Kirk is that kind of guy &#8212; very  creative, very dependable.<\/p>\n<p>This piece brings back a lot of memories for me: long afternoons  of waiting for press conferences during Crandall Canyon, late nights  running around the newsroom during Amber Alerts, feeling tremendous  sadness the morning I sat down at my desk to find out President Faust  had died, feeling triumphant during awesome live shots from Milford  Flats.  A lot of these stories broke on weekends, and the vast majority  of them came from shows that I helped produce.<\/p>\n<p>The major stories of the year were all pretty heavy, especially  Trolley Square and Crandall Canyon.  But as I look back on it all, I&#8217;m  really proud of what we did this year.  Day after day, the people I work  with turned out high-quality stories that I was pleased to bring to the  people of Utah, and I think we did a pretty good public service.  I  watched the story at various stages of completion several times over the  last couple of days, and every time I see it, I get emotional.  Good  job, Kirk, for capturing what we did over 365 days in just over 6  minutes of video.<\/p>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/cdn.dayport.com\/ktvximg\/dayportcore\/dpm\/DayPortPlayers.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n\/\/ <![CDATA[\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n\/\/ <![CDATA[\nDayPortPlayer.newPlayer({articleID:\"77567\",bannerAdObjectID:\"5\",videoAdObjectID:\"4\",videoAdConDefID:\"2\",playerInstanceID:\"27574A89-06D1-CD92-4444-22719C5099EC\",domain:\"video.ktvx.com\",autoplay:\"false\",rootCategory:\"null\",categoryID:\"8\"});\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today on ABC 4 News, we&#8217;re running a fantastic year-ender piece that our editor Kirk Colton put together.
