Jerky Recipe
After 90 years, cowboy's still ready for adventure
A simple log cabin home surrounded by cedar trees and hayfields provided a perfect backdrop Sept. 23, 2006, as Merle and Ann Soffel Thompson hosted a 90th-birthday party for her dad & as well as a 68th-wedding anniversary for her parents, Bill and Vera Baker Soffel. A gorgeous Indian summer was making an early entrance that day in the small Tooele County town as 95 guests from throughout Utah, California, Nevada, Oregon and even Canada gathered in the Thompson's spacious front yard to enjoy a day of reminiscing, laughter and fun. In Tooele County, Bill is perhaps best known as being the one who created the great recipe for jerky now sold in Thompson's Smokehouse in Erda. A true old-fashioned cowboy & perhaps one of the last of a dying breed & Bill could teach younger generations what hard work is all about.

How to YouTube: a lesson in video
ARE YOU DYING to show the world how cute your dog looks in a pink T-shirt? Or maybe you'd love to film your 94-year-old World War II veteran uncle for the family. If you'd like to join the millions of Americans making videos and putting them up on YouTube, Revver and similar sites, here's the scoop. In the interests of helping readers learn to create and upload a video, I got a lesson at the Berkeley Digital Film Institute in late October. Institute founder Patrick Kriwanek gave me instructions in operating the camera and composing a video. Institute cameraman Mike Harris filmed the lesson, creating a how-to video. When the lesson ended, using my newly learned skills, I filmed an interview with Kriwanek. Then Harris and his fellow videographers Kate Maeder and Quinn Alvarez showed me how to edit and upload my video, which is now online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_TDxUgiPvQ.
