So before Addie was born, I had plans to save the newspaper from that morning. I didn’t. So thanks to the wonders of the internet and the Salt Lake Tribune Archives, I was able to pull up all the headlines from June 11, 2008 (although I would have to pay for full articles, which I won’t…) Here are the keepers.
Paul Rolly: Utah liquor laws snatch fliers’ spirits
June 11, 2008
Direct flights between Salt Lake City and Paris will bring great economic and tourism benefits to Utah, giddy state officials have said. It also may have an unintended downside, due to Utah’s, let’s say, uniqueness.
With Utah’s strict liquor-control laws, it is illegal to bring booze into the state from abroad, even for personal use. All alcohol must be purchased from state liquor stores.
Ahh yes, glory be our liquor laws… weren’t we trying to increase tourism in Utah??

Most at public hearing favor doing away with private club memberships and fees
June 11, 2008 Posted: 2:53 PM-
The majority of people attending a public hearing today on Utah’s liquor laws said the state should do away with private club memberships and fees to boost economic development. Fifty of the 60 people signing an attendance sheet indicated they wanted to abolish the 1960s law requiring imbibers to join a private club and pay a fee before they can buy a glass of wine or distilled spirits. Utah is the only state with such a requirement.

Vietnam memorial wall to open today in Ogden
June 11, 2008
The Wall that Heals, a traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial that begins a four-day stay in Ogden today, is a half-size replica of The Wall in Washington. But it still covers a patch of asphalt nearly the length of a football field on the southwest side of Ogden’s Newgate Mall.
The wall includes the names of 58,240 men and nine women who died serving the United States in the Vietnam War and is one of four traveling the country.
