• AP fact check: Romney oversimplifies Western water shortage

  13-10-2018 23:00
  Mitt Romney took up the question of water shortage this week in Utah, one of the driest states in the country, during a debate as he runs for a U.S. Senate seat in his adopted home state against Democrat Jenny Wilson. But federal water managers say he oversimplified a complex issue when he said Utah’s unused water allotment goes to California.Water use is a perennial issue in the arid West, especially along the overtaxed Colorado River, which supplies about 40 million people in seven South

• Rookie Grayson Allen remains a work in progress for the Jazz, but the early signs are encouraging

  13-10-2018 22:00
  In the months after Grayson Allen’s Duke team went down in the Elite Eight to No. 1 seed Kansas, Grayson Allen’s NBA stock went up.ESPN’s mock draft tells the story. In April, he was slated to be selected No. 33, by Memphis. In May, he was predicted as the 30th pick, to Atlanta. In the first week of June, he’d moved up to No. 28, Golden State’s pick. By June 19, a couple of days before the draft, he was going to be the 25th pick (the Lakers’ selection). And on

  Hooper, Utah • A yearslong battle against an invasive grass has improved hundreds of acres of wetland habitat near the Great Salt Lake, even as lake levels decline.Water-sucking phragmites moved into Utah wetlands decades ago and firmly took root. The non-native plant is notoriously hard to knock back, choking out native plants and wildlife.But just in time for duck hunting season, managers at Ogden Bay Waterfowl Management Area are gaining ground, fighting back phragmites with an unlikely

  In the first Ute Proud observance in November 2014, Arizona’s running game shredded Utah’s defense, Native American dancers performed in driving rain during halftime and Ute coach Kyle Whittingham walked onto the field in the closing seconds, preventing his offense from running one last play.The entire day was well-intended, but ended under the worst circumstances: Arizona 42, Utah 10.Four years later, the landscape looked entirely different.

In 2014, she was the first Native American woman from a major party to run for statewide office here when she sought to be lieutenant governor. After that bid failed, she became the first Native American woman in the country to lead a state political party.

• The Jazz are talented, deep and experienced, and expectations have gone up accordingly. Just how high can this team climb?

  13-10-2018 20:46
  There were no external expectations of the Utah Jazz a year ago.That’ll happen when your All-Star forward leaves for greener pastures, or at least greener jerseys; when your defensive anchor misses 26 games early with a pair of knee injuries; when your new starting point guard has his worldview scrambled by an offensive scheme that frequently deploys him off the ball; when, because of all that, you start the season a woeful 19-28.Of course, when you follow that up by your star center retur

  13-10-2018 19:40
  There are a couple of ways of looking at the replay-review controversy that swirled around the Pac-12 this past week, when it was discovered that a “third party” was involved in judging — and changing — a targeting play/call in the Washington State-USC game a few weeks ago.One is that it was a simple screw-up by the league, with a policy that was too ambiguous to appear above reproach as it was examined further.
