But as Mendenhall looked to a future Salt Lake City on Sunday that she said she would lead to “cleaner air, stronger neighborhoods and smarter growth,” she also looked to the past, lauding her accomplishments during her six years serving on the council.
She pointed to her role in cobbling together the $21 million the city’s redevelopment agency put toward affordable housing two years ago, her work to establish better bus service for Salt Lake City residents and her support for fixing Salt Lake City’s streets with an $87 million bond that was approved by voters last fa...
While there’s a long list of candidates vying for the mayoral seat, Mendenhall is one of two with City Council experience. Her former colleague Stan Penfold, who announced his campaign in October, served two full terms on the council before leaving office in early 2018.
Two years ago, Rob Miller’s campaign for Utah Democratic Party chairman was derailed by allegations of sexual misconduct. Now, he wants to run again.
Salt Lake City Councilman Chris Wharton, who noted that he came to the launch as a friend and has not yet endorsed any candidate in the crowded mayoral race, said he’s been impressed during their time working together by Mendenhall’s leadership skills and her ability to build consensus among council members.
Mendenhall — who serves the Ballpark, Central City, Central 9th, East Liberty Park, Liberty Wells and Wasatch Hollow communities — still has two years left in her second term representing the city’s District 5 and would retain her seat if she lost her bid for mayor.
Other contenders for the mayor’s seat include former state Sen. Jim Dabakis; state Sen. Luz Escamilla; David Garbett, the former executive director of the Pioneer Park Coalition; former Downtown Community Council Chairman Christian Harrison; and Latino businessman David Ibarra.

While students were getting to their first day of classes, the Quinnipiac men’s soccer team played to a 1-1 tie against UMass Lowell on Monday afternoon for the second year in a row.
Junior forward Eamon Whelan scored with just over seven minutes remaining in the match to tie it at one, before the two teams took to extra time. UMass Lowell’s senior forward Ivan Abramovic scored the lone goal for the Riverhawks.
“It was a great early test for us,” Quinnipiac head coach Eric Da Costa said. “We always put ourselves in the position where we’re going to be challenged and UMass is a really good team.
The first half opened with a couple of Quinnipiac defensive breakdowns early on that led to quality, but empty chances for the Riverhawks. Quinnipiac junior goaltender Chrysostomos Iakovidis made multiple point-blank stops, one early against junior midfielder Roko Prsa and one late in the first half against sophomore f...
In the second half, UMass Lowell’s senior back Franky Martinez found Abramovic near the net and the Croatian made no mistake, potting it in the left corner passed Iakovidis.
In the final minutes of play, a quick look by junior defense Jeppe Haehre saw Whelan in the box. Off of Haehre’s pass, Whelan headed the ball passed the Riverhawk goaltender, senior Zach Rowell, to knot the game up at one. It was his second goal of the season, making him the only Bobcat so far to find the back of the n...
The team’s took to extra time, and despite some good looks on both sides, the score remained 1-1 as the final. Iakovidis came up clutch for the Bobcats, securing eight of his 13 saves in the extra time period to hold on for the draw.
For Whelan, this beginning of the season is showing sign of his freshman campaign, when he led the team with 11 goals. After a tough sophomore year where he battled injury and only scored twice, the start he has had this year shows the recovery he has made.
UMass Lowell has provided to be a formiddable foe the last few years. Quinnipiac has played the Riverhawks for three consecutive years and have yet to come out victorious — a loss and two ties round out the results. But Da Costa had a lot of positives to take away from the draw.
“For them to fight back and put ourselves in the position in the last 20 minutes to not only get the goal, but have one or two more right there, I think that shows the character of this young team and where we are right now,” Da Costa said.
Quinnipiac will take its 0-1-1 record to Philadelphia, with the next matchup at St. Joe’s University next Saturday, Sept. 1 at 7 p.m.
A Lubbock County Sheriff's deputy remained hospitalized this week following a weekend crash in South Lubbock County.

Is it really true that God is good all the time? Absolutely!
If you grew up in a Christian home, you may have learned this childhood prayer: “God is great. God is good. Let us thank him for our food. Amen.” While simplistic, that prayer covers one key characteristic of God: his goodness.
Is it really true that God is good all the time? Absolutely! However many people don’t live like they believe it. It can be hard to believe in God’s goodness for many reasons, including when we’re in pain. We forget it when we’re upset. We think it’s for everyone else except us when we’re depressed. And when we’re worr...
So how can we trust in God’s goodness when we don’t feel it? His Word reminds us of his goodness over and over: “The Lord is always good. He is always loving and kind, and his faithfulness goes on and on to each succeeding generation” Psalm 100:5.
Focusing on God’s goodness is so important to your life because it gives you perspective on your darkest days, when you need it the most. When you forget God’s goodness, it causes all kinds of difficulties.
God wants to give you a life of confidence, even on your most difficult days. He wants to give you assurance. He wants to protect you. He wants to give you a life of influence and abundance. He wants to give you a life filled with generosity. Who doesn’t want that? Who doesn’t need that?
When you believe and understand the goodness of God, it will transform your life and your relationships. You won’t be the same!

A long, long time ago on an old familiar street not so far away lived a typical family of seven for the time – or so they thought. Living inside the house located at 110 Flamingo Street was a mom, a dad, four brothers, an annoying older sister, and a little green parakeet who ate hushpuppies off the Dad’s head during d...
But there also lived another. It was as much a family member as anyone, but it was also something else – the cause of all the children’s trouble.
It broke everything in our house. It was the cause of any of our front or backyard, injuries. If The Sister got picked on or there were arguments in our car, it was the instigator. And if any of us innocent children got into trouble at school, it was always the culprit.
It was never caught, never heard from, and never even seen by anyone. To say it was a troublemaker and an out-and-out liar would be the greatest understatement known to mankind. And now, “Not Me” is something else. Clawing its way back from my childhood, Not Me has finally found me and is once again causing trouble.
While living on Flamingo, Not Me didn’t seem to care about anything. It didn’t care if us kids were being punished for what it had done. When we said in unison that it was Not Me who melted the candlesticks our parents bought while in Germany, it never confessed.
It broke countless toys, wrecked bikes, threw rocks that broke windows, hurled misdirected water balloons at passing cars, started the Great Marshmallow War of ’69, and caused all the fights on Flamingo but never once got caught.
Not Me was never seen by our parents, but somehow they knew it was always innocent. In fact, they seemed to always defend it. The phrase, “Don’t blame Not Me for what you did,” was spoken loudly by our parents almost every day. Not satisfied to stay in the past, Not Me is once again causing trouble for innocent little ...
While growing up on Flamingo, my parents thought it only plagued us boys, but now I know differently. Not Me causes havoc equally for both genders. When Little One and Sweet Caroline, our two granddaughters, were born, all was well for a while. They were free from all worries of the world, all troubles, and especially ...
Just four years later, Not Me has not only found them, but has once again taken up residence in a house where Yours Truly resides.
I could list everything that Not Me has broken in our house or retell all the lies it has told, but I do have a word limit to this story. Let’s just say the way things are going, given a couple of years, there will not be enough paper nor ink to list everything. Not Me is neither male nor female, is in every house that...
Up to 270 migrants are missing off the Tunisian coast after a ship headed for Italy capsized, authorities said on Thursday.
Army and coastguard teams have lifted 570 people off the overcrowded vessel after it ran aground and capsized near Tunisia's Kerkennah islands on Wednesday.
But between 200 and 270 were still missing after they tried to scramble aboard a flotilla of rescue boats, the TAP news agency said.
Authorities reported two dead bodies were recovered from the scene while seven injured people were taken to hospital in Sfax in southern Tunisia.
The coastguard said the vessel had been packed with refugees from the conflict in neighbouring Libya and was on its way to the Italian island of Lampedusa when it went aground.
It ran aground on a sandbank some 19 nautical miles (36 kilometres) off the coast of the islands, and then capsized as people struggled to leave the boat to jump into the rescue vessels, the agency reported.
Around 200 of those rescued were being taken to a refugee camp at Choucha in the south.
Italy has faced a massive influx of refugees since the fall of the regime of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia in January and the outbreak of violence in neighbouring Libya.
Thousands of immigrants have fled to the small island of Lampedusa located between Sicily and Tunisia.
Italy says around 40,000 have arrived on its coasts since the start of the year.
Several boat accidents have occurred, usually the result of overcrowding.
On April 6 at least 150 Somali and Eritrean refugees died when their boat sank after leaving Libya.
On Wednesday Malta's army rescued a boat carrying 76 refugees fleeing the city of Misurata, under siege by forces loyal to strongman Col Muammar Gaddafi.
The UN estimates about 1,200 people have died or gone missing after attempting to flee the war-torn country by sea.
In total, it says about 893,000 people have left Libya since the popular uprising began in February.
MARK HUGHES reckons Sir Alex Ferguson wants dry conditions against Barcelona at Wembley – unlike 20 years ago when rain rattled the Spaniards.
I don’t think Fergie will be praying for rain at Wembley though, because the pitch will be too quick.
Sparky landed Ferguson’s first European title at Manchester United when he scored twice in the rain-soaked 2-1 Cup Winners’ Cup win in Rotterdam.
Hughes’ two ex-clubs will fight it out again for the Champions League in three weeks. But unlike in 1991, a slick surface will help Barca’s style this time around.
“It was a great night,” said Fulham boss Hughes. “I remember it was a bit drizzly. “I recall looking over at the Barca players as we lined up and saw a few shivering, looking at the rain and I thought, ‘This might suit us better than them.’ I think it did.
