FOUNTAIN GREEN, Sanpete County — A documentary about rural quilters made by a filmmaker in Sanpete County is nominated for an Emmy. "My grandmother was an avid quilter. I have memories of her sunroom crowded with piles of fabric, antique sewing machines and talk of her ongoing projects and quilting groups," director Carly Jakins said. She wanted to capture her grandmother's passion for the practice, but she died in 2023. So the idea for "American Seams" was born as a way to explore her grandmother's legacy in her own life,...

LOS ANGELES — What looked like a routine play and common leg injury for Angel City's Savy King quickly turned into a much more serious matter in the second half of Friday's match against the Utah Royals. The 20-year-old defender, who played collegiately at North Carolina with Utah's Ally Sentnor, passed the ball and then went to the ground, initially grabbing her leg. An oxygen mask and cart were eventually needed, however, as King's situation took a turn. Angel City confirmed King was transported to the hospital following a "medical...
