Beehive to Provo and Orem police for intercepting a potential mass shooter. Kidus Chane Yohannes, 20, an Ethiopian immigrant attending Utah Valley State College, used false information to buy firearms, police say. Yohannes's roomates -- to whom we award a share of this Beehive -- told police that Yohannes had grown despondent after losing a job and was building an arsenal of weapons and ammunition while talking about committing mass murder. Police said they were still looking for two AK-47 rifles they believe Yohannes bought at a local pawn shop. Anybody out there with information who wants a Beehive?

Beehive to Nu Skin and its employees who created literacy kits for needy people in Utah County and desperate orphans in Malawi, in southwestern Africa. The global neutraceutical company has long been determined to change the world. It established the Foundation for Good about 10 years ago. The foundation has served millions of meals to malnourished and impoverished children. "I love knowing that I'm part of that because it makes my job seem like more," said volunteer RaLyn McManus.

Buffalo Chip (double) to the Utah Democratic Party for an anti-school voucher campaign that likens Utah parents who support vouchers to racist, Confederate flag-waving segregationists from the 1950s South. The campaign also attempts to smear Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman, who was a strong advocate of school vouchers from 1955 until his death in November. The campaign, currently displayed on the party's Web site, describes Friedman as a "prominent economist known for extreme free-market philosophies." Sure, Friedman, a real wacko. Never mind that he inspired Ronald Reagan to initiate some of the most successful economic policies the nation has ever seen. Friedman championed vouchers for sound economic and social reasons (see friedmanfoundation.org) that Utahns ought to review.

Beehive to the kindred spirit of Forrest Gump for his 24-hour run for hunger. Jordan Maxwell, 17, of Highland pounds out the miles to earn cash for the Utah Food Bank. He started at midnight Thursday morning, and by 8 p.m. was up to 65 miles. He said the impetus for the run was an inspirational high school English teacher. He and some friends -- Chelsi Brunt, Nikole Higgins and Tyler Smith -- started a hunger club during their last year at Lone Peak High School to help local people in need. With this much running, Jordan can probably get away with eating a box of chocolates. To donate directly to Run for Hunger contact Chelsi Brunt at (801) 735-7067.
