The results video of the United Way contest between Charles Trentleman and Mark Saal will be made available for streaming shortly. Check back here for updated information and to watch the video conclusion of the United Way fundraising event.

Update: It was decided by contributers that Charles Trentelman should be relieved of his beard. Apparently, Mark Saal decided to take advantage of the free haircut despite being the winner. Below is raw footage of the event.

Saal's hair is more patriotic than my beard? It's all a lie

Fellow columnist Mark Saal made spurious allegations about my beard on Sunday. Negative campaigning indicates a degree of desperation, but he should at least approximate the truth.

As you know, Mark and I wagered my beard against his hair to raise funds for the United Way. If the chart on our wager this paper ran Sunday is any indication, Mark is winning.

C'mon, folks, do your patriotic duty and protect my hair

You tell yourself you aren't going to do it.

You say you're better than that, you're stronger -- that no matter what, you simply refuse to sink to their level.

And then it happens. Somewhere between the good intentions and the naive promises, you end up going all negative with your campaigning.

I'm afraid we've reached that point with the current race we've got brewing here in the Top o' Utah.

My beard and I are being attacked by kith and kin with razors

This fundraising beard challenge thing is officially ugly. Not the beard. It's gorgeous. But on the fundraising front, I'm seeing stab in the back, rip my heart out and stomp on it betrayal.

The perps? My own wife and kids.

The world may end before hair battle is finished

Mark Saal Standard-Examiner

Remember Harold Camping, the Christian radio broadcaster who made headlines after calculating that the world was going to end on May 21 of this year?

Well, he's at it again. And this time, he really means it.

Apparently, Mr. Camping is undeterred by the fact that seemingly nothing out of the ordinary happened on that particular spring day when all heaven was supposed to break loose. (Well, a Utah horse was euthanized that fateful Saturday -- the first fatality in the state linked to the Equine Herpes Virus -- but that hardly seems apocalyptic.) Nevertheless, Camping continues to insist that a spiritual Rapture did occur on May 21, and that the final game-over event -- wherein the world is utterly destroyed -- is still right on schedule for Oct. 21, 2011.

Looking for a United Way to save my beard from doom

I have not shaved since 1975. A young woman for whom I had the hots said, "You'd look good with a beard," and I had to agree. While I never made it much past first base with her, the beard was a home run. I thought it made me look artistic.

It makes a darn catchy slogan: "The United Way: Thanks to you, I might actually have to get a haircut."
