Beehive to a couple dozen Polynesian youths in Utah County for trying to discourage their peers from smoking. The group created a poster for the state Health Department's Real Noise anti-tobacco youth advertising contest. Though not the contest winner, the poster will be used by local businesses. Good work.

Buffalo Chip to the Utah Department of Transportation for even considering making the Mountain View Corridor a toll road. Toll roads are objectionable because Utahns already pay federal and state taxes for highways, and they favor some residents at the expense of others. People on the east side are not paying a toll on Interstate 15. It would be one thing if a parallel route were available to give people a choice. But that's not the case. Tolls are inappropriate on primary corridors.

Buffalo Chip to Provo City for putting a downtown parking lot up for sale without providing notice of a public hearing as required by law. The city has admitted that the item was left off a meeting's agenda, leaving business owners in the dark. The snafu seems to have been an accident, and the city plans another public hearing so the matter gets due scrutiny.
