Watching football made easy via local restaurants

It’s football season, and you either have to pay for the Season Pass and DirecTV or miss out on some of your team’s most exciting games. While watching the game from the comfort of your own home may no longer be an option, St. George offers some great places to go to watch your favorite […]

Hotel Transylvania a Halloween delight

Mummies, zombies and an invisible man fill the rooms at “Hotel Transylvania,” a spook-filled mansion meant to keep all monsters safe from those creepy, evil creatures they call humans. “Hotel Transylvania” wasn’t what I was expecting: a spooky movie that resembled “The Nightmare before Christmas,” an entertaining cartoon for children and adults. Yet it was nothing like that […]

Breakup reactions often go too far

Break-ups are full of lust, love, jealousy and temperamental ignorance, but sometimes those nasty little fights or fits of jealousy go a wee bit too far.  A friend of mine keyed a girl’s car for talking to her man when they weren’t together. Yep, she went too far. Now don’t get me wrong: I’ve been […]

Starving students not focus of Starving Student Card

Students at Dixie State College say the Starving Student Card has a misleading name. The Starving Student Card is supposed to be geared toward students trying to find the best bang for their buck at restaurants, but is the card really for starving students? Vanessa Giebink, a freshman undecided major from Mesquite, Nev., said they […]

Darkness not deterrent for sporty students

Elementary and middle school night games are usually played in small towns on somebody’s farm, in a tight-knit neighborhood or in a church parking lot.  Does that seem strange? Wasn’t the curfew in the 1980s at sunset? Not anymore. From elementary to college, night games are still a fad.  “It all started by doing mostly […]

Talent gathers for open mic at Jazzy’s Rock n Roll Grill

The music is loud, and the crowd is animated. Local talent is seeping through the speakers and out the door onto the street. Wednesday night at Jazzy’s Rock N Roll Grill is something you won’t want to pass up. Let’s be honest: Nightlife in St. George is hard to come by—and on a weekday it’s almost […]

New Holland Commons makes rest of campus bleak by comparison

It’s structurally sound, beautifully made and magnificently placed dead center on Dixie State College’s campus.  The new Jeffrey R. Holland Centennial Commons building is amazing, I’ll give it that. It took my breath away the moment I walked through the front door. It exceeded every expectation I had of it—minus the abstract ugly carpet decorated […]

Newest Sears Art Gallery showing dedicated to family of artists

The DSC Sears Art Gallery is holding an exhibit that makes it all relative, literally. “It’s all Relative” is an exhibit showcasing sculptures, India inks, acrylic and pastel portraits created by mother Merle Olson, daughter Darlene Morgan and nephew Brian Challis. The exhibit, which clearly states that all the art runs in the family, is […]

Whitehead demolition will progress through first week of school

The Holland Centennial Commons is up and running, and the Whitehead demolition has begun after the state deemed it unsafe. Sherry Ruesch, executive director of campus services, said she’s been working very closely on the plans for the Holland construction and Whitehead demolition for the past two years. She said she’s thrilled to see students’ […]

Students get slippery and slide at Red Storm Splash

A wave of people slipped into the notorious True Rebel fountain Friday for The Red Storm Splash.  The Red Storm Splash, an activity that immediately followed Freshman Friday, was designed to get freshmen and upperclassmen ready for the first of the year. Sami Warnick, vice president of student life, said the Red Storm Splash has become a school […]
