That’s because the area is a crucial touchpoint for what port authority executive director Jack Hedge called the “cold chain” — a network of refrigerated warehouses, storage facilities and trucks meant to move frozen goods from point A to point B. Today, Utah’s cold chain corridors mainly move seafood from the Pacific Northwest, produce from California, and...…SHARESALT LAKE CITY — As state officials and health care providers gear up for early distribution of Utah’s first batches of COVID-19 vaccines, Utah Inland Port Authority officials have an eye on Utah’s northern cargo network.

The Deseret News looked to Austin, Texas, in search of both short- and long-term solutions. This is the first of a .AUSTIN, Texas — The two settings are dramatic opposites. One is a state-sanctioned tent city, tucked — practically hidden — away in an industrial area just north of the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

SHAREPROVO — When Kyle Burgess was on a run about 2 miles up Slate Canyon on Saturday evening and saw four small animals scampering around on the trail ahead, he didn’t realize what they were at first. Thinking they were bobcats (it wouldn’t be the first time he’d seen those), Burgess pulled out his phone and started recording.

The instant the full-grown mountain lion mother charged him, Burgess’s adrenaline...…SHAREPROVO — When Kyle Burgess was on a run about 2 miles up Slate Canyon on Saturday evening and saw four small animals scampering around on the trail ahead, he didn’t realize what they were at first.
