High School Friendship Ends in Tragedy: Manslaughter in Bountiful
The Bountiful shooting involving the death of Jacob Hess is now considered a manslaughter case. Suspect Dylan Goodin, a former high school friend of the victim, faces multiple charges, including a second-degree felony for manslaughter. The incident, which occurred during the mishandling of a gun, also led to the discovery of drugs and alcohol at the scene.
Utah Pioneers New Horizons in Medical Cannabis Research
Utah is funding a medical cannabis research project in collaboration with University of Utah Health and Utah State University, focusing on safe usage and interaction with other medicines. The initiative will produce high-quality cannabis for clinical trials and study environmental factors affecting its growth, marking a significant advancement in the state's medical cannabis research and public perception.
Sandy's Pickleball Players Gather in Memory of Beloved Community Member
The pickleball community in Sandy, Utah, gathered to honor Ben Kerbs, a 52-year-old man renowned for his enthusiasm for pickleball and his contributions to the sport. Kerbs, who recently passed away in Puerto Rico, was remembered for his vibrant personality and his role in promoting pickleball in Utah, including building one of the state's first indoor courts. Friends and family described him as an adrenaline junkie who loved life and cared deeply for others. A special event at Club Pickleball USA saw players of all levels, including professionals, come together to play in his memory, with proceeds donated to Kerbs' family. The event highlighted the community spirit and friendship that pickleball fosters, qualities that Kerbs exemplified throughout his life.
