Search ArticlesCommentary: Hey, Brigham, Utah is the ‘right place’ for Catholics, too, and has been for 250 years
Catholics arrived here 250 years ago in 1776. Back then, there was no Utah, no United States, and the land beneath my Salt Lake City home was part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Spoiler alert — things evolved a bit during the quarter millennium that followed. I was around for about 25% of that time, but almost always looking forward and not back.
Why Utah outdoors brand KÜHL wasn’t cool with Kule, a New York designer known for its ‘perfect stripe shirt’
For more than two decades, Utah-based clothing brand KÜHL and New York-based Kule coexisted in their own fashion lanes, despite similar brand names that are four letters long and seemingly both pronounced like “cool.” Kule made “classic clothes with a happy wink,” known for its “perfect stripe shirt.” KÜHL — a brand “born from the rebellious philosophy to question everything, break rules and challenge the status quo” — made hats, jackets and bags for outdoor enthusiasts.
They wanted to host an international pickleball tournament on SLC’s west side. The Trump admin denied some players’ visas.
Glendale • The rain came down hard enough to send pickleball players scrambling for cover at Glendale Park on Saturday morning. Then, almost as quickly, some players ran back onto the courts — dancing, clapping and cheering through the downpour. It was an unusually soggy start to an international tournament that brought pickleball players from across the country and the Pacific to the southwest Salt Lake City neighborhood.
Opinion: This is looting by another name
Mexico City • This spring, hundreds of thousands of visitors to Mexico City’s Museum of Modern Art experienced the ardor of two of Frida Kahlo’s masterpieces in a temporary exhibit: “Diego on My Mind,” depicting Kahlo with Diego Rivera’s portrait emblazoned on her forehead like a third eye, and “Self-Portrait with Monkeys,” showing her surrounded by four monkeys amid dense tropical foliage. It was a rare chance for Mexicans to see these two celebrated paintings at home.
The next ‘Napoleon Dynamite’? This punk-rock teen comedy filmed in Utah is premiering in Salt Lake City.
With their new movie “Edie Arnold Is a Loser,” directors Megan Rico and Kade Atwood are aiming to ride the same nerdy comedic vibe that made “Napoleon Dynamite” a cult classic two decades earlier. Both were shot on shoestring budgets by filmmakers with a connection to Brigham Young University, chronicling high school kids charmingly outside the norm. Rico and Atwood say they’ve never met the Utahns who made “Napoleon Dynamite,” Jared and Jerusha Hess, though they want to.
Letter: Of course cameras can help solve crimes. But that shouldn’t trump Utahns’ right to privacy.
Gov. Cox: Utahns deserve public safety. We also deserve privacy. That distinction is becoming harder to defend as automated license-plate-reader networks such as Flock turn ordinary vehicles into searchable records of where people have been and when. Flock recently announced that beginning Jan. 1 it will shorten its standard data-retention period from 30 days to seven and require law-enforcement users to link searches to case numbers and implement auditing tools. Those changes are welcome.
Letter: Amid the Trump-manufactured craziness, you may have missed what’s brewing on the streets of D.C.
Reading or listening to or watching the news these days is a daily exercise in incipient fear. What harebrained, self-aggrandizing falsehood will Mr. Trump come up with today to post on social media, to include in yet another executive order, to ram down the throat of Congress or rush over to the Supreme Court to put on the shadow docket for a speedy judgment in his favor? Whom will he attack next, what federal judge, what government official, what member of House or Senate, what foreign ally?
Meet the ‘Music Bachs’: How BYU’s Bear and Tiger Bachmeier turned lakeside jam sessions into a band
Strumming their wooden guitars while wearing matching royal blue-and-white striped bib overalls, Bear and Tiger Bachmeier looked like stars in the making — just not the kind you see under the bright lights at LaVell Edwards Stadium on Saturdays. Their day job, at least right now, is playing for the Cougars. Bear is BYU’s star quarterback, looking to lead the program to its first Big 12 championship. Tiger is a wide receiver fighting for a spot in the rotation.
Tribune editorial: Dolly Parton, smart enough to get rich, good enough to share it
Dolly Parton was more than a pretty face. After a poverty-stricken childhood in the hills of Tennessee, Parton became more than a big country star who wrote her own — and other artists’ — hit songs. She turned into a shrewd and self-taught entrepreneur, managing her image, her song catalog and a quiver of other businesses, including the successful Dollywood theme park back home.
As the West dries up, more companies are promising they can make it rain
Washington • One answer to Utah’s brutal drought could be a large metal structure that looks like a football goal post at the foot of the La Sal Mountains near Moab. The device sends pulses of electrical charges into the clouds, ions that the company that built it says brought 15% more snow to the mountains last winter. In a hot, dry Southwest, it’s a bold claim. But a growing desperation for water is making it a persuasive one, too.
