    Provo, Utah Mayor Michelle Kaufusi has a reputation of being warm and friend, but very tough. And she’s had to be. Her husband Steve Kaufusi played for the Philadelphia Eagles and is the former Defensive Line Coach for BYU. Sons Bronson and Corbin play for the New York Jets. And Devin is a Defensive Lineman for BYU. Daughters Daryl and Alexis were active in high school sports. Now Mayor Kaufusi is using many of the same skills used to build successful professional athletes to run the city of Provo, Utah. When Michelle Kaufusi was elected the first female Mayor of Provo, political advisers told her it would be political suicide to propose a $69 million bond her first year in office. But after seeing the decaying and grossly overcrowded police and fire facilities at City Hall, she made the very difficult decision to put the bond issue to the voters. It passed by a narrow margin. And now after almost two years in office, with the new City Hall under way, she has taken on the massive project of building a new and expanded Provo airport. Mayor Kaufusi doesn’t consider herself a politician, and you’ll hear why. But she does like to move fast.

    It’s easy to look at police officers as the embodiment of official authority; enforcers of laws and rules; and a societal element to be cautious of, if not feared. But for those who look on them as corruptible bullies or worse, famed radio commentator Paul Harvey pointed out that less than one half of one percent of police officers “misfit the uniform”. And “that’s a better average than you’d find among clergy.” Walking the “thin blue line” is often a thankless job, fraught with mortal danger and never-ending hours chasing a never-ending stream of ne’er-do-wells. But you will never hear a police officer talk about how difficult their job is, despite the fact that most of us couldn’t conceive of what we really ask of them.

    For hundreds of years, the Jewish people have been the victims of violence, discrimination, and derision. Even in the information age, where we know more about each other than ever before, rather than receiving increased tolerance, Jews continue to be the target of hatred, bigotry, and deadly attacks, both around the world, and here in the United States. While in the religious minority in Utah, Jews in the Beehive state have found somewhat of a refuge dating back to the 1850’s, just years after the Mormon Pioneers settled the valleys of the Rocky Mountains. From that time forward, a special kinship has developed between the Latter-day Saints and the Jews, whose narratives of enduring religious intolerance have paralleled each other to a degree. A recent survey by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany indicates 22% of millennials are either unaware or unsure of what the Holocaust is. In this interview with Rabbi Sam Spector of Congregation Kol Ami in Salt Lake City, FOX 13’s Bob Evans examines the reasons for the growing ignorance of the Holocaust, the reasons for continued animus against the Jews, and how the Jews and Latter-day Saints are getting along in Utah.

But the charges against Shurtleff were dropped. And Swallow was exonerated. And the State was left to pay millions of dollars to retire both men’s legal debts.

    Carol Lynn Pearson shot to the top of literary awareness among members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the early 70’s and 80’s. Raised as a Latter-day Saint, she married Gerald Pearson in the Salt Lake City Temple, aware that he was gay, but with both of them thinking it was something that could be overcome with prayer and righteous living. But for all of their best efforts, Gerald’s sexual orientation wouldn’t budge. Recognizing their marriage could not survive, they divorced, and continued to love each other as committed friends. In fact, when Gerald contracted HIV Aids in the early days of that disease’s devastating run, it was Carol Lynn who cared for and nursed him until his dying breath. And thus her book, “Goodbye, I Love You”. Since that time, she has actively encouraged love and understanding for LGBTQ members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But that’s not all. Despite the Church’s abandonment of polygamy long ago, she has been disturbed by the concept of polygamy in the eternities, a mindset that has persisted in LDS thought and practice. As she took the temperature of fellow Latter-day Saint women and men, she found her sentiments were widespread. And thus her book, “The Ghost of Eternal Polygamy”. Bob Evans, with FOX 13 News in Salt Lake City interviewed her in October of 2019, for his segment “3 Questions”.

When he greeted them through the fence one day, he was impressed with how, despite their desperate circumstances, none of them had their hands out to beg, but rather, stood and smiled, thanking him profusely for bringing them what they needed to stay alive, and offering handshakes through the fence. He offered the only treats he had. Two sticks of chewing gum. They carefully received them, delicately removed the paper wrapping, and broke the sticks into as many pieces as they could to share with each child. When the gum ran out, they circulated the paper wrapper, and let each child smell the aroma of the gum.

It’s highly educated, multi-lingual workforce, combined with relatively low taxes and business-friendly environment make it a destination for many companies looking to locate in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Utah is also known as “the crossroads of the west”, making it logistically ideal to create an Inland Port that could serve as a hub for importing and exporting a wide range of goods and services. But there is significant concern about what creating an Inland Port would do to Utah’s delicate environment. Because of temperature inversions, northern Utah’s topography often traps air pollutants in the winter months, and ozone in the summer, which creates health hazards for at-risk populations. So, would the benefits of jobs and economic growth be worth the cost to Utah’s air and landscape, and the health of Utah citizens and visitors?

Built on the subscription/print advertising business model, community newspapers are watching their vital numbers fall, even as their online audience continues to grow. But monetizing the growing online audience is a challenge, especially when the online “pie” is split in so many, many ways.    It’s especially troublesome when large corporations and investor groups buy up smaller newspapers, and concentrate not on serving the community, but on the bottom line. The sacrificial lamb becomes real journalism, and the public’s interest.
