• Commentary: Utah needs to reclaim position as a safe haven against hate crime

  Last year in Draper, 57-year-old Mark Porter was arrested after shouting racial slurs at a 7-year-old boy and then zapping the boy’s father in the neck with a million-volt stun cane. Charged with third-degree aggravated assault, Porter faced no more than five years in prison.This September, the state charge against Porter was dismissed to make way for a federal hate-crime charge. Porter now faces a possible sentence of up to 10 years in prison.Why must the federal government step in to pro

About 150 male students, ages 11 to 13, signed up. But event organizers were concerned that some would attend without a male figure at their side, so they put out a call for volunteers who could

  San Jose, Calif. • Nothing can replicate the drama and intrigue of Olympic figure skating. As a committee toiled over which three male skaters to send to Pyeonchang, South Korea, in a month, there was absolutely zero drama about who’d be the headliner, and definitely some intrigue about who’d join him. That much was cemented Sunday morning when the 2018 U.S. figure skating squad was revealed.Atop the list: Who else?Nathan Chen, the 18-year-old from Salt Lake City, who will enter

  Washington • Lynn Tran and Richard Hazen built a Florida beachfront treehouse that would be the envy of any child. It's got two levels, hammocks and windows that look out on the Gulf of Mexico.But the hangout has cost the couple a handsome sum: about $30,000 to construct and probably five times that in legal fees as they’ve fought local authorities over it, Tran said. Now, they’re at their last stop, the Supreme Court. Unless the high court intervenes, the treehouse must be torn

  To ensure she wouldn’t be prosecuted for practicing polygamy, Meri Brown has lived in the Las Vegas area for seven years. But when the bed and breakfast at the corner of 100 East and 100 North in Parowan, Utah, came on the market, she had to have it. The house was built by her great-great-grandparents in 1870. To Brown, it is synonymous with her great-grandmother Lizzie. Brown had a grand opening for the business on Dec. 13 and named it Lizzie’s Heritage Inn. It was a chance to recla

  Ten years ago my wife and I searched across southern Utah for property to live on part-time after we retired. We have traveled in Utah since 1972 — during vacations and for my fieldwork as a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. We fell in love with 40 acres east of Escalante, within walking distance of Hole in the Rock Road, and we purchased the property in 2008. We loved the remoteness of the property and that it bordered Grand Staircase National Monument. President Trump’s re

Everyone fully expects the new prophet to be Russell M.

And he doesn’t want to simply fade away.There are many reasons Romney may launch a 2018 bid for the Senate — and a few why he might not.But one of the driving motivations for the 2012 Republican presidential nominee and now-Utah resident to pursue a Senate seat is a sense that he still has a part to play, and, at a critical time in American politics, he
