Increasing activity of our Youth

By Carolina Herrin

“It’s definitely very concerning to see that our kids are engaging in such a limited amount of physical activity each day.” – Dr. Steven Pont, chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics. According to recently released data, “the overall obesity rate for children aged 2 to 19 has sky rocketed within the last few years and more troublesome, is that kids’ fitness levels have become very limited, or dropped all together from an average family, daily activities.

According to the Federal guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “only 1 in 4 U.S. kids aged 12 to 15; meet the standard physical activity recommendations, which are an hour or more of moderate to vigorous exercise every day.” These results were obtained from about 800 kids who selfreported their activity levels and had physical exams as part of the 2012 National Youth Fitness Survey.

The results also showed that obese kids were less active than “normal” weight kids. This is a troublesome trend, as there is proof showing that kids who are more active, are smarter, perform better in school and are overall better learners.

10-78 Sherwood Fundraiser

By Megan Allen

As we know, in late January, we lost Sgt. Cory Wride in a malice act and while in pursuit of his killer, Deputy.Greg Sherwood was shot in the head. While Sherwood has been making a tremendous comeback, his fight is not over.

In partner with Wiggy Wash, a local couple has put together a fundraiser on March 8th (at Both Wiggy Wash locations) to raise funds to go towards the Sherwood’s family to help with any financial needs.

If you missed the fundraiser, participating stores will be holding a drawing during the month of March that will lead up to a Parking Lot BBQ where names will be drawn. Prizes will be awarded that have been generously provided by local and surrounding businesses.

By Jamie Towse While out on dismounted patrol on May 14th 2013 , my son Specialist Cody James Towse was killed. An Improvised Explosive Device was detonated while he rendered medical aid to a fellow injured soldier. He was doing what he was well trained to do, but above all, what he loved to do.

It wasn’t until nine months after he died that I was able to look at the investigational report of Cody’s death in Sanjaray, Afghanistan, unsure if there were details that I just didn’t need to know. But after reading all the accounts from those who were there, I felt extremely thankful for all the brave, selfless, good soldiers, his battle buddies, who surrounded him that day, like they do for each other, everyday.

It’s characteristics that Cody and his brothers- in- arms displayed that we are looking for in those who apply for Cody’s scholarship.

Bravery,excellence, service above self, patriotism, love. In all their varied forms. Those who will help carry Cody’s torch forward.

Let me share with you a little about Cody

and what happened that afternoon last May in Sanjaray.

From the time he was little when I had guests over, Cody would put a towel over his arm and serve refreshing drinks for us all. Later in elementary school he befriended a boy with kidney disease who was smaller in size and defended him against all bullies.

Cody was bright and was a delight to his teachers through high school. So happy were they, when he asked intelligent questions and was genuinely interested in what they taught, especially American History. He made time to listen. His witty humor was always welcomed.

He graduated in 2010 from Salem Hills High School, receiving his EMT at 18 and joined the fire department in Elk Ridge. The Army guaranteed him that he would become a combat medic. That sealed the deal for him. After training, he switched companies so he would get to Afghanistan sooner and get to work.

Cody was known as an excellent medic, earning the trusted title “Doc” by his platoon. He kept everyone’s spirits up. This in spite of the fact that he went out on dismounted patrols

twice everyday, so they always would have a medic with them.

They had just finished lunch, when Cody’s squad was called up to investigate a suspected IED site. Counter I.E.D. equipment was offloaded, which Spc. Mitchell Daehling operated. This was made to detect pressure sensitive I.E.D.’s. Spc. William Gilbert followed with more equipment to recheck that the area was clear. Together they cleared a path and marked it for the squad and Afghani army members to follow on patrol, spread out, in single file.

They arrived at the suspected area by a bridge.

They cleared the area with their equipment and radioed back to headquarters to verify they were in the right area. They were, and proceeded to head south over another bridge, with tall grasses growing nearby, clearing a safe path all the way. This is when Cody and his squad leader, SGT Kevin Grimillion saw an explosion at the front of their patrol file.

Cody, as combat medic was kept at the rear of the line for added protection. They received

LIBERTY SHALL BE MAINTAINED

Printed with permission

“The Empowered Man”

by Jon McNaughton

By Jon McNaughton There is something simmering deep inside the soul of all Americans.

We want to know that we are a free people; that the government acknowledges our individual rights; that fiscal responsibility is an absolute requirement. We want our presidents and politicians to mean what they say when they take the oath of office to defend the Constitution of the United States!

Do we have freedom when half the country pays taxes to support the other half? Do we have freedom when government regulates every aspect of our lives?

Do we have freedom when our currency is controlled by a corporation that has no accountability to the American people?

Do we have freedom when we have more debt than can possibly be repaid?

The government bureaucracy is to a point where it is no longer worth what the tax payer is required to maintain it. I wonder how many Americans realize they have sold our God given freedoms for a mess of pottage I hope everyone will see themselves as the Empowered Man. It makes no difference whether you are a man or woman, how old you are, or the color of your skin. You must decide to no longer be silent, to get off your bench, pick up that Constitution and hold it high in the air as a standard for the world to see. Don t hold back! Don t be silent! You are the future of this nation and without YOU, the American dream will perish.

"This mass spying is uniquely and profoundly un-American and will continue to undermine our freedoms. I am not arguing here that all spying is illegal—just that spying on all of us is illegal. Why bother with the formality of warrants when they permit all spying all the time?

Spying on anyone not named in a warrant, or employing a warrant not based on probable cause, is the hallmark of those totalitarian regimes against which we have fought our just wars and our cold wars. Yet today, the government in America seems more like the former enemies we vanquished than the place of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness the Framers established." ~Judge Andrew Napolitano

NATIONAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION AT ODDS WITH THE FOURTH AMENDMENT

Understanding Liberty

By Casey Beres There is a big brouhaha currently going on regarding the NSA (National Security Agency) and it’s spying on every American citizen. The NSA has been intercepting the electronic communications and telecommunications, and collecting the phone records and other electronic data of the mass of Americans’ cell phones, computers, emails, etc., for more than a decade now, in hopes of stopping some future terrorist plot. The NSA and federal government has been stating that the “security” of America the nation requires such large scale spying. Just to what extent the NSA’s mass spying goes we still don’t know yet, but we know enough to know that the NSA has been breaking the law for a long time now and in a variety of ways.

To those readers who may side with the federal government and its spoiled child, the NSA, and agree that privacy must be surrendered in order to protect America and its citizens, I kindly remind you of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or

things to be seized.”

The Fourth Amendment specifies that, in order to secure to people their bodies, their houses, their papers, and their other property large and small, law officers must obtain a warrant from a judge in order to search and/or seize a suspect of a crime or that suspect’s property.

The way law officers obtain said warrant is to offer probable cause with an oath to a judge that the evidence is real, upon pain of perjury. Probable cause means clear cut evidence that the crime happened, that the individual accused probably committed the crime, and that some of his property was probably used to commit the crime. In addition to swearing under oath and offering probable cause, the officer seeking the warrant must also specify the person and/or property to be searched and/ or seized. The warrant does not give the officer(s) cart blanche to search and/or seize whatever, whomever, and wherever he/she wants. He/she must specify exactly who and what is to be searched and/or seized; everything/everybody else is off limits We have Massachusetts to thank for the Fourth Amendment. It began with two Massachusetts natives, James Otis, Jr. and John Adams. In 1761, James Otis, Jr. a lawyer, representing 63 Boston merchants, defended the people’s right to be secure in their persons and property from arbitrary search and seizure, allowed via a “writ of assistance.” The

writ of assistance was a general search warrant that allowed the Crown customs official to enlist local citizens in his duties of punishing smugglers. It allowed that officer and his assistants to search wherever, whoever, and whenever he pleased, based on mere suspicion or less that someone was violating the tyrannical English trade laws. What’s more, these writs were permanent and transferable. To Otis, these general search warrants were unconstitutional, contrary to the English common law. This case was witnessed by the young lawyer John Adams, who took this memory with him when he helped write the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution. James Madison then took the Massachusetts prohibition of general warrants and copied it into his proposals for the Fourth Amendment, albeit worded differently.

The NSA’s spying violates the Fourth Amendment in every single way.

Though the NSA has “warrants” issued by special federal courts called FISA courts (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court), these warrants are unreasonable and thus unlawful. It is unreasonable when a single individual, a mass group of random people, or even all people in America and abroad have their personal information via cellphones, internet, and computer data or their phone calls and emails searched/ seized by the NSA, particularly because the search warrant issued by the

SB

T

FISA court is not issued upon oath andt t probable cause of a crime having been committed. It’s impossible that everyw single American and foreign person inL and out of America has committed aw crime that justifies the search of theirp metadata, calls and emails. Thus, thew FISA “warrant” is NOT supported byW oath and probable cause because thereL is no evidence whatsoever that thist many people committed a crime. No evidence of crime means no oath and no probable cause that a crime happened and that the mass of Americans and others who are the warrant’s target committed said crime. Also, such a warrant is not specific because it doesn’t describe the person or thing(s) to be searched and/or seized. Thus, the NSA’s spying on Americans and others is blatantly unconstitutional because their “warrants” fail to meet any of the requirements of the Fourth Amendment.

Our forefathers would not tolerate general warrants, so why are we? Our forefathers separated from the government that sought to impose general warrants on them, and changed their own governments that issued them after the Revolution. Why do we tolerate that government that currently forcing them upon us? It’s as if George III’s ghost is at the helm in DC.

the call, “ Man down!” Cody and SGT Grimillion “quickly rushed” to the front. Cody was securing tourniquets that had been applied to Spc. Daehling’s legs and was administering morphine and had loaded him onto a litter, when a second I.E.D. detonated. Spc. Gilbert and Daehling were killed in this much larger explosion. Cody was nowhere to be seen in the big cloud of dust.

Sgt. Gremillion was thrown away from the site by the explosion, hit a wall and received a concussion facial and other body wounds.

He was a foot away from Cody at the time of the explosion. Medical evacuation helicopters were called. Now they had multiple casualties and wounded men. All the men who were blown out of the cleared path zone were told to freeze until they could clear a path again to come get them. SFC Baker attempted to clear a path to retrieve Spc. Gilbert’s body when a third I.E.D. was detonated and the blast killed him. All the while, the wounded were being treated as best they could, while others were pulling security, for protection until they were all out of there. When Sgt. Adam Hartswick received the radio call that Cody’s patrol had been hit, he rushed to the site. He was the senior medic for this area and knew Cody well. While going to render aid Sgt. Hartswick was hit by a fourth I.E.D., which amputated both his legs instantly. With the medics down, the men needed guidance on how to treat the twounded. Sgt. Hartswick instructed the men how to apply tourniquets to his own legs and directed them in treatment of the others nearby before being evacuated himself.

Meanwhile the helicopters arrived one after the other and were directed to “safe” landing zones. One designated area was too small, so they circled around and landed on the road.

They picked up two urgent patients and were told three more were on their way, when they didn’t appear, they inquired and were told they were separated from their unit and couldn’t ,be moved over ground, so the pilot decided to reposition the helicopter closer to the injured.

Just before they lifted off the ground an I.E.D. went off 100 meters away to the rear. They waited for things to clear, then made their second attempt to pick up the wounded. A second I.E.D. exploded in front of their aircraft about 70 meters away, so they had to break off to avoid debris. At this point the pilot said, “I checked with the crew to ensure everyone was comfortable with third attempt at landing to pick up the patients, they were” He continued, “We witnessed multiple injured Soldiers walking down the road and assisting with other injured Soldiers. I instructed my medic to exit the aircraft and get the most critical patients.”

Soldiers from Cody’s squad stayed on guard at the site for over one and a half hours before being relieved. One of them found a fellow soldier stranded on a bridge in an “unsafe” zone, so he got as close to him as he could, then counted down, 3, 2, 1 and had him jump into his arms to safety.

Since Cody couldn’t be found, they feared he could have been taken prisoner, so a thorough door to door search was conducted.

Sgt. Mitchell said they looked desperately, everywhere for him. It was later determined that Cody had been killed in the second explosion with Daehling and Gilbert.

Due to the fact that the I.E.D.’s continued to detonate in “cleared” zones, it is thought by some that instead of being pressure sensitive devices, they were remotely detonated by the enemy, who were concealed in the overgrowth of the river bottom.

These are brave, selfless, good, patriot soldiers who love their brothers-in-arms like no other. May we aspire to be no less.

Donations to Cody Towse Scholarship Fund may be made at Wells Fargo Bank.

Tamara Atkin (801-376-7401) is also collecting donations for a bench and plaque to be put up at Salem Hills High School. Congressman Jason Chaffetz said he will match donated funds.

After notes: Sgt. Hartswick just had another surgery for his amputated legs and continues to recover from his injuries faster and progress faster than anyone anticipated. He has the heart of a lion! He went to try to save my boy, so he holds a special place in my heart. He is at Walter Reed Hospital with so many other of our wounded warriors.

Our family had the opportunity to meet Cody’s company and platoon in November when they were holding a home-from-deployment ball at Ft. Bliss in El Paso, Texas. I hugged as many as I could and assured them that we were so happy that they made it home safely. What they had been through was horrendous and they still suffer, but they continue doing their duty, proudly, for all of us.

The Law of Letting Go

L

etting go isn’t always an easy thing to do, but quite often it becomes a necessity. I work hard at being involved the community and in various groups that seek to enrich lives, including my own.

In one of the groups I meet with bi-weekly we were challenged to focus on The Law of Letting Go. I never realized or thought that I would be provided a real life situation to focus perfectly on that law.

Many of those that know me know I was in a wonderful relationship with the love of my life.

We had had a wonderful Valentine’s day and Love was in the air. Beautiful cards were given to each other and things seemed ever so perfect.

However, things changed one day and I was

servedaily

let go. Am I mad? No. Am I sad? Yes. Have things been hard? Yes. However, weeks ago I realized that I can only focus on the things that I have control over. I have no control over another person’s moral agency. Each person has the right to choose for him or herself. As do I. I could choose to hold on, to think of the past and hope it comes together or I could choose to let go and let God take care of things and guide me along the path.

Letting go for me means to spend a lot of time on my knees and sharing with God my dreams, thoughts, needs, desires, and so forth.

Trusting in Him and that things will work out one day, in His time and His way.

The Utah Elks Association along with support from the Spanish Fork Riding Club, American Legion Post # 28,48 and 68, Hand in Hand and many other supporters held their 2nd Annual Music from the Heart for Veterans.

Utah Elks Veterans Chairman and organizer Robert Pagnani stated that their focus this year was getting the word out and raising funds for Veterans on Suicide Prevention, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Programs. The surrounding communities and businesses open their hearts for the Veterans for this event by donating raffle prizes, food, drinks, music and even the building was donated by Spanish Fork City. Veterans, supporters and Elks came from

Payson, Salt Lake City, Tooele and far away as Price to support this event.

The highlight of the event was the visit from Veterans from the Central Utah Veterans Home in Payson. The Veterans were escorted by our American Legion and Diamond Fork Riding Club. The Veterans were then treated to haircuts by students from the American Beauty Academy out of Payson.

To top it off we had good music and our Veterans got up and showed us that at 93 years old they still could shake it. I want to thank everyone for making this a great success and we will be back next year.

Remember we did not loose our Veterans when then left to fight for our freedom and we will not loose them when they come home.

D.U.P. Stories

By Janeene Whitelock & Cynthia Peacock

“Activity” from front page

magazine, recently spoke with Julie Chen of CBS about what he calls a “crisis” in our nation. That are children are getting heavier and being less involved in physical activity.

He explained that “The statistics, which you won’t believe, are that in the last 30 years, the amount of overweight children from 6 to 11 years of age has doubled and the amount of overweight children, in the 12 to 17 year age group has tripled.”

The number one way to combat this obesity epidemic among our young children is to introduce more physical activity in their daily lives. Although it may sound like a no brainer, kids need to just play. Unstructured play is a great way for children to be active. Regular exercise will help our children to have a better all-around mood, as well as, release their stress levels. Along with daily exercise, encourage your kids to eat good healthy meals, including vegetables, protein and the right balance of good carbohydrates. Introduce water as a drink at meal times, instead of juice or soda.

Within our own community, we have plenty of resources to help our children stay active and to help them exercise. We have lots of different sports and activities offered through our Parks and Recreation Department. We also have a new program that will be kicking off in May, (Play Unplugged) which will introduce over 100 ways for our kids to get and stay active, while participating in various different activities all summer long.

One of these activities will be the Hey Kid

Nail Factory in Payson

Participants at last years Hey Kid Run.

Run, 2 Mile and 100 Meter Dash Fun Run. This run is put on by a Spanish Fork resident with its main mission being, of helping to ensure a healthy, active and happy lifestyle, for children starting at a young age. Hey Kid Run is set up to be just like a real race that adults participate in, but organized just for kids; with packet pickups, goody bags, race clock and timing, and of course a race shirt for every kid runner. For more information on this fun run and how to get your child involved, visit their Facebook Page – Hey Kid Run. Physical activity is in part, the way children discover the world and themselves. It helps kids to build strong muscles and healthy bones and it also helps to build a higher level of competence and self-esteem, in part leading us to having more successful and happy adults.

Information and sources from this article were obtained in part from: Runner’s World, Fox News and CBS News.

here was a nail factory in Payson in 1858. It was owned

by David Sabin Sr. and David Sabin Jr. David Sabin Jrs. Folks moved to Payson. He joined them and made his home there. His father had began to build a machine shop on the Payson Creek. Among the machines was one made for cutting nails. The knife for it was bought in the east, but all the other parts were made by hand. This plant gave David much work. His father hammered out the iron into long, flat pieces, varying in width and thickness according to the length and size of the nails to be made. David guided the iron under the powerful knife that cut the nails. The nails were square.

In the early stages of this nail making business the nails had to be picked up, one at a time and placed in a clamp, and headed by striking with a large hand hammer. Later, David Sabin Sr. invented a device that caught the nails as they came sliding down a chute, clamped them, and headed them all by machinery.

Many of the old army wagons from Johnsons Army at Camp Floyd, were purchased and the iron from them made into nails.

The iron axles and other heavy pieces were used this way.

David Sabin was a man of very remarkable inventive ability.

He received a Silver Medal for the best specimen of cut nails at the first annual Territorial Fair held in Salt Lake City in October of 1856.

David Sabin died on May 31, 1882. 31, 1882.

American Red Cross Recognizes ‘Everyday Heroes’

Submitted By John Petersen

March is Red Cross Month and the American Red Cross would like to recognize the nation’s Everyday Heroes who reach out to help their neighbors when they are in need.

“Our heroes are our volunteers, our blood donors, people who take our classes or those who make a financial contribution to help us help others here in Utah,” said Lisa Nelson, donor recruitment representative for Central Utah. “During Red Cross Month, we thank them and encourage everyone to discover their inner hero by giving time to help people in our community.”

For than 70 years, all of our country’s presidents, including President Barack Obama, have designated March as Red Cross Month to recognize how the Red Cross helps people across the country and around the world. These Everyday Heroes lend a hand to those in need in communities across the country by helping disaster victims on the road to recovery or giving blood to help a hospital patient.

Every eight minutes someone in Utah needs blood. Each year, the Red Cross collects and distributes about 40 percent of this nation’s blood supply.

“In Utah, we collect about 125,000 pints of blood from our generous blood donors each year,” Nelson said.

It is easy to make an appointment; potential donors can call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit redcrossblood.org. The Red Cross also needs help from local businesses, schools, churches and other organizations willing to sponsor blood drives on their premises. Call (801) 8924006 to sponsor a blood drive.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities: March 12 from 2:00 to 7:00 PM at the Hobble Creek Stake Center, 495 S. Canyon Road (1300 E), in Springville.

About the American Red Cross: The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families.

The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Thoughts on Zion

By Jesse Fisher

Pride Based Economics

I

n this column, we have been exploring pride-based social institutions that make up a Babylon society, and, their humilitybased counterparts in a Zion society. Let’s now consider pride-based economic systems.

In President Benson’s landmark talk, “Beware of Pride” he says it is pride that motivates us to do our own will and not the will of the Father. This is the mistake Lucifer made in the premortal world, he proudly thought He knew better than God and presented his own plan in competition to God’s.

According to Doctrine and Covenants 104, the Father has an economic plan for his children’s welfare while they are here in mortality. If God’s children on Earth put forth their own economic plans in competition with God’s are they not just as guilty of pride as Lucifer was? If so, then we ought to seek to understand God’s plan so that we might implement it within our respective stewardships.

We call God’s economic plan, as outlined in D&C 104:11-18, the Law of Consecration, or, Consecration and Stewardship. Reading those verses we realize that it is an economic system which God intended to be managed by the Church in a voluntary manner, not by compulsion through the state. In fact, Alma 1:26-31 shows us that in the Nephite economy,

under the newly-established Reign of Judges, the Church was the coordinating economic body for its members, not the state.

The same was true in Utah from 1847 to the late 1880s, as reported in Leonard J. Arrington’s book, The Great Basin Kingdom.

The Saints were anxiously engaged in what I call “Cooperative Free Enterprise” until the US Government destroyed their cooperative system through the enforcement of the Edmunds [anti-polygamy] Act. “Yes, but aren’t we taught that competition is the magic behind the Free Enterprise system?”

It is true that Competitive Free Enterprise generates great wealth, but it also generates poverty [and crime], which is contrary to God’s plan outlined in D&C 104. President Benson, quoting C.S. Lewis, said, “Once the element of competition has gone, pride has gone.”

The converse would also be true: “Where the element of competition exists, pride exists”. So, we conclude that Competitive Free Enterprise is rooted in pride, and therefore, is not of God. If we are to truly build Zion, we should seek to understand and work towards God’s economic plan instead of blindly participating in America’s Competitive Free Enterprise system. © 2014 by Jesse Fisher, BuildingZion.org

Spanish Fork High School Agriculture Department Tours California

By Mitchell Frost

The Spanish Fork and Salem Hills Agriculture Departments traveled to southern California on February 19 through the 23.

While in California they visited many different types of agricultural operations and had some extra time to spend on the beach and at the San Diego Zoo Safari. They visited California to explore many agricultural careers that are not found in Utah.

On the way to California they stopped at Holt Dairy, the largest dairy in Utah. They also stopped at Green Prairie International where they make compacted hay bales sold mainly overseas. Over the course of the next three days they visited Small Town Genetics, a nationally known supplier of quality show pigs and semen for breeding. Following that they visited Johnson Almond Orchard and saw how almonds are grown and processed and how

Legacy Music Alliance seeks to refurbish and repair instruments

By James Rust

On March 20, 2014, the state of Utah comes together for the annual event “Love UT Give UT,” a day of giving to local non-profit organizations. As a local non-profit, Legacy Music Alliance (LMA) hopes to raise $25,000 to help carry out their mission of strengthening music education throughout Utah.

Since 2010, LMA has created three specific programs. The “Educator Essentials” program provides ongoing teacher training by supporting and presenting annual conferences, and sending experts into classrooms to work with teachers and students. “Instruments to Students in Schools” (ITS) provides funding to assist schools in repairing and purchasing needed instruments. “Jump Start” provides small-group instrument instruction given by artist-level teachers, and helps beginning music students to improve more rapidly, encouraging them to stay in music. All of these programs are aimed at encouraging students to stay in school and on the road to success. Now, as a part of the Love UT Give UT campaign, LMA is inviting Utah citizens to join them in a united effort to ensure that music education in Utah remains vibrant and effective.

LMA’s Educator Essentials program has already brought professional musicians into local schools including, Spanish Fork Junior High. Band and Orchestra teacher Matt Wendell was able to improve the quality of instruction in his Jazz Ensemble by bringing in a professional trombonist. Students were trained on how to blend as a section and given tips on how to run a sectional. The section was able to accomplish a better sound by focusing on a unified tone. Having a professional musician in the classroom significantly helped

to enhance the music learning experience for these students.

Donations can be made to LMA through the Love UT Give UT event at http://loveutgiveut. razoo.com/story/Legacy-Music-Alliance or through the Legacy Music Alliance website at www.LegacyMusicAlliance.org. A donation of $40 makes one a Booster for Music Education. Just $50 provides (1) hour of inclass training, and $250 allows one to Sponsor a School Music program for a year.

Our intent is to raise $25,000! This will allow us to do the following: •Support our Instruments to Students in School program wherein we help refurbish and repair instruments in school music departments across Utah.

•Increase the clinician and mentoring hours available to Music Educators with our Educator Essentials program •Maintain our existing after-school first and second year student JumpStart Group Lesson programs Dr. Michael Huff, LMA’s executive program director and college professor, said, “Love Utah Give Utah shines the spotlight on all the amazing non-profit work being done in Utah. As one of those non-profits, Legacy Music Alliance simply could not accomplish all the good that we’re doing without the support of our donors whose passion and belief in the value and impact of music education is reflected in their generosity and support of our cause.”

Additionally, several community leaders and music professionals have joined the LMA campaign and have recorded supportive messages that can be viewed on the LMA web site.

Sunday Concert Series

By Ginny Ackerson

March 16th at 4:30 pm in the Springville Museum of Art there will be a free concert featuring Good Company, an indie folk band.

They are part of the Sunday Concert Series sponsored by the Springville Arts Commission and will be performing in the Grand Gallery.

The Sunday Concert Series emphasizes entertainment for the people, excellence of the performers, education and encouragement of young performers. Concerts are on the third Sunday of each month, excepting June and July, and feature many genres.

Good Company is an indie folk band formed in 2012 in Provo, Utah. The band is comprised of a revolving lineup of up to 7 members, with its core in lead vocalist/guitarist Natasha Watts, fiddler Kristin Bowles, and bassist Ben Christensen. Good Company’s style draws from its members’ American folk and bluegrass roots combined with the modern, melancholy style made popular by bands like Mumford and Sons and Of Monsters and Men. Good Company fuses the instrumentation of a traditional folk/ bluegrass band with Ingrid Michaelson-like vocals to produce music that’s both memorable and fun. From more traditional shows to farmers markets and weddings, Good Company finds every opportunity to share its members’

love of music both rowdy and pensive.

Clara Hurtado Lee will be performing on April 13, 2014 at the museum. Her warm and brilliant soprano encompasses the lyric coloratura repertoire. She has performed with the Utah Symphony, Utah Opera, Utah Lyric Opera, Utah Light Opera, The America West Symphony, and La Musica Lirica (Italy). Clara earned Bachelor and Master degrees in Vocal Performance from the University of Utah.

While in school, she was the recipient of vocal department scholarships and a study abroad scholarship. Clara spent two summers in Italy singing in La Musica Lirica, an opera training program. She was also the 2nd place winner of the NATSAA competition for the Cal-Western Region. Clara was selected to sing in master classes with; Alberto Zedda, Delora Zajick, Heidi Grant Murphy, Kelly O’Hara, Stanford Olsen, James Schwabacher, and William Bolcom.

Sharon Haddock of the Deseret News reports that “Lee has always felt singing is her way of praising God. It’s also part of a rich family heritage. Her father, Victor Hurtado, sang tenor in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Her siblings all sing. Her brother is a successful opera singer and teacher.”

Spring Lake Elementary Welcomes Band and Orchestra

By Lana Hiskey

Congratulations to An’Jalee Burningham for the 3rd week of February’s Wednesday Challenge sponsored by Wiggy Wash.

Payson Junior High School’s band and orchestra students along with their teachers, Mrs. Ericksen and Mrs. Petrucka performed at Spring Lake Elementary. This performance was to introduce the sixth-grade students to what is offered at the junior high school.

The theme was “Daring Dueling Duo Battling for Your Boogle Beat.” The musical performance showcased solos and the following types of instruments: woodwinds, brass, percussion, violin, viola, cello, and bass.

The following information was provided: Did you know. . .

Teens who play an instrument are less likely to have discipline problems.

A ten-year study indicates that students who study music achieve higher test scores, regardless of the socioeconomic background.

Students who can perform complex rhythms can also make faster and more precise corrections in many academic and physical situations, according to the Center for Timing, Coordination, and Motor Skills.

Students taking courses in music performance and music appreciation scored higher in the SAT than students with no arts participation. Music performance students scored 53 points higher on the verbal and 39 points higher on the math. Music appreciation students scored 61 points higher on the verbal and 42 points higher on the math. (Source: College-Bound Seniors National Report, 1999) Researchers in Leipzig discovered through the use of brain scans that musicians had larger planum temporale, the region of the brain associated with reading skills. Also, musicians had a thicker corpus callosum, the nerve fibers that connect the two halves of the brain.

(Source: G. Schlaug, L. Jancke, Y. Huang, and H. Steinmetz, 1994) Music is beating computers at enhancing early childhood development. Music training is far superior to computer instruction in dramatically enhancing children’s abstract reasoning skills necessary for learning math and science. Learning music at an early age causes long-term enhancement of spatial-temporal reasoning. (Source: Frances Rauscher, Ph.D., Gordon Shaw, Ph.D., University of CA, 1997)

Nebo District is Saving Energy and Going Green

By Lana Hiskey

March 16th at 4:30 pm in the Springville MuNebo District is saving energy and going green. With strains on the budgets and the continued growth of students, Nebo decided to research energy savings plans. Through this process, Nebo also found ways to help the environment.

Nebo School District teamed up with Cenergistic, which is a data driven, energy conservation company. Cenergistics spent hundreds of hours working with Nebo’s energy specialists with over 70 visits from energy consultants, data consultants, certified energy managers, and mechanical engineers.

The mission statement for the Nebo’s energy program is: “Nebo’s energy management program will sustain safe, comfortable school environments conducive to learning while ensure efficient use of facilities and resources and reduce the district environmental impact.”

Nebo’s maintenance department and building custodians work the day-to-day operations reducing energy consumption and are the backbone of the program. The energy specialists spend a great deal of time in the buildings during unoccupied times at night, on week-

ends, and holidays to ensure the equipment, lighting, and electronics are working properly.

In the first 11 months, with the guidance of Cenergistics, Nebo reduced its electrical use by over 20 percent, which equates to over 6.5 million kilowatt hours and avoided over 191,000 therms of natural gas. Based on EPA calculations, these savings equate to preventing 6,486 metric tons of CO2 emissions, removing 1,351 automobiles for an entire year, or planting 166,302 trees for ten years.

Nebo School District earned the Energy Star Partner award by being committed to the highest standards in energy conservation and by being good stewards of district funds and the environment.

Energy specialist Russell Maughan said, “Nebo School District’s energy management program is more than just a short term “Go Green” project. It is a comprehensive, sustainable plan designed to address behavioral, mechanical, and logistical use of our facilities in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint and be good stewards of taxpayer funds.”

Nebo thanks all of their employees including principals, teachers, staff, and students who have helped the district make energy reduction a priority and the energy program a success!

Junk in my Trunk to celebrate 4th Anniversary in March

By Tina Marie

It all began the day after Valentine’s Day 2010. I was in Saver’s on a Monday night with a friend, when the thought came that we don’t have a store like this in Spanish Fork. I thought to myself, “Ya I know that,” I didn’t think any more about it. I went to bed and woke up the next morning and the thought came to me if I’m going to do it, I better think of a name and it better start with an “A” because I was selling Yellow Pages and it had to be at the top. I wanted to call it Another Man’s Treasures, but it was not available. As I filled out the business paperwork on Tuesday, I had no business name, so Wednesday I went looking for a building. On Thursday my neighbor referred me to a place on Main Street next to J Mart.

I met the owner and he gave me a key to the building and said pay me in two weeks.

So in four days from getting the idea to finding a building, God guided me through to open my own second hand store. Later in the night, the thought came to name it “Junk in My Trunk”. I operated the store in Spanish Fork for a year and then My Sisters Closet purchased the building and I moved the shop to Provo. No

A warm, dense, homemade brownie plus ice cream plus velvety, homemade chocolate sauce equals no restraint.

Restaurant Review

By Kaye Nelson

there is baked bread at night.)

One of our sides was mashed sweet potatoes.

Get them.

“I could eat a whole plate of these sweet potatoes,” Julie remarked. They tasted like Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole – creamy with a crunchy, sweet topping.

We asked Zach several times if dishes had butter or cream. His response was always, “wholesome goodness and love.” We didn’t push it. Sometimes it’s best not to know.

I polled our group at the end, asking what they’ll choose when they return.

“Salmon, for sure,” Justine said, “sweet potato fries and Chicken Marsala.” The sauce was one of those “wholesome goodness and love” concoctions we ended up relishing.

Find Exquisite Homemade Taste Away From Home

There are a lot of well-kept secrets in south Utah Valley and Dalton’s Restaurant in Payson should top the list.

Dalton’s has been around for nearly 20 years but changed hands over a year ago. New owner Lanny Shurtleff has kept the menu and inviting ambiance but has added his own flair.

The restaurant has beautiful, inviting décor if ambiance is part of your equation for a nice meal out. A stone fireplace anchors the dining room and tasteful art and lighting lend to the fine dining experience.

Server Zach Voorhees gave recommendations, pointing out all food is made from scratch.

“The prime rib and smoked salmon are the most popular,” he said, noting the steaks are locally sourced and hand cut. “But we serve those on Friday and Saturday nights. And we generally run out so come early.”

To start, we chose the Jordan’s Platter – chicken wings, potato wedges, onion rings, sweet potato fries and fried green beans. The platter easily served four and we would have downed it all but had to stop because more food was coming.

We’d never heard of fried green beans. Zach said they are popular around the country.

“These are very tasty and crunchy,” said Julie Hollingworth. Justine Dorton agreed.

“They are my favorite thing on the platter,” she said. “They have a sweet zip to them.” We

did polish those off.

Tamela Blake tried the light, crispy onion rings. If you are a fan of onion rings, you will love Dalton’s. Zach said they are made with beer batter and a trade secret.

“The onion rings are fantastic,” Tamela said.

“I love the rich batter.”

We took Zach’s recommendations for the Chicken Marsala and Fish and Chips and added Honey Glazed Salmon, a Chicken Croissant Sandwich and a Cobb Salad.

Entrees were beautifully presented which adds to an enjoyable meal but taste buds overrule eyes and our taste buds were ecstatic.

The honey-glazed salmon was perfect. The sweet glaze enhanced rather than overpowered the salmon.

“It’s so hard to cook fish just right,” Justine said. “This is flaky and moist.”

Julie’s croissant sandwich was packed with chicken, cashews, onions and celery. We were amazed at the croissant – not a box-store, buyby-the-truckload kind – a real, homemade one.

“The croissant is so light and flaky,” Julie noted. “And the filling tastes so fresh.”

Zach praised the skill of Dalton’s baker Billy and we concur. The croissants and desserts elicited many mmmmmmms. (And we hear

We ended our feast with tall homemade coconut cream pie, fluffy cheesecake, inviting bread pudding and a to-die-for brownie sundae with addicting chocolate sauce. OK, we overdid, but it’s hard to say no to homemade magic!

Sneaky Ways of Finding Your Long Lost Relatives Ginny’s Genealogical Gems

By Ginny Ackerson

Are you having a hard time finding family members and proving relationships? Do your people seem to be hiding? There are some sneaky research techniques that will help you to find your family.

When using online searches find out what the wild card characters are for that site and use them liberally along with any Soundex features. For example, Adel* will find Adelle, Adele, Adeline, Adelaide, etc. You could also search for Ad*l* and get additional hits like Adaline. Remember to check for nicknames; Patsy for Martha, Ted for Theodore, etc., as you don’t know how they may have been recorded.

Soundex searches will get you all names that sound similar; Crittenden, Critendon, Crittinton, and any other way that someone could have misspelled it in the records. A wild card search for this name would look like this; Cr*t*n. A good exercise is to write down every possible way to misspell a name and then check indexes for each variation.

Sometimes you have to research other relatives in order to prove your direct line. I suspected James’s father was Nathan but they appeared in no documents together. In the 1850 census, an aged Nathan was living with his daughter, Patsy, to whom he left his estate when he died 2 years later. I checked to see if Patsy left a will….she had, and named her brother, James, as her executor…. thus proving the direct relationship. An unknown child was

added to the family when James referred to his nephew, Thomas, son of his deceased b r o t h e r, Thomas, in his application to administer her estate.

You may not find just one document that defines relationships, names and places so you may have to use several documents to complete and prove family groups. Abraham was married in the 1850 census, so we needed other documents to prove his parentage. We checked the city directories and found a Thomas and an Elizabeth living at the same address as Abraham before he was married. Were these his parents?

Further research in the census, directories, poor house, death, and cemetery records proved that Elizabeth was his mother, Thomas was his brother and they found that his father, John H., had died when the boys were young, leaving Elizabeth as the “widow of John H.” in the city directories many years earlier. Two of John’s grandchildren were named after him which was further proof of family relationships.

riting a book review column just once a month shouldn’t be a challenge for someone who reads as much as I do. My problem is I’m too busy reading to write reviews. I love to read because it makes me happy. Writing doesn’t cause that same blissful state – it feels too much like work. However, reviews are helpful to me when I choose a book so hopefully this BookLook column will help you when you are looking for some happy reading time.

I recently opened a new book by local Springville author Marilyn Brown titled, “The Rosefields of Zion”. Brown is the author of more than a dozen novels, five histories, two musicals for the stage and five books of poetry.

She has won many state and local writing awards for her fiction.

“The Rosefields of Zion” is romantic novel set in historic Zion National Park and the St. George area of Utah. It’s definitely a book women will enjoy more than men or teens.

It is written for the LDS reader, but could be enjoyed by readers not familiar with the religion or culture of the Mormons in 1920s Utah. I especially enjoyed the historical information and legends woven into the story of the fictional Rosefield family.

At the beginning of the book the author states: “This book is much more fiction than history.” Brown then identifies the historical figures for us and tells us that there was a real family who lived on the farm at the entrance to Zion National Park from approximately 1912 -1931 but they did not resemble the Rosefields.

Their name was Crawford and they were finally forced to sell their land to the National Park Service in 1931 during the Depression.

I liked reading about how the park came to be named Zion. A Mr. Behunin, who had been a bodyguard to the Prophet Joseph Smith and suffered persecution in Missouri traveled west with Brigham Young. When he came to the safety of the red hills for the first time he exclaimed, “These are the temples of God, built without the use of human hands. A man can worship God among these great cathedrals as well as any man-made church. This is Zion.”

I agree Mr. Behunin.

The story’s main character, Marissa Rosefield, narrates her family tale of tragedy in the shadow of the red rocks of Zion. The story begins in 1925 as the family prepares to attend the funeral of their mother. Things don’t get any better for the Rosefields as more trials and tragedies visit this small family.

The central conflict is between the family of farmers who want to keep their land and the government officials who want to use for a park visitors center. As tensions increase between the two groups, Marissa makes a disastrous choice. It’s the kind of decision where you yell out loud, “Don’t do it!” as you are reading.

I wish I had been in St. George in February reading this story instead of Iowa. Being right there “on location” would have been the perfect place to read and relax. If you want to take a book down to southern Utah for spring break this year pick up “The Rosefields of Zion”. It’s a page-turner and it will make you appreciate beautiful Zion National Park even more.

PHOTO PATROL 2014

This is Carlos and Valeria Domingues reading the Serve Daily, while enjoying a nice sunny day, in Praia Grande, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Praia Grande was first colonized by the Portuguese in 1532. This photo was taken, not far from the first village established in Praia Grande, named St. Vincent. Praia Grande is a large tourist area for the big metropolitan City of Sao Paulo. Right now, the beach may look calm, but within a week or two, this same area, will be extremely full of beach bathers coming to soak in the sun and have some fun for the Carnival Festivities.

Here’s Makiah, Valerie and Aubrey Herrin, in Mesquite, NV, with their copy of the Serve Daily. These girls love to stay informed and up to date on their local happenings. Even when they’re out and about, this time traveling for a soccer tournament, they take their copy of Serve Daily with them.

A Thankless Job? Well, Perhaps...

The importance of having an organized creative workspace

We all know that civilizations leave their footprint and legacy to future generations by the art they produce. Great art, in all its various mediums, has the ability to lift the human spirit to new heights of understanding, appreciation, and reverence for the inherent beauty in life.

And indeed, on a more personal level, as the noted local landscape painter, John Hafen stated clear back in 1909; “The influence of art is powerful in shaping our lives for a higher appreciation of the creations of our God, that we cannot afford to neglect an acquaintance with it. WE SHOULD BE AS EAGER FOR IT’S COMPANIONSHIP IN OUR HOMES AS WE ARE EAGER FOR CHAIRS TO SIT UPON, OR FOR FOOD TO SUSTAIN OUR LIVES ……”

Being a local artist, and having set up camp in the valley over 30 years ago - I’ve often pondered “OUR CREATIVE SPACE” as individuals, as a community, and as a planet.

I believe many times we are so busy in the hubbub of life that we become oblivious to our surroundings and how powerful that environment can be upon us.

As a sculptor I’m reminded of it every time I begin a new piece. Many times that new work of art is birthed at night after processing the previous days activities or having spent many

days contemplating a concept. I read recently that our brain’s activity works in three basics steps: SATURATE INCUBATE ILLUMINATE. So when that ‘illumination’ strikes, I scurry into my studio,grab a gob of moldable, plasticine clay, and in a few hours form a masterpiece! Right? Well, not exactly .....I do rush to the studio, but then something happens ... I start to clean! I go on a cleaning and organizing campaign from the past few weeks of massive chaos and apparent confusion. At least that’s the way the studio appears to my wife and visitors, as there are books and reference material and “stuff” strewn everywhere! ..... even though it’s all organized in my mind. I’ve seen this pattern so often that I now accept it as part of the creative process. In order to create that next ‘masterpiece’’, I need a perfectly clean, organized ‘CREATIVE SPACE’. I need a clean slate, and that environment has to be just right. Everything put in its place, so I can quickly grab the tools and resources needed.

And in a few weeks or months I can start the process all over again !

Our CREATIVE SPACE is important!

hen it comes to children, gratitude seems to be suspiciously absent at times. Young ones dress in their mostly clean jeans and t-shirts, laundered and mated socks and their light-up shoes mom found for them last night. They snarf breakfast, grab their lunches and Dora backpacks and hurry off to school with a brief “Bye, Mom!” Since they usually have all of their needs met, and most of their wants, what reason would they have to stop and thank the person or persons through which they received the goods? After all, everything they have needed has been there before and besides, isn’t it part of the parent’s job to make sure their offspring are provided for? In fact, if feedback is forthcoming at all, it is most likely to be a complaint about how Mom and Dad’s offerings do not measure up to expectations. At times this lack of appreciation can be discouraging, especially to parents exhausted by efforts to please children in their care. Do not despair! Gratitude is indeed there, if well hidden and cleverly disguised. You just need to know where to look for it or how to decipher the code.

Of course, there are the obvious shows of appreciation – a hug at a time you are struggling to hold it together; pictures drawn in crayon and proudly offered in pudgy, grime coated hands; the “I love you Mommy!” right when you were about to get after her for the eggs on the floor; and his apparent attempts to please you, which often end up as disasters (No, cattails do not cook up that well, in spite of popular belief. They do float all over the house sticking to your skirt and the new curtains, however.) Consider the smiles from the stage as your little girl spots you in the audience and beams at your approval. And see, too, the gratitude in your son’s “See!” when his homework blocks your view of the dishes you are trying to wash. He is grateful that you will celebrate his successes with him and encourage

him on to increased excellence.

Some forms of children’s gratitude are more subtle. Have you ever had your child wake up in the night and cry out for you? Who does your teenager look for as soon as he walks in the door? Why does your daughter borrow your things and forget to return them? When the night stillness is broken by a cry for help, you can be grateful! Grateful that your child knows he can turn to you in times of pain or fear. His looking to you for comfort is his way of trusting you and showing he is grateful for your love in times past. Even if your teen seeks for you to order a snack, his coming to you is a subtle message of thanks – a Thank You for being home when he gets there, and even a Thank You for providing edible sustenance.

Mostly edible, most days, that is.

Other childish expressions of gratitude may be equally disguised: a refusal to sit on anyone’s lap but yours, reluctance to leave you alone and get on with homework, or even mimicking your less attractive moments. And what about his crushing disappointment when he failed to make that home run for you? Each time your son or daughter expresses a desire to please or frustration at not measuring up, this is child code for “I love you so much, I’m sorry I’m not better. Thank You for loving me anyway! ” Most days our children forget to thank the ones who provide and love and care for them.

Some days parents forget to appreciate their children and let them know they are glad to have them around. But, if Moms and Dads pay attention, they can see the gratitude felt in the little things their children do. And the more often we notice, the more often we express our appreciation to our young ones for their efforts and love, the more they will see our example and return the favor some day.

New Giant Bubble Toy Wands Can Create Bubbles up to 40-Feet Long

By Dee Fullerton Wonki Toys LLC, a New Utah Toy Maker, Launches New Giant Bubble-Making Kit That Allows Users to Create Enormous, LongLasting Bubbles and Announces CrowdFunding Campaign on Kickstarter.com The Wonki Wands bubble kit includes two patent-pending Wonki Wands and a bottle of Wonki Bubble Potion, a special, proprietary solution that allows bubble lovers to create enormous, long-lasting bubbles. The owners of Wonki Toys LLC and the product’s inventors are the wife and husband team of Dee Loveless and Roger Fullerton.

They now believe they have created the best bubble blowing toy on the market. “I’ve always loved blowing bubbles with my children and grandchildren, but this is a completely different experience,” said Dee Loveless. “I haven’t seen anything like it. Our bubbles are so big and so

fun. Everywhere we take them people flock to see the enormous bubbles. We want everyone to experience the same kind of joy we do every time we go bubbling.”

After months of development, Loveless and Fullerton have perfected their product, filed for a patent, and passed safety testing at a CPSCaccredited testing lab. And now Wonki Toys is now ready to purchase the first production run. The company launched their Kickstarter campaign to help them fund a bottling plant and the first production run.

“We are ready to go,” said Fullerton. “We have put months of work into getting Wonki Wands to where are they are now, and we are so excited to see the joy and laughter they will bring to kids and families. That’s why we are doing this.”

After the completion of the Kickstarter campaign, Wonki Toys will begin selling Wonki Wands bubble kits and replacement bottles of Wonki Bubble Potion on its web site: http://www.wonkitoys.com.
