US bill would allow the American flag to fly atop Utah County mountain once again
PROVO — A new federal bill has been introduced that aims to restore a 20-year tradition at Kyhv Peak cut short by a federal land policy three years ago. Rep. John Curtis on Tuesday introduced HR9095, or Star-Spangled Summit Act, that would allow for the American flag to fly atop Kyhv Peak in Utah County. It's a direct response to a tradition that resident Robert Collins led, where he'd summit the mountain each summer and place the U.S. flag atop it — that was until the U.S. Forest Service said it may violate federal land policy.

FRINGE: Sometimes Poignant SPIRAL BOUND is Worth a Look.
SALT LAKE CITY — I saw Spiral Bound at the Salt Lake Fringe Festival on Saturday, July 27th. Honestly, this play, written by Madelyn Salazar, was amazing. I really enjoyed so much about it, particularly the use of special effects. Throughout the play, Martha (played by June Rose) says her phone is trying to kill her (it plays this awful doomsday notice whenever she looks at it), and during a dream sequence later on, the lights become red as the actors shout out doomsday-like headlines about climate change, gun violence, etc. There’s the scene where Martha is on a date with Ben (played by Michael Henry Davies) and the lights have this cool, yellow tone with insect sound effects to indicate the time of day. There are also multiple prop changes, that while small, are extremely effective.
