Buffalo Chip to Orem police for a two-week delay in getting word out to the public about a man in a store who inappropriately touched a 3-year-old girl in a shopping cart. It happened May 14, but the news wasn't released to the public until Thursday, May 29. A surveillance camera took pictures of a suspect, but police reportedly thought they didn't need the public's assistance in identifying and rounding up the man. Evidently, they were wrong. The oldest saying in criminology is that clues grow cold over time. This one sounds positively icy.
Beehive to three American Fork High School students who identified four asteroids as part of a NASA program tied to their astronomy class. Bryce Tholl, Clinton McClesky and Karlee Craig studied Internet images of space that were taken by telescopes at the Astronomical Research Institute observatory in Charleston, Ill. Our hat is off to them for tackling such an advanced project, and succeeding.
Buffalo Chip to motorists testing out the new Legacy Parkway in Davis County. There's just one problem: the parkway won't open until September. Officials report that some drivers are ignoring orange barrels and other warning signs barring traffic on the unfinished road. Walkers, joggers and bikers have also been spotted. It's not safe, highway officials say. Actually, if those kinds of people are on the loose, it won't be safe even when it does open.
Beehive to a Timpview High School senior who won a $25,000 scholarship for academic achievement, one of only six winners in the United States. Anne Wright of Provo was selected for the annual Micron scholarship not only for her scholastic achievements but also for taking part in a wide range of other activities. It's a tribute to her energy and curiosity.
