Sprinkler systems required for new larger homes in Morgan County

By Linda Petersen

Morgan County has enacted a new ordinance which requires new homes greater than 3,600 square feet to have automatic fire sprinklers in all livable space and evacuation routes. The new provision applies only to homes in what is known as the urban-wildland interface area, which is basically all of the unincorporated county.

“Morgan County has seen a rapid increase in new construction throughout the County, increasing the demands upon the County’s existing Morgan County Bureau of Fire Prevention Bureau (“MCBFP”) as well as decreasing the ability of its departments to rapidly and effectively respond to fires; and the Morgan County Commission has determined that changes to the Fire Code are necessary to better provide for the fire protection needs of the MCBFP in an effort to better protect the health, safety, and welfare of its residents,” the ordinance says.

“Automatic fire sprinkler systems have been proven to significantly reduce the likelihood of injury and death to occupants and firefighters as well as limit the likelihood fire damage to the structures and the spreading of fires to other structures and property,” it says.

At the Dec. 19 Morgan County Commission meeting where he presented the proposed change to them, Fire Chief Boyd Carrigan told the commissioners about a recent Mountain Green home fire which took 250,000 gallons of water and 67 manpower hours to extinguish.

“If you take that same home if it would have had sprinklers, it would have flowed 13 gallons a minute with … two 26-gallon heads so no more than 300 to 600 gallons of water would have either

put the fire out or slowed it down long enough that we could have got there and easily put it out,” he said.

“We need to remember also that there's two threats to when fire erupts: the threat to the community when the fire moves from the vegetation to the neighboring homes. The second threat is structure fires.They threaten the community when there’s insufficient water supplies and fire moves from the structure to the vegetation and into the neighborhoods,” he said.

Having adequate fire flow is a huge problem in much of Morgan County, he added.

The 3,600-square-foot sprinkler threshold is a Utah Fire Code standard, Fire Warden Dave Vickers told the commissioners.

“When we’re talking about fire load, homes under 3,600, when they burn they’re not going to put out as much heat, fire, all that other mitigating things as a larger home,” he said.

Enacting this provision allows smaller subdivisions such as four-lot subdivisions to be able to provide fire suppression that is economically feasible, he said. Sprinklers currently average $1.50 to $3 a square foot, he added.

Smaller homes are exempted from this requirement unless the “Authority Having Jurisdiction determines there is a substantial public healthy or safety interest to require installation,” according to the ordinance.

Existing homes under 3,600 square feet that add an extension would be able to address fire suppression in other ways such as installing fire walls and a fire-rated door on the addition, Carrigan told the commissioners at their Feb. 20 meeting where the ordinance change was adopted. Under the new ordinance, unfinished basements are considered livable space.l

Middle schools in Morgan are turning out Future Business Leaders of America

By Verlene Johnson

Nearly 60 middle school students from Morgan competed against 20 other middle schools and junior high schools from across the state in the FBLA State Competition, Feb. 27.

Seventh and eighth graders from Morgan Middle School and Mountain Green Middle School traveled to Ogden to compete against students from seventh, eighth and ninth grade with students from both schools placing in the top five.

MMS FBLA, led by Krachel Fullmer, competed for the second year. Alexis Clark placed first in FBLA Mission and Pledge. Abigail Hatch and Berkley Peterson placed second in Multime-

dia and Website Development. Aveley London and Ailee Rose placed fourth in Annual Chapter Report. Maeli London placed fourth in Career Exploration. Jerrett Weeter placed fifth in Career Exploration and Kendal Williams and Devyn Young placed fifth in Exploring Business Issues.

“Lexi Clark practiced her presentation hundreds of times,” said Krachel. “I am so proud of all 26 students who stepped out of their comfort zone and did something brave.”

Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley was expected to suspend her campaign for the White House on Wednesday, according to NPR. The campaign announced planned remarks from Haley in Charleston at 10 a.m. ET, which is when she was expected to withdraw from the race.

Credit card late fees to be capped at $8

The Biden administration announced that federal regulators are finalizing rules which would cap most credit card late fees at $8 in an attempt to eliminate “junk fees” for consumers. The caps will affect large credit card companies with at least 1 million accounts on their records. According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, those companies are responsible for up to 95% of the total credit card debt held by Americans. The cap will go into effect soon, and should reduce the annual cost to consumers by an average of $220 a year.

Idaho Falls woman arrested for fentanyl after giving birth

According to Eastidahonews. com, an Idaho Falls woman was arrested after her newborn was tested for opiates and found to have fentanyl in its system. The woman, had been living in a camping trailer outside of town and using the illegal drug. She apparently had taken the drug on her way into delivery. Such an offense is punishable by jail time, and she was sentenced to three to seven years for the offense, given as a suspended sentence requiring 100 hours of community service a week, mandatory family treatment counseling, and restitution.

Illegal intestines seized by authorities

The Associated Press reported, in an unusual filing, that six people had been arrested in New York on charges of importing illegal goose and duck intestines from China. As if that weren’t odd enough, the contraband organ meat was sometimes hidden under packaged rattlesnakes, or mislabeled as pet grooming items on customs forms. Authorities report that 1,966 cartons of the intestines were shipped from China to the Port of Long Beach, where they passed through customs. They were discovered to be illegal intestines when they landed at JFK Airport in New York by an air carrier cargo service. Other than…what? the main question to come out of the incident is… wait a minute, you can mail rattlesnakes to people?

Favorable bid frees up funds for trails in Morgan City

By Linda Petersen

In a rare piece of good news in these inflationary times, the winning bid for Morgan City’s annual street maintenance project came in $200,000 under city engineer estimates, City Manager Ty Bailey told Mayor Steve Gale and members of the city council at their Feb. 27 meeting.

The low bid in the amount of $760,797.55 was submitted by Post Asphalt Paving and Construction out of Ogden, which the city’s engineering consultant recommended due to their low bid, experience in doing similar work and good references.

There was $285,798.10 between Post and the highest bidder Geneva Rock Product’s bid of $1,046,595.65.

The other bidders were Staker & Parson Companies, Granite Construction Company, Advanced Paving & Construction, BH. Inc., and Stapp Construction.

“We bid out our maintenance project and got a favorable bid,” Bailey said. “We’re pretty happy about that. “We’ve done work with Post before and are happy with the work they provide. We were also happy with the number of bidders we got.

Councilmember Dave Alexander commented on the closeness of the bids.

“During COVID, bidders were all over the map,” he said. “I remember being concerned about that. The number of bidders that we got and the fact that they’re tightly grouped you feel better about it.”

The project involves significant work on Deer Valley Drive including

SENIOR HIGHLIGHT

Kelly and Connie Preece

By Olivia Rees

Kelly and Connie both grew up in Morgan County.

Kelly was raised on Stoddard Lane with his parents, Edward Lloyd and Alice Adams along with his brother Kerry and sisters Charlene and Joanne. Connie grew up in Morgan City with her parents Grant Francis Beverly Jones and her siblings Sheri, Michelle, Larry, and Brad.

Morgan High graduates, Kelly and Connie were heavily involved in extracurriculars. Kelly played football, was on the golf team, and in FFA along with being student body Vice President. Connie was a cheerleader junior and senior year also participating in the symphonic band, choir and the yearly theatrical plays.

It was a different time period as evidenced in the day-to-day activities. At the time, high school was seventh through 12th grade. High school games of basketball and football were played on Friday nights and Tuesdays were mutual night at the church for the youth. The fall would bring football season and the revered deer hunt, which was a big deal across the state. It was a normal thing for guns to be in cars and trucks at school and work. As soon as the bell rang signaling the end of a school day, everyone that could would head to the mountains. “Then and now Morgan has always been a great community to support activities at the school. If you wanted a seat at ball games, plays, or concerts, you would always get there early to find a seat,” the Preeces said. During the summers there was the Morgala Days Rodeo, and the county fair, which would last for three nights. It was a big deal back then and almost everyone would attend all three nights. The best, according to Kelly, was to get a rodeo hamburger.

Kelly spent most of his time at home with his family, enjoying each other at home. “There was a 'black and white TV with three good channels and you had to get up and change the channels,” he said. “We also had a phone that was in the kitchen, a rotary phone, attached to a cord. My brother and I would ride our bikes over to the dry farms and hunt morning doves, raising sheep, pigs, and cows. We would work in the mink with Don and Smoky Dillree and would haul hay for many of the neighbors and for my Grandpa Adams on the dry farm.”

Kelly said he loved to be outside to hunt with his dad or to take care of the animals. “We would always get up before school to get our chores done. Sundays were always at home with family and a big dinner, spending time with family and would end off with a ride around the county and stopping to get a hand-dipped ice cream cone at Buzzy’s, which was the only store opened on Sundays at this time.”

Connie would ride her one-speed Stingray bike to and from home spending her summers swimming at Como Springs with family and friends. Fond memories were also spent at the Francis Ranch where she enjoyed fishing at the pond with her Dad and siblings and riding around the back of the truck looking for pot guts. Traveling to the Uintahs, the mini tote goat, visits to the frog pond, and sitting around the campfire at night with Dad were favorite activities during the summer.

Kelly and Connie started dating in the fall of 1974, their senior and junior year respectively. After Kelly graduated in 1975, he worked at Precision Built Homes and later served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Toronto Canada Mission for two years. His Mission President was M. Russell Ballard. After Connie graduated in 1976, she went to the Bryman School where she studied to be a dental assistant, moving in with her grandparents Harry and Alta Jones in Salt Lake City to do so. She lived there for six months attending school and working in a dental office applying what she learned.

When Kelly returned home the last week in December of 1977, they were engaged the following month of January. Married April 28, 1978, in the

Ogden LDS temple, they are celebrating 46 years of union this April. They first lived at the Johanson Apartments for almost three years. Building a home with the help of Kelly’s dad, they have lived there for 42 years. Kelly and Connie have three children: Kasey, Aaron, and Charity. A busy household, the Preeces followed the kids around supporting their various activities of little league football, basketball, baseball, and church activities. The family spent many days hunting, fishing, and camping at the Francis Ranch. “We loved riding around just looking at the wildlife. Our children still enjoy doing the same with their families.”

We also carried on the tradition of Sunday dinner and going for Sunday drives around the county along with dinner each week with our children and grandchildren. We love being together as a family each week and sharing each other's company and stories to tell around the kitchen table. We get together on the different holidays of the year. For the summer holidays, we still have a barbecue with the recipe for basting the chicken in from Alice’s family of vinegar garlic and butter. For Christmas and New Year’s, we try to have the famous Adams family tipsy cake and Christmas around the tree with grandchildren eager to open presents from grandma and grandpa.”

Kelly and Connie’s posterity consists of Kasey and Yesi Preece with their children, Emma, Mikel, and Nikolas. Aaron and Malarie Preece and their children Boston, Treyson, Kolton, Whitlie, Jaydon, and Allie. Charity Croxford and her twins Paige and Patien, along with Braxton, and Eastyn.

Kelly worked at the Holcim Devils Slide Cement Plant for 37 ½ years and Connie worked at the First National Bank for 27 years manning the drive-up window. The people they met through their careers became dear friends and missed presences after retirement. Retirement now consists of following grandchildren around in their different activities. “With having 13 grandchildren, it keeps us busy following them around, and we love doing this. It is our favorite thing to do!”

We had the opportunity to serve a service mission in the inner city of Ogden for 27 months in the Liberty Park ward. It was an awesome experience and learning to love those in which we served. We now enjoy serving on Wednesdays in the Ogden Temple helping family and friends. Kelly is serving on the school board and enjoys helping the community and the kids. In the summer, he enjoys golfing and working with Compound Construction building houses. Connie enjoys walking on the treadmill, doing diamond art, following and helping her grandchildren, and doing puzzles and word searches on her iPad.

We have been truly blessed as many others have been. It doesn’t mean there hasn’t been trials, heartache, and loss. But as the years have gone by you begin to recognize how lucky and blessed we are. A

The city will put the project out to bid on two different schedules in case bids for the trail do not come in as favorably as the maintenance project. That way, regardless of the bid amounts, the city will at least be able to get the Commercial Street portion of the project done, Bailey said.

The first section would be from the edge of the sidewalk on Commercial St. to the fairgrounds property. The second would be a loop under the bridge and back. This will put the city ahead on that project by a year over previous expectations, he said. l

good family, good friends, a great place to live, and God and church in our lives,” said the Preeces. In looking back at their lives, they advise to “take time to slow down and enjoy the ride! We live in a fastpaced world, take time to smile, visit with a friend, family member, neighbor, or a stranger to smile and listen to what they have to say.” l

WHAT TO WATCH

‘Kung Fu Panda 4’ a charming continuation of the beloved series

By Jenniffer Wardell The Movie Guru

Even after all these years, this panda’s still got some magic in him.

Though it’s been eight years since “Kung Fu Panda 3” was in theaters, this weekend’s “Kung Fu Panda 4” is a charming, ultimately worthy continuation of the series. Directly flowing from character development beats first brought up in the previous film, “Kung Fu Panda 4” brings all the laughs, emotional weight, and great fight scenes audiences could hope for. It also takes a new character that could have been tacked-on and integrates her beautifully with the larger themes of the series, giving the series added juice that may end up carrying it even further.

In “Kung Fu Panda 3,” Master Oogway declared Po his successor. In the current film, Master Shifu decides that means that Po needs to retire as the Dragon Warrior so he can learn his new duties as spiritual leader. Po isn’t thrilled about giving up his current job, and when word reaches him that an old foe has

returned he jumps at the chance to investigate. Is this one last adventure for the Dragon Warrior, or a mistake that will put the entire world at risk?

Though there are callbacks to Po’s earlier battles, the face-off against the Chameleon doesn’t feel like a re-tread. Po has grown as a person throughout the movie series, and like in previous movies their final battle reflects the growth he’s experienced. Jack Black clearly loves Po as much as ever, and is as committed as always to capturing his unique spirit. On a lighter note, the team-up of Po’s goose dad (voiced by the fantastic James Hong) and panda dad (voiced by the equally fantastic Bryan Cranston) is an absolute delight.

Awkwafina does an excellent job of voicing Zhen, a tricky fox and Po’s impromptu partner on the adventure, but I was initially afraid she was a sign sequelitis was setting in. Too many other series’ have done it before, bringing in new characters partway through to create a “tonal change” that sabotages everything that came before it. Zhen was such a scamp I was sure she was meant to do the same thing to Po.

Membership. Additionally, Milly Mikesell placed sec-

in Leadership Objective Test. Reece Crowther, Brightyn DeBoer and Emily Ferrin placed fifth in Place Marketing Mix (Shark Tank). Melia Rollins, Greta Sill and Sophia Wimmer placed fifth in Critical Thinking.

The writers, though, knew exactly what they were doing. They dig down to Zhen’s depths and make her something of a mirror to Po, hearkening back to the state he was in at the first movie. It’s either great closure for the series or a great continuation, and either way it leads to a fun, unexpectedly deep dynamic between her and Po. I never would have pictured him with a sidekick, but it turns out she’s the perfect one.

Some might argue that the movie’s plot twists are predictable, but in this case it’s simply a sign of solid narrative and thematic structure. It is important to refresh yourself on the previous movies before seeing this one (or catch them for the first time if you’ve never seen them.) “Kung Fu Panda 4” isn’t a bad movie without them, but it’s better if you can recognize the echoes from earlier films.

Po may be growing up, but getting to hang out with him is still as special as ever.

Grade: Three and a half stars

Aaralyn Auxier placed fifth in Planning an Effective Meeting. Melia Rollins, Greta Sill and Sophia Wimmer placed fifth in Place Critical Thinking and Aaralyn Auxier placed fifth in Planning an Effective Meeting.

“The 28 students represented MGMS with unparalleled dedication and demonstrated exceptional talent throughout the competition,” said Fullmer. “I had the chance to work with several of them as they prepared over the last couple of months and was blown away by

their efforts.”

Fullmer said he was pleased with all the students who competed. “I am incredibly proud of our students and grateful for the unwavering support from the parents and educators. It is moments like these that remind us of the remarkable potential and promise of our students.” l

Junior trio the glue that held the Morgan boys basketball team together

By Brian Shaw

The juniors who comprised this Morgan Trojans trio of boys basketball players had a sweet tooth. And all were adventurous. But one, Kolton Asay, had a bit of a mischievous side as well.

“Kolton is the oldest of three brothers. He would’ve been spoon fed until he was out of the house, if his parents would’ve let him,” joked his mother. “He loves his cat but also loves to tease it, just like his siblings. Even at [age] 17 he would love to go spend the night with either of his grandparents all by himself – without his siblings.”

In the spirit of being the eldest sibling, Asay would often send his younger brother out on a dare “to make sure it was safe.” And the 6-foot-3 inch Asay was just as calculated with the round ball, as the junior set a school record with 75 three-pointers, averaging 13 points per game for the Trojans.

Ben Russell made some astounding athletic plays for the Trojans during the season, but he also has a love for sweets,

according to his mother.

“Ben not only has a love for basketball and football – he also has a love for bacon and for syrup,” said his mother. “Ben is the easiest, kindest, sweetest kid you will ever meet. He was born with a smile on his face and is always happy and excited about everything.” At a stout 6-feet-1-inches, Russell did a little bit of everything for his team, averaging three points, two rebounds and one assist for the Trojans.

As for Nate Pace, his mother described the junior as a “kind, thoughtful young man who loves spending time with his family and going camping with his cousins.”

In addition to having a love for basketball, Pace is “a lifelong Kansas Jayhawks basketball fan and loves to watch March Madness,” added his mother.

When Pace isn’t hooping, you can find the 6-foot-4-inch junior at your neighborhood B-Dubs, said his mother.

“He enjoys going to Buffalo Wild Wings and hanging out with his friends,” she said. Pace saved his best basketball for last as he scored season-highs of five points on three occasions including five points, four rebounds and one block Feb. 9 versus Ben Lomond. l

Three sophomores played roles in Morgan boys basketball’s run to state berth

By Brian Shaw

Although the season ended earlier than anticipated on Morgan’s home floor to eventual champion Judge Memorial in the 3A second round, the Trojans have a bright future ahead. They had eight sophomores who got varsity playing time and one even led the team in rebounding and blocks.

In the next few articles, the Morgan News will tell you more about these boy basketball players, beginning with three sophomores.

Trace Henderson – Mr. Motor:

“Trace has been on the go since day one and hasn’t stopped since! He’s got a special knack for turning anything and everything into a competition,” said Trace’s mother, who added he dreams big and lives loud.

Trace wanted to make sure everyone knew that he was “the favorite kid [in the family] because he’s the most athletic Henderson.” His mom added that when Trace doesn’t have a ball in his hands or at his feet, “you might find him thrifting for the next drippy find at the bins.” Henderson was listed on the Trojans’ varsity roster for all 24 games and dropped two points on APA West Valley Dec. 19 in a 83-57 win.

Mason Williams – Mr. Workaholic

According to Mason Williams’ mom,

Mason lives up to the quote, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going.”

The 6-foot-8-inch Williams set a school record with 32 blocked shots this season, and “is the one you want when you have a hard, ugly job to do, because he will be with you to the end to finish it.”

Williams always stays at an even keel, added his mother. “He is such a fun kid to be around and has a great sense of humor. He has never been a kid to play video games much or want screen time; he has always wanted to have a ball in his hand or be on an adventure with his many buddies every second.”

Jack Hurd – Mr. Sincerity

Jack Hurd has held a ball, bat or football since he could walk, said his mother.

Hurd averaged about two points per game for the Trojans and has a knack for memorizing players names and numbers – something he’s done since kindergarten, his mom said.

His favorite is the one he’s playing at the time, added Hurd’s mother, who said that as much as he loves sports – he loves people more.

“As parents we get compliments weekly about Jack asking them how they are doing, how work is going and other questions that show the interest he has in their lives.” l

Board of Education February wrap up

Special Education, building improvements, and student safety were the main topics at this month’s meeting of the Morgan School District Board of Education. Here are your highlights.

Special Education Director Steve Wood explained the growing need for Special Education services for our students. He emphasized the increasing number of students receiving services and the range of services required, including more professional testing to identify specific needs and best practices for accommodating these students. This includes the need for more staff overall, more training for our staff, and access to a licensed psychologist. The district is considering ways to manage resources to fulfill these needs.

Business Administrator Scott McMillan outlined details of two building projects within the district. The first is the replacement of the small gym at Morgan Middle School. Funds for this project come from a grant from the State, specifically for small districts to use for capital improvements (building projects). The second project is the replacement of the existing welding shop at the high school with a new addition to the main building. This will bring facil-

A

ities that are updated for modern equipment, consolidate instructional spaces, and additional parking on the north corner of campus. The funds for this project would come from money the board has been earmarking in the budget each year for building improvements.

Other issues include the need for the high school to increase the drivers education fee to offset expenses while keeping the total cost down, discussion of the revised Head Injury Policy to address potential issues with concussion, and a review of the TSSA (additional grant program) framework to clarify how funds can be allocated – in fact, community council members had just held a training session earlier that included the TSSA.

Finally, the board approved the updated 2024-25 calendar, which includes potential make-up days for snow days.

For more information on any of these items, please visit the district’s or the specific school’s webpage.

The board’s next meeting is scheduled for March 12, 2024, at 5 p.m.

Providing resources for students and families

Morgan County School District has recently asked Destiny Field to take the lead for all of the student intervention services offered within the schools. As part of that responsibility, Field has put together a few new websites on the district page that gather all available resources into one easy-to-access place.

“It is of utmost importance that students and families have access to help that is researched, vetted, and proven to be successful, especially when dealing with depression or suicide ideation,” said Field. “Unfortunately, well-meaning groups or individuals can often cause more harm than good when championing these causes without the proper training and support. Each of the resources available on our website has been thoroughly researched and vetted by experts in the field and is age-appropriate for children

in various stages.” The website offers assistance on everything from bullying to homelessness to depression and anxiety to supporting children through grief and loss and much more. The district also has school counselors in each building who are trained to help students with everyday issues and who are ready to refer families to more intensive care if needed.

Dustin Fullmer grew up in West Point, Utah. After graduating from Clearfield High School, in 1993, he attended Western Wyoming Community College before transferring to Salt Lake Community College. He finished his degree in Professional Sales at Weber State University.

“My goal was to become a teacher back when I first enrolled in college,” said Fullmer. “Then 29 years later, I was presented with an opportunity to join the staff at Mountain Green Middle School after a successful career in sales.” Fullmer is currently in his second year teaching at MGMS where he has taught fifth and sixth graders Computer Skills and seventh and eighth graders CCA – Business, Digital Literacy, Sports & Entertainment Marketing and Middle School Entrepreneurship.

“I have always enjoyed working with youth in church and coaching,” he said. “There were several teachers and coaches that helped shape my life and I wanted to pay it forward by becoming a teacher. I thoroughly enjoy working with the students and seeing their skills and knowledge increase.”

Fullmer said he loves teaching because it allows him to inspire others and build meaningful relationships. “Teaching also allows me to learn from my students and peers; and share my ‘real world’ experiences in the lesson plans that I prepare.”

Location:

As part of the Morgan High Coaching staff, Fullmer is an assistant football coach working with the freshman defensive lineman. He is also the head coach for the sophomore team and assists with the varsity team. In addition to coaching at the high school, Fullmer is the coach for the inaugural chapter of FBLA at MGMS.

Fullmer has been married to his wife Krachel for almost five years. Krachel currently teaches at Morgan Middle School. Together we have six kids. Hailey, 25, lives in Orem with her husband Josh, and their son Baker and daughter, Quinn. Courtney, 22, lives in Syracuse and is currently a CNA at Intermountain Healthcare.

MMS TEACHER SPOTLIGHT

Krachel Fullmer

By Verlene Johnson

Krachel Fullmer was raised in Heber City, Utah. After graduating from Wasatch High School, Fullmer attended Dixie College where she received her associate degree before transferring to the University of Utah where she received her Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communications. She went on to graduate from the University of Utah in 2002.

Fullmers teaching career began as a substitute teacher, working throughout Morgan School District. In March of 2022, she was asked by Mr. Mikesell, principal of Mountain Green Middle School to serve as a long-term sub at MGMS as a FACS/ CCA teacher. “Mr. Mikesell taught me a lot about teaching and how to better work with both students and teachers,” commented Fullmer. Around the same time she was offered a full-time position at Morgan Middle School, which she started in the fall of 2022. Fullmer is now in her second year of teaching where she teaches CCA, Digital Literacy and Sports Marketing to seventh and eighth grade students.

Before becoming a teacher, Fullmer worked for 10 years for local television stations in Utah and Wyoming, followed by an additional 10 years working in Communication roles for local non-profit and government entities. “As my children have grown and gotten busier, I have felt a pull to be closer to them and available after school. Teaching allows me to share my love for business while being closer to home. It's really the best of both worlds!” said Fullmer.

“One of my most favorite things is watching students improve their typing skills while in my class. It's very rewarding to see them improve their speed and accuracy during their time in my class.”

Outside of teaching, Fullmer is MMS’s FBLA advisor. She started the inaugural chapter last year and has found success both years at state-level competitions.

“In addition to watching my husband coach freshman football games and sophomore girls’ basketball games, I also follow my ninth grader to all of her activities with the high school cheer team,” she said. “We kind of feel like we live at the schools but we love every minute of it.”

Fullmer has been married to her husband Dustin, who is also a teacher at MGMS, for nearly five years. Combined they have six children and two grandchildren.

Both Dustin and Krachel left successful careers in sales and public relations, to pursue their teaching careers the same year.

We spent every single night during the 2022-2023 school year sitting on our couch, watching Jazz games, making lesson plans and grading papers.” Krachel said. “We are truly loving every minute of being able to serve and teach in Morgan School District.” l

From Lisa’s Kitchen: CHICKEN PATTIES

Living in Utah offers me the most wonderful seasons and I am finding myself reaching for the change into our next season, spring. Even though my crocuses are up and open during the day – they still close tight at night. My daffodils have begun to send their shoots towards the sun. But it is not yet here, I know, because my propane is still too cold to cook outside. So instead of a barbecuing burger recipe – I have a wonderful light chicken patty recipe. They cook sensational and take the place of a hamburger patty any time. I use leftover chicken, canned chicken or even bottled chicken from my food storage. These patties are wonderfully crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. They make great leftovers...and I have even been known to dip them in sauce and eat them cold!

‘Redemption of Poncho Villa’

Monday, Feb. 19, the Morgan Chapter of the Sons of the Utah Pioneers gathered for their monthly luncheon at the Rock Chapel where Larry’s famous “Spring Chicken Inn” chicken was served. Visitors and new members were introduced. Local chapter member, Francis Tilby, presented the pioneer minute, introducing himself and sharing the story of Nicholas Paul, his great, great grandfather, a convert and early Immigrant to Utah. Nicholas was a major contributor in the construction of Cove Fort in central Utah.

The luncheon’s presenter was Clark B Hinckley. He has worked in banking most of his life, including as senior officer of Zions First National Bank where he continues to serve as an advisory director. He is the author of “Christopher Columbus: A Man Among the Gentiles,” and editor of “Rescued, the Courageous Journey of Mary Goble Pay.” Hinkley is a graduate of BYU in mathematics and Harvard Business School. He and his wife Kathleen, who was at the luncheon, served as mission leaders in the Spain Barcelona Mission. They also served as president and matron of the Tijuana Mexico Temple. They coauthored “Taking off the Tag: A Transition Guide for Returning Missionaries.” They are the parents of six children.

Hinckley presented the fascinating story of the “Redemption of Poncho Villa,” Known as a robber, murderer and revolutionary, Poncho was pursued by both the Mexican and US governments.

He did however maintain a sporadic relationship with the Mormon colonies in Mexico. Later in his life he had a significant conversation with Mexican Mission President James “Bert” Whetten and Bishop Joseph Bentley. In 1965, 46 years after that meeting and 42 years after Poncho’s assassination, President Whetten would have a dream with a visit from Poncho Villa, reminding him to keep his promise to help him. After receiving permission from Church President Joseph Fielding Smith, his temple work was completed in the Mesa Arizona Temple. Ten years later he would finally be recognized by the Mexican government as a national hero instead of an outlaw, making his “redemption” complete. Thank you for a glimpse into a little known and inspiring part of church history. l

Hollywood Q&A

By Adam Thomlison TV Media

Q: What ever happened to the actress who played Cerie on “30 Rock”?

A: Katrina Bowden’s career took a pretty strange path after her star-making role in “30 Rock,” in which she played Cerie, the youthful bombshell administrative assistant to the show-within-a-show.

Bowden first pivoted to the big-screen horror genre in films such as “Hold Your Breath” (2012) and “Piranha 3DD” (2012).

On the small screen, she started dabbling in made-for-TV movies, including the 2017 rom-com “Once Upon a Date” and the 2017 Lifetime thriller “Framed by My Fiancé.”

But the weirdest move came in 2019, when she became a series regular on the long-running soap “The Bold and the Beautiful.” Soap roles are usually the first thing on an star’s resume, not a midcareer move.

Not only that, she was part of a weird little cluster of stars doing the same thing: Bowden joined the show the same year as Denise Richards (“The World Is Not Enough,” 1999), who played her mother, and a year after Wayne Brady (host of “Let’s Make a Deal”), who played the doctor who secretly switched her baby (this is a soap, after all).

Bowden’s character was written off

“Bold” in 2022, and she’s returned to the TV movie game since.

Q: Did the guy who played Jimmy on “Breaker High” go on to anything else? I know Ryan Gosling did, obviously.

A: To the extent that we should feel bad for any successful screen star, we can feel a little bad for Tyler Labine, who will forever be the “other” guy from “Breaker High.”

Labine co-starred with Ryan Gosling (“Barbie,” 2023) in the YTV (UPN in the U.S.) teen series back in the late ‘90s, playing Jimmy. And while he hasn’t reached award-winning superstar status like Gosling, he’s done pretty darn well for himself since.

Most recently he was part of the

ensemble of the NBC medical drama “New Amsterdam,” which ended last year after a five-year run. That was just his most recent series lead role, after previously starring in sitcoms such as The CW’s “Reaper” (20072009), Fox’s “Sons of Tucson” (2010) and Hulu’s “Deadbeat” (2014-2016). He’s had a successful film career as well. Most notably, he toplined his very own buddy-comedy flick in 2010, “Tucker and Dale vs. Evil” (he played Dale). A year later, he had a smaller role in one of the biggest movies of the year, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” playing Robert Franklin, one of the ape handlers at the laboratory where all the monkey business started (sorry).

Celebrity Profile

By Jay Bobbin TV Media

Keke Palmer has been successful in revising her television career, and she now has a Primetime Emmy to prove it. After briefly being a talk show host by joining Michael Strahan and Sara Haines in ABC’s now-defunct “GMA3: Strahan, Sara & Keke,” the actress is now fronting a game show — a revival of one of the most popular in TV history, and the one that earned her the Emmy recently. Palmer returns to preside over the Jimmy Fallon-produced “Password” when it starts its second season on NBC, Tuesday, March 12 (also streaming the next day on Peacock).

Fallon participates as one of the celebrities who either provide or respond to their playing partners’ clues to guess secret passwords. Among other personalities slated for the new episodes are Fallon’s ABC late-night rival Jimmy Kimmel (“Jimmy Kimmel Live!”), “Gilmore Girls” and “Parenthood” alum Lauren Graham, “America’s Got Talent” judge Howie Mandel, musician Chance the Rapper, skiing icon Lindsey Vonn and some returnees from Season 1, including singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor and actor-comedian Joel McHale (“Animal Control”).

The “Password” Emmy for Outstanding Game Show Host was the second one Palmer won, having gotten her first a year before for Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series for Facebook Watch’s “Keke Palmer’s Turnt Up With the Taylors” (in which she played all of the characters). She’s no stranger to honors in general, having picked up an NAACP Image Award in 2007 for the movie “Akeelah and the Bee,” then four more for the Nickelodeon children’s series “True Jackson, VP” and another for her voice performance in the animated Disney-Pixar film “Lightyear” (2022).

The Cleaning Lady After a one-and-a-half-year hiatus, “The Cleaning Lady” returns to Fox Tuesday, March 5. Season 3 sees the return of Thony De La Rosa (Élodie Yung), and the introduction the mother and father from whom Arman Morales (Adan Canto) is estranged: Teresa Morales (Jacqueline Obradors) and Eduardo Morales (Jason Manuel Olazabal).
