Smart Suburban Planning

December 20, 2011 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Do you want to move to England?” my wife asked me eight months ago. “I’ve been offered an position in Cambridge University.” Cambridge: where Sir Isaac Newton discovered gravity and calculus.

New research proves why dogs and humans are such a perfect fit. Keeks is our five year-old golden retriever. She is calm most of the time and loves people, especially children. But she is also extremely hard-headed and stubborn. We call her “Princess” for good reason. She obeys when she feels like it, and most of the time we obey her.

The Story of the Pilgrims immigrating to America on the Mayflower

It was a gray November evening in a grey classroom painted by bright smiles. I was an ESL teacher for newly arrived immigrants, a role that encompassed both instructing English and serving as a gateway to an often confusing culture. As I started with my usual happy “Hello class!” and received the usual happy “Hello teacher!” I saw a confused look on the face of Mrs. … [Read more...]

Utah Dancers

Nintendo? Nahh, how ‘bout ballet? Meet a man who’s teaching kids, especially boys, that ballet can pay off. Cristobal Marquez started dancing at the age of three so he could be just like his brother.

You think canning is tough? Meet some master canners, who showed off their champion recipes at this year’s Utah State Fair. Canning is not a dying art. In fact, it is a universe of exciting flavors that cannot be store-bought. This was quite apparent at the Utah State Fair. Think currant jellies and pie fillings that would make grandma green with envy. Kristen Larson took … [Read more...]

Steve Auerbach's School of Rock

The drumsticks tap—one, two three, four—and the song explodes with some serious rock ‘n’ roll force. Guitarists Andrew Cleveland and Emma Roberts strike the hard-driving opening chords of The Edgar Winter Group’s “Frankenstein,” accompanied by bassist Sierra Gentry and backed up by tireless drummer T.J. Maddux. Just another rock ‘n’ roll night at Mo’s Neighborhood Grill? Well, … [Read more...]

What Lies Beneath Salt Lake City?

August 26, 2010 by James Kirk 13 Comments

by James Kirk Tunnels conjure images of dark, dank spaces where mystery and danger lurk around every corner. Combine this preconception with a religion notorious for its secrecy and rituals and you’ve got a juicy recipe for conspiracy.
