Officials with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, in partnership with academic researchers, ventured onto the irregularly shaped mile-long island in March to install cameras in various locations, to not only observe American white pelicans without disturbing them, but to surveil for coyotes and foxes.

Incoming Utah State University leaders come from an Arizona school rocked by an on-campus slaying. A Utah teen had sex at school; his Latter-day Saint parents sued the district — and lost. And thousands of nesting birds have vanished from the Great Salt Lake’s Gunnison Island.

At 9 a.m. on Friday, Salt Lake Tribune reporters Jacob Scholl, Michael Lee and Leia Larsen, along with news columnist Robert Gehrke, will join Utah Public Radio’s Tom Williams to talk about the week’s top stories.

Every Friday at 9 a.m., stream “Behind the Headlines” at kcpw.org, or tune in to KCPW 88.3 FM or Utah Public Radio at www.upr.org for the broadcast. Join the live conversation this week by email to upraccess@gmail.com or Twitter @upraccess.
