Spanish Salt project celebrates local farming families By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily
Good men and women who work the land and pass it down for generations are commonly called, "the salt of the earth." Spanish Fork artist Sean Diediker aims to preserve their stories and celebrate their way of life with his new project, "Spanish Salt." Diediker described the project saying, "I want to document those that were here long before the Walmart’s and fast food chains. Those who can’t recall the original color of their boots. Those who take pride in growing on their own land and successfully pass that mantle on to their children. Those that simply won’t sell. "It was disheartening to see the “future subdivision” signs recently go up in our beloved river bottoms, and I fear it’s only a matter of time until we become just like every other strip mall suburb. My hat is off to those farmers who stand bold, and guard us from that seeming inevitable fate. You are the Salt." Spanish Salt will consist of a series of artistic photographs by Diediker of multigenerational farming and ranching families and a write-up of their stories by his partner Jessica Crandall. The couple is looking for families to feature in the collection. When Diediker presented his idea, Crandall says she loved it and wanted to get onboard right away. Crandall grew up in Spanish Fork and her family goes back generations in the area on both sides. "I've always loved it," she said. "I lived away for 12 years and it's been nice to come back." While Diediker will take the portraits, Crandall will interview the families to tell their story. Diediker is an artist who uses travel as his inspiration, creating paintings based on his experiences in the places he visits. "But I've never done anything to celebrate this region," he said. Diediker goes walking in the river bottoms daily. "It's my meditation," he said. Over time he's noticed the bluffs around Spanish Fork and now the river bottoms growing smaller and smaller. He wants to celebrate the people who work the land before it's gone. "This is their heritage. They've worked
this land since they got here and passed this on to their kids," he said. Diediker called the project "a time capsule for future generations." When the collection is finished, the Diediker and Crandall will put on a local exhibit. The families, though, will always have the story and photo to share with their children and grandchildren. Growing up in Southern California, Diediker watched the farmland in that area disappear and knows it will someday be gone in Spanish Fork as well. He wants to document the people who work the land while they're still there. "Once it's gone, it never gets back to that virginal land," he said. "Celebrate it while it's here because once it's gone, you can't get it back." If you, or someone you know are multi-generational farmers or ranchers who would be interested in participating in "Spanish Salt", please contact seandiediker@gmail.com.

Thankful for a way to share the memories By Katie Zackrison for Serve Daily One of the biggest reasons I was drawn to intern with My Story Matters was because of the incredible opportunity I would have to work with individual families to record such touching stories of their darling children. When I was asked to work with Elizabeth on the book she was writing for her son, I had no idea the profound impact it would have on my life. What started as a simple email, resulted in a dear friendship, a special journey, and a book to be treasured forever. The first email I exchanged with Elizabeth was in January of this year. She expressed her interest in working with My Story Matters and we decided to meet in person. She spent a few hours introducing me to her son, Jesse, by showing me his pictures and sharing with me the story of his life. Since Jesse was 16 when he passed away, we didn't have any book templates created for older children. I was able to work closely with Elizabeth to customize every page in her book. We spent hours each week personalizing her book to the exact vision she carried in her mind. She sent me hundreds of pictures, edited the stories by my side, and shared tears with me as we remembered Jesse. I can't describe the joy we felt as we finished the last page. It was quite a feeling of accomplishment for an even greater cause. As I worked on this book, I became
invested in the story. I felt like I really knew Jesse. I was motivated by a sense of urgency to record his life in a way in which he could be remembered forever. Elizabeth and I finished Jesse's book in late July. It may have taken us months, but it was nothing short of a labor of love. I truly learned the power in writing, and I know firsthand the way which stories can shape and mold your life. Because of that power, lives are brought together like Elizabeth and me, and memories are created that will always be cherished. We delivered Jesse’s book to his family the day they were allowed back into their home after being evacuated in Woodland Hills because of the fires. Elizabeth shares, “It was so good to go through the experience of creating this book to remember Jesse by. My children who have seen it so far love all the pictures of Jesse in one place. I immediately took the book on tour as I visited my children and grandchildren to share Jesse’s story with them. It was very therapeutic and healing to put the book together.” My Story Matters Angel storybooks honor the journeys of these precious children who have left life young, while providing comfort and perspective for families who have lost a child. If you or someone you know has lost a child you can nominate them to receive this gift of story, which is free of charge to the family, at www.mystorymatters. org/nominate.

Jesse's Light By Jacob Gossner for Serve Daily
The Angel Series at My Story Matters is dedicated to children who left this life much too soon. We work with families to tell the life story of their child who has passed away. Recently we worked with Elizabeth to tell Jesse’s story. You can read more about that process in another article in this issue of Serve Daily. Below, you will read an excerpt of Jesse’s priceless story, told from the perspective of his mother. Jesse was a wonderful surprise. He was born only 13 months after our seventh child. He came at a very busy, in fact, you could say, a rather crazy, time. Jesse was born the week before Christmas Eve. He came home from the hospital in a Christmas stocking. He was the best gift we got that year. Jesse wrote his mom’s biography when he was in 2nd grade. He drew the cutest pictures to go along with the story. Jesse was always a lot of fun. He liked to joke and play around. He loved to make others laugh, and he often played pranks. Jesse loved people and had a lot of friends. His teachers always said they enjoyed having him in class and that he entertained everyone. One of my favorite memories of Jesse and Stefen is going with their friends late one night to Wal-Mart in Payson to buy the game “Rock Band.” I would sometimes play with Jesse and his friends. Jesse would play the drums a lot, and he was really good. We had so much fun! Jesse had a talent for self-acceptance, which led to acceptance of others. He had a lot of friends because he loved everyone and everyone loved him. He had really great artistic abilities as well. The year before he passed away, we got Jesse a guitar. He was enjoying learning to play.
Teen life-flighted after accident By Kjirstin Youngberg for Serve Daily A teen was life-flighted to the hospital after his motorcycle hit a car on Red Barn Road in Springville on October 5. Eighteen-year-old Will Hautz was northwest bound on Red Barn Road. A tall vinyl fence obstructed his view of southeast traffic on the curve and he did not see the SUV until it was too late.
Jesse Allen Jesse had almost gotten his Eagle Scout award when he passed away, and he received an honorary Eagle after his death. A few weeks before Jesse passed away, he got his sister Audri a miniature rose for her birthday. Our last day with Jesse was Sunday, July 4. Losing Jesse was the hardest thing we have ever gone through. It was hard not to have any good-byes. We all spoke at Jesse’s funeral. We wanted to share how Jesse’s life had blessed our family and our lives. At his funeral, we shared Marianne Williamson’s poem, “Our Greatest Fear.” It talks about how as we have the courage to let our light shine, we help other people to do the same. Jesse did that - for everyone who knew him. Upon receipt of Jesse’s book, Jesse’s sister posted, “My mom put together a beautiful book recently, full of memories and stories from Jesse’s life. This one is just for our family, which is a giant blessing she did that for us.” To nominate a family to tell their child’s story go to www.mystorymatters. org/nominate.
There was no time to stop. He laid the bike horizontally and hit the car. He was wearing a helmet. Witnesses on the scene said he was conscious, but could not move his legs. Neighbors John and Ann Stone said people are constantly speeding on that street, and though the fence is not supposed to be so tall as to obstruct the view, it is, and they were not surprised to see this happen.

Mt. Nebo Sons of Utah Pioneers By LaRon Taylor for Serve Daily
Celebrating the Little Things in Life Banquet space for weddings, birthdays, and corporate events.
The Mt. Nebo Chapter of the Sons of Utah Pioneers had an interesting evening with wives and guests last month. After enjoying an amazing catered meal, they enjoyed an informative presentation by Chris Baird. He is owner & producer of the Serve Daily monthly newspaper. The thing that is different about his paper is that it doesn’t include stories of bad news like most other papers do. Instead, he has chosen to use his paper to report
good things happening in the community, and his sole income from the paper is from businesses that advertise there. Not only does the paper only contain good news, but it is also free to the public. Chris brought his library of past newspapers and talked about some of his favorite experiences with his company. The Mt. Nebo Chapter of the Sons of Utah Pioneers welcomes anyone wishing to join the organization. They have monthly dinner meetings and periodic treks to areas of historical interest in Utah.

THOUGHTS ON ZION
Babylon and Zion as Opposites
By Jesse Fisher for Serve Daily Although it doesn’t appear to have helped my career much, studying Mathematics at BYU did actually benefit me — I learned deductive reasoning. “If all frogs are green” and “Johnny has a frog”, then we can deduce “Johnny’s frog must be green”. Simple logic. Now let’s apply the same deductive reasoning to the topic of this column, Zion, and see what happens. President Benson said that “Pride is the great stumbling block to Zion.” And Elder D. Todd Christopherson said, “The antithesis and antagonist of Zion is Babylon”, which we’ll simplify here as “Babylon is the opposite of Zion.” It should also be obvious that the opposite of a stumbling block is a stepping-stone; one limits progress, and the other assists it. And, the opposite of pride, of course, is humility. So, if we assume that: • Pride is the great stumbling block to Zion, • Babylon is the opposite of Zion, • The opposite of a stumbling block is a steppingstone, and • The opposite of pride is humility… Then, we can deduce the following: • Pride is the great steppingstone to Babylon. • Humility is the great steppingstone to Zion, and • Humility is the great stumbling block of Babylon. The tricky thing about deductive rea-
soning is that just because a deduction follows logically does not necessarily mean it is true. It may only be a valid conclusion. It may also be false if one or more of the given assumptions upon which the conclusion is being made is false. For example, our first deduction above, “Johnny’s frog must be green” may actually be false, given that all frogs, in fact, aren’t green. In short, if we make false assumptions, our conclusions are likely to be false as well. I first made these deductions about 5 years ago, and have yet to find anything that contradicts them in the writings of the prophets and apostles, ancient or modern. I believe that both my assumptions and the deductions that spring from them are both valid and true. If you want to try your hand at applying deductive reasoning to the subject, you may learn a few interesting things. Sit down with a copy of President Ezra Taft Benson’s landmark talk, “Beware of Pride.” Extract from it simple statements concerning pride, such as, “Pride is essentially competitive in nature” and “Pride leads to national destruction.” Then, substitute an even number of terms in each statement with their opposites and ask yourself if the results are true. For example, “Pride is essentially competitive in nature” turns into “Humility is essentially cooperative in nature.” Does that ring true? Does it fit with the scriptures? What about, “Humility leads to national prosperity.”? This exercise brought me to a greater understanding of both pride and humility; I believe it will do the same for the reader who makes the effort.

Springville Power celebrated Getting educated on school records its 15th Public Power Week
GINNY’S GENEALOGICAL GEMS Old report cards can be a wealth of information.
By Ginny Ackerson for Serve Daily A valuable resource for genealogists, which is often overlooked, are school records. These can include year books, enrollment papers, attendance rolls, report cards, student newspapers and annual reports. Yearbooks can help estimate ages and most will have pictures of the students. Often, several children from your family may be in the same book. Enrollment papers or cards usually include the child’s name, age or birthdate, grade, address and parent name. Using this information, you can make a pretty good family profile. Attendance rolls, or censuses, contain almost the same information with the addition of recording the days attended. Report cards usually have a parent’s signature, grade and age. It is interesting to note the different types of classes each grade requires. Student newspapers include accomplishments, contests, sports, elections and information on teachers. Annual reports are created by the district superintendents and given to the board of education. Any honors, perfect attendance, lists of graduates, certificates awarded or teacher assignments are reported here. Locating these records can be as easy as looking in your closet or boxes of old papers. Ask your older relatives if they kept anything from their school days. The school, school board or the district may have copies of these records available as might public libraries.
Historical and genealogical societies may have school records in their collections. Many universities and local colleges have a special collections area where school records may reside. They may also have Alumni Associations that keep biographies and updates on their graduates. State Libraries and Archives frequently collect school records as school boards deposit the records when their storage facilities fill or when the records age out. In this wonderful electronic age, many of these records are in online databases. One of the most notable collections is at Ancestry.com. Use the card catalog to find what school records are available in the area you are researching. You can also do a Google search using the exact terms mentioned above and include the county or school district name in the search. Some excellent articles on school records are at: https://www.4yourfamilystory.com/ blog/11-places-to-find-your-ancestorsschool-records https://lisalisson.com/2016/08/04/ getting-started-with-school-records-for-genealogy-research/ https://blog.findmypast.com/how-schoolrecords-can-help-you-with-your-genealogy-research-2017591639.html https://lisalouisecooke.com/2016/08/31/ school-records-for-genealogy/ https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/ Category:School_records https://abundantgenealogy.com/archive-lady-school-records-unschooled/ https://www.genealogytoday.com/articles/reader.mv?ID=3965

The first week of October is the national recognition of community owned electric utilities, also known as Public Power Week. Springville City Power Department is proud to be one of more than 2,000 public power utilities that collectively provide electricity to more than 49 million people across the country. This year, Springville Power celebrated its 15th annual Public Power Week from September 23 - September 29, 2018. As part of this annual event Power Staff hosted a field trip to the power facilities for local 5th grade students, teachers, and parent helpers. Throughout the week students learned about Electric Theory, Electric Generation and Electrical Safety. Students were welcomed into Springville Power’s Mad Scientist Lab. The lab teaches the students how electricity is made. Staff used a Van De Graaff Generator to teach about static electricity, a magnet to teach about polarization, and a hands on display allowing the students to feel the difficulty of manipulating items
while wearing Linemen gloves. Staff has also created a student powered generation bike to demonstrate generation on a personal level and the need for power conservation. Whitehead Power Plant Staff took students on a tour of the generation facilities, showcasing the City owned generators. Students learned how power is made then sent out onto the electrical grid, eventually being delivered to their homes. The complex computer system used to control many aspects of the electric system and City water wells were also showcased. The Linemen and Electricians set-up and operated an electrical safety trailer to demonstrate to the students the dangerous nature of electricity. Students learned visually about why contacting Blue Stakes (811) before you dig is the safe option, the purpose of a GFCI outlet near water, why not to pick up lines laying on the ground, not to sit on electric equipment, and how to safely exit the car if involved in an accident with a power pole.

EDUCATION
Spanish Fork High and Payson High stand united By Taylor John Gordon for Serve Daily “United We Stand, Divided We Fall” -Aesop On September 28 the mighty Spanish Fork Dons were to face off against one of their most prominent rival schools, the Payson Lions. The intensity between our two teams and student sections can be rivaled by little or none. Many times in the past, rivalries such as this have led to bad blood between the schools of Nebo School District. As we debated over which dress up theme to choose for the upcoming game, the idea of a “U.S.A.” theme arose and we all loved it. We began making posters and publicizing for the theme as well as the game. A few days later, we were informed that Payson’s Student Council had chosen the same “U.S.A.” theme. Usually, we would instantly change our theme in order to keep from matching with the other team and causing confusion. But something was different about this game. Through Instagram, we learned that Payson planned on honoring the firefighters before the start of the game. Those firefighters have worked day in and day out to keep the people, and the city they love safe. We decided we would join Payson in honoring these firefighters and keep our “U.S.A.” theme for the game. Not long after this, my good friend, the Student Body President for Payson High School, Logan Bennett, contacted and notified me that they would be having a tailgate barbeque before the game. He said our entire council is welcome and that he would love to see us there. It was so good to see the unity of two schools coming together. So I spread the word to our Student Council, and many of us went! It was honestly so good to get to know them better and become great friends. Not to mention the hot dogs were great! Once the game started, everyone was happy and cheering. It was one of the biggest crowds we have ever had to an away game. At one point a couple of
students from their section came over to ours and led a cheer or two. It was just a game that was all about friendship. When halftime was coming to a close, Payson’s student section began to line up by the entrance to the field in order to welcome their team back on. Many of my friends and I decided to join them. Our amazing administrator Jolynn Ford saw us on the move and thought we were on our way to cause trouble. We explained that we just wanted to cheer on the two teams with our friends. She smiled and let us go. When the Payson players marched onto the field, it didn’t matter that they weren’t our team, we cheered right by Logan’s side. When the Dons thundered out, Logan and his fellow students cheered just as we did for them. I can honestly say it was one of the best games I’ve ever been to. Not because of how amazing both teams played (which was indeed outstanding). But because of the unity between our schools. After the game, I noticed both ours and Payson’s student section had met halfway across the field and were talking with old friends from sports, clubs, or organizations. We were just one big happy Nebo family! Logan then invited any Don who wanted, to attend Payson’s post-game ritual at McDonalds, sadly I wasn’t able to go. But it was the thought that counted. I am truly so proud of how both of our schools acted, I have never seen such a friendship between schools in any instance. Because of this, I have made many friends which I will continue to stay in touch with. And it is my hope that as a whole, we have helped the future of not only our two schools but all of Nebo. High School rivalries aren’t about painting “The Rock” green or painting the “P” red. They are about building lasting friendships, sharing experiences that will last a lifetime, and engaging in active competition. I love my school and I love the schools we rival with. And I am so grateful to be in the position I am because I get to see the amazing things my fellow misunder-

Nebo teacher chosen for Smithsonian Teacher Innovator Institute program By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily
Amy Ollerton, Visual Art teacher at Mapleton Junior High School in Nebo School District, participated in the Teacher Innovator Institute at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. Amy Ollerton was one of thirty middle-school educators from across the country chosen to participate in the twoweek program. The Teacher Innovator Institute instructs educators on how to bring the museum experience into their classrooms by connecting informal STEM education with genuine learning. With an emphasis on providing authentic learning, the teachers participated in group work, attended museums, learned about space, and did many hands-on activities. Amy Ollerton said of the conference, “We met with area experts and went to seminars and talked about education. We saw IMAX movies about space, spent time at the Udvar-Hazy wing of the Smithsonian, and even went indoor skydiving.” During the course of the program, participants are required to propose an independent project and see it through
to completion. Amy Ollerton proposed a project called “Petroglyphs on Mars”. Amy said, “I ask students to imagine that humans have colonized Mars and that we decided to create a visual record of life on earth. We show the ideas through symbols carved into plaster, clay, or drawn on paper.” Students have represented life on earth through stories from world history, themes about racism, tales about why humans left earth, and stories from personal history. Amy Ollerton learned a lot at the Teacher Innovator Institute at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. Amy said, “I learned…great ways to incorporate STEM with hands-on projects. I learned about doing research at the National Archives, as well as the archives of the National Air and Space Museum. I also got a researcher card at the Library of Congress.” Amy Ollerton will continue what she learned at the conference by participating in video-chats with Teacher Innovator Institute leaders, presenting at various professional development sessions, creating curriculum and activities for a new cohort, and going back to Washington D.C. over the next two summers.

Nebo heroes caught making a difference By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily Thank you to all first responders and others that helped our communities and students throughout the three weeks of fire and now the flooding that continues to be a threat in Woodland Hills, Elk Ridge, Spring Lake, Santaquin, and Covered Bridge. This photo caught some of our own
Nebo students helping families in need. The MMHS defensive football team, led by Coach Jake Grosebeck & Coach Jerry Cloward, came to the aid of a neighborhood affected by the potential flood. The defensive football team, during their regular practice, helped carry and place over 2,000 sandbags to divert the flooding from the burn scars. Thank you to our students and coaches from all over the valley that stepped up and helped our communities in need.

SFHS Girls Soccer seniors continue to give back By Becki Pace for Serve Daily Each year, graduating players from the Spanish Fork High School Girls Soccer team are challenged to do something that will enhance and leave SFHS a better place than when they arrived. Coach Shane Ferrin said, “Doing service projects demonstrates that our girls care about this program and feel strongly about leaving a positive legacy.” The project this year combined a need with creativity. Barrels were purchased and then turned into trash cans for use at the soccer field. Each barrel was painted with artwork reflecting Spanish Fork High School and the soccer program. The
bright cans look great and help encourage the fans and visitors to keep the field area clean. “Creating the trash barrels was a simple way to show our school pride and celebrate the time we enjoyed being part of the soccer team,” said Megan Hansen. “As Seniors, next year we all will have moved on but we now leave behind something that shows we made memories and remember life lessons learned here.” Coach Ferrin concludes, “We have a remarkable group of seniors again this year. We are grateful for the impact for good that these young women make both on and off the field. Their willingness to give back to this program is something our school and community can be proud of.”

Grants Awarded in October by the Nebo Education Foundation By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily The Nebo Education Foundation is composed of 20 volunteer board members who live in cities serviced by Nebo School District. Each month, the foundation meets to discuss grant requests and other ways to raise money for the continual improvement of Nebo School District. For the month of October, there were many teachers who submitted requests for grant money to better their classrooms and/or school as a whole. Congratulations to the following teachers who received grants from the Nebo Education Foundation! These teachers continually benefit our district with their service to their students. “That’s what the foundation is all about – to give our students the best educational opportunities possible through classroom grants,” said Lana Hiskey, executive director. Congratulations to the following teachers that continue to inspire the lives of students. Maple Ridge Elementary Bethany Brown “We are so happy to have received a grant through the Nebo Foundation. I will be using the money granted for literacy item for my second grade classroom. I will update my class library. After teaching kindergarten the past 10 years, I am in desperate need of chapter books for my students. Students had fun writing their wish list of books today. I will also use the money for book boxes for students to store their supplies during our ‘Daily 5' literacy block. Thanks again for visit and funds to help me be the most effective teacher possible,” said Bethany Brown, second-grade teacher at Maple Ridge. Sierra Bonita Elementary Sue Leber “Thank you so much for awarding our class the grant! I really appreciate you choosing to use the funds to help our classroom. Receiving the funds from the Nebo Foundation will put more books in the hands of my students. New and struggling readers can greatly benefit by having books that are motivating and interesting to them. Using the money from this grant I will be able to diversify my class-

Sierra Bonita Elementary Karilyn Died “It is with great appreciation that I write to you concerning the grant of $468 for Chromebooks that you awarded my third-grade classroom. With the grant, my students will have more opportunities to have hands-on learning. My students love to use Chromebooks to enhance their learning in content and technology skills. The students have used them in several curriculum areas. One of my student's favorite usage has been Adobe Spark, which was introduced to the classroom by one of the new technology coaches. They were taught how to create a short All About Me video using Adobe Spark. We then created another short video of the weekly vocabulary words. The students have also use the Chromebooks for the opportunity to research the current news using Scholastic News. They have discovered connections to their personal lives through the world wide web. They have loved relating the news to them and their experiences. Our classroom has

We are grateful for a foundation that supports teachers, but more importantly, supports the students. Thanks again for generous funding to buy Chromebooks for our classroom.” Sage Creek Elementary Kelli Giles “I am so excited to receive the grant from Nebo Education Foundation. This grant helped me purchase Drums Alive DRUMTASTIC. I do not believe that when children come to school they need to sit still and listen. I believe that children learn through engaged, active, student centered activities. Drums Alive gives us that opportunity. In our classroom, we will be adding rhyme and rhythm to our HD Word, math, spelling, reading and much, much more. Thank you so much,” said Kelli Giles, second-grade teacher at Sage Creek Elementary.

Explore, discover, create at the ALC By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily “Explore, discover, and create” is the mission at the Advanced Learning Center, or ALC, in Nebo School District. The Advanced Learning Center, or ALC, offers college and career-readiness courses to high school students in Nebo School District. The ALC allows students to take college classes while being simultaneously enrolled in their resident high school. The ALC offers both concurrent enrollment and Utah Valley University (UVU) live-interactive courses. Concurrent enrollment (CE) allows students to earn both college credit and high school credit concurrently. CE classes are taught face-to-face by university-approved high school professors using college curriculum. High school students may receive all or part of an associate degree through concurrent enrollment classes. UVU live-interactive courses are taught by UVU professors through a live broadcast to the ALC. There are over 25 UVU live-interactive courses offered, and it is necessary for students to take a UVU live-interactive course to complete an associate degree in high school. Course categories offered at the ALC include aviation technology, building construction, business management, computer programming, criminal justice, information technology, digital media, elementary teacher education, health science, engineering and technology, and early college core classes. The ALC started functioning in the fall 2012 and is starting its second year in its new Salem location. Over 1175 students are enrolled at the ALC. Tanner Peterson, a first-year student at
the ALC, said, “The ALC has a hands-on approach to learning, more than normal education. The ALC is specialized and specific. At your residential high school, when you are starting out, you take [classes] that are really general. When you come to the ALC, you really can do exactly what you want and what you are interested in.” Emily Waite, a first-year student and Teacher’s Assistant at the ALC, loves the positive environment. “Everybody here is so happy to be here; no one is ever negative. Everybody is so welcoming.” Hayden Heaton, a third-year student said, “All of the high schools feed into the ALC. So, you get to meet a lot of new people. You get to meet new friends from everywhere. The teachers are fully involved, they love the students, the put in a lot of time and effort because they realize the students are here to learn.” JT Nebeker is a third-year student at the ALC who will be graduating with his associates in Spring 2019. When asked what he likes about the ALC, JT responded, “The teachers really interact with the students. After many classes, I just talk to the teachers.” Everything the ALC offers is for the students. The ALC has a “flight simulator, tons of computers, laptops, TVs, and it is all for the students.” CiCi Keetch, primarily a psychology teacher, has taught at the ALC since it opened. “It is exciting to see kids from different schools have the opportunity to learn with other kids who are college-bound, and to see that there is not one stereotype for being college-bound.” CiCi continued, “We try to give [students] the full college experience as far as deadlines and expectations, but at the same time, they are able to have a lot more discussion and a lot…more interaction than

Being over CAPS, Rhonda Hair provides students with professional opportunities relevant to their area of study. These professional opportunities include working with clients to create something deliverable or granting students the opportunity to be mentored by professionals from the community. Ben Ford, Principal at the Advanced
Learning Center, encourages all students to come and see the ALC. By taking courses at the ALC, students can save up to 98 percent of college tuition, explore college careers, attend advanced courses, and learn in a motivated, professional environment. In addition, the ALC accelerates education by offering both high school and college credit concurrently. If a student is interested in taking classes at the Advanced Learning Center, they are strongly encouraged to talk to their current high school counselor.

First-graders at Canyon Elementary school displayed their love for the USA at Nebo School District’s October Board Meeting. Penny McEntire, Literacy Specialist at Canyon Elementary, talked about the positive impact Tier II literacy programs have made in their school. With 50 students currently in need of Tier II instruction at Canyon Elementary, school technicians have helped students through research-based instruction and through small group intervention. Tier II literacy instruction includes having students participate in rereading previous texts for fluency, word work and comprehension work, small group guided writings, and experience with new texts. As a result of the instruction, Pre and Level A readers are transitioning out at a higher rate than before.

A year and a half ago, Spanish Fork’s Brett Griffiths’ dream came true: to completely turn on its head the way addiction recovery is addressed. Instead of focusing on insurance payouts or just one aspect of recovery, Griffiths’ Provo non-profit, Building Beginnings, which he started in 2017 with Ryan Hymas, is using a threepronged approach to address the real issues for a whole recovery. The three aspects involve helping clients obtain employment in the construction industry, treatment, and housing. Griffiths says recovery is impossible if any of these three things are left unaddressed. Their goal is for people to become self-sufficient. “We’ve got to teach them how to be the best employees so they’re hirable,” Griffiths says. They have had 600 people come through the program. Griffiths is proud of the good that has taken place. “We have a sixty-eight percent success rate of clients who have stayed sober for over a year.” Insurance companies often only pay for thirty days in addiction recovery treatment. But no one recovers fully in thirty days. In contrast, Building Beginnings is an uplifting, tight-knit, practical resource where addicts can live, work, and heal together. One of the biggest ways Building Beginnings assists their clients is through transportation. They employ four fulltime drivers who work around the clock helping recovering addicts get to and from work and treatment. “Many addicts don’t have driver’s licenses, so keeping a
job and staying consistent with treatment is hard if they don’t have rides,” Griffiths says. Building Beginnings employs four counselors and has an Intense Outpatient Program and a General Outpatient Program. The non-profit also provides a variety of housing: female sober living, male sober living, employee housing, and family living. One of the essential components of true recovery is service. Building Beginnings often tells their clients: “God doesn’t help those who help themselves. God helps those who help others.” They are actively engaged in community and graffiti cleanup. The thing that takes the most time for Griffiths and Hymas is finding more remodeling contracts and companies to work for. But whatever they are doing, their passion for this work is clear. Their latest endeavor is creating a trade school within their program, which will allow their clients to obtain a trade license, opening many more employment opportunities. The missing piece, though, is community involvement. Building Beginnings simply cannot fulfill its long-term mission without help. Donations are easily and securely accepted at their Web site, www.bbrecovery.net. If you can’t donate money, stop by their Provo office, 286 S. 600 E. Suite A, and drop off work boots, other construction apparel, and basic hygiene items. Furniture stores are in a unique position to offer great help; by donating furniture floor samples, Building Beginnings can furnish the housing they provide to their clients.

Celebrate the Arts concert promotes music, careers in arts By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily Spanish Fork’s Angelus Theater was packed to capacity on Wednesday, October 3 as it hosted the second ever Celebrate the Arts concert. The event, presented by Prime Mortgage Lending, Inc. and the Driggs Mortgage Team, promotes the arts in South Utah County. But Gregg Driggs, from Prime Mortgage Lending, Inc. also wanted to convey to those in the audience that more kids can and should choose the arts as their career. Contrary to what some might think, “there’s money to be made in the arts, and that’s what we want to show with tonight’s concert.” Katie Dellenbach Higley, of Spanish Fork and from American Idol fame, opened the night on the piano, playing two original songs before a last-minute decision to add a little song her grandmother used to sing. The song emphasized the concept that all the love that you give eventually returns back to you. It was the perfect segue way to the crowd favorite “This is Me” from The Greatest Showman The Spanish Fork High School Elite Orchestra, directed by the dynamic Angela Harman, played two pieces—both well received, yet vastly different. The elegant “Hallelujah” was followed by crowd pleaser “Downtown Funk” by Michael Hopkins. Headlining the event was the band Delphi Freeman, from San Francisco. The sibling group sings indie pop. In September 2017, Gregg Driggs was traveling

Some particularly memorable tracks included “Air You Breathe,” “Who Am I,” and “Infinity,” as well as “Lost Coast,” which Delphi wrote around the time her grandmother lost both her brother and husband. Many of their songs can be found on their 2017 album, Audio Cinema. Delphi’s brother, James, added a deeper
resonance to the sound with his bass guitar, and percussionist and vocalist Luke played the cajon, which was almost hypnotic to watch.

A Challenging Hunt By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily When a sportsman talks about a challenging hunt you are normally dealing with issues of rugged terrain or bad weather. When Kenneth Vaughn of the Chairbound Sportsman Organization talks about a challenging hunt it is about the special arrangements and volunteers needed to make a hunt possible for a handicapped person. They like to experience the outdoors and the experience of hunting like the rest of us who are not as physically challenged. One such hunt occurred a few weeks ago for Kyle Sorenson. Kyle is a 22-year-old quadriplegic, paralyzed below the neck from a car accident that occurred 3 days before his 8th birthday. He uses a ventilator and speaks well with a good memory. His cousin Jason Peel has been an active hunter despite a work injury that left him a paraplegic for the past 18 years since the accident. Having participated with many outdoor adventures with the Chairbound Sportsman organization Jason wanted Kyle to experience a hunt. Arrangements were made for a ram sheep hunt on the ranch property of Dave Shepard near Levan, Utah. This was Jason’s first time to hunt for ram sheep. On the morning of the hunt, Kyle was
accompanied by his dad Gary Sorenson and nurse Mario. Tony Thurber provided a 4 seat ATV and Todd Branin provided a “puff trigger device” to fire the rifle. This is a device that attaches by a Velcro strap to the rifle and electrically pulls the trigger activated by Kyle sucking on a tube (despite the fact the device is called a puff trigger). It took a while to get everything set up with the triggering device which is battery powered. After everything was rigged up Kyle and Jason did some impressive target practicing. Then it was off in a small convoy of ATVs to venture up the mountain looking for ram sheep. It is called a hunt because it took a while to locate the game. Then while the gun was being set up, the pair of rams went out of sight in a ravine. Now more searching and waiting, but the gun and triggering device were ready. Then, the sheep were spotted again. After waiting for the best shot both Kyle and Jason got a ram sheep. The animals were loaded into a couple ATVs and it was back to the initial staging area for a lunch prepared by the Shepard family. After the event, Kyle’s dad wrote a note to Kenneth Vaughn that Kyle was beaming from ear to ear with a big smile and he can’t stop talking about it. Now he wants to go again. He was thankful for what the Chairbound Sportsman Organization does. It gives new meaning to a challeng-

Local favorites join World of Dance Tour By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily Dancers Charity Anderson of Springville and Andres Penate of Vineyard have had a life-altering year. The couple garnered worldwide fame when they received a perfect score—a 100— in August during the duels round of the show. It was a historic moment considering no other act on the show has been given a 100 before or since. Their journey following that monumental night was not without difficulty. Onset at Universal to prepare for the divisional finals, the couple was trying a new lift that somehow went wrong. Charity landed on her head, but the momentum of the lift caused the weight of the fall to be concentrated on her toe. She was rushed to the emergency room. Although she didn’t sustain any neck or head injuries, she did break her toe. But when doctors confirmed she wouldn’t have any lifelong damage if she kept dancing on it, they were able to continue competing. She continued to dance through the pain and wore a boot for the remainder of her time there in L.A., only removing it for dress rehearsals and the
taped performances. Their many Utah fans and viewers throughout the world tuned into their final performance on the show, which was a collaborative effort with producers and the Nappytabs team. The show felt they were legends, since they received that perfect score, so they wanted Charity and Andres to do a dance to the song “Legendary” by Welshly Arms. The entire piece revolved around this theme, with crystal statues and the couple as modern day superheroes. Charity and Andres placed third overall in the competition and now their worlds have opened up. They’ve received countless messages from people who have been inspired by their work. They started their Instagram account in May with no followers, and now they have 175,000. And they’ve gotten to meet and work with many of their dance heroes. They began their World of Dance tour with their first show in Toronto on October 1 and will perform in thirty cities. In between rehearsals and performances, they’ve enjoyed teaching master classes on tour.Charity’s mother, Tresa Anderson, has this to say about the pair: “They are both very passionate about their craft
Charity and Andres perform on the World of Dance Tour. and also very hard workers. They love to learn and are both quite hard on themselves because they feel they have never arrived—even with the success they experienced on World of Dance. Today they still feel they have so far to go and so much to learn. This work ethic of always wanting to improve has led them to where
they are today.” They are receiving offers non-stop to perform and teach throughout the world but will have to put this on hold until they finish the World of Dance tour. Their last performance for the tour will be on November 14 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

THE FUNNYISH FILES Annual Parade of Lights In Defense of Pineapple On Pizza looking for entries By Payson Santaquin Area Chamber for Serve Daily The holiday season is fast approaching and the Payson Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce is looking for entries into their Santaquin Parade of Lights to be held on Saturday, December 1. This nighttime parade is an annual tradition of fun lighted parade entries running west on 100 S. in Santaquin starting on 300 E. and ending at Santaquin Elementary school with free hot cocoa and a visit from St. Nick himself. The chamber is looking for entries into the parade. We would love entries from local businesses, organizations, groups, Pineapple Pizza creates strong feelings in pizza lovers.
By Joseph Capell for Serve Daily
Pizza is delicious! It's one thing almost op to everyone can agree on. It's the do-it-all world meal featuring bread, sauce, cheese, they meat (usually), veggies (sometimes), and even fruit (occasionally.) will Yes, I said "fruit." You see, there is a lberwide variety of foodstuffs that you put on a pizza, and most of those things are accepted by everyone. You may not like a particular topping, but you recognize that someone else might like that topping, and they can have that topping on ING their pizza. (Even anchovies.) And that's the way it should be. But, some people draw the line at pineapple. They'll say that if there is pineapple on it, it can't be called a pizza. People feel very strongly about this m issue. The president of Iceland stated e. that he wished he could make putting pineapple on pizza against the law. And a friend of mine who thinks he's an authority on the subject because he has an Italian last name once wrote, "If it has pineapple on it, IT ISN'T PIZZA!!!!!!" That's some serious ALL CAPS, plus six exclamation points, if anyone is counting. (And apparently, I am.) I'm not sure why these people have decided that pineapple is the one topping that they must make a stand against. Are 45 they afraid of pineapple? Is it too deli-

cious? Were they emotionally scarred by that Tiki episode of "The Brady Bunch? Do they think pineapple will be a gateway fruit, paving the way for bananas or mangoes? Everyone has toppings they don't like. I can't stand green peppers; I think they are disgusting, and they overpower any other ingredient they are paired with. And yet, I'm perfectly fine if someone wants to put green peppers on THEIR pizza, as long as they keep them off of MY pizza. I'm not going to declare, "if it has green peppers, it isn't pizza," because I'm willing to allow others the freedom to choose their own pizza toppings. (This is, after all, America!) There's such a great variety of toppings that can be put on a pizza, it's a shame to limit them. Just a few years ago, I would have never thought barbecue sauce or alfredo sauce belonged on a pizza, but now I'd gladly enjoy either of those alongside my tomato sauce and pepperoni! So, I will have pineapple on my pizza, whether you like it or not. And I will call it a pizza, whether you agree or not. And my suggestion to you would be to get your own pizza, and put whatever you want on it. And enjoy that pizza, because pizza is delicious! (Having said all that: anchovies? Really?)

Old Time Fiddlers featured in Sunday Concert Series By Ginny Ackerson for Serve Daily Be ready to tap your toes on Sunday, November 18, 2018, at the Springville Museum of Art during the Sunday Concert Series presented by the Springville Arts Commission. The Utah County chapter of the Utah Old Time Fiddlers will perform in the Grand Gallery at 4:30 p.m. and the concert is free to the public. The Utah Old Time Fiddlers and Country Music Association is a not-for-profit
organization dedicated to the promotion, perpetuation, and enjoyment of “Old Time” music. Our purpose is to encourage musicians of all ages and to provide them with opportunities to improve their skills by performing in public. If you live in Utah and enjoy the music of the fiddle tradition, then this is the place for you. Our chapters hold regular jam sessions and are also available to play for special occasions. The Utah County chapter serves the Utah County area (Spanish Fork, Orem, Provo and Salem). We hold our jam sessions every first and third
Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. The first Wednesday jam session is held at the Orem Senior Center, 93 North, 400 East, Orem. The third Wednesday jam session is held at the Springville Senior Center, 65 East 200 South, Springville. On December 9, the beloved Utah Valley Bell Choir will perform their annual Christmas program. This is a family favorite so come early as it is a very popular concert. The choir was formed in 1993 by director Karen Eskew-Wyllie. The members volunteer their time to share their love of bells. There are 58 bells cast in bronze
Old Time Fiddlers or aluminum, each tuned to a single note. When rung together, they produce melodies full of rich overtones. Sacred, as well as popular songs, are part of the repertoire. Highly skilled musicians ring together at precise intervals to create beautiful melodies. Performing a repertoire of sacred, as well as fun, upbeat songs, you won’t want to miss their showstoppers such as The Nutcracker, Sleigh Ride, and Hallelujah Chorus. Hearing these classics performed on bells is something everyone should experience!

In Our Back Yard Helper, Utah By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily Historic Helper, Utah is only about an hour east of us on US Highway 6 just before you arrive in Price. As you turn off Highway 6 at the first exit to Helper you will find yourself turning on Main Street in a couple of blocks. It is like stepping back in history 70 to 80 years. This is an interesting little town to visit for older folks to reflect on memories of long past times and for younger people to see sights that were common to their grandparents and great-grandparents. One of the first sights that will catch your eyes is a collection of old cars and trucks at an old Sinclair Gasoline station. The old gas pumps show a price of 29.9 cents a gallon for regular and 39.9 cents per gallon for premium. That goes back to the era when some of us bought gasoline a dollar at a time and that was a time when gasoline was a cash purchase, no credit cards then. The antique gasoline pumps also advertise an additive called Ethyl which was the lead added to gasoline to improve performance and economy of engines as early as 1921. Another reminder of a past time. A little further down Main Street on the left side of the road in front of the Helper Auditorium is a 20-foot statue of a miner locally known as “Big John.” This certainly makes an interesting picture or two with family and friends. Continuing you will find a Main Street that looks like it could be the perfect location for a 1930’s movie set. The old hotel with a sign on

The stores and restaurants all have the charm and character of a past time, this is historic Helper. Also, on Main Street is the Western Mining and Railroad Museum. It is easy to find because next to it is an old red Railroad caboose. Here we have two floors of historic artifacts arranged in theme rooms illustrating the life of early Helper residents. An amazing, but somewhat crowded, collection of antiques and short messages of historic descriptions of the early days of this classic western community. You could easily spend several exploring the contents of this museum. Next to the museum is the famous Helper Train Mosaic created by famous artists and local children On down the street is another old gas station and garage worthy of a few pic-

It is a sight from the past and again a reminder to some of us of where we have been. As an added attraction, the Helper Christmas Town Festival starts just before Thanksgiving and runs through the end of December. Main Street is lit up with
a dazzling display of Christmas lights. During this time many different events are offered including an electric light parade and a couple nights of fireworks displays. Checkout the Helper City website or call Helper City Hall at 435-472-5391 to find the latest information about scheduled Christmas Festival activities.
