In this first part of a running series of The Independent’s most read articles of 2015, we give you the top ten articles submitted by our regular feature writers. Check back over the next couple of days for more “Top Ten” articles, culminating in our weekly Sunday Edition which will feature the top ten news, opinion, Southern Utah Gardening, Hiking Southern Utah, and cartoons from the past year. But let’s start out with the Features.
In her column, “The Crystal View,” Crystal Schwalger grabbed everyone’s attention with her piece on child abduction. Jonathan Decker illustrated why it’s always a good idea to say you’re sorry to your kids in his feature column, “Your Family Expert.” And Candice Reed, aka “Mama Bear,” shook her fist at the sky in the aftermath of this summer’s deadly flash floods.
George Scott’s writing on the tiny living movement was consistently in the limelight, and he touched us with his tender optimism in writing about the passing of his son in his “Tiny Living in a Giant World” feature column. And then I wrote two extremely stupid “gardening” pieces that were just dumb enough to publish … I guess people really did want to learn how to grow back hair and mold! Here are our top ten articles from 2015 in our Features series in order of views from most to fewest.
