Al’s Sporting Goods expands with purchase of chain in Montana, plans new stores in St. George and Boise - The Herald Journal

Al’s Sporting Goods, a Logan-based company, has expanded into Montana with the purchases of a sporting goods chain there. It also is planning new stores in St. George and Boise.

Al’s Sporting Goods, a Logan-based company, has expanded into Montana with the purchases of a sporting goods chain there. It also is planning new stores in St. George and Boise.
Al’s Sporting Goods, which started 101 years ago with a store in Logan, will have 10 stores in three states once two additional locations open early next year in St. George and Boise, Idaho.
The company also recently purchased five stores in Montana.
The Montana purchase was of Bob Ward’s, also a century-old sporting goods shop, with locations in Bozeman, Butte, Hamilton, Helena and Missoula, according to Kris Larsen, CEO of Al’s Sporting Goods. He said the stores, at least for the time being, will continue to operate under their original name but remodeling will take place to appear more like Al’s.


“We’ve known the family for decades,” Larsen said. “They are a very highly respected, family-owned sporting goods operation in Montana.”
The future Al’s stores in St. George and Boise will open early next year in existing buildings — in about March or April at the former home of a Sears store at the Red Cliff Mall, and in about May for Boise at a former Sports Authority location. Both buildings will receive extensive remodeling for the Al’s brand.
Of the St. George store, Larsen said: “That building will be bigger than our Logan store. It’s a big, big store.”
The company also formerly opened stores in Orem and Idaho Falls. With the recent Montana purchases and the two slated in southern Utah and Idaho, Al’s store count will be 10, but who knows what the future will hold.
More stores are always a possibility: “The sporting goods business is alive and well,” Larsen said.
Al’s Sporting Goods started in 1921 by Larsen’s grandfather, Alvin Larsen, who opened a bicycle repair and angling shop in downtown Logan. Over the years, it expanded and moved to several locations in the area and currently is located at 1075 N. Main St.
Larsen said the success of the company is because of its employees.
“We’ve got an unbelievable staff. We attribute our growth and success to our excellent employees and managers,” he said. “We’ve got one of the best buying teams in America.”
It is no wonder, Larsen said, giving a nod to the people of his hometown.
“One of the things we have found with the expansion and hiring of new people is that there are no better people than in Cache Valley,” he said.

Parma’s Schnitz Ale Brewery opens new patio, eyes product expansion in Northeast Ohio: Photos - cleveland.com

Parma’s Schnitz Ale Brewery, located at 5729 Pearl Road, recently opened a new patio.
PARMA, Ohio -- After opening up for business last November, Schnitz Ale Brewery recently unveiled its 1,200-square-foot patio that includes a dozen four-seat tables.
Schnitz Ale Brewery Operations Manager Igor Djurin said even though the project was delayed, it was well worth the wait.
“Obviously, the summertime in Cleveland is so limited, so we wanted to make sure we had a space for people to enjoy the sun,” Djurin said.
“This is still only the first phase. By spring of next year, we’re looking to do an overhead awning and add an additional fireplace to the patio.
“It’ll be a very traditional-style beer garden with cushioned seats. We’re looking to do some entertainment in the future, acoustic music.”
As for the 9,000-square-foot restaurant and brewery, which has ties to Djurin’s family-owned and operated Das Schnitzel Haus located directly across the street, the venue is in the process of expanding.
Currently offering a dozen taps, the owner said the number will soon be increasing to 20 craft beers.
“We have a company lined up to help us expand our tap room,” Djurin said. “About 80 percent of our beers are German style, from Kolsch to lagers to pilsners to hefeweizens. We have some IPAs as well.
“We do throw in some seasonals. We also brewed a pumpkin ale that will be coming out at the beginning of September. We also do Christmas ales.”
There’s also a new production facility in Schnitz Ale Brewery’s future. The owner said they just purchased a Progress Drive property in Strongsville.
While the Parma venue’s product is currently available in roughly a dozen area stores, the plan is for the new 20-barrel system to allow for Schnitz Ale Brewery beers to be sold in early 2023 throughout Northeast Ohio and beyond.
So far, Djurin said Parma’s first microbrewery has been a success.
“The reception has been absolutely wonderful,” Djurin said. “It’s a nice place for the whole community to come in and enjoy fresh beer made in-house right here in Parma.”

Gaining Steam: Hands-On with the Mondaine evo2 SBB Automatic - Watchtime.com

Since August 2021, Mondaine has been offering a mechanical version in its evo watch collection, using the unmistakable design of the famous “Official Swiss Railways Clock.” We took the evo2 SBB Automatic on a quick train ride.
Like any railway company, the 1902-founded Swiss Federal Railways (often referred to by the initials of its German, French and Italian names SBB, CFF, FFS), too, knew about the significance of coordinated precision timing early on, in order to build and safely operate what should eventually become the densest rail network in Europe. Today, the Swiss travel more by train than any other nation in the world, clocking up an average of 2,400 km per person every year within the country’s boarder. Switzerland is also home to the highest railway station in Europe (at 3,454 meters), the longest railway tunnel in the world (measuring 57 km long), 5,200 km of railway lines, a 21,500-km public transport network and 1,000 km of mountain railways. In other words, the Swiss indeed take punctuality quite seriously, and that’s not just because of the many watches that are being made there.
In the 1940s, the fully state-owned railway company began with the introduction of synchronized station clocks. Because trains in Switzerland always leave the station on the full minute (railway timetables therefore do not list or require seconds), each clock received an electrical impulse through the telephone line from the central master clock at each full minute, resulting in the synchronized advancement of the minute hand each minute. These clocks were designed by Hans Hilfiker (1901 – 1993), a Swiss engineer and SBB employee, and produced by W. Moser-Baer in Sumiswald in the canton of Bern. Hilfiker had already designed a clock for the train station in Zurich in 1932, and worked on a prototype version with second hand as early as 1943. It would, however, take another couple of years for the red second hand, designed after the shape of the conductor’s baton used by train and station staff (thus nicknamed the rote Kelle or red signal), to become a standard feature of the very design that has now officially been in use since the 1950s.
On the original clocks, the second hand is driven by a motor independent of the master clock and requires only about 58.5 seconds to complete the rotation, then the hand pauses briefly at the top of the clock. It starts a new rotation as soon as it receives the next minute impulse from the master clock. The SBB clock was not Hilfiker’s only contribution to modern living in Switzerland. He had also developed the concept of the fitted kitchen and was responsible for the standard Swiss dimensions for kitchen components. With the red second hand, however, he most likely had the biggest impact on the nation’s collective appreciation for punctuality, having created an extremely effective signalization design, and one of the most recognizable and known watch designs in the history of Swiss timekeeping (there are currently 798 train stations in Switzerland). Commuters simply have to look at the red second hand in order to know how much time is left to catch the train (or to learn the train had already left the station). Unsurprisingly, this design has also been recognized by various museums around the world and has won several awards (and was briefly used by Apple, which had used the design without permission for its mobile operating system iOS6, released in September 2012, which resulted in a patent dispute with the Swiss railways that got settled in October 2012 for a widely reported but unofficial sum of several millions).
Swiss watch brand Mondaine has been licensed to make wall clocks, desk models and wristwatches based on the design since 1986. Not surprisingly, the watch immediately became one of the key products of the family-owned company. Mondaine board member André Bernheim says, “The iconic, unmistakable and minimalist design of the SBB clock at the train stations has remained unchanged since 1944. It has been produced by us based on the original plans from that time and has been a central pillar for the Mondaine brand since 1986. The collection today offers a wide range from wall clocks to table clocks and wristwatches, with a choice of different case shapes, purist, slightly rounded, thin and even cases made of sustainable materials such as castor oil. We also offer a choice of various functions such as our patented backlight, stop2go, and different movements, allowing us to appeal to a wide audience with a consistent design.” Now, the Swiss watch brand finally brings back a version powered by a mechanical movement (the Sellita SW 200-1). Bernheim adds, “We have had mechanical watches in our Mondaine range for around 20 years [in 2012, for example, Mondaine introduced the first hand-wound mechanical railway watch (ETA 2801-2) as a limited edition of 400 pieces]. We have now developed a few additional models that we can offer at a significantly lower price, Swiss Made, with a steel case in 316L and sapphire crystal.” And he also mentions another reason for the mechanical option, “Sustainability has been a central concern for us for decades, and now that we are probably the first watch company in the world to be completely CO2-neutral, automatic movements obviously reflect perfectly both our strategy as well as the Zeitgeist, which is another reason why we are expanding our range of automatic watches.”

The latest mechanical version of the watch is part of the evo2 collection, described by Mondaine to feature “subtle and respectful design enhancements in keeping with Mondaine’s vanguard reputation.” The case has indeed become more organic, with rounder curves that reach around the case folding into the transparent caseback. The case lugs have also been slightly refined and the crown modified to increase its functionality, resulting in an overall more balanced look. Mondaine offers two case sizes, the 40-mm version shown here with red (Ref. MSE.40610.LC) or black leather strap (Ref. MSE.40610.LB), and a 35-mm version with black leather strap (Ref. MSE.35610.LB). Alternatively, both case sizes can be purchased with a mesh bracelet instead (Ref. MSE.40610.SM in 40 mm, Ref. MSE.35610.SM in 35 mm). The watches are assembled in Mondaine’s factory in Solothurn, Switzerland, and every watch is tested for water resistance up to 30 meters and comes with a 2-year international warranty.
From a design point of view, the dial design uses red, white and black colors, in itself already synonymous with Switzerland, and as a wristwatch with a mechanical movement, the watch also brings together the country’s watch industry and national train system, both undoubtedly a symbol of pride for most Swiss people. Not surprisingly, dial legibility is excellent. In this case, Mondaine decided to not cover the black hands, minute markers and indexes with luminous material (the company uses in some watches a concept called “Backlight Technology” using extra-strong Super-LumiNova material, which is painted on the back side of the watch hands), which will leave people traveling on a night train literally in the dark. On the other hand, Mondaine has managed to offer the watch at an extremely attractive price, making it quite a unique offer, given the significance of its design (especially since the Tissot Heritage Memphis comes exclusively with a quartz movement).
The Mondaine evo2 Automatic costs about as much as two months’ unrestricted access to the Swiss railway network (in second or standard class), but will obviously be a travel companion for a much longer time. The Sellita SW200-1 certainly won’t add much of a novelty factor to a watch collection, but continues to be a reliable engine. Since the design originated as a non-mechanical concept, and the Sellita SW200-1 obviously cannot replicate the quintessential pause of the second hand at 12 o’clock, one of the central elements of the clocks is missing, but fans of mechanical watches finally have another option to wear a lot of Swissness on the wrist. Bernheim concludes, “We have created this watch for people that value traditional watchmaking, are passionate about mechanical movements, timeless design and long-lasting, sustainable products — and at a very competitive price for a Swiss Made watch.”

A new kind of wood-based plastic could enable circular home ... - Science Daily

Plastics used in home furnishings and constructions materials could be replaced with a new kind of wood-based degradable plastic with semi-structural strength. Unlike thermoplastic, the material can be broken down without harm to the environment, researchers in Sweden have reported.
One of the goals of renewable wood composite development is to make materials strong enough to replace fossil-based materials used in home construction and furnishing, such as bathroom cabinets, doors, wall-boards and countertops. And it needs to be sustainable, or circular.
"Degradability enables circularity," says Peter Olsén, a researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. "By degrading the plastic, the fibers can be recycled and the chemical components from the plastic reused."
High fiber content is the key to the strength of materials like fiberglass, but it's difficult to deliver a degradable wood composite without intensive heat damage from processes like melt-compounding.
Olsén and fellow researchers at KTH report that they've found a way to deliver both high fiber content and degradability.
"No one has been able to make a degradable plastic with fiber content this high before, while having good dispersion and low fiber damage," Olsén says. "This enabled the material properties to be improved dramatically compared to previous attempts."
In order to achieve higher fiber content, the researchers combined polymer chemistry with process technology similar to what is used for carbon fiber composites.
Everything is based on cheap and available raw materials, Olsén says. The degradation products are also harmless to the environment, and can be reused -- enabling what Olsén calls "a fully-circular product concept."
And it could actually save trees. "It invites recycling of wood fibers to enable reformation of the material," he says.
But in order to move on to commercialization, Olsén says the formula needs to be optimized. "The key to the work is that it shows a new way of how we can create degradable biocomposites with high fiber content," he says.
Their findings were reported recently in the scientific journal, Nature Communications.

8 Small Pantry Ideas to Free Up Space in Your Kitchen - Yahoo Life

Stay organized even in the smallest pantries with these smart tips to maximize space. Anthony Masterson Between cramped corners, poor lighting, and multiple people rummaging through contents daily, small pantries can be tricky to keep organized. If you’re working with a small or practically nonexistent pantry, it can feel downright impossible to make room for everything, let alone keep it tidy. Fortunately, there are plenty of small-pantry storage ideas. Between simple DIY projects and innovative solutions, we’ve rounded up ways to make the most of what you’ve got. Get inspired with the following small pantry organization ideas for your own home. When pantry space is at a premium, it’s important to be resourceful. Turn cabinet doors into extra storage with shallow shelves. They can be affixed to the inside so long as there’s clearance for the door to close. Dowel rods keep small items, such as spices and condiments, in their place. Arrange larger bags and boxes of snacks directly on the shelves of the cabinet. To optimize vertical space, especially if your small pantry lacks adjustable shelving, stack cans and containers whenever possible. Whether you’re working with a small closet or a bit of blank wall space, a customizable track system can do wonders to keep pantry goods organized. These closet systems can be installed by a professional or on your own if you're handy. Open shelves and pull-out drawers can be added and adjusted as your needs change. To optimize track shelving in a small pantry, decent ingredients into food-safe containers and incorporate a lazy Susan for condiments and risers to organize cans. Marie Flanigan Think outside the box, or even the room, when it comes to organizing a small pantry. While most food items belong in the kitchen, overflow can be stored off-site if necessary. Give new life to a closet in the mudroom, laundry room, hallway, or basement if it’s temperate. Store bulk buys, such as cans and bottles, for anything you need to replace in the main pantry on a regular basis. Laura Moss For tight spaces, a narrow pull-out cabinet can be a game-changer for pantry storage. Purchase standalone rolling units that fit the dimensions between gaps anywhere in the room, or install one as part of the cabinetry for a camouflaged look. On the slim shelves, line up cans of soup, boxes of pasta, and bags of snacks by category. Before heading to the grocery store, simply slide it open and do a quick scan of inventory. Everything should be clearly visible and yet hidden away when not in use. Anthony Masterson Deep cabinets might seem like an asset, and they do make sense as a spot to store pantry goods, providing plenty of room for bulky boxes of pasta and cereal along with big bags of chips. However, smaller items like cans and jars undoubtedly get lost in the mix. Prevent expired food by installing pull-out drawers either in lieu of shelves or directly above them. Roll the drawers out to see exactly what you have on hand without making a mess or winding up with food waste. James Schroder Even in a small walk-in pantry, decanting non-perishable goods is a smart move to save as much space as possible. Everything from pasta and cereal to rice and lentils and even crackers and chips can be stored in airtight canisters to get rid of bulky or awkward packaging. Use coordinating bins to house snacks, including individual grab-and-go items. Even pantry-friendly produce, such as potatoes and onions, can be sorted and kept in baskets. In addition to maximizing space, this method allows you to see and reach for anything you need with ease. Ed Gohlich If a pull-out pantry doesn't have enough space to fit your family’s needs, add some shelf storage nearby. Hang a handful of floating shelves to hold everyday items such as tea bags or the snacks that kids ask for regularly. Since they’ll be out in the open, consider decanting the items into matching jars or bins to keep visual clutter to a minimum. While you’re at it, follow this method for anything in the pantry. Airtight food containers not only keep things fresher longer, but they also help maximize space, especially if you can stack them. Edmund Barr This idea is ideal for temporary situations, such as if you’re renting or saving for a future kitchen renovation. A stylish stand-alone cabinet can serve as a perfectly hidden pantry. Find one with doors that fits your style, space, and stuff. You can even recycle and refinish a vintage find to keep storage personal and eco-friendly. Within the cabinet, sort your stuff by category to keep your small pantry organized. : Keep your household cleaners out of sight but always on hand. If you're ever been in the process of baking a pie, cake, or tart and been a few tablespoons of butter shy of what's needed, try these substitutes. When it comes to keeping things tidy, you can't go wrong with the best shoe organizer. Whether you live in a place where it snows most of the year, and you need to keep your boot collection in check, or you're someone who owns boxes and boxes of heels, rest assured that your stems are in good hands. From affordable shoe racks that hook onto the back of a door (freeing up your valuable floor space) to luxurious cabinets that fold out to reveal specialized compartments for your favorite pairs, these shoe organizers are nothing short of impressive. Baked salads, salads in which all of the ingredients are baked, are taking over TikTok. Here's what they are and how to make them. Spitting is important for brushing teeth and eating, but it takes years for kids to master the skill. "The View" co-host gets candid about her struggle with body image.
