It's tough to follow the news when you're finally off the clock and have time for yourself and your family. Rewind will help you catch up with all the happenings in Utah over the weekend.
LDS meeting: Feminists seeking change find it in subtle wording • Mormon feminists may have been surprised by some subtle changes in vocabulary and approach Saturday night at the general women's meeting for all LDS females age 8 and older. Dieter F. Uchtdorf addressed the female audience — sitting in the giant Conference Center in downtown Salt Lake City or watching via satellite in LDS chapels across the globe — not just as "sisters" but also as "blessed disciples of Jesus Christ."
Gay marriage case shows basic split in approach by Utah a.g. candidates • Attorney General Sean Reyes says he has a duty to defend Utah's ban on same-sex marriage, his personal and legal opinion notwithstanding. His challenger, Charles Stormont, says it is a foolhardy waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer money arguing for a law that is clearly unconstitutional.
Vineyard: Utah's small town with a BIG FUTURE • Wayne Holdaway is like many old-timers who never imagined the future that is swiftly unfolding just to the north where Utah's Geneva Steel once stood. In a few short years, a huge development at the site will transform his hometown with a pulsing 1,700-acre complex of houses, apartments, town homes, stores, offices, factories, school buildings and a new town center.
Utah mom joins protest, tells feds to reduce painkiller deaths • Monday would have been Josh Kresser's 33rd birthday. Instead, Tuesday is the eighth anniversary of the day he died of an overdose after taking three drugs precisely as a doctor prescribed. The reality of his death — and the 2 1/2 years of addiction hell that preceded it — still anger his mother, Sandra Kresser of Salt Lake City.
Does air quality suffer as Utah moves more oil by rail? • Thanks to new infrastructure, Utah crude is being shipped out of state in large quantities for the first time, opening new markets for the Uinta Basin's distinctive waxy product. State officials are eager to see alternatives for transporting the basin's surging production, and competing proposals for a pipeline and railway are in the works. But the lack of current permits alarms environmentalists because transferring oil can release volatile organic compounds and other pollutants.
Controversial activist named head of Equality Utah • Last legislative session, Troy Williams was escorted out of the Utah State Capitol in handcuffs. Salt Lake's "gay mayor" was protesting the Legislature's refusal to hear a bill that would outlaw discrimination against people based on sexual orientation. For Williams, who for years has been known for his vocal — and sometimes radical — activism, it was just another day.
