3 hikers die in Utah parks as triple-digit temperatures linger in western US
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Three hikers died over the weekend in suspected cases at state and national parks in Utah, including a father and daughter who got lost on a strenuous hike in Canyonlands National Park in triple-digit temperatures. The daughter, 23, and her father, 52, sent a 911 text alerting dispatchers that they were lost and had run out of water while hiking the 8.1 miles (13 kilometers) Syncline Loop, described by the National Park Service as the most challenging trail in the Island in the Sky district of the southeast Utah park. The pair set out Friday to navigate steep switchbacks and scramble through boulder fields with limited trail markers as the air temperature surpassed 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius). Park rangers and a helicopter crew with the Bureau of Land Management began their search for the lost hikers in the early evening Friday, but found them already dead. The San Juan County Sheriff’s Office identified them on Monday as Albino Herrera Espinoza and his daughter, Beatriz Herrera, of Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Drowsy Chaperone is No Accident at Sugar Factory
MIDALE — It’s always interesting as a theatre critic and patron to see how different shows evolve over the years. For example, I first saw The Drowsy Chaperone in 2006 when it was in previews on Broadway. I loved it and laughed hysterically throughout. That original production went on to win five Tony awards and be a huge critical and commercial success. Since then, I have seen it many times and the companies that staged the musical have continued to tweak it, changing the songs, tone and jokes. The Sugar Factory Playhouse‘s production had some of the biggest changes I’ve seen, but it maintained that hilarious heart and soul I fell in love with in 2006, and makes for a delightful night of theatre for any musical lover.
