Be a Little Bit Naughty at Lehi Art’s MATILDA
LEHI — Growing up, the books of Roald Dahl and the imagination behind them were very important in my household. Making a drive to Lehi to see Matilda the Musical at the Lehi Arts Council in Friday traffic may seem a bit crazy for a Northern Utahn, but since this is the year anniversary of my mother’s death and I have vivid memories of her reading the book to me, I take any opportunity I can to see the musical with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and a book by Dennis Kelly. The story follows young, brilliant Matilda, played the night I saw the show by Alicia Wright, as she struggles with the trauma of parents who do not love her, a principal who mistreats her, and powers that she cannot understand.

A man on death row for a 1998 murder asks Utah's parole board for mercy
Utah officials began hearing testimony Monday about whether a man facing execution next month should be spared the death penalty for murdering his girlfriend’s mother and instead remain imprisoned for life. The parole board hearing comes after state officials said Saturday that they no longer plan to use an untested combination of execution drugs that Taberon Dave Honie’s lawyers said could cause “excruciating pain.” They will use a single different drug instead — pentobarbital — which has been used by other states and in federal executions. The scheduled Aug. 8 execution would be Utah’s first since Ronnie Lee Gardner was killed by firing squad in 2010, according to the state Department of Corrections. Honie, members of his family and representatives of the victim, 49-year-old Claudia Benn, were expected to testify in the two-day hearing. Utah Board of Pardons & Parole Chairman Scott Stephenson said a decision would be made “as soon as practical” following the proceedings.
