February 9, 2021 by Brian Fryer Leave a Comment

While skies appeared thick with smoke this past summer, and images of flaming landscapes were featured on newscasts, there were not a record number of wildfires last year.  When Utah wildfire officials closed the books on the 2020 season that ran from June 1 to November 30, they counted 1,547 total fires that burned 336,364 acres in the state and cost an estimated $60 … [Read more...]

Fringe Gambling in Utah- New Law Takes Another Swipe at a Persistent Pastime

August 13, 2020 by Brian Fryer Leave a Comment

  Whether in the form of poker games in mining town saloons to less obvious games of chance such as church raffles, gambling has been a secret vice in Utah since before statehood. For nearly as long  state lawmakers and police have been playing a game of Whack-a-Mole in trying to eliminate it.  Utah lawmakers took another whack at “fringe gambling” by passing a … [Read more...]

Starry Starry Night: Dark Sky Parks and Research Flourish in Utah  

April 18, 2020 by Brian Fryer Leave a Comment

  One of the great delights of a camping trip, or better yet, living in one of Utah’s remote places away from the lights of the larger cities, is looking up on a clear night to see the sky filled with stars. Staring into the dark sky, punctured with points of light and maybe the glowing brushstroke of the Milky Way, can be inspiring, humbling and exhilarating. It is … [Read more...]

August 18, 2019 by Brian Fryer Leave a Comment

It's known as the Sugar House Monument: an art deco obelisk with bronze statues and flowing water features at its base. Fifty-five feet high and 60 ft. wide, the monument is a cultural marker for Sugar House residents, and was likely an abomination to traffic engineers with its placement in the middle of the busy intersection of 2100 South and 1100 East, at least until the … [Read more...]

June 16, 2019 by Brian Fryer Leave a Comment

Solar farms present opportunity for sheep ranchers in Utah by having sheep roam the solar farm munching the weeds that grow between solar panels.

  It's not unusual to see sprawling solar farms now-a-days but, what the heck are those sheep doing?  Tradition thrives along with new technology Hearing someone refer to themselves as an entrepreneur usually conjures up a certain stereotype: the young, hoodie-wearing, manic visionary pushing the latest techno breakthrough, or everyday types in their best suits … [Read more...]
