  Jazz guard Grayson Allen had his share of memorable rookie moments this season — the stereotypical pink backpack from the veterans; the eye-opening occasion of finding himself on the same court as Dwyane Wade, whom the Jacksonville native grew up revering; that time he was made to haul around a bag of popcorn so gigantic he had to sling it over his shoulder just to make it manageable.“I don’t think anyone really wanted it, they just wanted me to carry it,” Allen said with

• More ‘heartbeat’ abortion bans advancing in South, Midwest

  12-05-2019 23:25
  If a new Mississippi law survives a court challenge, it will be nearly impossible for most pregnant women to get an abortion there.Or, potentially, in neighboring Louisiana. Or Alabama. Or Georgia.The Louisiana legislature is halfway toward passing a law — like the ones enacted in Mississippi and Georgia — that will ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, about six weeks into a pregnancy and before many women know they're pregnant. Alabama is on the cusp of approving an ev

  A few days ago it was Holocaust Remembrance Day, and I heard a commentator on the radio suggest how someone living in Utah might put Holocaust statistics into perspective.Approximately 11 million people were killed in the Nazi Holocaust (including 1.1 million children). Six million of those victims were Jewish.The current population of Utah is about 3 million people, so the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust was approximately twice the population of Utah, and the total number of people kille

  Lisa Akers of Grantsville always knew she was adopted into what she calls a wonderful family. But for 54 years, she has still sometimes wondered about her birth mother — what she was like, what she was doing, did she think about Lisa, did she have more children?Then came a thunder-clap phone call in February.“The voice on the other end of the phone said, ‘Hi, this is your mother,’” Akers says.

  Inland Port Authority Board Chairman Derek Miller says there may be a need for legislation to give Salt Lake City a greater role in a future development project planned for nearly a third of the state capital’s landmass.City officials have felt trampled ever since Utah lawmakers last year unveiled and passed the bill creating the inland port, a massive distribution hub planned for its northwest side, over their protests of state overreach and the loss of their zoning and taxing authority.B

• Commentary: Why we need ranked-choice voting

  12-05-2019 16:00
  When asked about the 2016 presidential election, the most common response is, “I chose the lesser of two evils.”This low bar thinking does not lead to unifying or effective leadership. As a country, we can do better than this.Division between parties has become so extreme. Candidates who speak only to their bases are nominated, and then voters are left with no moderate options. Ranked-choice voting can change this by incentivizing more positive campaigns and by reducing extremism.Bes

This action will neither diminish forest fires nor lead to healthier lands, as Utah leaders claim.Utah’s Public Lands Policy Coordinating Office (PLPCO) is wrong to petition Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue to exempt Utah from the 2001 Roadless Rule, an action that will only degrade and make these lands more vulnerable to wildfire.
