Preparing for 2002 at

How
sourdough starter got its start
3/10/99 One can imagine a never-fail, crowd-pleasing
recipe thousands of years old would be sought after by a throng of cooks
trying to get their hands on it. Interestingly enough this recipe is
probably a part of your repertoire, and has never been thought of as
a relic. / By Tara Bench
Recycling:
Talking trash in Cache
3/24/99 I recently went to New York City for
Spring Break, and noticed the unique system of recycling there.
On a street corner, I threw my half-empty pop bottle in the wire trash
cans I saw on most corners of the city. Only a few seconds later, a
man with his own bag of trash took it out of the can, dumped the remaining
flat Diet Pepsi, and put it in his own sack. Why? That bottle is probably
worth money at the nearest recycling center. Here in Cache Valley, we
are not so "fortunate" to have our own free curbside pick up. However,
there are a variety of ways to help with the recycling cause, and many
reasons why we should.
Homes sought for flood of
local pets
3/24/99 It could be said that it's raining cats
and dogs in Cache Valley. More accurately, floods of litters of kittens
and puppies found abandoned in open fields, by the side of the highway
or in the mountains. The Cache Valley Humane Society is hoping to be
able to provide a shelter for these animals in the near future. Land
to support them has been purchased, but the money to care for the animals
is still lacking.

educational endeavors funded by the government. Karen H. Parshall spoke
in the Eccles conference center on Thursday about the emergence of the
American mathematical research community.
