Salt Lake Crawler
Glen Warchol
I've been a newspaperman for nearly three decades and have done hard time at United Press International; small dailies and nasty alternative newspapers, including the Observer in Dallas. In some bizarre convulsion of fate, I joined a few other twisted gentiles at the Deseret News for a few years. Along the way, I reproduced twice. I live in Salt Lake's historic refinery district with my current wife Mary Brown Malouf, another journalist. Now, I'm on a new adventure on the Internet-where the best things in life are (mostly) free.

Too many hats for Penfold?

Some gay activists are calling for SLC's first openly gay Councilman Stan Penfold to step down from his day job as executive director of the Utah Aids Foundation. In a petition, they say Penfold is stretched too thin to do his $68,000-a-year UAF job well. Penfold has no plans to resign.

It couldn't happen here. Lee Davidson at the Deseret News brings a tale of modern-day slavery and human trafficking -- in Milford and Delta, Utah. The U.S. Department of Justice is investigation what could be part of the largest human-trafficking case in U.S. history.

Progressives? Pitui! The Coalition of Utah Progressives has called for the summit on immigration at the Centro Civico Mexicano in SLC. Unfortunately, most of Utah's congressional delegation and candidates for their seats won't be there--a snub that may or may not play well in the coming election.

Tug boats in the sky. A Bountiful company that had hoped to build and launch a nuclear-powered "space tug" that would repair and reposition communications satellites appears hurtling toward a very down-to-earth end. Robert and Sylvia D’Ausilio of Bountiful face charges of communications fraud and the company faces bankruptcy.
