🌅 Good morning!

Shortly before her third and final performance as narrator for the Tabernacle Choir’s 2023 Christmas concert, Lesley Nicol lost “a large chunk” of her tooth.

But the actor, well known for her role as the “Downton Abbey” cook, Mrs. Patmore, quickly realized there was no need to panic.

She was surrounded by high-quality musicians, but the volunteerism aspect of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square meant that many of the singers had full-time jobs outside of music — which, for Nicol, really came in handy on this Saturday night.

It’s been a year since Nicol and Broadway star Michael Maliakel took part in the choir’s annual Christmas concert over three nights at the 21,000-seat Conference Center in Salt Lake City. Now, the recording from the concerts is airing for an even wider audience in the coming weeks, beginning with its PBS premiere Tuesday night and a showing on BYUtv Thursday evening.

Read more about what Maliakel and Nicol told music reporter Lottie Johnson about performing with the Tabernacle Choir.

Poll shows trust in state election officials increase among Utah GOP

Nearly 9 out of 10 Utah Republican voters trust that state election officials conducted the 2024 general election fairly and accurately compared to 7 out of 10 Utah Democrats, according to a new Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll conducted by HarrisX. The poll found that the vast majority of Utahns have confidence that their state and local election officials ensured a fair and accurate election this year. Republicans and self-identified conservatives had more confidence than the state overall. This high level of trust in those conducting Utah elections among Republicans closely mirrors Deseret News polling results on the same question from the last election cycle in 2022. But it appears that confidence has decreased among self-identified Democrats. Read more about the poll results.

West Valley father shot wife, 4 children, then himself, police believe

West Valley City police believe a father shot and killed his wife and three children and critically injured a teenage son before shooting and killing himself over the weekend.

The tragic discovery was made Tuesday in a home in West Valley City. The bodies of the 38-year-old mother and her two daughters, ages 9 and 2, were found together in a bed in an upstairs bedroom, police said Wednesday. The bodies of the 42-year-old husband and their 11-year-old son were found in the living room.

The names of the family members have not yet been released to give time for notifications to be made to relatives who may not live in Utah, West Valley police deputy communications director Roxeanne Vainuku. said. The shootings are believed to have happened sometime late Friday or early Saturday morning.

“We really have no motive. We understand how frustrating it is for an incident of his magnitude to happen and to not understand why. We know people want to know why. We want to know why. But the truth is we may never know. We don’t have any information as to why this happened,” she said. “It’s hard to comprehend.”
