Hmm, Deseret News, Mormon Times section - has lots of LDS readers... Who like to read human interest stories about one of our own...

We're a close-knit community, much like an ethnic group or clan.

No duh! With a majority in the state mormon the odds are pretty good. I would take this bet on nearly every accomplishment in utah! And this is what the mormon times has become? Sad!

It isn't a mormon times article, rather it is an LDS news article. These go all around the world and target specifically LDS people. I remember reading them in Portugal.

Thank you for the compliment of stating that "odds are pretty good" that a Utah mormon would be listed No. 1 in the nation for all 10-year-olds!

Mormon kid does good in the Deseret News. I am shocked! If you haters don't like it don't read the paper and better yet move if you don't like being around LDS. Good luck in you ventures.
