Tulowitzki on DL, out six weeks

The Colorado Rockies placed Troy Tulowitzki on the disabled list on Friday, and the star shortstop could miss up to six weeks because of a broken rib. Team spokesman Nick Piburn said an MRI taken Thursday night revealed a right rib fracture. Tulowitzki was injured earlier in the day while diving for a ball in the eighth inning of a 5-4 loss to the Washington Nationals. “I’m not going to sugarcoat it. It’s a big loss for us,” Rockies manager Walt Weiss said Friday before Colorado hosted the Phila...

Immigration: Stewart opposes any path to citizenship

By Matt Canham The Salt Lake Tribune

Updated Jun 14, 2013 07:07AM MDT

Washington • Congress should grant legal status to undocumented immigrants and remove all fear of deportation, but it should not offer them citizenship and with it the right to vote. Not now, not ever. This is Rep. Chris Stewart’s view and one that puts him at odds with the other three House members from Utah. Top Democrats call the idea “divisive,” but for Stewart, a freshman Republican, citizenship shouldn’t go to those who illegally crossed a border or overstayed a visa. “It is actually a dea...

Utah leaders fear new EPA smog rules

Washington • Utah officials worry the Environmental Protection Agency may set an unachievable smog standard that would choke the economy more than it would clean the air. Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, led a hearing of the House’s environment subcommittee Wednesday in which he said federal regulators should take into account naturally occurring ozone that tends to be far higher in Western states than in the rest of the nation. The EPA has set an acceptable ozone standard at 75 parts per billion, an...

Kirby: Funny enough, not all "bad guys" are creeps

In the summer of 1988, I bought weed from a guy named John. We might have become good friends but for two things — he sold drugs and I was a cop. A gal posing as my girlfriend introduced us at a party. John immediately noticed my Pink Floyd T-shirt. He liked Pink Floyd. What did I think of “The Wall”? Did I want to score some bud? Unfortunately for the future of our relationship, I was on loan from uniformed patrol to a narcotics task force that needed a new face for a couple of weeks. I bought...

Editor column: The Tribune’s photojournalists capture the moments of truth

Updated Jun 8, 2013 10:59PM MDT

What’s so hard about pointing a camera and pushing a button? This thought is at the heart of a recent decision by the Chicago Sun-Times to dismiss all 28 of its photographers. The Sun-Times, which has won two Pulitzer prizes for photography, instead plans to rely on its reporters, and on submissions from the public, to provide its local news photos. It’s not an entirely crazy notion. Many powerful news photos come from simply being in the right place at the right time. The grainy images of a j...

Long Pond, Pa. • Tony Stewart ducked through a tarp-covered tent in the garage and was off to the No. 14. “Make it two in a row, Tony!” a fan yelled as Stewart hustled through the Pocono Raceway garage. With a second practice session on tap, Stewart had little time Saturday to dissect why his car is suddenly one of the ones to beat. But it sure is. Stewart is coming off his first win of the season at Dover and his second straight top-10 finish, results that have thrust the three-time Cup champio...

Keep the case open

Updated Jun 6, 2013 05:49PM MDT

The case of Matthew David Stewart must not be allowed to die with him. The 39-year-old Stewart, facing charges of capital murder after a botched police raid on his Ogden home in January 2012, hanged himself in the Weber County Jail last month. He was reportedly despondent over the direction his case was taking in court, specifically a judge’s rejection of his attorney’s argument that the warrant carried by the heavily armed squad of police that burst into his home was based on false information...

Ogden • For many who attended a vigil for Matthew David Stewart on Wednesday evening, it was their own personal tragedies that tied them together. In any other circumstance, many of the people who lit candles in honor of the man accused of opening fire on Weber Morgan Strike Force officers serving a search warrant at his Jackson Avenue home on Jan. 4, 2012, would have never met one another. But Wednesday, as they remembered the Ogden man who committed suicide in jail May 24, they all shared stor...

Awakened by the sound of splintering wood and shattering glass, Matthew David Stewart assumed, he said all along, that his Ogden home was being invaded by bad guys and grabbed his gun. Meanwhile, members of the Weber Morgan Narcotics Strike Force filed inside the night of Jan. 4, 2012, expecting to find an unoccupied home with marijuana growing in the basement. Based on prior attempts to contact Stewart, police speculated no one was actually living at the untidy Jackson Avenue residence, accordi...

I agree with Connor Boyack in “Neither Stewart nor Francom had to die” (Opinion, June 1) about the death of Mathew Stewart. There is something wrong in Weber County. There is something wrong when a group of people (actually police) dressed in black break down the door of a private home in the middle of the night — when there is no threat of danger or physical violence to anyone, except the danger created by the men in black. And what was their motivation? A couple of marijuana plants? It sounds ...
