to have that available and so I as a resident of the county wholeheartedly support the development of that 4 acre parcel down the road from Morgan.”

At the March 12 county commission meeting Commissioner Matt Wilson expressed some concern about how snow would be handled on the property.

“We have a serious concern with snow and we keep approving these places with no snow storage,” he said. “I’ve been talking to our Public Works and they can’t keep removing snow the way that we're going. So whether we have to change our ordinances or what, we need snow storage on these site plans.” County crews only plough public roads and the county does not regulate how private sites handle snow removal, As-

Coast Guard ends active search and rescue in Baltimore bridge collapse (NPR)—Six people are presumed dead after Singapore-flagged, Maersk-owned cargo ship, Dali, crashed into Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday morning.

New de-influencing trend has emerged

(NPR)—It's common to see influencers on social media try to convince you to buy new skincare, clothing, books, gadgets and more. But in the past few years, a new trend of de-influencing has emerged. As these de-influencers gain popularity, what started as a backlash to advertising could have real benefits for the environment. De-influencing encourages people to buy less stuff and use what they already have.

NBC has dropped its newest contributor

(CNN)—NBC News on Tuesday ousted former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel, just days after her hiring as a paid political analyst sparked intense backlash from the network’s top television anchors over McDaniel’s role in subverting the 2020 election and attacks on the press.

Why are Costco’s hot dogs still $1.50?

(CNN) —Inflation has touched nearly everything these last few years. But Costco is holding the line on its hot dog-soda combo price. Costco’s hot dog deal, sold at its food courts, is still priced at $1.50 – exactly what it cost in 1985, before the Great Recession, the housing crisis, the pandemic and the latest bout of decades-high inflation. Costco’s $1.50 combo is a strategic decision, known as a loss-leader: The company is willing to lose money selling the hot dogs at that price so long as it helps Costco draw in and retain customers.

Kate Middleton announces cancer diagnosis

After days of feverish speculation about the location and condition of the Princess of Wales, she revealed that she was undergoing treatment for cancer following a January surgery that had resulted in the diagnosis. Middleton is not revealing the specific nature of the cancer she is being treated for, and the family has emphasized that she deserves a reasonable amount of privacy as she deals with the medical situation. The same approach was taken by King Charles, who was also recently diagnosed with an undisclosed cancer and is undergoing treatment as well. The situation has generated apologies from a number of media figures who promoted conspiracy theories about Middleton in the wake of a photoshopped image. It has also driven record numbers of visitors to UK cancer information websites.

sistant County Planner Jeremy Lance responded. Regardless of that, Wilson said he was concerned about sites with very tight space and no snow storage.

Site owner Kelvin Judd addressed Wilson’s concerns saying they have planned for snow removal/storage on site. He pointed out two different locations on the site plan where snow can be stored.

The county has stipulated that Wildcat Storage will need to address some indefensible dead zones on its site.

“The applicant has reported that

they can address that with camera coverage and some intense lighting in those areas,” Lance told commissioners.

Wilson also requested that Wildcat provide some additional architectural elements to one of the buildings immediately adjacent to and running parallel to Old Highway, to which the applicant Kelvin Jack seemed amenable to the request. After the discussion the commission voted unanimously to approve the site plan.l

7-1 softball team playing well

By Liisa London Mecham

With a 7-1 record, the MHS Softball team continues their great start to the season. Although they dropped their first game of the season to 6A Cyprus Monday, they are undefeated in Region 13 play and look strong going into their other region matchups.

March 21, the Trojans defeated South Summit 9-0, and the next day South Summit defeated the reigning 3A Champions Grantsville 3-1. Morgan

showed their strength against Region 13 opponent, Union, with a 16-2 mercy rule victory in Roosevelt March 22.

The Trojans’ 8-5 loss to Cyprus at home Monday, March 25 still showed the team’s power and tenacity as they scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to decrease the scoring margin.

Morgan didn’t dwell on their loss; they came back Tuesday in Ogden to beat the Tigers 4-2 to bring their overall Region 13 record to 3-0. l

WHAT TO WATCH

The Movie Guru: Godzilla and Kong dominate streaming options

By Jenniffer Wardell The Movie Guru

“Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” is opening this weekend, and there’s a lot more going on here than just our two beloved behemoths. It’s part of Warner Bros. MonsterVerse series of films, which has its own complex history and mythology. If you want to catch up, there are several streaming options ready to help you out. If you just want to celebrate the majesty of our favorite monsters, there are plenty of movies out there as well.

“Godzilla” and “King Kong” (Netflix)

This is the Godzilla that marks the official beginning of the current MonsterVerse series. The only recurring character from here that shows up in “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” is Godzilla herself, but this is where we start getting into the current lore about where the monsters come from and what it means for us humans. Godzilla is naturally the best part of the movie, but Bryan Cranston’s performance

is also definitely worth watching.

This “King Kong,” on the other hand, isn’t connected to the version of the big guy you’ll see in “Godzilla x Kong.” Peter Jackson’s epic but too-long remake keeps the original’s tragic origins while giving us a preview of the fight scenes we’ll experience later. Let yourself get teary over the ending, then move on to a happier cinematic world where Kong is alive, well, and fighting even more creatures.

“Kong: Skull Island” and “Godzilla vs. Kong” (Max)

These are the prequels that lay the real groundwork for the new film. This is the actual backstory for Kong, painting him as an island protector who lost the majority of his people. He’s the real star of the show, as is right, but there’s also the chance to watch Brie Larson and Tom Hiddleston being pretty.

“Godzilla vs. Kong” is the direct prequel to the new movie, and therefore is the one most helpful to watch in advance. There are actually recurring human characters (played by Rebecca Hall, Bryan Tyree

Henry, and Kaylee Hottle), and the introduction of underground worlds that will appear in the sequel. Though the fight between our two cinematic giants is somewhat contrived (though not as much as the one in “Batman vs. Superman”), the battles are definitely worth it.

Classic Godzilla (Tubi)

If your heart is still with the old-school Godzilla movies that were distributed by Janus Films decades ago, then you’ll want to head over to Tubi. The site has several early Godzilla movies, including “Gojira” (1954), “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” (1956), “Mothra vs. Godzilla” (1964), and “Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla” (1974). Some of these characters have made appearances in MonsterVerse movies – Mothra appeared in 2019’s “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” while Mechagodzilla was in 2021’s “Godzilla vs. Kong” – and it’s fun to see the original versions. Even more than that, there’s a real charm to the rubber suit monsters that no CGI can really match. l

Trojans soccer blanks South Summit, blasts Union in Region 13 play

By Brian Shaw

Two days after a gritty 3-2 overtime win over Ogden, the Morgan Trojans boys soccer team was back on the home pitch for a showdown with South Summit Wednesday, March 20.

The Trojans got one goal in a tightly contested first half of action at home to take a 1-0 lead going into the half.

Then, Morgan [6-1, 3-0 Region 13] scored two more goals in the second half to take a 3-0 win over South Summit.

“This team plays hard and with a lot of confidence,” said Morgan coach Seth Wallace, now entering his fifth year in charge.

Senior Beau Johnson scored one goal for the Trojans, sophomore Trace Henderson ripped in one goal as well, and senior Jett Beckstrom continued his assault on the school record books with one goal of his own as the Trojans upped their league mark to two wins in two games. Seniors Johnson, Noah Kinney, and Brandon Allgaier were each credited with an assist.

Two days later, the Trojans would travel to Union for another Region 13

matchup on Friday, March 22. Morgan rolled to a 7-0 halftime lead behind a hat-trick of three goals from Beckstrom, two goals from Henderson, and two from sophomore Cody Adams.

The Trojans would score two more goals, one each from Johnson and junior Luke Francis in the 9-1 rout at Union. Seven players would get assists for Morgan, and juniors Sam Sugden and Connor Wirick would contribute their first points of the season while Johnson had two assists to add to his team-leading total.

Beckstrom has now scored 10 goals in just seven games for the Trojans and is six from tying Isaac Lowder’s current-day school record. But the more realistic all-time mark to watch in the next week is Beau Johnson’s seven assists thus far—the senior midfielder is only two away from tying Cam Burt’s nine that was set last year.

“We are definitely very dangerous with our attack,” noted Coach Wallace. “Beau and Jett have been really good, but our midfield and defense have been able to control the game with our ability to press and make dangerous passes

forward.”

For the Trojans, league play continues this week with games at Grantsville on Tuesday, March 26, and at Ben Lomond on Thursday, March 28.

After that, it’s Spring Break. But, as

Coach Wallace warned City Journals, there is plenty of work left for this Trojans boys soccer team to accomplish.

“We have a long way to go still to reach our goals for the season,” said Coach Wallace. l

Morgan baseball improves to 6-3 on the season by manufacturing some runs

By Brian Shaw

For the first few games of the season, the Morgan Trojans baseball team scored by primarily slamming heavy shots into the distance.

And that worked for the first five out of seven games for the Trojans – they raced out to a 5-2 record.

But, Bonneville did the same thing that Kanab and Bear River did to Morgan earlier this season in losses – the Trojans got outgunned once again. Senior ace Brigham Spens was shelled for seven hits and 11 runs in a 2-11 loss at Bonneville Monday March 19.

These losses haven’t happened often

this season to the Trojans – and Spens has had the tough luck of being the pitcher during all three of Morgan’s setbacks – but all have led to blowouts that are called before the seventh inning.

Good news for the Trojans? They’d play a game the very next day on Tuesday March 20, back on their home field.

It sure didn’t take long for Morgan bats to warm up as the Trojans blasted home 10 runs in the first inning alone to take an 18-3 victory over Judge Memorial. Senior Ben Harden hit three RBI and sophomores George Jensen and Benton Palmer each knocked in two runs. Juniors Beck Sheffield and Camron Talbot belted a run apiece and sophomore Cooper Stuart hit his first RBI since March 9

in the win. Talbot also collected his third win of the season as a Trojans’ pitcher as Morgan only needed five innings of work.

Two days later saw the Trojans back at home against Delta on Thursday March 22. The Trojans were held scoreless in the first inning. After Sheffield gave up one run in the top of the second inning, the Morgan bats lit up once again, scoring six runs in the bottom of the second en route to a 13-3 win. Sheffield got the victory on the mound, the junior’s first on the season. With Sheffield’s bat heating up – the junior also hit four RBI including two doubles versus Delta – that is undoubtedly a big help for a Morgan team that

scores plenty of runs over the easier teams but can’t seem to defeat squads from much larger schools.

In the win over Delta, sophomore Luke Bauerle had his first hits since March 9 and had three RBI, while Brigham Spens and Ben Harden each slammed home two RBI and sophomore Kanyon Leonelli one run.

Next up? Two games in two days against rivals Grantsville, Monday March 25 [away, after press time] and Wednesday March 27 at home. The Trojans will close out the week playing a non-league game at Roy, on Friday March 29. l

UTAH CROPS VALUE DROPS TO $17,000,000

The products of Utah’s farms, exclusive of commercial truck and canning crops, were worth $17,000,000 this year, says the annual summary of Frank Andrews, federal agricultural statistician. This compares with a production of $19,790,000 last year and $18,208,000 in 1932. Although the drop is large it is not considered alarming in view of the fact that the worst drought in history scourged the state in 1934. The farmers suffered their biggest losses on sugar beets, potatoes, and hay. The potato crop this year was worth $572,00, compared with $1,029,000 last year. It has been impossible to estimate the val-

ue of beets, but the production dropped from 912,000 tons last year to 251,000 tons this year.

WATER PROSPECTS ARE NOW DECLARED GOOD

Outlooks for a good supply of water is better now than it has been since 1931, said D.D. Harris, manager of the Wever River Water User’s Association and executive secretary of the Davis and Weber Counties Canal Company, following a trip Saturday to the watershed areas of the East Canyon Echo Dams, says the Ogden Standard-Examiner.

There are 6300 acre-feet of water in the Echo Reservoir and 2400 acre-feet now in the East Canyon reservoir, he said.

Shyrl Dee Davis, age 92, peacefully passed away on March 18, 2024, at Tambree Meadows in Idaho. She was born on Sept. 14, 1931, in Tremonton, Utah to Wesley and Lois Evelynn Dustman.

On July 4, 1950, Shyrl married Donald B Davis in the Logan LDS Temple. Donald’s passing in 2016 left a void in her heart that she carried with grace. Throughout her life, Shyrl resided in Mt. Green and St George. A dedicated student, she graduated from high school with many certificates in Arts & Crafts.

In 1968, Shyrl concluded a rewarding career at Hill Field where she dedicated herself diligently. Not only was she a skilled artist who shared her talent with others but also enjoyed refurbishing homes alongside Don.

Her love for vibrant gardens was evident as she always tended to one with care and dedication.

Shyrl's faith was a cornerstone of her life as a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This devotion led her to hold various church callings including the role of Relief Society President in Madrid Spain Branch.

Shyrl leaves behind her children Dahlene Hancock and Brent G Davis; grandchildren Colette Stenersen, Dustin Jones, Dakota Jones, Hailey Linger; as well as 12 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

She is reunited in peace with her parents

Wesley and Lois Dustman; husband Donald B Davis; daughters Talona Jones & Kim Davis. A graveside service honoring Shyrl's life was held on Monday, March 25, 2024, at the Riverview Cemetery (175 E. 1200 S., Tremonton). Prior to the service, a viewing took place from 12-12:30 p.m. at Rudd Funeral Home-Tremonton (111 N. 100 E., Tremonton). Online condolences may be found at www.ruddfuneralhome.com.

May Shyrl's kindness continue to inspire all those who were fortunate enough to have known her.

Hollywood Q&A

By Adam Thomlison TV Media

Q: Is Charlie Cox actually blind?

A: Charlie Cox, the actor who played the titular blind superhero in Netflix’s “Daredevil,” is not blind himself. But he’d be pleased to know that you asked.

Cox put a lot of work into giving an authentic performance, to the extent that an agency that advocates for the blind community honored him for it. He received a Helen Keller Achievement Award from the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) in 2015, a few months

TELEVISION GUIDE

after “Daredevil” premiered. “He pushed himself to be accurate and efficient, and this was a whole new level of drive,” said the AFB’s Joe Strechay, who helped Cox prepare for the role.

Strechay helped Cox with things like how to move about in public as a blind person, and how to move his eyes believably.

But Cox also took a less conventional approach, at first. He said in an interview with Screen Geek that he had an optician craft special contact lenses that would look like his own eyes but that would actually blind him.

“[I] put them in and I couldn’t see a thing, and I thought, ‘great, I’ll do that and I don’t have to do any acting,’” he said. However, this didn’t end up being a sustainable preparation method for the actor.

Q: Is there any movement on the “Community” movie Dan Harmon promised us?

A: The script is “almost” ready. That may not sound like much, but it’s actually pretty encouraging news.

That’s because the script seems to be the last missing piece.

Dan Harmon, who created the beloved NBC sitcom “Community,” basically caved to fans’ demands to make a movie after the show ended in 2015.

Since then, it’s been announced that they have a deal in place to put the movie out on the Peacock streaming service (which makes sense, as the show originally aired on NBC). And the stars have all agreed to appear.

So, all that’s left is the actual script. But for the famously rewrite-addicted

Harmon, who’s writing the film, “almost” done is about as good as it gets. And he admits that himself.

“The script is always ‘almost done,’” he told Variety magazine in February.

“What can I tell you about it — it’s set on the campus of Greendale Community College.”

That detail is more significant than it sounds, too. The whole show, of course, was set at Greendale. But a lot of time has passed — we’re at nine years and counting since the show’s sixth and final season ended — and fans were starting to wonder if maybe the movie would be catching up with the characters in their new lives, outside of college.

Celebrity Profile

By Jay Bobbin TV Media

It’s been a big decade for Kelsea Ballerini since she launched her professional career, and she’s marking it in a big and appropriate way.

The Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Award-winning star returns for the fourth consecutive year — going solo in the job this time — as host of the CMT Music Awards, which CBS and Paramount+ present Sunday, April 7, from the Moody Center in Austin, Texas. No stranger to such events in recent years, either to preside over the given occasion or perform at it (or both), Ballerini is nominated for three of the honors herself: video of the year and CMT performance of the year, both for “If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too),” as well as female video of the year for “Penthouse.”

Ballerini began performing very early, taking up dancing when she was 3 years old and starting to write songs at age 12. She made a record label deal at 19, and it didn’t take long for her to make CMT’s Next Women of Country list after she issued her first single, “Love Me Like You Mean It.” The tune went to the top of Billboard Magazine’s country chart, making her only the 11th solo female country artist to accomplish that with her debut single. She then made history again by also hitting No. 1 with her followup single, “Dibs.”

The fast-rising status Ballerini attained in the music world got added confirmation when she joined NBC’s “The Voice” for its 15th season in 2018, as she was made a fifth coach — the first time the contest had added such a slot — and returned to the show during Season 20 in 2021. A few months later, Ballerini was inducted by Carrie Underwood as a member of the legendary Grand Ole Opry, and she went on from that to stage her successful Miss Me More Tour in 2019. She also headlined her Heartfirst Tour in 2022-23, and she has toured with such other acts as Keith Urban (“Blue Ain’t Your Color”), Kelly Clarkson (“Stronger”) and Kenny Chesney (“When The Sun Goes Down”).

Lopez vs Lopez “Lopez vs Lopez” is back for another season with two back-to-back episodes airing Tuesday, April 2, on NBC. This larger-than-life comedy stars George and Mayan Lopez. Follow as the once-estranged father and daughter, along with the rest of their family, navigate the joys and headaches of making up for lost time.
