Cloud Seeding for More Powder Days

December 22, 2018 by Lara Gale Leave a Comment

Nobody is closer to weather than people who rely on it for a living, so when the farmer I worked for several summers ago informed me that the government is manipulating weather, I payed attention. The breadth and depth of weather manipulation conspiracy theory is on par with that of alien encounters, so I went straight to a local source by googling “Utah weather … [Read more...]

Wasatch 100: How Far and Fast Can We Go? 

December 6, 2018 by Alyssa Bray Leave a Comment

For Jesse Rich, distance running started with the proverbial first step. This year he won the Wasatch 100, a 100-mile footrace traversing Utah’s rugged Wasatch mountains. But it all started in 2012 when his brother invited him out for a casual run. For the two brothers, enjoying each other’s company quickly became much more. For Jesse, running became a vehicle for … [Read more...]

October 24, 2018 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

This November Utahns have one major issue on the ballot that could dramatically alter our extreme-red, hyper-conservative state: the legalization of medical marijuana. The  ballot initiative Proposition Two seeks to allow residents to utilize  marijuana with a doctor’s recommendation. Currently 66 percent of Utah voters support this initiative. This would also allow for … [Read more...]

Goat Yoga in Clearfield

August 29, 2018 by Carey Hamilton Leave a Comment

  A little riddle: What do baby goats frolicking around, people trying to hold their double-plank yoga positions and raising money for breast-cancer research and medical bills have to do with each other? I’d be confused too if I hadn’t witnessed all of these activities co-existing on a summer afternoon at a 14-acre farm in Clearfield. Alisa Boulter kicked off … [Read more...]

How Drug Addiction and Homelessness are Intertwined

July 18, 2018 by Holly Holloway Leave a Comment

When someone is faced with addiction, they often can’t control the fate of their living situation as most, if not all, of their focus is solely on obtaining and using drugs they have become dependent on. When this happens, people with substance use disorders can sometimes find themselves homeless and living on the streets. The connection between addiction and homelessness is … [Read more...]

The World Beneath Our Feet: Organic Soil Supports a Rich Mix of Life

A small handful of soil contains billions of bacteria, several yards of fungal filament, thousands of protozoa, and many nematodes—the smallest and most abundant … [Read more...]

December 11, 2017 by Kelli Case Leave a Comment

How does it sound to work with your neighbors to advocate for a healthier environment here in Utah? Would you like to help bring about cleaner air this winter? Perhaps you’re interested in lobbying politically, or maybe it sounds more fun to dig your hands in the soil. The Native American-led SLC Air Protectors may be the group you’re looking for.
