  OSLO — I’ve been away for a while, so I might have missed something.But the idea that downtown Salt Lake City is wanting for restaurants, bars, things to do, tall buildings and upscale housing strikes me as odd. It seems that the only things the neighborhood lacks is housing that normal people can afford, and maybe being able to walk down the avenue without being plowed under by a car or frightened by generations of homeless people destroyed by madness.But then came Ryan Smith, one o

• Letter: ‘We share the effects of climate change and environmental degradation equally’

  I, for one, appreciate the op-ed piece on the conservative point of view on climate change (“I’m a young conservative, and I want my party to lead the fight against climate change”). It is refreshing to hear that climate change is beginning to be recognized as an issue on that side of the fence.Although some issues and complaints brought up seemed cherry picked and out of context, Benji Backer is so right that our policymakers need to get on board and help solve these problems.

• Letter: Gov. Cox, do the right thing and settle the lawsuit that calls for repeal of barbaric wildlife trapping law

  It is very unfortunate that two nonprofit conservation organizations have to sue the state of Utah to force them to repeal a cruel and barbaric wildlife trapping law allowing the use of steel jawed traps. The 2023 Utah Legislature passed HB469 very late in the session after Sen. Scott Sandal amended the act at the last moment to include the use of steel jawed traps and wire snares targeting mountain lions and allowing such trapping to occur 365 days per year.An animal caught in a steel jawed tra

  Cottonwood Heights • A few ragged sandbags mark the way to a trailhead that starts on a quiet cul-de-sac in Cottonwood Heights. It’s tricky to navigate the secluded, but well-worn pathways. A block away, no trespassing and private property signs and the words “NO HIKING ACCESS” might dissuade some, but for decades locals tramped up the rugged trail that winds its way up Deaf Smith Canyon.The area is better known for Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons — along with thei
