  09-09-2018 23:56
  Jerry Lewis was always available to give advice to those who needed it.Before Utah Jazz games, the longtime chaplain would make his rounds through the locker room, visit with players and coaches and converse. Often, topics would include everything but basketball.As a result, he became one of the biggest constants in the Jazz organization in the past three decades.“Ever since I’ve known him, he was always a positive influence on everyone around him,” Jazz power forward Derrick F

  Provo • It was all there for the taking Saturday night for the BYU Cougars.Momentum from a surprising season-opening win at Arizona. A decent, but beatable Pac-12 opponent that lacked firepower but had a better-than-expected defense. An interested, though somewhat disappointing crowd of 52,602 eager to jump back on the bandwagon after last year’s disaster.Call it an opportunity lost.After a stalemate in the first half, Cal made the important plays and better defensive adjustments in t

  DeKalb, Ill. • Four years ago, tens of thousands of Michigan fans went home during a weather delay and Utah followers moved into prime seats in the fourth quarter. Not counting that snapshot, Ute fans likely accounted for the highest percentage of occupancy of a road venue in the program’s history Saturday night at Northern Illinois.Several hundred fans in the crowd of 16,762 celebrated a 17-6 victory in the southwest corner of Huskie Stadium, near the visiting locker room.

  I once held a Colorado Pikeminnow in my hands. It was freshly caught by biologists who were searching for this species of fish in the silt-laden Colorado River. Water dripped off the fish’s silver scales as it moved back and forth in my hands, trying to free itself. I stared down at it, remembering that less than a hundred years ago this fish species had been six feet in length with a powerful body that propelled it hundreds of miles down the Colorado River to the Gulf of California and, i

Because we live in a state that believes in the strength of family and the value of children, we can and must do better.We can do better for our kids.

  With the passing of Sen. John McCain, we hear a lot about the importance of respecting our nation’s heroes or those who have dedicated their lives to the state. The great sacrifice that comes from serving the country overshadows any meager wrongdoing that the individual may have committed.

  EnergySolutions is asking for a fast-track approval to accept a large amount of depleted uranium (DU) munitions, which is Uranium 238 metal that is pulled from mined uranium during processing to increase the concentration of fissionable U235. The separation process results in U238 concentrated with much less radioactive uranium and it is about 40 percent of the radioactivity of mined and natural uranium in the ground.
