• Moroni Benally and Leo Rodgers: Charges against inland port protestors should be dropped

  26-10-2019 23:30
  As candidates running for the Salt Lake City Council, we oppose the decision to charge the 14 people who protested the Utah inland port. We call upon everyone in the Salt Lake area to support dropping the charges.For months, we have heard accounts of diligent civilians resisting the inland port. The protesters, many of whom are disabled, women, people of color, and working-class, have taken risks because they know that the inland port represents a political system that ignores and silences their

  26-10-2019 23:04
  Utah's tree-lined suburbs and sweeping landscapes of red bluffs, deserts and lakes have increasingly dotted the silver screen in recent years, serving as the backdrop for several popular movies and TV shows including "Hereditary," ''Westworld," and the Disney Channel series "Andi Mack."The Beehive State has seen considerable growth in its television and film productions since 2015, with total dollars spent by productions more than doubling to about $87 million, according to a recent report from

• [True Hoop: Salt City Hoops] - Jazz lose in a very ugly contest, 86-95

  26-10-2019 23:00 via sportspyder.com
  It was as ugly of a game as there has been in the Quin Snyder era. The final score 86-95 does not do justice to how ugly the game truly was. That is, um, quite terrible.

• Tribune Editorial: On impeachment, Chris Stewart should be careful what he asks for

  26-10-2019 23:00
  Chris Stewart should be careful what he asks for.The undeserved — and unrequited — loyalty he and many other Republican members of Congress are offering to their beleaguered president does not merely undermine any confidence the American people might have in them as individuals.There is also a very real danger that, once the current chief executive is gone — however he goes — the Republican Party as a whole will be so discredited that its potential as either a governing p

  Washington • “I don’t feel that there’s a need to be careful at this stage of my life,” said Sen. Mitt Romney, who seems intent on proving as much these days.Romney, the freshman Republican from Utah — as opposed to the former governor of Massachusetts who ran twice for president — has discovered that hyper self-restraint might be overrated. Credit to Donald Trump for this lesson, a rare instance of something Romney might emulate about a president he othe

  Greg Hughes has never been our average Utah politician and, as his wife, I will add, he’s not the average person.His upbringing was rough, his circumstances humble. He was raised by a single mother when she could, aunt or grandmother when she couldn’t. He experienced cold nights and eviction from more than one home. As a child, he often went to bed hungry because he had no money for food. Stability and constancy were things about which he could only dream.At 16, he was in a car accid

The two went on FaceTime and opened it together. “It was a cute little card congratulating me for my soon-to-be baby,” Gette, 27, said.There was one hiccup. “I knew I was not pregnant, so it was very confusing,” Gette said. “My mom thought this was my way of telling her I was pregnant!”It’s likely that thousands of women across the country in their mid

  Having a 3-year-old in the family diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and currently going through treatment, we found something very disturbing. Teva Pharmaceuticals, the company that is/was the major producer of the drug vincristine notified the U.S. government in March that it would be discontinuing production of vincristine because it was not profitable. Vincristine, for children with cancer, is like water to a plant. According to the experts, it is the "bread and butter" treatm

  I went downtown to see "Pages of Salt," Salt Lake City's newest and largest public art installation. I was excited to see something interesting and different for a change, but was sorely disappointed. It looked amazing, but the only way to view it is to travel south on a mostly empty Regent Street or stand in the loading dock of the Eccles Theater. At a $2.2M price tag, this public art should be visible the public, not tucked away for the privilege of those holding theater tickets.Note to the pl

  26-10-2019 19:00
  “It’s a star-driven league.”That’s an NBA truism you’ll hear frequently across the whole spectrum of basketball familiarity, from the experts to those who only watch occasionally. That axiom is at the root of a whole host of other ideas. You’ll always hear commentators say that a team’s best player should take the last shot. If playoff predictions are being made, you’ll hear “the team with the best player wins the series.” In the offsea

  When President Donald Trump took office in 2017, I knew his presidency would be unexpected. I did, however, expect one thing would be consistent: President Trump’s foreign policy. Along the campaign trail, Trump led with the rallying cry that will leave an indelible mark on American history, “America First!” Though, as Trump announced his plans to lift sanctions on Turkey in response to the halt of the Turkish led offense against Kurdish forces, the cry reads more along the lin

  With every additional news story about a bishop behaving badly, it becomes increasingly galling to read the mealy-mouthed press releases from the LDS Church PR department proclaiming how strongly the church condemns child abuse or characterizing the criminal bishop as a “volunteer,” as if the church hierarchy has no role in selecting these bishops.I did a quick and simple google news query of “LDS Bishop” recently.

• Letter: Utah now has a Silver Alert System

  When Gov. Gary Herbert signed HB215, he indicated that he hears aging people of Utah. With the signing of this bill, Utah now has the Silver Alert System. Similar to the Amber Alert, the Silver Alert system alerts the public when someone in the community has gone missing. With Silver Alert, this person is a loved one 60 years of age or older diagnosed with dementia. We are the 29th state to sign this bill into law. It would seem the time was overdue.

  Warren, Vt. • It used to be that a free ski pass was enough to lure workers to seasonal jobs at mountain resorts. No longer.In the current tight labor market, ski areas across the country are having a tough time filling jobs, so they're upping the ante by boosting wages, providing more housing and offering other perks to fill those jobs before the snow flies.New Hampshire's Wildcat is offering a $1,000 bonus for new snowmakers to come on board, and Sunday River in Maine last year increased

It’s a business, of course, with a business model that makes much of its money by channeling tidings of sludge around, often to great harm.After helping give us Donald Trump as president and mass killings in places where a lie can dash around the world before truth puts on its pants, Facebook has lately been
