The winners and the losers

• Winner: Given the often-corrupting influence of stardom, we're not sure whether making a 13-year-old the next big thing in country music is good, but there is no denying that Katelyn Jolley of Clinton is worthy of that title.

• Loser: Sorry, the No Child Left Behind law has a lot of flaws, but it can't reasonably be made a major factor in rising obesity rates among American children. That's the bizarre premise of a documentary directed by a young Utahn best known for a film about Michael Moore's visit to Utah Valley State College.

If it were true, obesity rates would have spiked after the law was passed. In truth, obesity rates are climbing — both here and in other nations that have no such law — because of a variety of factors.
