From Deseret News archives:
The winners and the losers
"Pirates of the Caribbean," "High School Musical" and a lot of other big name films and TV productions are being added to Utah's already impressive list of credits big news for the state even though most film viewers aren't aware they are looking at Utah scenery.
Loser: This week's Utah Gang Conference was an important reminder that organized crime remains a huge problem in Utah. The conference made it clear that the problem extends to places like St. George and Tooele, and that gangs are becoming more violent.
The good news is that gang-related crimes overall are down in Utah. The bad news? "There are several things that are happening in the valley that could escalate in an hour," said Sgt. Bill Robertson with the Salt Lake Metro Gang Unit.
