SandBox Utah: KSL Utah "Utah politicians outraged at push to make Arizona strip national monument"
Amy Joi O'Donoghue:

They also say the proposal is a harkening to the 1996 designation by then-President Bill Clinton, who made the sweeping declaration to create the Grand Staircase- Escalante National Monument, closing off for development 1.7 million acres of coal-rich country in southern Utah.

SandBox Utah: KSL Utah "Utah iceberg hunter keeps ships safe near Titanic's grave"
Mike Anderson:

Members of the Coast Guard Ice Patrol have been braving the cold to mark and track icebergs in the Northern Atlantic Ocean since 1913. They say they've had a flawless track record.
Clearfield native Clifton Hendry, a marine technician and member of the Coast Guard Ice Patrol, spends his days flying over Newfoundland, tracking the icebergs...."
