SARATOGA SPLASH

Saratoga Springs celebrates 20 years of Saratoga Splash KARISSA NEELY

Daily Herald

Saratoga Springs will be celebrating its 20th Saratoga Splash Days June 5-10 with a lot of water, games, animals and diapers. Yes, diapers. New to the city celebration this year is a Family Game Night, starting at 6 p.m. June 8 at Neptune Park. The slot used to be reserved for a family picnic time, but Splash Days coordinators realized that Monday night’s Chalk Walk always turned into a picnic night for families. “It seemed like overkill, holding two nights of picnics,” said AnnElise Harrison, civic events coordinator for Saratoga Springs.

This year’s Family Game Night encourages families instead to get up and get moving. The event will boast free games and activities, including an 80-person Twister, a family Tug-of-War and a family Hula Hoop Contest. Kids 12 and under will be able to participate in a bike rodeo and parade, where almost anything on non-motorized wheels will be welcomed, and prizes given for creative decorations. For the younger set – the really, really younger set – the night will feature a Diaper Derby. There will be two age groups: one for crawlers, and one for newbie walkers. Harrison said they are trying out the Diaper Derby event this year as a replacement to previous year’s

baby contests. She and her team already have a mat resembling a race track, with flags lining the raceway for the derby. “We wanted babies to still be involved, but we wanted to shake it up and do something different,” Harrison said. “We thought a baby race would be kind of fun.” She’s excited about the Family Game Night, but said she’s never sure how new events will fare. “We thought we’d tweak the family night to see if citizens would enjoy coming out and playing games. We try new things, give them a few times to see if they build momentum. If they don’t, we move on to something else,” she said. Because this is the celebration’s 20year anniversary, “everything is aug-

mented, bigger,” Harrison said. She’s very excited about the fireworks celebration June 9 because it will be a lot larger than before. There city will also light a large 2-0 that Friday evening. This is also the city’s first year contracting with the City of Fun Carnival, Harrison said. She is excited that piece of the celebration week will be bigger and better than before. To drum up excitement for this anniversary year, the Saratoga Springs Civic Events team is giving away daily prizes via their Facebook page for 20 days leading up to the event. Winners are chosen from those who share and like their page and earn one all-day pass to the City of Fun Carnival.

here is no fresher way to get your produce than picking it off a tree yourself. Many farms around the country offer the ability to do just that. This summer, take your family to a pick-your-own farm to find discounted fruits and enjoy an amazing experience.

Supporting your local farmers is a great way to ensure these farms will be around when your children are old enough to take their own families on this unique summer adventure.

OREM SUMMERFEST

Storytelling returns to Orem

With the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival moving further north, Orem’s Summerfest looks bring stories back to the city ALEX SOUSA

Correspondent

S

ince 1989, the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival has been an annual tradition in Orem. But, with the announcement last year that the festival would be moving north to Thanksgiving Point due to its growth and popularity, it seemed that an era had come to an end. Such a long-held and beloved tradition wasn’t one that Summerfest officials were keen to let slide away. Because Orem is still home to the offices of the Timpanogos Storytelling Institute, and

the heritage of the festival was so largely engrained in the fabric of the community, Summerfest will be introducing a night of stories to kick off its week of festivities. “The Storytelling Festival has been such an integral part of the community for so many years, having started here and being partnered with the city, we thought it would be nice to give a thank you to Orem and recognize the institute and the fact that storytelling is such part of the culture here,” said Wally Harkness, chair of the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival and Summerfest spokesman. “It really should be part of Summerfest.” The night of storytelling will take place the evening of Monday, June 5, featuring Kevin Kling, award-winning storyteller, author and playwright who has been a frequent guest of the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival over its last 27 years. Because of the contributions from

the event sponsors — doTerra and University Place — the event will be free to the public. “We really want to appeal to all residents of Orem,” Harkness said. “There are so many different people who make up this city that we want to have something that’s available to everyone. I think these storytelling concerts will be an integral part of Summerfest moving forward.” With the Summerfest committee looking to expand the footprint of the festival, a night of storytelling seemed a perfect fit because of the success previously seen with storytelling concerts in the community. “If you talked to any of the storytellers, they would say it’s a treat — a gift — to be invited to participate in the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival,” Harkness said. “And we’re glad to have Kevin back here to participate in Summerfest.”

While the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival was a marker of autumn for many Orem residents, Harkness looks forward to this new event helping to mark the beginning of Summer. With Orem’s festival heralded as the “official start of summer,” it’s only appropriate that such a long-standing institution of the city should kick off the growing list of activities available at Summerfest.

Mark Pope represents UVU as Grand Marshal ALEX SOUSA

ecognizing the recent accomplishments and growth of Utah Valley University, Orem officials chose the educational institution to be the Grand Marshal of this year’s Summerfest celebration, an honor that will be received by UVU’s head basketball coach, Mark Pope. “We chose Utah Valley University because of their 75th anniversary last year and the impact they’ve had on the community,” said Wally Harkness, chair and spokesman for Orem’s Summerfest. “Because of his accomplishments at the school, President Holland designated Mark Pope to represent UVU and be the recipient of the Grand Marshal award.” UVU has pushed growth in academics, arts, and of course athletics, becoming a force within the Western Athletic Conference. In just two seasons, Pope has coached the men’s basketball team through some of its most notable and important accomplishments. Under Pope, the UVU men’s basketball team defeated their cross-town rivals, Brigham Young University, winning the game with the most points ever scored by an opponent at BYU’s home court, the

Marriott Center. They also made waves within the WAC when they broke New Mexico State’s 39-home game winning streak, by defeating them on their home turf. Both accomplishments brought prestige and notoriety to the burgeoning program, being named one of the fastest teams in the country by the Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings, and setting a new school record by drawing in almost 40,000 fans throughout the 2016-17 season. “UVU is very excited that Coach Pope and his family have been asked to be a part of the Summerfest celebration,” said Vince Otoupal, director of UVU Athletics. “The Grand Marshall is an important post and we are confident that the Pope family will handle the responsibility well.” In the nearly 10 years since the school was named a university, UVU has become the largest public institution of higher education in the state, supporting almost 35,000 students each year. Founded as a trade school in 1941, UVU relocated to its current Orem location in 1977, and in the last 40 years it has grown into the largest employer in the city. With the leadership of President Matthew Holland, the school has expanded,

Most recently, UVU broke ground on an arts building, which has been positioned as a new local center for the arts and will include a concert hall, dance hall and proscenium theater. “UVU is an important institution within the community, and we’re happy to be honoring them at Summerfest,” said Harkness. Pope will be commemorated at a VIP dinner, hosted at UVU’s own Culinary Arts School, on Wednesday, June 7, where he’ll be joined by Summerfest’s Student Marshals and artist Nathan Pacheco.

The celebration will continue with the headlining event later that evening, a concert at Orem’s Scera Shell Outdoor Theatre featuring Pacheco and local band City of Enoch. There, along with the entertainment, Pope will be named as the Grand Marshal to the public. “During his time at UVU, Coach Pope has brought knowledge, enthusiasm and a new level of success in the classroom, on the court and in the community,” said Otoupal. “[He] represents UVU proudly, and UVU is proud to have Coach Pope as the Grand Marshall of the 2017 Summerfest celebration.”

ormally held on the last Saturday in July, Cooper’s Run has joined with Orem’s Summerfest to help support the local community and Orem’s Emergency Medical Service crews. Now in its eighth year, the community 5K walk/run event will be one of the highlights of the festival, helping to raise funds for first-responders and Cooper’s Foundation, Inc., which seeks to help local families and causes. “We’re were really excited that Orem City would ask us to join in with them, so that we can make our immediate community better through doing Cooper’s Run — through bringing people together and helping people who are in need,” said Jana Lynn Kofford, cofounder of Cooper’s Foundation and mother of Cooper Kofford, for whom the organization was named. “It’s about family and community and having a day where we can celebrate and feel a real sense of unity in our city.” Cooper’s Run began in response to a tragic driveway accident in 2009 that took the life of Cooper Kofford, who was then 4 years old. The following year,

The route will be different from years past, starting and ending at Scera Park. While

the Koffords expect the turnout to be smaller this year because of the changes, they’re hoping this will be an opportunity to grow and continue helping the local community. “We think it’s perfect because we’ll be able to continue honoring Orem and the EMS,” said Kofford. “And we want to keep benefiting Orem with these funds.”

Summer Safety

ummertime means family vacations, spending time outdoors and grilling. Don’t forget to keep yourself safe while you are enjoying the warm temperatures. Planning for safety is just as important as planning fun activities outdoors. Insect repellents, sunscreen and plenty of water should always be readily available before you head outside. Make a travel kit containing protective tools.

Staying safe in the sun

Jana Lynn and her husband Quinn Kofford organized the event with the help of their family in remembrance of their son. Wanting to create something positive from the accident, they sought to help the local community that had supported them through the difficult time. The Foundation’s mission is to “support those that protect the community from physical and emotional harm.” They’ve done so, year after year, by assisting local causes, like helping to raise money for a new K-9 Unit for the Orem Police Department and annually providing scholarships through the Cooper’s Foundation to low-income families for the Learning Dynamics Preschool, where Cooper attended. As part of Cooper’s Run, the Foundation also honors a member of Orem’s public safety department for extraordinary work, performing it with “compassion, love, respect and reverence.” This is a tradition that will continue with Summerfest as the city and the foundation will both honor first responders during special events at the festival. “We’re honored to be a part of Orem and their celebration, because Orem and the EMS crews have become very

According the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sunburns can increase your risk of skin cancer. Make sure to take proper precautions when exposed to the sun for long periods of the time.

The CDC recommends taking the following steps: • If you are unable to find shade, wearing a wide-brim hat is an efficient way to protect your face, head, ears and neck; • Periodically apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 that features both UVA and UVB protection; • Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated in hot temperatures; and • Wait until cooler parts of the day to perform strenuous activities. Exerting high amounts of energy may cause heat stroke during high temperatures.

Proper grilling

During the summer, people tend to grill outdoors rather than heating up their home by using the oven.

Using a grill comes with different obstacles than using an indoor cooking method. Keep in mind these important safety tips before serving. Preheating your grill to the proper temperature is crucial. If you are using charcoal, preheat your coals for at least 20 to 30 minutes before applying meat. A temperature gauge can be a huge help in determining proper levels. Once your grill is sufficiently heated, clean the grate with a steel brush. The hot temperatures will burn off dangerous bacteria. A meat thermometer is another tool you need to safely grill. Ensuring your food has reached the recommended internal temperature will

keep you and your family safe from serious illness.

Swimming safely

Planning to hit the beach or pool? Safety should be your top concern, especially for inexperienced swimmers. Avoid using air-filled swimming aids for your children. Stick to life jackets, especially in deeper waters. Never take your eyes off young children while they are swimming. Make sure they are always within arm’s reach just in case they need assistance. Other tips include taking a shower and always washing your hands after using the restroom before you get in the pool. Bacteria can spread quickly in the water, so do your part to keep the water as sanitary as possible.

STRAWBERRY DAYS

Strawberries, fire and police in Pleasant Grove LAURA GILES

“Home of the Free … Because of the Brave” is the theme for this year’s Strawberry Days celebration in Pleasant Grove and some of the brave members of the community — the firefighters and police officers — will be actively taking part in the festivities. The celebration will take place June 10-18. To kick off the weeklong celebration, the Pleasant Grove Police Department’s Honorary Colonels will be sponsoring a car show in the Downtown Park, 100 S. Main Street, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 10. There is no cost to attend. Last year, there were 80 cars on display and this year, more are expected, according to Mike Carter, Honorary Colonel. Twelve exotic cars will also be featured in the show. There will also be a silent auction, music from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s and drawings for prizes. The police department’s K9, Havoc, will be there giving demonstrations. All of the money raised from the car show will go to help the police department purchase needed equipment. “In the past we have purchased digital radios, locked boxes for each police car to safely store

Beginning at 4 p.m., there will be a car cruise. Any of the cars at the show can cruise along a specified route, which will begin at the park. Something new this year is the Strawberry Days Safety Fair, which will be held on June 13 from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at the Pleasant Grove Recreation Center, 547 S. Locust Ave. Firefighters and police officers will be on hand during the safety fair, teaching

various ways of staying safe. “We want to make sure that everybody is utilizing and understanding the purpose of the police and fire departments and staying safe while they’re living in our beautiful city,” said Lisa Coombs, Strawberry Days committee member. While this is the first safety fair held during Strawberry Days, the plan is that it will become a permanent fixture in the yearly celebration. The fair is designed for families and people of all ages will enjoy it, said Coombs. The Utah Highway Patrol will be on hand

with a crash simulator, which will help teach the importance of wearing seat belts. Pleasant Grove police officers will be giving out gun locks to help educate and promote gun safety. Pleasant Grove High School’s Biking Vikings will be teaching and demonstrating bicycle safety. Participants should bring their own bikes and helmets and will have the opportunity to ride a course. Firefighters will be there with their gear and their firehouse dog, Arson. Fire safety tips will be shared. Families will have the opportunity to ask firefighters and police officers questions about safety in the home and around the city. Later in the week, police officers and firefighters will be outside the fire department while runners run off the strawberries and cream they have eaten throughout the week. The annual 5K Guns and Hoses race will be held on June 17. This run involves the police and fire departments and raises money for their respective associations. The 5K and the kids’ half-mile run are open to all ages. The 5K race will start and finish at the fire station, 92 E. 100 South, at 7 a.m. Packet pick up will be on June 16 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the fire station.

Marc and Jessica Sanderson named Grand Marshals LAURA GILES

Correspondent

After growing up attending Strawberry Days festivities every year, lifelong Pleasant Grove residents Marc and Jessica Sanderson will be honored as this year’s Strawberry Days grand marshals. This year’s Strawberry Days theme is “Home of the Free … Because of the Brave.” Strawberry Days Committee Chairperson Lisa Young said that the committee wanted to choose grand marshals who reflect this theme. There were many wonderful choices that the committee considered, said Young. The couple, who began dating in high school and have been married almost three decades, were surprised to be chosen, but said that they are flattered and consider it an honor. Typically, the grand marshals participate in many of the activities held throughout the week and the Sanderson family is accustomed to attending the various activities every

year. For eight years, Marc Sanderson helped plan the celebration as part of the Strawberry Days committee. But that may change this year. Marc might still be in the hospital after going through a stem cell transplant as part of treatment for mantle cell lymphoma. “I told them we may not be able to attend, but they still wanted us to be grand marshals,” Marc said. Since February, Marc has been hospitalized six times undergoing treatment at Huntsman Cancer Institute. He has completed six cycles of one-week inpatient treatments followed by two weeks at home. While Marc is the one with cancer, Jessica feels the emotional, mental and even physical stress of it as well. But, the recent battle with cancer is not the only reason committee members chose the Sandersons to represent the city during Strawberry Days. “They were nominated because of our

theme, ‘Home of the Free … Because of the Brave,’” said Young. “They have battled through adversity and are currently battling cancer. He also brought the fire department into a new era.” In 2006, Marc became the city’s fire chief. He led the transition from a volunteer department to a combination

of full-time and part-time firefighter/ paramedics. “It enhanced the levels of service,” he said. Before that time, volunteers would be called at their home during an emergency, drive to the station, get their gear and then respond. “There would be 20 minute response times,” Marc said.

John was born in Lehi, and has loved its history ever since he was young, Jeanette said. His mother was in charge of the Lehi Round-Up parade for years. “He learned to love all those kinds of city and family activities,” said Jeanette, a retired school teacher who married John about 18 years ago. As the current Lehi historian since 2013, John, with Jeanette’s help, has categorized and filed the city’s historical archives, which were left in disarray when the previous historian died. When starting as historian, there were about 5,500 archives. Those archives now contain more than 37,000 biographies,

John has previously been honored by the Utah Division of State History for his work to create city historical archives, including asking Lehi city for a building

dedicated to permanent archives. Another project John can take credit for, Jeanette said, is Lehi’s “Walk of Fame.” Each year, couples are selected based on service to the city, and commemorated with a brick in Lehi’s Legacy Park.

“This is his way of trying to honor people who have done great things for Lehi,” Jeanette said. “It’s a great tradition.” John also previously served on the Lehi City Council from 1976 to 1984, and has served in numerous other roles including in his church. “He has a huge passion for Lehi and for its history,” said Melanie Hansen, events coordinator for Lehi. “It’s contagious when you are around him. You want to learn more about it because he loves it so much.” John is currently battling colon cancer, Jeanette said, and is not expected to live much longer. But, she said, being named as the grand marshal is a great tribute to him. “We want to thank all our family and friends for being there during our work on the archives and through times of health issues,” she said.

PONY EXPRESS DAYS

Eagle Mountain boasts updated schedule KARI KENNER

Daily Herald

T

hough Eagle Mountain is a newer addition to Utah County, it’s a city founded in tradition and community, a fact made more evident each year with the annual Pony Express Days celebration. The festival takes its name from Eagle Mountain’s ties to the original Pony Express Trail, and will be held this year from May 29 to June 3. Though some great things about it stay the same each year such as the rodeo, parade, Family Fun Festival and carnival, other aspects are ever changing to keep up with the needs of a burgeoning community. Among the biggest changes to the schedule this year are the addition of a family-friendly community bike ride Tuesday, May 30 and the switch from a pancake breakfast to a community pancake dinner that same evening. “We have added a just-for-fun bike ride back into the lineup, combined with a pancake dinner,” said Linda Peterson, Eagle Mountain’s communications and community relations director. “We used to do a pancake breakfast, but since it is a weekday, we wanted to offer something where more people may be able to participate.

COURTESY OF EAGLE MOUNTAIN CITY

Eagle Mountain’s Family Fun Night 2016 gets underway. “It’s fun to see everyone from little kids on tricycles to senior citizens out biking.” The bike ride will kick off at Eagle Mountain City Hall at 6 p.m. May 30, and is 2.8 miles one way. The route will extend from City Hall to the turnoff parking lot on Pony Express Parkway just south of Unity Pass, before making its way back to City Hall. Water and refreshments will be available to riders at that resting point, with the pancake dinner to follow at 6:30 p.m. Another slight change to the schedule is the addition of an outdoor movie, “Moana,” to the traditional Family Fun Night on May 31. The film, according to

Peterson, will be the first in a series of movies the city will be hosting throughout the summer. It also serves as part of the city’s goal to create a better, more affordable experience to festival-goers. “We are always looking for ways to enhance the event lineup without adding too much cost to the city or the residents,” Peterson said. “Both of these additions are all-ages friendly and free to participants.” A slightly less noticeable change to the Pony Express Days celebration will come during the June 3 closing fireworks display, which will be lengthened to 15 explosive minutes of fireworks. All the changes come with one goal

in mind: to create a great event that will unify the community. “Pony Express Days is something that really brings the community together to socialize and have fun,” Peterson said. “We hope the lineup will have something to offer for all residents and visitors from other communities and that the weather will be great so we can emerge from our winter cocoons and celebrate the beginning of the summer season.” With popular activities such as the Demolition Derby, Pony Express Adventure Ride and the Grand Parade still on the schedule, there will definitely be plenty of reasons to join in the fun.

Resident Vincent Liddiard named grand marshal KARI KENNER

Daily Herald

W

hen Eagle Mountain resident Vincent Liddiard first moved to the area, the city was still in its infancy. It’s been 18 years since then, with three new homes for his family, as well as the opportunity to watch roads be paved, businesses move in and other families settle in the city he’s learned to love. It’s not just Liddiard’s history with the city, though, that’s led to his selection as this year’s Pony Express Days Grand Marshal. The title, recommended by community members and selected by the event committee, comes from his passion for service and the many ways he’s contributed to making the area a better place through the years he’s lived there. That doesn’t mean his nomination didn’t catch him off guard, though. “Honestly, my first impression was I was surprised and a little embarrassed, too,” he said. “I just want to do what I do and do my thing. I enjoy what I do so much – where I live, who I get to work with. But I’m very pleased and extremely grateful.”

What Liddiard does extends deeply into the roots of the community, including time on the City Council and as mayor pro tem, to his work afterward, creating and heading the Eagle Mountain Division of the Utah County Sheriff’s Office Volunteers in Police Service program. “When the time for me to leave elected service (came), I wanted to stay involved in the community,” Liddiard said, and he definitely has, volunteering regularly to help with the city’s Pony Express Days, as well as serving as football announcer for Westlake High School. Through the years, he’s also served on the economic development board and even spent time as a scoutmaster to local youth. An Army man through and through, Liddiard lived on base before moving to Eagle Mountain, and still works for the Department of the Army at the Dugway Proving Ground. He has a wonderful wife and five sons, spanning in age from middle school to college. According to Liddiard, one of his favorite things about living in Eagle Mountain is the feel it has developed over the years, creating the perfect space for his family. “There’s a great sense of community,” he said. “It’s quiet, peaceful and little bit off the beaten road. People

are friendly and going to help each other. “It’s also a growing community. … In 20 years of existence, it’s gone from a few homes to 27,000 people. That’s pretty rapid growth. But despite the huge influx of people, it’s kept the culture of service and just that community feel.” According to Liddiard, the years have brought Eagle Mountain a maturity and permanence that were only a hope when it was founded. With its unique ties to the Pony Express trails, its proximity to the mountains and Utah Lake and its rich history, he said it’s “a great place to enjoy living.” As to personal interests, Liddiard said he enjoys volunteering, staying busy, camping, reading, doing voice work such as announcing, and, of course, spending time with his wife and children. As grand marshal, Liddiard will be featured in the parade and have the opportunity to appear at the Pony Express Days Rodeo and Demolition Derby. He’ll also be featured in the city’s newsletter before continuing the quiet service and volunteerism he’s been offering the city and his neighbors for nearly two decades now.

Boating Safety pending a day out on the lake is a great way for people to unwind and enjoy the sun. Whether you’re using your boat for fishing, tubing or joyriding, there are risks and rules present while on the water.

Navigation rules Boaters refer to basic laws of water navigation as “The Rules of the Road.” These rules were created to decrease the number of accidents while boating and can be beneficial if followed. One basic rule is to have a lookout on board. This designated watcher is responsible for looking for dangerous situations in all directions. Except for certain areas, the water doesn’t use speed-limit signs. A boater is responsible for determining a safe speed to travel. Visibility, traffic and how well your boat maneuvers should all be factors when considering speed.

Boating accident statistics The United States Coast Guard reported a total of 4,158 boating accidents occurred in 2015. Of these accidents, 626 deaths occurred and more than 2,600 people were injured. Keep the following startling statistics from the Coast Guard’s 2015 boating accident report in mind the next time you hit the water. • Alcohol is a huge factor in fatal boating accidents. It was the leading contributor to 17 percent of boating deaths. • In cases with a known cause of death, 76 percent of deaths were caused by drowning. Eighty-five percent of these victims were not wearing a proper life jacket. • Drivers who did not participate in safety instruction classes contributed to 71 percent of all 2015 boating deaths.

ADOBE STOCK

• A total of 22 children under the age of 13 died while boating. Over half were not wearing life jackets.

Required items

There are several items to have on hand to keep yourself safe and obey federal regulations. To ensure your equipment is up to safety standards, make sure they are certified to meet U.S. Coast Guard specifications. All recreational boats are required to carry at least one life jacket for each person on board. These jackets should be properly fitted for the intended user and in good condition. Create a safe space on your boat to store these jackets when you’re not on the water.

Alan and Carol Curtis named parade grand marshals

S

pringville residents Alan and Carol Curtis have been named grand marshals of the 2017 Art City Days Grand Parade. The parade will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 10, and travel down 400 South and Main Street. Alan Loy Curtis was raised in Springville where he was active in youth football, baseball and the rifle club. He graduated from Springville High School in 1963 where he was active in drama and sports. He played offensive and defensive tackle for football. He also participated in wrestling and baseball. Alan attended Snow College on a football scholarship, playing tackle for the Badgers. Carol Ann Jacobsen Curtis was raised in Salina and graduated from North Sevier High School in 1963, where she participated in band and choir and sang solos and in a trio. She also sang in assemblies, church meetings, for the Lions Club and at other civic functions. She received a music scholarship to Snow College and began attending there in the fall of 1963. While there she participated in many activities including concert band, pep band, madrigals, assemblies, dances and graduation programs. It was at Snow College where Alan and Carol met. They married in the Manti LDS Temple on March 19, 1965. They have since lived in Ephraim, Provo and Springville as well as Omaha, Nebraska; and Carter Lake, Iowa. Alan and Carol both graduated from LDS Institute and Snow College in June of 1965. Alan continued his education at Brigham Young University, graduating in 1968 with a bachelor’s degree in youth leadership and a minor in physical education. While Alan attended BYU, Carol worked for the Kress Co. on Center Street in Provo. She worked there until June of 1966 when the management realized she was expecting her first baby. On Nov. 11, 1966, their first child was born, Kelly Alan Curtis. Their second son, Courtney Jacobsen Curtis, was born at Nebraska Methodist Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska, on July 9, 1968. Alan took a job with Boys Clubs of Omaha and worked extra jobs to make ends meet. Their first daughter, Christine,

was stillborn when they lived in Carter Lake, Iowa. The Curtis family moved back to Springville in August of 1972 and purchased the Ostler home at 446 E. Center St. They had lived there four years when they adopted their two beautiful Korean daughters Katy (Kim Eun Sung) and Kimberly (Kim Na Sung). They quickly outgrew their home and moved up the block to 524 E. Center St. They have lived there since February of 1977, 40 years this year. Carol has been involved in music her entire life. She has served in music positions in her church and joined the Springville Musettes in 1966, continuing as a member of that choir until a couple of years ago (other than living in Omaha for four years). After moving back to Springville, Alan worked construction until he was given the job of recreation and community education director for the city of Springville. He served on the city recreation board for seven years. He served the city and school district for 28 years. Alan was instrumental in getting several parks built such as Bird Park, Clyde Park, the Spring Acres Arts Park (upper and lower), Spring Creek, Big Hollow, Hunters Valley and Child Park. He redid Memorial Park’s ball diamonds and worked on the beginnings of the Sports Park in the West Fields. He spearheaded the upgrading and enhancement of the South Main entrance into Springville including the welcome sign. He started Youth Soccer in Springville, serving boys and girls in Cub Soccer through Teen Soccer. He also helped create the skateboard park, started Flag Football to help prepare young boys for tackle football and developed a junior golf program. Alan began his coaching career with Springville High football in 1967 as part of an internship under Coach Mike Jacobsen. This opportunity turned into a long coaching career. He coached football during his Boys Club years and with Springville High for a total of 48 years! After 28 years with Nebo School District and Springville City, Alan retired in 2006. Alan and Carol have four children: Kelly, Courtney, Katy and Kimberly. They also have 11 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Springville Citizen of the Year: Sonny Braun

A

t the young age of 32, Sonny Braun became the first head professional at Hobble Creek Golf Course in Springville. Until his retirement in 2014 – 48 years later – he was the only head pro at Hobble Creek. That’s a Utah record. No other golf course in Utah has had the original pro maintain his position that long. Sonny and his brother Jerry and sister Mary grew up loving golf. Sonny and Jerry both became golf professionals and Mary became the reigning women’s club champion at Timpanogos Golf Course for the better part of three decades. Sonny started in golf at the age of 12 when he began working at the original Timpanogos Golf Course. He worked at Timp for a period of 17 years, interrupted for two years by service in the Army. During those years at

Timp, he worked under the tutelage of Jimmy Thompson, Bill Johnston and Dave Crowton. While in the Army, he served as assistant professional to Ben Cavalier at Fort Sheridan Golf Course. In 1963 he went to Monterey Peninsula Country Club as an assistant pro with John Geertsen Jr. He maintained that position until he was invited back to Utah County to be the head pro at Hobble Creek. All totaled, he has served in golf shops for 68 of his 83 years of life. During his years at Hobble Creek, he established strong men’s and women’s golf associations and worked closely with various mayors and city councils to build a solid core of loyal Springville golfers. Hobble Creek, because of its unusual beauty and serenity, attracts thousands of golfers from throughout Utah, but Sonny saw that it retained the feel of a small community golf

course. As the golf course icon, Sonny conscientiously worked on linking the community to the course, and as a re-

sult, the citizens of Springville take an unusual pride of ownership in their golf course. To them, Hobble Creek is their country club. Sonny was a fine player, holding the Hobble Creek course record at one time with a 63, but he devoted his golf focus to administration and teaching. He also developed a talent in golf repair and refinishing clubs and became a craftsman at it. He has won numerous awards including Merchandiser of the Year, the Bill Strausbaugh Award for Public Relations and the Utah Section PGA “Gentleman Jeff” Award. The Art City Amateur Tournament he established is a fixture in Utah golf and now is named after him. Sonny married Laurel Turner (deceased) 57 years ago and they had three sons: Scott (deceased), Steve and Shea.
