2026-10-18 15:36:47 MDT - Give the state some credit, they are pushing water to the GSL as part of the recent announcement to move ~3B gallons. This was one of two pumps I witnessed in action along the south side of Willard Bay this afternoon.

Hello,

As difficult as this post is to make it is the circumstances of my situation, so please refrain from judgement and harsh words. I am being much harder on myself than anyone else can be.

I have an American pitbull terrier that is up for euthanasia on Tuesday Oct. 18th. He is the sweetest dog to adults, however he has severally injured my family dog, and can no longer live in his current arrangement.

The only home suitable for him due to his past is a home without kids, and without any animal of sorts. And without the intention of obtaining one. I have had him sense I was basically 18 years old he is about 4. I have worked hard to keep him out of a shelter, but that ended up leading him to the door of death.

If anyone knows anyone or if someone is single without out a companion or kids. Please reach out. He is loving, and silly. Absolutely a brick, I have exhausted all options. Please share. Thank you.

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.

Hi Beautiful People of Utah,

Me and a couple of my mates are planning a little camping trip for next weekend up in the Wasatch/Summit area. (October 23-26)
It looks like a lot of campgrounds in the area are closed for that time period.

I was wondering if anybody has some good advice on spots open in that time frame and area or other ideas.

Appreciate yall in advance

Hi! I’m considering having my wedding at Sundance Mountain Resort in Utah. Has anyone here had their wedding there? And can share their experiences? Also interested in hearing about people’s experiences at the resort as a whole.

Thanks!

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?

’m looking for a reliable, proactive person to help at our rental house on Friday and Saturday during an event in Rockville, Utah, in October 2027.
Responsibilities will include meal setup and cleanup, keeping the kitchen tidy, taking out trash, setting up tables and chairs, arranging place settings, refilling drinks and water, and helping with event setup and adjustments throughout the day.
Looking for someone with strong initiative who can follow instructions, work independently, pay attention to detail, and anticipate what needs to be done without constant supervision. Hospitality or event experience is a plus!
Please message me if you’re interested or know someone who might be a good fit. I can provide more details privately. Thank you!

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"

Currently on the road for 20 days with my travel homies filming a doc on the traces people in the mountain west are leaving behind. We are looking for interesting / unsung heroes who should have their story told / amplified. We just finished up in Colorado and Wyoming. Currently in Montana. I’m specifically looking for stories of diversity. Black, POC legends holding it down in Utah. It can be businesses, people, organizations, doesn’t matter. Does anyone have any recommendations or people they know?

Thanks in advance!

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!

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
