SALT LAKE CITY In February 1848, Isaac Chase stalled the vigorous swing of his pick at the sound of something metallic in a hole by a creek in what is now Liberty Park.
Chase had arrived in the Salt Lake Valley four months earlier with the first wave of pioneer emigrants of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Breaking from the normal emigrant trails west, these pioneers sought the solitude of a new home and the chance to start new.

Former staff says racism and sexual harassment are rampant at the Royal Canadian Mint
According to several former employees interviewed by CBC News, female security guards at the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa often face sexual harassment and racial ridicule, and their superiors either stand by or join in.
The former staff said that the white protection service staff used the N word for black colleagues, calling them slaves and comparing a woman to a chimpanzee, while another former female employee said she was often sexually harassed.
They say that sexism, harassment and racism drive them to quit their jobs and give up their dreams of entering law enforcement.
