OBSERVATIONS FROM UTAH....

SENT IN BY JIM MCCREA
If a man plans on getting his haircut in Grand Rapids, Michigan Jude's Barber Shop used to be the place to go. With each haircut came a free beer, a practice that started many years ago. To protect the citizens the Michigan Attorney General has decreed that unless Jude gets a liquor license the free beer has to go. Fernanda Smith had a good thing going at Ghedotti's Restaurant in Park City, Utah where she was a waitress. If she thought the tips her customers put on their credit cards was not reflective of her excellent service she corrected the error and added what she considered appropriate on the credit card tab. She was up over a thousand dollars before the Summit County Sheriff called a halt and invited Fernanda to spend time in the local jail. Hampton's Cleaners in Ogden has a coupon for $10.00 off a Wedding Dress dry cleaning in case you have a need to re-use your gown. (801)731-3385 is the number to call if you are interested in purchasing a $350.00 genuine coyote rug. Over 200 children participated in last Saturday's Easter Egg Hunt in Brigham City's Pioneer Park and collected over 27,000 pieces of candy. (Do the math, divide 27,000 by 200 and see how many tummy aches resulted). Today's Salt Lake Tribune reports on current peace officers in the Bee Hive State that disciplines were meted out to a Centerville Police Officer for felony child abuse, a Salt Lake County Deputy Sheriff for sexual misconduct with a prisoner, a Utah Highway Patrol officer for criminal trespass, a South Ogden Police Officer for domestic violence, a University of Utah Police Officer for driving under the influence, an Ogden Police Officer for sexual misconduct, and finally a Washington County received a three year suspension for telling a lie. Perhaps this information may take your mind off of the sad news that one will no longer be able to purchase a one pound hamburger at Big Guy's Restaurant in Newport. Kindest regards, Jim McCrea
