Local Goodie Writes Book! Emily Buehler, a Weaver Street Market bread baker for over five years, has written and published the complete how-to guide to bread baking. Bread Science: the Chemistry and Craft of Making Bread, available now, covers both the practical aspects of making bread, such as shaping a baguette and scoring loaves as they enter the oven, and the science behind the dough. Emily was one of the driving forces behind the creation of our very popular bread classes cosponsored by the Carrboro Artscenter, as well as WSM's Bread Bakery Open Houses and Community Oven Nights. She wrote a manual for the bread-making class but had trouble finding sources for the information she needed. More |

| Local Goodie Writes Book continued | |
Since most bread books focus on recipes, they have little room to include details of the process. In addition, she was unhappy with the sources she found on baking science. She decided to write a book devoted entirely to the process of bread-making, bringing together all the information in one source. She hoped to encourage beginners to try making bread and to make the process approachable and fun.
On the decision to self-publish, Emily says, "I feared it would take forever to get a publisher to notice me—doing it myself seemed like the best way to get noticed. But now that I have begun the process, I'm not sure I even want a publisher anymore. I've enjoyed having control over the look of my book, having friends help out with it, and it seems to fit with the locally-produced ideal I've come to value."
Emily's enthusiasm and energy have led her to take a PhD in chemistry, ride her bike across the country and create a comic strip based of the fanciful character of Poolish girl and her adventures in the bread world. (You'll have to read the book to find out what poolish is.) |

| Alliance for Community Economics | |||
 Working to Build a Living EconomyOver the last several months, a group of business people, academics, and economic development folks in Chapel Hill and Durham have worked together to create the beginnings of the organization called the Alliance for Community Economics (ACE). The Alliance for Community Economics believes that locally owned businesses are a major source of sustainable prosperity for communities, especially when they produce or distribute essential goods that would otherwise have to be imported from outside the region--e.g. energy, food, shelter, clothing, capital, and information. ACE is based on the ideas and principles developed by a national organization, the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE). As part of their start up ACE is sponsoring a visit by Michael Shuman, a co-founder of BALLE, who will be spending 2 days in Durham and Chapel Hill, promoting the ideas in his recently published book, The Small Mart Revolution: How Local Businesses are Beating the Global Competition, which follows his 1998 book, Going Local: Creating Self-Reliant Communities. During his time here, Michael Shuman will be meeting with local community development leaders, featured on WUNC's State of Things radio program, and give two talks open to the public at the Duke Nasher Museum of Art auditorium on September 27th and in Chapel Hill (on the UNC campus) on September 28th. | |||
