  There might not be a more beloved public-access golf course in Utah than Bonneville, a hilly layout with treacherous greens nestled in the foothills above Salt Lake City.Many of the state’s top amateur golfers got their start at Bonneville, which first opened for play in 1929. It remains one of the most-played courses in the entire state.That’s why so many of the state’s best female golfers are excited to test the par-74 (for women) course at the 112th Utah Women’s State

  When I picked him up at the airport, all I knew about him was that he was an artist and he was going to be a VIP for the Urban Arts Festival this fall.We locked eyes as he came down the escalator. “Mr. Stewart?” I said, holding a sign with his name. He gave a low, deep laugh that reminded me of James Earl Jones. “Yeah, but call me Charlie.”He sat in the front seat, since his 6-foot-5 frame wouldn’t have folded up very well in the back.I made my usual conversation. &

• Utah’s largest teachers’ union has canceled its annual convention for 2018 — but don’t worry, schools still get their fall recess

  For the first time in its 100-year history, the largest teachers’ union in the state will not hold an annual fall convention.The Utah Education Association has canceled its traditional two-day gathering — once slated for Oct. 18 and 19 — citing years of declining participation.

  Washington • If not for a $6,000 pay raise Sen. Orrin Hatch supported for Supreme Court justices, he might have been one of them.After Associate Justice Lewis Powell announced his retirement in 1987, President Ronald Reagan considered naming Hatch to the high court. Reagan's short list for the spot was so small it included only Hatch and D.C.

  Back when we lived in Utah County, my wife and I were herding our young daughters into church one Sunday when something horrible happened. It completely drove the spirit of worship away.Actually, it’s only horrible if you’re some kind of decorum weasel, pervert or bottom thinker. But here it is.I held the door open for my family and another young couple. When the wife of that family passed inside, I noticed she had blood on the back of her skirt.Perhaps the proper thing would have be

• ‘Every day we don’t do anything, the road quality goes down’: Salt Lake City may seek taxpayer OK to fix crumbling streets

  29-07-2018 15:05
  Two-thirds of Salt Lake City’s roads are in poor or worse condition, according to a pavement survey the city commissioned last year.It’s a reality caused by aging, coupled with a lack of prioritization and underfunding in city budgets for road maintenance before and after the 2008 recession. And if something isn’t done soon, the roads will continue to grow worse.But city officials say the timing is right to fix the streets, and the City Council is gearing up to pass a resolutio

  Congress’ annual August recess is beginning — the traditional time for members to return home to hold town hall meetings, talk to constituents and campaign.But Utah voters may struggle to find an old-style, anyone-can-talk town hall meeting where they may weigh in face to face with elected leaders on immigration, trade wars, President Donald Trump or any other issue.Members of Utah’s congressional delegation have scheduled only two traditional town hall meetings to date, and th

  It’s midsummer. We’re supposed to be doing outdoorsy things.But it’s awfully hot out. And watching TV in the air-conditioning sounds like a pretty good idea.

• Tribune editorial: Despite Trump administration’s efforts, tourists — and Utah — haven’t forgotten our former national monuments

  29-07-2018 15:00
  The Trump administration’s accidental release of documents shows what was already obvious: The decision to rescind two national monuments in Utah required the administration to downplay the monuments’ tourism benefits.In yet another sign of the Interior Department’s phony process, the department first released unredacted background reports, then later replaced them with redacted versions. That makes it easy to compare what they wanted to show as their evidence with the actual e

  As I sit here listening to these idiotic fireworks, I can't help but wonder where Utah went so wrong. The state complains of pollution and ozone and tells us not to drive, but for days on end, we smell gunpowder, smell smoke and watch wildfires just above the Capitol. Besides that, our pets run off, get lost and hurt and our veterans cower for cover as the sounds and sights remind them of war. Their PTSD rages out of control. So we can literally burn money.

• Letter: Trump overlooked a lot of people in his Pioneer Day greeting

  29-07-2018 15:00
  On a day for cherishing the pioneer spirit and for celebrating the resilience of Utahns, President Donald Trump took opportunity to amplify this message to the entire country and curry political favor with members of the LDS Church. In the article about Pioneer Day published July 24 (“President Trump celebrates Mormon settlers on Pioneer Day”), this newspaper failed to acknowledge the selective nature of the president’s well-wishing or place the congratulations in a context of

She should forfeit her firearm and have her concealed carry permit canceled and Second Amendment rights suspended until completing a thorough firearms training course. Had she made this major safety violation at a sanctioned shooting competition, she would have been disqualified and ejected from the range.The

  As I read the column a few days ago from writer Robert Gehrke, I wondered who would bring him down a few notches. He apparently assumed that he was writing the letter concerning U.S. Ambassador Jon Huntsman Jr.’s assignment for the good of all. Wrong.When you think you know what an ambassador to a foreign nation does or thinks, you are way out of line.Ambassador Huntsman, in my opinion, is a perfect representative for our nation to a powerful foreign country.

  Were it not for the extremely selfish cultural focus of the state of Utah, almost all political subunits throughout the state, and the typical voter, it might be possible to join in the “pioneer” spirit intended by this holiday. I moved here nearly a half-century ago, from a horrifically burned-out lead-zinc and coal mining region of southeastern Kansas, via four or five majors over a decade in the University of Kansas system, only to encounter this callous indifference of government

• Commentary: Utah suicide and gun groups can — and should — work together to prevent gun violence

  29-07-2018 15:00
  In an era of hardening political polarization, one of the most divisive issues is how to prevent the gun violence that our society faces day in and day out. We can’t even get started on a solution because gun-rights advocates fear that people concerned about gun violence want to take away their guns and people concerned about gun violence think that gun-rights advocates don’t care about public safety. Neither assumption is correct — except at the political extremes.If we are go

  For those of us fortunate enough to live in southern Utah, landscapes such as the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument are our backyards. We live and work in a storied place, a place that people travel the world over just to experience. But under President Donald Trump’s proclamation last December, the Grand Staircase is only about half the size it once was.The president’s proclamation has also left areas open and vulnerable to drilling and mining.

  Utah leaders ​have done a bold thing this year to protect the state’s residents: suing certain pharmaceutical companies for what has been characterized in different lawsuits as “callous” and “aggressive” marketing to promote opioids while concealing significant risks. As a result of these tactics, far too many have died of opioid overdose.While applauding historic actions of state leadership, we can’t help but wonder whether we have assumed too quickly t
