With another round of layoffs hitting ATK last week, where was the hubbub? I have yet to see anything garnering any sort of real attention, just two small blurbs. I realize the government is trying to push the positives regarding decreases in unemployment, but to ignore a major impact on our own community is negligible at best.
At least one group is giving these employees hope. Primerica is hosting an open house to show people a better way. I'm not promoting the event here, you can look at the events page for that. I'm just trying to express my frustration that we aren't publicizing the extreme unemployment rates in the valley. With this 2nd round of layoffs at ATK, and the closing of...

Last week while driving from Egypt (east of Preston) to Preston and back, I went from fog/smog to sunshine and back to fog/smog. Depending upon where you were in the valley last week, the visibility greatly varied.
The weather lately in Cache Valley doesn't just affect us humans. The air quality and fog also have an impact on the animals and birds...

When it comes to Social Security benefits, you may be wondering who must pay taxes on them and who does not. Let’s look at the numbers.
If you file a federal tax return as an "individual" and your total income is more than $25,000, then the answer for you is yes: you’ll have to pay federal taxes on your benefits. If you file a joint return and you and your spouse have a total income more than $32,000, you’ll be expected to pay federal taxes as well. If your taxable income is below those thresholds, there is no need to pay taxes on your Social Security benefits.
If you need to pay taxes on a portion of your...

Last week I'm was presently surprised to see the beautiful windows of the Bluebird Restaurant had been changed. The windows before were such a nice change to Logan downtown. Giving a feel of how historic the Bluebird Restaurant is. The new windows however were even better. With old time pictures of local places. You could stop and stare at the windows and see dozens of different things each time. It was a joy to walk past The Bluebird to see just the window display.
Imagine my surprise when I walked by just the other day and found it all gone. The beautiful windows that were a showcase to Logan's history vanished over night. I'm horribly saddened to see such a feature of Logan vanish without...

Are you an avid film viewer? Prefer casual viewing? No matter your movie watching status, I’m sure you’ve noticed a difference in the amount of violence in films over the last while.
If you’re old enough to remember, you know how mild the films were throughout the 40's, 50's and the 60's even. Perhaps you’ve heard this statement before from an aged...

The holidays are over, the gift-giving (and spending) is done, and you’re almost finished returning all of the things you don’t want or need. You’ve even jotted down your New Year’s resolutions and plan to stick to them.
Time to relax? Maybe not right away — it’s time to start thinking about your taxes.
Here are Social Security’s top three tips for making tax time a lot easier.
1) Don’t forget the children. Make sure the kids (and all the dependents) you list on your annual tax forms have Social Security numbers. Yes, children do need Social Security numbers. There once was a time when a child did not...

A great idea has been corrupted by those who cannot be trusted to provide unbiased climate information.
RealClimate.org co-founder William Connolley has been unmasked as one of the bullies that used his position to further a cause and hinder the pursuit of truth.
Alas, this combined with climategate will further the distrust of the people where both government and science are concerned.
Wikibullies - another demonstration of the depth alarmists will sink to in pursuit of their beliefs.

Is America great? I imagine Sarah Palin wouldn't hesitate one moment to say you betcha. Me, I'm not saying we aren't great, just that in a lot of ways we haven't really been thoroughly tested yet. We've been tested in helping ourselves to a pristine continent full of resources, and we have done good, real good, on that front. But we haven't yet been thoroughly tested in sound management of a continent over the long haul, and by long haul, I mean a few thousand years. Hey, China has been tested over that long of a haul. Is China great? Well, their society and culture are still around, although they've come that close on occasion to having taken the great leap forward into oblivion, so...
