One baby bear must have been on the search for more than the bare necessities when he wound up near two schools in Sanpete County. It happened yesterday near Mt. Pleasant Elementary and North Sanpete High School. Those schools were placed on a secure status while officials looked for mama bear. They didn't find the mama bear, but the baby bear certainly is cute.

Do lemon cars have you feeling sour? You're certainly not alone! Utah has a Lemon Law to help with these kinds of cars -- cars that generally have persistent safety, value, or utility issues. The law here only applies to new cars, not used cars. But maybe that could change? Holly and Greg talk about calls from the head of Utah's consumer protection division to expand the Lemon Law to used vehicles.

The school year that just started is the final school year for the Alpine School District in Utah County. We spoke with the superintendent of that district last week, and he told us about some of the plans the district is working on before the split into three districts next year. Now, we're learning about a study that could result in the closure of several schools within one of those new districts: the Timpanogos District. This one covers Orem, Pleasant Grove, Lindon, and Vineyard. Ahead of a public meeting tomorrow night about the study, Holly and Greg chat with Tyler Vigue, Director of Communications for the Timpanogos School District.

And the lawsuits begin! Nevada -- a lower Colorado River basin state -- is now suing the Trump Administration over its plans for the future of the river. The state says they do not want to cut its water usage. In fact, they say they can't. Their suit has some pretty stark reactions from Utah state leaders, with Speaker Mike Schultz saying the lawsuit makes a difficult situation even more difficult.

Transforming pain and tragedy into something uplifting and positive—that's the goal of a national movement toward a day of service on September 11th. This nationwide service project is coming to Utah next month, hoping to inspire Utahns to spend the day helping their neighbors and their communities. Andrea Sorkin, VP of National Programs at 9/11 Day, explains how listeners can get involved in the movement.

It can be a touchy or taboo topic, but it's important: youth suicide. The state of Utah is preparing to release a new report detailing the trends, causes, and signs of teenage suicide in our state. The Department of Health and Human Services takes a closer look at social connections and family treatment -- plus mental health -- to see how all of these things affect youth suicide rates. Dr. Michael Staley, Suicide Prevention Research Coordinator for the Utah Office of the Medical Examiner, previews the report with Greg and Holly.

As we move to the midterms, what's your top issue? As you look to cast your ballot, what's the biggest thing driving your vote? Brand new data out from the Deseret News and Hinckley Institute of Politics finds that the economy and jobs are the top issue for Utah voters. For more on the poll and what candidates should take from it as we move towards Election Day, Greg and Holly get more information from the editor of the Deseret News, Sarah Jane Weaver.

This morning, President Trump says he is seriously considering renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America. Why? Because we're in this trade war with our neighbors to the north. Just this morning, Canada announced retaliatory tariffs on about $20 billion worth of American goods, including dairy, steel, appliances, and farming equipment. So what does this mean for you and your wallet -- what things are going to go up in price? Inside Sources digs into it in this segment.

A man who spent decades on Utah's death row and is now facing a new trial for aggravated murder is expected to learn more about his potential future tomorrow. Douglas Carter was convicted of murdering Eva Olesen in 1985. But new information -- plus misconduct by police and prosecutors during his original trial -- resulted in his conviction and death sentence being overturned by the Utah Supreme Court.

As attorneys prepare for a new trial, Carter's biological son is speaking publicly for the first time about this whole process and experience, and how learning who his father was at 18 has dictated much of his adult life. KSL spoke exclusively with Tyler Anger and his wife, Melissa, about the experience. KSL Podcasts executive producer Amy Donaldson has been covering this story; she joins Greg and Holly with more on the Angers' experiences.

The United States Supreme Court has denied several states' lawsuit against the Trump administration over the President's executive order restricting mail-in voting. That clears the way for the U.S. Postal Service to potentially refuse to deliver ballots based on criteria from the President. This has left Holly with one central question: under what constitutional authority does the United States Postal Service -- or even the President of the United States -- have to say her mail-in ballot shouldn't count? She and Greg engage in a lively conversation, and Greg shares his takes on the opinion from the Supreme Court. They're joined by Bridger Beal-Cvetko, digital political reporter with KSL.
