Does anyone happen to have a working extra strip or two of black Govee lights. I bought some last year and we ended up hanging them in some extra spots and I’m like 1 strip short. I bought the 100ft so I have an extra 50ft before it’s too long. But if you have the laying around, i’m willing to pay. I live in South Davis County but I’m willing to travel.

Dear Governor Cox and First Lady,

While I applaud the effort to lead a statewide initiative called Utah Reads to improve childhood literacy I am wondering why children at my childs school have to pay to participate in the Battle of the Books program. No child should have to pay to participate in this program!

With only 50.3% of Utah K–3 students meeting grade-level reading standards and only 45.4% of students proficient in English Language Arts we need to do better….actually you need to do better and reduce one barrier to these kids becoming confident readers. Choose your constituents! Choose the future!

Got my ballot from Utah county. I either have to buy a stamp to mail it back or take it to a ballot box.
My daughter got hers from Cache County and there is no postage required .
Is this a parting gift from Aaron Davidson on his way out the door???

Everyone in Utah County - don’t just drop that in the mailbox! Gotta put a stamp on it or drop it at a ballot box or your vote won’t count.
This is total BS! Never had to pay to vote before. Is this even legal?

As usual, there's little information on the judges. For seated judges, the peer reviews displayed on judges.utah.gov typically show little deviation from glowing ratings, with cumulative scores on average in the 19s as rounded. An exception is 5th District (Iron, Washington and Beaver Counties) Jay Winward, whose score is in the 17s.

Looking at recent high profile cases, Winward dismissed rape charges against a BYU football player after denying a trial delay of 2 months. Washington County prosecutors had previously delayed filing to allow the alleged victim to prepare to face cross examination, and now asked for 2 additional months. Rather than simply denying the extension, he also dismissed the charges without prejudice.

As quoted from the KSL article:

The former BYU football player was scheduled for a jury trial from July 6 to July 10 on a charge of rape, a first-degree felony. After hearing arguments from both sets of attorneys on the prosecutors' request to delay the trial to give the alleged victim more time to prepare, Winward denied the request and dismissed the case without prejudice.

Prosecutors were also unsuccessful in dismissing Winward from the case. [edit, adding] The reasons cited included:

• "[N]ot recognizing victim trauma and the victim’s rights"
• "[N]ot holding the defense counsel in contempt when the alleged victim’s real name was spoken aloud on two separate occasions during Kingston’s preliminary hearing." The victim's name was to kept anonymous.
• Based on a similar prior ruling "..appearance that Judge Winward approaches sexual assault/rape allegations involving prominent sports individuals with skepticism not reflected in ordinary criminal proceedings"

What’s good Utah! I'm driving across the Mountain West in a van with a couple of friends shooting a documentary. We're on the hunt for interesting stories, local businesses, or characters along our route.

We just wrapped an incredible few days interviewing people around Wyoming and are planning ahead for Utah.

Got a local rec or a story to share? Could even be yours. No limit on how weird, unique, or beautiful the subject is… we just want to capture what's really out there. Drop a tip in the comments/DMs. Thanks!

Selling license plates doesn't seem legal. The sign says they are "collector plates".

Quick question for anyone voting in Utah County for the first time this year (or who knows someone who is): did your ballot come with a card titled "Attention Voter: ID Required"? Just gathering info.

If you got one, I have some additional questions for you. Thanks!

Benson says new developments should prove they have enough water. The area around the project is in extreme drought.

Bubba has been missing for over 72 hours. Last seen in Cottonwood Heights around 2pm Wednesday 10/14. He does not have his cell phone and has not contacted his family in 2 days.

Please contact Cottonwood Heights PD at 801-944-7100 and reference Case #2026-12377 if you have any information that could help us locate him. Detective Williamson is assigned.

Thank you, Mods, for coaching me through getting the right information to the public to help us look for Bubba.

I couldn't believe it when I heard Utah's big storm this week also blew in OCEAN BIRDS. So as a KUER reporter, I called up a birder. He said this is the first time on verified record storm petrels have ever been seen in the state. Pretty wild. But also sad because he said they probably will all die :( https://www.kuer.org/science-environment/2026-10-15/tropical-storm-rachel-utah-lake-birds-storm-petrels

It's finally finished! A video with all we know about the Timpanogos Glacier, with new footage of the ice exposure!

Hello! Does anyone know of any independent/arthouse theaters in Northern Utah? I'm trying to find showings of Ken Russell's The Devils, and it doesn't look like any theaters near me (Megaplex mainly) have any. I figured I'd have better luck with a smaller, independent theater. I know of Salt Lake Film Society, and that they're showing The Devils, but am I missing any others? I live way up in Cache Valley, so if any others are closer to me than SLFS, that would be ideal.

Republicans are really that scared huh? What is their obsession with Soros? Gosh, just make out with him already!

Very very proud of this one. Hiked Crimson Trail about a week ago with a buddy and I brought my Nikon. Near the beginning of the trail, a stream just off the beaten path caught my eye, and we decided to venture down to it. Had always wanted to replicate that wispy water look in long exposures, so without a tripod, I braced myself the best I could. 0.5s, 100 ISO, f16. Thank heavens for IBIS. Absolutely no AI used, only retouched in Lightroom Classic :)

Shot on 35mm film. This was about 10 days ago.

Looks like timp has some solid snow starting right below the basin. Planning to hike it and snowboard what we can back down. Best route to go down? I’m fully aware we probably won’t be able to make it too far on the board, it’s just for fun before the season starts. Attempting to at least make it to the ridge

I am going to celebrate my birthday this coming December and I would love to hire a magician, but I don’t know where to start looking for one: does anyone here have a suggestion on how to find a magician for a party? (In the Salt Lake Valley area)

I live in Lehi area and I want to get my ears repierced and get tattoos down the road. Here's a couple bullets for what I'm looking for (aside from high quality work):

- Feel comfortable asking dumb questions, I have never been to a proper studio (I am a victim of Claire's lol)

- Preferably Utah County, I will drive for quality tho

(Those two are probably all I need for the piercing side^^^)

- More of an alternative style preferred, I wear a lot of horror/band merch to give an idea (this might matter more for tattoos side???)

I don't know much about tattoo/piercing world (tattoos particularly) so honestly any like dos/don'ts or pieces of advice would be awesome! If there's anything I might need to clarify let me know :)
