Morgan named fourth-best county for youngsters to get ahead By Linda Petersen
‘Oppenheimer’ upsets ‘Barbie’ at Golden Globes

n a new study, Morgan County has been identified as the fourth-best county in the nation where children have a shot at upward economic mobility. In the study, Wealth Enhancement Group, a national registered investment advisory firm used Harvard University's Social Capital Atlas, a platform that mines social network data to measure and analyze what is known as “social capital” (the networks of relationships among people who live and work in a particular society, enabling that society to function effectively). Economic mobility is defined as a person's ability to move themselves and their families up the socioeconomic ladder over their lifetime. “The research draws on a privacy-protected dataset representing 21 billion friendships from Facebook made public through its parent company Meta's Data for Good project,” Wealth Enhancement’s Dec. 20 blog says. “It also uses anonymous tax records, according to the authors. The scholars assigned a score to locales according to how economically connected low and high-income people living in the area have historically been over at least a decade, per that data.” According to the Social Capital Atlas, 64.6 percent of those who use Facebook in Morgan County are high-income. Statistics cited by Wealth Enhancement Group indicate that the median income of Morgan County residents is $112,721. The study claims that friendships between people of different socioeconomic backgrounds can benefit young people in unexpected ways. ‘Those connections may provide people with the motivation, opportuni-
In a surprising turn of events in the world of entertainment, Christopher Nolan’s biopic “Oppenheimer” upset Greta Gerwig’s sensation, “Barbie” bringing home five trophies to two. The success of the Mattel phenomenon was offset largely by “Poor Things”, starring Emma Stone. Still, Gerwig’s film managed to bring home awards for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, and Best Original Song in a Motion Picture. “Barbie” also held on to the top box office slot for 2023, grossing a total of $636,230,407 in ticket sales by the end of the year. Both “Barbie” and Oppenheimer” have been credited as a rejuvenating force for movie theaters in a post-pandemic world.

ties, and access to information that can help them improve their circumstances,” it says. “It turns out the ability to cultivate friendships linking people of different socioeconomic backgrounds with one another is the strongest factor in determining whether a child can surpass the earning potential of their parents, Harvard researchers found,” the blog says. “They call this economic connectedness. Economic connectedness is a form of social capital, which is the relationships that allow us to obtain resources and opportunities to gain advantages in life.” The study gave Morgan County residents a score of 1.29 in economic con-

MCSD opens Wellness Rooms at three schools By Ethan Hoffmann

or many high school students, it is common to feel stressed and overwhelmed. From managing family and friend relationships to work and extracurricular activities, life has many demands and is constantly throwing curveballs. Morgan High School (MHS) offers a Wellness Room to students for that very reason. According to Kylee Rock, the head of the project, the purpose of the Wellness Room is to “provide students with the opportunity to self-regulate: realizing that they are overwhelmed and stressed and need a break.” Their mission is to provide a safe place for students to get away from school and daily stress to relax and unwind. Rock has worked at Morgan High School for the last six years and she knows the ins and outs of the school. “Whenever a student is upset, frustrated, or stressed they either go to the counseling center or the bathroom,” Rock commented. “They might not want to talk to anyone at the moment, but they do know that they can't handle things for the time being. The Wellness Room gives them that opportunity.” Rock worked with Kimmalee Crookston, a member of Weber Human Services Prevention, to make the Wellness Room a reality. Crookston informed Rock that there was grant money available for schools to organize a Wellness Room. As a result, Rock and Crookston wrote a grant together and secured the funding needed. Once that was done, all they

Winter weather pounds US
After an unseasonably warm and dry holiday season, the United States is being pounded with winter weather, from coast to coast. Meteorologists and safety experts cautioned drivers from the East Coast to the Midwest to the West to take extra precautions during their commutes this week as heavy rain and snow were forecast in many different parts of the nation. Though dangerous, the precipitation has bolstered the underwhelming snowpack in the western US, and experts predict that there is only more on the way.
Stanley tumblers sweep the nation
Initially popular only in the Intermountain West, the Stanley brand tumbler has swept the nation causing shortages in many locations and online. The 40-ounce cup gained notoriety in recent months after one owner shared a video of the cup having survived a car fire, and the brand has only continued to gain steam. The meteoric rise in popularity, however, has spurred division on social media, separating people into three camps of thought: those who love the cup, those who are indifferent, and those who are vehemently against it.

had to do was find a place. Rock worked closely with administration to find the best location and they determined that the CTE classroom (Once used for storage and as a photo lab) was the most efficient way to use the extra space. The process itself is simple: students must inform their teacher before leaving class. Then they will receive a special hall pass that serves as a ticket into the Wellness Room.

they are free to go into the room and utilize a mindfulness tool. There are various services provided at the Wellness Room; music, peace and quiet, fidgets, puzzles, and sand art to name a few. As the sign “No cellphone use please” suggests, technology usage is strongly discouraged while using the Wellness Room. Students are asked to leave their belongings outside the room and phone

Former president Donald Trump returned to court this week to argue that he should be immune from prosecution for the events on Jan. 6 due to his having been the president. The three judges presiding over the hearing expressed doubt about this claim, saying that it was “paradoxical” for a former president to cite the Constitution to justify the violation of laws. Trump is currently still the frontrunner in the Republican polls in the 2024 race against the current president, Joe Biden. Despite positive polling numbers, the former president will also have to contend against states like Colorado, which have removed his name from the ballot.

Morgan Swim Team continues to make waves
By Liisa London Mecham
I
t’s midseason for the Morgan High Swim team! They just returned from a trip to Moab where they competed on Friday, Jan. 5, and Saturday, Jan. 6. The next Wednesday, January 10, they competed against North Summit and held their Senior Night. Each meet they are looking to continue shaving seconds off their times as they prepare for Region on Feb. 1, 2024, in Heber City and the 3A State Swimming Championships at BYU Feb. 16-17. For the past eight years, Morgan High’s swimmers, coaches, and parents have traveled miles daily to make the swim team viable at a school in a town that doesn’t have a pool. The sacrifices required to participate on the swim team include leaving the high school at 4:15 pm daily to travel to Coalville to practice at the North Summit pool. Morgan never has home meets. Every meet is an away meet, even the past week when they swam in their practice pool, they were the visiting team, with North Summit hosting the event. But the Trojans’ intrepid swimmers continue to deal with the logistical challenges to participate and excel in the sport they love. Twenty-six students comprise the swim team this year. Led by third-year coach Kerrie Gordon, the team is competing well in the region and state meets and improving their personal records (PR) at almost every meet. Jared Noorda, team meet coordinator and statistician, shared that most of the swimmers have already individually had five PRs this year! One swimmer has shaved over a 1:39 off her initial time. Hours of swimming are paying off big dividends for the swimmers.
Although this year’s team is smaller than some teams in the past that have had over 50 swimmers, there are several swimmers who can compete against the best in the state Lizzy Bess is a junior swimmer who is ranked in the top 100 swimmers in the state in seven of the eight events. Bess and senior Brielle Sill have been trading school records in the 100 Breaststroke, for the past year. Sill is currently holding the record, having broken Bess’ record last year. Sill is ranked in the top 100 in the state in all eight events. Another female swimmer with top times on the team is sophomore Tessa Smith. She is the fastest backstroker and excels in freestyle On the boys’ team, sophomore Connelly Breinholt, a sprinter, is one of only four swimmers in MHS history to swim the 50 Freestyle race in under 25 seconds. He has a bright future for the Trojans and looks to compete well at Region and State. Junior Gerrit Noorda is a distance specialist. He is the school 500 freestyle record holder with a time of 5:38.28 and is two seconds away from breaking the school record for the 200 freestyle. He is also ranked in the Top 100 in the state in all eight events. Senior Connor Smith is working to break the school 200 IM (Individual Medley-butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle) record and is the fastest 100 backstroker on the team. “We consistently take 20 kids to state,” Noorda shared. “We have 12 or so kids who will qualify and compete in individual events, and other swimmers who are on our relays. It’s hard to compete against Ogden and Union in our region for depth; we just don’t have the numbers.” The Morgan Swim Team traveled to Moab last weekend for two meets, one

Friday and one Saturday. The opponents were Grand County, Gunnison Valley, and Hurricane High Schools. Noorda shared that 18 PRs were reached by swimmers in the Friday meet. He reported on the success of several swimmers. Lizzy Bess won the 200 yd freestyle event and dropped 8 seconds off her time. Connelly Breinholt dropped 14 seconds off his 200 yd freestyle time, and he won the 100 yd freestyle event with a 56.04 second time. Bess, Brooke Williford, Brielle Sill, and Tessa Smith won the 200-yard freestyle relay event. Daxin Witte dropped 8 seconds off
Drew Korth places 6th at Reno Tournament of Champions By Liisa London Mecham

he Morgan grapplers have been busy building their skills as they continue to compete against top competition to prepare them for the divisional and state tournaments. Coach Kelly Wilson reports that his team has been struggling with injuries and illness, but he is hopeful his wrestlers will soon be healthy and able to compete at the level they will need against tough region competition like South Summit and the top-ranked 3A team in the state, Juab. Both will wrestle Morgan, along with Wasatch, in the coming weeks to test the Trojans as they prepare to do battle in the end-of-season tournaments. At the Richardson Memorial Tournament last weekend in Tremonton, Morgan, still down starting wrestlers due to injury and illness, placed four wrestlers on the podium. Zak Sargent (190) advanced to the championship bout with three victories by fall. His longest match was 4:29 with the other two pins coming in the first period (1:18, 1:31). In the finals, Sargent wrestled a tough match against Olympus’ Andre Leota, losing by decision 8-4, to finish second. Luke Woolsey, who Coach Wilson is happy to see back in the lineup after recovering from a knee injury, placed fourth in his first tournament back on the mat. Woolsey (132) fell in the semifinals to Star Valley’s Tel Parry, won his next match, and then placed fourth after a close match in the Consolation Finals. At 144 pounds, Sim Wardell fell in the second round and then won five consecutive consolation matches to qualify for the 3rd Place Match. Wardell fought South Summit’s Brandon Mora to a 0-0 tie at the end of three periods before falling 2-0 in a sudden victory to place fourth. Krew Galbraith (175) suffered a quarterfinal loss by fall (3:11), but he rebounded to win his next two matches in the consolation bracket and then placed sixth. Coach Wilson noted, “Richardson Memorial is a tough tournament. We placed four, even though it would have been nice to see more of our guys on the podium. We’re still wrestling short with Drew and Ryler out with elbow injuries sustained in Reno, and other illnesses traveling through the team.” “The guys battled hard!” he explained. “It’s been hard to have so many

kids out sick. We had 20 people out sick the night we wrestled Union in Morgan.” “The Richardson Memorial showed us how tough South Summit is this year,” he commented. The Wildcats took second to 6A Westgate in the tournament. Wilson continued, “We are hosting Juab on Jan. 24 and traveling to South Summit the next night. It would be great to see everyone healthy.” Morgan looks to retain its Region 13 title with wins over South Summit and Grantsville. The Trojans overpowered Ben Lomond 81-0 and Odgen 84-0 on January 3 in a tri-dual. They wrestled Grantsville in Grantsville Jan. 11 and will compete at the Rumble this weekend. The final home matches for the year will be Jan. 17 against Wasatch and Jan. 24 against Juab. Come out and see some great wrestling as the Trojans take on these two powerhouse, state contenders.

Girls hoops end slide with a 44-18 win over Stansbury By Brian Shaw
T
o say this season has been a struggle would be an understatement for Morgan’s girls’ basketball team. Morgan is now done with its preseason slate of games, having finished it with a 2-10 record. Three days after a resounding 4418 win over 4A Stansbury on Dec. 15, the Trojans took 6A American Fork to the brink on Dec. 18 before losing by the final score of 48-55. After the team took a break during the holidays, they resumed play on Jan. 4 at 6A Skyridge. The Trojans led through three quarters before falling 37-48. When Morgan resumed play after
the holidays, the Trojans had a tough task ahead at 6A Skyridge. But the Trojans had a 7-4 lead after one quarter, led by five points at the break by the score of 21-16, and still led 3329 after three periods. It took a 19-4 fourth quarter by Skyridge to avoid the Trojans’ upset bid, which was led by Titus, who had 11 points for Morgan. Eva Birkeland and Noss each scored eight. Still and all, a record of one win and three losses during arguably the most difficult stretch of the season isn’t bad for a Morgan team that is breaking in several new starters at key positions. What’s ironic about Morgan’s improved play was that the Trojans near-
ly broke what turned out to be a twogame skid at Fremont back on Dec. 12. Morgan may have lost that battle to Fremont by the final score of 4648, but the reigning 3A champions gave the 6A semifinalists everything they could handle in an all-out war. Titus and Leah Birkeland each scored 11 points to pace Morgan, while Kaydence Wardell pitched in nine and Eva Birkeland seven for the Trojans. When Morgan head coach Sterling Mack said he wanted to “play like some of the great UNLV run-and-gun teams” this season, it appears the lessons Mack has been teaching his Trojans this preseason might be sinking in. In Morgan’s win [44-18] over
Stansbury, their second, the Trojans had 18 points from junior Eva Birkeland, her second-best outing of the season. Morgan rode a 13-0 first quarter into the locker room with a 19-8 halftime lead. Junior Alexis Burt chipped in five points, while Abby Titus, Keira Brewer, and Leah Birkeland each scored four in the win that saw the Trojans extend their lead to 23 points at 37-14 by the end of the third quarter. The win was Morgan’s first since Dec. 2’s 58-18 drubbing of Timpanogos during the Morgan Winter Classic. The Trojans will start region play this week with a game at Ogden Jan. 9 before coming home to face Grantsville on Jan. 11. l
Better three-point shooting efficiency, rebounding key to Morgan boys basketball’s 3-game win streak By Brian Shaw
A
few days after a 13-point loss to Bear River at home Dec. 15 dropped the Trojans to 2-7 under new head coach Scott Hunt, they needed some luck to start going their way. Whatever the magic formula was that transformed Morgan into a juggernaut over the next three games worked. The Trojans were barely three days clear of that loss to Bear River when they knocked down 32 shots in a 7745 pasting of 5A Granger Dec. 18. Six players knocked down at least one three-point shot in the win. Morgan [5-7] continued draining
threes a night later on Dec. 19 in an 83-57 annihilation of 2A’s APA West Valley. On that night also at home inside Morgan’s gymnasium, Kolton Asay drilled seven threes [25 points]. The formula was very similar to the game before it: the Trojans had six players knock down their shots from behind the arc. Even a lengthy holiday break of 14 days wouldn’t quell the Trojans ability to hit three-point shots--Asay pumped home five more—as Morgan rolled to its third straight, a 74-59 win over 3A’s Summit Academy Jan. 3.

mit Academy, but they were also rebounding their missed shots [33] at a very high rate. For the season, Bracken Saunders [17.6 points per game] has been the team’s leading scorer in most of the Trojans’ games. Kolton Asay [12.8 ppg] has been coming on of late thanks to several recent impressive scoring outings. But the secret behind this 3-game win streak under new head coach Scott Hunt might be in the Trojans’ ability as a team to take threes, make threes, and rebound missed threes. Six other Morgan players average between three and six points per game—largely from three-point shots

they’re making or putbacks from offensive rebounds. A total of nine of Morgan’s players average at least a rebound or more per game, led by Mason Williams who’s come on as of late and has had five or more rebounds over each of his last eight games. Nikolas Preece and Saunders are each averaging four boards for the Trojans. It’s that tenacity behind the arc and around the rim that might give these Trojans a fighting chance in region play when it begins this week on January 10 at home versus Ogden and continues at Grantsville on Jan. 12. l

Looking back at the holidays: Festivities at the Family Tree Assisted Living of Morgan By Olivia Rees
M
uch to the delight of all those involved, a full holiday schedule was planned for the residents of Family Tree Assisted Living of Morgan during the month of December. Family Tree started the festive season off with a bang hosting a resident and family Christmas party. One of their favorite music groups, 'Stampede,'' came and performed a music program followed by a jolly visit from Santa Claus. With refreshments of hot cocoa and donuts, this activity has been done for the past several years with the residents and their families alike relishing it. Of that joyous celebration, Family Tree shared in a social media post, “This week, we celebrated our annual Christmas party, and what a magical day it was! Our lovely residents, their wonderful families, and our dedicated staff came together to create unforgettable memories. The lobby was transformed into a winter wonderland, complete with twinkling lights and a beautifully adorned Christmas tree that reached towards the heavens.
Page 4 | January 12, 2024
The highlight of the day was when our residents and their families gathered together. It was a heartwarming sight to see generations come together, sharing love and happiness.” While the party was a big, preplanned event, several smaller-scale things happened throughout the month due to the benevolence of the community who wanted to help residents enjoy even more of that holiday spirit. Several reached out to Family Tree wanting to come in and visit, perform, and service. “Our Director Tawnia Lunt had scheduled and organized some amazing programs,” said Stacie House. “We had so many from the community that wanted to come and Christmas carol, play games or just come in and visit with the residents.” House, who has been working at Family Tree for 14 years and loving it, initially started as a CNA before advancing to the Resident Care Coordinator and current position as the new Administrator for Family Tree. Through that experience, House has had the opportunity to observe and participate in the holiday season celebrations over the years and develop meaningful relationships. “The
connections and friendships we have made with our residents and their families over the years are priceless; they will always hold a special place in our hearts.” Last year, Family Tree did a Christmas-giving tree organized by the amazing office manager, Brenda Heiner. It was such a huge success that it was repeated this year. The staff went around and asked the residents for two things: what they needed for Christmas and a wish. Examples of things they needed were everyday items such as slippers, a coat, a sweater, or even an extra pillow. The wishes were “really quite fun” as House said. Some items requested included a case of whoppers, OJ, and a stocking cap. “It's amazing how the word got out that we were doing this and the people that showed up to grab a name off our tree were absolutely amazing, the names went so fast people wanted to know what else they could do we decided to do another round so the staff put more tags together of what the residents needed, and again the community were here getting more tags off the tree. Some families brought in blankets that they had made for each resident. Rice bags were also
made for every resident along with a lot of other amazing things. The outpour of love and holiday cheer brought into our building was greatly appreciated by all,” enthused House. Of the holidays, a resident commented, “I enjoyed the month of December. We had a lot of activities to do. I got a good feeling from all the concerts and performances.” The celebrations and activities filled the assisted living center with light, laughter, and new life. One resident shared how when you are alone, “you start thinking back to when your kids were there. I miss that but yet had a lot of them come visit with me and it made me feel a part of it.” All around, December was a month at the Family Tree filled with love, holiday cheer, and giving. Family Tree concisely surmised, “At Family Tree Assisted Living, we’re not just a community; we’re a family. This week's celebration was a beautiful reminder of the bonds we share and the joy we bring to each other’s lives.”l

he purpose of the Wellness Room at Mountain Green Middle School is to calm yourself if you need a break. They only allow three students at a time. First, students check in with Mrs. Berkholder or Mrs. Mellor. They will ask how the student is feeling at that moment They will show them a scale that has a temperature scale that goes from one to five. They will also show them a page where there are different faces of emotions and you would choose one. They will hand the stu-

chargers are provided for personal devices. Rock emphasized that “the wellness room is supervised. There is always a member of the staff present. It is not a place to hang out and it is not intended for hiding or sluffing a class. It has a specific purpose.” Students are permitted only fifteen minutes in the Wellness Room to destress and decompress before returning to class. Once students are ready to learn, they will need to make up for lost time and homework but assistance from the teacher will be given like usual. The concept of a Wellness Room has been around for quite some time. They originated in colleges and have begun to work their way down into high schools, middle schools, and even elementary schools. MHS follows the program "Brain Tree Wellness'' which offers software that allows students to check in, tell the counselors how they're feeling, and utilize the room. According to their website (featured below), “the Wellness Room

system is based on physiology and neuroscience. We model and teach students to recognize how their stress response system works. We teach coping skills to use to self-regulate and soothe their nervous system.” The Wellness Room has had a very positive impact so far. Statistics show that there is a 95% increase in attitude from when students enter the room to when they leave. In most cases, they go from being stressed and anxious to calm and relaxed. The Wellness Room is part of the MHS Connection Center which also provides a food pantry, hygiene kits, showers, study rooms, mental health services, clothing, laundry services, and more. In addition, there are wellness centers in both middle schools. The goal is to establish them in the elementary schools as well. If you are interested in using the Wellness Room, it is located behind the counseling center (Two doors down) near the computer labs.

he purpose of the Wellness room at Morgan Middle School (MMS) is to help students learn to self-regulate. “If they are struggling with stress, anxiety, unable to focus or anything that prevents them from doing their work, they come to the room to take a break and regulate themselves so they can return to class more focused,” said school counselor Kandi Christiansen. The room is located in the counseling center. While the counselors oversee it, Hannah Rees runs it for them. After students check in with
Zions Bank economist gives 2024 outlook By Brice Wallace
T
he economic forecasting season has begun, and Robert Spendlove has thrown out the first pitch. At the recent Zions Bank 2024 economic outlook event, the bank’s senior economist pegged the chances of a national recession this year at 50-50 but added that Utah likely would get through it OK. “I’ll tell you that that has been the thing that has gotten a lot of economists scratching their heads, because we all thought it was going to happen in 2023 and it didn’t happen,” Spendlove said at the event, held at the Zions Technology Center in Midvale. “I still think there’s about a 50 percent chance. A few months ago, six months ago, It was at closer to 65, 70 percent, so I do think that probability of recession has gone down, but there still are some of those factors that could tip the U.S. into a recession nationally. I think locally we are part of the national economy so we are exposed to that risk, but I think we’re well-positioned and if we do go into a recession, I think we’re in a good position.” Utah has been in a “good position” for several years now. Spendlove cited some U.S. News & World Report rankings showing Utah as the best state overall, topics in fiscal stability and the economy. Its population continues to grow, fueled by in-migration. It’s second among states with positive job growth since before the COVID pandemic, and its unemployment rate of 2.8 percent remains low. Utah also has seen its labor participation rate increase. However, housing affordability remains a bugaboo. UtahNEWS home prices MORGAN COUNTY
relative to household income sits at 6.2 but should be about 3, he said. “What this is saying is, housing is too unaffordable in Utah,” Spendlove said. “Housing is very difficult, especially for low-income, especially for young families, people trying to get in. And how do you fix that? You essentially need to dramatically drop house prices, you need to dramatically increase income or you need to start thinking outside the box of what housing looks like. What we’re going to see is more multi-generational households, more multifamily households, and we’re going to have to start talking very seriously about thinking of different ways of what housing looks like in our communities.” Prefacing Spendlove’s presentation, Scott Anderson, Zions Bank’s president and CEO, likewise had an overall positive outlook for Utah’s economy this year. “As we head into 2024, our Utah economy remains strong and resilient,” Anderson said. “We continue to benefit from strong population growth and net in-migration, low unemployment and solid job growth. I’m confident that what we’ll see here in Utah will be a strong economy this year and that we’ll continue to thrive, even though other parts of the world and other parts of the U.S. economy may suffer a bit.” Most of Spendlove’s remarks focused on the national economy, which he said is still being distorted by the effects of the COVID pandemic. That is leading to a lot of economic uncertainty for 2024, just as it affected 2023. Last year, experts expected the economy to slow or contract, with a drop in GDP and employment demand. “We saw a little bit of that, but the

Once the timer goes off, they will check out by picking the emotion they are currently feeling and head back to class. “We have noticed good things with students that have used it,” said Christiansen. “We feel the students are recognizing when they need a break and help them regulate their emotions so they can refocus and work in school.” Art teacher at MMS, Sheila Winterbottom, painted the large mural on the wall in the Wellness Room. l

economy ended up being very resilient and very strong,” he said. “We saw inflation has been coming down, employment has been improving, but people are still grumpy. That is one of the things that I hear all the time, is people say, ‘Well, you know, yes, things may be a little bit better, but they’re not the way they should be and they’re not the way they were before.’” GDP in the third quarter actually jumped, with 4.9 percent growth, but Spendlove told the audience that that is not an accurate reflection of what is happening in the economy. “I don’t think any of you think that the economy dramatically accelerated in the third quarter, but it’s some of those distortions from the pandemic that we have to be really careful about,” he said. “However, it’s very clear that we didn’t contract. In the third quarter, we didn’t contract in 2023, and this is a sign that the economy is much more resilient than we had expected in 2023.” Still, the economy could enter a recession in the second or third quarters this year, but he believes it would be relatively mild “and we’ll move through pretty quickly.” The big question is whether any “black swan” events – huge, upsetting surprises – would shock the system and amplify volatility. Nonetheless, consumer spending, which accounts for two-thirds of the economy, remains strong. Consumers “are all grumpy but you’re still spending,” he said. “That has been another one of the big surprises, is even with consumers being grumpy – you all went out and bought your Black Friday gifts and you all went out and got holiday pres-
ents for everyone and it kept the economy going – but you still are grouchy.” Spendlove foresees Federal Reserve interest rate cuts this year, inflation continuing to slow but remaining “sticky,” the labor market growing, unemployment increasing, the economy slowing but remaining broadly resilient, and international uncertainty and elections possibly adding to volatility. Anderson likened the past three years to a roller coaster ride but added that the national economy in 2023 transitioned toward pre-pandemic norms. The Fed raised interest rates and tightened monetary policy, but the economy avoided a recession and remained resilient, he said. The Fed now figures to lower rates, with the first reduction as early as the second quarter. “And why would they do this? I believe that they looked at inflation and they saw that it had dropped dramatically from mid-2022 and where it fell from a 40-year high of more than 9 percent in June of 2022 to about 3 percent in November of 2023. But with food and energy prices coming down, getting to the Fed’s target of a 2 percent annual inflation rate could take some time. We’re not there yet.” Higher interest rates and housing inflation colored consumer opinions about the economy in 2023, but recent consumer surveys have found that people are feeling more optimistic about 2024, he said. “And this is important,” Anderson said, “as consumer sentiments can drive behaviors like spending and investments, often acting as a self-fulfilling prophecy.”l

The dismal state of college by the numbers By Braden Nelsen DAVIS COUNTY—It’s a common sentiment – “if only younger generations would just pull themselves up by their bootstraps, and do some hard work, they wouldn’t have to go into debt for college,” but is it accurate? The statement, which infuriates younger generations, and gratifies older generations can easily be explained by looking at the numbers. Many saying things like this went to college during the mid-to-late 1970s and 1980s. The data in this article is collected from the median year of 1975 and uses the federal income tax rate from that year. A hypothetical situation: a person graduates from high school in June of 1975. This person is still living at home with their parents and wants to go to college. So, this person finds a minimum wage job, which, in 1975, pays $1.35 an hour. If they work the usual 30 hours a week and have a bi-weekly pay period, after taxes they would be taking home somewhere around $70 per pay period, or around $490 for the whole summer. Thank goodness they didn’t take any vacations or sick days though, because tuition and fees for a four-year public institution were hovering right around $432. It was tough, and they had to make some sacrifices, but, working part time at a minimum-wage job, a person in 1975 would certainly have been able to make tuition, especially if they were living at home, not paying for food or rent. Ah, but, what if those numbers are adjusted for inflation? A dollar doesn’t go as far today as it did back then, after all. Adjusted for 2023, the minimum wage would land around $7.72, not too far off from the current minimum
wage. This would mean a person working all summer with no breaks would earn around $2,803.28, not too shabby, considering the adjusted inflation rate for tuition and fees would be around $2,471.47. Seems like it would be extremely doable for a young person in 2023 to pay for college by themselves, right? If only. The actual numbers reflect a much more dismal situation for young people going to college, especially for Gen-Z. At the actual minimum wage of $7.25, the end-of-summer take-home pay would be around $2,740.50. Not off to a great start, but still above the inflation-adjusted tuition, right? Unfortunately, the reality is a far cry, with local, in-state tuition coming in at a whopping $9,400 for a four-year university. Looking around the state, other tuitions still fall well outside the range of simple inflation, coming in around the neighborhood of anywhere from $5,000$7,000. This has obliged many in younger generations to seek out student loans, which, in recent years, have become increasingly more and more predatory, and, unlike other financial obligations, are not forgiven with the declaration of bankruptcy. The solution to this problem is no easy fix. There are many factors that have contributed to the meteoric rise in tuition, as compared with the tepid increase in minimum wage. One of the best solutions, and certainly most long-lasting would be empathy across the generations: the younger generation understanding that at one time, it was possible to pay for college with a summer job, and the older generation, many of whom are policymakers, understanding that is no longer the case.

Vehicle fire prompts brief closure of I-84 From Morgan County Fire and EMS Facebook On the afternoon of Thursday Jan. 4, Morgan & Mountain Green Firefighters responded to a semi fire at the westbound rest area. It was reported that a blown tire caused the fire which then started to impede on the tanker trailer. The trailer was loaded with approximately 7,400 gallons of butane. Out of an abundance of caution, UHP troopers shut down both East and Westbound lanes of I-84 while firefighters operated. I-84 was closed and re-routed for a brief period of time. Morgan Fire Crews responded with an engine and helped supply Mountain Green Firefighters with water as well as aided in air and heat monitoring on the semi-trailer. There was no compromise of the butane trailer. All of the product will be offloaded to a new trailer as a precaution. “As always, huge thanks to our re-

organ City will now allow a specific type of apartment in residential and agricultural zones in the city to comply with new state laws. These apartments, known as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU), fall into three categories; internal, attached, and detached. All three types must include a kitchen, bath facilities, sleeping quarters, and an entryway to the outside and have a permanent foundation. They must be approved through the city’s process (including fees to be paid) and will only be allowed on lots of 6,000 square feet or greater. Internal ADUs must be part of the existing footprint of the home; attached garages are considered part of that footprint. Attached ADUs must be constructed directly or added as a part of the existing home. They must be fully enclosed including any connection to the primary structure. They are not permitted in a mobile home. Detached ADUs may be standalone or over detached garages but are not allowed on flag lots. Property owners must live on-site in the main or secondary dwelling and must obtain a business permit to rent out the apartment which can be rented by no more than one family. The units cannot be sold separately or subdivided from
the main home or the lot. Utilities must be shared and separate utility meters are not allowed. The city will give the units a separate address (probably an A, B, or C designation on the primary address) but occupiers of the unit will need to have their mail delivered to a post office box. None of the provisions of the new ordinance allow for motorhomes, fifthwheels, travel trailers, or other “housing units on wheels.” “This will be a new ordinance for Morgan City,” City Planner Jake Young told the city council at their Dec. 12 meeting, “and it's something that we have had some residents come and ask us about. We've had requests for it – not a lot but quite a bit. This ordinance will provide further options for housing and something to think about is does it assist with housing affordability?” “An ADU probably would rent for cheaper than a townhome or an entire home,” he said later. “So it does help with affordability on renting. It also helps with affordability for those who need it to get into a home and get going with having their own home.” This change is being mandated by the state legislature which is seeking to provide more affordable housing options for Utahns. The planning commission and city council have been working for about a year on this new ordinance which became effective Dec. 12. l

How I am Inspired by America America is full of inspiring people and places. But what inspires me the most are the principles America stands for. Here are three of my favorites. The first principle that inspires me is freedom. Freedom means the power or right to act, speak, or think without restraint. Because of this principle, I am able to go to church where I want and worship how I want. Because I am free, I can say what I want and express my feelings. I can gather with my friends and my family wherever and whenever I like, and I can become whatever I want to become. The second principle that inspires me is bravery. The meaning of bravery is courageous behavior or character. In America’s history, there have been lots of people who have showed great bravery. To me, the most brave and courageous people were the soldiers and volunteers that served in World War II. This totaled more than 16 million people. These people were brave enough to serve our country without knowing what would happen. They faced the horror of war and didn’t back down. These men and women inspire me to be brave in my life. Even though I don’t have to go to war with another country, there are times in my life where I need courage. Sometimes it (is) the courage to say no when I think something is wrong. Other times, it is the courage to be a friend to someone in need. The third principle that inspires me is virtue. Another word for virtue is goodness, or righteousness. Throughout history, America has been an example of the good guy. America has defeated bad guys and gifted people up around the world and at home. One particular example is when Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves which resulted in the liberty of nearly 4 million people. This was the right thing (to) do. Because of this, I am inspired to do good things and to help other people in my life. I am grateful that I live in this beautiful country with principles that inspire me to become a better person and make the world a better place. McKenna Burb

ENROLLMENT OF MEMBERS NOW ON
Governor Dern says: “On several occasions, the State of Utah has found it necessary to appeal to the American Red Cross for assistance in relieving want and suffering within its boundaries. Never has this great organization failed to respond promptly and cheerfully. Its representatives have worked unceasingly to alleviate the distress which they have found.” “Between Armistice Day and Thanksgiving of this year, the Red Cross will conduct its annual enrollment of members. The expenditures during the past fiscal year have exceeded revenues by nearly $3,000,000 and a hearty response to the membership campaign is needed as never before. I hope that the citizens of Utah will not hesitate to give as generously as possible to this great cause.”
This is the concept of fundamental freedoms and rights that are woven into the very fabric of the United States. Yet, in this modern age, it has become increasingly crucial to know whether these rights will allow us to remain at peace or if we are facing challenges that demand our attention. Our democracy has many substantial attributes, but we as a nation are not taking the necessary steps to fulfill them. One main issue that we face in today’s society, that should have been solved decades ago, is allowing all persons their rights. We are all “humans.” However, not all humans are being respected or have fundamental freedoms like gender inequality and racial bias. This is due to the lack of action the democracy is taking. But, we the people have the potential to change that. Democracy has the ability to promote political participation, protect human rights, and ensure accountability, while also being able to adapt to the changes in society. It stands as a beacon of hope for the future. Democracy’s potential to create and manage peace lies in its emphasis on dialogue, negotiation, and the rule of law to solve disputes. Our democracy is a dynamic and powerful system of government with immense potential. It thrives on political participation, protects human rights, demands accountability, and adapts to the evolving needs of society. In this complex world, the principles of democracy can guide us toward a brighter future. The potential of our democracy lies not only in the principles it needs to uphold but also in its ability to inspire positive change and progress. As we begin to face challenges in the future, our democracy could remain a source of hope, offering a path towards a more just and peaceful world. Although our democracy has the ability to be great, the reality of where our government and we as a nation stand today is much different than how we might imagine it in our minds. Fundamental freedoms are basic political liberties required in a democracy. While the United States may be known for its commitment to fundamental freedoms and rights, there have been historical instances where American citizens have faced challenges in exercising these rights. The Civil Rights Movement, the Japanese American Internment, LTBTQ+ Rights, Voter Suppression, Freedom of the Press, and Indigenous Rights, to name a few. In every one of these events, American Citizens were discriminated against and/or stripped of their rights. It’s important to note that the U.S. legal system and society have evolved over time to address many of these issues, but challenges persist in ensuring the full realization of fundamental freedoms and rights for all citizens. The First Amendment, written on the Bill of Rights, allows any individual their rights to freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition. The First Amendment is neither “left or right.” It can be used to push for social and political change or to oppose change. The First Amendment is for everyone. In general, this allows an individual to act, think, or do without government interference. Our government is not the same as it was when our Founding Fathers first established the Constitution. Today, many Americans, especially people of different cultures, races, sexualities, gender, ethnicities, and religions, are not experiencing these “freedoms” or “rights.” We must tell ourselves, are we holding the government and ourselves responsible for the breaking of the rules established so long ago? Can we even fix what we have already done? Should we stay comfortably where we are or take a step forward and create a better future for everyone? It is our collective responsibility to ensure that our democracy remains strong, vibrant, and responsive to the needs of our society. How can we do that when people aren’t being given the rights they deserve? Democracies thrive when citizens participate. To enhance our democracy we must expand our rights to everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances. Our democracy is a living institution, and it requires our constant vigilance and effort to improve and strengthen it. We must work together to create inclusivity and accountability in our society. Only through a collective effort can we fulfill the promise of fundamental freedoms and rights for every American, and in doing so, continue to strengthen the ideals on which our great nation was founded. Thank you.

Hollywood Q&A

Q: When is “Stranger Things” coming back? I feel like we’ve been waiting forever. A: I don’t want to dismiss your feelings of longing, but by “Stranger Things” standards, we actually haven’t been waiting that long. The fourth season debuted in July 2022 — just over a year and a half ago. Whereas the break between the third and fourth seasons, for example, lasted
nearly three years. And the gap between the second and third was nearly two. Sadly, it seems that history will repeat itself. The fifth reportedly just started shooting this month, and it’s not expected to debut until sometime in 2025. Assuming another summer release date, the wait between the fourth and fifth seasons will be three years again. The delay has a lot to do with the scale of the upcoming season, which will also be the show’s last one.

Celebrity Profile
By Jay Bobbin TV Media
Never count out Jason Priestley — as an actor, a director or both. The “Beverly Hills, 90210” alumnus tends to resurface in series television when it’s not expected, and he’s doing that again in the new show “Wild Cards,” airing Wednesdays on the CW. He plays the incarcerated veteran-con-artist father of another swindler (Vanessa Morgan, “Riverdale”) who has teamed with a disgraced police detective (Giacomo Giannotti, “Grey’s Anatomy”) to merge their special talents for crime-solving. Priestley’s character is concerned about his daughter’s new arrangement, but that doesn’t keep him from giving her advice and help from behind prison bars when she needs it. The new role lets Priestley incorporate the wry humor for which he’s been known ever since he played Brandon Walsh in “90210,” with that role allowing him to combine an earnestness with a mildly sarcastic take on the world. The part gave Priestley a decade-long run (19902000), before he played a variation of himself in “BH90210,” which had a brief run in the summer of 2019 and also featured the other principal members of the original cast in spins on their real-life images. In Priestley’s case, his “BH90210” doppelganger was also a director, and that’s a job he started doing during his original “90210” days, ultimately helming 15 episodes of that show. He went on to direct installments of “Call Me Fitz,” “Private Eyes” and “Raising Expectations,” in which he also starred. Additionally, he called the shots in stints on such series as “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” “Haven,” “The Night Shift,” “Rookie Blue,” “Saving Hope” and “Van Helsing.”
