" 10,397 people "like" the Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation on Facebook. Only 63 people "like" the Transportation Security Administration."
'Nuff said.
2nd that.
I work as a line service tech. Private jets bring jobs to millions of people in the US. From the refineries that sell millions of gallons of JetA and 100LL, to the huge mx firms that fix airplanes, outfit them with cool gadgets, redo the interiors and so on. Not to mention, business people who use private jets almost always use them to get to destinations in order to do business. One of our clients, who owned a G550 N282Q, traveled all over the world for his medical company, selling products and raking in money by the billions that the US government would in turn, TAX. I see eye to eye with democrats when it comes to social issues, but democrats as a whole have no idea how an economy works.
This article talks about "flashy" aspects only; not the positive uses. When Cessna introduced the original Citation, we sold some to individuals, but most to company accountants. That is still true today. The ability to get to a destination, or destinations, in a minimal time at peak efficiency is a major reason to own a corporate aircraft. When you can visit 3-4 sites, get your business done, and return home in one day; it is a good and proper use.
I won't dwell on it, but you might remember how many people aviation manufacturing employs (or did before we became "BAD") and how many aircraft were sold overseas to the benefit of our trade deficit.
The part of VNY being the busiest GA airport in the world is a little off too. According to the ATADS report DVT had over 100,000 more operations in 2012 than VNY.
probably including the big iron
KDVT is mostly, if not all, student training ops. Private jets use KSDL down the road.
The only thing amazing is how bad Forbes has become. Very poorly done article by Forbes. It looks like a quick google search conglomeration with no checking of facts and poor or no editing. A waste of time and energy.
Who's the "Fat Cat" here? Air Force One never seems to shutdown engines. Oh yeah, he's still in Florida - private golf lessons with Harmon and private golf with Mr. Woods. Phony. And, wifey is vacationing in Aspen - taken there by yet another commercial-size private jet ... Integrity? None. Taxpayer dollars? All we need.
No wonder that execs were mad at Obama´s comments on corporate jets and don't tire of extolting the "virtues" of corporate jet travel but very cleaverly dodge the fact that the extraordinarily high costs are written off against tax breaks which means that all these barges are paid for by you and me and millions of taxpayers.
Those execs are the ones who pay the FBO to hangar the bird, the mechanic to work on it, the pilot to fly it, employees of the company who built it... Not to mention all the suppliers who keeps the parts moving, the gas companies that keeps fuel moving as well. When you stop this, you are affecting a lot more than a company exec and his private jet. A Poor man never hired anyone to do his work for him. If the rich do not hire the people, the people will be on well fare. Corporations will survive... If government makes it hard for the to do it, then they are going to cut back. obama and other Liberals do not understand this, obama knows he has power as long as he has control over people. If he keeps supplying them money, they keep supporting him. I feel this is only the beginning. Look through history, other countries were not taken over in a day...
What you say is quite in line with the vision of the companies that make these jets and the 5 million a year execs, and this is fine, what Obaama is saying is that the special tax break privileges should stop now. So don't be a fool nor get angrynhobody is questioning the right to work of the fuelers, pilots, mechannics, line boys, etc.
chalet, you are not thinking things thru. Tax breaks should be given to the tax generators. Government uses taxes to reward or discourage behavior. The use of corporate jets make big companies big money and adds to the tax base as business expands. obama wants to discourage this. What he and his washington posse can't figure out is the math. Would you rather get 50% of 10 million dollars or lower taxes, let business expand, and get 30% of 20 million dollars? Raise taxes and the equation goes the other way. Its not rocket science.
The expenses related to corporate jets are staggering as this Forbes (a mazazine that is a 100% for corporate America) article shows and it is not fully justified, it is just an excuse for the big shots to travel in a very cushy manner as opposed to mainstream of working people made up of engineers, salesmen, professionals which comprise the remaining 99.9999% of the work force and who have to travel in a most modest manner. Just to show you an example, when there is a big event like the Superbowl and others the amount of "corporate" jets descending upon the locale begs for an explanation, and who pays for all of that; all those expenses are shifted to the corporation which in turn affects profitability and thence amount of taxes paid. This is what President Obama is against.
Your example is perfect! As a corporate pilot, I have been there and the Kentucky Derby, Daytona 500, etc etc. You don't know how many hundreds of millions of dollars worth of deals are transacted at these events. Companies take customers there. Not just one or two execs to enjoy the event. Customers treated to such events often sign the deal and the trip expense is minor considering the profit. Profit that they then pay taxes on. As I said, Obama can't figure out the connection and wants to kill another golden goose for the sake of impressing his blindly faithful minions.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg, then there is the best seats in the house at NHL, NBA, golf, tennis functions, you name it. You don't see this largesse in Japan, Korea, China, UK, France or Germany, do you.
Let's make this simple. If I give you a cookie, would you buy some lemonade from me. All the other countries you mentioned do it. China is one of the fastest growing biz-jet markets in the world. Maybe not to our largesse as you say, but then they don't have an economy our size either. Hummm? I wonder why? Oh yeah, thats because they run their counties like obama wants to run ours.
China´s GNP is soon to catch up with America, anyway the distances there are staggering still their executives fly commercial 99.9999% of the time and economy at that, not first class. Yes there are a number of Chinese billionaires who are buying private jets.
Finally someone who sticks up for aviation on an avaiton website! Well said Sparkie!
I love this fairness stuff. Jimmy Hoffa flies on a private jet with my union dues, and he doesn't any pay taxes. Nobody has a problem with that. Sparkie, Liberals don't want fuel moving it creates "Climate change". Our Celebrity in chief, Obama who just talked about global warming / climate change (terms change everyday) in the state of the union. The next weekend, Michelle jets off to ASE and he's in PBI playing golf. And I'm sure nobody has a problems with our dear leader polluting the environment. But I forgot, its only those rich republicans that pollute the environment with their private jets. Aleast execs can afford their private jet, unlike Obama.
Well said Sparkie. Our friend here won't get it. We've been down that road a dozen times here.
What tax breaks, specifically? The same depreciation schedules that every company gets for major capital expenditures? We've covered this before, the ultimate taxation is not changed, only the timing of the deduction. Taxpayers aren't subsidizing corporate aircraft.
I have to agree Brian, any sort of machinery used to make money, is a business expense...... used in order to produce more revenue.
I get to deduct a per Diem of $55 a day when away from home doing work or laying over. Business expense.
A retailer I know of, uses his fleet of 8 aircraft to ferry employees back and forth for product training. Almost on a daily basis. That cost is deductible under current laws. The practice is also a highly efficient way of containing costs of overnight lodging, travel, and productivity. And it has been proven to increase revenues.
One company who's operations cover a 33 state area, must have transport available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to manage not only incidents, but to keep in contact with customers and regulators.
Yes, there are endless stories pro and con. However, I find it unbecoming of a man who is the Leader [sic] of a major world power, who speaks towards economic development, to resort to what can only be viewed as class warfare. Further, to ignore the economic impact, is akin to living under a large rock.
I believe the word in Yiddish is, chutzpah!
the main stream media does not care about the hourly rates on those 2 holiday excursions. Only Fat Cats that pay the costs care about rates
Let's see here,Private Jet Charter costs $2400 an hour. Air Force One costs $180,000 an hour. I have no idea how much Michelles Jet Runs an hour, but I am sure it is a six digit figure. The people I fly aroung generate jobs and stimulate the economy because they are good at it.
If it were up to me, the ones at the top of our government would only get a C-21(Lear Jet 35). I was taught to lead by example while serving in the military. I say to our leaders.....Lead Follow or Get The Hell out of the way.
It's funny that this story popped up today. I was looking at the History Channel yesterday, and they had a special about Air Force One et al. Apparently, whenever AF1 travels, AF2 must travel along in case something happens. They also take 'The Beast' and 2 other presidential limos on a C130, I believe. I'm not sure if anything has changed, but that's a lot of fuel being used at a very high hourly rate.
yep.....not to mention the escorts in the air and on the ground
Those procedures have been in effect ever since Pres Reagan was shot. Yes it's over-much....but nothing really new! Too bad such procedures weren't in effect for Pres Kennedy.....
I believe Kennedy was an inside job anyway
I couldn't agree more! Oh yes; I've seen the many re-takes,re-makes,re-runs, ad- nauseam..... as have you!! But JFK,RFK,MLK... all similar! Makes no sense to me then.... or now!
That is back when there were people that were still proactive in the country and especially in politics. Now everyone has sold out for money. Just can't get a good conspiracy going these days.
Seems really unorganized and only basic facts, many of which I already knew.
If you do away with depreciation and expense deductions on private aircraft then to be fair you would do the same on cars, airline travel, all capital expenditures, etc. in other words just go to a flat use tax. Ok!
Clearly Forbes is unable to interpret facts and figures correctly when they say "✈ There were 1,466 private jet crashes in 2011, resulting in 263 fatalities"
They need to read researched documentation more thoroughly.
The man does not understand that we are not a Democracy... We are a Republic... Seeing how he does not usually put his hand over his heart when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, it is no wonder that he does not understand the term "to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God," He certainly does understand the Under God, I doubt he knows what a Republic is and that is a key statement that governs our country.
Keep watching Fox and reading your hoax emails bud...
I think you may be missing some points... Maybe instead for watching these threads maybe a history book would help.
And you might try that same history book....rather than cluttering the conversation w/biblical nonsense! Also; we're talking economics here; not your politics!
I have... you may want to check on the section by Hitler, Mussolini, Saddam. None of these got stated into power all at once.. They all started just like Obama is now... I do not understand why people can see the history, and ignore... Do the same thing over and over and expect the same results. All 3 above got the Same Start that obama has now... A little at a time, and get the hook into people and then it is too late.
There were 1,466 private jet crashes in 2011, resulting in 263 fatalities. And there are 19,258 private jets in the world... fact #1 (Overall, 11,261 private jets were registered for use in the United States, and 7,997 in the rest of the world) 7.6% of the jets crashed that year.. that seems kind of high?
You're right, Eric -- that DID seem REALLY high to me, too. So I did some quick checking. Wading through NTSB data isn't my niche, but...
The "fact" actually, was not 1466 private jet crashes in 2011, but 1466 accidents in the category of 'US General Aviation' -- 263 of those 1466 accidents involved fatalities, losing 444 lives.
General aviation is the umbrella term for any operation that does not operate under Parts 121, 135, or 129.
source: http://www.ntsb.gov/data/table10_2012.html
For 2010 (I couldn't easily locate the breakdown for 2011) the category of Executive/Corporate had 5 accidents and zero fatalities.
Reviewing the latter report (which is rather lengthy), the overall accident trends over the decade from 2001 - 2010 with some variation year to year, but 2011 was not included. Fatality rates per flight hour have been pretty consistent year to year.
You can find 2011 on page 21 of this report (http://www.ibac.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Business-Aviation-Safety-Brief-111.pdf). Its further broken down by corporate, commercial, manufacturer, private, etc. In 2011, it looks like there were 15 accidents for US registered business jets, one of which was fatal - the test flight for the G650, which killed four.
Thanks for sharing, this is great!
Ahhh yes! Thanks,very informative source of data! Thanks Thomas.
You might also peruse these numbers from NBAA. The above for corporate are a misnomer as they include all of G.A.
Nice work.
Since Washington is the mood of banning things lately (Guns). Lets just band Part 91, and 135 operators from flying corporate jets, because they're "unsafe". That way a ton of people would lose their job, and Obama can create more dependents, and more democrat voters, and therefore more "stimulus". Its hard to win elections, when you're running against Santa Claus.
They pulled all U.S. general aviation "accidents" for 2011 (http://www.ntsb.gov/data/table10_2012.html). The article incorrectly reports these as "private jet crashes." Actually, there have only been 153 accidents globally in the last FIVE years (pg. 7, http://www.ibac.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Business-Aviation-Safety-Brief-111.pdf)
I suspect someone twisted "incidents" into "crashes". I can think of no other reason why the fatality rate would be that low. Getting a wheel stuck in the mud while taxiing will show up in the NTSB database if it is reported.
You Got it.
You have some good points, but off topic... The discussion is tax breaks on Corporate jets... Not how many crash or how many people die each year.
Obummer is nothing but a Marxist & a hypocrite, and alot of Americans, including me, are not interested in anything he has to say!
Amen Andrew.
Move to Mexico or Russia where all the big cats are fleeing (LOL!!!)

Read: We Aren't At The Critical Point Yet
In the Toronto Star, Damien Cox writes that it's time to drop the idea that the talks between the NHLPA and the NHL are at a critical point and that the season is on the verge of being cancelled right now.
He notes that the 2004-05 lockout saw the season cancelled on February 16th and the 1994-95 lockout was ended on January 11.
Cox writes, "We're not even in mid-November yet. Given history, how can anyone possibly say we're at a make-or-break point? That's just phony drama, mostly generated by the media, with little basis in fact."
He notes that the meetings between the two sides this week are the kind of talks that should have started in August but didn't because of the power and strength that each side wanted to show.
Michael Grange writes at Sportsnet that people are describing the talks to him as "slow and labored."
Grange adds "This week would have been a good week if it was the second week of September or maybe even the second week of October. But we're in November now, so there's certainly cause for concern."

I still haven't figured out Twitter yet. I mean, what's the point? As a writer I guess it could be a good place to post those random thoughts I have, rather than keeping a piece of paper and pen with me at all times when a story idea comes along. But, also as a writer, the keystroke limit is killing me. I want to tell the full story but that won't happen in 140 keystrokes. And, really, are my random thoughts that interesting that someone would care? So I think, well, let's give it a shot. And I post:
"After all these years of not cooking because it takes too long, I finally figure out it all boils down to sharp knives."
Does anyone understand what that means? There's a story here. Does anyone care what that story is? I mean, really, I have a university education, run my own business, can balance my own books. How come I just figured out that you don't have to jab and stab in order to slice and dice?
But I can't write the story in 140 keystrokes so, in retrospect, should I have posted that? Does it make me look stupid? Do people actually care? But wait, since I posted it three people are now following me. Can they tell me why they found my post interesting (in 140 keystrokes or less)?
So if that post brought followers…well, I should be getting to the work on my desk…but maybe I'll just post another random thought:
"Show me the money: I am overwhelmed by social networking tools. Should I be hanging out on Twitter or making a living & write that article?"
Notice I use the ampersand (&) because I'm close to my 140 keystroke limit. And why am I posting this question when I have paying work to do? And, again, does anyone care what I'm thinking? Apparently they do because two more people just started following me on Twitter.
But I still don't get it. How can I keep up with all these Tweets and still work enough hours to make a living? And what do these strange things like Tiny URLs and @'s mean anyway?
Oops. Hold that thought. I'm getting dinged by my Blackberry with text messages. So "i'm riting 2 some 1 this wa" because there are text message keystroke limits.
There goes my years of refining my words, spell checking, learning rules of grammar "becuz i don't hav enuf room 2 rite what i need 2."

PHOTOS: A Glimpse at the Rink Inside the Barclays Center
As the Barclays nears its September 28th opening, there have been a lot of photos posted around the internet of the different parts of the building. One of the most interesting is this picture; what might be our first look at the ice sheet inside the arena, via Instagram user hulkingspider (via LHH).
This picture is helpfully taken of what appears to be the side of the arena that that has garnered attention for the Barclays' 'horseshoe' seating arrangement for hockey. The views of the near net from one end zone of upper deck seating aren't viable and it looks like it will be blocked off by a curtain. I'm guessing the curtain isn't for the Jay-Z concert or anything non-hockey related, but I'm not certain. Here's a side view of the curtain from @kicksavetwenty:
Another interesting shot is this photo of one of the end zones from the New York Post, as it shows a pretty steep angle in the upper deck:
Of course this isn't the best way to judge the arena's hockey setup but it's interesting to get a look nonetheless. The best sample, as always, will be when we're allowed into the arena on October 2nd for the Isles' pre-season game. If that game even takes place.
For further pictures of the arena, check out the New York Post and SB Nation blog Nets Daily.

Music could help child do better
While many parents often restrict their children from listening to music on the plea that it will affect their studies, a British scientist has claimed some type of songs could actually work wonders for the mind and help in better cognition.
Emma Gray, who specialises in cognitive behavioural therapy at The British CBT and Counselling Service in London, has claimed that listening to songs by Miley Cyrus or Justin Timberlake while studying has a calming effect on the mind that aids logical thought, Daily Mail reported.
Gray's research, commissioned by music streaming service Spotify to investigate the effect music has on studying, found it was important to choose the right music for the topic a person was studying as it stimulated learning and could enhance concentration.
Despite not being perhaps the most obvious choice of relaxing tracks, the clinical psychologist believes pop songs with 50 to 80 beats per minute allow the brain to learn and remember new facts more easily.
Gray said emotive pop and rock songs including Katy Perry's 'Firework' could produce a heightened state of excitement that was likely to enhance creative performance in subjects such as english, drama and art.
She believes students, who listen to classical music while studying, do better in maths exams and listening to music while revising makes students smarter.

I am Andrews step mom. First of all I am in no way condoning what my son did to Mr. Posey or in any way making what he did ok, I do feel that people need to know the whole story and that Mr. Posey is not just an innocent victim in this! I sat in the courtroom and listened to Mr. Posey's mom and sister say over and over again how Mr. Posey was in the military. That this has affected his life and he will never feel safe again. I do have sympathy for his mom because finding my son like that would be horrible but before he is lifted into saint hood the other side of the story needs to be told. The night before he was stabbed, my sons brother and his friend went to a friends house while they were walking away my nephew thought someone was following him, he turned around and thought that he saw halloween decorations and then he was creeped out so he started running. Mr. Posey chased him and when my nephew fell Mr. Posey beat him up and then began to run after his friend and beat him up too. He also took things from my nephew that did not belong to him! I was always under the impression that when you are a solider that you are suppose to protect the people of the United States not beat them up and rob them. Then after my son was arrested, I was wondering when Mr. Posey was going to also be arrested because the last time I checked it was against the law to beat up a minor, but I found out that he is not going to be held accountable for his actions and his mom works at the courthouse that is intersting! Mrs. Posey you got the justice that you wanted for your son, my son will be in prison for 70 months and he is paying for what he did but My nephew and his friend deserves justice for what your son did to them and I will get that for them! Your son put all of this in motion, had he not made a choice to hurt someone, he would not have gotten hurt! My son is not a monster and your son by far is not the saint you portray him to be!

Wal-Mart is further behind in attracting online shoppers overseas than it is at home.
Selling to the world becomes possible via the Internet, and some retailers have figured that out sooner than others. Among those who have grasped the opportunity are Amazon.com Inc. and Apple Inc. Figures released today by web tracking firm comScore Inc. show that Amazon gets nearly 65% of its global web site traffic outside of North America, and Apple 68%. By contrast, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. sells online mainly to customers at home, with 83.4% of visits coming from North American consumers.
Relying on U.S. consumers isn't working out too well for Wal-Mart, as same-store U.S. sales have now declined for nine quarters in a row, and recent surveys show most Wal-Mart shoppers no longer believe the world's largest retailer by total sales offers the lowest prices.
Wal-Mart clearly has to step up its game outside of North America, including doing a better job of reaching overseas consumers via the web. These comScore numbers show how far Wal-Mart is lagging. And the big shakeup of Wal-Mart's global e-commerce team, including the departure of former Walmart.com chief Raul Vazquez, suggests that Wal-Mart's board is getting the picture. Other signs include Wal-Mart's purchase of a stake in a major Chinese online retailer earlier this year, quickly followed by announcement of a plan to build a major e-commerce headquarters in Shanghai and to work with China's government to spur web shopping. And Wal-Mart has built a strong base in the U.K., both offline and online, with its Asda supermarket chain that also sells general merchandise. Asda has a significant online operation, generating 650 million euros ($943 million) in web sales last year by Internet Retailer's estimate, and is No. 18 in the Internet Retailer Top 300 Europe.
These moves at least show Wal-Mart's management is aware there's a problem; whether they know how to solve it remains to be seen. They certainly have a long way to go to catch up with Amazon globally—Wal-Mart's web operation is even further behind in the rest of the world than it is in the U.S. That also shows up in today's comScore figures, which show that Wal-Mart's global traffic, in terms of monthly unique visitors, is only 16% that of Amazon's global sites. In North America, Walmart.com gets 30% of Amazon.com's traffic. That's still a sizable gap, but far less than the deficit overseas.
Wal-Mart didn't get to be the world's biggest retailer by being stupid. But its management is going to have to get a lot smarter about the web, especially overseas, if it wants to hold onto that top spot in global retailing as more shopping shifts online.

After years of evading capture and questioning in connection with cabin burglaries across southern Utah, Troy James Knapp, known as the "Mountain Man," was captured in the Ferron Reservoir area Tuesday morning.
The Emery County Sheriff's Office provided a timeline of its involvement in the capture.
Last Friday, citizens hunting for shed antlers on Ferron Mountain encountered an individual who identified himself as the "Mountain Man." Emery County Sheriff's Office personnel started searching the area and followed tracks for a few days, leading them to believe that Knapp was in the Ferron Reservoir area.
On Saturday, a detective from Emery County Sheriff's Office responded to a burglary in the Reeder Subdivision area of Joe's Valley Reservoir. The detective investigated another burglary in the same area on Sunday. Weapons were stolen in the second burglary. Evidence at the scenes suggested the same method of operation as tied to Knapp in the past.
Several meetings between county, state and federal law enforcement agencies were held to discuss an organized search of the area. On Monday, a plan was developed to go into the Ferron Reservoir area. Four personnel from Emery County Sheriff's Office went into the area to see if they could locate Knapp. As daylight came, all agencies responded to the cabins on the south side of Ferron Reservoir.
Shots were fired at officers in a helicopter. Knapp was arrested without incident by multiple law enforcement officers on the ground. Investigation is pending and Knapp will be turned over to the Sanpete County Sheriff's Office.

The REALiS WUX400ST Pro AV Short Throw Compact Installation LCOS Projector brings together in one unit the ability to fill a big screen with brilliant quality images while simultaneously offering flexible installation options.
Throw Ratio
From large conference rooms and auditoriums to houses of worship and museums, users of the WUX400ST can appreciate its short throw of 0.56:1 that is capable of filling up a large 7 foot screen from as close as only 4 feet away. And this capability comes along with beautifully rendered images and video, without sacrificing clarity, brightness or color reproduction.
Mechanical Lens Shift
The WUX400ST is an extremely flexible projector that works well under a diverse range of installation scenarios to meet your organization's specific requirements. Its built-in, mechanical lens shift is capable of a wide range. Vertically, the projector's shift range can be set from 0 to 75%. Horizontally, it can be adjusted from between +/- 10%.
Fixed Top Zoom Function
In the past, it has been sometimes difficult to fully utilize the zoom feature in an installation projector, as you would have to tilt the projector. Doing so could result in a distorted, trapezoidal picture or video that would then require keystone correction — sometimes at the cost of image quality.
The WUX400ST helps make this challenge a thing of the past! With its fixed top zoom function, users can easily zoom in or out while maintaining the height of the projection position. Lowering the position of the projected image or video can be as simple as adjusting the unit's mechanical lens shift function.

We bought these scrapbooks as gifts for the graduating seniors on our softball team. They were moderately priced and look like they do in the picture. I think these will make nice gifts filled with pictures and souvenirs from past softball seasons.

Friday's report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) only surprised those with unrealistic expectations about the health of the economy, showing that job growth of just 88,000 new jobs in March not only was far less than the 200,000 jobs the establishment economists had predicted, but half of the average job growth over the last 12 months. The retail sector, which previously had shown some strength in part-time and temp workers, faltered significantly, dropping by 24,000 jobs last month compared to average monthly gains of 32,000 over the last six months.
Although the unemployment rate dropped slightly, most of that was due to an overall shrinkage in the work force, as nearly 500,000 workers stopped seeking work altogether. That participation rate, according to the New York Times, "has not been this low — 63.3 percent — since 1979 … [with] discouragement about job prospects in a mediocre economy [seeming] to be playing a large role [in that decline]."
The quality of the jobs being created is also in question. As a report from the National Employment Law Project observed, the majority of jobs lost during the Great Recession was in "the middle range of wages," but most of those gained during the recovery "have been low paying." And temp jobs have increased as well, as employers have found it more efficient to hire them and keep them as temps rather than moving them into full-time positions with the benefits, and pitfalls, of providing them with healthcare and retirement plans. Many small companies are electing to stay small and employ temporary workers who work less than 30 hours per week, in order to avoid offering them health insurance as mandated under ObamaCare.
Weakness in jobs growth was predicted by Lakshman Achuthan of the Economic Cycle Research Institute (ECRI), and his call that the U.S. economy entered a recession last summer was buttressed by the latest jobs report.

POTSDAM The fiancee of a man arrested over a remark that was perceived as a potential threat and caused a lockout in Potsdam schools Thursday says his comment was taken out of context.
Toby J. LaBier, 37, of Potsdam was charged with one count of second-degree criminal nuisance after, according to Lawrence Avenue Elementary School Principal Lawrence B. Jennes statement to police, he said, You wonder why people come into school and shoot things up.
Brittany A. Lozano said Friday thats not exactly what her fiancee said.
He said, No wonder people shoot up schools, she said. It was a very broad statement. It wasnt directed toward anybody. He was only talking about things that had already happened.
Mr. LaBiers comment occurred during a meeting in which he and Ms. Lozano became frustrated with the principal as they tried to discuss matters concerning Ms. Lozanos two children, she said.
Regardless of the context, Superintendent Patrick H. Brady said, such comments are not acceptable in todays world.
Regardless of the conversation that takes place between a school official and a parent or someone from the community, these types of threatening remarks have no place in a school environment, he said.
Mr. Brady said that despite Ms. Lozanos assertion that the comments were not directed at anybody, the school had no choice but to respond the way it did.
With the events that have happened from Columbine to Newtown, schools have to be extra vigilant with protecting the safety and security for students and staff, he said.
Ms. Lozano has a son in first grade and a daughter in second grade at Lawrence Avenue Elementary. Her meeting with the principal was intended to discuss her daughters difficulties in math, she said.
We sent in some of her homework not completed about three times, Ms. Lozano said. She came home and told us she cant bring in incompleted homework anymore, because she was being forced to walk for 10 minutes during recess.
While that punishment may not be so harsh for some children, it angered Ms. Lozano and Mr. LaBier.
That wouldnt be so bad, but my daughter is physically handicapped. She has a neurological disorder that affects her from the waist down, she said. She has braces on her legs, and walking is incredibly hard for her. To make her do that is cruel and unusual punishment. We were extremely livid.
Ms. Lozano said that while her fiance, Mr. Labier, isnt the biological father of either child, he has been a father figure to them for quite some time.
He has always been there for them and would do anything for them, she said. He loves them both very much.
Ms. Lozano said the conversation with the principal began in a civil manner, but turned testy as it appeared Mr. Jenne wasnt paying attention to them.
It wasnt hostile at first. I started off by wanting to know if what my daughter said was true, because you know sometimes children exaggerate, she said. We tried to explain to him that children learn at different levels, but while we were talking Mr. Jenne was barely looking at us. I guess he was typing up minutes or something.
Mr. Jenne said that was exactly what he was doing, noting that he uses his iPad to type notes from any conversation that he has.
As for the specifics of the conversation or the punishment of Ms. Lozanos daughter, Mr. Jenne said he cant comment.
I cant comment on that, because its about a specific child and would be an invasion of their privacy, he said. I will not discuss any of the things we talked about during that meeting due to privacy concerns for the students.
While the meeting initially began as a discussion about the Common Core, Ms. Lozano said it quickly evolved to include other things.
It wasnt just about peanuts, she said, noting a student in her daughters class with a peanut allergy was among the topics discussed.
I dont understand why she can eat them for lunch, but she cant bring them in for a snack, Ms. Lozano said, adding the tipping point for Mr. Labier came when they attempted to talk about an issue theyve been having with her son.
We tried talking to him about a bus monitor harassing our son, who is even more physically handicapped than she is. He is wheelchair-bound, but Mr. Jenne wouldnt even listen to us. He said, Thats not my area, and told us to talk to the bus garage.
That was the breaking point, Ms. Lozano said, adding that is when Mr. LaBier made the comment perceived as a threat by Mr. Jenne and stormed out of the meeting.
Ms. Lozano said the conversation with Mr. Jenne continued for approximately five or 10 more minutes.
He said he would look into the punishment and get back to me, but Im not holding my breath, she said, adding both she and Mr. Labier are worried about the impact this incident could end up having on her children at school.
I dont want this to affect my children. Im considering removing my children from the school, she said, adding her daughter was kept home on Friday.
When asked where she would send them, she replied, I would send them wherever I could. This is only our second year in this district, and it has been nothing but problems. Im not talking to that school anymore.

CrockPot Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe
mmmm. Cheesecake.
I made a traditional cheesecake on Fourth of July, and ever since have been wanting to make a pumpkin one. I have had my eye on this recipe from Good Housekeeping, and put it to the test yesterday.
I'm eating some right now with my morning coffee. It's delicious.
The Ingredients. A jar of nutmeg made it into the picture. That's a mistake. You don't need any.
--1 cup gingersnap or graham cracker crumbs (I used the GF gingersnaps from Trader Joes)
--3 T butter, melted
--2 T white sugar
--2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, room temperature
--1 1/4 cup white sugar
--1 can pure pumpkin (15 oz)
--3/4 cup sour cream
--2 tsp vanilla
--1tsp cinnamon
--1/2 tsp allspice
--1/4 tsp salt
--4 eggs
Sour Cream Topping (optional):
--1 cup sour cream
--3 T white sugar
--1 tsp vanilla
The Directions.
If you are planning on serving pumpkin cheesecake for an event, I'd recommend making it the day before, so it has plenty of time to chill in the refrigerator.
I used a 6.5 oval quart crockpot, and inserted a 1.5 oval casserole dish into it. You are using the crockpot as a bain marie, or water bath.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs and white sugar. Press the mixture into your casserole dish. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, pure pumpkin, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Add the spices and eggs, also. Mix well with a hand or stand mixer until the cream cheese is fluid and there aren't very many cream cheese spots/lumps. A few is okay.
I've never been one to add some ingredients first, and an egg at a time while mixing. If you are somebody who likes to do that, the Good Housekeeping people will tell you what to do.
Pour the filling on top of the crust.
Put 1/2 to 1 cup of water into the bottom of your crockpot. The inserted dish should push the water up to halfway up the sides of the cheesecake.
Place the cheescake into your crockpot and cook on high for 2 to 4 hours. It took 4 for mine to cook completely. You will know it's done cooking when the top is no longer jiggly and the sides have begun to brown ever so slightly.
Unplug your crockpot, and take off the lid. In a small mixing bowl, whip together the sour cream topping. With a rubber spatula, very carefully spread the sour cream topping on top of the hot cheesecake. Let the cheese cake sit in the cooling crockpot for an hour, before chilling in the refrigerator. I put the lid on the crockpot sideways, but you can also leave it off.
Chill for at least 6 hours. Serve.
The Verdict.
This is thick, moist cheesecake. The filling did not get as hard and as set-up as the first cheesecake I did. The first one called for 2 T of flour, and only 2 eggs.
I was worried that this pumpkin batter wouldn't set, because the first cheesecake I did only took 2 hours on high, and this took a solid 4 hours on high. In fact, I made a mistake, and brought it to some friends after baking for 2 (and only chilling for 2) for dessert last night. It wasn't cooked. It was cheesecake soup.
When we got home, I plopped it back into the water bath (I hadn't cleaned the kitchen up, and the crockpot was still slightly warm) for the additional 2 hours and set an alarm to check on it. This cheesecake was finished at 1 am.
And then I was wide awake for some reason and couldn't sleep and had a rather long conversation with Adam that he doesn't remember. weird.
All in all, this is a good recipe, but when I make it again, I will go off of my original recipe, and add the pumpkin and spices to that. Since I haven't actually tried it, I'm not sure if it will work, but my gut is leaning towards that "sturdier" cheesecake, instead of trying to fool with this one some more.

I absolutly love pumpkin cheesecake. I make mine with the cheesecake on the bottom and the pumpkin part on top with a pecan crust. It looks layered. SOOOO YUMMY!! Its a big winner on Thanksgiving and Christmas. But I might just have to try this one though.

Each day you never cease to amaze me with what you've made in your crock. I wonder, when the year is over .. will you be relieved to not *have* to use your crockpot - or have you become addicted to crock pot cooking? :-)

I've been wondering about pumpkin cheesecake since I made your original cheesecake and waiting for you to post a recipe. I have tried the first one with gingersnaps and pumpkin in the filling seems like the next logical sequence.
The first time I had pumpkin cheesecake was on Nov. 2, 1984. I had given birth to my beautiful baby girl (now grown, married and a committed crockpot user herself), and that night in the hospital it is what they had for dessert. Maybe it was the drugs or the baby high, but the hospital issue pumpkin cheesecake tasted divine and has been a favorite of mine ever since.
When I eat it I get a wonderful, warm, fuzzy feeling like one has after having anamazing experience (in my case, my daughter being born).
Hurray for more cheesecake!

Do you have any suggestions as to how much pumpkin and stuff you would add? I would very much like to try this for thanksgiving but need a little guidance as I often have trouble in the kitchen:)
- November 16, 2008 at 1:35 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Becky and Kat,
I haven't tried this, and would recommend trying beforehand... :-0
I think I'd use the first recipe with the flour, cream, and 2 eggs, then add the 15 oz of pumpkin with the spices.
my fingers are crossed...
- November 16, 2008 at 1:57 PM
You may need to use some baking powder, we had to do so when ever using pumpkin to bake with at the bakery I worked for. If not it wouldn't bake up, because the pumpkins heavy.

- Shyla said...
Thanks for the quick answer! I plan on trying this cheesecake, too.
One quick question, on making the crust myself (sounds easy), but would it not burn if cooked for as long as a pumpkin pie calls for?

Steph - I am making this for Turkey Day but omiting the sour cream to the cake in hopes of firming it up more, but keeping it on top because sour cream is DELISH -- I'll let you know how it goes!

Sounds great. How do you think the crockpot stacks up as a baking device as opposed to an oven?
- November 17, 2008 at 3:55 PM
Looks yummy and creamy!
A trick for cutting cheesecake that my mom taught me is to use dental floss instead of a knife. Hold it taught over the cake, push down all the way through the crust, and then pull it out the bottom with one hand. It makes the sides look nice and neat :)

I am trying pumpkin cheesecake this morning.
Here is what I did:
I made your original recipe, using gingersnaps for the crust. I have another recipe that is for a layered pumpkin cheesecake and the ingredients are almost identical to your original recipe (hah! sounds like I am talking about KFC!).
For the pumpkin layer you separate out 1 cup of the plain cheesecake batter and combine it with 1/2 cup canned pumpkin + some spices. I put in 1/2 tsp ginger and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. It called for ground clove too, but I don't like clove, so I added the ginger instead.
I put the plain batter in the pan first, then the pumpkin enhanced batter on top of that.
It has been almost 2 hours and then I will check it. The other ones I have made took 2 hours.
I have only one crock pot. A 4 qt Hamilton Beach that I got before I was married (and I was married in 1979). I have a 7 inch springform pan that inserts perfectly into it and accomodates this recipe nicely.

Forgot to add--- if this turns out successfully, I'm going to bring it to my daughter's tomorrow. She is having a bridal shower and I figure we can just put it out on the table with the rest of the spread.
If it is good, then I will make one next week for t-giving too.

Here is what I did:
I took you original recipe and used 10 oz of cream cheese and 10 oz of pumpkin pie mix. My main concern was that my cheesecake was relatively thick and the pumpkin mix I used was an organic brand from our natural store and it seemed more watery than the Libby's my mom used to use as a kid.
Never the less my cheesecake timed like this:
3-4 hours on high and it was set. I let it cook for an hour uncovered and then put in the fridge for 3-4 hours and it was pretty thick but lacked an overwhelming pumpkin taste-it was more cheesy. It needed something-maybe it was the mix I used. My husband said needed more nutmeg. Overall it was pretty good.

I'm sure you are sick of pumpkin by now, but next time you need a pumpkin fix you have to try this. Make your regular crockpot cheese cake but use gingersnaps instead of graham crackers and mix half of your cheesecake batter with 1/2 C. of pumpkin. Marble or layer the two batters, and Voila! Super yummy.

Hello! I have recently become a HUGE fan of your website and your recipes are super yummy and easy.
I made this pumpkin cheesecake today, and was very happy with the results. I cooked mine for about 5 hours on high and then set it in the fridge (after sitting for an hour in the unplugged crock). It came out just like any other cheesecake made in the oven. It was a little bit more difficult than the other recipes I've tried, but definitely worth it. I didn't change any ingredients, just cooked it a little longer.

Bay, Baxter heading to PSL, Francisco progressing
Terry Collins said Jason Bay will be heading to Port St. Lucie tomorrow although it isn't clear when he will resume baseball activities, according to WFUV's Amit Badlani.
Bay was placed on the seven-day disabled list last Saturday after sustaining a concussion while diving head first into the left field wall on June 15.
Meanwhile, according to Badlani, Collins said Mike Baxter will head to Port St. Lucie to begin rehabbing from a displaced collar bone – he has been on the disabled list since June 1.
Lastly, Frank Francisco will throw off a mound in Port St. Lucie on Saturday, and if all goes well, he will begin a rehabilitation assignment.
Francisco was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a left oblique strain, retroactive to June 23.

The 2013-14 budget passed by the state Assembly includes $362 million in school aid for Northern New York.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, said there are small victories for north country schools in the coming fiscal years budget but that there is still a long way to go to reach financial equity in education funding.
There are always things that need to be worked on, but there were several significant victories, she said.
One of the provisions of her School Funding Equity bill taking out the floor on the income wealth index was added to the final budget.
The provision ensures more money is given to poor, rural districts that appear wealthier than they are because of summer vacationers.
Additionally, she said, schools with fewer than 1,500 students are now able to opt out of extra audits, which helps smaller districts save money.
Thats a big victory for our school districts, Mrs. Russell said.
According to a statement released by her office, the final budget helps restore nearly $518 million to help make up for the gap elimination adjustment cuts in state aid made to offset the state budget deficit. The budget also boosts foundation aid more than $171 million more than the governors proposal in January.
Having said that, our school districts are receiving less in real dollars than they did before the recession, she said.
Her concern echoes that of superintendents throughout the region worried about slashing teacher positions and school programs to close budget gaps.
She has spoken to the state Education Department about providing more information on how to merge schools or create regional districts.
Our schools and communities need to know what their options are, she said.

POTSDAM - Nearly 300 students from Lawrence Avenue Elementary now have child safety identification cards thanks to a donation from the Potsdam Elks Lodge.
The cards, which include a photograph of the child as well as their gender, height, weight, hair color, eye color, finger prints and date of birth, were produced in conjunction with Operation Safe Child.
If all goes well by the end of the day, well have created 280 child id cards for the Operation Safe Child Program, said Potsdam Village Police Officer Kyle Fink, who was working with St. Lawrence County Sheriffs Department Deputy Suzanne Williams to photograph the children and get the finger prints off each of their index fingers.
Ms. Williams said parents in the district owe a thank you to the Elks Lodge for making the program possible.
The ribbons are actually very expensive, she said, referring to the ink cartridges need to print the plastic id cards.
Mr. Fink said the donation from the Elks Lodge was enough to purchase 3 ribbons, noting each ribbon can print roughly 200 cards.
While nothing has been formally scheduled, Mr. Fink said its his hope to spend a couple days at the middle school later this year to create id cards for students there too.
Mr. Fink said since the program was implemented in 2005 605 children have been safely returned to their parents as the result of Amber Alerts, a child safety program connected to Operation Safe Child.
According to Mr. Fink, the program was created because police agencies found that in a time of crisis parents were having a difficult time locating recent pictures or remembering basic information needed to help find their child.
In an informational letter sent home to parents that also included a permission slip (cards were not made for children without their parents permission), Mr. Fink wrote, In the event of a child abduction, and the activation of the Amber Alert system, the childs photograph, fingerprints, and biographical information would be immediately disseminated to very law enforcement agency, thruway authority, toll plaza, airline, train and bus terminal in the immediate area.
When asked what children and parents should do with the cards, Mr. Fink said he would recommend the parents holding onto them and keeping them in a safe place.
If the child is carrying it around because they want to carry their own id card that kind of defeats the purpose, he said.
While Mr. Fink said this was the first time, the program has been brought into the school, he said hopefully it wont be the last.
Ideally we can come back every couple of years to update the cards, he said.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Yes, you can increase your earning power. Definitely live a happier, healthier, less stressful life. How? Change careers.
In "The Millionaire Mind," Thomas Stanley says "Millionaires who have a high creative intelligence often make one very important career decision correctly: They select a vocation that provides them with enormous profits, and very often this same vocation is the one they love. Remember, if you love what you are doing, your productivity will be high and your specific form of creative genius will emerge."
Stanley's message cuts both ways: "As most millionaires report, stress is a direct result of devoting a lot of effort to a task that's not in line with one's abilities. It's more difficult, more demanding mentally and physically, to work at a vocation that's unsuitable to your aptitude."
Here's your first step, a brief test from my "Millionaire Code," modified from Carl Jung's personality types and the Myers-Briggs 16 personality types.
Take this simple four-part test and find your four-letter "Millionaire Code." Then you can follow the links to all sixteen the Myers Briggs and discover some details on new career options that fit you.
The test may look like one you took years ago. But things change, so keep an open mind, open to big changes. You wouldn't be the first financial type who left a bank to become an artist, jewelry designer or journalist, but you may be the happiest one.
The test is very simple, without psychological mumbo-jumbo. With each of the following four pairs, use your gut, pick the one letter that best fits you, not the way other people expect you to be at work, social gatherings, or even your family. You'll sense the real you:
1. Extrovert or Introvert? (E or I)
Given a choice, what world do you prefer living in: We all want some of both, but Extroverts prefer interacting, socializing, talking and listening to people. Introverts prefer their own inner world — time alone, reading, thinking quietly, living in their head, working things out before dealing with the real world.
2. Sensor or iNtuitive? (S or N)
How do you use information? We all use the five senses to get concrete data, from seeing, hearing, touch, taste, smell. However, the Sensor then compares new data to past information. Intuitives are future-oriented, they look beyond raw data for meaning, possibilities and abstractions. Sensors rely more on the data. An Intuitive relies more on hunches, concepts and inspirations.
3. Thinker or Feeler? (T or F)
How do you make decisions? Thinkers want to do what's right, fair and just. They tend to be impersonal and impartial, using logic, rationality, reason. Feeling types are more subjective and personal, their decisions depend on individual values and empathy, on making themselves and others feel good at work, at home, in the world.
4. Judger or Perceiver? (J or P)
What daily lifestyle do you prefer? A Judger likes an orderly, organized life with schedules, plans, things-to-do, lists, tasks to accomplish, specific goals. Perceiving types value spontaneity and flexible goals, adapting easily to new situations They prefer keeping their options open in a changing environment, often till the last minute.

I feel that the death of Osama bin Laden gives the United States a chance to negotiate peace in Afghanistan.
In the next few weeks Congress has an opportunity to conduct a serious re-examination of the U.S. war in Afghanistan. The United States needs to abandon the current war strategy and adopt a new strategy
focused on:
*Beginning significant withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
*Halting offensive operations against the Taliban.
*Engage Afghan parties and Afghanistan's neighbors in negotiating peace, and
*Channeling U.S. development aid for reconstruction through Afghan, multilateral, and other civilian humanitarian organizations.
Congress should return to the recommendations of the 9/11 commission and the Iraq study group. These and other bi-partisan experts agree that greater diplomacy, development, and international co-operation are the tools most likely to address the threat of extremist terrorism.
Also, Congress please co-sponsor Senator Barbara Boxer's bill, S 186, which mentions all of the things mentioned above.
People here in our area, you need to contact your congress-person and tell them that this war will get us nothing more than more wounded and dead service personnel.

"This shoe is so pretty, the glitter shines beautifully. The only issue I had is that it runs a little big on me, so I will need to try a smaller size. Usually the Heaven style fits me just right, or a little small, but not this one."

Completely regret purchase!
"These are the most uncomfortable flats that I have ever worn. I have previously purchased the heaven flats in patent black and loved them. As adorable as these are, the glitter flats really missed the mark on comfort. It was so painful after 1-2 hours of walking, my feet were swelling which is completely unusual for me. There was also glitter all over the bottom of my dress pants and the glitter actually gets in your shoes and feels like sand scratching your feet. These shoes are awful and I am completely dissatisfied with my purchase."

too big
"the I tried and have some Steve madden shoes before. Mostly I wear 6-6.5 but these are too big. The texture while I touch it's too rough feel like those glitter will come off very soonAny way I might need to return them as they are too big for me."

CANTON St. Lawrence County legislators who favored keeping parts of the NY SAFE Act were slammed at a meeting Monday by members of a crowd of more than 40 gun enthusiasts.
Many in the audience voiced unhappiness with a committee decision last week to recommend a watered-down resolution that did not call for outright repeal.
If you let us down, we can certainly vote you out of office, said Al Scheuplein, Parishville.
Speakers told legislators they were surprised to hear some of them did not want to demand repeal for fear of offending Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo who might then not go along with a sales tax increase for the county or Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, who recently procured $100,000 for a fire training facility.
It sounds like the St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators is bought by $100,000 from another legislator, said Albert Simser, DeKalb Junction. I just think you should be ashamed of yourselves.
An amendment by Legislator Daniel F. Parker, R-Potsdam, to add repeal to the resolution was defeated 8-4, as was an amendment offered by Legislator Kevin D. Acres, R-Madrid, to add a thank-you to state representatives who voted against the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act. In committee, Mr. Acres also wanted to chastise Mrs. Russell for voting in favor of the act.
Im trying to compromise, Mr. Acres said.
Joining Mr. Parker and Mr. Acres in favor of the amendments were Legislators Joseph R. Lightfoot, R-Ogdensburg, and Mark H. Akins, R-Lisbon.
The majority by far that have weighed in, this is what they want, Mr. Lightfoot said.
Legislators Alex A. MacKinnon, R-Fowler; Scott M. Sutherland, R-Pierrepont, and Stephen M. Putman, D-Canton, were absent.
The resolution opposing a number of provisions in the SAFE Act and the manner in which it was enacted passed 12-0.

Flu shots it doesnt matter where you get them; just get the vaccine to become protected from influenza.
That is the message from county public health professionals, who hope to spread awareness among Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties residents of the need for immunization so a major flu outbreak doesnt occur as it did a year ago.
Its very unpredictable; we dont know what well see from year to year, said Marcia M. Ashline, Lewis County supervising public health nurse.
How slowly or quickly the virus may spread depends on the flu strains that circulate, the number of Northern New York residents who get vaccinated and the use of common prevention methods, such as covering the mouth when sneezing and frequent hand washing. So far in this influenza season, which began recently in the north country, there have been no confirmed laboratory cases in Jefferson, Lewis or St. Lawrence counties.
That is a different picture from last year around this time, when the peak of flu season occurred. There were well over 1,000 cases last season, most of which occurred in the fall. The typical flu season peak in the north country doesnt occur until February.
Residents, health officials said, should be vaccinated now to protect themselves sooner, as it takes about two weeks for a person to obtain immunity.
We hope no one gets the flu; thatd be a wonderful year, said Faith E. Lustik, Jefferson County health planner. The community has a lot of available flu vaccine.
Not only are flu vaccines available at drugstores and pharmacies within grocery chains, but they are available through physician offices and at the three local public health agencies.
There were 650 adult doses, 210 childrens doses and 20 flu mist vaccines ordered for Jefferson County Public Health Service. Agency staff and county government officials were vaccinated first, Ms. Lustik said, but plenty of doses are available for the public to purchase at an immunization clinic. The cost for an adult dose is $36.
Mrs. Ashline said Lewis County Public Health has ordered 700 adult doses, 50 childrens doses and 10 flu mist vaccines. An adult dose is $35.
Although there have been no confirmed cases in St. Lawrence County, interim Public Health Director Lorraine B. Kourofsky said there have been many respiratory cough cases. So far, she said, none has been related to influenza.
St. Lawrence County Public Health ordered 900 adult doses, which are available to the public for $30, 200 childrens doses and 70 flu mist vaccines.
All childrens doses are offered for free, through the federal Vaccines for Children program. I just got my flu vaccine yesterday, Ms. Kourofsky said Wednesday. They do a good job.
She encouraged people to stay home from work if they are sick, so the disease does not spread.
For more information, including a list of immunization clinics, call 386-2325 for St. Lawrence County Public Health, 786-3770 for Jefferson County Public Health, or 376-5453 for Lewis County Public Health.

Trent Johnson shelves books at the CEU Library.
For ever since anyone can remember, the College of Eastern Utah Library has been open to the public like any public library is. People could get a library card at no cost and check out materials, use the the micro fiche machine, use computers, etc.
As of July 1, 2010 some of that will change.
"Basically forever this library has been an academic library," said Aimee Lauritsen, director of public services at the library during an interview on Wednesday morning. "We have been free to the public. Students had to pay fees during the school year and some of that went to supporting the library's services. However with recent budget woes and other changes, the public will now have to pay $25 a year to get a library card from us to check out materials."
While this is a change for the local college, all the other public colleges and universities, with the exception of one, in the state of Utah have been charging for public use for many years. Snow College still retains a policy of having local residents provide an ID and local address and they can check things out free. Other school charges range from $50 a year at the University of Utah to $15 a year at Weber State University.
However Lauritsen made a point that even if residents don't pay a fee, they can still use the library.
"Computer use, library research within the library and photocopy services will still be available," she said. "The fee applies for getting a card for checkout purposes only."
Carbon County does have some public library services available in Price, Helper and in Wellington at the Bookmobile Services Center. However the Price Library does charge $15 a year for a card if the applicant is a resident of another incorporated entity within the county. For non-incorporated area residents they only need to provide address and identification.
