Morgan community goes pink for volleyball game By Verlene Johnson

n Sept. 27, Morgan High School traded its traditional Trojan maroon and white attire for pink. With the halls, gym and fans decked out in pink they are ready for the 12th annual Sheri Wright Pink Night, sponsored by the MHS volleyball team. Sherie was an educator with a great love for volleyball. She could be found in the gym at any given practice and never missed a game. Not only did she want to see success on the court but also in the classroom where she treasured education. Wright lost her battle with cancer on March 10, 2012. Through a silent auction, with items donated by members of the community, a baked good table, donation buckets and a live quilt auction, members both within and outside of the community helped to raise $17,000 which will be donated to cancer research. Before the game started five members of the community who have or are currently battling cancer were honored. Taking center court with their families were Jace Hansen, Tiffany Netz, and Danielle Bagnell. Sam Digman, who was too sick to attend was represented by his parents. Jace Hansen, a seventh grader at Mountain Green Middle School, was diagnosed with stage three Osteosarcoma and bone cancer in his right femur in May of 2021. He completed six rounds of chemotherapy at Primary Children’s Hospital. After two rounds of chemo, he underwent a 10-hour surgery where the majority of his right femur was removed replacing the bone with a metal rod and receiving a full knee replacement. After an additional surgery this past summer to remove a nodule on his right lung, Jace is currently in remission. “Jace is the toughest kid,” commented his family. “He never complained about having to go through this. Jace is a war-

organ High School's girls tennis team competed at region on Sept. 20, beating Grantsville, Ogden, South Summit, Ben Lomond and St. Joseph’s to take first overall. Many players did well individually, with Katelyn Steel taking first in first singles, Savannah Dutson taking first in second singles, Addie Morgan taking second in third singles, Ryann and Sydney Jensen taking first in first doubles and Lucy Tripp and Brylee Adams taking first in second doubles. Katherine Hadley, the team's head coach, said, “The Morgan High Girls Tennis team has had a very busy and successful season so far. The team is undefeated in region play.” The team has played 21 matches and have only three team losses, which were against Corner Canyon, Lone Peak, and Crimson Cliffs--6A and 4A teams. “Sisters, Ryann and Sydney Jensen play doubles together and have been on fire this season with a record of 20-1!” Hadley added. The team took state for the second year in a row on Saturday, Oct. 1, beating Rowland Hall by just six points for

NEWS BREAK Couric urges women to get mammograms

TV host Katie Couric said she’s been diagnosed with breast cancer, and underwent surgery and radiation treatment this summer to treat the tumor. Couric, who memorably was tested for colon cancer on the Today show in 2000, announced her diagnosis in an essay on her website, saying she hoped it would encourage other women to be tested. “My left breast does feel like I’ve been sunbathing topless, but other than that, I’ve felt fine,” she wrote. Couric’s first husband, Jay Monahan, died of colon cancer in 1998 at age 41 and her sister Emily was 54 when she died of pancreatic cancer in 2001. Given her family history, Couric wrote, “why would I be spared? My reaction went from ‘why me?’ to ‘why not me?’”

Facebook parent company shuts down two fake accounts

Facebook parent company Meta announced it had detected and shut down two separate networks of fake accounts engaged in covert influence operations run from China and Russia. The Chinese network was small and received barely any attention, but it did include some accounts that posed as Americans on both sides of the political spectrum, according to a Meta report. Meta publicly detailed the takedown as it remains on high alert for foreign interference in the U.S. midterm elections, a Meta spokesperson told CNN. Ben Nimmo, Meta’s global threat intelligence lead, told CNN it was the first time the company had seen Chinese accounts targeting Americans in this way. The company has shared details of the Chinese accounts with the FBI, a Meta spokesperson said.

the win. The team had players in four of the five championship events and took first in both of the doubles events, with sisters Ryann and Sydney Jensen taking

first in first doubles and Lucy Tripp and Brylee Adams taking first in second doubles. l

The House has passed legislation introduced by GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California to make it harder to overturn a certified presidential election in the future by proposing changes to the Electoral Count Act. Cheney and Lofgren say the recommendations could help prevent a future attack on the U.S. Capitol and argue this legislation is critical, pointing to candidates currently running for offices at the state and federal level who could impact future elections. The vote was 229-203. All four of Utah’s congressional representatives voted against the bill. Supporters of the plan must now decide how to reconcile the differences that exist between the House and Senate’s version of the proposed changes to the Electoral Count Act.

Morgan City prepares for future growth Linda Petersen lpetersen@mycityjournals.com MORGAN — Morgan City has done well in providing culinary water to its residents, but upgrades will need to be made over the next 10 years to serve future growth, Matt Harvigsen of Jones & Associates Consulting Engineers told Mayor Steve Gale and the city council in their Sept. 27 meeting. That night the city council unanimously approved a Culinary Water Capital Facilities Plan and Impact Fee Facilities Plan which outlines the upgrades needed to address the expected growth. “The Culinary Water Capital Facilities Plan and Impact Fee Facilities Plan identify projects that you need to continue to grow, and it also identifies projects that you need to fix some problems that you may already have in the system,” Harvigsen said. “The Impact Fee Facilities Plan portion will also identify the costs associated with those projects and then how much of those costs are attributable to growth.” What shortcomings the system currently has are minor, Harvigsen said. “None of the deficiencies were affecting daily water use; the deficiencies were all related to trying to pull a large fire flow through a small line in some of the fringes of the city, areas where the water lines don’t loop or connect together.” In the plan, proposed water system improvement projects include two new drinking water wells, additional chlorination equipment for the Park Well, the purchase of North Morgan Springs, expanding water storage in the North Morgan Tank from 100,000 gallons to 1.5 million gallons, construction of an additional storage tank and extending the upper pressure zone of the Sunset Drive Waterline loop to 525 North, along with developing aquifer storage

and recovery for springs, and replacing aging waterlines and equipment. The total estimated cost for those projects at 2022 dollars is $9,283,230. Most of that cost, $8,703,306, would be covered by impact fees. To fund these projects the consultants expected that the city would have to pursue federal grants and low-interest federal loans (which would paid off by future impact fees). While developing the plan the consultants used areas identified in the city’s general plan’s annexation decla-

ration. “We identified that even though the sources will produce enough water for your annual needs, there are times in the summer where our peak days water use is higher than we feel comfortable with,” Harvigsen said. “So, we want to start developing a couple of new sources — a well— so that we can meet those peak-day demands.” It is important that when the city annexes areas, it brings in sufficient water rights to offset that demand, he said. That night the council also ap-

proved an updated culinary water conservation plan completed by Jones & Associates. That plan recommends three goals for the city to work on: creating a drought contingency plan or adopting a conservation ordinance by December 2023; increasing reporting accuracy and reducing the city’s per capita water use rate by 5.5 percent by 2027. The plan recommends the city work to reduce water use by 1 percent each year over the next five years to achieve that result. l

Morgan Grace Church offers Free Lunch to Members of the Community By Rachel Cordeiro

organ Grace Church has been part of the community for the past decade. Under its new leadership, it still remains active through numerous community service efforts. Over the past several months the church offered pop-up “Party in the Park” events in the local parks of Morgan, Henefer and Coalville. During the summer, the church hosted a Backyard Bible Club at Riverside Park that included Bible teaching, games, inflatables, and free food. Providing free food to the community has become a mark of their ministry, and they do so to demonstrate their love and appreciation for the people of Morgan in a tangible way. The members of Morgan Grace Church have recently provided snack bags to the JV football players following one of their home games and served meals to the teachers and staff of Mountain Green Middle School, as well as to the city and county workers. Pastor Gavin Roberts commented, “Mayor Gayle and the ladies in the city office, have always been kind to us. We were thankful for a chance to serve them.” Pastor Gavin also added that the church loves supporting the schools and athletic programs as he declared, “Go Trojans!”. He is one of the coaches for the MHS Football team.

Page 2 | October 7, 2022

Pastor Chase Roberts, who happens to be the twin brother of Gavin Roberts, is also a pastor at Morgan Grace Church. As former teachers themselves, both Pastor Chase and his sister-in-law, Hayley Roberts (wife of Pastor Gavin), understand firsthand the time and investment it requires to work in a school; a few of the church members happen to be employed by MGMS as well, and Pastor Gavin’s experience includes substitute teaching and coaching. Because of their background in the education field, the pastors and the entire church wanted to offer encouragement to those currently working in the Morgan County school system.

Their plan is to provide a meal twice a year for each school within the Morgan County district. The success of these community service opportunities is a result of the support that Morgan Grace Church receives from partners and friends located throughout the country. For this most recent event, Daniel Compton from Hampton First Baptist Church in Georgia, made the trip across the country for the purpose of providing his assistance for the task. He prepared and cooked all

of the food, enabling MGC to serve the dear people of this community. It’s obvious that Pastor Gavin Roberts has a heart for the people of this town and it’s clear the people of Morgan Grace Church do too. He shared, “We are a church in Morgan for Morgan. We love our town. We love being involved. We are thankful that everyone allows MGC to have a place in our community. God has blessed us. Our hope is to be a blessing in return.”l

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month By Rachel Cordeiro

ctober is Breast Cancer Awareness Month which is recognized internationally. Historically, discussing cancer in conversation was often considered culturally taboo until well into the 1900s; according to the book, Crusade: The Official History of the American Cancer Society, public discourse often referred to it only as “prolonged women’s disease”. It is First Lady Betty Ford who can be credited with the change in its social stigma. In the 1970s, Ford’s transpar-

ency during her own battle with breast cancer helped to spark a cultural transformation in the discussion surrounding the disease. Awareness first began at a smaller, individual level when people such as Betty Ford and others began to openly share their own personal experiences with breast cancer. As a result, opportunities for awareness grew on a larger scale as organizations began to focus on various campaign efforts as well. Initially, in 1985, a weeklong emphasis on awareness was established through the partnership of Imperial Chemical Industries and the American Society for the Control of Cancer with

a primary focus on early screening through mammograms. This was the first national breast cancer awareness event. Later, this week became an entire month focused on breast cancer survivors and patients. Breast cancer awareness is important because it is key in helping women learn to identify early signs and symptoms of the disease, allowing for the chance of an earlier diagnosis. Awareness has also helped to encourage a greater effort in research and its focus on finding a cure. Ultimately, increased awareness allows others to be educated on the facts surrounding the disease which

results in an increased knowledge in our communities. This knowledge fosters an atmosphere of care, support and hope for women battling the disease, removing the social stigma and common misconceptions once surrounding its diagnosis. l

PINK NIGHT from page 1 rior.” Tiffany Netz, is a fourth-grade teacher at Morgan Elementary School. She has been married to her husband Shawn for 26 years and is the mother of two sons. Netz was diagnosed with breast cancer a week before the start of this school year. After teaching the first day of school she went into surgery to have a port placed and was back to teaching the next day. Unfortunately, Netz is no stranger to cancer. Her father, Ron Crouch, has battled Multiple Myeloma for over 20 years and her mother, DeAnne Cowan has beat breast cancer twice. Her family is hopeful that with genes like that, Tiffany will beat this. The Netz family would like to thank the community for all the love and support they have received during this difficult time. Sam Digman, an eighth grader at MGMS, was diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma on July 8, 2022. Sam is the first person in the nation with Down syndrome to be diagnosed with this type of cancer. Sam is currently being treated at Primary Children’s Hospital. While his prospect for a full recovery is good, he will have seven months of intense chemo, then two years of maintenance

I love playing at pink night. The whole atmosphere is different. So many people from the community come to support this amazing event. It is a big night that the Morgan volleyball team is very passionate about. So many lives are affected by the horrible disease. Timber Peterson which means monthly visits for ongoing chemo treatments. Danielle Bagnell, is a mother of two teenagers and the stepmother of two more. Bagnell has been diagnosed with stage three melanoma skin cancer which has spread to her lymph nodes. After a couple of removal surgeries and skin grafts, Bagnell is undergoing treatments at the Huntsman Center every month. “Anyone can do anything with the right motivation and being a mom is motivation,” says Bagnell. Additionally, Kerrie Gordon, who was not in attendance was also honored. Gordon is the mother of six

children. She was diagnosed with breast cancer not long after MHS swim team, that she coaches, took state last year. After undergoing six weeks of intense radiation, she is now cancer free. Her daughter Grace is the manager of the MHS volleyball team. After asking for those who have or are currently battling cancer to stand and be recognized, and a brief moment of silence, the women of Ovation sang the national anthem during the presentation of the colors. Between each round of the match, three quilts and two volleyballs signed by the team were auctioned off. Auctioneer Scott Rees said that participating in an event like this is different than other events he has done. He commented that it means a lot to him to be able to help raise money for pink night because his wife, passed away from cancer a few years back. The game ended in the Trojan's favor with a 3-0 win over Ben Lomond High School. However, the real winners were those who will benefit from all the money that was raised during pink night.

It is a big night that the Morgan volleyball team is very passionate about. So many lives are affected by the horrible disease.” Peterson's aunt has battled breast cancer but is now cancer free. She said being so close and watching someone go through that changed her life forever. “Every time I step onto the court on pink night I play for her and others that have been affected by cancer.” “I think pink night is different than any other game because you are playing with a purpose other than to win,” said Rylee Johnson, another senior player on the team. “I know all the money we raised is going to something very beneficial for those who have had or are currently dealing with breast cancer. It's fun to play in an environment like that because people are more engaged and energetic and it's an event that brings everyone together for a good cause.”l

ennifer Fritz grew up in the Salt Lake and Draper area. After graduating high school, she attended Southern Utah University majoring in Theatre and Communications. “My dream was to become a college professor,” said Fritz, “So, I planned to go onto grad school in Theatre.” Changing her plan after she met her husband, she decided to attend Weber State University to get her teaching certificate. Fritz began her teaching career at Clearfield High School, teaching Theatre for five years until she had her first child. She stayed home to raise her four children for 23 years while staying in the theatre and education world by substituting and helping with her own children’s high

school musicals. In the spring of 2019, a former student messaged Fritz asking if she had ever considered going back to teaching. “I honestly never thought I would go back, but my baby was 16 and I thought I would investigate the opportunity,” she said. “After a few thoughtful weeks, I decided to go back.” That fall she started at Morgan High School as the Drama Teacher. She is currently in her third-year teaching theatre while directing musicals and plays at MHS. “I love teaching because I love teenagers, weird as that may seem, they have such a great, hopeful energy and they make me smile,” commented Fritz. In her spare time Fritz, likes to spend time with her family, traveling, playing games, photography, listening to books and taking naps; “that has always been a hobby of mine.” l

Community council helps each school in the district By Gwen Romero MCSD Spokesperson

chool Community Councils were implemented as part of the Utah Land Trust Program to involve parents and teachers in providing oversight for how the Trust funds are spent to support school improvement goals. Each year, schools are asked to update their improvement plans by identifying academic needs and establishing goals for improvement. The council reviews these plans and oversees how funds are directed, from the Land Trust and the TSSA grant, to provide essential resources that support those goals. Through their monthly meetings, council members also stay informed about specific programs at their schools, act as parent representatives when the administration seeks feedback, and help promote educational excellence and school programs within the community. They also represent the parents with

committee assignments at the district level, advise and make recommendations about school programs, review school safety plans, and help the school stay informed about community issues. Essentially, the parents who serve on each council act as advisers to the school and provide oversight for specific funding programs. Council members serve two-year terms; parents are eligible for re-election and service as long as they have a student enrolled at the respective school. For more information about School Community Councils, their mandate, and their responsibilities, please visit: https://www.schools.utah.gov/schoollandtrust/councils For more information about your school's Community Council, visit your school's page via the district website: https://www.morgansd.org/. Each page has information about elections, members, agendas, and schedules. l

Celebrity Profile

By Joshua Amy TV Media

Series that amass huge fan engagement have the potential to launch their stars to new heights. That is exactly what happened to “Supernatural” co-lead Jensen Ackles. Following his role as Dean Winchester, one half of the series’ monster-hunting duo, the actor has an even brighter future ahead. Fans of the Winchester brothers haven’t heard the last of Dean: Ackles returns to narrate “The Winchesters,” “Supernatural’s” prequel series, premiering Tuesday, Oct. 11, on CW. Ackles’ acting career began in earnest after he graduated high school and moved from Dallas to Los Angeles in 1996. A year later, he had his first big break, landing the role of Eric Brady on NBC’s iconic soap opera “Days of Our Lives.” The young actor made quite the impression at the time, winning the Soap Opera Digest Award for Best Male Newcomer and going on to be nominated for a Daytime Emmy three years running. Following his departure from the soap, Ackles set his sights on prime time, first landing a small role in the Marilyn Monroe biographical miniseries “Blonde” before joining the cast of the second (and final) season of James Cameron’s sci-fi series “Dark Angel.” From there, Ackles would go on to play the recurring role of C.J. on “Dawson’s Creek,” thus kicking off a prolific career with the CW (still operating as The WB at the time). Ackles moved from “Dawson’s Creek” to “Smallville,” appearing for one season as love interest/surprise twist antagonist Jason Teague and showcasing the breadth of his talent ahead of his most famous project.

MHS’s Bike Team Takes Second in Moab, Looking for a Victory at Region By Cameron Bess

organ High School’s Mountain Bike Team placed second at their race in Moab on Saturday, Sept. 24. The team had over 70 riders’ race and had eight individual podiums. Tysen Condie, a senior on the team, said, “It’s been an awesome season so far and it’s super cool to see so many people podium in their races.” Mountain biking is one of the fastest-growing high school sports in the state and Morgan’s team is one of the best, winning every race last year including region and state. This year the team was moved up a division and now races against 5A and 6A schools, even though they are 3A, showing just how competitive Morgan’s team is. So far the team has taken second to Skyline at each of their races but is hoping to break that streak at region on Oct. 8, in Vernal. After the race in Moab, Nathan Patterson, a varsity rider on the team, said, “It was a super fun, technical course but definitely a difficult race, I can’t wait to race Vernal and hopefully see the team win.” The mountain bike team has region and state left this season and riders say they can’t wait to see what the rest of the season brings. l

NHS inducts new members at MHS By Ethan Hoffmann

he National Honor Society elevates a school's commitment to the values of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. These four pillars have been associated with membership in the organization since it was founded in 1921. On Monday, September 26, 2022, an Induction Ceremony took place at Morgan High School. According to https://www.mvcs. org/uploaded/Student_Services/ NHS_Qualifications.pdf, the four basic requirements for membership are scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Students are eligible to apply for NHS membership if they demonstrate citizenship and academic achievement by achieving a 3.65 or higher. Students are required to perform three hours of personal and three hours of chapter service each trimester while in NHS. It isn’t easy to achieve this honor, but it is well worth it for those who put forth the effort to be chosen. NHS is available to seniors and juniors respectively, and students who qualified for NHS received a letter from the staff in September. In the letter was a list of instructions for candidates to write an application or letter of recommendation. This application must be thorough and highlight the student’s accomplishments within the

four pillars. After the candidates were finished, they were instructed to hand in their applications to advisors Mrs. Valdez or Mrs. Rock to be reviewed by the board. After careful consideration, the faculty committee selects members based on a majority vote. Those selected for membership in the National Honor Society were congratulated with another letter and invited to attend the ceremony with their parents. “We had just over one hundred new inductees who are Juniors and Seniors at Morgan High,” said Valdez, “They qualify by having a cumulative GPA of 3.65 or higher and applied their willingness to provide service to their community, leadership to their peers, and demonstrating high levels of character.” The ceremony took place in the auditorium at 6:30 p.m. This was required for prospective members to be inducted into the MHS Chapter. The meeting was called to order by Emory Hopkin, a member of the NHS presidency for the MHS chapter. Then Ben Nichols, a student president, introduced the night’s speaker: John Schlichte. Schlichte spoke about the importance of the four pillars of NHS and how they will help individuals and organizations be successful in the future. To do so, he compared them to his foundation, Warrior Rizen Ranch. Warrior Rizen Ranch is a 6,500-acre Dude Ranch in Morgan, Utah for Mil-

itary and Survivor families. Inviting veterans and their families to escape their day-to-day lives and come to the ranch to experience a weeklong vacation where we work hard and play hard. Here veterans will learn to raise animals and grow their own food, push cattle and play cowboy for a week. https://warriorrizenfoundation.org/ Following Schlichte’s remarks, current members were introduced by Parker Stephenson and Jailee Snow, also members of the NHS presidency for the MHS chapter. After the introductions, the inductees rose from their seats with purpose and made their way to the stage for the Candlelight Ceremony. The students carried their candles to the stage in alphabetical order and formed four rows on each of the stairs, representing the four pillars of success. One by one, Presidents Sharon Gunn, Connor Brown, Rhett Nye, and Landri LaJeunesse educated the audience on each of the four pillars and lit the candle of the first student on the row that corresponded with their topic. The steady glow of candlelight lit the excited faces of the students as they waited for their candles to be lit by their neighbors. The flame was shared among the inductees until it made its way down the stage, lighting the entire row. Once all four rows were burning, the Chief Executive President, Ben Hadley, led the new members in the Induction Pledge.

Finally, Presidents Lucy Tripp, Paitlee Dorius, and TaeLynn Skidmore introduced the new members one by one as they made their way down the stairs where they had the opportunity to shake the hand of Principal Crae Wilson and receive a certificate award. After the new members had received their certificates, they found a seat in the auditorium and President Addie Morgan explained the current service project opportunities for the trimester. Closing remarks were given by President Capri Rich and the meeting was adjourned to the dessert bar. “NHS has been an incredible program to be a part of, and it’s gratifying to know that I am part of a society so dedicated to service and scholarship.” said Landri LaJeunesse, one of the fourteen NHS Presidents for the MHS chapter. “Induction night was an especially cool experience, we had so many new inductees and it was amazing to see the support everyone had from their families and their peers. I actually had the privilege of getting to light the first torch, which was intimidating, but a really momentous experience nonetheless. I am very grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to be so involved this year and I’m looking forward to helping these new faces along in their journey through the NHS program.” l

Weber Human Services unveils new campaign in Morgan By Verlene Johnson School Editor

s you walk the Mickelson Mile behind the high school, you may notice a scavenger hunt along the path. Weber Human Services in partnership with Weber-Morgan Health Department, Morgan City and Morgan County School District unveiled a campaign through Parents Empowered to help stop underage drinking. A small crowd gathered at Riverside Park Tuesday, August 9. This group was not there to cool off in the splash pad or to play on the playground, they were there to learn the importance of family bonding and ways to talk to youth about underage drinking. A giant mural on the side of the restrooms at the park says “Big futures have STRONG ROOTS.” Along with signage in the dugouts of the baseball field. Kim Crookston of Weber Human Resource Prevention Team said during the unveiling of the campaign, that connection with parents and the community is a protective factor against many health problems including underage drinking. She also spoke of the importance of family dinners to normalize the conversation of no alcohol. Morgan Middle School Principal Michelle Morrell, Morgan High School Counselor and HOPE Squad Advisor, KyLee Rock along with HOPE Squad members Paiten Croxford and Isabell Pincock all spoke of the importance of good communica-

tion between parents and teens. Morrell also emphasized normalizing conversations about underage drinking. She encouraged parents to stay involved on a daily basis just like they would with any other part of their education. She also mentioned Utah's data from SHARP survey shows that teens are more influenced by parents than they are by their peers. Croxford spoke about setting clear rules with your family about no alcohol use and reviewing them regularly. Pincock talked about how it is important now for youth to choose while they are young to not drink alcohol and to stick with it. Rock said while teachers try to make a connection and are an important influence on teens, parents take it one step further with family relationships. She said studies shows that strong family bonds lower stress, offers a protective shield and offers a sense of belonging. The concluding speaker was Morgan City Mayor, Steve Gayle. He spoke of the influence of his dad that changed his life. “I am happy the city will team up with an origination like this where we can have reminders to each other to make sure it is still important in our lives that we still remember our children are our greatest joy.” In addition to the signage at the park and throughout Mickelson Mile, which was provided by parentsempowered.org, the picnic tables in the two largest boweries at Riverside

Park, are wrapped with tabletop games for families to play together. Parentsempowered.org is a website dedicated to helping prevent underage drinking. During Morrell's speech she mentioned five questions that parentsempowered.org suggest parents ask as their child is leaving the house: Where are you going? Who will you be with? What will you be doing? When will you be home? Will there be alcohol?

This shows your children you want to be involved with their lives, and these conversations normalize the conversations. Morrell also suggests talking to teens when they arrive home and having a continual conversation with them about not drinking.

When Will Inflation Peak? By Robert Spendlove, Zions Bank Senior Economist

fter signs that inflation might be cooling, August brought disappointing news. Over the last year, overall prices have jumped 8.3% nationally and 9.6% in the mountain region. Economists had hoped inflation would continue a downward trend after price increases showed signs of slowing in July. Instead, consumer prices rose slightly in August, increasing 0.1% from the previous month. Even the 10.6% drop in fuel prices wasn’t enough to bring down overall costs across the economy. Increases in housing, food, and medical care were some of the top contributors to the

August Consumer Price Index. Notably, food has increased 11.4% over the last year — the largest increase since 1979. Summer’s end brought some price relief, particularly in airline fares, communication, and used cars and trucks. In addition to overall inflation, economists often focus on core inflation, which excludes the more volatile categories of food and energy. Core inflation focuses on underlying price changes in the economy and is the preferred inflation measure of the Federal Reserve. And unfortunately, this is where more troubling indicators emerged. Core inflation rose 6.3% year over year, up from the annual increase of

5.9% in July. And on a monthto-month basis, the increase was even more dramatic. While core inflation increased 0.3% in July, it doubled to 0.6% in August. This means that even when excluding the more volatile indicators of price changes, underlying inflation continues to accelerate in the United States. The continued price increases make the job of the Federal Reserve more difficult. The Fed is trying to fight rising prices and get inflation back to their target of around 2%. Their main tool to do this is interest rates, and persistent high inflation means that the Fed has more work to do and will need to move rates higher for a longer period of time. Higher interest rates tighten finan-

cial conditions, which causes demand to weaken for housing, cars and business borrowing — a phenomenon we’ve already started to see in the housing market. In the meantime, the effects of inflation will remain. Ongoing inflation means families who are already struggling to keep up with higher prices will have more tough times ahead. Inflation is like a regressive tax that especially hurts lower income consumers who have less money to absorb price increases. Time will tell if the Federal Reserve can temper soaring prices without triggering a recession, but the runway for the ideal scenario of a soft landing is getting narrower. l

Morgan City prepares to allow basement apartments per state law Linda Petersen lpetersen@mycityjournals.com MORGAN — The city council has made the first move toward allowing accessory dwelling units in Morgan. These units include basement apartments and apartments on the same floor as primary dwelling space as well as garage units. This is in response to a state law passed in 2021 which requires cities to have such an ordinance on the books. At an Aug. 23 city council meeting, resident David Castral addressed this issue. Castral and his wife built a 2,600 square-foot home on a .35-acre lot in Morgan in 1994 where they raised seven children, he said. These days he and his wife are retired empty nesters and have a lot of extra space, he said. “Now that all of our children are raised with families of their own, we find ourselves with excess space in that 2,600 square foot home — about a thousand square feet or so,” he said. At that point Castral began to investigate creating an internal accessory dwelling unit in his home, he said. “We have that space in our basement that could be easily converted into a comfortable … internal accessory dwelling unit,” he added. “… I think it has a lot of potential for just a beautiful residence for someone else to share.” The city council seemed supportive of allowing these units which are currently not permitted in Morgan. “State code trumps city code,” anyway, City Planner Jake Young told the city council and planning commission that evening. “This is not a choice; it’s a mandate and it’s mandated on all cities in the state of Utah,” City Attorney Gary Crane said. “It is also mandated on all HOAs (homeowners associations).” Many homeowners are in the position of having raised a family in a

haelee Reden has dreamed of opening her own salon since childhood and that dream has now become a reality. As a native of Morgan, Reden’s family roots are planted deep into the community; some of her fondest memories as a young girl are centered around visits to her grandfather who was a doctor at a former urgent care facility located in the same building in which her salon will now reside. “I remember running through the halls as a 12-year-old girl and noticing sinks in each room, which I later recalled while in hair school when imagining the perfect setting for my own salon someday.” Her plans were temporarily placed on hold when she moved away from the area for ten years. In 2020, shortly after returning to Morgan with her husband and children, Reden noticed the building was available for lease; this was the sign she needed before taking that first step toward making her dream of salon ownership a reality. Her dream didn’t happen magically, and the process was not quick. Although Reden faced several obstacles along the way which included two floods in the building, equipment delays due to a shortage of materials during the pandemic, as well as a few other frustrating setbacks, her hard work and perseverance have certainly paid off. “Sometimes, you have to take a big bite then figure out how you can chew it,” Reden commented, sharing her own summary of a quote from author Sean Whalen. This advice has been a mantra throughout her journey as a business

larger home and then dealing with an abundance of space once their children leave home, Crane said. “The idea is now you’ll be able to fill that house with people who need homes, whether it be a young couple, whether they be a caregiver for you or whether they be another elderly couple. That was the intent of the legislature — to open up a whole new series of housing for individuals that can’t afford it right now.” “By state law if someone came in with an application for an internal ADU and they met certain requirements they would have to be permitted,” Young said. That evening Mayor Steve Gale directed the planning commission and Young to work on an ordinance that would allow attached and internal dwelling units. The state law outlines multiple specific requirements for these units. The primary home must be on a lot of at least 6,000 square feet. The “unit” or apartment must be occupied by the owner and must be a secondary unit in a single-family home. Only one entrance can be visible from a city street. The apartment must maintain the character of the home it is a part of. No shortterm rentals of these apartments are allowed. Mobile homes cannot be converted to allow for this type of unit. At least one additional parking space must be provided. If garages are converted to apartments, alternate parking stalls must be provided. The apartment owner must also receive an Internal ADU business permit from the city. The planning commission discussed internal accessory dwelling units at their Sept. 20 meeting. Young is now working on a draft ordinance for their October meeting, and the planning commission plans to hold a public hearing in November before making a recommendation to the city council. l

owner, a journey she’s navigated with determination. When many others might have thrown in the towel, Reden’s resolve and focus have kept her going. Her tenacity and grit are traits she learned firsthand through life on a ranch. A qualified team of stylists and technicians are now providing a variety of services including hair, manicures, pedicures, tanning (both beds and spray), teeth whitening, massages, botox, piercings and tattoos. The name of the salon is Affirmations, a name carefully selected to help reinforce positivity in the minds of others about themselves. The inspiration behind the choice grew out of Reden’s desire for everyone to feel confident in who they are as a person, embracing the beauty and freedom of individual style and expression. Ultimately, Reden hopes to continue to inspire others daily through her business and personal interactions with others; her dreams for the future include hosting women’s retreats focused on body positivity and confidence in addition to motivating others in their own journeys. The motto of Affirmations Salon and Spa serves as a simple, yet needful reminder for all: be you, do you, for you. Reden wants anyone who walks through the door of Affirmations Salon and Spa to know they are welcome and that they belong, an atmosphere she plans to foster intentionally in the salon and in the surrounding community. Reden is always interested in adding to her qualified team and encourages those who are interested in either renting a booth or in booking an appointment to contact her directly at 801-821-8907.l
