📰 In the news
Canine unit grows stronger: USU Police added Wolverine, an explosives-detection dog partnered with Detective Mitch Blackham. Wolverine joins Zoomer, giving the university a second K-9 for large campus events and safety reminders — read the full story.
Measuring regional nightglow: USU students launched a night sky monitoring effort in Logan, training volunteers to gauge sky brightness across Cache Valley. The data could shape local lighting decisions and protect dark skies — see how to get involved.
Fresh addition to local fitness: Burn Boot Camp has opened in Providence, bringing 45-minute circuit workouts, complimentary childcare, and a joint-friendly floating floor, with local owners reporting a strong start and a four-week grand-opening promotion — read the full story.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Craving a curry night: Thai House makes easy dinners actually exciting with classic Thai dishes built on fresh ingredients and real Thai spices. Whether it’s a no-fuss weeknight or a spontaneous date, this Logan favorite delivers cozy, reliable flavor that feels like comfort without the effort.
Fabric fix, anyone? Stylish Fabrics and Quilts has been Logan’s go-to since 1958, stocked with quilting cotton, flannel, Minky, and Bernina, Juki, and Handi Quilter machines. Find classes, tools, and a reliable repair center… then finally tackle that project you promised yourself you’d start.
Breakfast anytime, friend: At Angie’s, the griddle stays on: a Logan staple for fluffy pancakes at noon, a sturdy patty melt, or a share of the legendary Clean the Sink sundae with your chaos crew, perfect for a midweek indulgence.
What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →
