Beehives and Buffalo Chips
Beehive to Katelyn Hanson, 17, and others for quick action to save a 19-year-old girl's life. Hanson was walking with Marissa Tomlinson in American Fork when suddenly Marissa began to stagger, and then fell head-first into a ditch full of water. Katelyn jumped into the water, pulled Marissa's head above water and called a friend from her cell phone. Passersby helped, and paramedics then took Marissa to the hospital, where she was treated for hypothermia and an epileptic seizure. Kudos to all who helped.
Beehives to two Utahns honored recently for their public service. The National Governors Association recognized Scott Anderson, president of Zions Bank, for his efforts on behalf of charities, education and health care. Beverley Taylor Sorenson was honored for promoting arts education, especially through Art Works for Kids. Their endeavors put the spotlight on Utah's long tradition of service.
Buffalo Chip to ongoing plans to store nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain. Recent news reports say the project's cost will be billions more than originally estimated. And most of the 77,000 tons of radioactive waste would pass through Utah on its way to the Nevada site. The answer is obvious: Store the stuff at the reactor sites.
Beehives to the Central Utah Harley Owners for donating about a hundred blankets -- made by volunteers with supplies paid for by the club -- to three Utah Valley hospitals. The group has been making such donations for about eight years. Their generosity puts to rest some of the stereotypes about bikers. |

Use some common sense, artemis.
Yes, police departments are staffed by human beings, who do make mistakes. However, as I said in my comment, there was no indication in the article that the Orem PD had delayed alerting the public to what had happened - which means that either the Herald was missing facts yet again, or that the crime wasn't reported immediately (which does happen, and happens frequently). If the police department did delay for two weeks, they might have had a reason...but I have no idea what that would be.
Don't be so touchy, Wren.

Not touchy at all, just wanted a sensible reply, and the above is certainly that.
So the DH may have been misreporting, or the PD may have been delaying, and we all certainly don't know what is going on. Is that correct?

Yep.
I don't see anything to warrant a "Buffalo Chip" unless there's something they aren't saying. But then, I generally don't expect good, fact-based reporting from the Herald.

About Bradley Kitchen: This kind of fraud is part of what's roiling the whole national economy. Blame the real-estate people: it makes a nice cover for a protracted war that is costing about 12 billion a month.
