Travis and Carla Craven stand with Connie, Tyler, and Ashlee Utley as they watch the balloons they released into the sky in honor of Trevor Craven on Saturday in Greeley. Trevor Craven's remains were found Nov. 11 in north Greeley. |
Trevor Craven disappeared at the age of 17 on Nov. 26, 2011, from the 100 block of 23rd Avenue. Two days later, his mother reported him as a runaway to Greeley police. She told officers that when she last saw him two days earlier, he was distraught and possibly suicidal. His remains were found on Nov. 11, near 35th Ave... |
Friends and family of Trevor Craven looked skyward as they released dozens of colorful balloons in his memory on Saturday at Broadview Park. |
As the balloons ascended into the cloudy sky, the group of about 45 people watched in silence. The balloons dispersed, some of them hovering over the park, 28th Avenue and 6th Street, before they disappeared from sight. |
Craven’s skeletal remains were found on Nov. 11, almost three years after he was reported missing on Nov. 26, 2011. |
Trevor was well known by his friends as a person who they could always count on, they said Saturday. He was always there when they needed something, and he was eager to offer help. |
Dominic Phillips who stood with, Nathaniel Ramirez and Alexia Herrera, remembered Trevor as the “kid brother” who often would tag along with his older sibling, Travis, to hang out with them. |
“He was always positive, always happy,” Phillips said. |
Travis Craven smiled as he recalled how they would all hang together to relax and play video games. |
He shared memories of Trevor’s love for electronic music and flying kites with their dad, as well as his curiosity for the mechanics of everyday items. |
“Trevor aspired to be happy and enjoy life. He was someone that wanted to be enjoyed by others. This was an enjoyable experience and it did bring closure to a lot of people,” Travis said after the memorial balloon release. |
Trevor’s family huddled, remembering the boy who could always bring a smile to those near him. |
“He loved to joke around,” said Christina Reyes, Trevor’s cousin. |
For many, attending the ceremony it was both an opportunity for closure as well as a chance to celebrate the boy they knew and loved so well. |
A candlelight vigil also was held later in the day to commemorate Trevor’s life. |

Academy-Award-Nominated Live-Action Short Films, Reviewed This year's nominees include a sobering and deeply personal drama about the impact of an infamous lynching and a light farce that probes the divide between psychiatrist and patient. |
L.B. Williams plays Mose Wright, the uncle of Emmett Till, in the Oscar-nominated short film My Nephew Emmett. |
As is often the case, this year's crop of Academy Award-nominated live action shorts — several of them made as newbie filmmakers' calling cards — make up in earnest humanity for what they lack in technical sophistication. One way or another, all of this year's nominees turn on themes of terror — that's if you count the... |
The most accomplished and beautiful of the year's nominees, this NYU pre-thesis film by Kevin Wilson Jr. was inspired by real-life videotaped testimony from the uncle of Emmett Till. (Till was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, while visiting from Chicago, after a local white woman complained that he had wolf-whistled her... |
A heavyset and heavily armed student barges into the office of an Atlanta, Georgia elementary school. Faced with the infinite compassion and good sense of the school secretary, the would-be shooter collapses into inept panic while he and the administrator discuss next steps with a police responder over the phone. Based... |
In this enjoyably punch-drunk farce out of Australia, a temporary secretary arrives for work at the office of a psychiatrist. The man she meets may be the psychiatrist or he may be a patient — but he's definitely a stuffed shirt. When someone else claiming to be the real shrink shows up for work, a diagnostic face-off ... |
Based on a real-life 2015 attack in which Kenyan Muslim commuters rose up to protect their minority-Christian fellow travelers from a savage attack by terrorists, this inspiring German-Kenyan co-production focuses less on the inevitable carnage than on the crucible of anxiety, mistrust, anger and pain that festers betw... |
Weakened by the axe it so loudly grinds, this conventional short film turns on a little girl growing up deaf in a well-heeled but neglectful British family with parents who resent the efforts of a skilled young therapist to introduce her to communication skills that will ease her passage into the hearing world. Though ... |
An earlier version of this review contained an initial mention of the director Kevin Wilson Jr. that mistakenly credited him as Kevin Williams Jr. |
Glen Abbey GC, a Nicklaus design, has hosted 25 Canadian Opens. |
Good news, Canadian golfers/golf fans. One of your country's most storied courses, Glen Abbey, will not be bulldozed and turned into a housing development. At least, not yet. |
InsideHalton.com reports Oakville (Ontario) Town Council voted unanimously in favor to keep an interim bylaw that prevents any building projects on the course. The bylaw went into effect in February after the course's owner, ClubLink, announced a plan to turn the land into homes, office space, and stores. |
The bylaw was enacted in order for studies to be done on how the redevelopment will affect the area. These studies have not been completed yet. The report noted that this bylaw can be extended as long as the total time does not exceed two years. |
ClubLink has appealed the decision and a hearing is scheduled for January. |
Glen Abbey has hosted Canada's national golf championship, now called the RBC Canadian Open, a record 28 times, and is scheduled to be the venue for the 2017 tournament. The Jack Nicklaus design opened in 1976 and is perhaps most known as being the site of Tiger Woods' famed fairway bunker shot that wrapped up the 2000... |
One morning in the 1930s in Yellowstone National Park, biologist Adolph Murie watched a trotting coyote joyously toss a sprig of sagebrush in the air with her mouth, adroitly catch it, and repeat the act every few yards. |
Murie was conducting a study to prove that coyotes were “the archpredator of our time.” But the biologist, whose work ultimately exonerated the animals, was more impressed by that sprig-tossing – proof of the joy a coyote took in being alive. |
If we paid attention, we might share Murie’s fascination with this intelligent, playful creature. Instead, we kill roughly half a million of them annually in the United States. |
No other animal in American history has suffered the kind of deliberate, casual persecution we have rained down on coyotes. For a long stretch of the 20th century, the federal government even sought their outright extermination. |
Amid that coyote war, biologists Fred Knowlton and Guy Connolly published a study explaining how coyotes could withstand such scorched-earth warfare. |
When left alone, coyote populations stabilize whereas, under persecution, colonizing mechanisms kick in. If an alpha female dies, beta females breed. They have greater pup survival. Pressured, packs break up and individuals colonize new areas. |
Coyotes can withstand as much as a 70 percent yearly kill rate without suffering any decline in their total population. The only real effect a half-century of coyote killing was producing was coyote Manifest Destiny, as they spread out across North America. |
Yet, in New Mexico, we still allow wildlife-killing contests, where “hunters” slaughter as many coyotes as possible to win cash, a belt buckle, or a gun. |
More than 70 prominent conservation scientists have signed a statement condemning killing contests as ecologically indefensible, but organizers still promote them as a recreational pursuit and a way to attract young people to hunting. Their victims are not only coyotes, but the very image of rural America, tarnished by... |
Coyotes don’t need our help to survive as a species. But there is something perverse in society marking an ancient American species for death, setting it outside the bounds of even our wildlife protections and anti-cruelty laws. |
No thoughtful human being should sacrifice for pleasure or a bet an animal like the one Murie observed in Yellowstone. Doing so is immoral – not in a religious sense, but in reference to morality’s origins, the evolution of a sense of fairness among members of a social species, which early on came to include a human re... |
In January, State Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard banned the events for unprotected species on 9 million acres of State Trust Land, and the Albuquerque City Council issued a resolution in 2018 calling on legislators to take a stand. |
This just-concluded session, bipartisan legislation was passed to outlaw coyote-killing contests statewide. It was sent to the governor, who can sign it into law. |
Killing for mere pleasure an animal that for 5 million years has played an important role in America is shortsighted and ethically indefensible. As long as urbanites keep their pets inside at night and ranchers use common sense husbandry and proven non-lethal measures, coyotes pose no unique or overwhelming danger. |
The truth is, we ought to appreciate them rather than target them in bloodsport. |
A Utah high school student was happy working at KFC. But with this program’s help, he’s a pre-med senior in college. |
(Photo by Sean P. Means | The Salt Lake Tribune) Sarah Moore, left, a junior studying social work at the University of Utah, confers with Sandi Pershing, assistant vice president at the U.'s Office of Engagement, outside a Utah Board of Regents meeting Friday, Sept. 21, 2018. Moore spoke to regents about the Utah Colle... |
When Franco Jin was a student at Hillcrest High School four years ago, all of his friends were applying for college and he wasn’t sure if he should be, too. |
Jin, who moved to America with his family from Argentina when he was 12, would have been the first generation of his family to attend college. Besides, he already had a job. |
Jin is now a senior pre-med student at the University of Utah, with applications out to about a dozen medical schools. “This is a completely different kind of happy that I get to experience,” he said. |
Jin would not have gotten that nudge into college, he said, without the Utah College Access Corps, a program in which recent college graduates take jobs in high schools to help students navigate the tricky task of applying for college, completing entrance exams and securing financial aid. |
The program, started as a pilot in 2007 and now operating in 12 Utah high schools, will be going statewide soon. On Friday, the Utah Board of Regents unanimously approved a plan to put a UCAC counselor in every high school in the state, making Utah the first state in the nation to have such an extensive program. |
David Buhler, Utah’s commissioner of higher education, presented the regents with the numbers touting UCAC’s success where it has been implemented. Students are 13 percent more likely to enroll in college after one meeting with a college-access advisor, 42 percent more likely after three to five meetings, and 140 perce... |
A harder number to swallow may be the budget. Buhler said taking the program statewide will cost about $7 million. The bulk of that, $5.99 million, will be requested from the Utah Legislature next January. The rest, Buhler said, will be found shuffling money from other Utah higher-ed funding. |
Of the 12 schools with UCAC advisors in place, 11 are in the Salt Lake City area, and one is at Pineview High School in St. George. |
Granite School District now has UCAC counselors in six of its eight high schools, said Judy Petersen, the district’s director of college and career readiness. The advisors are prioritized toward schools with a higher percentage of low-income kids who would be first-generation college students, she said. |
One strength to the program, Petersen said, is that the advisors are “near-peers,” just out of college themselves, so they’re familiar with what the high-school kids are facing. “They have their ear to the ground, about what [the students] want to hear about college readiness,” Petersen said. |
The toughest hurdle for would-be college students, both Jin and fellow U. student Sarah Moore said, was navigating financial aid. |
“My parents didn’t really know much about how to get me through college, how to get me into it and how to pay for it. The UCAC advising really helped me exponentially,” said Moore, a 2017 Hunter High School graduate now studying social work at the U. Her advisor helped her through the application process for scholarshi... |
The advisor jobs are short-term, “gap year” positions, said Sandi Pershing, assistant vice president in the U.'s Office of Engagement. But some advisors use the one- to three-year gig as a stepping stone to a career in counseling. |
Nomani Satuala did that. Satuala worked two years as an advisor at Kearns High School. Now he’s at the U.’s Office of Orientation and Transition — helping new college students, including the ones UCAC advisors aim his way, navigate their first days of college. |
Satuala recalled running into an undocumented Kearns High grad at Walmart who told him that she had gotten into college, and received a scholarship, thanks to his help. “Getting that scholarship made it possible where she could go to college,” Satuala said. |
The Goodwood Revival that wrapped up this weekend is an annual superb outlet to vicariously fulfill your vintage race car fantasies. You can have a lot of fun there on two wheels, too. For instance, sit back and watch in awe at Troy Corser's skills as he flogs a pre-war German motorbike around the Goodwood circuit. |
Despite the drizzle this weekend, a handful of nutjobs who were willing to take these old motorbikes to their limit got in some good laps. Corser gives this decades-old BMW bike the ride of its life until it finally gives up the ghost. Corser rides with total abandon as he whips his ride through the hairpin and clips t... |
By the time the 1935 BMW decided to stop running, Corser had set the fastest lap of the day by a margin of 0.5 seconds with his 1:37.369. That's some unbelievable riding on an 80-year-old motorcycle. As the weekend progressed, the weather deteriorated. That didn't change Corser's riding style. He continued to push anot... |
Watch below to see a massive puddle end the race for Corser in a spectacular wipeout. |
Son La, the largest hydropower plant in Southeast Asia, went on stream on December 23, three years ahead of schedule. |
Ground was broken for the plant in Muong La town in the northern province of Son La in late 2005, and it was expected to be completed only in 2015. |
It is on the Da River, the main tributary of the Red River. |
The spillway is situated on the right bank and contains eight spillway gates and 12 low-level outlet gates to control the water level during flood season. |
The powerhouse is located in the downstream dam toe in the river channel. |
The plant, built at a cost of around VND 60.2 trillion (US$2.9 billion), has six turbine units with a total capacity of 2,400MW. It can generate some 10.2 billion kilowatts of electricity a year. |
Speaking at the inauguration, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said the plant plays a significant role in the development of the country's power sector. |
He highlighted the fact that it was entirely designed and built by Vietnamese engineers and workers. |
Hoang Quoc Vuong, the chairman of the state-owned Electricity of Vietnam (EVN), which built the plant, said thanks to its early completion, the country would save some 1.5 million tons of coal in the three-year period. |
