On Thursday mornings, historian Stephan Zacharias takes visitors to key spots around town, telling the story of Moab before mining. It’s part of a new tour from the Moab Museum, focused on the cowboys of Southeast Utah and the long lineage of Spanish, Indigenous and African cultures that made them who they are today. Plus, Utah clean-air advocates are supportive of the EPA’s proposed soot standard, but want the federal agency to go further. And later, a report on Navajo coal miners suffering from the effects of black lung disease. Finally, the Moab Sun News previews the Moab City Council’s latest agenda.
