20+ hour, 25+ min ago (269+ words) SALT LAKE CITY " Utah ranks number one in the nation for social capital, according to a recent study by the Utah Foundation, scoring 82 out of 100 compared to the national average of 44. Social capital measures the connections, trust, and civic engagement within communities, and it has significant implications for crime rates, economic prosperity, and quality of life. "Social capital itself is very important just as a concept, because it has to do with lifting people out of poverty. It has to do with making connections and getting people education. It has to do with household economics, but also community economics, like the state, the economy of the state, and the economy of the communities that we live in," said Shawn Teigen, president of the Utah Foundation. Higher social capital correlates with lower crime rates and increased social trust, including reduced rates…...

21+ hour, 51+ min ago (830+ words) (Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) The Orrin G. Hatch United States Courthouse in Salt Lake City, Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2024. Wade Christofferson had his first court appearance at Salt Lake City's federal courthouse in November after he was charged with attempting to sexually exploit a child. The path that led Ohio prosecutors to charge Wade S. Christofferson with attempting to sexually exploit a child began a month ago, when they say a Utah father figured out the code that Christofferson had been using with his daughter. The federal prosecutors allege Christofferson had been using this secret language to shield his sexually explicit requests of the 7-year-old girl in letters he had been sending her from Ohio for at least six months. The Utah father discovered the code on Nov. 5, prosecutors say, after he overheard a FaceTime conversation between his daughter and Christofferson and…...

21+ hour, 51+ min ago (344+ words) (Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) The Cache County Library in Providence, facing the risk of closure, is pictured on Monday, Nov. 17, 2025. After dozens of Cache County residents decried a budget plan that would shutter the area's only countywide library, leaders are now weighing a lifeline that could keep it open, at least temporarily. At Tuesday's County Council meeting, Cache County Auditor Matt Funk suggested a $132,800 adjustment to the proposed 2026 budget that would fund the library for six months. The move could spare the library in Providence from shuttering by year's end. Without funding, roughly 30,000 county residents would lose access to library services, while the county would save about $230,000 annually. Since County Executive George Daines introduced the defunding recommendation during budget discussions in October, residents across the county have flooded council meetings and reached out to council members, urging them…...
