The large crowd this year enjoyed free watermelon, restored tractors, games, sports, handcrafted items, and much more. Thumbs down: To some joyriding teenagers who caused a lot of damage recently in Washington Terrace after the truck the pair were in crashed on Har­rison Boulevard near Country Hills Drive. Three vehicles were dam­aged and several persons were taken to hospitals. Thumbs up: To members of churches in the Top of Utah who offered public displays of support for the police. Law enforcement has been struggling with a lot of criticism and we're pleased that these supporters understand that police officers are overall a pos­itive, hard-working asset to commu­nities. Thumbs down: To a salmonella outbreak with cucumbers that affected 27 states and left at least 30 Utahns sickened. An­drew & Williamson Fresh Produce of San Diego had to recall its "Limited Edition" brand af­ter hundreds became sick. Thumbs up: To off-duty law en­forcement officers, from the Ogden Police Department, who helped Lorna Huggins, 70, tear down a barn on property she just sold in Marriott-Slaterville. Huggins wanted to sal­vage the wood and we appreciate the help she received. Thumbs down: To Donald Trump, and his latest attack on a woman. The GOP frontrunner disparaged the looks of fellow Republican candidate Carly Fiorina in an interview pub­lished in Rolling Stone magazine. Trump's lat­est bit of sexism and cruelty is, as always, unwelcome.
