Nephi opens new soccer fields at Town Square By Kjirstin Youngberg for Serve Daily Citizens and soccer aficionados from Nephi and surrounding areas gathered on April 23, to dedicate the Town Square Park Soccer Fields at 200 North and 200 East in Nephi City. Mayor Glade Nielson was there with members of the the Nephi City Counsel to thank residents who supported them in the first PAR TAX funded community project. Thanks were also given for the city departments, Parks,
Recreation, Electrical and especially the Groundskeepers, who kept the flooded grass areas dry for soccer practices and games held that day. Children as young as three can participate on soccer teams, and Recreation Director John Bradley spoke on the history of growth in soccer in the city. He also gave awards to citizens Ruth Bonzo and Russ Bender for their dedication and support of the game. Cache Valley Bank was a large donor to the project, and Branch Manager Jason Nephi Mayor Glade Nielson with Real Salt Lake’s Leo the Lion.

Soccer Fields at Town Square. Morrell was given a special thank you from Mayor Nielsen. Also on hand for the festivities was Mary Van Minde, Real Salt Lake’s Foundation Director, and Kyle Schroeder, Director of RSL’s Community Relations. By far the biggest treat for the soccer kids was having Leo the Lion, Mascot for Real Salt Lake, join their teams in a
couple of plays. He also stood for photos with the children, and tossed out free RSL tee-shirts. The Town Square Park’s vision for the future includes plans for a possible playground and picnic pavilion. Snacks were served by the Nephi City Council.

Salem teen creates Relay for Life in memory of brother By Arianne Brown for Serve Daily For the past several months, 18-yearold Salem Hills High School student, Anna Nye has been volunteering her time mentoring special needs kids in her school with a focus on making sure that each has friends and feels a positive connection to other students. She is now taking her efforts to a more public level and is running for Miss Salem, adding suicide awareness to her platform. Both causes are deeply personal. It was in April of 2018 when Anna lost her 19-year-old brother, Michael to suicide. According to Anna, her brother loved the great outdoors. including fishing and hunting, and overcame many challenges despite being on the autism spectrum. “Michael had a heart of gold,”she said. “He was so willing to serve others and include them. Michael was diagnosed with an auditory processing disorder when he was younger, and he was on the autism spectrum. He had a hard time hearing people, and didn’t understand a lot of things. Despite this, he loved to talk to people, laugh, and go outside and play. He absolutely loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting, you name it. He was a walking mountain man at 6’1” and 230 pounds! He was a gentle giant who tried his hardest, despite the things he went through everyday. He is my hero, and I hope someday I can be just like him.” Knowing that suicide could happen to someone like her brother, is what made Anna want to spread awareness. “I believe society doesn’t talk about sensitive topics like suicide, enough,” she said. “Suicide is becoming a really big problem, and it’s not only affected me but so many others. I want people to know that. I want people to be aware of this rising issue. I know sharing my story and my brother’s story will help others feel like they can reach out, lift up their voices and share their stories too. I hope it will especially inspire those who are suffering from suicidal thoughts and mental health issues. My brother loved helping others, so that’s what I’m going to do, too.” But it isn’t just increased suicide awareness that Anna wants to accomplish -- the high school senior wants to educate people on how to help. “I want to educate people on suicide,”
Miss Salem candidate Anna Nye with her brother, Michael. she said.” When my brother took his life, I didn’t know what to do. My whole life I’d never once been taught what to look for in a person who was feeling suicidal. I didn’t know my brother was hurting, because he seemed perfectly fine. I want to inspire others to lift up their voices about mental health and suicide. That’s the only way we can fix this.” In order to do this, Anna has chosen to do a Relay for Mental Health as her service project as a candidate for Miss Salem. This relay will take place on May 18 at Salem Hills High School. Participants will be able to run/walk around the track, there will be vendors that specialize in educating the public, inspirational speakers, and suicide prevention training put on by the QPR Institute. “My goal with this is to present a fun atmosphere to get educated in, and earn money to help spread even more awareness throughout the community of Salem,” she said. “I have teamed up with different organizations to make this relay happen, and without them this wouldn’t be happening, so I’m very grateful for them and all their kind sacrifices.”<br>The Relay for Life will take place on May 18 at Salem Hills High School.

My Story Matters intern Tori Snell with her family.
By Tori Snell for Serve Daily My Story Matter relies heavily on interns. They are such a integral part of our success. We love and appreciate all they do to help us with our mission. This month we wanted to highlight our incredible intern for Winter Semester. Tori Snell. Tori not only interned for us, but she is also a student, and wife and a mother and works a part-time job as well. We asked her to share part of her story. "When my husband and I decided to have a baby while we were still completing our bachelor degrees, we knew that it would be difficult. We would have to make some changes in order to make everything work. Because I had fewer classes to take to complete my degree and I worked from home already, we decided that I would be the one who would spend most of the time looking after the baby. "Juggling motherhood, work, and school have been difficult. Surprisingly, there has been a lot of support from other people so that I could still do everything I needed to. I was very blessed to have a job where I could work from home, and the professor who supervises me was very understanding after I had my baby and let me take the time I needed to get back to work. My husband and I figured out our class schedules so that we could both go to class without the baby. On the occasion one of us had to take the baby to class, the professors were very understanding and
welcoming to the little visitor. "I needed to have an internship in order to graduate. In my search for an internship, I knew that it would be difficult to find one that would work with me, as I would have the baby for the majority of the day while my husband was at school and work. One of the reasons why I looked into My Story Matters was because they were flexible with hours that interns worked. I would be able to bring my baby to most of the meetings and most of my work would be done at home, letting me work around my baby’s schedule. "Having to go to class after spending the night feeding my baby every three hours made it hard to concentrate and engage. Finding time to do my homework was hard, so I started to get creative with my time. I would read my textbooks during my late night and early morning feedings, I could write essays while the baby had tummy time or took a nap. I would take breaks from work to play with her which would always make me feel less stressed. "I may not have been able to devote all my time (or even most of my time) to exclusively looking after my daughter, but she is the most important thing in my life. Even though it was hard I feel that having a baby while we were still in school was ultimately a great decision. When I look at her and think about how much I love her, it makes everything worth it." Such a dedicated student, wife and mother, Tori is a great example of why we love our interns.

Disabled Air Force Veteran from Spanish Fork heals through competitive sports, hopes others will, too By Arianne Brown for Serve Daily From a young age, Spanish Fork resident Joshua Smith always loved playing sports and being physically active. This way of life followed him through a 13year career in the United States Air Force where he earned the rank of Technical Sergeant. His years of service brought him great pride and joy and fulfilled his need to maintain a healthy lifestyle — that is, until one day during a routine training. It was at a combat training in the summer of 2008 when it happened. Smith was in a simulated war situation, being taught how to stay alive if he were to be captured as a prisoner of war, and he was badly injured, hurting his shoulder, hip and back. The injury would require Smith to get his hips replaced, suffer debilitating pain in other areas of his body, and worst of all, get medically discharged from the Air Force after being found to be unfit for duty. “Being found unfit for duty and unable to continue to serve my country was extremely difficult,” Smith said. “Even though my injuries didn’t happen during combat, it is still hard physically, mentally and emotionally because I’ve had to leave behind something that has been a part of me for so long.” Three years ago, however, Smith discovered something that helped disabled veterans like himself regain confidence and physical activity while still representing their country. What he discovered was the Air Force Warrior Games, which is a program that lets disabled veterans com-

pete in paralympic-style athletics. As a member of the Air Force Warrior Team, Smith has competed around the country, and was even sent to Australia to
compete in the Invictus Games created by Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex this past October. “Being part of the Air Force Warrior
Team has helped me to find a way around and adapt to these injuries,” Smith said. “It has helped with healing and recovery, letting me know that there are still things that I can do. Physical activity has been such a big part of my physical and mental well-being, and it is so good to have the opportunity to continue that way of life through these games.” Smith said that competing with and against other disabled veterans has given him a sense of perspective, gratitude and has even inspired him, too. “As I’ve traveled around the country and world in these events, I have seen that there are many who have suffered much worse than I have,” Smith said. “Seeing them overcome these physical injuries — many who also struggle with PTSD and suicidal thoughts — has inspired me. I have also realized how important programs like these are not just for the physical aspect, but for disabled veterans to be able to connect with others like them.” It is these realizations that have sent Smith on a mission to educate the public, in particular disabled veterans, about these programs so that they, too can have a chance at a better life after their injuries. “I want to spread awareness to the public about how vital these types of programs are for wounded, ill, injured, and disabled service members and veterans,” Smith said. “Being able to spread that awareness I hope will also encourage people to watch the Warrior Games and Invictus Games that are often televised, to support those who have sacrificed so much for the benefit of our country.” For more information on how to be a part of the Wounded Warrior Games, go to dodwarriorgames.com.

The Power to Learn By Julie Hall for Serve Daily The My Story Matters lesson we are introducing for May is the Power to Learn. In this lesson, students list all the things they already know. They explore what they want to know or learn and they discover how they can learn what they want. This lesson also teaches that mistakes are not only good but they are a must in the learning process. But many students view learning as hard and challenging. Failure often defeats young self-esteems and progress is halted.But there is a way to help. One of the principles taught in the Power to Learn section is the power of the word “YET”. As we observed one of our first-grade classes exploring their power to learn we were taught the power behind
a small and simple word—YET. There are many things in life we don’t know how to do—YET. When we add that simple word behind all of our “I can’t” statements it gives us lots of opportunities to learn, to observe, to fail, to try again, and eventually to succeed. Using the word YET gives our brains permission to acknowledge what we do not know how to do without a- if I can not do it now, I never will- mentality. So armed with this power, our challenge to you as Summer begins is to utilize the Power of YET. See how it changes your mindset and how you learn. Start with just one thing you can not do and work towards achieving it. Amaze yourself with the number of new skills and new knowledge you acquire. You will be surprised at what you can accomplish by using this small and simple word-YET.

Despiste wet spring, wildfires Old Springville Pool gets are still a danger this summer new life as Fieldhouse By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily
By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily
This is the first article in a series on public safety issues for our area. The advent of spring and warmer weather in south Utah County conjures up memories of last year’s summer. And we can’t think of last year’s summer without thinking of the devastating wildfires that impacted all residents in large and small ways. According to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, “a total of 1,314 wildfires were reported in Utah last year, burning nearly 486,000 acres.” Most of that acreage was in our backyard here in south Utah County and resulted in over $100 million in losses and costs. And now, several months after the fires have been extinguished, the impacts on fish, wildlife and their habitat areas are still being seen. Communities were forever changed by the Pole Creek, Bald Mountain, and Coal Hollow fires that ripped through our area. The outreach and support felt as families were evacuated from their homes and hundreds of firefighters risked their lives helped our community grow stronger together. However, no one wants a repeat of last year. Fire hazard in the area will likely be high again. We’ve had a wet spring, causing extra grass and weed growth. This is all well and good; however, if we have a dry and abnormally hot summer like last year, all of that dry material will become a problematic fire risk. George Hansen of the Utah Department of Public Safety and the Highway Patrol reminds us that most of the south Utah County communities are adjacent to open mountain areas, making them susceptible to forest fire: “So much of the underbrush was destroyed [last year], leaving exposed soil to heavy rains or spring water runoff that it would be easy to have flooding in communities like Covered Bridge, Woodland Hills, and Elk Ridge.” We can all play a role in implementing what we learned last year to make sure this year’s fire season is better. “People don’t normally focus on preparation for a disaster or negative incidents until they are forced to. Last year showed that people need to be more vigilant,” Hansen
Springville City has created a new and unique recreation opportunity in the building that housed the old Springville swimming pool. After the new Clyde Recreation Center with swimming pool opened, the old pool was drained, filled in with dirt, then covered with cement and turf. The building has now reopened as the new Springville Fieldhouse. “It was an idea from the city leaders to transform it to make it useable,” said Recreation Coordinator Jody Gooch. “It’s a good way to use the space for now.”

The Pole Creek Fire lights up the sky. says. Hansen cautions against becoming complacent in these things, explaining that we all need to be “more conscious about our environment, the hazards that are around us and our home. When recreating outside, pay attention to things that could lead to potential disasters.” Leann Fox, the communications and prevention coordinator of the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands shared some helpful suggestions on the wildlife.utah.gov website: • Stay on legal roads and trails to avoid impacting any habitat restoration in burn scar areas that have been reseeded. • Never drive or park over dry grass or brush. Exhaust systems and other vehicle equipment can get hot enough to start fires. • Because many of Utah's wildfires are started by vehicles on highways, make sure your vehicle maintenance is always up to date and make sure there is no loose or dragging equipment. • Be extra cautious when target shooting. • Always keep your campfire small and clear the surrounding area of any flammable material. Always fully extinguish your campfire before leaving an area. • Before burning debris on your property, you must have a permit and should check weather conditions. • Fireworks are illegal on all state and federal lands so do not use fireworks anywhere except in designated areas and seasons.

The facility consists of one big field, a 100x100 ft. area that is netted and contained. It has been used for soccer, baseball, softball and lacrosse. Right now there are no goals or batting cages, though they may be in the plans for the future. No food or drink or metal cleats are allowed. “It’s still fairly new, we’re still figuring things out as we go,” said Gooch. There is a rental fee of $55 an hour. The field is currently available from 4 to 10 Monday through Friday and on Saturday from 8 to 5. Payment is due when the reservation is made.

GINNY’S GENEALOGICAL GEMS
Timelines are Great Tools for Genealogists By Ginny Ackerson for Serve Daily
Using timelines can help you see a family in the context of itself and history and timelines can help you assure accuracy by sorting out families that have similar names and dates. There are personal timelines for individuals, family timelines for a nuclear family and historical timelines that show the individual or family within the context of local, national and world history. An individual timeline starts with a person’s birth and ends with their burial or completion of their probate. It shows births of younger siblings, his marriages, births of their children, and deaths of primary family members such as parents, siblings, spouses and children. You can make it as detailed as you want it to be. A nuclear family timeline starts with a couple and contains information on all of their children and can be extended to the grandchildren without too much confusion. You can see that an individual timeline will turn into a nuclear family timeline when they marry. Historical timelines place the births, marriages and deaths along a timeline of local, national or world events. Knowing that when your great-grandparents were children several major Civil War battles were fought on their farmland and that they were actually in enemy territory after these battles helps us to understand or
imagine what life was like for them. Historical timelines can also indicate other wars or events that may have affected the history of your family such as the California Gold Rush and the acquisition of the Alaska territory in 1863. In my pedigree, there are several men named William Brooks. Two of them married women with the name of Mary, one married an Ann and the rest married Elizabeths. By doing a nuclear timeline for each family and adding records like land, tax and probate I was able to sort them all out. There are many ways to do timelines and these are some excellent articles on the subject: https://www.familysearch.org/blog/en/ timelines-plot-ancestors-life/ https://www.familytreemagazine.com/ articles/genealogy_records/maps/how-icreated-a-genealogy-timeline-to-showmy-grandfathers-life/ https://www.thoughtco. com/genealogy-research-timelines-1422730<br>https://familyhistorydaily.com/genealogy-help-and-how-to/ ancestor-timeline/ https://www.cyndislist.com/timelines/ templates/<br>http://genealogydecoded.com/2012/09/21/creating-timelines-to-make-sense-of-genealogy-records/ https://www.focusedfamilyresearch. com/timelines.html https://www.cyndislist.com/timelines/ general/

Colorado River reliable water source Falling storage levels at both lakes Powell and Mead have highlighted the potential effects of climate change on the Colorado River, causing some to question its future viability as a reliable water supply source for the state of Utah. “All water providers, including the State of Utah, understand the level of concern some have regarding the perceived uncertainty associated with the use of Colorado River water,” said Eric Millis, director of the Utah Division of Water Resources. “The Colorado River is reliable. We work closely with our federal partners and other basin states to plan for future needs and mitigate potential impacts. The drought contingency plans recently outlined by the Upper and Lower Basin states serve as an example of such planning.” When looking at whether the river can meet future needs, scientists, water pro-
viders, and those who manage the river look at its past performance during varying weather conditions. Colorado River flows are cyclical, as are weather patterns. “In both wet and dry cycles over the past century, the river has always provided enough water to meet established uses and compact requirements,” said Don Ostler of the Upper Colorado River Commission. “Recent hydrologic modeling, based on projected drought scenarios, has shown the river to be capable of remaining a reliable supply for the Upper Basin into the future, especially if the basin states continue to work cooperatively on sensible drought contingency plans.” The 2012 Basin Study and associated climate model projections indicate a potential decrease in mean natural flow of the Colorado River of approximately 9 percent over the next 50 years.

Wilson Elementary fifth-graders provide service project at Peteetneet By Arianne Brown for Serve Daily On April 19, fifth graders from Wilson Elementary in Payson took a field trip to Peteetneet Museum. Unlike other trips to this historic site, however, this was not to view any of the artifacts within the building. This trip was a service project to clean up the flower beds located along the staircase behind the building. The field trip was spearheaded by the fifth grade teachers who decided while planning for the school year that they wanted students to be involved in the community. “Last summer while we were planning for this year, we decided to do a special activity or field trip each month, and we thought it would be good to do things in or for the community,” fifth-grade teacher Dan Hansen said. “We had a kickball game with the city officials earlier this year and presented our Veterans Day Program at the Veterans home. This time, we thought it would be good for the kids to see how great a town Payson is, and that it's important for them to get involved in the community and perform a little service when they see a need.” The original plan, Hansen said, was to work with the Forest Service and plant some trees up the canyon, but after the fires, they were told that it wouldn't be possible this year. They even thought about doing some clean up in the mountain bike park, Four Bay, but that wasn’t a good option at the time, either. Hansen didn’t give up on his desire to have the students serve, so a few days before the trip, he had the thought to go to the Peteetneet Museum. “It wasn't until a few days before when I thought of talking to Ray Wilson about Peteetneet,” Hansen said. “Ray is a volunteer who lives in my neighborhood, and I know the groundskeeping has always been a big job for him. He was very appreciative of the offer to have the students help out there. It turned out to be a good activity for a big group of kids to do.” When the students were told that they were going to help clean up at the museum, Hansen said most were not too excited, but after explaining the importance
of helping in your community, their attitudes began to shift. “I'm not sure that many of them were very excited when we first talked about it,” Hansen said. "But we got all of the classes together before we left and had a pretty good discussion about the importance of being involved in the community, and even though they are just kids, they can be involved, do something important, and make a difference. They had a pretty good attitude after that.” Students were encouraged to bring their own gloves and tools to help, and they all worked together until the job was done. When they were done, Ray Wilson told them how much he appreciated their help, and he encouraged them to be involved in the community ﹘ and to come back again. “As teachers, we thought it was a great activity, and we've already talked about this becoming a tradition ﹘ and so did Ray!” Hansen said. “It's good for for the kids to be involved in the community, and it's also good for the community to see the kids doing something positive.” The time spent at Peteetneet wasn’t all work, however. As a school, the students have been learning about the 7 Habits, one of which is to put first things first ﹘ particularly to get work done before play. After cleaning out the flower beds, the kids enjoyed a fun game of ultimate frisbee in the fields at the museum ﹘ a just reward for a job well-done.
Wilson Elementary students provide service at the Petetneet Museum.

SFHS Auto Body Repair By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily You can not help but be amazed at the number of cars and trucks on our streets and roads. That also means that a few of these vehicles get dents, dings, rust, and occasionally seriously crunched. That means there is a huge need for auto body technicians. To fill that career need the Nebo School District offers a two-year Auto Body Collision and Repair course that can earn UVU college credit. The first year is basic repair and painting and the second year is advanced techniques repair and welding. Students from SFHS as well as the other 5 high schools in the school district can enroll in the program. Each class has 25 students and with one exception, a student from Mapleton High School, all the current students are from Spanish Fork High School My Jeep had a rust issue at a seam in
the left front fender that I wanted taken care of before it got worse. The advanced class was looking for a project like that to work, and I decided to let them take on the project. All I would have to pay for was the cost of materials. The only hitch is you cannot be in a hurry, the time estimate was 4 to 5 weeks to fix the fender and repaint the hood whose clear coat was peeling off. They did agree to have it finished for the Moab Easter Jeep Safari. Under the careful supervision of Chet Harmer the auto body instructor, the senior students got the job done and it looks great. I understand they only take on about four projects a year like this and I am glad I gave the students a chance at a real-world rust repair project. I am proud to show off the professional work of our local high school students. It is also good news to see these kinds of vocational courses being offered to meet college credit and the hiring needs of the collision repair businesses of Utah.

Nebo Students Enjoy SheTech Conference
On April 9th, the SheTech was held in Salt Lake, Utah. Women Tech Council’s SheTech program is the largest industry-led STEM program to activate, engage and inspire high school girls into STEM degrees and successful careers with over 12,000 participants. The masses of girls in attendance were broken up into teams, and then the teams were given an allotted time to come up with a challenge, or project in that time frame. This was an "on the spot" challenge to see what these teams could come up with "spur of the moment." Teams were given a real natural disaster situation and had to come up with a way to overcome the challenges of that natural disaster. The team from Nebo School District created a design for a solar powered light that would allow survivors to be found sooner as well as provide a basic need to people in the disaster. The teams’ design and presentation earned them the 1st place honors. Judges came from Technol-
ogy companies from all over Utah. The plan or challenge the winning team, "A5", came up with was this: "Our plan to provide immediate support and relief to the people of Puerto Rico is to find people and then help people. With the use of highly durable and high tech drones, we will analyze the island and create a 3D mapping system complete with locations and possible routes. Heat sensors paired with HD zoom cameras allow remote operators to locate human life more efficiently. These drones carry light, inflatable plastic shelters that a cost-efficient and made of recycled materials. When delivered and deployed, they contain basic emergency medical supplies, radios, survival guides, and food and water filters. They can host from 5-10 people. The purpose of these is to give basic emergency support until human teams can locate the victims. In the future, we have plans to use communications or even holograms to instruct and direct life-saving care. We are also designing the drones to

Two-time NBA champion, former Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach, and former Stanford University basketball star Mark Madsen was officially named the men’s basketball head coach at Utah Valley University, becoming just the third coach for men’s basketball in UVU’s 16year Division I history. “Mark Madsen has reached the pinnacle of his sport as an NBA champion — not once, but twice. He knows what it takes to succeed in basketball and in life,” said Astrid S. Tuminez, president of UVU. “Off the court, Coach Madsen earned a bachelor’s degree in economics and an MBA before launching an extensive coaching career. With his strengths and experience, he will inspire our student-athletes in and out of competition, and will help us build even stronger relationships with our broader UVU community.” Madsen will take over the Utah Valley program after serving the past six seasons as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers. He was a two-time NBA champion as a player with the Lakers (2001 and 2002), and he played for the Minnesota Timberwolves for six seasons. “Utah Valley University is an amazing institution, and I’m excited to be the new head coach at the largest and fastest-growing school in the state of Utah,” said Madsen. “I love the mission that President Tuminez has put forth for the university, and I am excited to be a part of it. I can’t wait to get to work and start helping our players achieve their goals.” Following his playing career, Mad-
sen served as an assistant coach during the 2009-10 season with the Utah Flash of the NBA G League before returning to his alma mater, Stanford University, where he earned an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business in 2012. That same year, he was named an assistant coach at Stanford on Johnny Dawkins’ staff and spent the 2012-13 season working in recruiting, opponent game planning, and player skill development. Madsen spent four years as a player at Stanford (1996-2000), where he earned All-American honors in each of his final two seasons while helping the Cardinals to four NCAA Tournament appearances, including the 1998 Final Four. He gained the nickname “Mad Dog” while at Stanford for his aggressive style of play. The nickname stayed with him throughout his NBA career. Madsen averaged 10.9 points and 7.0 rebounds per game during his four seasons with the Cardinals. He ranks fourth all-time in field goal percentage (58.7) and sixth in rebounds (857). During his time at Stanford, the team compiled an impressive 105-24 overall record. “Mark Madsen embodies the mission and vision that we strive for here at UVU. He’s hungry and filled with passion. Coach Madsen will work tirelessly to help his players achieve their dreams,” said Dr. Jared Sumsion, interim athletic director. A native of Danville, Calif., Madsen earned his undergraduate degree in economics in 2000. He graduated from San Ramon Valley High School and served a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Spain. He and his wife, Hannah, have one son, William.
a New York City trip that students say was a life-changing experience because students were introduced to what life is outside of Utah County. Laurie works long hours and is always available to help a student reach their full potential. A student said, ‘Mrs. Hansen spends every day giving, serving, and inspiring; yet remains humble. She shows students how to reach any goal and climb any mountain. She is a friend to the friendless, a guide to the lost, and a supporter of the weak. Mrs. Hansen inspires students to make their dreams a reality!’” 18

Jared Massic, is presented with an award by Karen Huntsman.
By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily Nebo School District's Mr. Jared Massic, welding teacher at Maple Mountain High School, was surprised in front of his welding students by Karen Huntsman and Jennifer Parkin with the prestigious honor of being awarded the Huntsman Award for Excellence in Education. Previous students and their parents, as well as current students, faculty, and staff, were cheering Mr. Massic on for this prestigious award. Jared will be honored on Friday, April 26, at the Grand America Ballroom. “The Huntsman Education Awards reward bright and capable individuals working in Utah’s public schools. By celebrating these individuals, the awards seek to inspire current educators and to rekindle interest in the teaching profession among young people. Eleven winners will be selected in recognition of their outstanding contributions to Utah’s public school system and each will receive $10,000, donated by the Huntsman family,” states the Huntsman website. “The late Jon M. Huntsman, Sr. and
his wife Karen established the Huntsman Education Awards in 1993 as an expression of their passion for supporting and enhancing publicly funded education. Because Jon Huntsman, Sr. came from a long line of educators, bolstering public education in Utah will always be a very personal labor of love for the Huntsman family. “The Huntsmans are deeply humbled and gratified that these awards are considered to be among the most prestigious honors for individual educators in the state. The Huntsman family is closely involved in the exhaustive selection process, after which winners are invited to an awards banquet for past and current honorees, where they will receive a crystal obelisk and a check for $10,000. “Because the object of the awards is to celebrate the individuals who have made unique contributions to the lives and education of Utah’s public schoolchildren, the Huntsmans prefer that honorees spend their award money on themselves, instead of reinvesting in their schools or classrooms," the site reads.

Club members are Alexis Nelson, Sariah Shoemaker, Kennedy Taber, Kylee Whiting, and Leia Bassett. Club facilitator is Krystle Bassett. The team received framed certificates, a club trophy, and $1,000 to expand computer science programs. Loyal STEM education supporter and KUTV news anchor Holly Menino emceed the event, which drew Challenge finalists, their GWC peers and families, and community supporters, amounting to
nearly 200 celebrants. Offered in partnership with Carbonite, Comcast, Centeva and Recursion, the Utah STEM Foundation Entrepreneurial Challenge was launched to encourage greater female representation in STEM, as well as to inspire girls’ pursuit of leadership roles, entrepreneurship, and challenge them to aim for career opportunities in which women have been—and continue to be—underrepresented. “Our economy, our society, we are just losing out because we are not raising our girls to be brave,” said Emily Ong, Senior Manager of Girls Who Code Community Partnerships and Outreach, who traveled from the nonprofit’s NYC headquarters for this first-of-its-kind event. “The bravery deficit is why women are underrepresented in STEM, in C-suites, in boardrooms, in Congress, and pretty much everywhere you look.” Entries addressed contemporary societal issues.

Ryan Mortgage was named Business of the Month by the Payson Chamber.
Transportation and housing prices up along Wasatch Front The Zions Bank Wasatch Front Consumer Price Index (CPI) jumped 0.9% from February to March on a non-seasonally adjusted basis. Year over year, the Wasatch Front Consumer Price Index has grown 4.3%, while the national Consumer Price Index has increased 1.9% since March of last year. With the exception of utilities where prices remained flat, prices ticked up across every other sector in March. Transportation prices drove the overall price increase in March, rising by 3.2% since February. Year over year, due largely to lower-than-average gas prices, transportation prices increased 0.1%. Housing prices, which rose 0.5% in March, were the second largest contributor in the month-to-month overall price change. On an annual basis, for the eighth straight month, housing prices were the primary driver of 12-month price growth.
This growth, while still strong, appears to be slowing as the housing sector posted its lowest 12-month price growth since September 2018 — a 7.8% year-overyear increase. “The rapid rise in housing prices across the Wasatch Front has come primarily due to population growth and housing supply constraints,” said Scott Anderson, president and CEO of Zions Bank. “As the Wasatch Front continues to build out, we are seeing developers provide higher density approaches to land use as a way to address anticipated future price growth.” Meanwhile, gas prices are set to grow across Utah in the near term, according to Randy Shumway, chairman and partner at Cicero Group. “The U.S. average has been inching higher and is currently ahead of Utah’s price per gallon by a little more than twenty cents,” Shumway said.

Springville business owners make their television debut By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily Springville business Rustica Hardware was recently featured in a show on the A&E television network. Slated for several more episodes and met with an enthusiastic response, “Rustic Remodel” follows Kate and Paul Allen as they use their creativity and know-how to help families with remodeling projects. The brainchild of the Allens, Rustica Hardware, opened its doors in 2007. The showroom was created four years ago from what was originally a service station built in 1938. They also have a production center that houses a wood shop, metal shop, shipping department, paint shop, and offices Although they do more business online in a global way, the showroom is a must see, with its jaw-dropping, second story boxes in which the many types of doors they make are suspended on a pulley system. The Allens want customers to have an experience when they enter. It is, at once, elegant and kitschy, polished and appropriately dusty. It smells of engine grease, wood, and scented candles. Many of the customers who walk in the doors say things like: “We drive past here every day and finally decided to come in. We had no idea this place was so amazing! Praise for the business culture of Rustica Hardware is also found in spades among the company’s fifty plus employ-
ees. Mary Faris has been employed by the Allens for over five years in various capacities. She says, “Paul is the creative genius and Kate is the business mind and together, they are the perfect person.” Employee NaeLyn Kearsley adds: “They are such good people,” and explains that it’s a very uplifting work environment. Constantly creating new and different things, Kate and Paul prefer the term “DIT” (“Do it Together) instead of DIY. Paul loves to mix metal and wood and has recently started making alder-topped tables with uniquely shaped metal legs. The latest trend in the corporate world is open concept, but designing the workspace in that way can result in some challenges, especially a lack of privacy. Looking beyond their offerings of desks and conference tables, the Allens were commissioned to create a privacy booth—a beautiful and functional soundproof conference room. They also designed a comfortable and private lactation station to be used in the workplace. Faris explains Paul’s extensive involvement in every aspect of the company: “Paul dreams it and creates it, and then the production center makes it.” The Allens are known for their work ethic, creativity, and a mutual love and respect that has spanned the years. The show, “Rustic Remodel,” required over two hundred hours of film to create the forty-minute episode.

They gave an evening performance for anyone in and around the community on Tuesday, April 16, at 7:30 at Springville High School, 1205 E. 900 S. Admission was free. Michael Bahr, the festival’s education director directed this production. He has been the festival’s education director for
twenty years. “For many of our audiences this will be the first time they have seen a professional Shakespeare production,” said Bahr. “This program seeks to entertain, enrich, and educate with innovative and accessible performances to rural and urban schools and communities, many of which would not have this opportunity otherwise.” Audiences were entertained and enriched with one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. The tour will be performing nearly 60 shows for over 120 schools and 25,000 students across the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, and Utah.

Louise Payne, Soprano, closes out 2018-2019 Sunday Concert Series By Ginny Ackerson for Serve Daily The last performance in the Sunday Concert Series for this season (there will be no concerts during June and July) will be given by soprano Louise Huber Payne on Sunday, May 19, at 4:30 p.m. at the Springville Museum of Art, 126 E. 400 South, Springville. This concert series is free to the public and is sponsored by the Springville Arts Commission. Payne, a soprano, has been singing for as long as she can remember. She has been singing professionally since 1985 and coaching voices since her first pedagogy class as a performance/pedagogy major at Brigham Young University in 1985. She also earned a double major in elementary education and currently works as a substitute teacher. Payne has had joy singing and acting in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ production of “Savior of the World” with her oldest two children. She has sung with Opera West, Utah Opera, Utah Lyric Opera, BYU Opera and Theater and Indiana’s Lafayette Civic Theater and Operetta as well as performed with local community theaters including
Springville’s “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” in 1994. She has given educational presentations on opera and the arts at schools and gives marriage enrichment presentations for couples and families with her husband, Tom. Payne will present a variety of songs in the genres of musical theater, opera and art song. Mark your calendars as our next scintillating season begins Sunday, August 18, 2019.

Payson Chorale to sing at Carnegie Hall in New York By Daniel Guss for Serve Daily Conductor David C. Dahlquist has chosen two humanitarian choral works with which to make his Carnegie Hall conducting debut. On Tuesday, May 28, he will direct the Payson Civic Chorale, which he founded in 1981, in Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, an anthem by British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Randall Thompson’s choral cycle to texts by Thomas Jefferson, The Testament of Freedom. It will be only the fourth time the Vaughan Williams work has been performed in Carnegie Hall, and the first in 60 years. The choir will also include members of Jacksonville Chapel Choir of Lincoln Park, New Jersey; the Brooklyn Community Chorus; and the Central Regional High School Choir of Bayville, New Jersey. The 8 pm performance, part of MidAmerica Productions’ 36th concert season, will be accompanied by the New England Symphonic Ensemble. “Many of the present Chorale members experienced Carnegie Hall and New York City in 2006 when we performed under the direction of John Rutter,” says Mr.

Dahlquist. “I chose not to perform that time so as to focus my attention on Dr. Rutter’s rehearsing and conducting techniques. I never imagined that after a career of 44 years as a music teacher and choral director, the invitation would be extended to me to step on stage at Carnegie Hall and direct. It feels like a culmination to, and validation of, a life’s work, for which I shall ever be grateful.” The two works he will conduct were composed two decades apart, one just after the first World War, the other at the height of the second. Composed in 1923, Vaughan Williams’ Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, with a text drawn from Ecclesiasticus 44 in the King James Bible, contrasts the tribute paid to famous people of accomplishment with those whose lives may have been anonymous, but nonetheless contributed to the welfare of mankind and thus are as deserving of memorial. The Testament of Freedom, a setting of four passages from the writings of Thomas Jefferson, was composed in 1943 to commemorate the bicentennial of his birth. Despite, or perhaps because of, its wartime origins, it sings eloquently of the triumph of the democratic ideal.

The Funny-ish Files Caleb Chapman and his Youth Searching for Perfection
Musicians to join SCERA season
(In a Box of Macaroni and Cheese) By Joe Capell for Serve Daily
Nobody's perfect. Not even me. Over the years I've made a lot of macaroni and cheese. You're probably thinking, "Hey, we've all made lots of macaroni and cheese." But what I'm telling you is I've made A LOT of macaroni and cheese! I was single until I was 40 years old, so I probably made macaroni and cheese at least once a week for twenty years. And now I'm a dad; kids love mac and cheese. I've got more experience making macaroni and cheese than just about anyone. You'd think I would be able to make a perfect box of macaroni and cheese every single time. Nope. Something almost always goes wrong. You say, "Really, how hard can it be to make a perfect box of macaroni and cheese?" It's tougher than you think. Just keeping all the noodles together can be problematic. Noodles can get away at several steps of the process, such as: 1) When pouring the dry noodles from the box to the pot, a noodle or two might miss the pan. 2) You might get a noodle that sticks to the box. 3) While trying to stir the noodles, some might escape over the edge of the pot. Or 4) When draining the water, sometimes noodles will spill out, or squeeze through the holes in the col-
ander. Of course, there's more that can go wrong besides noodles getting away. You could undercook the noodles. You could overcook the noodles. You could put in too much milk, leaving your macaroni and cheese a little soupy. You could put in not enough milk, leaving your macaroni and cheese a little dry. Or, probably the most common problem, the cheese sauce won't mix in quite right, leaving you with random glops of bright orange powder. Perfection isn't easy. But hey, who says we have to be perfect every time? Sometimes just trying to be perfect is good enough. Steph Curry is widely regarded as the best shooter in the NBA, but he has only had one season in his career where he made more than half of his shots. No baseball player has gotten hits on more than four out of ten tries for an entire season since Ted Williams in 1941. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees set a record for percentage of passes completed this season, but he still threw incompletions on more than one out of every four throws. Perfection isn't easy. But, we don't have to be perfect every time. If we make a mistake, we just need to move on and try again. And hey, if you add enough cheese, everything will turn out just fine.For more funny-ish stuff, check out SlowJoe40. com.

The Crescent Super Band
By April Berlin for Serve Daily The same youth musicians from Caleb Chapman’s Crescent Super Band who played to enthusiastic audiences in China earlier this month are presenting the same concert May 6 at the SCERA Center for the Arts. Tickets for the 7 p.m. Crescent Super Band and Voodoo Orchestra concert are available at scera.org, by calling 801-225ARTS, at the SCERA during office hours weekdays and Saturday, or at the door prior to performance. All seats are reserved at $14 for adults and $12 for children 3-11 and seniors 65 and older. An optional add-on is a pre-show hors d’oeuvres party from Custom Catering at 6 p.m. in room 101, adjacent to the theater. The cost is $5 per person, and reservations can be made online or by calling 801-225-ARTS between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. weekdays. Concert tickets must be
purchased separately. “Expect everything from American Songbook classics and Sinatra to big band music and contemporary music from Beyoncé and Bruno Marks.” Chapman says. It’s an exciting show designed to appeal to all audiences.” Chapman, who is celebrating 20 years at his Soundhouse Studio in American Fork, trains the best youth musicians anywhere and gives them professional experiences. “I have even had families relocate to Utah just so their children can audition for the program. I always find that amazing.” The training program by the musician, producer, educator and author augments Utah’s public schools. “We have amazing educators teaching music to our children,” he explains. “You’ve heard that if you’re not good enough to perform, you teach, but that’s not really true here. We have highly successful musicians training our kids. And to be my program, the students must be enrolled music classes in Utah.

Payson Presbyterian an anchor of the Payson Historic District By Deobrah Goodman for Serve Daily This article is part of a series on religious buildings in South Utah County, see more of the series at ServeDaily.com. Built in 1882, the Payson Presbyterian Church on 160 S. Main Street is one of the oldest structures still standing in the community. It was used as both a church and a school from the time of its dedication until 1910, when it began being used only for worship services. With its weathered brick and wooden trimming, the church helps make up the Payson Historic District, which stretches from 500 North and 300 East to 500 South and 400 West. This district boasts unique and memorable structures, such as the Simons Block building and the Romanesque-style John Dixon House. Now privately owned, the structure stopped servicing the Presbyterian community when it was purchased by the United Missionary Fellowship in 1971. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 Built during a time of great missionary effort of the Protestants among the Mormons (from the 1870s to the 1890s), this classic building follows the strictures of Gothic Revival. It was built ten years before the Springville Community Presbyterian Church—the first subject highlight-
ed in this series on religious buildings in south Utah County. More simplistic in its design, the Payson Presbyterian Church doesn’t have the Springville structure’s quatrefoils and clover leaf adornments. Even though it lacks some of the refinements of other buildings of its time, it is still considered an example of Gothic Revival because of its steeply pitched gables and decorative tracings around the pointed windows. T he finial-topped bell tower is accented with scalloped shingles and a weather vane. A 2010 article published in the Deseret News gives a brief history of the Presbyterian Church in Utah, explaining that, opposite of what was usually done—building a church first, followed by a school, Payson and other growing communities built the schools before the nearby churches. The article also explains the growth of the church in the state of Utah at that time. “By 1884, Presbyterians in Utah had 13 ministers and churches, 383 members and 1,914 students. By 1890, that grew to 15 churches and 661 members; by 1900 there were 25 churches and 1,336 members.” The Payson Presbyterian Church is crumbling and quaint, and still has an elegant charm that almost begs for its much-needed restoration.

Delectable Dining
Crabby’s to Go: Diner-style burgers and Mexican favorites By Amy Baird for Serve Daily
When you hear Crabby’s you might think of seafood; however, this Crabby’s is not fishy. They have authentic diner-style burgers and Mexican food. Plus it is all fresh, made to order and pretty delicious. So if you’re like me and you’ve driven by the Crabby’s sign and wondered what’s inside that slick new building, you better read on. First, let’s talk about the name. Why Crabby’s? It is actually named for the owner, Cory Crabb. He is a local who travels all over the state and wanted to open his own place close to home. The goal was to have something fresh made that was yummy. After eating out nearly every day with his job, he knew what he liked and he wanted to share it with the community. The name says “to go” but there is seating inside. The interior is pretty cool with some fun decorations like skateboards on the wall and dirt bikes hanging from the ceiling. One thing that stood out to me was how fresh the food tasted. I’m used to getting enchiladas and the sauce tastes like it came out of a can. Or you eat refried beans and you just know they weren’t made fresh. When I took a bite, I knew the sauces and beans were made fresh that day. Everything at Crabby’s is made from scratch. It just tastes good. The menu is pretty straightforward. They have American favorites like hamburgers (Crabby Patties), chicken sandwiches (chicken fingers on a bun), and fries. They also offer Mexican favorites like enchiladas, smothered burritos, quesadillas, nachos, and taco salads. They focus on serving food that is made to order so it is fresh but it necessarily ready in three minutes. This isn’t a fast food place where they have premade food that they just reheat. I tried out a range of options to get a feel for the menu. My favorite was the burgers, crabby patties which are named after the owner, Cory Crab. The meat is fresh and never frozen and comes from
Diner-style Crabby Patty and fries. a local provider. A crabby patty comes with pickles, tomatoes, and pink sauce. The buns come from a local bakery in Springville and they are toasted for the burgers. I’d recommend getting the fries. They are traditional thin French fries and they have some pretty delicious fry sauce. The chicken sandwich is chicken fingers with mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato served on the same yummy buns. The chicken was tender with a crunchy breading. It wasn’t my typical order but I really liked the sandwich. They also offer 3- and 6-piece chicken fingers. From the Mexican food menu, I really liked my chicken enchiladas. The enchilada was smothered with green sauce (you can also pick red sauce). The sauce was delicious with just the right amount of heat. The chunks of chicken were delicious. The chicken is fresh as well and never frozen. It honestly tasted homemade. It came all wrapped up in a corn tortilla. The smothered beef and bean burrito was huge. It was full of ground beef and those yummy refried beans that taste homemade. I loved the flavor of them and

kept taking more bites, even though it wasn’t what I ordered. One day, I’m going to actually end up ordering my favorite so I can eat the whole thing instead of just a bite. The burrito was served smoth-
ered and was covered with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, olives and sour cream. It also had chips on the side. Next time I come I’m planning to get the macho taco bowl, which looks amazing. I also tried out the raspberry shake, which was creamy and delicious. It is the perfect way to finish our your meal if you get a crabby patty and fries. They offer a variety of fruit flavors as well as Oreo, mint, toffee, and malt flavors. They also have slushes, floats, freezes, smoothies, and ice cream cones. I am hoping to go back soon to try out their breakfast. The prices are super reasonable and breakfast items include breakfast burritos, French toast, and biscuits and gravy. They also serve hot, fresh coffee from a local company. I definitely appreciated the locally sourced ingredients that they use. So next time you are driving through Santaquin and you see the big sign for Crabby’s To Go, stop by and give it a try. Crabby’s to Go is located on 34 S Highland Dr in Santaquin. They are open Monday to Thursday from 7 am to 9 pm and Fridays and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. They are closed on Sundays.

In Our Back Yard Green River Secrets By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily
This is another town about a two-hour drive from the Spanish Fork junction of I-15 and U.S. Highway 6. Another town that we usually drive right past or stop for gas and other necessities. It is like someone you see occasionally, but never really get acquainted with. There are some interesting and fascinating things to know about Green River, Utah. A good place to make your acquaintance with Green River, Utah is at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum just east of the bridge on Main Street and across the street from the Tamarisk Restaurant. As the name implies, the museum is about the exploration of the Colorado and Green Rivers by John Wesley Powell. He had a huge impact on the history of the Colorado Plateau. The exhibits are second to none. The book store will prepare you for your personal exploration of the area and the gift shop has an excellent selection. The east side of the San Rafael Swell is known for cold water geysers and two of them are nearby. Cold water geysers are driven by CO2 gas pressure rather than geothermal steam pressure. Crystal Geyser is the most famous because of its 75-foot-high eruption. However, that only happens about every 18 hours. Chaffin Geyser has a smaller eruption of about 25 feet but erupts about every hour. On the way to Chaffin Geyser, you pass
Fossil Point where you can find Jurassic era fossils embedded in the ground. The museum can give you directions to either geyser and both are about an hour’s drive south of Green River on a gravel road. When you drive Main Street through Green River you will notice a city park on the north side of the street with a tall white missile pointed skyward. That is a reminder of the days of the Green River Launch Complex of the White Sands Missile Range. This facility was active from the early 1960s until 1975, and at its peak activity, more than 200 personnel supported the assembly, launch, and tracking of the rockets. The overflight of the rockets was an issue in the proposed legislation to create Canyonlands National Park in 1964. As an interesting side note: the author remembers as a kid Jeeping around the Utah desert seeing signs posted on back country roads of launch dates. In addition to the missile in the city park, there are other remnants around, as you east on I-70 you will notice three support buildings on the south side of the Interstate that were assembly buildings. On a bluff on the north side of the Interstate are buildings for living quarters and launch tracking. Keep in mind that the interstate did not exist at that time. The town of Green River came about because of the railroad and was a source of transportation for cattle and agricultural products. Huge tracts of farm land lie north of the town thanks to water from the Green River. The area is particularly notPhotos: Ed Helmick

ed for its watermelons. You can see some of this wonderful farm land if you turn north on Hastings Road on the east end of Main Street. About ten miles north on Hastings Road is a neat white sand beach, known as Swasey’s Beach, that is popular with the local people for picnicking and swimming, although you must be careful of the treacherous river currents. In the cotton wood trees beyond the beach is a wonderful small campground with vault toilets. No reservations, it’s first come availability basis and for some this campground will be a nice change from the commercial RV campgrounds along
Main Street. Continuing up the river from the campground about 8 miles will find a nice pictograph panel on a ledge on the east side of the road. You can not leave Green River without stopping at Rays Tavern. It is kind of an old-fashioned bar and restaurant that everybody that comes to run the river, or the dirt trails knows about. It is always crowded and for good reason. The food and service are always excellent, even when the place is crowded. For a little more upscale dining the Tamarisk Restaurant is always a good recommendation.
