From Lisa’s Kitchen: BERRY SCONES

Having been born and raised in Oregon – before I found the wonderful state of Utah – I grew up with the POV that blackberries were an obnoxious, invasive and thorny weed that offered small delicious fruit but at a painful price. Too many times to remember, I had fallen into the arching thorny brambles trying to reach the protected berry. I had conditioned myself to give a wide berth to this briers. When I moved to Utah – I discovered there were actually gardeners who had PURPOSELY planted and were caring for this vegetation! I am NOW one of those gardeners! In our family, whoever grows the most fruit, wins. So I grow a few of these brambles: raspberries, blackberries & tayberries. This scone recipe is wonderful for any of these berries (even blueberries) but since my blackberries are so plentiful right now – blackberries made it into the magical mixing bowl.

Tips for success: Use the butter right out of the refrigerator. Using butter out of the freezer is very hard to grate (I usually impale my fingers from pressing so hard). Also, chilling the scones in the refrigerator right before baking gives the butter time to set (so the scones do not splay out while baking).

I just had to make back to back batches – these delicate buttery scones were eaten so fast.

Hicks Haven By Lisa Hicks

INGREDIENTS:

4 C Flour

½ C Sugar

4 t. Baking Powder

½ t. Salt

1 C Butter – grated, very cold

1 C Milk ( whatever you have on hand)

½ t. Vanilla Extract

1½ C Berries - fresh or frozen (not too many)

Lemon Glaze

1 C Powdered Sugar

1½ T. Lemon Juice

¼ t. Vanilla Extract

1 t. Poppy Seeds (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 375° and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper – set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in thoroughly the grated butter.

In a liquid cup measurement,

they are not alone.”

With this beautiful message, the races started. People of all ages showed true strength as they ran the difficult trek. Parents, kids and grandparents alike gave it their all and once again proved just how resilient Morgan County really is.

This event along with more pictures can be found on their Facebook page titled “No One Fights Alone 5k.” l

pour the milk and add the vanilla extract, stirring to combine. Carefully stir in milk/vanilla mixture into the flour mixture. You do not want to over mix, but it is tricky to incorporate the liquid to make a dough. Once dough is beginning to cling together but is still a bit shaggy, transfer to a lightly-floured surface.

Sprinkle the berries over the dough, and lightly work the dough until the berries are combined. Divide the dough into two even pieces, and mould each round into an 8” disc. Cut each into eight wedges and transfer wedges onto the prepared cookie sheet. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Bake at 375° for 18-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. While the scones cool, prepare the glaze by whisking listed ingredients together.

When scones are cooled, drizzle glaze lightly over the top of each scone. Allow to sit and harden before serving. (Good luck with waiting – my family does not)

WHAT TO WATCH

‘Twisters’ and ‘Young Woman and the Sea’ both deeply satisfying for genre fans

By Jenniffer Wardell

The Movie Guru

Twisters (in theaters)

Don’t focus on whether “Twisters” is a sequel or a remake. The important this is if you liked the original, you’ll like this one.

The new movie manages to beautifully capture the vibe of the original without copying anything but the basic concept. There’s still plenty of dramatic, dangerous moments, a nice sprinkling of movie science, and appealing enough characters to keep the quieter moments interesting. There’s also more of a focus on the impact of twisters, a nice bit of modernization. Add in the incredible chemistry between Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, and it all adds up to an excellent night at the movies.

Clever viewers will feel the trauma coming in the movie’s opening scenes, but the majority of the movie follows Kate Carter (Edgar-Jones)

years after the twister-related trauma. When an old friend asks her to come back into the storm-chasing game, she has to face both her past and some of the biggest tornadoes Oklahoma has ever seen. Can she figure out a way to help everyone caught in the twisters’ path?

Edgar-Jones is good as the traumatized scientist, spunky beneath the extremely understandable PTSD. Powell continues to be the most charismatic man in Hollywood at this point, taking what could have been a deeply cliched character and making him extremely likable. They’re a delight together onscreen, charming enough in parts to make the movie seem like an unusually restrained romantic comedy. Anthony Ramos has a smaller role, but he brings some real depth.

If only all sequel/remakes were this satisfying.

Grade: Three and a half stars

Young Woman and the Sea (Disney+)

If you’re one of those people who find sports underdog stories deeply satisfying, then you definitely want to check out “Young Woman and the Sea.”

Based on the true story of a young woman determined to overcome all odds and achieve a successful swimming career all the way back in 1926, “Young Woman and the Sea” is a straightforward, satisfying look at what it takes to achieve your dreams. Anchored by an excellent performance from Daisy Ridley, the movie is just as rousing in its own way as classics such as “Rudy” and “Hoosiers.” Though the emotional beats are all familiar ones, they deliver all the rousing spirit you could want.

Daisy Ridley plays Trudy Ederle, a young working-class girl growing up in Manhattan who dreamed of becoming a professional swimmer.

Unfortunately, no one took female swimmers seriously at the time, and the struggle for sponsorships and legitimacy is nearly impossible. Rather than give up, however, she decided to go to France and train to be the first female swimmer ever to cross the English Channel.

The structure of the movie is oldschool, evoking the era of movies like “The Rookie,” “Miracle,” and “Remember the Titans.” That makes it incredibly family-friendly, and though that also means there are no surprises genre fans won’t miss them in the slightest. Ridley does fantastic work as Ederle, so determined to swim that it’s easy to buy into her dream. We might not understand how big a deal it is to swim the English Channel, but Ridley makes us feel how big a deal it will be to Ederle. After that, how can we help but cheer her on?

Grade: Three stars

By Linda Petersen

As Morgan City residents prepare to celebrate Pioneer Day, July 24, possibly with fireworks or at barbecues or campouts they should be aware there are fire restrictions in certain areas of the city. The restrictions executive order took effect June 13 and will remain in effect until further notice.

The affected areas are north of 600 East and 700 East to the city boundary; east and south of Imperial Drive, including the South Morgan Cemetery, to the city boundary and 200 feet on either side of the Weber River bottoms.

Morgan Junior Livestock Showmanship and sale information

The Morgan County Fair is almost here, which means the livestock shows are right around the corner. Each livestock show at the fair always starts with showmanship. This year’s Morgan County Jr. Livestock Ambassadors have some tips and tricks to help all the 4-H and FFA livestock kids get ready for this year’s showmanship classes.

Hog Showmanship tips, by: Brynn Peterson and Jadie Shupe

We are this year's hog ambassadors. We love showmanship and want to share some of our tips and tricks with you. We both have shown together for the past eight years, and we have been to shows all over the state.

To start off we are going to talk about things to not do in the ring. Having your hand on your hip/buttock is not recommended. It looks awkward and unnatural. Instead, put your elbow on your hip and have your forearm resting in front of your stomach, making it so your hand is there to brush off your pig if needed. You can even carry a brush in that hand if you need to brush off your pig.

Hair is in, meaning don’t clip your pig. The only part of your pig you need to clip is their head, then you’ll blend the hair into their neck. You also want to be taking care of your pig’s skin now. You don’t want to wait until the fair to start focusing on skin care. This is something that will make you stand out to the judge. If there is a tie in the show the judge may look at your pig’s skin to determine who wins. We like to condition our pigs every day, with conditioners that you can purchase at the dollar store. We also put lotion on our white pigs and oil on our dark pigs to express their color more.

First impressions are everything, the first three steps into the ring are the most important. Act like you are the best and are going to win. You want to be intense and have good eye contact with the judge. Always stay calm no matter what your pig is doing. When you are a calm showman, it will impress the judge. While you're in the ring, make sure you are making long passes, and wide turns, using the whole ring to show off your pig. Another thing to be thinking about is making sure you are showing all the angles of your pig to the judge the front, back, and sides. And most important of all, remember to have fun!

While you are showing, the judge may ask you questions. Some questions may be about your pig, while others may be about the pig industry itself. You need to make sure that you do your research so that you are ready to answer any questions the judge may ask you. Some examples of questions the judge may ask are: what's your pig's ear notch, how much does your pig weigh, what is your daily routine, what are some issues in the pig industries, etc. Having a good understanding of the pig industry can benefit you in the show!

Some ring tips that we suggest keeping in mind are to make sure you have a whip that you and your pig are comfortable with. To carry either a brush or a rag in the show ring with you. Sometimes judges will sprinkle shavings on your pig, and it is good to have a brush to get it off. Things not to bring in the ring are cell phones, hats, sunglasses, and never chew gum. All these things look unprofessional in the show ring.

Having a well-trained pig is essential for showmanship. Some judges might leave all the gates open. They also might even have you leave the ring and come back. Some judges might have you switch pigs with another showman. You never know what a judge might ask you to do, they can make you do some pretty crazy stuff.

Sheep Showmanship tips, by:

Kayla Gale & Sydney Jensen

Today we are going to talk about lamb showmanship. Showmanship is a large part of the livestock business as you are showing the lamb. Making the lamb look its best is the most important part of showmanship. When you're showing a lamb there are a few key points to elevate your lamb’s best features. The first way to make this happen is hand walking, the second is setting the legs properly, and third making sure they brace. If we can get our lambs to do this while in the ring, we can create champions. First, allow the lamb to look its best while walking. This is by far the most important part of the showmanship process. A good way to train them is by hand walking for 15 minutes every day. When we walk our lambs, we want them to walk with their heads held up high and at a pace that will suit the lamb, and

yourself. We want them to be constantly putting one foot in front of the other. Sometimes when our lamb doesn’t want to work for us, a good way to get them moving again is by gently tapping their inner side a couple of times. This is better than tapping them on their dock. When we tap them on their dock, they tend to hunch their backs and pull their back legs under them. This makes the lamb look bad and makes the judge less interested in you or your lamb. When we have a lamb that will hand walk correctly, it makes the judge see you in a favorable way and gives you a better chance for success in the show ring.

The second key point of showmanship is keeping your lamb set correctly. Setting the legs in the right spot is what the judge sees the most, so doing this correctly is important. Oftentimes in the show ring, our lambs’ legs can be off by even the smallest amount and it can cause us to lose the win. When you set the legs, you want to make sure you aren’t stretching them too far, this is called supermanning them. We also don’t want to set them too close to each other, when we do this, they become hunched in their back. When setting the legs we want to make sure the back legs are slightly extended, and the front legs are straight off their front shoulders. To make sure the legs are set, look over the lamb. If you can see both hocks, the back legs are set correctly. You want to set the front legs directly underneath the lamb. When you set legs, take a step to the side while still holding their head, and make sure they don’t look stretched or not stretched enough. Hand-setting legs is considered better than pushing them with your feet or bracing until they set.

The last key point of showmanship is bracing. They don’t need to be bracing the entire time, as long as they look like they are bracing. A good way to help them learn how to brace is by backing them down a hill or bracing them into a ditch. This way they will learn to drive uphill. We also want to make sure when they brace their front end does not sink. This does not make the lamb look good, and this makes it harder to brace. Make sure as you are bracing your lamb, they are standing tall and holding their head up properly.

Showmanship is about how you and your lamb look together. When your lamb works well for you, it makes you look better. We want to make sure you and your lamb look your best. We want your lamb to have a fresh, clean hide and clean leg wool. Also, make sure we look professional and confident.

In conclusion, hand walking is the most important thing in the show ring. We want their heads held high and have them walking at a pace where the lamb is constantly moving and looking its best. Next, when setting the legs we want them in the right place and not off from one another. We don’t want them supermanning but we also don’t want them hunched. And third, making sure they brace. Allowing your lamb to stand tall and drive forward. If you have any questions about this, please contact us.

Show time

We have two weeks until the fair, so be sure to practice with your animals every day! The weather has been hot so be sure that you and your livestock stay well hydrated. We want to wish everyone the best of luck. If you see us during the fair and have any questions, please be sure to ask. We are happy to help in any way we can. See you at the fair!

What is the Live Weigh vs. Hanging Weight and What Kind of Yield Can I Expect?

at a recent event.

There is always some confusion about how much an animal weighs when it is purchased at the sale how much meat will actually be put into the freezer. We hope that the following will help you determine what all means. Live weight is the weight of the animal before slaughter. The hanging weight or carcass weight weight of the slaughtered animal as it hangs from the rail. At this point, the hide and organs have been removed. The animal is then cut into packaged meat cuts. Freezer weight is how much meat goes into the freezer after packaged.

Buyer’s corner processing and cuts of meat

Determining how to have your animal processed can be confusing. At the Morgan County Jr. Livestock Sale, try to make this process as easy as possible. After the sale, representatives from some of our different processing companies will be there to help you through this process. Before you arrive, it is always nice to have a better understanding of what you can expect to get from your purchased animal. The following is a general list for steer, hog, and lamb.

The sale will begin at 10:00 a.m. The Grand and Reserve Champions from each species will sell first beginning with the steers, then hogs, then lambs. After the champions have sold, the animals will sell in order of their placing in the show ring. The sale program will designate blue, then red ribbon animals. White ribbon animals are not eligible for the sale. We sell a predetermined number of steers followed by hogs and then lambs in a rotation. For example: 2 steers, 10 hogs, 6 lambs.

Note: All animals are purchased whole. You will need to find someone to share with if you don’t want the animal. We may be able to help you if you are unable to find anyone.

Steer: A quarter of beef will not take up more than 3 shelves in a side-by-side refrigerator or two ordinary ice chests. (for a whole beef x 4)

If you would like to bid on an animal, please raise your buyer number into the air. Our ringmen will acknowledge your bid with a LOUD shout! The auctioneer will then continue to ask for a higher price. If you are outbid, the ringmen will look to you to bid again. If you are successful in buying the animal, a 4-H/ FFA member will bring you a buyer’s slip. On this slip, you will indicate if you would like to keep the animal and have it processed or if you would like to pay the amount between what you bid and what the floor price is for the animal. This information is on the sales program. If you choose to keep the animal, you will need to indicate on the buyer’s slip where you would like to have the animal processed. You will be responsible for the cost of the cut and wrap. As a small gesture of thanks, you will also be given 2 tickets to the buyer’s lunch for each animal you purchase.

What is the Live Weigh vs. Hanging Weight and what kind of yield can I expect?

There is always some confusion about how much an animal weighs when it is purchased at the sale and how much meat will actually be put into the freezer. We hope that the following will help you determine what it all means. Live weight is the weight of the animal before slaughter. The hanging weight or carcass weight is the weight of the slaughtered animal as it hangs from the rail. At this point, the hide and organs have been removed. The animal is then cut into packaged meat cuts. Freezer weight is how much meat goes into the freezer after it

Four Morgan cheerleaders named All-Americans at UCA Cheer Camp

By Liisa London Mecham

School may be out for the summer, but the Morgan High cheerleaders are working hard during their summer break to prepare for a year of cheering on the Trojan teams and defending their 3A state competitive cheerleading title. Recently, the JV cheer squad attended the Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) camp along with over a dozen other schools. At the camp, four of Morgan’s cheerleaders were honored with the All-American distinction.

Sophomores TayLee Barker, Oaklee Beckstrom, and Alexis Greenwood along with freshman Kylie Heslop were chosen as individual All-American winners by the panel of judges at the event. The team learned a stunt routine and a dance which they performed on Day 3 of the camp for family and friends who attended. In addition to the presentation of dances and routines, there was a side competition for individual All-Americans. Those who were nominated to try out from each team, including nine total athletes from Morgan, were scored on the camp material by the UCA staff and participated in individual jumps and other skills to qualify. Athletes who earn the All-American award are eligible to participate in Special Events held by the UCA each year. Special Events include performances at national and international parades and festivals.

At the end of the team performances and solo competition, the four

Morgan All-Americans were named along with All-American from the other teams. Sophomore Alexis “Lil’ G” Greenwood said “I was surprised I won. I thought I did bad on the dance portion, but I received the advice, ‘If you mess up, just keep smiling’ so I just kept dancing.”

“I wasn’t expecting to win and

Though the end of the season did not turn out to be a winning one in one sense, the Trojans got a lot out of playing summer baseball through June and July and will continue doing so as the regular season kicks its cleats in the dirt for one time more or two.

“The teams are doing great, we have had situational learning opportunities that will pay dividends in the future,” said Coach Stuart.

The Trojans varsity squad finished the regular season of the Utah Summer Baseball League with a record of three wins, eight losses and one tie.

They defeated Copper Hills, Roy and Grantsville and took Bonneville to the brink before tying that matchup 6-6.

All of those games, according to Coach Stuart, will help the Trojans varsity squad as they’ll now turn to the postseason—a varsity tournament that begins Tuesday July 16.

“It is a double elimination tournament format this summer season,” said Coach Stuart. The Trojans will play Clearfield, a school that wasn’t on the team’s schedule in the summer league or

the 32 games that Morgan’s varsity team played this past spring.

The Trojans JV team also wrapped up their season this past week, finishing its 12-game slate with three wins, eight losses and one tie—the same as the varsity did.

The next guys in line to take varsity spots in a year or two put together some big wins. The Trojans JV team knocked off Northridge and West Jordan and also defeated Grantsville. They ended up tying Bountiful 7-7 at the midpoint.

The young men that comprise the 8th-grade and freshmen Trojans team have been unable to capture a victory thus far this season, but will still have two more games left to play. At the moment, they have a record of no wins and nine losses on the season.

For Coach Stuart, the mission has been accomplished and the young men of Morgan have done what they set out to do when they all committed to an extra month or two of baseball.

“There have been plenty of opportunities for our athletes to get more reps in the field and at the plate,” said Coach Stuart. “It is great to see even the small successes in each individual.” l

when they announced ‘Alexis G from Morgan’ I was looking around, not realizing it was me,” Greenwood continued.

Greenwood, who was a member of the 2024 State Championship team, is excited to enter her second year of cheerleading. Her favorite part is stunting, although she claims to be “better

at tumbling, but I like dancing more.”

“I love cheer. I love seeing my friends in all the sports.”

“It can be mentally exhausting always keeping up a great attitude and smiling, but it’s so much fun. I love standing on the track at a football game looking up at the crowd and cheering. It’s always worth it then!”

Greenwood has a unique challenge as a cheerleader. She has epilepsy and repeated seizures kept her out of cheering from the end of November through June. “My last seizure was in March, and every day is a victory that I don’t have a seizure!”

“I’m so excited to be able to cheer and tumble, and I look forward to returning to stunting. My doctor and coaches said I can stunt if I don’t have any more seizures, so right now I’m trying to regain my strength.”

Morgan’s entire cheer squad, JV and Varsity, will head to St. George for a camp before the summer is over, and they will continue to work with their coaches, Sue Ann Kelsey, Ben Nagai, Katie Jensen and Laci Mikesell, to prepare for the 2024-2025 school year and competition season. Greenwood praised her coaches, “I love all our coaches. They are so talented and help us quickly figure out just what we need to fix, and when we do it, it almost always immediately fixes the routine.”

Congratulations to Morgan’s All-Americans, and cheers to the cheerleaders for working so hard to support the teams while competing at a championship level themselves. l

MHS track team hosts 9th annual youth track camp

By Liisa London Mecham

F or the ninth year in a row, the Morgan High track team hosted their Annual Youth Track Camp. For a week each summer, the MHS coaches and track athletes host a camp for aspiring athletes to learn about the different aspects of track and field and then wrap up the camp with a track meet for the kids to display their skills.

Coaches Brennen Fuller, Bryan Weir and Michele Wilkinson are veterans of the program. Fuller just finished his 11th year with Weir wrapping up his ninth and Wilkinson her eighth. Wilkinson said, “It was great to have over 120 kids this year at camp.”

During the week the youth are taught by the coaches and MHS athletes. Attendees get experience in distance running, sprints, hurdles and field events. At the track meet, athletes can choose to take part in the 50m, 100m, 400m, 800m, 1600m, 4x100m relay, hurdles, long jump, high jump and shot put.

Participants were divided into four groups by age and gender (4-6 years, 7-8 years, 9-11 years, 12-14 years) for the Friday meet, and medals were awarded for each age group.

Track and field takes place in the spring, but any students entering high school 9th through 12th grade who are interested in running can contact Coach Fuller (bfuller@morgansd.org) or Coach Weir (bweir@morgansd.org) to join the boys and girls cross country teams for the fall.

“Anyone who is interested in running and being a part of our family is welcome to join us! We would love to have them,” Coach Fuller invited. “Our XC team camp will begin Monday, July 29. We are running and training hard for cross country right now! We are one month out from our first meet!” l

How a purchase is made/boosts

• When you wish to place a bid on

East Canyon Reservoir

Fishing forecast (July-August). When water temperatures warm up, trout begin to head deeper in the reservoir while warm water fish, such as smallmouth bass and wiper, head closer to shore.

Rainbow trout: for shore anglers, try fishing trout dough bait or a worm off the bottom in deeper water. Boat anglers can do well trolling crankbaits, or a pop gear and a worm or a squid and dodger combination, at depths of 15 to 40 feet.

Smallmouth bass: smallmouth forage mostly on crayfish. Try casting spinner baits, tube jigs, twister tail grubs, buzzbaits, stickbaits and topwater lures parallel to shore.

Smallmouth can also be caught by

the animal in the ring, raise your hand until the ring man acknowledges your bid. Bids are based on dollars per head. The buyer is the highest bidder.

• All buyers need to register at the sales table where they will receive a bid number. Upon being recognized as the buyer, you will be asked for your buyer number or your name, business, or group that you represent. (Buyers’ numbers are encouraged to assure proper recognition by the auctioneer.)

• A representative of the Morgan County Jr. Livestock group will bring a sales receipt to you. You will verify the sale price and indicate how you are purchasing your animal. If you are keeping the animal, indicate where you would like to send it to be processed.

• Boost option: This is a great option if you don’t want to purchase an animal, but still want to support a livestock exhibitor. A boost is a monetary donation that can be given to any exhibitor in any amount. You can contribute to the exhibitor by saying, “Great job on your project.” If you would like to boost, go to this link: https://morganjrlivestock. wixsite.com/website or locate the boost

fishing a jig, tipped with worm, a couple feet under a bobber in rocky areas or areas with submerged brush.

Wiper: The most effective way to catch wiper at East Canyon is to fish a worm on the bottom in either the East Arm or between Taylor Hollow and the inlet. Casting diving crankbaits is another effective way to catch these fish.

Kokanee Salmon: This species can be found in deeper water and is most accessible to those fishing from a boat. Try fishing a squid and dodger combination tipped with corn or a scented artificial maggot or worm. Fish can usually be found in open water at depths between 12 and 40 feet.

Echo Reservoir

Fishing forecast (July-August). When water temperatures warm up, trout begin to head deeper in the reservoir while warm water fish, such as smallmouth bass and yellow perch, head closer to shore.

Smallmouth bass: smallmouth forage mostly on crayfish. Try casting spinner baits, tube jibs, twister tail grubs,

STORAGE AT ECHO RESERVOIR GREATLY IMPROVED OVER ‘34

D.D. Harris, manager of the Weber River Water User’s Association, reports that Echo Dam impounded 730 acre-feet of water during Tuesday, recording the biggest 24-hour gain this year. This brought the total storage in Echo Reservoir to 36,390 acre-feet, slightly ahead of this date a year ago. The inflow, increased by Tuesday’s rain, was continuing Wednesday at about the same rate, and Mr. Harris estimated the reservoir’s total will pass last year’s maximum of 37,900 acre-feet in two more days. According to Mr. Harris, the water

situation is definitely better than last season at this time, 1800 acre-feet of storage water had been used, but it is not expected that it will be necessary to draw on the storage this year before May 15 or 20 at the earliest. The East Canyon Reservoir of the Davis and Weber Counties Canal Company has been rapidly filling up and last Saturday held 10,208 acre-feet it was reported.

TELEVISION GUIDE

Sports Stars of the World

Hollywood Q&A

By Adam Thomlison TV Media

Q: Is Michael Biehn still acting? I can’t picture him outside the ‘80s context.

A: Michael Biehn, despite starring in two iconic films of the era — “The Terminator” (1984) and “Aliens” (1986) — balks at being described as an “’80s star.”

“I was not an ‘80s star,” he said in a 2019 interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “Bruce Willis was an ‘80s star. Tom Cruise was an ‘80s star.

Schwarzenegger and Stallone. Mel Gibson. Those guys were making $20 million [a picture]. I never even got $1 million. I kind of liked it that way.”

It’s true that he didn’t parlay that mid’80s success into superstardom, but he’s maintained a steady career that most would envy. And he does it at his pace.

Most recently, he had small, significant guest spots in such major shows as “The Walking Dead” in 2022 and “The Mandalorian” in 2020. And he’s kept up a steady stream of starring roles in B-grade action movies, some of which he also produces.

To hear Biehn tell it, a higher-profile career at this stage of his life would get in the way of his real job as a family man.

“I don’t see how you can live a normal life where you see your kids all the time,

you’re taking them to school and baseball practice and you’re coaching their teams — you’re in their lives,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.

Q: Are they not making any more “Ted Lasso”? What’s Hannah Waddingham doing now?

A: This would be a good time for an inspirational Ted Lasso speech to get you through this bad news: “Ted Lasso” is finished.

But, perhaps your spirits will be buoyed by the fact that Hannah Waddingham, who played team owner Rebecca Welton, has never been busier.

Though she was an established actor prior to joining “Ted Lasso,” with roles in HBO’s “Game of Thrones” and 2012’s “Les Misérables” on the big screen,

among others, Waddingham’s career was definitely leveled up thanks to Apple TV+’s soccer-themed dramedy. “Ted Lasso” ended last year, and just since then, Waddingham has landed multiple high-profile roles. Earlier this year, she appeared in “Fall Guy” and did a voice in “The Garfield Movie,” both of which earned well above $100 million at the box office. She also had a leading voice role in the animated comedy “Krapopolis” on Fox. Plus, she even got to star in her own Christmas variety special, also on Apple TV+, called “Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas.”

Celebrity Profile

By Jay Bobbin TV Media

Comedy may have been Rashida Jones’ main calling card initially, but “versatility” is now the more appropriate word for her career.

Having made her mark on such series as NBC’s “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation” and TBS’s “Angie Tribeca,” the youngest daughter of entertainment impresario Quincy Jones and the late actress Peggy Lipton (“The Mod Squad”) has been shaking up the types of projects she does. A solid example is her current Apple TV+ show “Sunny,” a merger of sci-fi and mystery that casts Jones (also an executive producer of the show) as Suzie, an American-born resident of Japan who has supposedly lost her husband (Hidetoshi Nishijima, “Drive My Car,” 2021) and son in a plane crash. Her husband’s company gifts her with a robot — the eponymous Sunny, played by Joanna Sotamura (“Barry”) — to help her with domestic chores, but they become associated even more closely as they set out to learn exactly what happened to Suzie’s family. Dropping a new episode each Wednesday, the filmed-on-location “Sunny” is based on the novel “The Dark Manual” by Colin O’Sullivan.

Though her humorous bent also is evident in her work as a commercial spokesperson, Jones has shown her dramatic chops in such movies as 2020’s “On the Rocks” (which also debuted in Apple TV+), 2018’s “Zoe” and 2010’s “The Social Network,” which features her prominently opposite Jesse Eisenberg, as Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, in the closing scene. That being said, lighter fare remains a sizable part of her resume, extending to her voice work in animated films including “Klaus” and “Spies in Disguise” (both released in 2019).

Jones has also contributed to projects as a writer, as shown by the 2012 movie “Celeste and Jesse Forever” (in which she also starred), a 2016 episode of the Netflix anthology series “Black Mirror” and the pilot for the 2023 Hulu series “The Other
