Utah Jazz make their moves on first day of free agency: Bojan Bogdanovic in. Rubio, Favors out.

SALT LAKE CITY — NBA free agent negotiations officially opened up Sunday at 4 p.m. MT with fireworks already exploding in the professional basketball world well before Independence Day.

While the Brooklyn Nets stole the show early on with the signing of superstars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, the Utah Jazz also made another splash as they look to get over the hump by signing Indiana's Bojan Bogdanovic to a four-year, $73 million deal, which was first reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and confirmed by Deseret News sources.

Bogdanovic averaged a career-best 18.0 points and 4.1 rebounds last year for the Indiana Pacers while shooting 49.7% from the field and 42.5% from 3 in his sixth season.

The 30-year-old Croatian forward reportedly met with the Jazz on Sunday, according to The Athletic, on the first day of free agency.

A Deseret News source also confirmed that former Jazz floor general Ricky Rubio has agreed to a three-year, $51 million deal in Phoenix. The Athletic's Shams Charania was the first to break that deal.

Utah now has to decline the team option on veteran big man Derrick Favors, making him an unrestricted free agent. Favors' $16.9 million salary was set to guarantee on July 6 had the Jazz decided to exercise their team option.

Favors is drawing interest from several other teams in the league at just 27 years old after averaging 11.8 points and 7.4 rebounds on 58.6% shooting, while playing mostly out of position at power forward next to two-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert. He also posted a career-best effective field goal percentage (60.0) this season and ranks fourth in all-time rebounds in franchise history with 4,250 boards.

Utah was also reportedly interested in Nikola Mirotic, who was set to be offered a three-year, nearly $45 million deal in Utah, according to Marc Stein of the New York Times, before leaving the NBA for Euroleague club Barcelona in Spain. Washington Wizards restricted free agent Bobby Portis was another rumored target in Jazz land before talks fell through following the interest in Bogdanovic.

New Jazz general manager Justin Zanik vowed to be "aggressive" in the free agent market on draft night, just one day after agreeing to trade Kyle Korver, Jae Crowder, Grayson Allen and two first-round picks to Memphis for veteran floor general Mike Conley on Wednesday, June 19.

The Conley deal won't become official until July 6, but the Jazz will likely have to waive another player such as Raul Neto or Georges Niang from the roster to incorporate Conley's $32,511,623 salary into their cap space. The salary cap has been set at $109,140,000 for the 2019-20 season while the tax level for the 2019-20 season is $132,627,000. In order to make the current deal work, Utah needed the cap to jump to roughly $109.28 million, per Jeff Siegel of Early Bird Rights.

"We all know that anything can happen and I'm in that situation, too, so I try just to focus on my body, focus on my offseason and getting better and be ready for whatever comes next, whatever will be and I think I'll be ready so that's what I'm focused on," Neto told the Deseret News during a recent training session in California. "I'm not even thinking about all those trades and still there's some things that will happen for sure before the free agency so I just try to focus on what I can control."

Utah is coming off its third consecutive postseason appearance, finishing 50-32 this past season, before being bounced in the first round by the Houston Rockets. The Jazz have also owned a top-five defensive rating in the past three years, with the second-best defensive rating (105.2) in 2018-19, but the 14th ranked offense (110.3) is looking to improve with the recent additions of Conley and Bogdanovic.

This is just the start of the ultimate goal.

"I can feel it. It's always been on my mind," Gobert said of Utah's title pursuit. "I play every year to try to win. We feel like the planets are aligned and we will be there very soon."

Fire causes $40,000 in damage to Ogden church, no injuries reported

OGDEN — No injuries have been reported after firefighters extinguished a fire at a Latter-day Saints meetinghouse in Ogden Friday morning, according to Ogden Deputy Fire Chief Eric Bauman.

No one was inside the building when fire crews arrived at approximately 10:35 a.m. Upon arrival, firefighters reported smoke coming from inside the church at 550 E. 900 North.

Damage was estimated at $40,000 and was isolated to one church wing.

Because the fire was in a church, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the State Fire Marshal's Office are assisting in the investigation with Ogden's fire marshal.

"Anytime there's a fire in a church, they are involved," Bauman said.

The cause of the fire has not been determined.

Biden defends past civil rights record after Harris attack

Biden defends past civil rights record after Harris attack

CHICAGO — Joe Biden strongly defended his civil rights record on Friday, pledging to be a "president who stands against racism" and defiantly dismissing any suggestions otherwise.

Speaking to the Rev. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow PUSH Coalition, the white former vice president was working to repair the damage from a blistering attack from California Sen. Kamala Harris, the lone black woman in the 2020 presidential race. During Thursday's presidential debate , Harris criticized Biden for recently highlighting his decades-old work with segregationist senators and his opposition to public school busing during the 1970s — creating a dramatic and deeply personal breakout moment.

"I heard, and I listened to, and I respect Sen. Harris," Biden said. "But we all know that 30 seconds to 60 seconds on a campaign debate exchange can't do justice to a lifetime commitment to civil rights."

Biden has surged to the top of the Democratic pack arguing that he's best positioned to defeat President Donald Trump because he can build a broad coalition of support. Appearances such as the one with Jackson — his onetime rival in the 1988 Democratic presidential primary — will signal whether Harris' attack will chip into his support among African Americans. He acknowledged the critical role of black voters and labor unions on Friday, saying, "Y'all are the ones that brung me to the dance."

Biden pushed back against some of Harris' specific criticisms, including her argument that he once opposed busing. He said he was more opposed to federal intervention in busing than the practice itself.

"I never, never, never, ever opposed voluntary busing," Biden said, adding that he supported federal legislation to "address root causes of segregation in our schools" and that he was always "in favor of using federal authority to overcome state-initiated segregation" — even in bygone days when it wasn't popular.

But even while defending his own record, Biden still tempted controversy. He said he envisioned a society in which everyone realizes the "kid in the hoodie might be the next poet laureate and not a gangbanger."

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, a 2020 Democratic presidential rival, challenged Biden on his word choice, saying in a tweet that the issue was about more than just a hoodie.

"It's about a culture that sees a problem with a kid wearing a hoodie in the first place. Our nominee needs to have the language to talk about race in a far more constructive way," said Booker, who had pushed back against comments made by Biden a week earlier in which he nostalgically referenced the "civility" he maintained during his time in the Senate with two segregationist Democrats in the 1970s despite their vast distance in ideology.

California attorney Tom McInerney signed up to be on Biden's national finance team but said he notified the campaign this month that he was withdrawing his support. He pointed to what he called repeated missteps, including Biden's comments on segregationists and the former vice president's recent reversal on the Hyde Amendment, a long-standing congressional ban on using federal health care money to pay for abortions. His reversal — he now says he opposes the amendment — came after rivals and women's rights group blasted him for affirming through campaign aides that he still supported the decades-old budget provision.

"I have tremendous respect for the vice president. However, I just became increasingly troubled by his comments," McInerney said Friday. "It just seems like he wasn't thinking this through."

Biden's campaign offered no immediate comment on McInerney's withdrawal.

Also during Friday's event, Biden leaned heavily on being Barack Obama's vice president, something he didn't do as much during the debate, when Harris' relentless criticism often left him flustered and seemingly unsure of what to say.

"My president gets much too little credit for all that he did. He was one of the great presidents of the United States of America, and I'm tired of hearing about what he didn't do," Biden said of Obama.

Sylvia Chapman, 60, of Chicago, attended Biden's speech and said Thursday's confrontation between Harris and Biden was "just a few minutes of talk."

"You have to look at the whole picture, not just one chapter out of a book," said Chapman, who is black and is the president of a union local in Chicago. She said she's undecided about who to support in 2020, but Biden is among the top of her choices, along with Sens. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Harris.

Patricia Ousley, 69, a black retired state employee from the Chicago suburb of South Holland, cheered loudly when Biden told the crowd Obama doesn't get the credit he deserves. She says Biden's experience working alongside Obama is a big reason she may support him in 2020: "I love that."

Salt Lake's Olympic bid gets boost from new IOC selection process

SALT LAKE CITY — The chances of Salt Lake City getting another Winter Games got a boost Wednesday with the International Olympic Committee's move to a more flexible bidding process focused on finding enthusiastic host cities.

"It magnifies our strengths and we play right into what they're looking for," said Fraser Bullock, chief operating officer of the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City and a leader of the effort to bring the Olympics back. "It has to be when, not if."

Salt Lake City was selected late last year as the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee's choice to bid on behalf of the United States for an unspecified future Winter Games, possibly as soon as 2030.

FILE - Gov. Gary Herbert, center, talks with Fraser Bullock, chief operating officer of the 2002 Winter Games, after the USOC choose Salt Lake over Denver to bid on behalf of the US for future Winter Games. Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski held a press conference outside her office to announce the news at the City County Building Friday in Salt Lake City on Friday, Dec. 14, 2018.

Bullock said Salt Lake City will benefit from the new process because of the high level of public support, seen in a 2018 USOPC poll that found more than 80% of Utahns backed the bid.

IOC members meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, adopted a new process that does away with deadlines and other formalities just two days after naming Milan-Cortina in norther Italy as the host of the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Now, separate Winter and Summer Games commissions will be responsible for recommending and even recruiting future Olympic hosts, but only after gauging public support for an event with a price tag measured in billions of dollars.

"We can't, I suggest, continue to be damaged as we have been in the past," Australian IOC member John Coates said during his presentation on the process, referring to cities that have dropped their bids after losing at the polls.

Last November, voters in Calgary, Canada, rejected bidding for the 2026 Games, forcing the city to pull out of the running and increasing concern others might follow suit. That led to speculation the IOC could turn to Salt Lake City for 2026.

But Milan-Cortina and Stockholm, Sweden, stayed in the race. A factor cited in the Italian victory was greater support there for hosting an Olympics than in Sweden's capital, as determined by IOC polling.

What's being called the Future Host Commission should be satisfied there is solid support for a bid, including the needed legal and financial guarantees, before advancing it to IOC leaders, Coates said.

"We have to avoid too many losers," he said, repeating a statement first made by IOC President Thomas Bach when the decision was made to award two Summer Games at the same time, 2024 to Paris, and 2028 to Los Angeles.

That could mean the new commission sorts through bid cities and recommends one host now while others are encouraged to keep working toward the next Olympics or beyond, creating a pipeline of potential picks.

Just when those recommendations would come is also up to the new commission. The IOC's action Wednesday eliminated the language in the Olympic Charter requiring bid cities to be named seven years before the Games.

Changes also address other cities, regions and even countries being considered hosts and allowing for more existing facilities and infrastructure to cut the costs of an Olympics.

That came up in the competition to be named the U.S. Winter Games candidate when Denver proposed as an option holding some competitions in Utahinstead of building a bobsled, luge and skeleton track or other costly venues.

Coates told the IOC members that a bid with all of the competition venues close enough together that athletes can all be housed in a single Olympic village — as Salt Lake would do again in a future Games — is "utopia. That's what we want."

But he also made it clear that the strongest initial bid is not guaranteed a Games, after some IOC members raised concerns that without a more defined process, some cities not ready to bid right away could lose out.

"If they get one outstanding bid, I think it would be very wrong to suddenly present it" for quick approval, Coates said. Instead, a strong bid should be used to remind other cities they "need to get cracking."

Salt Lake City was not mentioned by name in Wednesday's discussion, but during a news conference later, Bach described Sapporo as a contender for 2030, after the Japanese city withdrew from the 2026 race following an earthquake.

"This city has our telephone number," Bach said when a Japanese reporter asked whether the new process offered any advantages to the bid. "We will, of course, look at different options. But it's also no secret" Sapporo intends to bid again.

The new process, Bach said, means "we can start having a conversation with Sapporo and other interested cities that have also already, in a more or less formal way, indicated their interest."

He also suggested Stockholm could come back for another bid.

Before the IOC starts talking with potential Olympic hosts, the details of the process need to be worked out and the members of the commissions named. Bullock said Salt Lake will wait for direction from the national Olympic committee.

"I don't believe the IOC is ready today to start a dialog but now they have a plan," he said, anticipating it will take several months to put the finishing touches on the new bid process.

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee had little to say about the specifics of what's next for Salt Lake City.

"We very much want to host the Olympic Winter Games again in the U.S., and when we believe the time is right, Salt Lake City will be our partner," spokesman Mark Jones said in a statement to the Deseret News.

Salt Lake City mayor issues budget vetoes over City Council's affordable housing approach

Salt Lake City mayor issues budget vetoes over City Council's affordable housing approach

SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski issued her first budget vetoes on Tuesday, contesting the City Council's budget approach to about $4 million in affordable housing and homelessness money — but her vetoes might be overridden.

While Biskupski argues the council's budget would slow down funding for housing and homelessness programs, City Council members say their budget did not slow down the process and would rather create a more streamlined and transparent process.

The City Council is expected to convene for a potential veto override session on Friday, according to a joint City Council statement issued Tuesday. In the statement, City Councilman Charlie Luke and City Councilwoman Amy Fowler, who is also chairwoman of the city's Redevelopment Agency, called Biskupski's vetoes "expected."

"This budget does not slow down the process, and we have confidence the RDA staff and other city agencies can move forward on the accelerated timeline we have for affordable housing," the statement said.

Biskupski in a veto statement sent to the City Council said while she and the council are committed to increasing affordable housing in the city, she worried the council's decision to shift about $2.6 million from the city's Housing Trust Fund to the Redevelopment Agency (a body controlled by the City Council) and contingencies placed on $1.9 million of funding for affordable housing programs would bog down the "critical" funding.

The mayor vetoed both line items.

"It is important to note, that while we may disagree on how we should move forward over the next year to address the housing crisis, we do not disagree that we must," Biskupski said.

The City Council during its budget deliberations supported Biskupski's allocations for affordable housing, but decided to move the city's Housing Trust Fund, which has been used to build or preserve affordable housing units, from the city's Housing and Neighborhood Development Division and put it under the control of the RDA so developers wouldn't need to submit multiple applications for funding.

The aim, after a yearlong trial period, would be to divide the trust fund in two, with the RDA controlling lending for housing development while the city's Housing and Neighborhood Development Division would control funding for housing programs.

To Biskupski, that move could slow down the process. She called the Housing Trust Fund already "transparent and effective," noting that every loan issued is first reviewed by an advisory board, then the City Council.

"Shifting the funding to the RDA through an as of yet (undefined) process will inevitably slow down the delivery of this critical financing," Biskupski said. "With the region poised to begin implementing a new service model for homelessness, now is not the time to create any delays in bringing additional affordable housing online."

Additionally, the City Council opted to put about $1.9 million for homelessness programs into a holding account, only to be released after the council could hash out more details with the mayor's administration on exactly how the money would be spent.

Biskupski argued against the hold on the money, saying there's an "immediate need" while pointing to the Road Home's New House 2020 program, which provides case management and housing assistance to people experiencing homelessness who are the highest users of emergency services.

"The council's decision to place funding in a holding account will jeopardize case management services because funding for this long-term program lapses June 30," the mayor said.

Luke and Fowler in Tuesday's statement said they look forward to discussing the issue during Friday's meeting.

"There are a number of inaccuracies in the mayor's veto statement, which we will address in detail," Luke and Fowler said.

A supermajority, or five out of seven votes, on the council is required to override the mayor's vetoes. The Salt Lake City Council unanimously approved the budget earlier this month.

Report: Ex-BYU star Jimmer Fredette to play for Golden State Warriors this summer

SALT LAKE CITY — Another door into the NBA has closed for Jimmer Fredette, but another one has opened.

The Phoenix Suns, under new management, will decline the player option on Fredette's three-year contract, making him an unrestricted free agent, The Athletic reported.

Though that stint didn't last long — the final month of the 2018-19 season — the Golden State Warriors are reportedly giving him an opportunity to keep his playing dreams alive. The Warriors are planning on signing the former BYU star and NCAA national player of the year their summer league squad, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Golden State will participate in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas next month. The Warriors' schedule has at least five games, including July 5 vs. Charlotte, July 6 vs. Toronto, July 8 vs. the Los Angeles Lakers, July 10 vs. Denver and the ensuing tournament.

Fredette struggled in his most recent NBA experience with Phoenix. He only averaged 3.7 points on 27.6 percent shooting in six games with the Suns at the end of last season.

Fredette previously played for Sacramento, Chicago, New Orleans and New York in the NBA, averaging 6.0 points and 1.3 assists in a limited role. He has shot just under 41 percent overall and 37.2 percent from 3-point range in the world's top league.

The 30-year-old was the 10th overall pick in the 2011 draft, but he's found his most success in China. He averaged almost 38 points a game for the Shanghai Sharks and was the CBA International MVP

Former Ute quarterback Alex Smith remains optimistic about future, hopes to play in NFL again

SALT LAKE CITY — The latest challenge in Alex Smith's football career isn't keeping him down as he takes a realistic approach to life after a gruesome leg injury.

The former Utah quarterback, now in his second year with the Washington Redskins, told Fox 5 DC's Angie Goff in his first interview since the injury that he hopes to play again after fracturing the tibia and fibula in his right leg during a Nov. 18, 2018, loss to the Houston Texans.

"That's the plan," Smith told Goff in her Oh My Goff podcast posted last Friday. "There are steps I've got to conquer before I get there. ... Learning to run again. That's a big one. I'm already throwing. Throwing isn't a problem, but dropping (back), moving around, change of direction."

The 35-year-old Smith, the first overall pick in the 2005 NFL draft, told Goff he will need to wear the external fixator that's stabilized his leg for at least four to six more weeks, putting him in the apparatus for around 7½ months.

That comes after Smith required multiple surgeries following the injury and was hospitalized longer than expected because of an infection that raised concerns his career could be over, according to The Washington Post.

Smith called the last three months "life-changing," as he's been able to start driving and working out while getting off crutches.

"The first four months were really, really hard" both physically and mentally, Smith told Goff. "Just to be in a wheelchair as long as I was. When you have independence and you lose it ... that was the hardest part."

He later added: "To be honest, what's helped me the most to get through this is just try to get through each day," while crediting his support staff — including his wife and doctors — for their help through the recovery process.

In response to Smith saying he hopes to play in the NFL again some day, former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann told 106.7 FM The Fan in Washington, D.C. it would be years before Smith returns, if he indeed does.

"In Alex's case, it is a long road, it is a tough road. And I would be surprised if he plays again just because of the age factor," Theismann told 106.7 The Fan. "When it comes to Alex's rehab, having gone through it, it's a two-year process. So, from the time he really starts to step back on a football field, you have to figure two years."

Smith completed 62.5 percent of his passes for 2,180 yards, 10 touchdowns and five interceptions last year before the injury during his first season in Washington. He signed a four-year, $94 million contract with the Redskins in 2018, with $71 million guaranteed, ESPN reported.

Since Smith was injured, Washington has traded for Case Keenum and taken former Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins with the 15th overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Those moves cloud what his role may be with the Redskins if and/or when he returns to the field.

Last month, Washington shared a picture of Smith, with the photo cropped at the knee, of the quarterback throwing a pass during an organized team activity session.

https://twitter.com/Redskins/status/1131611213090177025/photo/1

"He's recovering nicely, slowly but surely," Redskins head coach Jay Gruden told The Washington Post earlier this month. "It's going to be a little bit of time, but soon as he's able to, he'll push it and get himself ready. We'll just have to wait and see. It's going to be a pretty lengthy process, for the most part. Once he's able to go, he'll recover a lot quicker than people anticipate, I'm sure."

Last month, NBC Sports discussed the role Smith can play as a mentor to the other quarterbacks in Washington this season.

"He's a selfless guy," analyst Chris Simms said during a video segment. "It's easy to imagine him helping a young quarterback in the locker room, in the meeting room, whatever it may be. He's going to earn a lot of respect with the fact that, yeah he is injured and probably won't play this year but he's being paid a lot of money and he is trying to contribute in some way. That will go over big in the locker room and guys will give him much respect for doing that."

Smith is staying realistic throughout the recovery process.

"The steps I'm at now are lifestyle steps," he told Goff. "I'm still working on playing basketball with my kids and running around after my daughter. Those are things I have to conquer anyway until I get to the point where I'm walking on the field. I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited about that challenge. The stronger I get every week, the more I do, the more hopeful I am that that's a real possibility."

He's also kept in perspective his current situation, which has helped Smith stay positive.

"It's crazy looking and it sucks what happened, but at the same time, people out there have it way worse," he said. "Life happens, and for me, I feel like this is a time for me being tested and having a challenge in front of me, and how can I handle it?"

How this Utahn uses skills learned as Marine to combat African poaching

SALT LAKE CITY — Ryan Tate hates bad guys. Absolutely despises them. He especially dislikes it when they prey on the innocent and defenseless.

Two visceral reactions to bad men doing what they do set the course for Ryan's life.

The first was in 2001 when he was sitting in English class at the beginning of his junior year of high school in Tampa, Florida. Someone opened the door and said Miss Rodriguez should turn on the TV. She did, and Ryan, along with his classmates, watched as the second airplane hit the World Trade Center.

That very week he joined the Marine Corps. A little over a year later he graduated high school three months early and was in boot camp when the rest of his class was cleaning out their lockers.

He deployed to Iraq and was stationed in the city of Ramadi when Ramadi was considered the most dangerous place in the world. He was point man on his infantry unit, meaning when the door got kicked in he was the one kicking it. "Nonstop adrenaline," Ryan says, remembering those days weeding out the insurgents. "Adrenaline just pumps through your veins day and night. It was brutal, nonstop firefights and explosions and bombs, mortars, everything you can think of. It was the worst time of my life and the best time of my life at the same time."

In 2008 he came home, satisfied he'd done his part fighting terrorists, and now … well, that was the problem.

"They do a great job of teaching you how to be a Marine," he muses. "But they don't do the best job of teaching you how to act like a normal person when you get out."

He got a job working security for the U.S. State Department in New York City, making sure diplomats were safe going to and from the United Nations, but it was a little like taking an NFL running back and making him a crossing guard.

Then came the second momentous visceral reaction of Ryan's life.

He was watching TV when a documentary came on about poaching in Africa. He watched in horror as a rhinoceros had the horn hacked off its face.

"These poachers tranquilized this rhino, darted it, put it down, then hacked the face, it takes three hacks to get that horn off. Then that tranq wears off, the whole nasal cavity is exposed, there's bleeding, flesh everywhere, the rhino drops down on two legs, then one, then falls down and she dies.

"I cried like a baby. It was a straight punch to the stomach. All these emotions of war, these PTSD emotions I'd shoved into a jar and screwed the top on, that rhino unscrewed them. It wasn't a building getting hit by an airplane but I had a 9/11 moment again."

The question was what to do about it.

Which led to Ryan's epiphany.

Why not apply the soldiering skills he'd put to good use going after terrorists and use them to go after the bad guys destroying animals? And better yet, why not recruit other vets with similar skills — and their own transitional issues — to help him?

So that's what he did.

It wasn't easy and it wasn't without obstacles, but when a Marine puts his mind to something, doors open. Figuring it out as he went, Ryan put together a full-on, bonafide 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization he called VETPAW, an acronym for Veterans Empowered to Protect African Wildlife.

Skeptics saw a fly-by-night operation unlikely to last a season.

That was six years ago.

Some things that look good on paper look even better in real life. This was one of them. What Ryan thought might work did work. In all the ways he hoped.

"VETPAW is such a good transition for veterans getting out of the service," he says. "It's therapeutic, it's healing. You're not in a war for anything political, but to save a defenseless voiceless animal. That's powerful. That's a feel-good mission."

Not only has that enabled combat-seasoned vets to put their warfighting skills to use in a worthy cause, but they've been able to pass on those skills to park rangers at the nature preserves in Africa.

Ryan and his fellow vets teach the rangers about risk assessment, intelligence, battle tactics and how to think like a criminal "so you predict what they're going to do before they do it."

After starting out in Tanzania and Kenya, VETPAW (on the web at vetpaw.org) is now concentrated in South Africa, where Ryan is proud to say, "Not a single rhino or elephant has been lost in our preserves since we started."

Ryan spends over half the year in Africa, the other half conducting training camps, meeting with his board of trustees in New York City, and doing CEO stuff at the apartment he shares with his fianceé, Lauren Buckhammer, near Big Cottonwood Canyon here in Utah.

Lauren is a flight attendant with Delta who is stationed in Salt Lake City; Ryan joined her recently and plans to make Utah his permanent U.S. home.

"It's so beautiful," says Ryan, who has taken up skiing. "We love it; we're not ever leaving here."

He's not getting rich. He and Lauren share a car. His salary last year was $28,000. "I'm not one of the typical nonprofit scumbags who make a million a year," he says. "You don't get into this for money; what I get out of it is so much more than any money I could make.

"If we can take down al-Qaida and ISIS we can take down poachers. This is making a difference in the world."

Will Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert win Defensive Player of the Year again? Who will win the other NBA awards?

SALT LAKE CITY — More than two months after the NBA's regular season ended, the league's season awards will finally be handed out on Monday night in Los Angeles.

Unlike last year when the Utah Jazz had nominees for three of the six awards, the club only has one this year, as Rudy Gobert will be looking to win his second straight Defensive Player of the Year honor.

Nevertheless, here are our predictions for MVP, Rookie of the Year, Sixth Man Award, Most Improved Player and Coach of the Year in addition to Defensive Player of the Year.

MVP

The finalists:

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks

Paul George, Oklahoma City Thunder

James Harden, Houston Rockets

Predicted winner: Giannis Antetokounmpo

This is essentially a two-man race between Antetokounmpo and Harden. The reigning MVP, Harden had a historically great season offensively in carrying a Rockets team that had depth issues to begin with and then was depleted by injury for a good chunk of the campaign.

But Antetokounmpo gets the nod because of his work on both ends of the floor. In addition to finishing third in the league in scoring (Paul was second), the Greek Freak finished in the top 10 in rebounds and blocks as the Bucks finished with the NBA's best record.

Rookie of the Year

The finalists:

Deandre Ayton, Phoenix Suns

Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks

Trae Young, Atlanta Hawks

Predicted winner: Luka Doncic

This is another two-man race, but only because Young had a fantastic close to the season for the Hawks. In truth, Doncic should win comfortably, as he was tremendous all season long.

The 20-year-old from Slovenia did it all for Dallas, as he led the Mavericks in points, rebounds, assists and steals per game.

Sixth Man Award

The finalists:

Montrezl Harrell, LA Clippers

Domantas Sabonis, Indiana Pacers

Lou Williams, LA Clippers

Predicted winner: Lou Williams

The fact that there are two Clippers among the three finalists is a testament to how phenomenal the team's bench was as it led the league in bench scoring en route to a surprise run to the eighth seed in the brutal Western Conference.

Harrell was excellent, finishing in the top 10 among bench players in multiple categories, but perhaps this award needs to be renamed in honor of Williams. The 2018 winner (he also won it in 2015), Williams averaged almost exactly 20 points in less than 27 minutes per contest. He also led all bench players in assists per game at 5.4 and made 88 percent of his free throws.

Defensive Player of the Year

The finalists:

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks

Paul George, Oklahoma City Thunder

Rudy Gobert, Utah Jazz

Predicted winner: Rudy Gobert

One could make a legitimate case for Antetokounmpo to win, although there is some thought that voters wouldn't select him to win both DPOY and MVP. George was excellent defensively, too, and his two-way play is a big reason he was named an MVP finalist.

But once again, Gobert was simply dominant defensively in the 2018-2019 campaign. His raw numbers were great, as he was the only player in the NBA to finish in the top five in both blocks and rebounds per game, but more abstractly, teams had to game plan around his presence at the rim, and numerous coaches commented during the season about the number of shots the Stifle Tower still altered, even if he wasn't officially credited with a block.

Most Improved Player

The finalists:

De'Aaron Fox, Sacramento Kings

D'Angelo Russell, Brooklyn Nets

Pascal Siakam, Toronto Raptors

Predicted winner: Pascal Siakam

This is generally the toughest award to predict the winner for, but having finalists helps make an educated guess. Fox was great as the Kings did much better than many expected, but voters don't often choose second-year players, as it's expected they will make jumps from their rookie seasons. Russell was also fantastic in breaking out to lead the Nets to the playoffs.

But Siakam is the pick, as he finished second in scoring on a team that won 58 games in the regular season, more than doubling his output from last season in the process.

Coach of the Year

The finalists:

Mike Budenholzer, Milwaukee Bucks

Mike Malone, Denver Nuggets

Doc Rivers, LA Clippers

Predicted winner: Mike Budenholzer

The NBA saw a ton of excellent coaching performances during the 2018-2019 season, but these three are deserving of their status as semifinalists. Rivers deserves a ton of credit for guiding the Clippers to the eighth seed in the West without much star power and Malone's Nuggets surprised many by not only starting the season strong but staying among the West's elite despite a bevy of injuries.

But Budenholzer gets the nod after his first season in Milwaukee for guiding the Bucks to 16 more wins than last season despite having largely the same roster.

Salt Lake zoo officials trying to get leg up on giraffe's troubled toes

Salt Lake zoo officials trying to get leg up on giraffe's troubled toes

SALT LAKE CITY — When you weigh nearly a ton — and stand more than 14 feet tall — having healthy feet is a big deal. And that's why a couple of troubled toes on a deformed foot have caught a lot of attention at Utah's Hogle Zoo.

"They're infected, they're breaking down a little bit," said veterinarian Dr. Nancy Carpenter during a treatment session in March.

Kipenze broke one toe bone, or claw, many years ago. But the giraffe apparently began shifting her weight to another claw and it led to damage in that one, too.

John Hollenhorst, Deseret News

Kipenze broke one toe bone, or claw, many years ago. But the giraffe apparently began shifting her weight to another claw and it led to damage in that one, too.

The unhealthy foot belongs to Kipenze, otherwise known as Kip, a giraffe. Roughly a year ago, zoo veterinarians realized Kip's toes were in trouble.

"We want to try to nip that infection in the bud before it goes potentially up further (on) her leg," said another Hogle Zoo vet, Dr. Erika Crook.

At any zoo, keeping animals healthy is one of the biggest challenges. But Hogle Zoo's veterinary and zookeeping staff has had to use innovative treatments in an unprecedented effort — it's biggest ever — to help just one animal.

"This is a huge commitment of staff resources," said Carpenter, who is the zoo's director of animal health.

Kip broke one toe bone, or claw, many years ago; no one is sure exactly how that happened. But she apparently began shifting her weight to another claw and it led to damage in that one, too.

Zookeepers and veterinarians at Utah's Hogle Zoo apply germ-fighting medications Kipenze's foot. The giraffe broke one toe bone, or claw, many years ago. But she apparently began shifting her weight to another claw and it led to damage in that one, too.

It's a bit like a flat tire on the right rear; it's a problem but Kip is able to keep driving on it and lead a relatively normal life.

"She definitely has a hitch in her giddyup," Crook said. "But it hasn't stopped her from interacting with the herd, going out on bright sunny days."

But the flat tire needs to be fixed. For one thing, the claws are growing too fast.

"We had been trimming the foot quite regularly for many, many years," Carpenter said. "So all of a sudden, for whatever reason, the hoof started growing quite quickly and we were having trouble keeping up with the trimming."

In March, vets installed an IV catheter high up in Kip's neck, about 10 feet above the ground.

"We wanted to give her antibiotics through a vein rather than orally," Carpenter explained. Later they implanted a second catheter and it fed antibiotics for a month. "Which is the first time that's ever been done in a giraffe, as far as we know," Carpenter said.

In March Hogle Zoo brought in an out-of-state expert on stem cells. Dr. Valerie Johnson, of Colorado State University, cultivated stem cells from another giraffe and injected them into Kip, hoping it would dampen inflammation, fight infection and repair tissues. She described it as an experimental treatment.

In March, veterinarians at Utah's Hogle Zoo installed an IV catheter high up in Kipenze's neck, about 10 feet above the ground so they could treat the giraffe's foot with antibiotics through a vein rather than orally.

In March, veterinarians at Utah's Hogle Zoo installed an IV catheter high up in Kipenze's neck, about 10 feet above the ground so they could treat the giraffe's foot with antibiotics through a vein rather than orally.

"I would say that we have certainly seen some pretty difficult cases that responded amazingly to these cells," Johnson said. "However, that is not always the case."

The zookeepers and veterinarians have continued doing other treatments every day or two for many months, applying germ-fighting medications directly to Kip's foot. They also are doing experimental treatments with a laser, bathing the foot regularly with rose-colored light.

After all that attention over many months, the deterioration of the foot seems to have stopped, but Kip certainly isn't cured.

"We have seen improvements," Carpenter said, "but more so, we have seen stabilization."

If Kip's health doesn't deteriorate, Carpenter believes the giraffe could live another 10 or 20 years.

"She's 15 now," Carpenter said. "We certainly hope that she'll live a good long life. And she is certainly, at this age, worth working on quite a bit longer."

Utah resort towns face major challenges due to growing popularity

Utah resort towns face major challenges due to growing popularity

Utah resort towns face major challenges due to growing popularity

SALT LAKE CITY — From snarled traffic to housing shortage to nosiy nights, the growing popularity of three of the Beehive State's top tourist destinations has created a number of challenges that threaten to diminish livability for those who call those locales home.

Last week, civic leaders from Park City, Moab and St. George came to Utah's Capitol to tell members of the Legislature's Political Subdivisions Interim Committee about some of the development challenges that are occurring in their communities.

Their stories caught the attention of committee Chairman Rep. Steve Handy, R-Layton.

It's "a huge eye-opener for all of us to better understand the unique challenges that resort communities face," Handy said.

Park City and the act of balancing needs

Roads under construction in the Park City Heights development in Park City are pictured on Wednesday, June 19, 2019.

Park City is one of the state's most recognizable places, boasting world-class recreation, dining, shopping and entertainment. But the city of 8,000 residents is also known for its high-end housing and high cost of living, both of which have generated significant issues, according to civic leaders, who are trying to develop solutions for the growing problems that imperil the long-term viability of the former sleepy mining town turned outdoor and vacation haven.

"As it's grown, it's started to really impact the balance we have between tourism and our residents," said Park City Mayor Andy Beerman. "We're relatively 'built out' as a town, so my main role as mayor is to work on mitigating those impacts of tourism and our growth."

He said much of his work revolves around developing transportation and affordable housing solutions that can help visitors to Park City and the people who live and work there.

"We've been aggressively building our bus rapid transit route where we're running buses down the sides of our roads — electric buses mostly — running on a 10-minute frequency," he explained.

The transit system provides some convenience for tourists and some workers, but isn't particularly convenient for local residents, he noted. A near-term goal is to have the system be more user-friendly for people who live in town, he added.

Beerman told lawmakers that just 15 percent of people who work in Park City reside there, which means about 15,000 people commute in and out of town daily. Because the cost of living is so high, the vast majority of the workforce can't afford to live in the city which has caused a crisis for local businesses, he said.

"Almost all of our businesses have fewer staff than they want or need, including our large resorts," he said. The city is working to address the issue of affordability by implementing a plan to build 800 housing units by 2026, he noted, in conjunction with local nonprofit partners and businesses.

How they reach that goal is still undetermined due to the complicated nature of the problem, he said.

"That's (the) challenge as the mayor and the City Council. How do we strike that balance?" Beerman said. "We don't want to kill our economy, which is tourism. On the other hand, we want to save the soul of our town, which is community."

He said the initial effort will be to take the money from tourism and reinvest it into the community in a positive way, he said.

Moab eyes options to help locals

Another high-profile resort locale, Moab, has been struggling with fast-growing tourism and even faster-rising housing costs for locals. City Councilwoman Karen Guzman-Newton told the legislative panel that tourism growth has dramatically impacted the small rural community of 5,000, making life for locals more challenging in many of the same ways as Park City with high housing costs and traffic and infrastructure issues.

"Public transportation is something (the Legislature) could help us figure out," she said. There is also the matter of a state law that precludes local municipalities from regulating overnight rentals like Airbnb that have taken away housing options for local workers, she said.

"We don't want to take any more housing stock from our full-time residents because it's already such an issue," she said. The city hopes to apply for grants to help incentivize developers to come into the area and consider building units with an affordability component, she added.

Moab city manager Joe Linares said lawmakers could help rural communities like Moab by reconsidering the tax structure to allow changes that could help cities generate enough revenue to pay for infrastructure and other amenities that would support residents who live there and tourists who visit.

"The hard part is finding the balance between residents and their quality of life and letting tourists come in and take advantage of what we have in the area," he said. "It's public lands — everyone's lands. We really value them coming and want them to keep coming, but there are problems that we run into."

Linares also talked about recent law changes that allow ATVs to be driven on city streets. The off-road vehicles make noise into the late night hours, he said, and have "created havoc" for locals, prompting some hotels to issue earplugs to patrons.

"I believe the Legislature will be very open to promoting public policy and changes in the state code as necessary to accommodate them," Handy said. "For example, those of us who voted for the various bills over the past few years to make ATVs and UTVs 'street legal' didn't fully appreciate the challenges and unintended consequences that have been heaped upon Moab, and I think it would be reasonable to give them some sort of carve out."

The lawmaker said Moab residents and those who aren't into motorized off-road vehicles should be able to maintain a peaceful and quiet downtown, adding that he's personally interested in working with local leaders to figure something out.

Civic leaders are already working with the Utah Department of Transportation on a widening project along U.S. Route 191 — which runs through the center of town — due to increasing congestion.

"At this point, we need it widened because it can take you an hour-and-a-half to go from Arches (National Park) into town at the end of the day," Linares said.

St. George's transportation puzzle to Zion

Meanwhile, St. George Mayor Jon Pike said his city needs help with transportation into Zion National Park and would like the Legislature to split the estimated $30 million cost of developing a transit shuttle between his community and Springdale.

"To get as many people as we can those 50 miles and avoid all those cars," he said. In recent years, Washington County's largest city has seen tourism grow significantly and civic leaders want to be proactive in mitigating what they see as a potential traffic and environmental problem in the years ahead.

"We want the experience (of going to Zion) to be good," he said. "We don't have the same problem Moab does. But if we don't figure out a (transportation solution), then down the road we're going have to build wider and wider roads, it's going to cost more money and we're going to have more pollution."

The Utah League of Cities and Towns, a nonpartisan organization that advocates for local municipalities, supports lawmakers' willingness to look into the challenges that resort communities are dealing with.

"These cities really are some of the biggest economic drivers in our state," said Rachel Ott, director of government relations. "There are ways the Legislature can help these communities mitigate some of these challenges to preserve the quality of life for residents and the visitor experience."

Marijuana, THC devices found with man who purposely hit 11-year-old, police say

DRAPER — A 19-year-old man who police say purposely ran over an 11-year-old girl told witnesses and police he used drugs and was suicidal prior to the crash, according to newly unsealed search warrants.

Steven Becky, of Draper, was charged June 6 in 4th District Court with attempted aggravated murder, a first-degree felony; operating a vehicle negligently causing serious injury, a second-degree felony; drug distribution, a third-degree felony; drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia, both class B misdemeanors.

On May 31, police say Becky purposely drove his car into an 11-year-old girl who was walking her scooter up a hill near 15051 S. Winged Bluff Lane in Draper. Home surveillance video recorded Becky making a "sharp right turn" with his car, as if he were targeting the girl, according to charging documents.

The girl was treated at a local hospital for "a traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemmorage, pelvic fractures and multiple abrasions," the charges state.

When interviewed by police, investigators noted he was "acting emotionally erratic" and claimed that "he didn't see the child but indicated that he didn't like the child because she's white" and that he hit her "because of her race," according to the charges.

"The officer again asked Becky why he hurt the child and he indicated that he wanted to help her escape and that he didn't want her to grow up sad and depressed and that 'we all have to die,'" investigators wrote in the court documents.

Becky told investigators he had used methamphetamine, psychedelic mushrooms and acid, charges state.

According to three new search warrant affidavits, an utterance was also made at the crash scene about Xanax (alprazolam), and marijuana being used. Inside Becky's wrecked car, police found numerous THC vaping items, marijuana, rolling papers, two black plastic test tubes with an unknown green liquid substance and brass knuckles.

A second warrant collected five vials of blood and one vial of urine of Becky to be tested. As of Friday, the results of those tests were still pending.

A third warrant collected data from Becky's cellphone so West Jordan police could create "a timeline of phone events showing location, content, date and time, taken from before and after the crash," to determine if use of the phone was a factor in the crash or if any contributing evidence could be found.

Becky's next court hearing is scheduled for July 9.

Nonstop flights to Asia from Salt Lake City on Delta's 'drawing board' when new airport is finished

SALT LAKE CITY — Delta Air Lines sees its future hub in Salt Lake City International Airport's redesign as a key stepping stone in its mission to solidify its foothold in the international market.

And nonstop flights to Asia are likely part of that plan, according to an airline official.

Salt Lake City has been Delta's "fastest growing large hub" in recent years, and the city's airport rebuild is helping the airline set its sights on expanding global air connections, Joe Esposito, Delta's senior vice president of network planning, told the Salt Lake City Airport Advisory Board this week.

That could include nonstop flights to Asia when the city's massive, $3.6 billion redevelopment project is complete, he said. The first phase of the project is slated to open in 2020.

"We've been growing our U.S. position pretty rapidly for the past 10 years, and now we're starting to pivot more toward international service," Esposito said.

Salt Lake City's new airport will provide more gates for international flights, and Delta is eying nonstop flights from Salt Lake City to Seoul, South Korea, Esposito said.

"The Asian market here is actually fairly large," he said, adding that nonstop service to Seoul is "on our drawing board" and will likely be possible in "the next few years."

A nonstop flight to Seoul would join other nonstop flights Delta has begun to offer, including flights to London, Amsterdam, Paris and Mexico City.

"We're really expanding the market position here on the international side," Esposito said.

Delta has been investing "billions" in redevelopment projects not only Salt Lake City, but also in Seattle and Los Angeles, aiming to expand air connections in the western United States.

Since 2014, Delta's capacity has grown by more than 30 percent, Esposito said, adding 11 new destinations and 10 nonstop international destinations. On top of that, 14 destinations through Delta can only be reached through Salt Lake City, making Utah's capital "a great transit point for east and west" customers, as well as for international travelers, Esposito said.

Meanwhile, Delta is transitioning to larger aircraft, planning to retire almost all small, 50-seat planes. Delta is also planning on using the new 110-seat Airbus A220, which features wide seats and large windows, he said.

Delta delivers more than 300 flights to 100 destinations on a daily basis. It's Salt Lake City's largest airline, operating more than half of all departing flights from the city's airport.

Last year alone, Salt Lake City International Airport connected a record 25 million passengers. But as the airport continues to serve more and more passengers, it's operating with facilities designed 50 years ago, intended for half as many travelers.

The airport's redesign has been pegged as a "once-in-a-lifetime" project — and one that will result in one of the "best airports in the U.S.," Bill Wyatt, executive director of Salt Lake City's Department of Airports, has said.

Once the project is complete — including a new south concourse set to open in 2020 and a north concourse slated for 2024 — theSalt Lake airport will be "vastly more efficient" and will have the ability to expand gate capacity in the future "virtually as far as the eye can see," Wyatt has said.

The project is being completely funded through the airport's self-sustaining fund, so no taxpayer dollars are paying for the project, airport officials have said.
