shelf which opens up to their speakeasy bistro L-R: Book Club Co-Owners Kristee Proctor and Payten Crawford smile in front of a book shelf which opens up to their speakeasy bistro a seemingly ordinary bookshelf holds a secret and you’ll step into a hidden world of dim lighting craft cocktails and a kitchen serving up bold It's an immersive experience that the owners hope lingers long after the last sip "It's all about the experience,” said Book Club Bistro Co-owner and General Manager Payten Crawford it comes out on a gold tray with a perfume bottle filled with olive brine Our Old Fashioned is served inside a hollow book You open it to find a flask with the mix and pour it into your glass.” Co-owner Kristee Proctor wanted the hidden space to embrace a true speakeasy vibe it was designed to feel like an exclusive secret waiting to be discovered Striking the balance between keeping it hidden and inviting guests in was a challenge but that mystery is all part of the experience The owners agree that one of their favorite moments is watching guests push open the bookcase and step into the hidden bistro They equally love seeing the delight on customers' faces when their food and drinks arrive Even the chicken kabob adds a touch of surprise served hanging over a bed of orzo for a presentation that's as fun as it is flavorful “Everything is just plated so beautifully,” Crawford said “People see it and they’re not expecting it.” it all came from items Proctor makes at home Growing up in Utah and moving back east to Maryland her crabcake is inspired by her time there Living in other places outside of Utah has inspired her to bring those classics back to Southern Utah where they can’t be found anywhere else we just wanted things you can’t find in St “It’s a big variety on a little menu,” Crawford added The menu is packed with bold flavors and a few playful twists plus a “bougie” chicken salad sandwich on a croissant The brisket gets the spotlight in both a French dip and a loaded potato while the De-Maison Salad is straight from Proctor’s own kitchen Dessert keeps things exciting with an affogato that takes a grown-up turn featuring caramel that transforms it into a boozy sweet treat the mastermind behind the craft cocktails and mocktails brings serious bartending chops to the menu With her own side business in wedding and event bartending she’s had plenty of practice mixing drinks on the fly She took some of her crowd-favorite creations and gave them a glow-up with elegant glassware and eye-catching garnishes with new sips constantly making their debut “The cocktails are an experience in themselves,” Proctor said but the presentation is really what it’s about And that’s really what we’re trying to do with everything Come experience really beautiful fresh food and beautiful cocktails.” The bar is stocked with plenty of local favorites including craft beer from Silver Reef Brewing Company wine from Zion Vineyards and top picks from Salt Lake’s liquor scene One of their latest drink creations features fermented hot honey infused with rosemary and jalapeños Even the traditional espresso martini gets a unique twist served as a rich and creamy coconut espresso martini the full mocktail menu has something for everyone creamy orange sip topped with a soft froth and finished with a dried orange slice Crawford wants the community to know that good things take time and that’s exactly what makes their food and cocktails special Everything is made to order in their craft kitchen and nothing is reheated in bulk Dishes may not always arrive at the same time and cocktails take a little longer since they make their own simple syrups “Everything has its own special touch,” Crawford said “Everything is more than what you get somewhere else Book Club Bistro’s soft opening spanned a few weeks leading up to an exclusive grand opening on Feb The reservation-only event featured a special performance by Grammy-winning songwriter Levi Lowrey known for his work with the Zac Brown Band It all started when Proctor pitched the idea of a pop-up shop for her fashion line at Social District a boutique clothing shop featuring a wine bistro hidden in the back But when she learned the chef had left and the kitchen had gone dark she went on the hunt for someone who might want to rent the space for holiday baking she was about to cook up something much bigger I wonder if I could do something there,” she said “My husband has always been like when you have a restaurant who was busy running a restaurant and bar in Cedar City and pitched an idea She asked her to check out the space and let her know what it would take to turn it into a full-blown restaurant ‘When I quit my job next week and work here I’d change this and this and this,” Proctor said Crawford has spent years in the restaurant industry always working in customer service and bartending before moving up to General Manager helping relaunch the bar from the ground up she ended her time there with a grand finale Transitioning from managing a lively sports bar to running an intimate reservation-based bistro has been a whole new experience for Crawford service flow and guest expectations has presented new challenges “Once they come through that bookcase they’re in a different place,” Crawford said They can just relax and sit back and enjoy the experience drink good drinks and have a social environment where they can just escape everyday life.” Book Club Bistro is located at the Shoppes at Zion tucked inside the Social District Boutique and Bistro at 250 Red Cliffs Drive in St. George.

a spooky 90-minute stroll through downtown St where you’ll uncover eerie stories while soaking in the haunted sights with plenty of stops at old businesses and historic buildings perfect for snapping photos and catching your breath between spine-tingling tales Friday or Saturday for a ghostly good time George Ghost Tours are ones they've unearthed through plenty of digging and research It’s wild to think about how much superstition and folklore from the pioneer days have slipped through the cracks of history they’re ready to bring these spooky stories back to life and can’t wait to share the eerie treasures they’ve discovered “We’ve dug deep into the Washington County historic site and uncovered some truly fascinating stories from the downtown area One of the spookiest stories involves the Mulberry Inn and the "Becky Room" is home to a crying doll Even though the place has passed every inspection Hartman says it’s one of his favorite spots because dolls are downright terrifying to most people “I love anything that brings people to the Historic District to showcase these beautiful homes,” Mulberry Inn Owner Peggy Armour said “I hope ghost tour visitors are motivated to learn more of this exciting history.” Although the tour doesn’t include going inside the buildings the company has created a webpage where guests can check out what they're hearing about like the creepy doll mentioned at the Mulberry Inn George Ghost Tour also explores chilling tales of skinwalkers and Native American folklore stories that Hartman says get under people’s skin due to their unsettling realism The stories lead through the courthouse and the old Silver Reef Saloon a historic gem relocated from Silver Reef to downtown St each location holding its own collection of spooky secrets The haunted spots are scattered throughout downtown which is another eerie location featured on the tour George Ghost Tours officially open to the public on Friday the company has hosted family and friends tours One highlight has been a ghost named Canyon Carl decked out in a cowboy hat making his rounds through downtown The company doesn’t have a brick-and-mortar shop so participants meet up at Ancestor Square next to the old jailhouse known as Bee Sweet Ice Cream “If you’re asking if it’s too scary for your kids you probably shouldn’t bring them,” Hartman said “There are some pretty traumatic stories on the tour.” Tours are still designed with families in mind but Hartman suggests it's best enjoyed by those aged 10 and up it provides a unique and enjoyable way to spend an evening out how does one step into the eerie world of ghost tours “You have to really enjoy the spooky side of things,” he said When they started brainstorming business ideas George’s rich history was missing a key piece — historic tours they began digging into the area’s ghostly past uncovering eerie stories just waiting to be shared “You just hear ‘This is historic downtown,” he said I want to hear the cool stuff — the folklore the legends — and that’s what we’re doing.” Hartman mentioned they've uncovered some fascinating tidbits like tunnels beneath Bear Paw Cafe that supposedly lead to other spots around town the more incredible stories and details come to light They’re excited to see their tours evolve as they uncover even more captivating stories Utah (KUTV) — A “bait and switch” social media scam has resurfaced in St starting with a social media post that is designed to garner a lot of likes and shares George noticed posts like this appearing on Facebook in early September George Area Facebook Yard Sale Group included photos of a young child with apparent bruises on his face “This little boy approximately 3 years old found last night walking behind a home here in St Deputy Ryan Braidley saved him and took him to the Police Station but no one has an idea where he lives the neighbours don’t know him or how he got there Let’s flood our feeds so that this post may reach his family George Police Department confirmed via text message that there is no "Deputy Ryan Braidley." After searching for Ryan Braidley on Facebook dozens of identical posts across the country in various local yard sale groups appear The photos and text are identical amongst the posts — the only varying detail is the location they are targeting it is edited into an advertisement for a rental home The new post includes a link to a website imitating the US Department of Housing in Urban Development Melani Fox of the Better Business Bureau said that the next step of the scam is usually a prompt to gather personal or financial information they prey on people who don’t maybe know all the signs or they are just going to take people for their word,” said Fox Fox manages the Better Business Bureau Scam Tracker a resource for people to report scams or suspected scams MORE from KUTV:BBB warns college students of targeted scams as fall semester begins She said she has seen a lot of seniors reporting scams recently “People sometimes just aren’t thinking about it they are not being defensive about it," Fox said "They are just going along thinking that people are doing honest business and then they’re getting scammed It’s unfortunate and it’s happening a lot lately." shared several tips for spotting scam posts She said red flags include “Missing contact information the post says to ‘please bump,’ or it says to ‘flood our feed to help find the family.’” If you suspect you’ve been a victim of an online scam Fox recommended you report it to your local police department as well as the Better Business Bureau Scam Tracker A drag performer lip-syncs to Whitney Houston’s “The Greatest Love of All” during the Southern Utah Drag Stat’s drag show held at the Dixie Sunbowl in St Attendees at the Southern Utah Drag Stars Allies and Community Drag Show at the Dixie Sunbowl the City Council hears public input during a meeting in St A 2023 federal lawsuit between the city of St George and drag show performers represented by the American Civil Liberties Union came to an official end Friday with the city issuing an apology for the actions that triggered the litigation two years ago The ACLU issued a statement lauding the decision in the case featuring Mitski Avalox and Southern Utah Drag Stars George City Council’s denial of a special events permit for a drag show set to be held in a public park that was originally issued in Match 2023 The permit was later denied due to violation of advertising rules for events Avalox later appealed the denial before the council in April and was turned down St. George News  reported in early-January that a settlement was reached between the two parties “The courage of Drag Stars and Mitski Avalōx to bring this case affirmed what has always been true: all Utahns are entitled to the fundamental protections of the First Amendment,” said Thomas Ford but for all people who care about limiting the government’s ability to impose subjective views of what they deem appropriate on all of us.” George issued the following statement Friday afternoon: LLC (​"SUDS​") submitted an application to hold a special event in St George City admits the permit denial violated SUD​S' First Amendment rights and publicly apologizes for​ violating SUDS​' First Amendment rights George​ City regrets violating SUDS​'​ constitutionally protected right to free speech and it​ has worked with SUDS to favorably resolve the violation of SUDS​' rights George City welcomes all citizens to hold special events in the future and respects the First Amendment​ rights of all community members."

The Nissan was involved in an alleged hit and run incident that backed up southbound traffic on I-15 on Saturday evening, St. George, Utah, Feb. 1, 2025. This black GMC SUV was involved in a 2-car collision on Red Hills Parkway on Saturday evening, St. George, Utah, Feb. 1, 2025. Two separate incidents that occurred within an hour of each other had emergency responders hopping and Saturday evening rush hour traffic backed up in St. George. The first occurred around 5:20 p.m. and involved two SUV’s that collided in the intersection of Red Hills Parkway and Resort Lane. St. George Police officer Matt Noyes told St. George News that a silver SUV was on Resort Lane making a left-hand turn onto northbound Red Hills Parkway. At the same time, Noyes said, a black GMC SUV was traveling southbound on Red Hills Parkway. The silver SUV proceeded to turn and was struck by the oncoming black SUV, Noyes said. Noyes said that the silver vehicle spun wildly after the collision. The vehicle crossed both lanes of northbound Red Hills Parkway, he added, hopping the concrete barrier at the side of the road and then crashing through the fence next to I-15 before sliding to a stop sideways and uphill. Meanwhile the black GMC SUV rolled to a stop in the middle of Red Hills Parkway after the collision, Noyes said. A Gold Cross Ambulance and several St. George Police Department cruisers were on the scene. Noyes said there were only minor injuries to the drivers and passengers involved and that no one was taken to the hospital. Traffic in both directions of Red Hills Parkway was reduced to one lane while the scene was cleared. Both vehicles had to be towed from the scene. Noyes said investigating officers were still determining whether citations would be issued. About 40 minutes later around 6 p.m., southbound traffic on I-15 was clogged by a second incident that occurred on the highway between the Dixie Drive and Brigham Road exits. In a text to St. George News, Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Mike Alexander said that two vehicles were involved. "One was reckless and struck the right side of another vehicle," Alexander wrote, "which pushed it into the median barrier. No injures from what I heard." Alexander added that no citations have been issued yet. "No, the reckless vehicle fled and investigation is ongoing," he wrote. Both of these reports are based on statements by law enforcement personnel and may not include the full scope of the findings.

England including facts about the legends and ideas to celebrate St George's Day St George's Day usually takes place on the 23rd April each year – but this year, the Church of England has announced that it will take place on Monday 28 April. This is because no saint's day can take place in the week before or after Easter St George's Day marks the death of the Patron Saint of England who is thought to have died in around AD 303 when he was tortured and executed in Palestine Legend has it that St George slew an evil dragon that was plaguing a local town and saved a princess It is traditionally a Christian celebration as the story goes that St George offered to kill the dragon only if the town converted to Christianity Historical evidence however points to the 'real' St George living in Palestine in the third century who followed in his father's footsteps to became a soldier in the Roman army and was executed for his Christian beliefs St George is also patron saint of Georgia and the Russian city of Moscow St George’s Day became a national holiday in England in the early 15th century remaining until the tradition dwindled after the union with Scotland in the late 18th century Since then, the day has become a rather low-key affair, unlike the Irish celebration of St Patrick’s Day or Scottish observance of St Andrew’s Day.

The well-known story of The Grey Lady (also referred to as The Green Lady) is one of passion Shortly after marrying Lady Louisa Carteret became suspicious of his new wife’s relationship with a young footman rumours spread amongst the staff of Longleat House and Thomas’s temper was getting shorter Thomas confronted the footman who denied any affair and in a fit of rage Thomas pushed him down the

Aviation Administration use virtual reality headsets as a way to determine the best location for an air traffic control tower for the St A preliminary design concept for an traffic control tower for the St George officials were recently given reports on current and future work being done the regional airport This included an update on the placement and initial design concept for a multimillion dollar air traffic control tower the Legislature granted funding for earlier this year The City Council was given an update on the control tower during its Aug 8 work meeting by Interim Airport Manager Dustin Warren What he shared with the council specifically was a 15% design review of the project that outlined the basics of the project and where the control tower is set to be built Following the Legislature’s appropriating $15 million for the project work soon started on surveying different sites for the control tower The was done by a team of specialists with the Federal Aviation Administration who examined five locations using virtual reality headsets “They were able to use VR headsets to physically be in the tower and be able to adjust the height so they knew how high and where the tower should be,” Warren said “It’s a really awesome innovation that went into this,” Warren said A similar process using virtual reality and drones was recently used by an engineering firm to scout out prospective air traffic control tower sites for the Boulder City Municipal Airport in Nevada Considerations that go into a tower site section include whether or not it interferes with existing navigational aids how tall the tower needs to be to allow controllers to maintain a visual on the area if all movement can be seen from the tower along with items related to geotechnical and soil considerations and how the movement of the sun may impact the ability to see from the tower’s cab The FAA team reviewed five proposed locations for a tower at the St George Regional Airport and settled on a spot on the hillside west of the airport’s terminal and airfield.The preliminary design to the tower has it standing at 70 feet with seven levels a conference and training area and an FAA communications facility The top two levels include a utility floor underneath the air traffic control cab at the top level as an additional level can run $1 million-plus the city is opting for a rectangular structural rather than an octagonal one seen in the initial renderings of the tower This will also allow the city to save money while giving it move space to work with After presenting the initial design concept to the council Warren said someone will update them again when the design level has reached 30% George Airport is currently handled by FAA staff out of Los Angeles the federal agency deemed the regional airport a candidate for it own control tower due increasing flight increases in and out of the facility The airport saw its highest passenger numbers in

smile for the camera in Hawaii What started as a cheeky banana prank quickly baked into something bigger – now it’s a full-fledged bread business bringing in the dough the most out-there thing that we would have never expected,” Kate’s Banana Bread co-owner Brock Guthrie said are the dynamic duo behind Kate’s Banana Bread a homemade banana bread business that began as an unexpected fluke Just before their son Finn was born last May the couple took a leap of faith and quit their jobs to prioritize spending time together Brock Guthrie had been working for a well-known YouTuber while his wife was building a career in web development Knowing it would take time for their new venture to gain traction they turned to working for DoorDash to keep things afloat after burning through their savings they stopped at the mall to change their baby's diaper and take a breather they were shocked to find a friend had covered it in over 100 bananas you make banana bread,'” Kate Guthrie said The couple had previously considered making sourdough or other homemade treats to earn extra income on the side When they noticed vendors selling everything from puppies to pine nuts near Costco they thought it would be a great spot to set up a banana bread table Armed with a cardboard sign made from a diaper box asking if anyone had spotted the new mom selling banana bread and encouraging everyone to show their support “We couldn’t make banana bread fast enough.” Their home oven could handle 20 loaves at a time and their kitchen table quickly became a banana bread bonanza With two KitchenAid mixers whirring away and every available surface covered in bread the couple often found themselves baking into the wee hours They started using their neighbor’s oven so often that a well-trodden path appeared between their houses The business began with $5 classic banana bread As requests for chocolate chip banana bread rolled in they introduced pumpkin banana chocolate chip and pumpkin banana with cinnamon and sugar they debuted two new coconut banana bread flavors: The Islander and Coconut Dream each featuring a choice of white or semi-sweet chocolate with a coconut drizzle they added all four in gluten-free options The years the couple lived in Hawaii inspired their original banana bread recipe and each loaf features a sticker that reads “Made with Aloha.” Their goal is to capture the warmth and comfort of the islands and make customers feel like family from the moment they taste their bread Brock Guthrie stumbled upon a banana suit online and thought it would be a highly entertaining marketing tool And I remember some days just dancing out there and it sort of became the mascot character of our business.” He said the significance of their banana bread is more than just the bread itself; it’s about the human experience people have with it The banana suit has become a key part of that turning the experience into one of fun and spreading smiles but what is it that it does to make you happy?” he said George Downtown Farmers Market one year ago and now they're a fixture there every weekend They've also upgraded to a commercial kitchen space which enables them to ship their banana bread nationwide their banana bread can be found at Digby’s Market People frequently ask them how to start a business like theirs The couple said they explored many different ideas before landing on this one it's often not the first idea that succeeds and the ability to take risks is what leads to the reward “If you’re willing to put forth your best foot and work hard then when opportunity arises you’ll be ready for it,” he said The owners said they plan to expand Kate’s Banana Bread with more merchandise online and a greater social media presence There are talks of including a banana bread mix in the lineup of goodies their dream is to have a “banana mobile” – an airstream turned into a banana – in both St “We’ve always loved to travel,” Kate Guthrie said “It

Weston Broome said in a statement that the Supreme Court denial of a rehearing means that key issues — the date St George was incorporated and its boundaries — are still unresolved She said such

everyone in this parish," Pierson said Pierson faulted the high court for not addressing the open questions that Broome referenced "What they have done is to ensure another 10 years of litigation," Pierson predicted George is not going to be here for at least five to 10 years which promises to be the fifth-largest city in Louisiana “We’re finally glad to have this phase of the St George

His intervention comes as Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said  the country is losing any sense of national identity due to the cultural impact of mass migration But Sir Keir likens the on-going angst of today with the “best of our country” he experienced in 1996 when it came together during the Euro football tournament at the old Wembley stadium He said: “Yet now – we can see people trying to sow division in our communities People taking the red and white of our flag with them as they throw bricks at businesses “That is what happened last year – in the riots Because it was the aftermath of the riots that showed what it means to be English It’s in that spirit that we reclaim our flag for our country “Wrench it out of the hands of those who want to divide this nation Riots erupted last July following the murder of three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop in Southport before spreading to other parts of the country including London and Manchester. the country can’t be “under any illusions” of the battle on his hands Labour are becoming increasingly concerned about the progress of Reform as they campaign ahead of next week’s local elections Two-thirds of voters in so-called Red Wall seats told a Survation poll featured in The Sun last week that Britain was broken and the country was heading in the wrong direction The intervention came at a special event to mark England’s national day in Downing Street attended by NHS staff, police officers, charity workers and celebrities including Ross Kemp Guests were invited to eat typically English food at the event including Melton Mowbray pies, Lancashire Eccles cakes and Bakewell tarts Number 10 said the PM wanted to invite people who show a “strong sense of English patriotism” It follows Mr Farage warning: “I’m very concerned that we have whole areas of our towns and cities that are unrecognisable as being English but they’re not unrecognisable as being English because of skin colour “They’re unrecognisable because of culture.” Sir Keir made a thinly-veiled attack on his political opponents as he said the St George's flag belonged to the whole country - not any political party Speaking in Downing Street, the PM said: "That flag doesn't belong to me as Prime Minister, it doesn't belong to my party, the Labour Party "It belongs to all of us, to England in all of its wonderful diversity And we should be proud of that flag and we must never concede it because it's an expression of our values and our patriotism.” Our journalists strive for accuracy but on occasion we make mistakes.

Cloud 9 and the Utah Vapor Business Association hope to take action against the decision and hold lawmakers accountable “We need as much of the community’s support as we can get,” said Brendon Gunn owner of Cloud 9 and board member of the Utah Vapor Business Association “The state legislature has effectively banned vapor products in the entire state of Utah We need to let people know what their intentions are and why they’re doing it.” Gunn emphasized that whether or not someone uses vapor products is irrelevant “They’re creating a monopoly for the Big Tobacco companies to eventually take over the vapor industry … eliminating all the small businesses in their path,” he added Gunn said that the vapor industry has significantly reduced the use of combustible cigarettes leading to fewer cigarette butts on the streets a reduction in the smell of cigarettes and less exposure to secondhand smoke While Gunn doesn’t expect sympathy from people who don’t smoke or vape he urges people to consider the reasons behind the ban and the state’s overreach It’s also important to think about the impact on smokers Those who have transitioned to less harmful alternatives like vaping might soon be forced back to combustible tobacco products or have no option at all “If you look at the history of addiction and nicotine they don’t anticipate the majority of people will stop using nicotine altogether; instead the state is banning their products while tobacco remains readily available on store shelves attendees can participate in a petition drive Envelopes and stamps will be ready for
