From Deseret News archives:
The winners and the losers
This week, Utah's Great Basin Water Network filed a petition appealing the state engineer's ruling. We wish them well. As insightful observers have noted through the years, in the West, water truly is more precious than gold.
• Winner: A runaway bull in a busy suburb doesn't usually qualify as a winner, but we liked the free spirit of the animal that got loose in South Jordan this week. The bull skirted traffic on busy streets, toured Riverton, then came back to South Jordan. Every time authorities had him trapped, he found a way to escape.
Finally, he jumped a fence and surrounded himself with a bunch of attractive heifers. Bulls may not be as stupid as people think.
• Loser: Unlike the frisky bull, a man who decided to jog naked by women working out in a health center in Sandy on Tuesday is definitely a loser. He came by twice, wearing nothing but running shoes and a hat, smiling and waving. Authorities couldn't corral him, either.
Other than that, however, the ordinance's tough 48-hour graffiti removal plan would allow Provo to make its mark, so to speak, on a problem vexing the Wasatch Front.
