Deseret News · Lehi, UT
Nearby: Lehi, UTMelissa Dalton-Bradford traces her civic awakening to walking the streets of Salzburg, Austria, as a teenager in the 1970s. She remembers seeing old women in dark green army coats wearing black bands around their arms. “It was everywhere I went,” she recalled on a September morning over avocado toast at a restaurant in Lehi, Utah. She later learned that the bands commemorated loved ones who had died in World War II, a visible reminder of the difficult history carried by a generation that had lived through the Nazi era and devastation of war. I first met Dalton-Bradford and her family on a beach during my honeymoon more than a decade ago. I’d followed her work from afar ever since, but this was the first time we’d sat down together for a conversation. For much of Dalton-Bradford’s life, her sense of civic responsibility to her home country had unfolded away from it.
Deseret News · Sandy, UT
Nearby: Sandy, UTGail Miller never thought she’d own a professional women’s sports team again. Over two decades after she and her husband’s WNBA team, the Utah Starzz, moved to San Antonio, Miller reentered the world of women’s sports when The Larry H. Miller Company purchased the NWSL’s Utah Royals FC, along with MLS’s Real Salt Lake, in April 2025. A year later, Miller’s Royals play the Washington Spirit in the semifinals of the NWSL playoffs on Saturday — just two wins shy of the team’s first NWSL championship. Miller was there for the No. 7 Royals’ upset of No. 2 San Diego Wave FC in the quarterfinals. “Oh, it was electric,” she told the Deseret News. “It was so fun to be in an opposing stadium with a win, and especially after how well they played. That’s a big field to defend, and then to be aggressive too, it really showed their talent. It was fun to be there.” On the eve of the Royals’ semifinal match, the Deseret News sat down with Miller at The Larry H. Miller Company office in Sandy, Utah.
Deseret News · Park City, UT
Nearby: Park City, UTIf you like Indian food or are interested in trying Indian food, Yelp offers an idea of where to start. Mumbai House in Park City, Utah, recently claimed the No. 2 spot on Yelp’s list of the Top 100 Indian Restaurants in the country. How did a Utah restaurant beat out the likes of restaurants in New York City or California to claim one of the top spots? It comes down to quality and hospitality. “Whoever walks through those doors is the reason why our kids get fed,” said Dilpreet Toor, one of the partners at Mumbai House. ”They are a god-like figure for us, each and every person that walks through those doors for us. And then the biggest thing is our customers’ health is main priority for us. And if we cannot serve it to our kids, we do not serve it to our customers. So the ingredients we use, the love we put into the food is far beyond what people can imagine.” It’s been compared to major, acclaimed restaurants like Dishoom in London or Rasika in Washington, D.C.

Nearby: Salt Lake City, UTEditor’s note: This story has been updated since the flight stoppage was lifted. The Utah Mammoth’s game with the San Jose Sharks Saturday should not be impacted by the Federal Aviation Administration’s flight stoppage. A flight was originally scheduled to take the Sharks to Salt Lake City at 1:10 p.m. PST Friday, just minutes after the flight stoppage came into effect. According to Sharks Hockey Digest,, the team deplaned rather than waiting for clearance. The Sharks confirmed to the Deseret News at 7:17 p.m. MT that they have been cleared to fly. Another consideration in the situation is the on-ice officials scheduled to work the game. Unlike NHL teams, they fly on commercial flights to get from one city to the next. Longtime NHL media personality John Shannon reported Friday evening that all referees for Saturday’s 14 NHL games made it to the cities to which they’re assigned.

Nearby: Tooele, UTDaoust prides himself on versatility in his shop after 23 years of experience. Erich Daoust, owner and operator of Black Elk Tattoo in Tooele, brought more than 20 years of experience to the table when he opened the studio’s doors four years ago. Daoust grew up in Heber City, Utah, during the 1980s and 1990s, which, as he explained, “led me to promptly want to move from that place, being a non-member of the church.” After moving to and spending a year in Salt Lake City, Daoust eventually relocated to Eugene, Oregon, where he began his first tattoo apprenticeship. After two years at that shop, he moved to another studio in Eugene to help open a new location in 1996 called High Priestess. After spending eight or nine years with the studio, he moved to Crimson Torch, where he worked alongside well-known local tattoo artist Joshua Carlton for approximately eight months. After Daoust’s wife accepted a position with Primary Children’s Hospital, the family moved back to Utah in 2013.
