BLANDING, San Juan County A significant Navajo Nation trading post at the heart of Monument Valley in southeast Utah received major recognition Thursday as efforts begin to save it before it s possibly lost forever.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation named the Oljato Trading Post one of its 11 most endangered historic sites in the United States this year, which highlights it as one of the more important historic sites in desperate need of rehabilitation to preserve it.
The listing comes as members of the Navajo Nation and also historians have started to look into ways to rehabilitate the structures tied to the trading post and turn them into a new community center and tourism destination at the center of growing popular outdoors spots like Monument Valley and Bears Ears National Monument.

SALT LAKE CITY Guns once again were a contentious issue on Capitol Hill during the Legislature’s 45-day session that ended March 5, and after several tries through the years, lawmakers succeeded in ending the permit requirement for carrying a concealed weapon in Utah.
HB60 lets any Utah resident who is 21 years or older and can legally possess a firearm to carry their weapon concealed without needing a permit. It received final legislative approval in early February, and Gov. Spencer Cox signed the bill Feb. 15.
During debate on the issue, bill sponsor Rep. Walt Brooks, R-St. George, was skeptical there could be reconciliation between the two sides.

SALT LAKE CITY A Utah bill to limit “no-knock” warrants that allow police to force entry into people’s homes without warning faltered in a legislative committee on Friday, struggling to find enough traction to clear its first legislative hurdle.
No-knock warrants have received nationwide scrutiny since the high-profile death of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman who was shot and killed after Louisville, Kentucky, police forced entry into her apartment during a botched raid.
Taylor’s death on March 13 along with George Floyd’s killing May 25 became a symbol for the nationwide movement calling for police reform and an end to racial injustice. In the wake of her killing, the Louisville Metro Council banned no-knock search warrants. So did the states of Virginia, Florida, Oregon, and at least 13 local governments or police departments.
