Start the year off laughing with this murderously funny comedy that has become one of the staples of American theatre! Two friendly old spinsters use their "special" elderberry wine to make a killing! If you think that's crazy, there are plenty more zany antics to keep you laughing all evening long.

If you’re ready to quit using tobacco products and want to share your story with Utah, now is your chance. The Utah Department of Health (UDOH) Tobacco Prevention and Control Program (TPCP) is hosting a casting call to recruit current Utah tobacco users for its new, statewide reality TV campaign, ‘Be A Quitter.’

Anyone who is thinking about quitting in 2013 can visit www.beaquitterutah.com and tell their story in 250 words or less for a chance to star in the commercials. Those who do will receive extra quit support and motivation, and will be an inspiration to others who are trying to quit.

Participants will receive a stipend plus a tablet device to help them document their quitting process, including struggles and successes, through social media and video updates. The campaign will cast 8-10 participants from across Utah who represent a range of ages and types of tobacco use.

Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, November 14th, 5:03 pm

FARMINGTON -- According to Davis School District, one of their students created a campaign to donate Halloween candy to victims of Hurricane Sandy.

He is a 6th grade student at Eagle Bay Elementary who came up with the idea after deciding he did not need all the candy he got for Halloween.

The district said he contacted the Red Cross and they agreed to mail the candy for him. Additionally, the school’s PTA has sponsored a Unity in the Community project where families signed up to work in the Bountiful Food Pantry.

The pantry was so excited that families would want to help, it is using Eagle Bay Elementary as a pilot school to see if it is successful in helping.

If it works, they say they are going to launch a Unity in the Community campaign and advertise through the paper for other families to sign up and help at the pantry.
