Buffalo Chip to Walter Bugden for trying to get a journalist to do his dirty work. Bugden is the attorney for Warren Jeffs, leader of the FLDS Church who is facing rape-by-accomplice charges for performing a marriage ceremony between a 14-year-old girl and her 19-year-old cousin. Bugden subpoenaed Deseret Morning News reporter Ben Winslow to force him to reveal who at the courthouse confirmed that the note Jeffs attempted to pass to the judge in April said that Jeffs never was a prophet. Bugden argued unsuccessfully that he needed to find out who was jeopardizing Jeffs's right to a fair trial. We don't see anything unfair about printing the truth.

Beehive to Mapleton and Wendell Gibby for finally settling their differences on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Gibby and the city have fought over the portion of the trail that crossed through Gibby's property and Gibby's plans to develop the land. Under the settlement, Gibby will get to build houses at a higher density (read "make more money") in return for his allowing the city to connect to the Bonneville Trail along the west side of his property. If these combatants can reach an accord, there may be hope for Israel and the Palestinians.

Buffalo Chip to Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson for taking his opposition to an elevated walkway to new heights -- literally. Anderson has inexplicably opposed plans to link two proposed downtown malls with a pedestrian bridge over Main Street, claiming it would kill the area by removing pedestrian traffic from the sidewalks and block the view of Ensign Peak. The City Council overrode his veto of the plan, but the intrepid Anderson is not deterred. He is looking at selling the rights to the air above Main Street to block the walkway. The concept is the same as an easement on ground: if you don't have the right to pass through the space, you can't use it. We're not sure exactly who controls Salt Lake City airspace, but we suspect it is the Federal Aviation Administration. Aside from that, how much can Salt Lake City air be worthfi Anderson produces so much that supply far exceeds demand.

Beehive to Jacob Jones and his classmates for helping Tonga find an alternative to diesel fuel. Jones, a BYU chemical engineering major, led a group of students in a research project to turn coconut oil into a fuel for diesel engines. Tonga must import diesel fuel, but it has a surplus of coconuts. The students studied the chemical composition of coconuts and the economics of using coconut oil as fuel. In May, they trained Tongans how to make biodiesel and demonstrated the process for government officials by running a diesel engine off the fuel they made.
