Morgan’s Business trick or treat a ‘sweet’ tradition

NEWS BREAK

By Verlene Johnson

Mass shooting in Maine claims 18

housands of pieces of candy were handed out on Halloween before the traditional door-to-door trick-or-treating began in Morgan. Morgan’s businesses have passed out candy to the young and old for over 15 years as patrons walk from State Street to Commercial Street to Trojan Blvd. collecting the sweet confections. Hot dogs, donuts, and tacos also make an appearance for various businesses. Morgan’s Business Trick or Treat has become a favorite Halloween tradition of many in the Morgan Valley.

Alleged Maine mass shooter Robert Card was found dead in a cargo trailer on the property of a recycling facility where he used to work. The discovery provided some sense of relief to the town of Lewiston, Maine, where the shooting occurred but it also raised a number of questions for the ongoing investigation. Last Wednesday, Card opened fire at a bowling alley and then a bar and grille in the town, leaving 18 people dead and at least 13 others injured. As the investigation has unfolded, police have learned that the Army reservist had a long history of mental health concerns, including several warnings that he may be considering some sort of mass casualty event. As recently as this summer, Card was treated for mental health issues and released. The guns used in the incident were all apparently purchased legally. The investigation into the shooter’s motives is an ongoing multi-agency effort.

Three schools in MSD celebrate Red Ribbon Week Mountain Green Middle School

By Verlene Johnson

ed Ribbon Week, the largest drug prevention campaign for schools in the U.S. was held Oct. 23-31. Mountain Green Middle School, Morgan Middle School, and Mountain Green Elementary School had dress-up days and fun lunchtime activities helping students learn how to stay drug-free while getting a natural high.

After continuing to poll in the middle single digits, former Vice President Mike Pence officially suspended his pursuit of the presidency. Suspending the campaign means that Pence will keep his campaign organization on standby to potentially be restarted at a later time if it is deemed viable. Former president Donald Trump is leading in the primary polls by large margins over Florida governor Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina governor and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. DeSantis, who is closest, is polling at around 13% to Trump’s roughly 57%. While it seems unlikely that the landscape will change very much before next spring’s primaries, Trump is currently involved in multiple court trials that his opponents are hoping may weaken his numbers. Pence has not announced any additional plans moving forward yet.

Matthew Perry dead at 54

Beloved actor and star of popular show “Friends” was found dead over the weekend in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home. Initial investigations of the scene have not found any evidence of foul play or drug use, but a full investigation and toxicology screening will be a part of the investigation into the unattended death. Perry had a long and well-documented struggle with drugs and alcohol over the years, though he was reportedly clean and in good health in the time leading up to his death. “Friends” is a show that has been loved and viewed by millions, and is one of the most frequently rebroadcast and streamed shows in media history. Friends and relatives have been outpouring their fond memories in the days following the discovery.

Halloween ends with a bang at Trunk or Treat

here were many opportunities besides Halloween for trick-ortreaters to load up on sweets this year in Morgan. Young Automotive brought back its annual Trunk or Treat this year, which saw close to 500 people in attendance. The event featured food trucks, a

coloring contest, face painting, balloon artists, and more. The blocked-off streets and volunteer/employee supervision made for an exciting, and safe event for all involved. All of this on top of regular trick-or-treating. Happy Halloween, Morgan County!

TRACTORS BLOCKING OFF the roads made for a much safer way to trick or treat.

Origins of Veterans Day explained, celebrations for Morgan veterans announced By Verlene Johnson

n the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in the year 1918, an armistice was signed agreeing to end World War I. On the first anniversary of the end of the war, Nov. 11 became officially known as Armistice Day. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 to have an annual observance on Nov 11. Legislation was passed in 1938 to make Nov. 11 a new legal holiday to honor World War I veterans. Because World War II and the Korean War created millions of additional war veterans, Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower officially changed the name of the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day, in 1954. When the Uniform Holidays Bill was passed by Congress in 1968, Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday in Oct. Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holiday on its original date. In 1975, Pres. Gerald Ford returned Veterans Day to Nov.11 because of the important historical significance of the date. Today, Veterans Day commemorates veterans of all wars on Nov. 11. Aug. 4, 2001, the United States Senate passed Resolution 143, designating the week of Nov. 11 through Nov. 17 as "National Veterans Awareness Week." The resolution calls for educational efforts directed at elementary and secondary school students concerning the contributions and sacrifices of veterans. Unlike Memorial Day which honors those who have died in military service,

Page 6 | Nov. 3, 2023

Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans who have served their country whether living or deceased. Special thanks are given to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime. Every Veterans Day and Memorial Day, Arlington National Cemetery holds an annual memorial service. The cemetery is home to the graves of over 400,000 people, most of whom served in the military. Morgan County takes great pride in the veterans. Having veterans in the schools is a long-standing tradition for Morgan School District. Monday, Nov. 6, veterans will visit Morgan Middle School classrooms. For several years, Morgan Middle School has invited the community to participate in their Veterans Day Assembly which will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 8 at 1:00. Mountain Green Middle School will welcome local veterans to their school to visit classrooms on Thursday, Nov. 9. Being able to visit classrooms gives the students the opportunity to interact with the veterans and allows them to ask questions. Morgan High School will be serving breakfast to the veterans of Morgan County the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 8 at the high school beginning at 7:30. The breakfast has become an annual tradition sponsored by the SBOs. Flags will be placed around Morgan Valley by the MHS Spirit Squad with many others posting their own flags outside their front door. The Morgan County News expresses its appreciation to all those veterans in Morgan County who have served in the Armed Forces. l

‘Priscilla’ a bittersweet fairy tale, while

‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ an oddly sweet nightmare By Jenniffer Wardell The Movie Guru

Priscilla (in theaters)

Sometimes, fairy tales don’t have happy endings. Other times, the happier ending isn’t the one you thought it was going to be at the start. That’s the case with Priscilla Presley, whose 1985 autobiography was adapted into the new movie “Priscilla.” The Sofia Coppola-helmed film chronicles Priscilla’s life from when she first meets Elvis to when she leaves him decades later, taking a bittersweet, almost dreamlike approach that makes it all feel like a fairy tale. Not a happy one, necessarily, but definitely one with trapped princesses, monsters to slay, and true love that stays strong even if it doesn’t quite make it to ever after. The movie is a surprisingly faithful adaptation of the biography, though it makes an odd choice of keeping the plot largely episodic. Priscilla first met Elvis when she was 14 years old, when both her father and Elvis were stationed overseas in Germany. Though her parents initially opposed the age gap, Elvis quickly charmed them and the two got

married when Priscilla was 19. That was when she was moved to Graceland, entering a world of drugs, fame, and mercurial tempers she wasn’t prepared for. A source of a lot of that mercurial temper was Elvis himself, who is played here by Jacob Elordi. It’s a far less sympathetic portrayal than we saw from Austin Butler in Baz Luhrman’s 2022 biopic, but Elordi does capture something of Elvis’s dangerous charisma. More importantly, he and the phenomenal young actress Cailee Spaeny also show a believable bond between Priscilla and Elvis, one that makes it understandable why she stayed as long as she did. Grade: Three stars

Five Nights at Freddy’s (in theaters and on Peacock)

I don’t know if “Five Nights at Freddy’s” is a good movie, but I enjoyed watching it. The movie takes the complicated lore from the popular game series and ties it together into a mostly coherent plot, clearly written with a deep love for the games themselves. It’s full of Easter eggs for fans, and while non-fans might be baffled by certain

unanswered questions there’s also a surprisingly engaging story at the heart of all of it. There is blood spatter, and while I wouldn’t call it scary there’s just a little creepiness in all the right places. The story starts with a traumatized young man who is desperate for work as a security guard so he can take care of his orphaned sister. This leads him to Freddy’s, an old kids’ pizza place that has been closed for years due to its dark past. When he goes to work, he uncovers dark secrets and soon has to fight for not only his own life but those of the people he cares about most. If you’re not familiar with the games, the Freddy’s universe gives a dark backstory to animatronic figures clearly based off the old Chucky Cheesestyle performers. Neither the games or the movie explain why them being haunted makes them come alive, or the rules for their interaction, but beyond that the show is careful to sort out a lot of the series’ lore. It also has both some sweet moments and a few nice jump scares, treats for a wide range of the movie’s potential audience. Grade: Two and a half stars

ubrey Adams moved to Morgan when she was in third grade but lived in West Valley City before that. After graduating from Morgan High School, Adams attended Weber State University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in Social Studies Composite Teaching and a master’s degree from Western Governors University in Curriculum and Design. Adams began her teaching career six years ago, teaching seventh through ninth grades at Ascent Academy before teaching sixth grade for one year at Morgan Middle School. She taught seventh and eighth-grade social studies at Mountain Green Middle School for four years. While there, she was an intricate part of making HOPE Squad a success. Currently, Adams is in her first year teaching social studies at MHS. “I became a teacher because I love the youth and their fiery spirits,” said Adams. She said she also wants to be on the same schedule as her own children. “I love teaching because every day is different. I like getting to know my students and having them learn while making a connection with them,” Adams said.

Adams has been married for 17 years. After she was married, they lived in Riverdale and Farmington. “My husband is from Taylorsville, and after convincing him to move back to Morgan, we will never leave.” Adams has two kids; one attends MHS, and one attends MMS. In her spare time, she loves to travel, do puzzles, cook and bake. Adams has been to 10 different countries but says it is not enough and can not wait to add to that list.l

Morgan Volleyball reaches championship match for 10th straight year – brings home silver By Liisa London Mecham

or the past 10 years, Morgan has played in every 3A state championship game. Since 1987 when Coach Liz Wiscombe arrived in Morgan, there have been only nine years (1987, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013) that the Trojans have not competed for the championship in volleyball.* Many years (17) Morgan has brought home the gold, and other years, like this year, the Trojans returned home with a second-place trophy. “There’s no reason for anyone to hang their heads,” Coach Liz Wiscombe said, “We didn’t get the trophy we wanted, but these girls are champions in my book.” “The last week of practice before state, we had some of the best volleyball in our gym that I’ve ever seen,” she said. “These girls never backed down, they didn’t quit, and they played their hearts out. I’m proud of them.” After the final whistle blew at the end of five sets in the 3A 2023 State Championship Volleyball Game, Morgan was awarded their second-place trophy, and Emery received the firstplace prize, their second ever, with the other in 3A in 1996 (Morgan won the 2A title that year before moving up to 3A in 1997). Just as the Trojans and Spartans battled ferociously in ancient times, these two teams put on a volleyball extravaganza for their fans complete with kills, digs, and lengthy rallies. Ranked No. 1 (Emery) and No. 2 (Morgan) coming into the tournament, both teams demonstrated skill and determination as they fought for each point. In a match featuring five games that were determined by five-point differences or less, 20-25, 25-21, 23-25, 25-22, and 12-15, Morgan came up just short in the end. Wrapping up the season with a 25-7 record, a perfect 10-0 region record, and a 36th region title, the Trojans’ only loss in 3A this year was to the Spartans. Their other six losses were to teams in higher classifications. Since August the Trojans have played 98 sets, winning 75 and falling in 23. Entering the finals, the Morgan seniors were able to draw on their three previous years’ experience in the championship match. In the opening set, the lead changed six times with six ties between the two teams before Emery broke an 11-11 tie to go ahead and pull away 14-19. Morgan narrowed the gap to 19-20 ending with a Keira Brewer kill and two Liv Jaffa kills and a block. The Spartans rallied back to go up 1924 and eventually win 20-25.

In the second set, both teams came out swinging once again as they tied at 2, 3, 4, 7, and 9 before the Trojans yielded the lead on errors to go down 11-14 when a timeout was called. After the time out, Morgan rallied back to tie the game at 17 and then took the lead for the remainder of the game to win 25-21. With the sets tied 1-1, Game 3 proved to be another tight fight. Emery gained a six-point lead, 13-7 before Morgan tied the game at 13 and then took an 18-15 lead on a kill by Hadlee Goode. “Hadlee Goode came into the championship match at a critical juncture and got some critical blocks and added a kill,” Wiscombe said. Unfortunately, the Trojans couldn’t hold onto the lead and fell 23-25 in a battle for every point. Entering Game 4, Morgan was

down 1-2 and needed a win to keep their championship hopes alive. Game 4 included nine ties and the largest lead either team had was three points. After ties at 15, 16, 17, and 18, Emery went up 20-18. The Trojans dug deep and came back to score five consecutive points on a Jaffa kill, Gentry Criddle kill, Jaffa ace, and error by Emery to take a 23-20 lead. Criddle played a crucial role in the last points with a kill and a tip to keep Morgan alive with the 25-22 win. With the sets all even at 2-2, the fifth set was to decide the match. With only 15 points separating either team from the championship, both teams came out strong. Morgan jumped out to a 3-1 before Emery tied the game at 7-7. Morgan maintained the lead until another tie at 11-11 and went up 12-11 on a kill by Jaffa. Emery tied the game at 12-12, and the Trojans were unable to

stop them again, falling 12-15. Criddle finished the championship match with 18 kills while Liv Jaffa added 15 and Brewer 8. Liv Jaffa tallied 11 blocks with Hadlee Goode and Tori Smith each adding five blocks. Jerstyn Payne recorded 19 digs and Criddle 16. Emma Thurston had 22 assists, and Abby McKay added 17 assists and three blocks. Criddle received the serve 46 times, and Hadley Ovard 24. “This has been such a fun year, “ Wiscombe said. “I’ve loved spending time with these girls. There were so many lessons learned behind the scenes at state this year that proved the caliber of these girls and their parents.” “A friend of mine shared this quote with me after state. I think this pretty much sums it up. ‘Most think losing is failure, but little do these girls know that character is built by experience. They are being prepared for their future. What an incredible year!’” Morgan opened the tournament with a 3-0 victory over No. 15 Judge Memorial, 25-14, 25-14, 25-11. In the game, senior Kamryn Randall served four aces and 18 points while freshman Payne hit three aces and tallied 10 points. Criddle and senior Liv Jaffa each recorded 12 kills. Next up in the quarterfinals, Morgan faced off against Richfield, the team they beat in the 2022 title match. The Trojans made quick work of the No.10 seeded Wildcats, winning 25-20, 25-19, 25-14. Jaffa led again with 11 kills followed by Smith with nine, Criddle with seven, and Keira Brewer with six. Criddle scored 17 points serving with three aces, and Payne dug up 17 balls. Criddle notched 17 serve-receive passes, and Ovard had 16. In the semifinal game, the Trojans entertained a familiar foe in Region 13 opponent Union. The Cougars were the only team in the region to win a set against Morgan during the season, but the Trojans didn’t take any chances of not advancing to the finals and finished off Union 25-223, 25-19, 25-14. Criddle accumulated impressive stats with 10 kills, 27 serve receive, 13 digs, 11 service points, and two aces. Sophomore Josilyn Jaffa added two blocks while junior Emma Thurston served four aces and 10 points. Ovard went 11/11 on her serves for 100% for the match. *Since 1980, Liz Wiscombe has coached a team in 34 championship games, only missing 10 title matches in 2A/3A volleyball bringing home 22 state championships between Morgan and Delta in her 44 years of coaching. l

Trojans win their state quarterfinal over Union, 49-7 By Brian Shaw

ith a severely undermanned team in Union visiting Morgan County for Friday’s 3A state quarterfinal, the Trojans were able to showcase their depth. “I thought the game went well. Outside of too many penalties, we played great,” said head coach Jared Barlow of Morgan’s 49-7 win two weeks after the Trojans blasted Union 62-7 on Senior Night. “We were able to play a lot of kids and started subbing out starters in the 1st quarter.” Morgan [8-3], the 3-seed, scored two touchdowns within two minutes of each other in the first quarter to start the game with a bang. Zak Sargent surged in from 7 yards for a TD with 8:52 showing on the scoreboard clock. And with 6:18 to play in the first it was Drew Korth’s turn to punch in a 7-yard run after the Trojans’ defense forced a Union punt. The score was 14-0 Trojans after Beau Johnson connected on each of the PATs. On the next drive, pressure from Morgan’s front four forced Union’s quarterback into a throw that was tipped by Tate Nelson and intercepted by Zak Sargent. With the ball back in possession of the Trojans, Sargent was penalized for hurdling a Union player. A holding call moved the Trojans offense back to the Union 39. Facing a 3rd down and 30, Beck Sheffield lofted a pass that Lincoln Gilson caught in stride for a 39yard TD. The scoreboard read 21-0 for Morgan with 4:23 left in the first quarter after the PAT.

A few plays after Gilson added a leaping interception to his stat line, Zak Sargent caught a screen pass and ran 18 yards for his second touchdown of the first quarter, giving the Trojans a 28-0 lead. With a spot in the state semifinals in firm control, Coach Barlow did a credit check from that point on, aware that 2-seeded Manti lies ahead later

this week [Saturday] at Herriman’s Zions Bank Stadium. “We are excited to be able to represent Morgan for the 9th year in a row at the semifinals, where we play a solid Manti team,” said Coach Barlow. “Manti is a much-improved team from last year and we will need to play well in order to win.” Luck might play a role, too. After the Trojans’ next drive stalled near Union’s goal line, a field goal attempt from Beau Johnson bounced off the back of his long snapper into the arms of holder Tate Nelson who ran the live ball into the end zone for a TD. With the PAT, the Trojans led 35-0 with 9:55 remaining in the first half. The 28-man Union Cougars then pulled a rabbit out of their own helmet. It turned into a football that they threw instead of punting, fooling Morgan on this Halloween weekend. The visitors then got their only points of the game scoring on a 5-yard TD pass with 5:14 left before halftime. The Trojans added TDs in the second half, a 37yard pass from Cade Randall to Luke Wheeler in the third quarter and a 6-yard run from Drew Korth in the fourth. Junior Madden Bell kicked through the final point for Morgan, who’s now on a seven-game win streak. “We started the game about as well as you could and gave a lot of kids the opportunity to develop and get some varsity playing experience,” said Coach Barlow. l

OBITUARY

Michael Keith Munsee May 12, 1952 - Oct. 28, 2023

Michael Keith Munsee was born in Twin Falls, Idaho, on May 12, 1952, to Grace LaRee Grover and Glen Keith Munsee. He passed away peacefully in Ogden, Utah, on Oct. 28, 2023. Mike spent his early years learning the value of hard work as he worked alongside his dad on the family ranch. He spent many summers tending to sheep and cattle in the Idaho mountains and learned to speak fluent Spanish while working with fellow sheepherders. Mike graduated from Valley High School in 1970 and attended Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho. He had a brief marriage to Sheryl Westbrook. He later met and married Dixie Lee Eldredge in the Salt Lake City Temple on Jan. 11, 1979. They settled in Hagerman, Idaho, where he worked on a farming project in Bell Rapids, Idaho, with some of his closest friends until selling and moving to Utah in 1984. He started a restaurant business; one of his many entrepreneurial endeavors, before establishing his trucking company, MAG Transport. He eventually sold this business and established Rocky Mountain Truck Parts in 1999. He was a hard worker and enjoyed those he worked with and the many customers he met who frequented his business. He looked forward to his company Christmas party each year and fulfilled his dying wish of working until the very end. Mike enjoyed spending time with family and felt it important to teach his children the importance of work by including them in the family business. Memories were made on family road trips and trips to the sand dunes. He shared his love of music by taking family and friends to concerts to experience his favorite singers and bands. He was always looking for opportunities to serve those in need. Mike was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in several callings over the course of his life. Some of his greatest memories

were during the years he spent serving as a bishop. He is survived by his wife, Dixie; children, Ryan (Nancy) Merritt, Anica (Aaron) DeHart, Michelle (Ben) Hokanson, Nick (Lundi) Munsee and Matt (Lori) Munsee. Grandchildren, Kelsy, Emily, Izzy, Claire, Isaac, Grant, Jude, Mila, Naomi, Tucker, Charlotte, and Eliza. His sisters, Chris Hall and Susie Munsee; and his brother, Mark (Amy) Munsee.

Celebrity Profile

By Jay Bobbin TV Media

Christina Hendricks gained a lot of fame through her association with “Mad Men,” and now she has moved on to a group of freedom-mad women. The actress is among the stars of Apple TV+’s current series adaptation of “The Buccaneers,” streaming new episodes Wednesdays. Based on Edith Wharton’s final novel, it tells the saga of several young American women sent to England for a dose of culture in the 1870s … but instead, the spirited visitors show the British a thing or two, or more. Hendricks plays Mrs. St. George, the mother of two of the travelers (Kristine Froseth, Imogen Waterhouse); Alisha Boe, Josie Totah, Aubri Ibrag and Mia Threapleton portray the other rulebending “Buccaneers.” Despite its period setting, the drama uses modern music by such artists as Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo and Brandi Carlile. Hendricks’ father would likely approve of her participation in “The Buccaneers,” since he came from England — giving her both American and British citizenship. However, her roles have had a distinctly U.S. flavor, dating back to her early participation in a production of “Grease” in Twin Falls, Idaho (where she grew up). She continued stage work when her family moved to Fairfax, Virginia, where being in her high school’s drama department gave her comfort and a sense of belonging. After modeling in New York and overseas, Hendricks moved to Los Angeles and started auditioning for acting jobs. She landed many guest shots and a couple of brief series runs before the arrival of her watershed role, Joan Holloway in “Mad Men.” Hendricks earned much critical acclaim and several awards for playing an advertising agency’s office manager in the 1960s and early 1970s; her personal and professional growth mirrored that of many women of the era.

t’s been an eventful year here in Davis County with some highs and lows but hopefully the good outweighed the bad. The county has seen a lot of growth and even more is expected as people recognize what a great place it is. With that growth comes the need for new roads likew the West Davis Corridor as well as U.S. 89 improvements. Drivers have had to learn to adapt as they’re rerouted but the end result will be less congestion and easier access to where they’re headed. There are about 1,300 students in the Davis School District who are homeless or at-risk. The Davis Education Foundation has worked hard with community partners to open Teen Resource Centers in several high schools for those students to have a safe place to go and receive the help they need. The district also welcomed a new superintendent and appointed a director for the Office of Equal Opportunity. The newly renovated Memorial Courthouse opened to the public after a two year project to restore it to its original 1930s glory. There were some heartbreaking events too. A wildfire burned the Centerville hillside and an 8-year-old girl was killed in an accident during the Kaysville 4th of July parade. An intruder entered a Centerville home, assaulted the elderly homeowners and set it on fire. However, those tragedies brought out the good in Davis County residents who rallied around the families impacted and shared with them their love and support. That’s what makes the county unique. It’s filled with good people who just want to make life better for their family, friends and neighbors. It’s a new year – let’s make it a good one.

IT’S A WRAP 2022 in Davis County Intruder sets Centerville home on fire with owners in it

CENTERVILLE—A Centerville home went up in flames July 21 after a man entered the home and assaulted the homeowners then set the house on fire. Ammon Jacob Woodhead, 37, of Salt Lake City was arrested after he allegedly went into the home at 329 E. 1825 North in Centerville and threatened the three elderly adults living there that he was going to burn the house down with them in it. He poured gas around the house and then set it on fire. The homeowners were able to escape but suffered injuries from the assault.
