The April Chamber of Commerce luncheon will be held on Wednesday, April 8th at 12:00 noon at the Tooele County Health Dept. / Utah State University Ex-tension Auditorium (located at 151 North Main, Tooele). The presenter and sponsor of the luncheon will be the Tooele Deseret Industries.

In the economy’s present plight, the ad-age “a penny saved is a penny earned” has never rung truer. As such, Deseret In-dustries, with its wide swath of incredible deals and big bargains, can on any given day be a preferred destination for shoppers of all ages.

But the magic happening at Deseret Industries won’t be found hanging on the racks or sitting on the showroom floor. It’s wearing a maroon vest and working for a better quality of life. It might be driving a forklift, sorting sundry shoes or putting price tags on clothing donations. Perhaps it’s a single mother entering the workforce for the first time, a displaced worker or a

Somalia refugee. Because miracles are hap-pening at Deseret Industries — one person at a time — as employees build better lives for themselves via job training and self-reliance plans.

With 43 retail locations in the western United States and a manufacturing hub in Salt Lake City, Deseret Industries is a multimillion-dollar not-for-profit agency. However, its foremost objective can be distilled down to something as simple as

giving its employees the skills they need to get a better job than they’ve ever had before.(Church News,1-31-09)

We are excited to be a part of the Tooele Business community. Deseret Industries is a division of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the Welfare Depart-ment. We are a donation center, a retail thrift store, a humanitarian center, and a development center to the 50+ current associates who work here. Our goal is to provide training that leads to a higher paying job with stability. We provide a safe place to work and offer skills training op-portunities to our associates. We also have a budget of up to $3,000.00 per associate in skills training money to improve their long term job opportunities. This is done through offering certificate programs and educational opportunities such as book-keeping, phlebotomy, welding, or truck driving. We appreciate the community for the outpouring of donations which makes

Congratulations to Renee Harvey, Office administrator for Prudential Utah, Tooele. Renee has been chosen as the Tooele County Chamber of Commerce Employee of the Month! Renee was nominated by her coworkers and they had this to say about Renee.

“All of us at Prudential Utah are pleased to honor Renee for Employee of the Month, although sometimes we think we work for her.

We took Renee for granted until she informed us that she was moving. We were frantic! However would we replace her? She is always courteous and kind to us and all of our clients. She always does more than is expected. She tries to keep the Broker organized and we are proud of her

for that.Our Broker’s mother was

terminally ill last year and she was gone most of the time. Rene held everything together and we didn’t miss a beat.

She told us last week she is not moving after all, a huge sigh of relief, some of us even cried. We will never take her for granted again. Thanks for not moving Renee!”

The Chamber is proud to recognize employees who go above and beyond their job

description to make things easier for their co-workers and to provide fantastic cus-tomer service. If you would like to nominate a co-worker or employee, please contact the Chamber office at 435-882-0690 or send us an email chamber@tooelechamber.com

Are you tired of hearing the words “SHOP LOCAL”? Do you understand the meaning behind the words? During the difficult eco-nomic situation that our country is expe-riencing; it is more important now than ever to educate the citizens of this great county, what “Shop Local” is all about.

Because the words “Shop Local” has been used extensively in the past, it may be falling on deaf ears. One local Chamber member has taken it upon herself to begin the education process once again and start working towards helping others to know the importance of keeping your business here at home. At her own expense, Cari Gavin of Jack Rabbit Press; has printed hundreds of colorful posters and displayed them throughout the county. The words “Shop Local” get your attention, but the small words are the most important! Did you know that Sales Tax Dollars repair our streets? Build & maintain our public parks? Pay our police officers?

As I have spoken to several groups in our county during the past several months, I have found that many do not understand the process of where the money comes from that our local city and county governments

use to take care of our needs. A large por-tion comes from sales tax! Every resident of this county pays this tax when purchas-ing items from candy bars to cars. If you purchase furniture from a Salt Lake City business, you help Salt Lake City streets departments to repair their streets! If you purchase a recreational vehicle from a Utah County business you help Utah County to hire more police officers! If you think that a small sack of groceries purchased outside of Tooele County won’t make a difference, you’re wrong. It all adds up… it’s our re-sponsibility to make our own communities the best that they can be.

Food for thought: Has your local PTA group, sports team or school group solicited help from a local business lately? I would dare to say that the answer would be yes. Now ask yourself, when was the last time I made a purchase from the same business I was soliciting? Business owners can not always support every community event or fundraising activity; although I think that if you were a loyal customer to that business, they would be in a better position to help you out.

I understand that not all purchases can be made within our county at this time, but if it can, please buy local. I have certainly tried my best to spend my money locally and I’m asking you to do the same. Look for Cari’s posters around your community and reminder others of the importance to spend your money where it will better serve us all.

Prevention key to stopping crimeChamber members

were invited to attend an educational breakfast meeting last month to learn the basics of how to protect their business from crime. Officer Todd Hewitt, Investigations Sergeant, Tooele City Police Depart-ment; effectively presented the attendees with informa-tion that would increase their ability to protect and prevent a potential crime against their property and employees.

Although population, opportunity and the economy are factors that normally show an increase in crime; national crime statistics show a decrease in property crimes through 2006. Nationally, crime trends show that a theft happens every 2.3 seconds; burglaries happen every 9.2 seconds and ID Theft occurs every 9 seconds. Gaining the knowledge to protect yourself and your business from these trends is priceless. How can you protect yourself and your business? Officer Hewitt suggested several simple, but usually overlooked, crime prevention methods.

Audible alarm systems seem to be more effective than silent alarms. If your business has an alarm, make sure that it is in proper working order and that it is turned on when your business is closed. Stickers or signs showing that your business has an alarm

system is also a deterrent to crime. Security cameras need to be checked and cleaned regularly and kept in good working order to be effective. Make sure that they are turned on and recording after business hours. Using a professional to install cameras at angles that will help identify the intruder is imperative. When purchasing cameras, alarms or locks; take the time to consider what your

business is worth. You may be able to get a lower price on a piece of equipment, but will it work? Check out quality, not just price.

Understand the limitations of the dispatch and response time of police officers. It may take nearly 60 seconds for dispatch to receive notification from an alarm company and then dispatch police to your location, when it takes a thief only 30 seconds to break a window, grab the items they choose and leave the premises.

Lighting can also serve as a deterrent. Pe-rimeter and inside lighting is important. The lighting provides safety for your employees when they enter or leave the building during late night or early morning hours. Light-ing will certainly help to deter a criminal who would rather work in the dark to go unnoticed.

Anthony Davis and Rich Johnson, own-ers, have recently opened a new business in Tooele County . Black Rock Nursery is lo-cated on the corner of Hwy 36 and Canyon Road in Lakepoint next to Moore’s Auto.

With over 18 years experience in the landscaping industry, and the title of Utah Certified Nursery Professional, these guys are experts. They offer many landscaping supplies including flowering, shade, conifer, and fruit trees; several types of shrubs, pe-rennials, and ground cover plants as well as landscaping stone. Decorative mulch and bark are also among the supplies you will find for landscaping your yard and garden this season; and all these items are available at Black Rock Nursery.

Contractors are available to help you with installation if you would rather not

“do it yourself ”. Anthony and Rich offer the best guarantees available in the state on all of their trees and shrubs! All plants are locally grown and specific to the state of Utah.

The nursery is currently open on Mon-days thru Saturdays from 8 am to 6 pm. They will be open later in the season when the weather permits. They can be reached at (801) 971-0373 if you have any questions, but it’s best if you just stop by and check out all they have to offer.

Black rock nursery

anthony Davis and Rich Johnson celebrate the grand opening of their new Black Rock Nursery, located in Lake point, with a ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by the Tooele County Chamber of Commerce. supporting their husbands in this new adventure are their wives Nicole Davis and ellen Johnson. Many family members and friends joined in the ribbon cutting celebration along with the following Chamber members; Chris and Berna sloan, group 1 Real estate and Debbie Winn, Chamber executive Director. anthony and Rich are ready to serve the residents of the community with their extensive knowl-edge of landscaping supplies and products. Black Rock Nursery is located next to Moore ’s auto on the corner of Canyon Road and sR 36 in Lake point.

Be sure to install quality dead bolts and locking devices at your business. Change locks or have them re-keyed when employees leave your company for employment elsewhere. Report suspicious activity such as unknown vehicles parked near your store before or after business hours. Watch customers who spend an extended amount of time in your store and do not make a purchase.

ID Theft is the fasting growing crime in our nation. Protect your business by shredding client information, bank statements, credit card numbers and old checks. Keep drawers and files with impor-tant information locked at all times, including the time you are doing business. Treat all pertinent information as if it were cash.

Prevention is the key to protecting our own businesses and oth-ers. Sharing information with your neighbors will aid in the effort to lower crime.

The Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and staff would like to thank Officer Hewitt and the Tooele City Police Department for their time and effort to present this information and for their efforts to protect our businesses. Because of the increased interest in this topic, the Chamber will repeat this presentation during the month of May. Please check the Chamber calendar at www.tooele-chamber.com for upcoming information.

many things to consider when getting ready for promIt’s all over in just one night. But the plan-

ning, contemplating and big decision making fills up many prior hours, days, weeks and even months. What is the big occasion? It is only the biggest formal event in high school — Prom.

In our local schools, prom is for juniors. The guys and girls play out their fantasy night dressed to impress from head to toe. While there are some new fashion trends, prom defi-

nitely hasn’t gone out of style. And the most talked about topic during the prom season is the dress.

Bright vibrant colors such as fuchsia and lime are still popular this year. Black white and red are still very trendy as well, in fact some designers are experimenting with black and white prints. But with new colors and styles popping up this prom, a simple reminder to those who might be wary of the fashion hunt.

Before shopping for that dress, find out about your school’s dress code. Also, don’t judge a dress you have not tried on. “It’s all about the kind of look you want to have,” says Denise Harvey, co-owner of Modern Victoria. “A lot of these dresses look ok on the hanger, but when the girl wears it, they look fantastic. The girls really need to try them on to get the best idea of whether it suits their figure and personality.”

When going shopping, make sure you know your price range. Prom dresses average about $350 depend-ing on the designer, but many great gowns can be found for less than that. The differ-ence is really in the build of the dress. Prom dresses that have been made like a wed-ding gown, with the slip and bustier built in, can run over $500. For the girl who doesn’t mind renting or purchasing those separately if the gown requires it, prom dresses can start at $100.

The tuxedo is another im-portant fashion need. Tuxedo designers are stepping outside the traditional “black tuxedo box” into a whole range of styles. Pinstripes, tone-on-tone stripes, silver, chocolate, white, and flip collars are all

part of the new trends available to the guy who wants to look his sharpest. And of course, the color options for vest and ties have expanded to coordinate with the latest dress colors.

For the guys, make sure you know the color of your date’s dress so you can coordinate. Harvey advises picking an accent color from the dress for the guy’s vest and tie.

“The rule of thumb if you’re matching, is to find something that is a shade darker,” Harvey says. “You can go with the main color of her dress, but going a shade darker is just as ap-propriate. Black, white and silver are also great neutrals that are sure to go with any dress color.”

Harvey says that a guy going to prom needs to order his tux as soon as possible to get the best selection. “The earlier the better, and that is true with any tuxedo retailer. The closer it gets to prom, the more difficult it may be to get the first choice of style you want. Some tuxedo places ask for a second choice of style on orders within two weeks of prom.”

However, if anyone comes in the day before, Harvey says she can still get him a tux for prom.

“The closer you get to your prom date, the less selection there is. You can come in the day before and still get a tuxedo, because we have an in-stock stash of great standard tuxedos and tailcoats just for short notice events like that. You just won’t be able to get one out of the books.”

Flowers and dinner are all part of the prom

experience too. Tooele has several florists who offer a spectacular selection. Local restaurants, such as Dimitri’s and Ixtapa, provide deli-cious meals before the dancing begins. Harvey recommends that the teenagers shop local for their prom needs. She moved here from Salt Lake nine years ago, and says it’s not “all that it’s cracked up to be”.

“Salt Lake is nice to visit, but we don’t live there,” Harvey points out. “It really is worth it

to shop here in Tooele first. We get customers all the time who spend hours in Salt Lake only to come in and have the “that’s the one!” con-nection with one of our gowns. Our tuxedos also average $30-40 less than the places we have seen in Salt Lake. And, not only do the teens get great style for their dollar, they are helping out Tooele through the sales taxes we collect. Salt Lake sales taxes only benefit Salt Lake. Tooele sales taxes build roads, improve community programs, and just make Tooele a better place to live. Tooele is a great town, and if that town pride translates into dollars, we all benefit.”

our program possible.At the Tooele Deseret Industries we

partner with local nonprofit organizations to help with local humanitarian projects and other needs. We currently are partner-ing with 12 such organizations totaling about $30,000.00 per year. Our in house humanitarian service room provides aid to local needs and gives opportunity for the community to serve others; all are invited to help in this service.

Circumstances vary on an individual basis, but on average associates remain with Deseret Industries for 6-15 months. In some instances our associates are placed into a business partnership with a local business. A business partnership is where Deseret Industries will pay an associates wages and continue to assume the OSHA responsibility while the associate appren-tices with a local business. We are currently seeking businesses and other organizations that we can outplace our best workers to give them more experience in their chosen occupation.

The Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites will be re-launching to join the IHG brand in modern-izing their look! The hotel has been through the Stay Real training, ex-ceptional customer service to make sure we offer great hotels that guests love! We have installed the majority of our new signs with the new logo. Coming in June we will have designer lights around our building. We will have all new hallmarks

in the lobby and around the grounds! We would love everyone from the community to stop by and see the new look!

With the change came a new General Manager, Carrie Cushman. She is from Tooele and is happy to be able to work

closely with the local community. Carrie has brought the level of customer service to an all time high at the Holiday Inn Express. We are all extremely proud of her and the staff! They do a phe-nomenal job, taking pride in everything they do and offering their friendly person-alities to everyone they come in contact with!
