  Utahns need to know what’s happening to their horses. It’s not pretty.Right now, helicopter crews hired by the U.S. government are chasing down mustangs in the Confusion Herd Management Area, which sits on nearly 300,000 acres of public land 30 miles north of Garrison. The plan, developed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, is to corral nearly 500 horses from the range and remove them from the land.These helicopter roundups are brutal.

  Utah State’s football team will be running on fumes Saturday when it pulls into Fort Collins, Colo., for its season finale against Colorado State.Yet interim coach Frank Maile indicated at his weekly press conference he sees that as no reason to take his foot off the gas.

  The next few months will be terrible. Several thousand Americans are now dying from COVID-19 every day; given the lag between cases and deaths, the daily toll will almost certainly rise through the end of this year, and if people are careless over Christmas it could surge even higher in the new year. Economic recovery has stalled, with employment still down almost 10 million from pre-pandemic levels.The most we can hope for at this point are policies that mitigate the suffering, getting us throu

  Eight years ago, when Gov. Gary Herbert and the Utah Board of Education set a goal of a 90% graduation rate by 2020, they didn’t factor a pandemic into that plan. So, when a report this week revealed 88.2% of seniors picked up a diploma this spring, the board took it as a victory.“With a couple of notable exceptions, we’re very happy with them,” board spokesman Mark Peterson said of the rates. “Given all the obstacles these students are facing, we still have an over

  In nearly 11 total quarters of football for the University of Utah this fall, Jake Bentley has completed 50 of 78 passes for 489 yards, three touchdowns and four interceptions.The first three of those 11 quarters were in relief of Cameron Rising, who suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in the opener vs. USC.

Other republics have lapsed into dictatorships (the Roman Republic, the Weimar Republic, the Republic of China and so on), but our elaborate constitutional system of checks and balances, engineered largely by James Madison, protects us from despotism.Or so we think.
