From Deseret News archives:
The winners and the losers
• Winner: The Center for Women in Children in Provo is more than $80,000 richer today thanks to the herculean fund-raising efforts of students at Riverton High. More importantly, though, those students have gained an important awareness of the problem of domestic abuse, why it happens and what sorts of things can be done to help stop it. The school's efforts included a survey that found about 30 percent of students have been involved in domestic abuse, according to a story in this newspaper.
A student-body officer probably spoke for many others when he said those results shocked him. We wish more people could become shocked by this problem that exists, often secretly, in our midst.
• Loser: Don't get caught with khat. That was the lesson two refugees in Utah gave everyone else this week. The two were charged with smuggling the stuff an exotic stimulant from Ethiopia into the state. For many people, this just adds one more thing to the list of things they need to warn their children about.
