SNOW COLLEGE MEANS BUSINESS On December 7, 2009, Snow College held the Snow College "Cash Blast" event in which over $2,000 of cash was awarded to Business Idea Competition winners. The college received over 40 entries in the competition. The first place winner, awarded $1,000, was Jerrica Poulson, a student on the Snow College Richfield campus. Her idea was a company that she recently launched, YoYoBo's, which produces custom clothing accessories targeted to echo boomer babies. Each accessory sports a vintagestyle bow made from a "quilters yoyo." Jerrica was unable to be present at the awards ceremony because she was at home with her husband and her three-day old daughter at the time. It was a pre-birth gift for that daughter that gave her the idea for the company. Second place went to Lawrence Durtschi, a non-traditional student taking business classes on the Ephraim campus. Durtschi's idea, for which he was awarded $500, was for technology integration into iPods and iPhones, which enable them to be part of an advertising-based revenue generating process. Five runner-up entries were also awarded $100. Among these was a team of two Manti High School students who are utilizing concurrent enrollment and taking Snow College classes, Kaden Hanks and David Compton. Other runner-up winners were Koby Willis, a Snow College business student; Duke Dance, a Snow College communications student; Brian Stevenson, formerly a student of the Automotive Technology program on Snow College's Richfield campus and now a student on the Ephraim campus; and a team of two other Snow College students, Vanessa Coleman and Kaylee Whiting. The competition was supported by the University of Utah's Opportunity Quest program. Working with the program as student director of the Business Idea Competition was Snow College business student, Gregory Harrison. The Business Idea Competition received direction and support not only from Snow College business faculty, but also the Sanpete County Economic Development office and the Utah Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at Snow College. Due to the success of the event, plans are already underway for another business idea competition next semester. UDOT REQUESTS RESPONSIBLE SNOW STORAGE The Utah Department of Transportation encouragesbusiness and homeowners to use on-site snow storage areas to improve traveler safety on State Roads. In the face of approaching winter storms, UDOT warns that snow being pushed from driveways and parking lots onto State Roads and highways causes a severe safety hazard to motorists. It is also an illegal practice (Utah Code 72-7-102). UDOT asks that local business owners, homeowners, and private property owners place the snow from their own driveways and parking lots onto areas within their own property limits. Likewise, UDOT snow removal practices include a concerted effort to keep the snow that falls on state roads within designated storage areas. With the cooperation of private property owners, plow operators can work more efficiently to provide safer driving conditions for all road users. Let me see if I have this straight. An EMPLOYEE of Garfield County claims that I am against the Alton coal mine because 'I have mine and don't care if about others'. I, as a taxpayer, pay his wages. And I'll bet he makes a lot more money than I do. Mr. Justin Fischer also makes a lot of claims about the benefits of having an EXTRA 300 trucks going thru Panguitch. He claims that the only pollution from the proposed mine will be when the coal is burned. What about the coal dust created by the mining itself: The machines digging the coal. The machines dumping the mined coal into the trucks. The residual dust being washed into the rivers and streams every time it rains. The air pollution created by an additional 300 trucks burning fuel. As to the creation of jobs: He says 50 NEW jobs in Panguitch and Hatch. Could he please be specific? What type of jobs? What type of qualifications for these jobs? As he says. The mine is in Kane County. Panguitch is 40 miles from Alton. How many people from Panguitch will drive that far? How does Mr. Fischer know if the BLM will, or will not, approve the mining of the coal on BLM land? Maybe Mr. Fischer should try representing his employers, the people of Garfield County. Not the People of Kane County. Tom Hartsfield, Panguitch ASK A SPECIALIST: DO YOU HAVE TIPS TO TAPER KITCHEN ENERGY COSTS? Lou Mueller, USU Extension You may spend a lot of time in your kitchen this holiday season, but don't spend a lot of money on wasted energy. With so many appliances in one room, the kitchen is an important place to save energy. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that cooking accounts for 4.5 percent of a home's total power bill. Consider these simple suggestions to conserve energy and lower kitchen utility costs. • Set your refrigerator temperature between 37 to 40 F and the freezer compartment at 5 F. Free-standing freezers used for long-term storage can be set at 0 F. For maximum efficiency, frost build-up should be kept under one-quarter inch. • To get accurate temperature readings in the refrigerator, float a refrigerator thermometer in a covered container of water placed in the center of the food compartment. To check freezer temperature, place the thermometer between two frozen items. Read after 24 hours. • Don't leave refrigerator and freezer doors open longer than necessary since condensers maintain cold temperatures and remove moisture. Seal all containers and cover drinks securely. • Leave 2 inches of air space around the refrigerator or freezer exterior so air can circulate and cool the coils. Don't place your refrigerator or freezer near heat sources or in direct sunlight. • Stock your shelves carefully. Air circulation in the refrigerator is essential for proper cooling, so leave space around shelved items and don't block vents. In the freezer, air space has to be cooled, so tightly stocked shelves actually conserve energy. • Consider using old-fashioned ice trays. It is estimated that an automatic icemaker increases energy consumption by 20 percent. • Follow guidelines in the owner's manual. Periodically pull your refrigerator away from the wall and vacuum the coils. Be sure gaskets are clean and pliable. An airtight seal is essential for efficient operation. • Before heating a conventional oven, consider using a smaller appliance such as a toaster oven, roasting oven, electric frying pan, pressure cooker, crock pot or portable convection oven. Microwaves also save energy since foods cook faster. • When baking, open the oven door only as needed. Ternperatures drop about 25 degrees each time the door is opened and heat has to be regenerated. • When cooking or warming foods, choose the smallest pan possible to get the job done and use lids to conserve heat. Pots and pans with flat bottoms and flat sides are more energy efficient. Be sure the base of your pan covers the burner, and keep reflectors and surfaces clean so heat radiates more efficiently. • When replacing major appliances, look for the EnergyStar label. Manufacturers must earn that endorsement by meeting strict energy-efficiency guidelines. Also compare EnergyGuide labels. These provide estimated energy consumption and yearly operating costs based on national averages.
