Only the lonely need apply No. 2 Hold the phone! We've got our list of the 10 most eligible women in the county. Now perhaps we'll have to throw a pizza party for both lists. We'll let you know if any matches are made.
The eligible women on our list, representing a variety of ages, professions and approximate annual incomes, are: 1. Shannon Engemann, 27, model and makeup artist, $25,000; 2. Pam White, 40, PR director Mountain View Hospital, more than $20,000; 3. Amanda Alspaugh, 24, executive assistant at Sundance, $22,000; 4. Barbara Curtis, 53, financial consultant at Shearson Lehman, more than $35,000; 5. Cheri Murray, 31, confidential secretary to Commissioner Malcolm Beck, $20,000; 6. Loyal Clark, 33, Uinta National Forest public information officer, more than $28,000; 7. Ann Richardson, 50, coordinator of student programs at UVCC, $22,000; 8. Marilyn Toone, 42, Utah County Film Commission director, more than $25,000; 9. Fiona McHardy, 24, PR director Provo/Orem Chamber of Commerce, $13,000; 10. Annette Mecham, 26, director public and investor relations at Rocky Mountain Helicopters, more than $25,000.And the honorable mentions are: Geneel Scott, who works in the county auditor's office, called with a couple of nominations for our list of most eligible women.
Making an obvious reference to our list of eligible bachelors, Geneel said: "The nominations should include at least two of the Mrs. Wayne Watsons, one Mrs. Richard Johnson and one Mrs. Gary Golightly."
Now, now, let's be friendly. But consider it done, Geneel.
So he makes a dumb bumper sticker . . . In last week's column of the 10 most eligible bachelors in the county we listed Peter Valcarce, a business developer for Cannon Industries, as one of our choices.
In the same column we slammed a bumper sticker seen around the valley that says "Have you slugged your protester today?" Turns out the bumper sticker is one of five that Peter and a friend produced and marketed during the Persian Gulf war.
"I can't believe you don't like my bumper sticker," Peter called to tell us. Believe it, Peter. We won't hold it against you, though.
Peter says he sold only a couple hundred copies of the bumper stickers in Utah. "It would have been a hot seller in northern California," he said.
Picture this: It's obvious that the writers of this column are among the least photogenic people in history. We hated the initial photo that ran in this space two weeks ago. We like these photos better.
But Provo City administrators still aren't satisfied.
"We don't think the pictures are in keeping with the lighthearted nature of the column," said Raylene Ireland, the mayor's administrative assistant. "We want them changed."
Changed to what? "We demand a caricature," she said.
Good idea. Can anyone out there draw? "Loose change" appears in the Deseret News on Mondays. To reach Dennis or Brooke, call 374-1162 or send us a fax at 377-5701.
