Kerosene Group Buy Opportunity

Kerosene Fuel, Heater and Stove Group Buy
For the Lindon and Utah county area, I'm in process of ordering 55 Gallon drums of kerosene for emergency heating, cooking and storage use and wanted to pass along this opportunity. Kerosene has been inching up in price but a 55 gallon drum of kerosene is probably lower today than it will be for some time to come.
The price for a 55 drum of kerosene is currently over $325 at a most suppliers I checked with but the current group buy price is ~$270 dollars which will include all costs, taxes and charges delivered to the driveway of your home in the Utah county area. You will however, need to provide the muscle to move it to it's final storage space at your home.

This group buy also includes kerosene heaters. There are two models available; one is a larger heat output 23,000 BTU convection heater for $133 each and the other is a radiant 10,600 BTU heater for $121. Optional extra wicks will be available for $13 each. You should get at least one extra and two for good measure.
The larger convection heater is the CV-2230 and the radiant heater is the CTN-110 both discussed here: http://www.endtimesreport.com/kerosene_heaters.html One of the advantages of this model of convection heater over those at Lowes or Home Depot is that it uses an "unpinned" wick which allows the wick to be trimmed and reused a few times without having to replace the whole wick. I still recommend getting a couple extra wicks for the heater for long term storage. A radiant heater however maybe the primary heater to start with, it is much more fuel efficient than a convection heater and will keep a room maintained at a good temperature without over heating it. A convection heater at 23,000 BTU will quickly get a room very warm and you will find that you may have to stop and start it to maintain the temperature balance. A convection heater is great for getting a room or home warm in the morning and then a radiant heater used throughout the day to keep it comfortable.

Why Kerosene for backup heating?
A number of years ago Tim Woolf (our regions preparedness specialist) gave a preparedness fireside in our ward and discussed the various emergency heating alternatives available. Kerosene was recommended because it burns clean without a vent (though a window should always be cracked in the room the heater is in), it is one of the most energy dense fuels meaning you need less of it to provide the same amount of heat compared to other fuels which also means less room and space to store enough fuel to last for a heating season. Kerosene does not store forever but it will last in storage for a good number of years with a fuel stabilizer added which some put at 10-20 years if not longer. Bro. Woolf recommended two 55 gallon drums of kerosene and a heater to last a good Utah winter for heating purposes. You will need to add more kerosene if you plan on using it with a kerosene cook stove/oven, lamps etc. If it's a long winter you are preparing for then three drums would be my recommendation. Most city fire codes allow 200-300 gallons of kerosene to be stored on your premises.
Kerosene is arguably one of the better storage fuels. It is an oil and doesn't instantly ignite like gasoline. Kerosene is classified as a Class II "combustible" liquid not a "flammable" liquid (like gasoline) because kerosene’s flash point is above 100 degrees and below 140. You still need to be cautious with kerosene but it's much less hazardous than storing gasoline, propane and other fuels like Coleman white gas which can ignite with a spark. Kerosene doesn't vaporize readily or instantly ignite like the other fuels mentioned which makes it a much safer fuel to store.

To avoid smell and fumes a kerosene heater should be started and stopped outside as well as filling of the tank on your kerosene appliance. Purchase a good funnel to prevent the kerosene from dripping on the outside of the appliance. A drum hand pump is available for $40 to help remove the kerosene from the drum but a siphon pump will also work.

But I have a fireplaceAs a comparison between kerosene and wood, two 55 gallon drums of kerosene will provide roughly the equivalent amount of BTU's as a 4x4x8 stack/cord of pine or fir wood (hard woods have more BTU potential). The difference however comes when the fuels are burned. A good kerosene heater burns at 99.9% efficiency so you get close to complete conversion of your kerosene fuel into heat. A typical fireplace burns wood at 40%-50% efficiency with most of the heat going up the chimney. A good airtight high efficient wood stove is about 70%-85%+ efficient and will help convert more of the wood's BTU potential into heat. But depending on how you burn the wood you will need over two cords of wood to match the same heat output that two 55 gallon drums of kerosene and a good kerosene heater provide. Good dry firewood runs about $120-$200 a cord this year (according to KSL classifieds). You could store 8 drums of kerosene in the same space as a single cord of wood and you don't have to chop it either. Three or four 55 gallon drums will handle a cold Utah winter.

Kerosene for CookingTwo different kerosene cook stoves a 16 wick and a double 10 wick are available in this group buy. Either of these stoves can also be used with an optional Oven that can be placed over top the stoves burner to give you a baking option. Note that the oven doesn’t have an automatic temperature regulator so you have to watch the heat output of the stove to keep the oven at the correct temperature. Kerosene is one of the few fuels that is suitable for indoor use as a cooking fuel. So if you are storing fuel for backup heat you may also want to consider using it as a cooking option.


Kerosene Support Products
Along with the kerosene, I will also be ordering the kerosene fuel stabilizer PRI-D which will help lengthen the amount of time kerosene can be stored. It can be added to the drum of fuel after the kerosene been delivered and can also be added in the future when you start to use the kerosene. A pint of PRI-D treats 255 gallons of kerosene and will cost about $23/pint. Also a Mr Funnel fuel filter is available which filters water and other "floaties" from fuels. Water can collect inside a drum or container of fuel and if it makes it into the tank of a heater or other wicked appliance can prevent the wick from working correctly.

A drum pump is a good item to have to help get the kerosene out of the 55 gallon drum into a more manageable container.




Summary of Prices: 55 Gallon Drum of kerosene: $270CV-2230 kerosene convection heater (23,000 BTU): $133CTN-110 kerosene radiant heater (10,600 BTU): $121Extra wicks for heater: $13Pint of PRI-D fuel stabilizer: $23Mr Funnel: $19Drum Pump: $40Kerosene 16 wick cook stove: $58Oven for use on stove top: $55Kerosene 16 wick stove and Oven Combo: $95Kerosene 2 burner cook stove: $70
Note: Kerosene drums will be delivered to the driveway of your home by the supplier. You will need to move it to it's final resting place. Heaters, wicks stoves, pumps and PRI-D will be available for pickup at my home in Lindon at 368 N 400 E Lindon UT 84042.

July Newsletter - Emergency Preparedness & Provident Living
Many of us in the Lindon Stake were reminded last month that the unexpected does happen. The area above 1200 east was put on alert to boil our tap water for a few days. In some homes the water looked like it had just been bucketed out of a dirty ditch. The City repaired the spring runoff problem quickly but we could not use the public water supply for about 2 days.

For those in the affected area that were prepared, this event was just a mild inconvenience and a chance to practice using our preparedness supplies. If you were boiling water or running to the grocery store for bottled water you were unprepared. Consider the scenario if this had been a bigger emergency like a large scale earthquake. The grocery stores still open would be emptied of bottled water and food in a few hours. Power and natural gas service would likely be out and you would not able to boil water on the cook top. With this recent Lindon City water problem as a reminder we want to review some plans for – Emergency Water Storage

The most recent message from the First Presidency says, “Store drinking water for circumstances in which the water supply may be polluted or disrupted.” The minimum recommendation in the past has been to store 1 gallon per person per day for 14 days. This is just enough water to survive but not enough for things like washing dishes, sanitation, showering, laundry, pets, etc. The average American uses more that 50 gallons of water a day. We have put together a list of some ideas we have tried and some suggestions from water treatment experts.

1. The first thing you will probably need is an easy and simple source of clean drinking water. Cases of bottled water from the grocery store are our first suggestion. Rotate and use them so that they are not more than a year old.

2. Large barrels made of thick polyethylene plastic approved for water storage are readily available. We use 55 and 30 gallon barrels for most of our water storage. We use 5 gallon jugs that are easy to move around for cooking and hand washing. The siphon tubes work better than the hand pumps for removing water from 55 gallon barrels. Remember to use white RV hoses and not garden hoses that may be contaminated for filling the barrels. Store water in a cool, dark and dry location. Plastic water containers placed on concrete may take on a concrete taste over time. Place your water on wood and away from substances like kerosene and pesticides.

3. Supplies of paper plates, cups, utensils, napkins and garbage bags will save a lot of water and will simplify meals in an emergency.

4. Your home has other sources of water – water heater, water lines, toilet tanks (not bowls) beverages, canned fruits in water or juice, and ice. Swimming pools can be used for hygiene purposes but may have chemicals in the water that could be harmful for drinking.

Emergency Water Treatment
When the home water supply is interrupted by a disaster there are several possible dangers in the water.

Protozoa are the largest pathogens in drinking water. The two most common are Giardia lambria (Giardia) and Cryptosporidium (Crypto). They range in size from 2-15 microns but can squeeze through smaller openings. Filters with an absolute pore size of 1 micron should be used.

Medium sized Bacteria are responsible for many diseases such as typhoid fever, cholera, diarrhea, and dysentery. Pathogenic bacteria range in size form 0.2 to 0.6 microns. A 0.2 micron filter is necessary to prevent transmission.

Viruses are the smallest pathogens and range in size from 0.02 to 0.03 microns and are too small to be filtered out by a mechanical filter.

Chemicals like heavy metals, salts, fuels, and other pollutants can also be a danger in the water.

1. Clarify or filter dirty water to remove floating or suspended particles before disinfecting. Filter by pouring water through coffee filters, paper towels, or cloth. Filter bags or socks are available that will filter down to 1 micron. These bags will filter thousands of gallons of water.

2. Boiling is recognized as the safest method to purify and disinfect water of all pathogens. Most experts feel that if the water reaches a rolling boil it is safe. Some still hold out for maintaining the boiling for some length of time, 1- 10 minutes. Boiling does not remove contaminates such as heavy metals, salts, and most chemicals.

3. Chlorine Bleach such as ordinary household bleach (Clorox) must have 5.25% or 6% sodium hypochlorite and contain no soap, scents, colorings, or phosphates. Bleach is unstable and starts to diminish in strength after 6 months and can lose half of its strength after one year. Normal dosage is 8 drops (0.4ml) per gallon in clear water and 16 drops per gallon in cloudy water. Stir and allow the treated water to sit for 30 minutes, if there isn’t a slight chlorine smell, retreat.

4. Iodine emerged as a water purifier after WWII. Iodine was found to be in many ways superior to chlorine in treating small batches of water. Long term exposure to low levels of iodine has been proven safe. Nevertheless, experts are reluctant to recommend iodine for long term use. Iodine is normally used in doses of 8 ppm to treat clear water for a 10 minute contact time. Cloudy water needs twice as much iodine or twice as much contact time. If no instructions are provided on the container, use 12 drops per gallon of water. Mix well and allow the water to stand 30minutes. Water treated with iodine can have a bad taste removed by treating the water with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) after the water has stood for the correct treatment time.

5. Mechanical filters - Small portable camping filters like the Katadyn or MSR only screen out particles down to a certain size. Larger gravity filter devices like the Big Berkey or Aqua Rain use carbon filters. Know the limitations of the individual filter. These might need to be combined with a chlorine treatment to kill the small viruses.

6. Distillation, pasteurization, chlorine crystals, Polar Pure, solar/UV light, and stabilized oxygen are a few other less common ways to treat water.

We will be sending out an additional email with information on purchasing water barrels, siphon hoses, filter socks and other water treatment supplies.

Next Week’s Lesson #13 The Priesthood

PEARS for CANNING
The Stake Provident Living Specialist, Julie Bryner, sent me the following information about purchasing pears for canning.
If you are interested in purchasing pears please give your money to Karen Smith by July 15th. The pears are $24 a box.
Here are a few particulars, first, on the pears:
---They are Bartlett Pears----awesome for canning!
---They are guaranteed to be 2 1/4" to 3" in diameter.
---They are 'field picked' so they may have a few small blemishes that are easily peeled off, and don't affect the flavor. (We didn't notice any such blemishes last year!)
---They will be picked during the last 2 weeks of August and the first week of September, and kept in a cooler until we get them. (Last year, we had plenty of time ---10-14 days ---to get around to canning them.)
Due to the likelihood of a smaller crop this year, we're going to open this order up early and get it turned in as soon as possible. Here's how it will work:
--- The order deadline is August 1, 2010----although we will accept modifications up to 2 days prior to delivery.
---Delivery will be the last 2 weeks of September---we will email with specific dates later.
---These will be 40-44 lb boxes. (Last year we got 36 lb boxes)
---They will be $24 per box. (That's about 55¢ per lb!)
---If your group puts together a minimum order of 50 boxes, we will deliver pears to your home (or designated area of your choice)--as long as you're within 10-15 minutes off of I-15.
---If you'd like to do a group order but don't think you can quite make the minimum, please call us, we'll try to group you with others in your area.

SORRY...IT MAY TAKE A BIT LONGER THAN WE THOUGHT

Dear Lindon Home Storage Center, Dry Pack Patrons,

Yesterday, as the final inspection of the Dry-Pack Processing Room maintenance was done, we found a few more problems that need to be taken care of…

It looks like we jumped the gun (and the lake, AND the tall-building-in-a-single-bound) by announcing the processing room’s re-opening as March 4th.

Please call 801-785-0997 and talk to us or listen to our phone greeting to be sure when the Lindon Home Storage Center’s (Dry Pack) processing room will re-open.

Thank you for your patience. We hope our enthusiasm to get back to work, therefore jumping the gun and announcing an opening date that isn’t going to happen, will not cause any problems for you!

We are open for bulk sales and canner check-in/check-out.

Elder Mark Anderson, Manager

Who Still Wants Salsa?

Dear Family Canners:

It is obvious that we needed to have more days for Salsa because there are so many still wanting to be scheduled. We think we found a way to make this happen. (Read slowly because this is quite creative and it may take some real thinking to understand…)

On March 12th we are still needing people to fill the afternoon shifts from 12:00 noon – 6:00 p.m. This is the last day we have scheduled for spaghetti sauce. We also need help on the clean-up shifts for each day we are doing spaghetti sauce. We anticipate finishing the spaghetti sauce early on the 12th and will be able to switch over and begin producing salsa on the same day. If you schedule to buy salsa, you will be working for Salsa regardless of which product you actually produce.

To schedule for salsa, please check your schedule and see if you can come to any of the following shifts:

12:00, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, and 5:00 Processing Shifts: March 12 (Friday)

6:00 p.m. Clean-up shifts: March 9, 10, 11, 12 (Tuesday-Friday)

If you are scheduled for Salsa on any of these days, you will not be able to pick up your product until the final day of Salsa production on Thursday, March 18th. You can also pick up Salsa when you come for shifts you have scheduled for Jam or Syrup.

NO ONE CAN PICK UP ANY PRODUCT ON FRIDAY, MARCH 19TH BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR MONTH END ACCOUNTING FOR THE CANNERY ON THAT DAY.

Please call the Cannery at 801-785-0998 if you would like to schedule any of the above mentioned shifts. Be sure to indicate that you are scheduling for Salsa. If you want to schedule for both Salsa and Spaghetti Sauce, you will need to work two shifts. Remember that until you have spoken with someone at the Cannery, you are not scheduled. We will do our best to return messages, but do not guarantee that we will be able to do so. Please continue to call until you reach us. We will let you know through another email (sorry) when these shifts are full.

We still have limited room left in all of the spring family canning products. You can register for those at the same time.

Sisters – If any one would be willing to help out with Freezer Meals there will be recipes and a pan to freeze them in on the table by the door in the Relief Society Room.


The Stake will be holding a teacher training meeting on Sunday February 21st at 6:00 PM at the Stake Center in the Chapel.  This brief session will highlight insights on effective gospel teaching from Elder Holland.  We will be instructed by brother Troy Brown, who is a noted speaker and CES educator.  If you have occasion to teach as part of your calling, then this meeting is for you.  This is for all auxiliaries including Sunday School, Primary, YM/YW, Priesthood, and Relief Society.  Take advantage of this great
opportunity to learn key principles that will help you be a more confident and effective teacher.

******HUMANITARIAN NEWS*******
 
The Church is requesting that we donate money now for Haiti's recovery. Mark Haiti under Humanitarian Aid on your donation slip. 
 
On the Church website, under Current Humanitarian Needs, the only items specifically requested at this time are double-sized quilts  (90" x 90"). The Humanitarian Committee has committed the Lindon Ward Relief Society to doing 5 quilts in the upcoming months. (This would also be a great Eagle project or family project.) We may add more quilts to our goal as we go along!
 
We also decided that we would do projects this year that include all of you sisters.  In addition to the 5 quilts, we have also decided to collect newborn, hygiene, and school kit items as an ongoing project throughout the year. A recent Church News stated that members could also help Haiti by donating to DI (clothes we assume) and completing Humanitarian Kits.
 
Individual kit items (or kits completed in your family or by yourself) may be brought to church and given to one of the committee members, or dropped off during the week at the home of Marta Dorner, Marta Valdizan, or Mary Jane Johnson. Kits will then be assembled in late fall. 

Please refer to the Relief Society Notebooks for hand-outs, sign-up sheets, and more information about these projects.

Fold the handout and keep it in your purse, scriptures,  manual, or on your bulletin board as a reminder of the items needed for the RS kits and quilts. Thanks again for all your help. We hope you want to be involved in these projects!
                        WE HAVE SO MUCH--PLEASE SHARE A LITTLE!

FAMILY CANNING UPDATE

Dear Family Canners:

We still have shifts available for Spaghetti Sauce, Salsa, Jam and Syrup. In order to fill the shifts in a timely manner, we will take phone registrations beginning 8:00 a.m., Wednesday, February 17th until they are full. Second shifts are open for those who are already scheduled and would like more product. Most of the available shifts are between 11:00 am – 6:00 pm. We also need three people on each day beginning at 7:00 am to help lift 40 pound bags of ingredients. This shift will still be for 2-1/2 hours.

We have inserted a “Phone Registration” form (see below) so you can determine your availability and budget before you call. Planning ahead will help us keep the phone lines open for other callers. BEFORE YOU CALL, please print out this email to record your shifts as we schedule you.

We are limited to one incoming phone line—(the main reason we don’t normally schedule by phone)—so please be patient and try again if you are sent to voice mail. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to return messages, but we will do our best. Until you have spoken with someone from the Cannery to verify a shift, you are not scheduled to come.


PHONE REGISTRATION - SPRING 2010 FAMILY CANNING
LINDON CANNERY, 940 W Center, Lindon, UT 84042 - 785-0998

THINGS TO REMEMBER:

1. If you are not able to fill your shift, please call to cancel as soon as you are aware of your conflict OR at least 24 hours in advance so that others can take your place. In case of a real emergency, please call as soon as possible, even if it is after the fact. We are tracking the names of those who do not call to cancel. They will be limited in the products they are able to buy. **(see No Show Policy below)**

2. The "shift starting time" is when you should be ready to work, NOT WHEN YOU SHOULD ARRIVE. Please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes before your shift to have time to pay for your product. Shifts will close at 15 minutes past the hour. This is necessary to keep production running in a timely manner.

3. We accept CHECKS (preferred) or CASH ($1, $5, $10, $20). Please NO LARGE BILLS, DEBIT OR CREDIT CARDS.

4. Under federal law, no one under 16 years of age may participate in wet-pack cannery production.

If you have occasion to teach as part of your calling, then this meeting is for you. This is for all auxiliaries including Sunday School, Primary, YM/YW, Priesthood, and Relief Society. Take advantage of this great opportunity to learn key principles that will help you be a more confident and effective teacher.

*******HUMANITARIAN NEWS*******
The Church is requesting that we donate money now for Haiti's recovery. Write"Haiti" under Humanitarian Aid on your donation slip.

On the Church website, under Current Humanitarian Needs, the only items specifically requested at this time are double-sized quilts (90" x 90"). The Humanitarian Committee has committed the Lindon Ward Relief Society to doing 5 quilts in the upcoming months. (This would also be a great Eagle project or family project.) We may add more quilts to our goal as we go along!

We also decided that we would do projects this year that include all of you sisters. In addition to the 5 quilts, we have also decided to collect newborn, hygiene, and school kit items as an ongoing project throughout the year. A recent Church News stated that members could also help Haiti by donating to DI (clothes we assume) and completing Humanitarian Kits.

Individual kit items (or kits completed in your family or by yourself) may be brought to church and given to one of the committee members, or dropped off during the week at the home of Marta Dorner, Marta Valdizan, or Mary Jane Johnson. Kits will then be assembled in late fall. Please refer to the Relief Society Notebooks for hand-outs, sign-up sheets, and more information about these projects.

WE HAVE SO MUCH--PLEASE SHARE A LITTLE!

FAMILY CANNING & DRY PACK UPDATE...GOOD READ!

Two things to note about the current Family Canning Schedule:

1) For spaghetti sauce, we have had to switch from a 25 oz. jar to a quart size, 32 oz. jar. This will raise the price per case to $24.00. HOWEVER…this drops the price per ounce from .07 cents to .06 cents. So…you are saving money—but you might have to make a little more spaghetti or have bread sticks to dip with your spaghetti dinner! Leftovers! YUM!!! You could always use the left over sauce in a homemade soup or make pizza another night. We must always look at the positive!! We also found out that you can re-use the jam jars and this new spaghetti sauce jar for canning as long as you use it ONLY for water bath and NOT for pressure canning. The both jars will now come with a ring and lid.

2) If you are planning to schedule family canning, please do it right away. Forms continue to trickle in but we are needing to finalize the schedule as quickly as possible. You are free to forward the form to anyone who is interested, but please let them know how quickly we want to hear from them. If there are those who are still having trouble getting the form printed through Adobe, once you have downloaded the free copy of Adobe Reader from Adobe.com, please call us at 801-785-0998 and we will try and help you or you can come by the Cannery to pick up a copy.


*********** DRY PACK UPDATE*************
In late December, the Lindon Home Storage Center (Dry Pack) requested the information about price changes happening on January 16th be sent to our distribution list. It was amazing to see the effects this had. Brother Anderson, Manager of the Lindon Home Storage Center, has now asked that we share the following with you:

Lindon Home Storage Center (Dry-Pack) update. For Dry Pack questions call: 801-785-0997
· Powdered Milk

On January 16th the price of powdered milk rose $10.60 per 25# bag, from $24.80 to its current price of $35.40. As noted on the Family Home Storage Center price sheet (found on-line at www.providentliving.org), prices are subject to change without notice. The $24.80 price was in effect for almost seven months prior to the increase.

As soon as we were notified of the price increase in early December, I sent out a notice via the great sisters in the Wet-Pack Cannery Office. The results were interesting:
o In November 2009, our patrons canned just under 800 #10 cans of milk.
o In December, they canned just under 700 #10 cans of milk (remember that we were closed for ~the last two weeks in December.)
o In the first two weeks of January — before the price change on the 16th — just under 2,500 #10 cans were processed.
o On Thursday, January 14th, there was so much demand that we literally ran out of product fairly early in the day. It should be noted that if the demand had peaked in the weeks before, we could have replenished the milk to meet the demands since we order each week for the following week. But, by the last week, it was too late to order more.
o Note: the canning stats above do not include the thousands of pounds that were purchased in bulk during this time.
o The parallel to the parable of the 10 virgins came to my mind after all the (milk) dust settled… Those who waited until the last minute lost the benefit of the better price.
o Please note that the price of our powdered milk is still excellent considering that ~two years ago the price was over $70 per bag!

· Potato Flakes

A new opportunity has now presented itself. With the new price changes, potato flakes (NOT potato pearls!) have dropped from $30.20 per 25 lb. box to $22.20, a decrease of $8 per box.

Potato Flakes are only dried potatoes. Their shelf life, when properly canned and stored under ideal conditions (as noted on the order form), will be 30 years. You can make them taste just as good as potato pearls by adding salt, butter and milk.

We recommend that you plan early to increase your own home storage inventory and take advantage of the lower price of this and other items.

Other items to take note of are:
· White Rice: Price dropped $1.90 (11.1%) per 25# box to $$8.45
· Black Beans: Price dropped $1.85 (4.1%) per 25# bag to $14.50
· Spaghetti: Price dropped $1.70 (7.4%) per 25# box to $14.55
· White Beans: Price dropped $1.65 (7.6%) per 25# bag to $14.10

· Pre Packs

As you were informed earlier, the prices of our pre-packed items are no longer the same price as the do-it-yourself cans of equal quantity. They are slightly higher, ranging from 11 cents to 23 cents per can higher depending on the product. This is still a great buy if you want to save time in securing these products for your home storage. You can buy these pre-packs directly off the shelf.

New Pre-Pack Items: Starting sometime after the 1st of April, we will be offering two additional pre-pack items:
· White Wheat
· White Flour

Pricing and availability will be forwarded to you as soon as we are notified. This information, as always, will also be posted when the time comes on the Home Storage Center Order Form at www.providentliving.org.

We strongly suggest that the counsel of the Brethren be followed and that you build up your home storage items by:
· First securing your 3 months supply of those items your family eats every day.
· Then slowly build up your long-term food storage.
o You don’t have to do it all at once! But keep at it!
o We have some very excellent and EASY instructions to help you determine what you will need for a year’s supply of food for your family. Come in and talk to one of our excellent missionary staff! They are all willing and anxious to assist you.

The Lindon Home Storage Center is open on a walk-in, first-come/first-serve basis on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Price and product information is located on www.providentliving.org. (Make sure to use .org extension since there is a .net website with the same name.) You are looking for the Home Storage Center Order Form link on this website. It is an interactive form where you can plan your expenditure by entering order amounts and seeing the total amount you will spend. After you complete the order form, print it off and bring it with you to expedite the check-in process at the Home Storage Center. Do not fill out your check prior to arriving at the Center just in case they are out of any of the products you planned to order.

One last note: Remember that it isn’t enough just to buy food stuffs in bulk and store them, as-purchased, without preparing them to last long-term.

I talked with a patron a few months ago who wanted to buy 2,000 lbs of White Wheat. When I asked how she planned to store it, she said she had no idea what I meant. She felt that all that was needed to be prepared was to buy it in bulk. No thought was given to safe and secure storing procedures. Don’t get caught with a lot of food storage that may be at risk because of improper storage preparations.

We love serving you!
Y’all come in and see us! Hear?

Elder Anderson, Manager
Lindon Home Storage Center

2010 SPRING FAMILY CANNING INSTRUCTIONS & REGISTRATION


Remember:


  • We will not be accepting completed order forms until Monday, February 8th. We will be in the office at 8:00 a.m.

  • You are responsible for all information listed on the registration form. Please read it carefully.

  • You may not change the indicated order amounts once you have sent in your form.

  • We cannot schedule you while you wait.

  • You cannot register by email or fax.

  • Please remember to bring/send a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your registration so we can return a confirmation form to you.

  • Do not use a red pen or pencil to fill out your form.

  • Try to schedule the maximum cases per person and share an order rather than having everyone “in the family/group” come and do one or two cases. This will allow us to schedule more people.

We don’t mean to sound rigid, but we will be scheduling over 2500 shifts in a very limited period of time. We need to finalize order amounts so we can secure all of the ingredients. By taking the weekend and making sure all your information is complete, you will help us expedite this process.

We are so excited to be up and running…and it will be great to see you all again.

IMPORTANT FAMILY CANNING INFORMATION & DATES

Dear Family Canners: (There is no schedule attached to this email…keep reading to the end.)

…A light at the end of a very looong tunnel? We sure hope so!

We know everyone is anticipating the next opportunity to do family canning and we have some good news! Along with the changes from construction and equipment updates, we are close to completing all of the requirements to become a licensed USDA facility. That means that within the year we should be able to can meat items for Family Canning. Finally, our empty storage shelves will once again be filled with meat!

Keep reading…this is important for you to understand:

Remember the “where much is given, much is required” principle? Here is the required part:
The USDA requires that any USDA meat item (see list below) produced here has to remain on the premises for 10 days of incubation before it can be sold. Therefore, no one will be able to come, process and take home product on the same day--if it is a USDA meat item. There will be specific “Pick-Up Days” for the product you have already worked for. That means two trips for everyone—even those who live far away. NO EXCEPTIONS.

This puts the choice back in your hands. Since we cannot change the USDA requirements, each person will need to decide if making two trips is worth having the product. So the choice is: coming to the Lindon Cannery and abiding by the rules or getting your canned meat items from your local stores.

Keep reading…there is a good side to all of this:

There could be good news within all these new regulations. At least with the USDA products, we will be able to determine what is “extra” (product that isn’t spoken for). Then you would be able to purchase additional cases when you come on “pick-up days” (your second trip to the Cannery). Therefore, those who helped can the product would have first access to it.
Overage from production on items that are not USDA (see list below) would still be offered at an Overage Sale along with any leftover USDA items.

Keep reading…there is more to understand:

Remember, we also have the requirement for non-USDA production. All these products must remain at the Cannery until the following day to allow for final paperwork to be completed. That means that everyone who schedules a shift on the first day of production will need to come back at the end of that item’s production to pick up their order. Hopefully, those who live close to the Cannery will try to schedule the first day of a product to help those who live further away. We still need a full day of production on the first day, so someone has to be here.

So…now it comes down to recognizing the “where much is given” side:

We are very blessed to be able to do Family Canning. This opportunity isn’t available to the majority of the members of the church. The “hassle” comes down to the attitude of recognizing where much has been given. The Church has invested considerable time and expense to upgrade the Cannery’s equipment and USDA status. It blesses the Church to have more facilities to produce welfare items for the church, but it also blesses those who can participate in Family Canning.

Keep reading…the reward for staying with us to the end:

We will be sending out the next Family Canning schedule on Friday, February 5th in the late afternoon. The entire process of becoming UDSA approved is still not completed, so there will be no meat products on the spring schedule. We are planning to have another Family Canning Schedule go out for May/June canning, and then a third one for November/December canning. We are looking more toward the November/December Family canning schedule before everything will be in place to do the meat.

The list below gives you an idea of where the Lindon Cannery products stand in the FDA/USDA guidelines we must follow:


NON USDA – 1 day waiting period
Applesauce
Chicken Noodle Soup
Cream of Mushroom Soup
Diced Tomatoes
Frozen Berries
Jams
Pork & Beans
Potatoes
Salsa
Spaghetti Sauce
Tomato Soup
Vegetable Beef Soup

USDA – 10 day waiting period
Beef Stew
Chicken, Beef, & Pork Chunks
Chili
Cream of Chicken Soup
Ground Beef
