Provo is a city in Utah and the county seat of Utah County, located about 50 miles south of Salt Lake City along the Wasatch Front. It lies between the cities of Orem to the north and Springville to the south. It is perhaps best-known as home of Brigham Young University. Settled in 1849 by 33 families from Salt Lake City, Provo has grown to a population of 105,166 as of the 2000 Census, making it the third-largest city in the state. A 2005 U.S. Census Bureau estimate placed its population at 113,459[1], which would make it the second-largest city in Utah, barely surpassing West Valley City. The Provo-Orem Metropolitan Area, consisting of Utah County has 412,361 residents. The site was named Fort Utah by the Mormon settlers, but re-named Provo in 1850 for Étienne Provost, an early French-Canadian trapper who arrived in the region in 1825. -- Source: Wikipedia.com

News flash: e-billboards may be welcome in Salt Lake City

By Derek P. Jensen The Salt Lake Tribune
Published Dec 12, 2011 07:33PM MDT
Billboards could be allowed to flash in Salt Lake City after all — just not as often as the industry prefers and not near residential neighborhoods. Mayor Ralph Becker is proposing a compromise on electronic billboards. They would be OK in manufacturing zones and along large commercial corridors. But if a company wanted one, it would have to take down one of its existing traditional billboards so there would be no net increase. If the City Council greenlights the e-billboard proposal — a brief...

David Morales, the West Valley City man arrested on his way to Bible college by federal authorities for being in the country illegally, said on Facebook Monday he will be granted residency in four days. But then, in another post 12 hours later, he wrote a long missive explaining he was still facing deportation and that he believed an immigration judge wouldn’t deport him based on a sermon he was watching at Ministerios Vida Nueva. “Last night while in service at Ministerios Vida Nueva, a Pastor...

ACLU wants new investigation into Roosevelt police pepper spraying Haka dancers

By nate carlisle The Salt Lake Tribune

The American Civil Liberties Union on Monday called for the Duchesne County Attorney to investigate how two Roosevelt police officers used pepper spray on football fans dancing the Haka. The ACLU said it wanted an independent investigation because it was unsatisfied with the review by the Roosevelt police. ACLU of Utah interim legal director Joe Cohn said the police review, which cleared the officers of any wrongdoing, ignored witnesses who said they did not think the Haka dancers were aggress...

Walmart robber gets up to 15 years in prison

Published Dec 5, 2011 04:35PM MDT

Trent Allen Longton, 25, was sentenced Monday in 2nd District Court to one to 15 years in prison for the January robbery.

State officials are cautioning homeowners and business owners recovering from the damaging wind storms in Davis, Weber and Salt Lake counties not to fall victim to con artists.

Orem’s new mayor: I’m listening

By Donald W. Meyers The Salt Lake Tribune
Published Dec 5, 2011 02:14PM MDT
Orem • Right now, he is the Frasier Crane of Utah mayors. Like the TV sitcom’s beloved psychiatrist, he is listening — to folks for and against a planned library expansion, to ideas for turning around a troubled fiber-optic network, to notions about how to boost business in a bruised economy, to anyone who has anything to say about how to improve Orem. In fact, James T. Evans’ listening tour started soon after the City Council named him mayor. During the yuletide lighting at City Hall, a woman b...

‘Varmint’ hunting guide gets inside the heads of wily coyotes

By christopher smart The Salt Lake Tribune
Published Dec 5, 2011 11:12PM MDT
Vernon • They have complex social structures, multi-layered vocabularies and are shrewd predators. Bill Keebler has taught himself a lot about coyotes. And, for a price, the Tooele County outfitter will guide would-be coyote sport hunters to the hard-to-find animals that legally can be shot year-round. The best time for hunting coyotes is winter, Keebler said. Their coats are thicker for hunters seeking a trophy. And because food is more scarce, the normally nocturnal animals spend more dayligh...

Utahns’ health isn’t declining or improving: The state is the nation’s seventh healthiest state, according to the 22nd annual America’s Health Rankings. That’s the same rank as last year.
