• Once a valued commodity in the NBA, big men like Jazz summer league center Isaac Haas are trying to reposition themselves in a changing game

  08-07-2018 23:32
  Las Vegas • In the end, the dunk didn’t count. But it still mattered.With his left hand, Isaac Haas brushed aside 7-foot Zach Collins like a reed. With his right, he took a bounce pass in for a rim-rocking jam.The refs called Haas, the 7-foot-2 Utah Jazz center, for an offensive foul. But it turned out to be a spark for a Jazz team that started out getting whipped by the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday afternoon in the first five minutes, and it was the beginning of a frustrating p

  The Utah State Schools Commission on school safety is to be congratulated on the three tiers of suggested steps to protect students. All are good suggestions, but the commission fell short in failing to address the core of the problem: assault rifles and bump stock-equipped hunting rifles.Since the ban on assault rifles was lifted in 2004, there is a proliferation of these weapons around the country. Congress should reinstate the ban and the federal government should offer to buy back these rifl

• Kirby: New Mormon hymnal should make room for marches, bagpipes and the blues

  08-07-2018 18:30
  The LDS Church has announced a pending change in its official hymn book, quaintly known among some Mormons as “the Green Thumper.”We call it this because it’s green and because of the sound it makes when it’s tossed onto seats before church, or enthusiastically applied to the head of some miscreant child during church.Nevermind. The point here is that the church is about to revamp our hymnal once again. The last time it did so was in 1985, when we swapped the Blue Bonker

  OK, no more Mrs. Nice, Utah. Let me be blunt, because I’m absolutely sick about our upcoming ballot measure to legalize the use of medicinal marijuana. I am nauseated, nearly seizing with anxiety and I can’t shake it off. Do you realize what would happen in our state if we puff, puff, pass this initiative?

  Dear Utah Congressional Delegation, You have the privilege of representing all citizens of the great state of Utah in Washington, D.C. Your jobs were not easy to win, and it’s understandable that you want to keep them. The name of the game, as Rep.

However, he is wrong to suggest The Road Home’s downtown shelter should stay open after next year to accomplish this.This is backward looking and a distraction.The Road Home must close, as scheduled, June 2019. It is an unsafe and outdated space that has become home to a culture of drugs and violence. A legislative audit from earlier

  This week, news broke that the Trump administration will continue with its agenda against affirmative action and “race-based” admissions.

Our entire educational system stands to suffer as a result.The ignorance displayed in this decision begins with the basics — co
