  The Philippines is a basketball-crazy country.Fans of the game can be found throughout the archipelago, from the capital's state-of-the-art arenas to the province's coconut tree-encompassed courts.And ballers, both young and old, play anytime, anywhere, anyway — even in "tsinelas" (flip-flops) or with netless rims of twisted rebar and backboards made from plywood.It should come as no surprise, then, that when Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell visited the Philippines this weekend for a short

• ‘They don’t want us to display our cultural customs or traditions’: Pacific Islander students and parents frustrated with ban on leis at some Utah high school graduations

  Westlake High School staff were directing the graduating seniors who stood in line backstage: “Unzip your gowns.”Finehafo’ou Malohifo’ou had slid into the middle of the pack with the other students whose last names started with M, N and O. When the staffers got to his group, he pulled open his dark blue robe. It felt a little weird, he thought, but they were probably just checking to make sure no one was sneaking in an airhorn or some firecrackers.Under his gown, Malohifo

• Letter: Yes, let’s emulate Israel’s gun regulations

  18-06-2018 15:00
  Eric Moutsos’ recent commentary ("Without guns there is no America”) had me perplexed as to why a small nonrepresentative (to the U.S. at least) country of 8 million in a hostile region was chosen for comparison purposes. I now know: Israel was chosen due to its extremely sensible gun regulations. Citizens in Israel must pass through extensive background checks and, once approved, can own only one gun — a handgun (no semi-automatic weapons, plus there are limits on ammunition).

• Letter: Social Security isn’t the reason America is out of money

  18-06-2018 15:00
  It has been in the news that both Social Security and Medicare are running out of money in a few years. Congress should enact a health care excise tax on sugar/diet sweeteners. It would be imposed on producers and passed on to consumers, just like the excise taxes on alcohol and tobacco. Perhaps it could be 5 cents on a can of pop. It would raise a lot of money.Sen. Hatch is leaving Congress next year and he is leaving a legacy of a mountain of debt. After two world wars, Korea, and Vietnam, the

  It’s easy to criticize. But let us not forget that in some ways, The Tribune has improved. In years past, our copy would be delivered bagless on fair days, or single-bagged when it rained. Regardless, if it came in bad weather or on a sprinkler day, it would be soggy and wouldn’t dry out before noon. Now, because it is routinely double-bagged, it arrives dry, allowing me to do the Sudoku, the Jumble and crossword as I drink my coffee and down my morning pills. Let us count our blessi

  18-06-2018 15:00
  Twenty years of research into the effects from adverse childhood experiences demonstrate that the emotional scars from child maltreatment can persist for life. Adult health, from depression to heart disease and cancer risk, is worsened as a result of emotional injury as children.Our government, that I as a citizen elect and support with my taxes, is now abusing children. The research shows that children separated from their main emotional support, their parents, are emotionally harmed worse than

  Surely there must be a better way to advocate for gender equality than to disparage America’s Freedom Festival and the hundreds of thousands who participate in it in some way each year. I can understand your editors’ frustration with festival organizers and even appreciate your alliterative use of “freedumb” as defined by the urban dictionary. I get it. But there is a difference between a festival and its organizers, and for me the “good faith and good will” h

  Families that seek asylum are often escaping violence and death in their own countries. Our laws allow people to seek asylum in the U.S. when they have experienced persecution based on race, religion, nationality or political opinion. People in Venezuela, Honduras, Nicaragua and other Latin American countries are escaping such violence. In fact, 17 of the 20 countries with the highest murder rates in the world are in Latin America. The U.S. may be the nearest “safe” country!Early chi

  In the old days, these things were done differently. There were KGB couriers, bags of cash, “Moscow gold,” secret subsidies for far-left printing presses: The Soviet Communist Party was seeking to undermine Western democracy, covertly. But it was all pretty small-scale. The U.S.S.R. was not rolling in wealth, and it was never in a position to make its supporters wealthy. Being men of ideology, they weren’t supposed to want money in any case.Modern Russia, by contrast, has a far

  I might have heard a time or two that I am “strong-willed” and “intimidating.” (Those are among the printable things I’ve been called, anyway.) Often, those comments are followed by a question like, “How did you convince your husband to ‘let’ you adopt/run for public office/go back to school/do international humanitarian work?”I’ve always found that question somewhat perplexing. There is no “let.” We make decisions together.

  Even though he double-bogeyed the 18th hole Sunday, Tony Finau posted the best finish in the U.S. Open for a homegrown Utahn in 87 years. Finau’s adventurous round of five birdies and five bogeys ended poorly, as he fell to fifth place at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club with a 2-over-par 72 and a 5-over total for the tournament. He briefly stood alone in third place, but Dustin Johnson birdied the par-4 No. 18 and then Finau drove his ball into the rough and needed four shots to reach the green
