Walk for Freedom

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily The heritage of our flag and the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who have served our nation was the educational purpose of a two-day event for fifth-grade students from Spanish Fork and Salem. The Walk for Freedom event was organized by American Legion Post 68 and has become an annual event. The Nebo School District has about 1,200 fifth grade students in 13 elementary schools that were bussed to the Spanish Fork Sports Park on May 7 and 8. The walk, carried out by class groups with teacher escorts, visited seven stations and was a little over a mile walk. The stations were staffed by veterans representing historical events. One station was the Freedom Wall which was a collection of stories and pictures that students researched on individual veterans. The walk was described as a walk for life, a walk for patriotism, and a walk for the freedom we all enjoy. The event was a wonderful prelude to Memorial Day. Each student received a “dog Tag” and tee shirt donated by the Doug Ford Family. The opening ceremony was the bugle call and traditional raising of the flag.

One purpose of the program is to remember and honor our veterans and to interact with some local heroes who have served.

Special this year was 100-year old Mark A. McKell in his WWII uniform. This amazing man takes a walk every morning and evening to stay in shape. And yes, he had stories to tell. The importance of a soldier was given by quoting the writing of Charles M. Province.

It is the Soldier, not the poet who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer who has given us freedom to protest.

It is the Soldier, not the lawyer who has given us the right to a free trial.

It is the Soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows

the protesters to burn the flag.

The closing ceremony was the playing of taps symbolic of honoring a military veteran who has passed away. The students then returned to their school buses with an appreciation for our nation’s military and our nation’s flag. Our community needs to give thanks to the American Legion Post 68 and the Nebo School District for this wonderful patriotic event for our young people.

South Utah Valley Electric Service District supports Maple Dell Camp

By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daiy A team from South Utah Valley Electric Service District installed poles and a transformer at BSA Camp Maple Dell.

Dave Johnson, Camp Director said in a letter to the company, "Your 5-man team with their incredible skills and SESD’s specialized equipment almost made the work they did yesterday look easy, though it was obvious how hard Dwayne, Greg, Serg, Tag and TJ worked. It was a treat to

get to watch these men at work and the service you all provided was once again extremely valuable to Camp Maple Dell."

Johnson said, "Brook and Jennifer, thank you for your leadership, approval, and follow through on this project; you two were an indispensable part of this success story as well."

Electric Service District employees involved with the project included: Brook Christensen, Jennifer Hatcher, Dwayne Miller, Greg Stanton, Sergio Vargas, Tag Lunsford, and TJ Hannifin.

EVERYDAY HEROES Springville welcomes new police chief Craig Martinez

By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily Craig Martinez is the new Chief of police for the Springville Police Department. He was appointed by Mayor Rick Child, and the city council subsequently approved the appointment.

Martinez will be sworn in on June 4, at 6:30 p.m. prior to the Springville City Council Meeting. Immediately following the ceremony, an open house will be held in the Multi-Purpose Room to celebrate. The public is welcome to attend the ceremony and open house. Springville Civic Center, 110 South Main Street, Springville.

Martinez replaces Scott Finlayson, who retired in May. Appointed on April 1, 1996, Finlayson served as Chief of Police for twenty-three years, the longest running police chief in Springville history. Finlayson had worked in law enforcement for a total of forty years.

Having previously served in the Marine Corps, the Utah Highway Patrol, the Utah State Prison, and the Federal Aviation Administration, Martinez brings a long list of experience to his new position. Prior to his appointment as Springville’s Police Chief, Martinez served as a Captain for the Orem Police Department, where he worked for sixteen years.

One of his responsibilities within the Orem PD was being the face of the department’s Facebook page.

Craig Martinez There are many in Orem who are sad to see Martinez leaving the department.

Collectively, there have been hundreds of social media posts wishing him well and bemoaning the loss of his distinctive, often humorous voice on the Orem PD page. He’s become well-known for his witty and transparent posts that are designed to educate and inform—a practice that some say he’ll continue in his new job as Chief of Police.

Martinez has long been a fixture in Utah County, as he was raised in Spanish Fork. He and his wife, Shantelle, have three children ages 14 to 25.

Distracted driving leads to tragedies

By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily This is the second part in a series of articles on public safety issues for south Utah County.

When Lieutenant Warren Foster of the Springville Police Department was asked about the number one public safety issue for our area, he answered without hesitation, “Distracted driving.”

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), “Distracted driving is dangerous, claiming 3,166 lives in 2017 alone.”

The NHTSA describes distracted driving as “…any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system—anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving.”

This issue is on the rise and it’s an even bigger problem now that we are in the summer months. Foster explains that “School is out. More children are out on or near the streets.”

So many potential tragedies can beavoided by putting our phones down and watching for pedestrians. Foster encourages everyone to put their phones in “Do Not Disturb” mode while driving. “Radios, children, etc. already do a pretty good job of distracting us while driving. The phone is one more thing. So don’t engage with it. Pull over to do any business you need to do on your phone.”

The NHTSA cautions: “Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for five seconds. At fifty-five mph, that's like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed.”

Police departments from around the county and the Utah Highway Patrol often don’t initially see a lot of truth coming from those involved in accidents. Foster

Distracted driving is often the cause of accidents. explains that “A lot of times, those who get in an accident because they were on their phones don’t admit it.”

But phones aren’t the only thing causing distracted driving. Foster describes how they frequently see people who are in their vehicles on our roads, but they’re not ready for work yet. They are shaving, fixing their hair, or taking care of that last minute email.

As Foster points out, and as is echoed through campaigns throughout the state, “Distracted driving makes good people look bad.”

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more ideas on how to keep safe while driving. Go to nhtsa. gov to learn tips to avoid risky driving, all about the texting and driving laws in the state of Utah, and safety ratings of vehicles, car seats, and tires.

As Foster puts it: “We’re so busy, but we need to remember the important things of life, namely watching out for the people we love.”

“Your automobile is a 1500-10,000 pound deadly weapon,” Foster says. Use it with care.

The next lesson for the year is the Power of Goals. In this lesson, students discover and describe the power to set and reach goals and dream towards their future. I know it may seem odd to talk about goals in June. When our thoughts turn to vacations and relaxing in the sun.

However, June is a great time to check in with ourselves and see if we are on track with our goals. I have done some research about goals and best practices to achieve the goals we set for ourselves. Some give you general ideas and others list step by step instructions. I decided to share some ideas I ran across in the research that I may have not included in my goal-making process and thought maybe some of you might benefit from these ideas.

Telling someone about the goal. For me, this is a step that I have always felt should come, after, I have accomplished the goal. This may because of my fear of failure an judgment. But if I change my perspective, telling someone gives others the opportunity to help motivate and sup-

port me. I am no longer alone is achieving my goal and there is a greater likelihood that I will accomplish what I set out to do.

Plan the first step. I have often overlooked this step jumping in with both feet. Only to find that I don’t have a clear path and then I spend so much backtracking and I end up giving up before I really even begin. If the first step is planned and then executed, we have already accomplished a small part of our goal and we can move to the next part with confidence. Each step will be easier than the last and we will whittle away at the goal quickly.

Celebrate. A step that is often overlooked. You have done something great, acknowledge it. Let yourself celebrate not only that you have accomplished the goal but also the journey to its completion.

So during June take time to make sure you are on track with your goals for the year. If you need to change the plan or even alter the goal itself, do it! The Power to set and achieve goals can help each of us to build the future we want for ourselves and for the world.

I WAS SERVED

Neighbors serving neighbors through their gardens.

Locals share times when they experienced service

By Arianne Brown for Serve Daily A little over a year ago, my family moved to the south Utah County area, and immediately upon arrival, we were showered with kindness and service. Several days worth of meals were brought to our home along with welcome packages.

At the time, we had a newborn baby and a 2-year-old in a half body cast from a toddler-induced accident. There was no shortage of help given, and kind words and prayers offered on our behalf.

Since moving here, our family has had our garden area that was run over by weeds, tilled while we were out of town by a neighbor who knew we had wishes of starting a garden. The same neighbor and several others have shared with us their garden surplus. We have had community members allow our sons to do yard work to help earn fees for athletic teams. We have had neighbors feed our dog while we were out of town. Coming home from

vacation last year, our tire blew, with debris damaging our car, and a man helped us coast safely down Spanish Fork Canyon, giving us water and beef jerky to boot. And recently, with the arrival of our ninth child, we were yet again provided meals to ease the transition at home with a new baby and healing mother.

During our 18 months in this wonderful community, each member of my family can without hesitation say, “I was served.”

I recently asked other community members to share experiences when they have been served, and here is what some of them had to say: Doug Welton, Payson City Councilman: “My old neighbor (I moved to the other side of town) always plants peas in front of his house. They're huge and they are for anyone who wants them. Once the

peas are gone he plants green beans and tomatoes for anyone and everyone to have. He is one of the most generous individuals and neighbors I have ever had.”

Anonymous teacher: “A fellow teacher that I work with got really sick this school year, and because of this, the class had a different sub every day. It was hard on those little first graders, not to have consistency. A parent (CathyAnn Burton) of one of the children in the class was concerned. Instead of

complaining, she went and got certified to be a substitute and was on call to sub that class whenever it was needed. While she did get paid, she put everything on hold to be available for that classroom of children.”

We at Serve Daily know there are countless acts of service happening in the community. If you have been the recipient of service, or have witnessed others being served, email your story to ariannebrown1@gmail.com. Your story may be featured in our new, “I was Served” column.

“We take as much of the hassle out of a repair as we can, helping with renting a vehicle and dealing with the insurance.

And your car is always detailed when you pick it up!”

By Arianne Brown for Serve Daily Each month, Serve Daily will feature one company or employee who has provided exemplary service in the community. To nominate a “Server of the Month” in your area, contact ariannebrown1@ gmail.com.

For 20 years, CR Doors out of Springville has been opening up doors of opportunity to countless customers and individuals in the community. But it isn’t just creating and installing custom doors that has providing door opening opportunities for others. For the past two decades, the owners at CR Doors have done what they can to serve the community through several charitable endeavors.

“Each quarter, we give our employees $500 to donate to charity,” owner, Clint Robertson said. “They will often ask customers to recommend charities or persons in need, or our employees will choose one they feel is deserving of the money.”

According to office manager, Marlene Murray, supporting the activities that are important to the community is important.

“CR Doors believes in supporting the activities that are important to the community that we serve,” Murray said. “Many of our donations have been made through customer contacts. When we help in the community, it makes our ties stronger and helps us to be aware of the people in our area.”

CR Doors has always been supportive of community events including local

schools, Boy Scouts of America, local congregations, 4H, youth sports, health fundraisers, and has helped anonymously with several projects that have greatly benefited the community.

“We are always happy when we receive thank you notes and to see that our contribution has helped someone,” Murray said. “This last spring, we donated to help a customer go on a humanitarian trip to a third world country. One of our most recent donations was to a family in need. The mother passed away unexpectedly and we donated a playhouse to the children. We will be donating another playhouse to the youth in Nephi to be auctioned at the 4th of July fundraiser.

This spring we were happy to help with food for the Special Needs Fishing Day at Salem Pond.”

While CR Doors wants to continue to serve the local community, as the business grows, the company wants to expand its charitable reach as well.

“We started with giving to groups that were associated with our employees and have grown to accept requests from many of our valued customers,” Murray said.

“As our business has grown, our reach has gone further, and that is why this year we decided to allot a quarterly amount to each salesman so that they can be more involved in the process and our reach can extend to others we may not have been aware of.”

New program is helping ty children with autism in Utah County

By Wendy Weaver for Serve Daily The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder among children in the U.S. has increased in the past decade. In Utah, the number of children diagnosed with autism is even higher than the national average. A staggering 1 in 54 Utah children are diagnosed and the need for autism services has never been more critical. These kids desperately need intense therapy at a very early age.

That's why, Kids Who Count, a non-profit organization serving families and children in South Utah County, decided to expand their services to include comprehensive autism treatment along with their early intervention services for children, birth to three years of age.

"Since 1986, our early intervention program has helped thousands of young children with developmental delays and disabilities," Kelsey Lewis, Kids Who Count Executive Director, said. “Now we're ready to expand those services to include treatment for children on the autism spectrum.”

Kids Who Count, located in Salem, Utah, would like to help more kids like Miles Jones who at 18 months wasn't talking at all. He was missing most of his developmental milestones and his family was getting frantic. Fortunately, Miles was receiving early intervention at Kids Who Count and the timing couldn't have been better. His early intervention providers referred him for further evaluation and he was diagnosed and able to get help quickly when his family became one of the first to start Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) through the brand new program: Autism Services at Kids Who Count.

“Miles is responding so well to ABA therapy and continues to make such rapid progress,” Miles' mother, Kohleen Jones, said. “We are so grateful that Kids Who Count was able to expand their services and start providing ABA therapy. There is such a great need in our community!”

The need for autism treatment services is outpacing the number of providers in South Utah County, Lewis said. “It’s con-

cerning to know young children are not getting the ABA therapy they so desperately need.”

ABA therapy helps young children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder increase their communication skills and decrease behaviors that are not beneficial to their life. It focuses on the fact that not being able to communicate is frustrating and kids will act out as a result. Hundreds of studies have shown that ABA therapy is also the best treatment to improve social skills, develop play skills, and teach self-care for children with autism.

“Researchers have compared ABA to other programs and their results consistently show that children who receive ABA treatment make greater improvements in more skill areas than children who participate in other interventions,” Lewis said. “And, it’s also shown to significantly reduce the daily stress for parents of kids with autism.”

“Early Intervention has been absolutely key for Miles and our family,” Jones said.

“Miles started signing words and then moved on to speaking and is now able to form three- to four-word sentences. Miles has improved in how he interacts with his peers, and we learned skills on how to help Miles transition more smoothly from one activity to another. We even got help with teaching Miles to eat a meal using utensils.”

Tiffany Millar, Registered Behavior Technician with Kids Who Count, works on new vocabulary with Brookson Measom in the Kids Who Count playground.

Kids Who Count now has a staff of highly trained behavior analysts and technicians who are experts in this subject and certified in providing ABA treatment, Lewis said. “They know what works and what doesn’t, and they are achieving pronounced results already.”

Those results are being deeply felt by Miles and his family. "We are very optimistic that our whole family has a happy and bright future ahead of us," Jones said.

To contact Kids Who Count about autism services, visit their website at kidswhocount.org/autism, or call them at (801) 423-3000.

By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily Congratulations to the approximately 2,400 Nebo School District 2019 Graduates. These students received over $18 million in scholarships to help them continue their educational pursuits.

Graduation is a time to celebrate the last four years of hard work and lessons learned. A time to reflect on all those that helped, parents, teachers, administrators, and staff, each graduate get to the point they are today.

Graduation is also referred to as a com-

mencement ceremony, which means the beginning. The beginning of something new and exciting. This is a time for students to become something they have been working hard for and dreaming about since they were a small child. Nebo’s hope is that all of our students fulfill their dreams and make a positive difference in the world.

MMHS hosts Super Stars Track Meet

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily The idea of bringing students with special educational needs from throughout the Nebo School District to Maple Mountain High School to be buddied-up with student-athletes belongs to Coach David Boyack. It was ten years ago this year he proposed this annual track meet and in association with the Special Education Department, he is responsible for planning the event.

The event includes 50, 100, 200, and 400-meter races; a 400-meter wheelchair race, long jump, high jump, and a softball throw. Every Special Needs student receives a medal for their abilities and efforts. The event is held the first Thursday in May every year.

This year’s event brought 280 Special Needs students to the track meet. That is 7 busloads of students. Each Special

Needs student is paired with one of 280 high school “buddies” to assist them with the various events. In addition, several parents were also on the field to witness the events their kids are involved in. Despite the wettest spring in many years the weather for this year’s event was perfect.

The event is called the Super Stars Track and Field Day, and there are many stars at this event. It is about young people with mental and physical challenges experiencing achievement in things they don’t usually get to do. It is the excitement and smiles that we see from these young people thrilled with accomplishing simple things in a big world.

The athlete and general education students at Maple Mountain High Schools are also stars in their efforts to assist the special education students in dealing with their capabilities and challenges. Remarkable bonding effort was seen between the buddy mentors and the special ed stu-

Springille FFA attends State Convention

By Ashley Truscott for Serve Daily

The Springville FFA Chapter attended the annual State FFA Convention in Logan, Utah. When the Springville Chapter arrived in Logan, they were able to go on farm tours, that are owned by Utah State University and operated by the college students attending there.The first farm tour was at the Caine Dairy farm, where the students were able to learn how the cows are treated and how the robotic milking machines work. The second farm tour was at the horse farm, which has a veterinarian's office on the property. The students were able to see horses and their colts. They were also able to learn about the goats and sheep that have been genetically modified for research.After the tours were over, the chapter headed over to the workshops on the college campus.

There, the students would choose two of the many workshop options that were available for them. The workshops fo-

cused on building strong leaders.During state convention, the chapter won many awards and had many members compete.

The chapter took second in the Conduct of Chapter Meetings contest! In this contest, the team members demonstrated their knowledge about Parliamentary Procedure and FFA Opening and Closing Ceremonies. Kameron Talbot took second place in the Farm Bureau Discussion Meet and was part of the talent during the sessions. James Cope won a Proficiency award in Agriculture Processing and will represent our chapter at a national level. Jaynee Giffing ran for state office and was chosen as the third runner up in the Star State in Agribusiness award.Our members enjoyed listening to the speakers during the various sessions. They were inspired as they listened to the Utah State FFA Officers deliver their retiring addresses. They laughed as they enjoyed listening to Clint Pulver tell his story and then impress us with an amazing drum performance! And each student left with

Zions Bank rewards Springville student for great grades

By Kallee Feuz for Serve Daily Merit College Preparatory Academy eighth-grader Kamal Husson won a $100 scholarship savings account as a regional winner of the spring drawing of Zions Bank’s Pays for A’s program.

Pays for A’s rewards students who put in the effort to make their grades count.

Chad Bishoff, manager of the Zions Bank Springville branch, surprised Husson with his win during a classroom presentation.

Husson was entered into the drawing by bringing his report card to Zions Bank and was paid for every “A” he received.

More than 2,200 students throughout Utah and Idaho entered the drawing.

“In an era of increasing costs for higher

education, it’s more important than ever for students to start saving for the future.

We’re proud that Kamal has taken an important step towards achieving his academic goals,” Bishoff said.

Over the past 15 years, Pays for A’s has rewarded thousands of students across Utah and Idaho for working hard in school. Students ages 12 to 18 can participate by bringing their most current term-end report card into any Zions Bank location.

Students do not need a Zions Bank account to participate. They’ll receive $1 per “A” deposited into their savings account, or 50 cents per “A” if they opt for cash. For each “A” on their report cards, students are entered into a drawing to win one of 150 regional scholarship prizes each worth $100 and one grand prize worth $1,000 in each state.

Springville FFA Chapter hosts Farm Field Days

By Ashley Truscott for Serve Daily Springville FFA recently volunteered to help teach second-graders about the farm and farm life. They met up at the Harward farms in Springville and were assigned where to help. There were 14 stations that the kids would go through to learn about the farm. The volunteers served as either a tour guide to take the kids around the farm, or a teacher at the stations kids visited.

The second-grade students who attended learned things like farm safety -- how to be safe around farm machines or animals. Another station was living necklaces where they got to make a necklace for their wheat plant, and they could watch it grow. They also got to learn about the water cycle. They learned where water comes from and what it can be used for and also how irrigation works for drier places. The students got to pet and see and learn about live animals used on the

farm such as sheep, chickens, pigs, goats and cows. And one of the last stations was soils. They learned the layers of soils, what is organic and inorganic, and what makes up the different layers of soil.

Helping out with farm field days is probably one of the best activities that Springville FFA has. Sydney Tuttle, one of the officers in the Springville chapter, said, “The reason why I like to help out with farm field days is to help other kids learn about agriculture and help them understand where food comes from.”

Special Ed students spend a day fishing at Salem Pond.

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily “Gone Fishing” was a sign that should have been posted on 37 classrooms for Special Education Students in the Nebo, Provo, and Alpine School Districts as 1,600 students were bussed to Salem Pond to go fishing. This event gives these kids an opportunity to get outside and experience something most of them have never done before.

The fishing trip for special needs students was started in 1988 with 16 students taken to Payson Lake. For logistical reasons it has been moved to Salem Pond and the three local school districts are now involved. The event is scheduled the second Tuesday in May and called “Fishing Day at Salem Pond.” It has now become an annual tradition that students

with special needs look forward to.

“Fishing Day” is conducted by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources with sponsorship from Cabelas, King Camo, and a host of volunteer sportsman to help students catch and clean the fish. Each child gets a fish. Some fish are pre-attached to fishing lines to make it easier for some of the kids.

Everybody gets to touch a live fish and see how they get cleaned for cooking. Students had the option of taking the fish they caught home. “Fishing Day” is another neat tradition that has been started locally and maintained by the family spirit of our community. We are blessed with many wonderful people in our community. This is another reminder of what a wonderful community we live in.

Maplewood Events opens in Spanish Fork

By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily Spanish Fork has a new, unique space to celebrate. Maplewood Events, a premiere wedding and event venue, opened Saturday, June 1, with and open house that included food and dancing. It is 4,000 square feet of fully decorated space right in the heart of Spanish Fork at 1068 Expressway Lane.

Maplewood Events is owned by the Giles family--Bonnie and Russell Giles along with their son Kelly Giles and his wife Heather. Bonnie said opening an events center actually had its origins 20 years ago when Kelly and Heather got married and she decorated the wedding. It was such a success that friends and family started asking her to decorate for their weddings. Russell, Heather and Kelly helped and it grew into a family business.

"We acquired a lot of items to take to different sites to decorate. We packed up stuff and hauled it there and decorated," Bonnie said. At some point, Kelly suggested, "Mom, let's take it to the next level. Let's go bigger." Bonnie said the stars aligned and they had the opportunity to open Maplewood Events.

Heather said the fully decorated space provides "a clean, fresh, modern look that is comfortable and unique." Bonnie calls it "industrial with urban modern."

The space is beautiful as is, but there are also some other items to choose from to change up the decor a bit. The area includes the main event area with tables and chairs, a bathroom, a full prep kitch-

The company also offers rentals of some wedding and event decor items for do-it-yourselfers. Renters are responsible for the transportation and set-up of the items.

Heather said, "People can always come and look around if they want to.

Tragedy Creates Extreme Motus

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily The June 6, 2000, Deseret News headline read “Big Tree Falls, Kills 2 in Provo Canyon.” It was a family birthday party at Big Springs Park in the South Fork of Provo Canyon when an 80-foot cottonwood tree suddenly fell over and crushed 56-year-old Mollie Sorensen and her two young granddaughters. Mrs. Sorensen and 6-year-old Mollie died at the scene.

Four-year-old Emma was in serious condition with skull, spine, and pelvic injuries. Several other family members were injured, but not as seriously. Investigators had no explanation why the 3-foot diameter tree fell, winds at the time were light.

Emma recovered but was left paralyzed from the waist down.

One of the Provo City Firefighters who responded to this tragic accident, Dale Pitts, kept in touch with Emma’s family.

A few years later, when Emma was in the third grade, a biologist invited participation in a field trip to the mountains to see a bear that had been tracked with a radio device and then tranquilize. Being para-

lyzed Emma couldn’t make the 2-mile hike. This is when Dale came up with the idea of a mountain trail wheelchair. Dale and his buddy Todd Loader built a wheelchair with a single large high flotation tire for the mountain trail and Emma got to see the bear with her classmates.

This mountain trail wheelchair worked so well that Emma’s dad asked Dale and Todd if they could create another one to enable Emma to reach the top of Timpanogos Mountain. They created their next version of a mountain trail wheelchair, and with the help of family and friends Emma made it to the top of Timpanogos mountain. Emma was able to live out her dream despite her limitation thanks to the inventive genius of two guys who just wanted to be helpful.

Dale and Todd made a few more copies of their unique off-road wheelchair for people who are paralyzed and want to enjoy mountain and desert trails.

Dale’s accountant friend, Adam Beesely realized there might be a large enough need among the handicapped population to create a business to manufacture and market a wheelchair for sandy and rocky

They have continued to refine their wheelchair concept and they are now developing an electric motor-powered assist model. They call their wheelchair Extreme Motus, and for more information visit their website www.extrememotus.com.

In 1946, C. Edwin bought the little Johnson tire shop that is a block east of Central Bank around 43 E. 200 South.

“His wife came in and helped him and they started to sell Good Year tires, bicycles, paint, and anything they could to make some money,” said Beth.

That same year Edwin Jr. came home from serving in the army and joined his father in the business. He soon married, bringing Beth into the tire business. She and Edwin Jr. bought the business from his father when he retired. They moved to their current location in 1968.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Springville potter named 2019 Resident Artist

By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily When potter Alison Kelley Watson learned she was the 2019 Resident Artist for Springville city, she was shocked.

This wasn’t something she’d applied for or known anything about, and now she’ll receive a plaque and get to ride in the Art City Days parade.

To be named Resident Artist in a town nicknamed “Art City” is quite an honor.

When she and her family moved here from the D.C. area eight and a half years ago, the moniker “Art City” really stuck out to her and she loved the vibe here.

Even though they are now completely immersed in the annual celebrations, as newcomers, Watson and her family didn’t know what Art City Days was. “One morning there was a pig dying outside my window—a hot air balloon pig. That made me laugh because my dad used to say certain things would happen when pigs fly. Coming from D.C., I didn’t know how cool these small town celebrations were.”

The theme across all of Watson’s pieces is nature. “Sometimes that’s reflected in subtle hues in the glaze that reminds me of the ocean and sometimes it’s carving mountains or trees into my work in black and white. But nature feeds my soul, and I think that comes through in everything that I make.”

Art has always been an intrinsic part of who Watson is. As a child, and living in Washington, D.C., she used to draw little figures and animals under a secret flap of wallpaper near her bed.

Known as the kid who liked to draw, Watson’s fourth grade teacher brought in

rolls of paper and art supplies and asked her to decorate the classroom door in a design reminiscent of Charlotte’s Web, the book they had been reading as a class.

And later, in high school, one of Watson’s art projects was stolen off the wall of the art classroom. When her teacher told her about it, she was flattered. It made her happy knowing someone liked it enough to want to keep it.

Her first foray into ceramics was in a high school class, but, to Watson’s disappointment, they never used wheels, focusing instead on handbuilding. She didn’t get to use a wheel until she was an art major at Ricks College. “I met the ceramics teacher’s assistant in the student center a few days before the semester started. As part of our first date, I used the wheel for the first time. Now we’re married with four kids.”

According to Watson, that teacher’s assistant, her husband Andy, is much better at the technical side of pottery, like kiln firing. Those four children, ranging in age from six to seventeen, have embraced their mom’s potter’s lifestyle. They each engage in various forms of art and they help her in various ways, like setting up and taking down shows, and doing studio assistant work. “My kids…(give) me honest feedback when I ask or don’t ask for it.”

It wasn’t until December 2017 that she was finally in a position in her life to turn this long-held hobby into a career: “When my youngest kid started kindergarten that’s when I really hit it hard. This had always been the plan in the back of my mind, and suddenly the voice in my head was saying ‘Okay, let’s do this now!’”

Even though she bought her own

Handmade mugs by Alison Kelley Watson.

Resident Artist Alison Kelley Watson wheel in college, she didn’t have a kiln to match until about three years ago.

She started out becoming involved in every artistic opportunity she could find.

Applying and being accepted into several shows, like the Utah Art Market, the Beehive Bazaar, and the Hobble Creek Barn Boutique, has allowed Watson the “unexpected perk” of getting to connect with lots of people.

She now makes custom mugs for Hobble Creek Coffee Company, and sells pieces in both Lemon and Sage Market here in Springville and also in a shop at the mouth of Zion National Park.

“The highest compliments come from people who have bought a piece or two for themselves, and they feel the love and craftsmanship that I’ve put into it. They use it every day and it becomes a part of their home and life.”

The artist’s journey hasn’t been without difficulty for Watson. Also working as a ski instructor, her future as a potter was in jeopardy after a skiing accident last winter left her with a severely broken arm. There were so many breaks that the doctor said it was like putting a puzzle

back together, and he expressed concern that the nerves would sustain permanent damage.

After spending days in the hospital and several weeks barely able to move or even hold a pencil, Watson made healing her body her full-time job. It has taken several months to get back to something of a normal potter’s life, but registering for a couple of shows back when she was at her worst pushed her to strengthen her arm.

“The injury did of course affect my business, and I’m still playing catch up from that time off. My arm still hurts when I center the clay and really put muscle into it,” Watson says.

Even though it took Watson a couple of years to really settle in and feel at home here in this area, she couldn’t be happier in this little slice of the world. “Now I’m Springville’s biggest fan and I think we’ll be here forever. I love this place! The warmth and friendliness of people here is the best part of all.”

Robin Hood the Musical Utah Vocal Arts Academy John Cobb as Robin Hood and Michelle Adams as Maid Marian from Robin Hood the Musical.

By The Brothers Cobb for Serve Daily Welcome to Sherwood! Cobb&Co Theater Productions, along with Angelus Theatre proudly present, Robin Hood the Musical; a Cobb&Co original production.

Music for the show was created by Karrol Cobb, a seasoned composer whose work includes “The Medicine Show” and “The Light Express” as well as several productions with his brother, award-winning librettist Tony Cobb.

“Robin Hood, The Musical” presents a few twists on the story of Robin Hood.

A rogue and a thief, Robin of Locksley is no hero. He’s an idea man who’s long been looking for a way to hit the jackpot.

When he and Johnny go into Nottingham town to pick a few pockets, they hear the townsfolk crying out against the sheriff’s latest tax hike and Robin gets his big idea.

“His plan is to take the money and run,” says librettist Tony Cobb. “And it all works out just the way he planned – until,

of course, the woman comes along.”

“Robin Hood, The Musical” is the story of a man who must discover the true jackpot. When he does, he sacrifices everything for that jackpot and becomes a true hero; whether he likes it or not.

Robin Hood the Musical features John Cobb (Westley, The Princess Bride; Frederick, The Pirates of Penzance) as the cunning Robin Hood, Michelle Adams as the elegant Maid Marian (Hodel, Fiddler on the Roof; Fairy Godmother, Cinderella) and Michael Mehner as the venerable sheriff of Nottingham (Dracula, Dracula; Porthos, The Three Musketeers).

The show will be held June 7-29 on Monday, Friday and Saturday at the Angelus Theatre, 165 N. Main St., Spanish Fork. Tickets are $10 for general admission, $8 for students, seniors and veterans, $6 for children, and $35 for a family pass good for up to 6 people. Immediate family only.

Springville World Folkfest bridges the gap between nations with dance, outreach program

482 S. Main Street, Spanish Fork

Call Today! 801-504-6448

By Arianne Brown for Serve Daily In a time when countries are at odds, and cultures are often being lost or forgotten as time goes on, there is an event that is doing its part to fix that—and has done so for the past 33 years.

The Springville World Folkfest that is taking place the July 30-August 3, is a world-renowned event that invites international folk dance and music groups to participate from all around the world in an effort to bridge the gaps between countries and cultures.

This year’s 34th annual World Folkfest will welcome ensembles from Croatia, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Taiwan, Russia, along with Utah’s own Morning Star (Native American). Rocky Mountain Express (Cloggers) and Voices of Polynesia (Dances from our US Islands).

The festival is open to the public, and is an event for people from all all walks of life. There are many individuals, however, who are unable to attend for one reason or another, and this is where the festival’s outreach program comes in to play.

“For the past several years, Folkfest has had an outreach program to allow groups of people who are not able to attend, the chance to experience some of these cultural dances,” Director of Events, Tanner Jackson said. “Each year, each group of international dancers is given the chance to community groups in nee,” he said.

“This year, we have a group from Poland who is going to teach a dance to some Polish-Utah immigrants who are actually from their very same town. It will be a great opportunity to bring a bit of home to the new Utah residents, who probably miss a bit of their home in Poland.”

There have been many moments where the outreach program has touched individuals here in Utah. Folkfest International Director, Emily Wilkinson recalls one time at an elderly care center.

“I remember going to an outreach event where a group from Chile had visited an elderly care center,” Wilkinson recalled.

“There was a lady at the care center who had begun to forget the English language but had retained the language of her childhood, which was Spanish. As the performers began to dance and sing, she started to cry because she felt a connec-

The performer sat there and spoke to her in her native tongue, and you could just feel the love in that room. That experience showed exactly what this festival is about, which is bridging the gap between nations and speaking the language we all speak, which is love—through the use of dance.”

The 2019 Springville World Folkfest will take place Tuesday, July 30 - Saturday, August 3, with the outreach program being held on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of that week.

Participants in local fun run ‘Pay it forward’ with help of local businesses Participants in Payson's Pay it Forward 5K.

Photo: Arianne Brown

By Arianne Brown for Serve Daily On the morning of May 18, the rain clouds took a slight break to allow over 400 people to participate in Payson's ninth annual Pay it Forward 5K/1 mile Challenge — many of them elementary-aged children. The event that took place at Memorial Park is part of the city’s wellness initiative, with the focus of promoting fitness, and the added goal of giving back to the community.

The event had the low cost of $1 per entrant, with each elementary school competing to have the largest amount of entrants to earn money toward its physical education program. This year, Spring Lake took home first place with a cash prize of $150, Park View got second place with $75 and Wilson took third place, earning $30 to spend on physical education.

Kambrie Holt, a third grader at Wilson Elementary, who ran it with her mom and brothers, said the race made her feel good.

“I like to run the race because my mom runs it with me, and it makes me feel good,” she said.

Her mother agreed. “I love that the city fun run is for all ages and abilities, from beginners on up,” Katie Holt said. “My kids look forward to being able to run the miles as well. The event is well attended and it’s fun to be part of it each year.”

Event director and city event organizer, Janeen Dean agrees that this event has had a positive impact on the community, but wanted to do more.

“I love this event, and wanted to give it more of a ‘pay it forward’ element, Dean said. “I decided that along with donating funds to local elementary schools, I wanted to give each person the chance to serve in the community as well.”

Dean contacted local businesses and was able to get over 200 $10 gift cards for event participants, and instructed each to go to the business and give the gift card to someone who is already shopping there.

One participant, Kaylene Hiatt did just that with her daughter, who received a gift card to Fast Gas in Payson.

“My daughter received a gas gift card, and we gave it away on Memorial Day,” Hiatt recalled. “We went in the store, saw a nice looking woman getting a drink and gave it to her. We explained that we participated in this event and were paying it forward. She then asked if she's supposed to pay it forward and we told her the gift card was hers to use but if she wanted to pay it forward to someone else in a different way then it was up to her. I hope she does. It made my daughter feel really good to give it to the woman and I think it taught her a great lesson about giving to others anytime—not just charities or when people need it.”

Hiatt said she still has a card from Payson Pool, and will wait until it opens to pay it forward.

The “Pay it Forward” event happens each May, but we at Serve Daily encourage all to follow the lead of these individuals, and take the initiative to pay it forward when the opportunity arises.

The Funny-ish Files Kids Want to "Help"

By Joseph Capell for Serve Daily

I never thought anyone would want to watch me clean a toilet. But there I was, cleaning the toilet in front of an audience.

Who would want to watch someone clean a toilet? A janitorial supervisor?

Cinderella's stepmother? That's about the list, or so you'd think--unless you have kids.

Yes, my two youngest children were mesmerized as I tried to scrub the toilet.

They crept up so close to look that I elbowed one of them on my scrubbing follow-through. "Please leave the room," I said. "Go play with your toys," I said.

"Can I please just clean the toilet in peace?" I begged. No. And then, they started to nitpick my work. "You missed a spot right there, Daddy." I feel pretty confident when I say: NO ONE wants to be heckled by their children while they are cleaning the toilet!

Look, I'm glad that my kids love me. It's wonderful that they want to be close to me. I just wish that occasionally they could stay more than two inches away.

Of course, it's not just when I'm cleaning the toilet, it's when I try to do almost anything. When I sit down to write, they will often try to climb onto my lap--or into my laptop--"helping" me by hitting random keys. (Some might say their writing would be an improvement on my usual blather.)

Loading and unloading the dishwasher can also be an adventure. "Daddy, I want to help," they'll say. It's very sweet, until they drop a plate and it shatters all over

the floor! (That hasn't happened, but it is my fear every time they "help" with the dishes.)

Cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, shoveling snow--all of these things are made more difficult when the kids try to "help." Yes, I realize that they have to learn somehow. They'll never know how to do these things unless I let them hinder me by "helping." It's just that I don't like doing most of those things, so I want to do them as quickly as possible, without any "help."

The irony, of course, is that once they are finally capable enough to actually help, they won't want to anymore. At that point, I'll be having to order, beg, and cajole them to get anything done. It'll take me as much or more effort to get them to do something as it would take for me to do it myself (with or without their "help.")

But, at least at that point, I'll be the one who gets to do the heckling!

Missionary Who Lost a Leg Gets Free Hunting Trip

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily In 2011, while in Brazil on an LDS Mission, Logan Bagley lost his left leg in an accident. He always had a flair for adventure and met up with the Chairbound Sportsman Organization at the Western Hunting Expo earlier this spring. During the Chairbound Sportsman Banquet, May 4, a one-day Turkey and Ram Sheep hunt at the Big Mountain Ranch was auctioned off. The high bidder was Tony Thurber, a long-time supporter of the Chairbound Sportsman activities.

Tony then donated the turkey and ram sheep hunt to the Chairbound Sportsman who in turn selected Logan Bagley of Tooele, Utah as the beneficiary of this free hunting experience. Logan has been excited to go on this new adventure which occurred Saturday, May 25.

It was a beautiful Saturday after a week of rain and Logan and has wife Dixie found their way to Kelly Prestwich’s Big Mountain Ranch in Elberta,

Utah. Tony Thurber and his brother Rod were there with his ATV to assist in the hunt that he had donated. Kenneth Vaughn brought the Chairbound Sportsmen Action Track chair for Logan to use. The first event of the day was a little target practice on a shooting range the Kelly had set up near his ranch house.

One shot satisfied everyone of Logan’s marksmanship ability.

Then, the hunting party moved out to the hunting area a little over 4 miles from the Big Mountain Ranch House.

The first objective was a turkey hunt for Logan. Using a turkey call, several birds responded but could not be seen for the heavy brush. The hunt went on, then a turkey head popped up, only to disappear again. Now, our turkey hunter knew he was in the right neighborhood and just had to position himself for a clean shot.

Thanks to the mobility of the Track Chair, Logan worked his way around the brush to get his shot. He got two turkeys, one that weighted 21 pounds and another that weighted 18 pounds.

Chairbound Sportsment hunter Logan Bagley bags 2 turkeys.

Now it was time for the Corsican Ram Sheep hunt and Kelly Prestwich had already briefed the hunting party that a trophy ram sheep was in the area.

After more than an hour searching where Kelly thought the animal would be, the hunting party got a glimpse of a ram head. While Logan was setting up his rifle on a tripod the ram sheep stood up, looked at the hunters, and disappeared in the trees. It was a beautiful animal and the hunters spent another hour searching for another glimpse of the ram. When he was finally spotted again, Logan was ready with the rifle on his tripod after

a short walk on crutches from the track chair. After patiently waiting for the ram to be in position for the best shot, the animal was brought down with one shot at 120 yards. Logan Bagley thought he had lost the ability to ever hunt again but discovered on this day that his passion for hunting can be obtained. Logan said that he does not want to live vicariously through anyone. He said he realizes he can live with the challenges and have new experiences for himself, Congratulations Logan Bagley.

Seven Brides for Seven Chairbound Sportsman Brothers is Coming to Salem 2019 Banquet Actors rehearse for Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

Photo: Ed Helmick

By Janice Helmick for Serve Daily When was the last time you had a rip-roaring, foot-stomping good time?

If it’s been a while, I can offer you one. Salem Community Theater will be performing Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and the cast is rehearsing right now for the show that starts July 25 and plays every day except Sunday through August 1. The performances take place at Salem Hills High School, 150 Skylark Blvd., Salem, Utah. Regular performances begin at 7 p.m. and there is a Saturday Matinee at 1 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $10, or through Salem City for $8 (www.salemcity.org/ young-perfomers.htm). Discount tickets will be offered for groups of 8 or more, senior citizens and all military ($1 more at the door.)

The story is set in Oregon in 1850 and tells the story of seven backwoodsmen led by their pompous, determined older brother Adam. He meets the beautiful Milly and marries her the same day.

Milly immediately sets to work taming her new brothers so they can take brides of their own. However, her plan doesn’t work resulting in chaos and with high energy dancing and wonderful songs like “Goin’ Courtin,’” “Sobbin; Women.”

And “Wonderful, Wonderful Day.” The cast includes Chris Spendlove and Gordon McKay as Adam Pontipee with Jory Bourne and Hannah Spencer as Milly. The Pontipee brothers are played by Daniel Bradley, Mark Crowder, Matthew Mason, Marcus Williams, Kai Hansen, and Brendon Hanks. For more information on Salem Community Theater visit their Facebook, or email them atwww. salemcommunitytheater@gmail.com.

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily The 10th annual fund-raising banquet for the Chairbound Sportsman was held May 4 at the Provo Marriott Hotel with 290 people in attendance. This was an excited group of people interested in supporting the great efforts and noble intentions of the Chairbound Sportsman Organization. This is a wonderful group of people helping individuals continue their passions for the outdoor life of hunting and fishing. This banquet is the major fund-raising event of the year to support the many hunting and fishing trips scheduled in the year ahead.

Extreme Modus, a start-up company in Orem, displayed their new off-road push wheelchair specifically designed to get disabled children and young adults onto backcountry trails with their friends. Two electric Action Track “off-road” Chairs were also on display. There was a lot to see and interesting people to socialize with.

One of the highlights of the evening was a large wooden flag and certificate awarded to Master Sargent, Retired, Gordon Ewell, from Eagle Mountain for his outstanding support to our community and veterans. Gordy, as he likes to be called, retired from the Army in February 2010 with over 24 years of honorable

service. His medical retirement was the result of several serious injuries resulting from his job in Iraq as a “Route Clearance Expert” or bomb hunter. He is certainly one of our hometown heroes, and he remains an amazingly active supporter of the Chairbound Sportsman.

This year’s fundraising was made possible with over 100 products and services being donated by local business and individuals. The grand prize was a top of the line Traeger Century 34 Grill and the door prize was a large Lifetime cooler.

Twenty items were sold at a live auction following dinner. Thirty-eight items were sold at silent auction and 49 products were raffled off. Just over $23,000 was raised for the Chairbound Sportsman Organization. Additionally, $2,000 was raised for a Chairbound Sportsman volunteer, Jonathan Pemberton, who was recently seriously injured in a motorcycle accident. The Chairbound Sportsman Organization can use additional donations to support its good work. They are a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization, and donations are tax deductible. To donate contact Kenneth Vaughn at (801) 499-9770. Their goal is to help wheelchair-bound and disabled civilians and veterans to have free hunting, fishing, and outdoor experiences.

In Our Back Yard

Museum of Ancient Life

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily In our April issue, we visited the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry soon to be called Jurassic National Monument. The quarry is a good example of dinosaur bones being removed from the dirt and rocks of the earth that surrounds them.

That raises the question of where can we find one of the worlds largest collections of mounted dinosaurs in our back yard.

The answer to that question is Thanksgiving Point Museum of Ancient Life. It is only about a 30-minute drive from south Utah County up I-15 to Thanksgiving Point. You will find over 50 standing dinosaurs, including some of the largest and tallest, plus over 100 flying reptiles.

Thanksgiving Point was founded in 1995 as a non-profit farm, garden, and museum complex. The Museum of Ancient Life first opened in 2000 after a group of Utah paleontologists brought the concept of a world-class dinosaur museum to the Thanksgiving Point Organization. One goal of the museum was to make the visitor feel immersed in the museum’s displays. The staff Paleontologist, Rick Hunter, has been involved in creating most of the displays for the past 20 years. It is a huge world class museum with one of the world’s largest collections of standing dinosaurs. In addition, he still

does field work for the museum at a Wyoming site. He is also involved in lab tours and teaching events at the museum. It is a unique museum experience. The exhibits are arranged so visitors can walk amongst these ancient creatures to give you a feel for their size, large and small. The museum has 50 interactive exhibits to entertain and educate kids of all ages, including parents and grandparents.

You are greeted in the lobby by lifesize skeletons of an Othnielosaurus fleeing from a Torvosaurus. That is a classic display that catches your interest before you get to the Admission/Information Desk. The entrance fee is $20 for adults, $15 for children and seniors for an all day, come and go pass. For those needing mobility assistance, wheelchairs are available for $10. Your admission will give you look at the Working Paleontological Lab and then you will start your roaming exploration of chambers of ancient life A dinosaur specimen in the Museum of Ancient Life. including a Carboniferous Forest and a Cretaceous Ocean eventually leading you to the room of dinosaur skeletons you can walk among. There is plenty for the kids to do along the way, they can design a dinosaur, play with the erosion table, and dig in a dino quarry. The museum also has a large Imax 3-D movie theater for scheduled science education movies.

We have an amazing educational opportunity in our back yard.
