  Provo • A year ago at this time, BYU looked like it was going to land one of its best football recruiting classes ever.But one by one, highly regarded prospects who had committed to coach Kalani Sitake began to look elsewhere, some before the Cougars’ disastrous 4-9 season, some during and some after.High-profile recruits such as Brandon Kaho, Tyler Manoa, Cameron Latu, Jaren Kump, Tevita Fotu, Zadock Dinkelmann and Allan Mwata signed with other schools in February.Perhaps that’

• ‘Mormon Land’: Brigham Young, sea gulls, handcarts and hardships — separating myth from reality in the LDS pioneer trek

  23-07-2018 23:15
  This week, Utahns are celebrating the 1847 arrival of Mormon pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley.By all accounts, the Mormon migration from Illinois to the Great Basin was a monumental journey, one that helped shape the LDS Church and the American West.But, as with many historic events, the truth about the trek can get twisted and turned through the years. Did Brigham Young, for instance, really say “this is the right place”? Did sea gulls save crops from marauding bands of crickets? Di

  23-07-2018 23:02
  More voting by mail plus a return of Mitt Romney to the ballot helped increase voter turnout in this year’s primary election — but most Utahns still skipped it, officials said Monday as Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox’s office released the final canvass of results.About “29 percent of the active voters in the state cast a vote in the [June 26] primary. In 2016, it was 24 percent. So overall it was up,” said Justin Lee, director of elections for Cox.He noted that comparing turn

  One thing we can say for sure is there was a 2016 vote that significantly altered its county's economic fortunes.No, I'm not talking about President Donald Trump's shock election, but rather Britain's equally surprising decision to leave the European Union. Although, as we'll get to in a minute, it didn't change things in a good way. That, at least, is what economists Benjamin Born, Gernot Müller, Moritz Schularick, and Petr Sedlácek found when they looked at how those two economies
