Homeless center under fire; rural county bounces back; a deaf teacher’s life lesson on ‘Behind the Headlines’

Salt Lake Tribune journalists discuss the week’s top stories.

(Bethany Baker | The Salt Lake Tribune) Emilee Segura, who received a cochlear implant after being born deaf, signs “thank you” to Lucy Bentley, 2, as Segura works with the Bentley family as an early intervention specialist for the Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind in their home in Orem on Friday, Sept. 29, 2023.

Salt Lake City businesses allege that a resource center for homeless individuals is under “gross mismanagement.” A rural Utah county “hit the panic button” when a big employer left. And a deaf Utah teacher shares videos about life with cochlear implants.

On Friday, Salt Lake Tribune reporters Jordan Miller, Shannon Sollitt and Palak Jayswal, along with news columnist Robert Gehrke, join Utah Public Radio’s Tom Williams to talk about the week’s top stories.
