Summit County transfers property to Park City for future Recycle Utah facility

Recycle Utah has secured a permanent space for a facility in Summit County thanks to a land transfer agreement between the county government and Park City Municipal.

“We’re really excited that we could find a positive outcome for not just Recycle Utah, but for the people of Summit County,” said Summit County Council Chair Canice Harte. “Recycle Utah is a valuable asset to everybody in the community. It’s not just an opportunity for us to recycle, but there’s an educational component as well, so it was really important to find a good solution for them.”

The Park City Council on Tuesday unanimously voted to accept a 4.18-acre parcel east of U.S. 40 from Summit County to be used as the site of Recycle Utah’s future facility. City Councilor Tana Toly explained that the transfer stemmed from a 2017 agreement between the city and the county, in which the county agreed to provide the city with land for a public works facility.

This land transfer fulfills the county’s obligations while also establishing a space for Recycle Utah, which needs to vacate its current location on Woodbine Way by September due to city construction projects and an expiring lease. “The proposed conveyance is structured as an exchange under existing agreements between the city and county and does not require new funding,” officials noted.

Recycle Utah had previously proposed a $25 million, 30,000-square-foot facility aimed at improving waste management across the Wasatch Back. While the land transfer between the city and county does not automatically approve this multimillion-dollar development project, it provides Recycle Utah with a tangible piece of property to begin planning.

City officials said they will soon enter into negotiations with Recycle Utah to finalize the details of the nonprofit’s operations on the land.

Luke Cartin, Environmental Sustainability Manager for Park City, highlighted the need for such a facility, noting that Summit County only diverts 26% of its residential waste compared to the 32% national average. This underlines the importance of Recycle Utah’s facilities and educational campaigns.

Last year, the county quickly expressed interest in helping Recycle Utah and Park City find a solution. Officials emphasized the critical need to divert recyclable materials from Three Mile Landfill, which is projected to reach its capacity by 2053 based on current trends. County staff are currently working on a strategic plan to extend the landfill’s lifespan by 10 years.

A key part of this plan involves diverting materials such as recyclables and brown waste from trees to other facilities to conserve landfill space.

Family friend calls Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance “heart-wrenching”

A family friend of NBC “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie described the disappearance of Guthrie’s mother as “absolutely heart-wrenching,” as the Tucson, Arizona, community prepares to hold a candlelight service Wednesday night to pray for the safe return of Nancy Guthrie.

Sally Shamrell, an actress and former reporter for KVOA, a local Tucson television station where Savannah Guthrie got her start, told CBS News that the Guthries are a “very revered family” in the area. Shamrell, who has known the family for over 30 years, said, “Nancy and Savannah have both contributed so much to the Tucson community. They’re just positive contributors and very faithful women. What’s going on is absolutely heart-wrenching.”

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie as a crime. However, no suspect or person of interest has been identified. Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home on Saturday night but was not reported missing until she failed to show up for church on Sunday morning, Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed.

Shamrell helped organize the vigil scheduled for Wednesday night at St. Philip’s in the Hills Episcopal Church after seeing Savannah Guthrie’s social media post on Monday asking for prayers.

In her post, Savannah wrote: “Thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant. Raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment. We need you.”

The candlelight service is expected to begin at 6 p.m. local time and will be livestreamed on the church’s website.

Shamrell expressed hope that the event would provide comfort to the Guthrie family. “I know that the Guthrie kids, who are so, so missing their dear, dear mother — I mean, she is everything to them,” she said. “I just hope, if they see this, and they see the whole community’s come together, that they will know that they’re not alone. It’s a pretty dark time.”

She also shared how she reached out to former colleagues at KVOA to help organize the event. Describing the station’s staff as “very tight family members,” Shamrell noted, “Some of these people haven’t seen Savannah in 20 years, but at the twist of a dime, they said, ‘What do you need? I’ll be there.'”

Authorities believe Nancy Guthrie was abducted over the weekend from her home in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood of Tucson, where signs of forced entry were found. A small amount of blood found inside the house is currently being tested, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the case.

Sheriff Nanos mentioned that a ransom note was sent to a local Arizona news station following Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. However, he could not confirm the authenticity of the note or its accuracy.

Anyone with information about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance is urged to contact the Pima County Sheriff’s tip line at 520-351-4900.

Rams GM Les Snead prepared for life after Matthew Stafford

SANTA CLARA — With general manager Les Snead and coach Sean McVay locked in on new multiyear contracts, the Rams have turned their attention to quarterback Matthew Stafford, who now faces a big decision. Does he return for an 18th NFL season or call it a career?

Stafford must consider whether to commit for another year—or even push for a new contract that raises his 2026 compensation from $42 million, which is middle of the pack for NFL quarterbacks, to the current going rate of $55 million to $60 million for a quarterback of his stature. Or does he walk off into the sunset and embrace a life that provides more time with his wife, Kelly, and their four daughters?

Whatever the 37-year-old Stafford decides will significantly shape how Snead and McVay approach the offseason. “Because there will be two different teams, with or without Matthew,” Snead said Wednesday.

With Stafford, it’s about balancing the present and the future. The Rams need to add pieces that complement a Stafford-led team while not losing sight of a soon-to-be post-Stafford era. On the other hand, if Stafford decides to step away, creating a crater-sized hole at quarterback, the roster-building approach will change dramatically.

“It won’t be a full rebuild, necessarily, but clearly a world filled with far more questions than answers,” Snead explained. Do they trade for an impact veteran quarterback or aggressively use the draft to identify and develop Stafford’s heir apparent?

“At the macro level, when Matthew’s on the horse, we go, let’s make the most of our time with Matthew,” Snead said. “And we’re well aware that there will be a time where we have to transition.”

As eager as Snead and McVay are to get an answer and adjust accordingly, they understand the importance of patience. They plan to give Stafford as much space as he needs while he sorts through his decision.

“We’re gonna give him his space,” Snead said. “Let’s call it recover and rejuvenate, and then determine, hey, do we want to get back on this horse again and go chase, earn and grab special moments together?”

Coming off a season many believe will earn him his first MVP award, Stafford is still very capable of creating those special moments.

“I think that if that’s something that he wants to do, the answer is absolutely yes,” McVay said. “I think what’s great is he’s going to take his time and talk with Kelly and the girls and see what’s best, but, man, is he still playing at an incredible level.”

It’s clear what McVay’s preference is, but he wants Stafford to take the necessary time to make the decision that is best for himself and his family—however long that might take.

“He deserves as much time as he needs,” McVay said. “We spend a lot of time together. I’m hopeful, but with respect to him, we haven’t set any sort of timetable. I don’t get the sense that he wants to let it drag on, either. We’ll see what he’s feeling. I’m keeping my fingers crossed like you guys that he wants to still play.”

No matter what Stafford decides this offseason, Snead understands it’s only a matter of time before the Rams must deal with life without their star quarterback. However long they have him in the fold, they want to maximize it.

“At the end of the day, we try to keep it simple,” Snead said. “Let’s make the most of our time with Matthew. And then when the time comes that Matthew says, ‘You know what, enough’s enough,’ then let’s be prepared to transition from there.”

Police search for suspect in ‘serious’ injury stabbing in Tigard

A 33-year-old man suffered serious injuries during a stabbing that occurred Tuesday morning in a marshy, wooded area of Tigard, police say. The incident prompted a large search for a suspect, but the effort came up empty.

Officers responded around 7:15 a.m. to Southwest Cascade Avenue, a frontage road south of Scholls Ferry Road running along Oregon 217, according to a police spokesperson. Canine officers and drone operators searched the nearby rail line behind the industrial area, carefully examining several encampments, debris, and a small creek.

Investigators briefly detained one man during the search but later released him.

“Detectives are working to gather more information related to the identity of the suspect in this case,” said Tigard police spokesperson Kelsey Anderson.

As of now, officers have not determined a motive for the stabbing.

The victim, who has not been identified by police, was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.

Police are asking anyone with information to call 503-718-COPS or email tips@tigard-or.gov.

2 men charged in alleged Macomb County work truck theft ring

**Two Men Charged in Multi-County Theft Ring Targeting Work Trucks**

MACOMB COUNTY, MI – Two 27-year-old men from Detroit and Harper Woods have been charged in connection with a multi-county theft ring targeting work trucks. Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido announced on February 3 that Andrew Walker and Deanote Lindsey were both arraigned on charges stemming from a series of thefts.

The duo allegedly targeted work vehicles parked in driveways and commercial lots throughout Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties. They are accused of breaking into at least 17 work vehicles.

During one of the alleged thefts, a victim attempted to stop the suspects from fleeing with stolen property. According to a release from the prosecutor’s office, one of the men pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the victim.

Both men face multiple charges, including armed robbery, conducting a criminal enterprise, and assault with a dangerous weapon.

Walker was arraigned on January 29, while Lindsey was arraigned on February 2 in the 41B District Court in Clinton Township. Both are scheduled for a probable cause conference on February 9.

Prosecutor Lucido praised the coordinated efforts of law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation. “I want to commend the members of the Macomb Auto Theft Task Squad, the Clinton Township, St. Clair Shores, Roseville, and Warren Police Departments, the Macomb FBI Violent Crimes Taskforce, and the Troy Special Investigations Unit,” Lucido said in a news release.

“Your coordinated efforts appear to have removed two alleged violent and brazen criminals from the streets and disrupted an alleged criminal enterprise. Thank you for the work you do every day to help keep the residents of Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne Counties safe.”

Secretary Noem says body cameras are being deployed to field officers in Minneapolis

**DHS Announces Nationwide Deployment of Body Cameras to Law Enforcement Officers**

WASHINGTON — U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Monday, February 2, that her department is deploying body cameras to every field officer in Minneapolis. The body camera program will be expanded nationwide as funding becomes available.

“Effective immediately, we are deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in Minneapolis. As funding is available, the body camera program will be expanded nationwide,” Noem stated on X.

This announcement comes amid heightened scrutiny of the immigration enforcement policies under President Donald Trump’s administration, following the killing of two U.S. citizens in Minnesota last month by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. ICE operates under the Department of Homeland Security.

The killings have sparked nationwide protests, with human rights advocates widely condemning Trump’s immigration policies. Critics argue that these policies lack due process and create a hostile environment for immigrant communities. President Trump, however, has defended his administration’s actions as measures to improve domestic security.

President Trump also commented on Noem’s announcement, telling reporters that body cameras “generally tend to be good for law enforcement, because people can’t lie about what’s happening.” He added, “So it’s, generally speaking, I think 80%, good for law enforcement. But if she wants to do that, I’m OK with it,” clarifying that the decision was made by Noem and not by him.

Noem’s announcement followed a call with key officials, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott, Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan—who has been tasked with overseeing operations in Minnesota—and Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons.

She emphasized that the Trump administration will “rapidly acquire and deploy body cameras to DHS law enforcement across the country,” signaling a commitment to enhancing transparency and accountability within the department’s enforcement activities.

Justin and Hailey Bieber coordinate in all-black looks on Grammys 2026 red carpet

The Biebers Bring Their Swag to the Grammys 2026 Red Carpet

Justin Bieber made a triumphant return to the awards show circuit, hitting the Grammys 2026 red carpet alongside his wife, Hailey Bieber. The 31-year-old pop star opted for an oversized black Balenciaga suit, perfectly paired with a dazzling diamond necklace that added a bold touch to his look.

Hailey coordinated with her husband in a stunning strapless black Alaïa dress, featuring large sheer panels along her legs. The model accessorized with a silver choker necklace adorned with a massive pear-shaped diamond and matching pear-shaped stud diamond earrings, completing her elegant ensemble.

Making a statement beyond fashion, the couple both wore anti-ICE pins that read “ICE OUT.” They weren’t alone—several other stars, including Kehlani, sported the same political pins on the red carpet and openly condemned Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in interviews.

Justin Bieber is expected to have a big night at the Grammys, where he’s nominated for four awards, including Album of the Year for “Swag.” He faces stiff competition from artists such as Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter, and more. Additionally, he is set to take the stage for his first major performance in four years.

The couple’s last Grammys appearance was in 2022, when Justin showed up in a pink beanie paired with a suit, while Hailey, a Rhode founder, wore a slinky Saint Laurent slip dress. With much anticipation, this year’s event marks a significant comeback for the pop star.

Looking ahead, Bieber is slated to headline Coachella in April alongside Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, and Anyma. Although the Biebers have faced marital struggles recently—topics Justin explores in songs like “Daisies” and “Walking Away” from his albums “Swag” and “Swag II”—sources say Hailey was the driving force behind his decision to perform at the music festival. The “incredibly supportive” 29-year-old model reportedly assured her husband that “now is the best time” to take the stage again.

With Hailey by his side, fans can be sure she’ll be cheering him on and hyping him up during his much-anticipated performance.

Trevor Noah Roasts Nicki Minaj at Grammys for Going MAGA: ‘She’s Still at the White House With Donald Trump’

Although Trevor Noah usually keeps his Grammy hosting duties free of political discussion, he used his enthusiastic opening monologue to poke fun at Nicki Minaj’s recent turn to fawning over Donald Trump. After lightly joking with scores of superstars in the audience, Noah pointed out that the A-list rapper wasn’t at the award show.

“Nicki Minaj is not here,” he said. “She’s still at the White House with Donald Trump, discussing very important issues. ‘Actually Nicki, I have the biggest ass! Everybody’s saying it. I know they say it’s you, but it’s me. WAP, WAP, WAP. Look at it, baby.’”

Minaj has caused debate among her fanbase recently by her very visible support of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.

Last year, Noah’s monologue was subdued, given the recency of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, but he did take aim at the Trump administration’s tariffs.

The Feb. 1 ceremony marks the sixth time that Noah has hosted the Grammys. This is set to be his final time as well, which the show’s executive producer, Ben Winston of Fulwell Entertainment, revealed in January.

“I am beyond thrilled to welcome Trevor Noah back to host the Grammys for his sixth, and sadly, final time,” Winston said. “He’s been the most phenomenal host of the show. He’s so smart, so funny, and such a true fan of the artists and music. His impact on the show has been truly spectacular, and we can’t wait to do it together one last time.”

Meanwhile, criticism of ICE raids has grown even louder in recent weeks, especially following the Jan. 24 shooting death of Alex Pretti. Several Hollywood figures have spoken out against the killing, including Whoopi Goldberg on “The View,” Sundance attendees during a Park City protest, and actors with films at the Sundance Film Festival.

The 68th Annual Grammy Awards are taking place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Kendrick Lamar leads the night with the most nominations, totaling nine, including record of the year, song of the year, and album of the year.
