Minky Couture Blankets Create a Tight-Knit Community

April 30, 2019 by Caroline Kingsley Leave a Comment

A Minky Couture blanket is a security blanket...and so much more. It is stitched with love, covered with kindness and has created an improbable business success for the company´s owner and the dozens of stay- at- home moms she employs to craft them. How Minky Couture Began Sandi Hendry's demeanor isn't what you would expect from a woman with close to one hundred employees and … [Read more...]

No-Knock Search Warrant Costs Utah Police Forces $60K in Payouts to Victims

April 30, 2019 by Pamela Manson Leave a Comment

In 2016, Cottonwood Heights Police and Unified Police executed a no-knock search warrant at a Taylorsville house using explosives and battering rams. They were looking for a woman suspected of selling methamphetamine who rented a mother-in-law basement apartment there, as well as evidence of drug dealing. The violent entry through the front door and several other entry points … [Read more...]

Funny, Unique and Relatable Art at Utah Museum of Contemporary Art

April 29, 2019 by Melinda Welch Leave a Comment

Located in downtown Salt Lake City in the cultural core known as THE BLOCKS, The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (UMCA), is a chance to explore art that’s funny, unique and relatable—if you are able to get on the same wavelength as the artist. For myself, the experience was the first venture into the “Contemporary” Art. The obvious question: what does the adjective … [Read more...]

WorkSumo: Company Wants to Help Workers Grow Careers

April 29, 2019 by Abraham Tinklepaugh Leave a Comment

Wage stagnation isn’t just a Utah phenomenon, it’s a national 21st-Century problem. Despite a strong labor market, real wages have been stagnant for over 40 years. But how does someone who didn’t grow up learning to be ambitious escape the low-wage cycle, and what can they do to develop a higher-paying career in the least amount of time? As a way to keep up with shifting … [Read more...]

Cottonwood Heights: Council Member Finds Opposition to Transparency

April 28, 2019 by Pamela Manson Leave a Comment

Even before Tali Bruce was sworn in as a Cottonwood Heights City Council member in January 2018, she and police Chief Robby Russo were at odds on the issues. According to Bruce, Russo endorsed her opponent in the fall 2017 election, an action she believes was inappropriate coming from a police officer. [*According to her opponent this never happened.] Now, 15 months later, … [Read more...]

Cindi Edwards-Curry: Businesswoman Extends a Helper Hand

April 27, 2019 by Carey Hamilton Leave a Comment

If Cindi Edwards-Curry had a piece of advice for anyone it would be this: Don’t work for other people. Take the leap and start your own business, but also don’t believe you can do it on your own. While she was working for someone else, she fortuitously gained knowledge about every aspect of managing a successful economic enterprise from invoicing to marketing to making the … [Read more...]

Pizza Perfection: A Visit to Bountiful’s Ti Amo Woodfired Pizza

April 26, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Although Bountiful, Utah isn’t exactly known as a culinary hotspot, the city north of Salt Lake does have its high points. Vito’s, in my opinion, is the best Philly cheesesteak joint in the entire state. And Mandarin is an excellent Chinese restaurant. Boba World is an awesome place for boba drinks, Mo’ Bettahs is the go-to for funky Hawaiian-style fare, and Royal India serves … [Read more...]

Arroz Con Pollo Recipe

April 26, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

When I lived in New York City I came to love a one-pot dish called arroz con pollo (rice with chicken). I’d often enjoy arroz con pollo at inexpensive Cuban and Puerto Rican restaurants. Arroz con pollo is a dish that is ubiquitous in Latin American and some Caribbean countries, and it seems like every family has its own recipe. It’s an easy comfort food to prepare and I like … [Read more...]

Saracina Sauvignon Blanc

April 26, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Title: Sip O' The Week—Saracina Sauvignon Blanc The last time I visited California’s wine country, one of the stops I enjoyed most was near the small town of Hopland, where family-owned Saracina Vineyards is located. The 250-acre Saracina farm contains 150 acres of sustainably farmed vineyards along the Upper Russian River, along with 120-year-old olive orchards, … [Read more...]
