text: THE fat black pigs with the broad white stripe running down their bellies in Kenneth Neff's front paddock might not know it but they have been put on a global Slow Food list recognising them as the last of their kind. Wessex saddlebacks, a breed originating in the New Forest of Hampshire in England, are natural outdoor foragers. With the rise of industrial factory piggeries the breed was neglected and became extinct in England last century. By chance, in 1931, before the demise of the breed, a man called Mr R. Turpin imported a small breeding herd to his farm in Queensland. That herd became the nucleus of what was to be one of the last bastions of Wessex saddlebacks on the planet - just 150 registered breeding sows spread across a few score of properties in Australia. Their listing on the international Slow Food Ark of Taste is the work of years of lobbying by local breeders and food activists. ''It's wonderful that Slow Food Italy has included the Australian Wessex saddleback herd on the Ark of Taste,'' says Neff, as he leads us to his outdoor charcuterie room, ''because it draws attention to the plight of rare and endangered breeds as an issue and their importance to genetic diversity - and, importantly, gastronomy.'' Having been bred as an outdoor grazing animal, young Wessex saddlebacks have a particularly strong rooting instinct - they love to get their snouts in the ground and search for protein such as roots, bugs and worms. Neff breeds his pigs on his farm at Tyabb on the Mornington Peninsula and sells his young pigs to a horse stud near Mount Eliza. After the horses have grazed the pastures for some time, the young pigs are let loose and turn over the soil, aerating it and fertilising as they go. After this the pasture is resown. While there, the pigs are fed a diet that includes milk whey, cooked potatoes and a mix of grains. ''What you notice about Wessex saddlebacks is that they really carry the flavour of what they have eaten in their fat,'' Neff says. ''Which is why one has to be so particular about their feed.'' Some Wessex saddleback breeders in the past have found themselves criticised for finishing their animals on feeds containing rancid oils that have then tainted the flavour of the meat. ''We produce pork with very sweet fat,'' Neff says. To demonstrate his point, he opens the door to his charcuterie room, a large space in an outbuilding with a half-dozen prosciutti hanging from the rafters. This is a man serious about his smallgoods. Neff's parents were Swiss and he learnt the craft of smallgoods and charcuterie from the Swiss butchers he grew up near when his family moved to the outer suburbs of Melbourne. He made smallgoods every year with family and friends. Back then he bought his pig from ''a bloke in Rosebud''. A few years back, when the latter became too old to grow pigs, Neff purchased his first Wessex saddleback and he has been slowly growing his herd since. He takes out a professional meat slicer and cuts fine slices of pancetta, capocollo, prosciutto, lardo, smoked ham and bacon. Fine-flavoured and succulent, his charcuterie has sweet, subtle and delicate fat, with flesh that has the developed deliciousness that comes from fine charcuterie-making. They are perhaps the best we have tasted in this country. ''You see, with Wessex saddleback you have a breed that is perfectly suited to these techniques,'' he says, pointing out a wonderfully thick layer of fat on a slice of pancetta. Many of the techniques Neff uses were honed on a serendipitous trip to Italy three years ago. A visiting friend who lives in Tuscany took home some salami and passed it on to a local butcher. The result was an invitation to spend time with Danilo and Luciana Parti, from Macelleria Parti in San Donato, Poggio. Neff has now commercialised his skills and makes charcuterie with a local registered butcher, selling a broad range to South Yarra restaurant France-Soir. Its French chef, Geraud Fabre, says: ''Kenneth is a very talented man. His charcuterie is exceptional.'' He adds, with a laugh: ''But he was trained in Italy!'' Standing outside his home with Carl, a massive 300-kilogram boar, Neff reflects on the oft-posed question: why kill these animals if they are rare? ''Well, if there is no commercial demand for Wessex saddlebacks here in Australia,'' he says while brushing the grass off Carl's hairy back, ''then they will go the way of the [extinct] herds in England.''

CROGHAN A new grass-roots organization in the north country is taking aim at the states controversial gun control law.
A lot of people were upset with how it was passed and whats in it, Patrick J. Morse, New Bremen, said of the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act.
Rather than accepting their lot, Mr. Morse and several other area residents are forming the North Country Friends of the 2nd Amendment, with an organizational meeting set for 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Croghan fire hall on Fire Hall Street.
Mr. Morse said that he and Croghan resident Charmaine A. Campany helped organize a late-February trip to Albany to rally against the NY SAFE Act, which nearly every county outside the New York City region has opposed.
Three busloads of north country residents, many of them from Lewis County, attended the rally, he said.
We got their attention, Mr. Morse said.
However, several local rally attendees felt more should be done to oppose the law, and it eventually was decided that a new organization should be formed for that purpose, he said.
Everyone agreed it would be the right thing to do, Mr. Morse said.
The stated purpose of the group is to form an alliance of like-minded individuals who cherish their individual and collective rights guaranteed under the United States Constitution, most specifically those rights granted under the Second Amendment. Goals are to both fight the NY SAFE Act and maintain a steady vigilance on any similar laws that may be forthcoming.
While organizers hail from Lewis County, Mr. Morse said he is expecting that residents of surrounding counties including Jefferson, St. Lawrence and Oneida will attend Tuesdays meeting and become active members.
He said that while some provisions of the law are good, it was poorly written, and many people were not happy with its rapid passage with no public hearings.
When we wake up, guns in our cabinets are illegal with no public input, Mr. Morse said.
A restriction limiting gun magazines to seven rounds also could mean people will get arrested for counting wrong, he said.
The organizational meeting will include an informational portion in which provisions of the NY SAFE Act are explained, Mr. Morse said.
Some people have no clue at all as to what is banned and what is not, he said.
Group members hope to fight the NY SAFE Act by lobbying elected officials, educating the public, encouraging like-minded people to vote in coming elections and coordinating efforts with other organizations that oppose the law, Mr. Morse said.
They also hope to organize an anti-NY SAFE Act rally in Lewis County and support one slated for April 13 in Gouverneur, he said.
The plan is to form several subcommittees to oversee various aspects of that push.
Anyone seeking more information on the group or the organizational meeting can call Mr. Morse at 317-4380.
Assemblyman Kenneth D. Blankenbush, R-Black River, said that legislation will be introduced soon to rescind the NY SAFE Act, but there is little chance that enough state lawmakers particularly those from large cities will switch sides to pass it, let alone override an expected veto by the governor.
The only way that youre going to repeal the SAFE Act is through the courts, Mr. Blankenbush said.
Several lawsuits challenging the act have been filed, including one by the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- There will be many amazing stories among the thousands of runners competing in Sunday's Marine Corps Marathon. They include the story of Brian Boyle.
Brian nearly lost his life in 2004 in a crash near his home in Welcome, Maryland. Brian lost 60 percent of his blood, and during many operations he received 36 blood transfusions and 13 plasma treatments. He was in a medically-induced coma for two months followed by months of intensive rehab.
Brian now competes in triathlons and other races. Brian was invited back to compete in the Marine Corps Marathon and Brian is running for Team Red Cross to thank blood donors.
Brian represents the many blood recipients whose lives have been saved, in part, due to Red Cross blood donors. In Nov. 2008, Men's Health magazine named Brian one of its 20 Heroes of Health and Fitness.
Brian told us more about his story on Friday morning, which you can see in the video above.

Kristin Cavallari has her own way of doing things. Dating Justin and flirting with Brody earned her a reputation of boyfriend-stealer. And Kristin has a hard time letting anyone get close to her, so she surprised herself as much as everyone else when she decided to take things with Justin to the next level. Their intentions were true, but it was a summer romance - and ultimately it faded.
Kristin wants to mend fences with the girls, but a tabloid rumor about her partying quickly gets in the way. Kristin and Brody turn their friendship into friends-with-benefits, but that falls apart when he starts seeing a new girl.
Los Angeles can be a tough town, and Kristin's biggest challenge is to turn things around and find good friends, a good man, and some stability in her life.

It takes a great set of lighting and effects to put on a show your audience will never forget, and getting all of those components into place is the job of the DJ world's unsung heroes: hardware and accessories. These are the kinds of things that every pro needs to get the most out of visual FX, and with American DJ accessories, you'll also have the confidence that comes with choosing one of the most well-known manufacturers in the business. American DJ is the go-to name for all things lighting, after all, and with a good kit made up of the accessories in this section, you'll be more than ready to make your next show a success.
Some of the most critical parts of your framework are trusses. Plenty of those are available here, like the American DJ Crank II Mobile Trussing System for Stage Lights and the LT S50T Port Lighting Truss System. These make it quick and easy to put up a wide range of lights. If you're looking for something more customizable, make sure to take a look at the American DJ LB05T as well: with a few of these truss sections and some clamps like the American DJ Proswivel Clamp or Pro-Clamp Truss Clamp, you can create a rig that's 100% your own.
Of course, your lights are also going to need connecting, so be sure to check out what American DJ has to offer for cables and electronic accessories. The ECCOM-3, ECCOM-6 and ECCOM-10 are perfect when you need a little extension, and a distributor like the American DJ WiFLY D6 Branch makes a solid hub to manage a whole set of lights from one power supply. The assortment of DMX connectors in this section are the icing on the cake, giving you the links you need for your lights to 'talk' to their controllers.
The more amazing your lights and effects, the more they deserve high-quality hardware backing them up. American DJ accessories have you covered when it comes to that. They're reliable enough to handle your most demanding shows, and versatile enough to help you make your dream lighting rig a reality. Simply put, American DJ is always a good choice.

Homeowners typically spend lots of time caring for their property. Be it a modest ranch house or a mansion on top of a hill, a home's outside appearance is often a point of pride for homeowners.
One commonly overlooked element of an aesthetically appealing home is the role trees can play. Trees can add an element of beauty to a yard while also playing a practical role, such as shading the grass from intense summer sun and acting as great support for hanging a hammock.
While trees can add appeal to a homeowner's property, they can also be an eyesore if not properly pruned. Homeowners hoping to get the most out of their trees should consider some pruning guidelines.
*Fruit trees. If the buds on a fruit tree have already started swelling, you've waited too long too prune. In general, fruit trees are best pruned in late winter or early spring. When pruning, be sure to remove all branches growing inward as well as limbs growing straight up.
*Berry bushes. Berry bushes are typically pruned in late fall or early winter, once you have finished harvesting the berries. When pruning berry bushes, keep in mind the importance of shape with respect to a berry bush's aesthetic appeal.
*Rosebushes. Rosebushes are generally best pruned in late winter, with early spring the latest possible cutoff date. Remove any older shoots and leave between four and eight canes while removing any that are growing inward. When cutting them down, try to cut them to right around two feet above ground, and cut close to an inch above a bud or a strong shoot.
*Evergreen shrubs. Evergreen shrubs won't flower, but they can be pruned after they have produced cones or shrubs. That typically occurs between late winter and early spring, so this can be done as the weather begins to warm up as part of your early season spring cleanup.
*Evergreen trees. In general, evergreen trees do not need to be pruned. It's generally obvious when an evergreen does need to be pruned, as the tree will be noticeably larger and in obvious need of pruning. Evergreens that do need to be pruned typically need it in late spring or early summer, and they will likely not grow much after a good pruning.
*Deciduous trees. Deciduous trees are generally only pruned for shaping. For those looking to shape, mid to late winter is the ideal time to do so.
*Deciduous shrubs. Mid to late spring is often the best time to prune deciduous shrubs. That's generally after they have flowered, and it will be obvious when they are in need or pruning, as they will likely have lots of unsightly branches evident to the naked eye.

Students are transformed by AU's global initiatives. Study abroad for a semester. Pursue a May Travel/study course. Attend an on-campus event with an international focus. You'll start to discover what it means to be a citizen of the world. Today your education requires a global perspective.
Aurora University offers several avenues for learning about our complex, interdependent world.
International exchange program and study abroad
Have the experience of a lifetime and immerse yourself in a culture other your own. Experience another country for a semester through an AU international exchange program in Barcelona, Spain. As you explore faraway places, you'll learn more about yourself in the process.
In addition to sending students out into the world, Aurora University also hosts international students from partner universities as part of its exchange program. The experience not only gives students from other countries the opportunity to study in the United States in a major metropolitan area; it also exposes AU students to different cultures on campus, creating a global community right here in Aurora.
Summer Study Abroad
Aurora University is sponsoring two new, exciting study abroad programs starting in summer 2014: San Jose, Costa Rica and Quebec City, Canada.
Travel in May
Travel in May offers courses specifically developed for a three-week format, including classes that involve travel/study trips to destinations in the United States and abroad. Previous courses have included travel to Costa Rica, Honduras, London, Paris and Rome. In addition to offering students the opportunity to learn about a culture first hand, many of the trips also include a service component.
Campus events
Global education continues on campus all year long with guest lectures presented by the Celebrating Arts and Ideas series, Wackerlin Center for Faith and Action, Servant Leadership Initiative and student organizations. These events bring experts from around the world to AU to discuss current events and provide perspective on how our lives are shaped by the world around us.
The Wackerlin Center and Servant Leadership Initiative also offer international trips with a focus on community service.
International studies minor
In the modern economy, understanding global relations is mandatory. AU recognizes this need and offers a minor in international studies to help students enhance their appreciation of globalization. This minor complements any major and provides students with a solid foundation in international studies.

Young people nationwide will get a fun-filled and entertaining lesson in science, technology, engineering and mathematics when they head to the theaters and online this summer, thanks to the Northrop Grumman Foundation's STEM Flixâ"¢ video series featuring popular television show guest and school teacher "Science Bob" Pflugfelder.
Airing in select theaters across the country between June 8 and Sept. 7, and with its own dedicated website (http://www.northropgrumman.com/stemflix), STEM Flixâ"¢ is a four-part video series designed to show young people how fun STEM can be, while also teaching them how the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics are responsible for so many of the electronics, games, products and experiences people enjoy every day.
"The Northrop Grumman Foundation presents STEM Flixâ"¢ because we want young people to love STEM as much as we do," said Sandra Evers-Manly, president, Northrop Grumman Foundation. "Many young people today don't realize how many of the things they take for granted every day are made possible because of the work of a scientist, engineer or mathematician. STEM Flixâ"¢ is our way of helping students, their parents and teachers get excited about STEM so that our future is never short of great ideas developed by tomorrow's engineers and scientists."
"Children are natural scientists. They are constantly exploring and asking questions about the world around them," said "Science Bob" Pflugfelder. "STEM Flixâ"¢ is a great way to show them that science, technology, engineering and mathematics are amazing, and, more importantly, that they can be a part of it and change the world."
The STEM Flixâ"¢ series kicked off June 8 with an introduction to STEM and a first look at how fun science can be through a simple, yet colorful experiment known as the "Elephant's Toothpaste." The experiment creates an exothermic reaction when a few common household ingredients such as dish soap, yeast and water combine with oxygen. Each of the remaining video episodes will focus on a specific area of science and technology with outrageous demonstrations, graphics and experiments according to the following schedule:
- Â "Having Fun with STEM!" – June 8-July 5
- "Micro-Electronics: It's a Small (But Powerful) World!" – July 6-July 26
- Â "From Bike Helmets to Flying Cars – Composite Materials Make All Things Possible!" – July 27-Aug. 16
- "Grab Your Telescope and Travel Through Time!" – Aug. 17-Sept. 7
The videos will appear during the on-screen movie trailers and announcements that air before this summer's G, PG and PG-13 rated feature films at the following theaters:
- Shore 8 – Huntington, N.Y.
- Del Amo 18 with IMAX – Torrance, Calif.
- Irving Cinemas 10 – Irving, Texas
- Fairfax 10 and Fairfax 14 – Fairfax, Va.
- RGL1258 Movies at Wekiva 8 – Altamonte Springs, Fla.
- Cinemark Egyptian 24 – Hanover, Md.
- RGL1043 Mira Mesa 18 with IMAX – San Diego
Produced by PGFilm Entertainment, the video series will also be featured online at http://www.northropgrumman.com/stemflix so that young people and their parents nationwide can learn about STEM. In addition to the movie theater shorts, the site will feature expanded versions of the videos, home versions of the experiments, fun facts about STEM, behind-the-scenes photos from the filming of the STEM FlixTM series and more to help young people get better acquainted with STEM.

Howdy,I have a couple first time questions for the forum. I'm looking to lighten my pack (baseweight is around 19 lbs). My only bag right now is a 10 year old 53 ounce FF 0 degree bag with DryLoft. This is my biggest target for weight reduction right now.I live above 10,000 feet. Most of my backpacking is in the CO Rockies and Southern Utah desert/canyon country.My thoughts are to purchase a WM Highlite (or Summerlite) for warmer weather camping and possibly layer with a Jacks-R-Better Stealth Quilt for the shoulder seasons. Even with the bag and quilt together the weight is a respectable 1 pound 14 ounces. The quilt doubles as a serape so I should be able to leave my 16ounce down jacket at home. I also figure the quilt will fit in my dog's pack. If I don't need it at night he could use it for a bit of extra warmth.Any thoughts on this system for the conditions I might face?Secondly, I am 5'6". Should I go with a regular 6' bag or a 5'6"bag. I'm concerned that since I'm right at the bag length it will be too short. My current 6' bag is slighly too long but I can put clothing at the foot of the bag to take up space. Any insight on bag length for me?
Jim, I'm doing the same thing but from a different angle. I use a JRB No Sniveller for warmer weather camping and a WM Versalite Super for cold weather. I haven't done this yet, but my plan is to layer my quilt over my bag when it gets really cold. I've spent the last several weeks sleeping comfortably in my quilt, in my house, at about 63°F. I've been comfortable down to 37°F outside and I think I can go much lower. I think a quilt has a wider comfort range than a bag. A quilt can be a little more difficult to use, however. It takes a little skill to deal with drafts. A bag is, by design, fairly draft free. Above about 65°F, in still air, the No Sniveller becomes rather warm for me. Someone who owns the Stealth can hopefully give an idea of it's range.
For me a 48" wide quilt is great as a hammock quilt, but it is not wide enough to use as an overquilt.
Good point Richard. I haven't layered my quilt over a bag yet. I had anticipated doing this in my hammock where I thought it might work. You don't need as much width in a hammock. Now that you mention it, I'm doubtful that it would work on the ground with a quilt as narrow as the No Sniveller or Stealth. I use hat clips as straps to keep the edges of the quilt under me when on the ground. I'll have to try this with my sleeping bag. I think Jim's best bet is just to use a quilt for 3 season use.
Eric,I use a No Sniveller with a Nunatak Arc Alpinist for winter. The AA is 55" wide and fits over the NS well. The AA footbox is so narrow that you loss a lot of loft to compression. I use a coat over the AA.
Thanks for your insight. I'm still undecided on a bag, quilt, or combo. Right now I'm looking at the WM Ultralite, WM Summerlite, or the the Nunatak Arc Alpinist. I've never really used a quilt and I'm a bit hesitant to make the jump. The Arc Alpinist also carries a higher $ premium. Both the bag and quilt have 2.5" of loft. The quilt does have the benefit of extra space for layering and a weight savings of 5 ounces. I like the idea of a bag to eliminate drafts and also the integrated hood for colder temps. Some of the quilt reviews say they bought a seperate down hood for lower temps which negates some of the weight savings while adding even more $'s to the equation. As usual, I'm over evaluting but I can't afford to spend $300+ on something I won't like. Decisions...decisions.
Jim, I received a JRB Hood and Sleeves for Christmas. I intend to use them when it's below freezing. I haven't needed them for typical 3 season use. The hood on your bag is weight you are carrying rather you need it or not. The versatility of the JRB quilts is hard to beat. Have you ruled out the JRB quilts? Have you seen the article on Unconventional Sleep Systems?
Eric, I haven't completely ruled out the No-Sniveller. BPL does give it very positive reviews. I've spent WAY too much time reading reviews and articles including the one you mention :). The versatility is very appealing. I just don't have enough experience to know if I will be comfortable with a quilt in temps near or below freezing. I'm sure the WM Ultralite would be more than adequate for me. Perhaps the No-Sniveller with my base layers, down jacket, and fleece hat is enough. It would be a leap of faith for me.I will be thinking it over this weekend as I'm lugging around my 0 degree bag.
Jim you will not need the down jacket for the 32* range you are seeking... Base layer, incl socks and balaclava and a No Sniveller is easy 32 for most folk, especially on the ground.... If you want to totally eliminate the air leak issues of a quilt consider the Down to Earth torso length 1/8 eversote pad converter... Pad and quilt and compression sack will come in under 1lb 8 oz... All the security of a bag... and ...all the flexibility of a wearable quilt...plus an included pad...There is a spot-light posted on this approach back in Jan...Remember I'm biased.Pan

|Two Hurt in Motorcycle Accident
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 02 March 2011 11:24
A woman was seriously hurt in a motorcycle-car crash at about 11 this morning in Boone.
Watauga Medics and Boone Fire carefully moved the 20-year-old Megan Deal onto a backboard for transport to Watauga Medical Center while Jacob Praxco, also 20, the driver was treated on the scene for a slight head injury. He later sought treatment at Watauga Medical Center. The Gas tank was torn from the cycle by the impact with a Ford sedan, that was waiting to turn onto Horn in the West Drive, just past the NC 105 extension on King Street. Boone Police are investigating.

Critical Mass Bag (out-of-stock)
Out of Stock Product Number: 26748
The Critical Mass Bag by Patagonia is a full-sized, fully featured courier bag that holds all the gear you need for a full day - from the gym to school to the office.
Climbers have haul bags, commuters have the Critical Mass. Downsized slightly this season for easier carrying, this bike bag still holds enough gear for a full day without bogging you down. It has padding on the back and along the contoured base to protect contents and provide structure. The main compartment features a drop pocket that secures with a hook-and-loop tab, a mesh pocket for visibility, a padded electronics pocket, pen sleeves and a secure zippered pocket. A padded computer sleeve suspends a 17-inch or smaller laptop off the ground to keep it safe from hard knocks. The front flap overlaps both sides of the bag to thwart rain; it has a pocket that closes with a water-resistant zipper. An external side pocket holds a phone, power cords or water bottle. Its no-slip shoulder strap is fully adjustable, and the waist strap stows away when not in use. With a topside carrying handle, a reflective panel for visibility at night and a bike-light mount. Made of 600-denier recycled polyester with a polyurethane coating and a Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish.
* This product does not qualify for shipping to all countries.
- Main flap opens to largest compartment housing one drop pocket, one mesh pocket, one padded electronics pocket, and three slots for pens; exterior, zippered pocket on flap has moisture-shedding reverse coil zipper

Comments about Patagonia Critical Mass Bag:
Excellent product; Patagonia is always a good buy.
I carry two large cameras, a large lens and a few smaller lenses, a 15" laptop, a few books and some odds and ends in here. And believe it or not, there's room for more, and despite the weight of what I carry (~18-30 lbs) the strap distributes the weight very well and my shoulder doesn't get nearly as fatigued as it could. Very good for a single-strap bag.
The padding is smartly placed and doesn't move around. Even with a laptop in the built-in pocket, it fits my back and doesn't bounce. The pockets are well thought out. It repels water very well, although obviously if you're going rafting you'll want something geared more toward that.
It's okay for biking, but like most messenger bags, if you turn your body around, the bag will fall to the front. The little keeper strap helps a little, but physics are physics. The wide strap and the construction improve on the classic flat messenger bag concept considerably, however. I'd go for this over any other messenger bag I've ever used on a bike.
Only wish two things: that the cross strap buckle was easier to flip from side to side so I could switch shoulders and still have the extra strap, and that the flap pocket was the same size as the flap, or at least close.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
A study done by a firm named Civic Economics, paid for by Salt Lake City, confirmed what most of us in business in the Carbon County area already know.
It pays everyone for local people to shop locally.
The report of the study came via the Salt Lake Tribune last Thursday when they reported that the study said independent, local retailers return 52 percent of their revenue to the local economy in Salt Lake as opposed to 14 percent that is contributed by national chains.
In the restaurant business, the proportion is even higher. Locally owned restaurants send 79 percent of their revenue back into the local coffers in one way or another while national chain eateries only contribute 30 percent.
All we can say to that study is, we told you so.
For years the local media, our newspaper and the radio stations in the area, have been running various kinds of "Shop local" promotions. We have told our readers and listeners time and time again that when they spend their money with local businesses, they get a return on it.
In the last couple of months the Business Expansion and Retention Program has been working closely with all of us on the "Did you know?" Campaign. Each week we run ads in the paper and the radio stations use that same information to promote businesses that bring returns to our area. Now some of the businesses we have highlighted are not owned locally, but have a big impact on our economy through wages, taxes and other services they buy locally. We have pointed out for many of the featured businesses the number of employees they have, what their tax contribution is, and the various other kinds of charities and events they support locally.
Yes it is a very good thing to spend your money here. It helps all of us. Yet we always hear from people who brag about getting a deal "over the mountain" on various kinds of things.
This county was built on the energy industry, and to this day we depend on it substantially. However, if one looks at the spin offs that buying locally provides, that part of our economy is as important as gas and coal.
When you buy locally you provide jobs for your neighbors, taxes for the county and cities and businessmen and women with profits they can reinvest in the local area.
What really gets me is when someone goes to Walmart in Springville or Provo to buy the same thing they can get here. Even if Walmart, K-Mart and others in our area are chains, the money you spend here at least goes to local taxes and wages, and not to a county upstate.
The worst culprit, however, is the internet purchases of items. I admit that often you can order things that we can't get here. Then do that. But to order something that you can get here to save a buck or two, even if the shipping is free, is like sticking a pin in your own little toe. No it doesn't cripple you, but if you do it enough, one day you will get a dirty pin and it will get infected. That is exactly what you do when you spend money on web purchases for things you can readily buy locally.
I have heard a lot of stories from people about their reasons for shopping outside the area. They range from they can't get the item they want here (which is believable with some things) to the line that the local businesses are greedy.
Well if trying to keep your business alive and make a profit at the same time is greedy, then everyone in the county who sells anything falls into that category. It is how business works.
And you can't tell me that when you go to a shop in Provo and buy what you could buy here, that the people running that business don't want to make a profit. They do and they love it when unique customers, from outside the area come in and buy stuff.
A majority of the money you spend locally circulates here and doesn't run off to some other place. Sure most items sold must be purchased by the business outside the area, but why not keep most of the profit on that product in the local economy? All of us, regardless of who we work for, are affected by spending that goes on outside Carbon County by local residents.
So the next time you decide to make a purchase outside the county, start thinking about the dollars you are spending that Carbon County businesses and workers need and could use.
Remember that the job you affect could be your own.

Biting into a freshly delivered dish that's nowhere near hot can turn a great evening out into an unpleasant online review of your restaurant. An excellent way to avoid cold food is by cooking and serving with some convenient oven to table dishes. With the right selection at your disposal there's no need to transfer food from the pan to a plate before bringing it into the dining room. Serve up something scrumptious, that's still steaming hot, by putting a few oven to table dishes to work in the kitchen.

My favorite. I really appreciate how this product is scented. I bought this soap because I thought it looked cool. This hand soap is excellent. I highly recommend this product..............
This purpose cleaning wash is the best face wash available. It leaves the skin feeling clean, free of chemicals and residue. It cleans away oil without drying my skin. It does not cause dryness or irritation, it is very gentle on the sensitive skin. Highly recommended.
This vanilla hand lotion is 100% Pure and Unrefined Shea Butter.
It Leaves the Skin Soft and Supple. This hand lotion smell divine, moisturize well, and just generally lift my spirits when I use them.
This verbena hand lotion Leaves skin soft, supple and it is 100% pure. It contain Essential Oil, it is a Creamy Natural Formula. It smells heavenly and soaks in the skin quickly. It leaves No greasy residue.
"I've loved Dr. Bronner's soap since the first time I used it. I used this eucalyptus scented soap to clean my apartment. I used somewhere around a half oz (probably) in a bucket of water and it cleaned my whole apartment, floor to ceiling. The fact that this cleaner can be used for every aspect of cleaning and I could use the same bucket for my entire apartment saved me so much water. I love a product that has multiple uses. Since being turned on to Dr. Bronner's, I don't use anything else. I use it as an all purpose cleaner (I use the Sal Suds for super dirty jobs), a body wash, a shampoo, laundry detergent...you name it, this soap can probably do it. The eucalyptus scent is very refreshing."

AMHERST -- 600 members of the Amherst Chamber of Commerce received notices from insurance providers like Blue Cross letting them know their insurance will soon be canceled.
Just like a company may provide insurance plans from insurance companies for employees, the Amherst Chamber of Commerce does the same thing for its members.
The Chamber of Commerce President tells us the policies are being cancelled because they don't meet the federal essential health benefits required.
"That doesn't mean they are not going to have insurance. It doesn't mean there's not insurance they qualify for. It just means their individual policies no longer exist," COC President Colleen DiPirro said.
"We would like the president to admit that it's a mistake to force a one size fits all plan with significantly higher costs onto americans who don't need a particular coverage. "
"We're just suggesting, lets hit the pause button for the next twelve months - lets allow companies to continue to offer policies and meet the needs of their employees," Congressman Collins said.
The chamber is offering workshops -- to help people navigate the state exchange or find a policy individuals can still possibly turn to under their current insurance providers.
"Every person in the United States who had a plan that did not comply with this benefits received this letter," DiPirro said.

Delicious, antioxidant-rich cabbage may not be the most popular vegetable in the garden, but it offers wonderful flavor and versatility that should not be overlooked, especially for warming winter meals. In season from late fall through winter, now's the time to enjoy cabbage.
An ancestor of broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower, cabbage was once prized by ancient Egyptians and Greeks, and for centuries, during famines, cabbage was a staple that helped sustain people in need.
Red cabbage, such as our Red Express, is very low in saturated fat and cholesterol and a good source of thiamin, riboflavin, folate, calcium, iron and magnesium. It is a very good source of dietary fiber, potassium, manganese, and vitamins A, C, K and B6.
Generally used to make coleslaw, it is also perfect for Braised Red Cabbage and Apples (below), a classic German-style dish that is easy to prepare. It complements a variety of foods, such as braised meats, game birds, and pork dishes. When cooking red cabbage, it's important to note that cabbage's red coloring reacts to changes in Ph, so avoid cooking it in aluminum cooking vessels and include an ingredient like acidic fruit, lemon, vinegar or wine.
Braised Red Cabbage and Apples
2 tablespoons bacon fat
1 small onion, diced
2 large tart apples, such as Granny Smith, peeled and diced
1 small head red cabbage, cored and shredded
½ cup dark brown sugar
¼ cup cider vinegar
Kosher salt, to season
Freshly ground black pepper, to season
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Sauté onion in bacon fat in a large Dutch oven. When slightly caramelized, add apples; sauté for two minutes. Add cabbage, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Bring mixture to a boil then cover and bake for 40 minutes or until cabbage is very soft. SERVES 6
