  Sunset • The balloons — purple and pink, Rachael Runyan’s favorite colors — were handed out to the 30 or so people assembled Saturday in the park that bears her name.It’s the same park where, on Aug. 26, 1982, someone — their identity still a mystery — abducted 3-year-old Rachael. Her body was found three weeks later in Morgan County, 20 miles away.People wrote messages in marker on some of the balloons. Rachael’s mother, Elaine, wrote on hers: &ldq

• Royce O’Neale was a revelation for the Jazz last season. Now, he’s planning his encore.

  25-08-2018 21:58
  When the Jazz signed Royce O’Neale to a three year contract last summer, most of their fans scrambled to find out who the small forward out of Baylor really was.Not many expected him to make the final roster. Few could’ve predicted an undrafted rookie would not only make the team, but become a valued rotation piece by midseason, and play well enough to become almost invaluable by playoff time.Yet, that’s the impact O’Neale made on the Jazz. Two years ago, he was clinging

  Southern Utah coach Demario Warren isn’t looking to change his expectations after arguably the best season in SUU’s football history.“We always have the same goals, it doesn’t really matter the year,” Warren said. “We want to have a winning record, we want to make the playoffs, we want to win the conference championship, and we want to win a national championship.”Last season featured a 9-3 overall record, including a 7-1 run in Big Sky Conference play t

  To minimize health risks, the optimal amount of alcohol someone should consume is none. That’s the simple, surprising conclusion of a massive study, co-authored by 512 researchers from 243 institutions, published Thursday in the prestigious journal the Lancet.The researchers built a database of more than a thousand alcohol studies and data sources, as well as death and disability records from 195 countries and territories between 1990 and 2016.

  The Cheez-It Bowl? The Rose Bowl?

The Utes have an opportunity to exploit a disheveled division — ESPN ranked the Pac-12 South the worst of the nine divisions in Power Five conferences — and win its first South championship in eight years of membership.The Utes h

  Logan • After every practice in fall camp, and after every scrimmage leading to the opener at Michigan State, the Utah State Aggies have broken almost every huddle with the same mantra: “1-2-3, Mountain West Champs!.”With seemingly indomitable Boise State in the league, and Fresno State and San Diego State coming off 10-win seasons, dreams of a title seem far-fetched, especially with Utah State needing a late season rally to become bowl eligible last season with six wins.At the

  My rule of thumb for months now has been to not think of the Trump White House as a presidency, but to think of it as a crime family like "The Godfather" and President Donald Trump as a mob boss.I don't say it lightly. When the words issued from my lips on MSNBC a few months ago, I hesitated in that way we used to do when we talked about once-taboo subjects, like being gay or cancer. But now that Trump has waxed fluent in the language of La Cosa Nostra, I feel liberated to let 'er rip.During an

  It’s bad enough that President Donald Trump is flirting with obstruction of justice by suggesting that he’s thinking of pardoning Paul Manafort as a reward for Manafort’s refusal so far to cooperate with the special counsel. But Rudy Giuliani, a former U.S. attorney, is part of the effort — and his latest comments are so close to the line of obstruction that they actually may have crossed it.Giuliani, now one of Trump’s personal lawyers, told The Washington Post on
