Eight-year-old Golden Retriever, Otto, who lives with his family in Cottonwood Heights, became a YouTube sensation by learning to speak English. So far he can say five words: Yes, No, Please, Danger, and Popcorn.

According to dog owners Heike and Kristian Hasselkopf, undocumented immigrants from Düsseldorf, Germany, many animals are capable of learning to speak.
Heike grew up with a parrot named Max who had an extensive vocabulary. However, Max suffered from brain cancer and in a fit of rage attacked Heike, causing her to develop bird phobia and PTSD.

Düsseldorf has a large bird population which made Heike’s life unbearable. “I did not dare to go outside at all, and spent all my days in front of a screen, binge-watching RTL Crime,” says Heike with tears in her eyes. Nine years ago, she left Germany and found safety and Kristian in Salt Lake City, Utah.

As Utah’s population continues to grow, there’s a sense that some of the state’s coolest outdoor spots ought to be kept secret. When it comes to natural rock formations or hidden fishing holes, secrecy probably is the best policy. When it comes to ski huts, however, growing popularity would help improve and develop these resources.

“It’s a passion project of mine to work towards more hut systems in Utah,” says Shaun Deutshander, founder, owner, and guide at Inspired Summit in Park City. She notes that while Utah only has a handful of ski huts, Colorado has 79. “The only way we’ll get more huts is if the public is using them.”

Currently, Utah has about 20 winter-use huts in high-elevation areas throughout the state. They’re owned by a variety of groups including parks and rec, clubs like YMCA and TUNA, and Utah State University. Others are bases for privately owned ski touring businesses. Overall, the huts are available for broad use: backcountry ski, split board, and snowshoe touring; snowmobiling and tubing; and summertime biking. Adventures can be guided or unguided; fully provisioned or bring-your-own. And while hut styles can run the gamut, those in Utah are typically yurts — circular canvas tents stretched over a wooden lattice framework.

In 2017, when A Long Strange Trip – The Story of the Grateful Dead, had a private performance at The Spur Bar & Grill, the production process was immense. For weeks prior to the event, details like food and bar menus were being tweaked. In addition, the documentary’s organizers worked with city planners to arrange for special permits, including any temporary overhead or wrap-around signage that was required. Additionally, as the musical show was strictly for A-List entertainers, event security needed to be heightened.

According to Courtney Johanson, managing partner of four of Park City’s most popular dining destinations, there were five levels of security, including The Spur’s own private service. “Many of the fans had purchased The Spur’s t-shirts in advance, and then tried to get into the location by impersonating our wait staff. They would try to sneak in through the kitchen and the delivery doors. It was crazy.”

After working on Main Street since 1996, Johanson is a veritable savant at navigating the intricacies of the country’s largest cinema celebration — the Sundance Film Festival.

“Each year is just an incredible, fun, and intense time. I often go for 48 hours straight without sleeping,” Johanson exclaimed.

Her fête education began as a hostess at the young age of 14. With many firm words, impatient huffs, and “Don’t you know who I am’s?” being directed her way, the teenager quickly learned how to manage the expectations of spectators, fans, handlers, and talent.

Contrary to the common belief that only sickly horses are sold for meat, 92% of the equines slaughtered are healthy young animals. Owners take the horses that they love to be traded at an auction, but they don’t realize that often the horse is bought by a ‘kill buyer’ that contracts with a slaughterhouse.

Utah Governor Cox offered remarks today at the Solutions Utah conference on homelessness. Governor Cox referred to a book he has read where the author believes that the pendulum has shifted too far towards compassion and it needs to swing back toward personal accountability. “It’s not compassionate to allow a person to slowly die on the streets from a drug addiction or live in a manner that is unsafe for everyone around them.” Panelists at the conference included The Other Side Academy’s Executive Directors David Dorocher, Moe Egan and Carol Hollowell. They all agreed that homeless individuals require community, work and accountability to successfully combat problems associated with drug addiction and mental illness.

When you bike or walk or drive past the area in Glendale, where many people are camping beside the Jordan River it’s easy to make assumptions as to why they are there. (Lazy, drug users? ). But it quite interesting to actually speak to these people and hear their stories. This husband and wife were camping along the Jordan river because they are not allowed in any shelters with their animals. Further, they do not believe that the available homeless housing (permanent supportive housing) is a good element for them to recover and remain clean and sober. What is the best solution for them? They are trying to save up enough money to get into normal housing where there will be no temptation or readily-available drug market. Why doesn’t the city clean up or stop all of the drug use happening in housing units?

Nine out of 10 Utahns live in urban areas, with urban regions making up only 1.1% of the state’s land but housing the majority of the population, according to the Deseret News. The University of Utah’s Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute’s analysis highlights that, despite similar income levels and educational attainment, urban and rural Utah differ in demographics, health metrics, and housing dynamics. Rural Utahns tend to be older, less racially and ethnically diverse, and more likely to own their homes, with a significant portion of housing used seasonally.

Utah Stories interviewed residents on NorthTemple where a Major League Baseball stadium is slated to be constructed. We discovered folks there unanimously favored affordable housing over a MLB stadium. This experiment highlighted the discrepancy between working-class residents’ needs and legislative priorities. $2 billion in tax subsidies were allocated to the stadium and only hopeful measures passed in the legislature for housing. In our more extensive feature story we find homeless men who can’t find jobs that pay enough to afford “deeply-affordable housing”. These case studies illustrate the dire need for actual affordable housing, which remains inaccessible to most working-class people.

According to The Utah Investigative Journalism Project, Lumio, a solar company, had reports of many customers who signed up for solar and got scammed. The Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity (GOEO) board voted in September 2021 to award a $40 million tax incentive to Lumio in exchange for the company pledging to stay in Utah and bring 3,697 new high-paying jobs over the next 20 years, according to The Utah Investigative Journalism Project article. In the article it states, “Lumio refused multiple requests for an interview, initially criticizing the Utah Investigative Journalism Projects’ reporter as illegitimate after demanding they provide a formal license or credential.” Check out Utah Stories top five Utah headlines weekly podcast.

This magnificent canyon view is brought to us thanks to millions of years of glacial ice carving out sheer granite, which took hundreds of millions of years to form under the earth. The stunning result is a marvel unique in Utah. We get to host thousands of visitors and locals who want to experience both the stunning canyon and the greatest snow on earth found on its slopes. Now our elites tell us this canyon cannot function unless we build a gondola (along with millions of tons of concrete and steel), to give visitors better access. How do people become so incredibly arrogant and lacking in reverence for our natural wonders? Little Cottonwood canyon isn’t a “tourist destination” it’s a natural wonder, it’s a cathedral, it’s a sanctuary and it’s our primary water source for the area. It’s beginning to dawn on more residents that this marketing ploy, dreamed up by elites is bad idea. What do you think? Should we put a gondola up Little Cottonwood Canyon?

Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) provides screened, trained, and licensed therapy dogs for courtrooms, where their calming presence aids in reducing stress for everyone involved, including judges, staff, and families. These dogs, carefully selected for their people-oriented nature, offer unique comfort to individuals navigating the legal system, particularly children facing traumatic situations. The impact of therapy dogs is profound, as seen in instances where previously hostile or nervous individuals become more relaxed and communicative in their presence. ITA’s program, initiated by volunteers like Linda Webster, has expanded to include numerous courtrooms, reflecting the recognition of the therapeutic value these animals bring to such environments.
