Top stories this past weekend
From immigration hard-liner to compassionate conservative •The changing heart of Stephen Sandstrom hinged on meeting a teenager named Sara who told him she had been brought from Mexico without papers at the age of 3. " 'I am an American,' she told me. I thought about it and, for all intents and purposes, she is," he said. So the man who had cozied up to anti-illegal-immigration firebrand Russell Pearce, blasted The Utah Compact's push for a compassionate approach as disingenuous and had become Utah's face for a strict enforcement-only approach suddenly found himself looking into the eyes of despair. And Sandstrom blinked.
Who has Utah patients' health data, and is it secure? • Corky Shill isn't sure who is most to blame for her husband's Social Security number being compromised. Utah technology and health officials failed to safeguard the Medicaid server that hackers broke into last month. But a hospital, doctor or billing company somewhere is also at fault, she says, for sending her husband's information to the server with no good reason. "Who else has my information and how is it being used?" she wonders. Turns out, there's no simple answer.
Steve Powell a puzzle to friends, family • Throughout his life, Steven Craig Powell has played convincing roles on the stage of public opinion: the doting husband and father, the songwriter inspired by a rocky childhood, the friendly neighbor ready to lend a hand, the seasoned salesman. Yet those who have known the 62-year-old father-in-law of missing West Valley City woman Susan Cox Powell best say they also have witnessed a darker spectrum of behavior. As he goes on trial in Washington state Monday, it's unclear which version of his character jurors will believe.
Utah to have nation's first 72-hour abortion waiting period • Come Tuesday, Utah will become the only state in the nation with a law requiring a woman to wait 72 hours for an abortion. "For some people that may be a point of celebration," said Planned Parenthood of Utah Director Karrie Galloway. "For others it may be a point of heartache." HB461 is one of 331 laws passed by the 2012 Legislature that kick in Tuesday — and for some it is the most controversial.
New study: Colorado River key for jobs, revenue • Imagine life in Utah without the spectacular recreational opportunities the Colorado River and its tributaries provide — whether they be boating, fishing, hiking or picnicking nearby. A new study places a dollar value — $26 billion — on the river's worth to recreation-related industries in the six-state region through which it flows.
