• NASCAR’s Big 3 running strong entering Michigan race

  11-08-2018 23:36
  Brooklyn, Mich. • NASCAR’s Big 3 has essentially lapped the competition.Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. have combined to win 16 of 22 races and haven’t allowed the field to win consecutive races with points at stake this year. Of the other 56 drivers who have started a race, only Clint Bowyer has won twice.That could potentially change Sunday in the Consumers Energy 400 because Chase Elliott won last week at Watkins Glen.Chances are, though, one of the series&rsqu

• Willie Grayeyes: Lee and Trump administration continue their attack on Native American tribes

  11-08-2018 23:00
  Sen. Mike Lee’s legislation misleadingly titled “Protecting Utah’s Rural Economy Act” (PURE Act) demonstrates his continued attack on public lands and Native American tribes in Utah and the U.S. The PURE Act also comes in light of how Trump administration officials dismissed the benefits of national monuments on July 23.The proposed PURE Act does little to mask such intent. It would exempt Utah from the Antiquities Act and prevent a U.S. president from designating a natio

  I don’t begrudge the residents and businesses near Rio Grande who have seen improvements to their neighborhood after years of complaining about the drugs, human waste and safety concerns caused by the large homeless population. We all deserve to feel safe in our communities.Unfortunately for those of us living in neighborhoods just outside downtown, we have inherited the very problems others fought so hard to eliminate. I understood it best when it was referred to as the “leaf blower

• College football kickoffs will have a new look. Here’s how coaches and their teams — including Utah and BYU — are scheming for it

  11-08-2018 22:37
  Britain Covey's strategy for dealing with college football's new kickoff rule will work only once.“Basically, I'm going to act like I don't comprehend it,” Utah's sophomore receiver joked. That way, Covey could catch the ball and run, just like always.That's not necessarily the best approach anymore, as Utah's coaches quickly would remind him. The NCAA rule change allows a returner to signal for a fair catch (preventing the defenders from tackling him), field the kickoff anywhere sho

  The visit to Moab last Sunday was fantastic. There were clear blue skies and sunshine that beamed off the red rocks.Then the Gomar family, from Alvin, Texas, drove to Springville to visit family. They saw flames as they drove west on U.S. Highway 6. In Springville, the air was so bad they canceled plans to go hiking, fishing and cycling. Pablo Gomar, 31, and his wife made their two kids, ages 5 and 7, wear masks when they did go outside.“With small children and their immune system, it was,

  Lehi • Like a true center, Logan Sagapolu’s right hand is bloodied after a steamy early morning practice. And like a true offensive lineman, it takes him nearly 10 minutes to notice it.Such things happen. But if you show up to Skyridge High, it’s easy to find No. 77, the 6-foot-4, 340-pounder who enters his senior year as one of the most highly regarded recruits in Utah.These next few months, however, will be more intense than the last.He’s ranked as the top offensive line
