Rafting the Yampa: A Libertarian Publisher is Exposed to the Beliefs, History and Ideology of Environmental Protectionists

July 29, 2018 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

“Okay,” I thought, “I’m going to be going down a river with people whose primary ideology I disagree with.” But then I reasoned, “maybe my point of view could provide an interesting story. Why should every story be about everyone being agreeable? I’ll go, I decided, be nice yet disagreeable, and completely honest.” So I went on a trip down the Yampa River with a group of … [Read more...]

The Significance of the “Salamander” In Mormon and Occult Lore

July 26, 2018 by Danny B. Stewart Leave a Comment

  Most of us have at least heard of the “Mark Hofmann murders” and the related “Salamander Letters,” but what's the deal with this so-called “Salamander?” Most people have heard of Mark Hofmann, his forgeries, that include the “Anthon Transcript,” the “Joseph Smith the 3rd Blessing,” and “The Salamander Letter,” which eventually led to one of the most compelling … [Read more...]

Lava Flows and Hot Springs: Volcanic Activity in Utah

July 24, 2018 by Alyssa Bray Leave a Comment

Years ago, I saw a photo on Facebook of a little girl snorkeling among tropical fish in a rocky pool with clear turquoise water. The photo was tagged at Meadow, Utah. I had never heard of Meadow, but I soon discovered that just outside this quaint town in Millard County, lies a collection of thermal springs. Two years ago my sister and I made the road trip to see the springs … [Read more...]

Cache Valley Canals: Early Pioneers Worked for Their Water

July 21, 2018 by Lara Gale Leave a Comment

In the spring of 1860 Logan City’s early settlers got to work digging their first major canal. The season before they managed to grow food by hand-digging irrigation trenches on individual lots. But to produce food on a scale necessary to support a whole community they needed to directly tap the mountain snow runoff. By mid-May, the completed Logan and Hyde Park Canal was … [Read more...]

Rockin’ Ramen: Jinya’s Japanese Roots

July 19, 2018 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Made in Japan I tend to shy away from writing about franchise and chain eateries, choosing normally to highlight independently-owned, truly local businesses. But now and then I come across a chain restaurant that doesn’t look or feel chain-like, and that is simply too good to ignore. Such is the case with Jinya Ramen Bar. There are currently 27 Jinya locations in the U.S. … [Read more...]

Spaghetti Carbonara with Eggs

July 19, 2018 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  If I were asked to name my very favorite single dish, I think it would have to be spaghetti carbonara. It’s like having bacon and eggs, but with pasta. It’s very rich, so I only make it once in a blue moon, when I feel like treating myself. This version of spaghetti carbonara calls for raw or undercooked eggs. If that bothers you, skip it. If not, read on! … [Read more...]
