SERVE DAILY FROM THE PUBLISHER VOLUME 10 • ISSUE 110
Hello Community, While thinking about my daily life choice and how they impact my overall health and enjoyment I found some information from my health care provider and another article online. The first one has to do with choosing to live healthy. Living healthy has many benefits and amongst them are that we live longer, fuller, and better lives. I downloaded the app Virgin Pulse and in it there are Journeys, or challenges. Two of the 10 day journeys I signed up for are the Stress Less in 10 Minutes and Choose a New Attitude. The first had me take a 10 minute walk the latter provided info as to choosing to be happy, etc. I’m looking forward to the upcoming steps in
those journeys and will look into others. I invite you to find an app and to make a commitment to improve in some area of your life. From the article online it suggested to find what is important to you, take more risks and keep an open mind, sho appreciation for those you care about, live in the present, ignore negative people, trust your instincts, and to be kind. Practicing kindness helps others feel appreciated, makes it more likely that they will be kind to others, making the world a better place. Here’s to a happy, healthy, and fun-filled July.

New food pantry now open in Springville By Jennifer Durrant
Prior to COVID, nearly 64,000 people, including almost 23,000 children, were facing hunger in Utah County. With numbers like that, there will always be those who step up to bring the numbers down through service. Brent Haymond and the Kiwanis Club in Springville are no strangers to collecting food and donating to people in need. Every year, they collect food and fill as many as 400 boxes up with about 20 tons of food. During the last food drive,
though, the group had five tons of goods left over after donating more than 300 boxes to churches and 150 to local schools. They wanted to get the food to the people who needed it, and they wanted it to stay in Springville. So, they reached out to Community Action Services and Food Bank to discuss how they could help more people in their city in an ongoing way. The answer was a joint-venture food pantry. The Kiwanis Club and Community Action Services and Food Bank worked together on the plan for a Springville food pantry.
Ask A Local Expert
Community Action— which has pantries in Provo, Heber,and Coalville—would stock the shelves. The Kiwanis Club would then operate the pantry and supply volunteers. Next up was finding the right space. The Kiwanis Club helped Mountainland Head Start purchase the old Grant School in Springville, and the school still had unused space in the building. So, the school was happy to rent the space for a food pantry. Once they had a location, Community Action added a freezer, refrigerator, and shelving. The new pantry opened in early April, and Haymond
said the community is embracing it. People see the benefits of having an easily accessible place for Springville residents in need. The city is behind the efforts, too, and now has formed a committee to help people in need. The pantry at 400 East 100 South is open from 4 to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays and from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays. Now that the pantry’s up and running, Haymond and the Kiwanis plan to promote it. In the fall, they’ll distribute fliers to schools that will go to children in need. Those kids will be able to reach out

Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple Celebration Marking its 20th anniversary, organizers planned event to bring community together and thank for years of support By Arianne Brown
The Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork celebrated 20 years since it opened its doors to the public on June 20. The celebration included several guest speakers and upwards of 1,000 visitors to help commemorate the milestone. According to event organizer and devout Krishana, Chara Das, the event accomplished what it set out to do: bring the community together. “We wanted to have an event where people of all beliefs could come and celebrate,” Das said. “We also wanted to thank the community for being so accepting and supportive of us over the years.” While the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple has been in
Spanish Fork for 20 years, Das said that he and other Krishana worshipers have been practicing in the area since 1980 -- at times, out of a log cabin. He said that had it not been for the local community as well as other religious organizations, the temple may not have been possible. “Opening a temple in an area where there is a dominant religion isn’t easy, but we have really been accepted and supported by the community,” Das said. “The LDS community took us under their wing and made sure we were able to worship -- even donating money to help with the construction of the temple. The support that the LDS community has given is really a template that other organizations should follow.” The event on June 20,

special. “It doesn’t matter what church you belong to; if you believe in a supreme being, you have a connection,” Das said. “We are all living entities and spirits created by God. We are all children of the same God, and we should never allow our beliefs to separate us.”

From splashing in the water to road trips, summertime is what you make of it.

Making Summertime Memories By Arianne Brown
Summer can mean something different for everyone. It means lounging on the beach with a good book, lake trips, boating, pools, pool noodles, swim goggles, chlorine, sunscreen, suntans, sunburns, aloe vera. Umbrellas and beach towels. Waves, sand, and serenity. It’s sitting around campfires in the company of friends and family. Marshmallows toasted golden and placed with precision into the perfect smore. It’s setting up tents, unrolling sleeping bags. Telling scary stories under the light of the moon. Flashlights and shadow puppets. Summer camps and meeting new friends. It’s warm, sleepy sunrises
with no alarms and no immediate obligations. Episode after episode of early morning cartoons while slurping children’s cereal. Running through the sprinklers in the backyard. Grass-stained knees. Slippin’ slides and plastic pools. Wiffleball games and riding bikes around the neighborhood. It’s ice cream trucks and sticky fingers. Watermelon and ice-cold water in tall sweaty glasses. Lemonade stands and treehouses. Walks in the park. Tire swings and jungle gyms. Slides, monkey bars, woodchips, and gravel. It’s vacations to new locales. Road trips. Getting lost. Finding your way back. Chill playlists with windows rolled down. Wind blowing

through your hair. Structured plans or spontaneous spur of the moment outings. It’s lying on the couch decompressing after a long day at work. Streaming movies and TV shows you haven’t watched yet. Fingers covered in Cheeto dust. Letting the AC run while you’re wrapped up tight in a blanket just because you can. Staying in the same position for hours because, frankly, you deserve it. It’s a break from school for at least a few months. Putting down the pencils, the pens, and giving your mind a rest. Privacy and personal space. R&R. Time to recuperate and take stock of your mental and emotional health. Time to heal, recover, rejuvenate, and restart.
It’s night games: capture the flag, red rover, ghost in the graveyard, sardines. The orange glow of streetlamps blooming at the same time like clockwork. Warm evenings and sleepovers. It’s sleeping on the trampoline under a clear night sky naming constellations. It’s watching a meteor shower and wishing on a shooting star. It’s long days and short nights. Staying up all night to watch the sunrise. Staying up all night watching movies. Summer blockbusters on the big screen. Popcorn, Mike ‘n Ikes, and large sodas with two, maybe even three straws each. It’s late afternoon barbecues in the backyard with family, friends, and neighbors. Block parties and
chicken on the grill. Ruffled potato chips and Styrofoam plates. Coolers full of ice and refreshing canned soda. Hamburgers and hotdogs. Macaroni salad and coleslaw. It’s sitting on hillsides on blankets getting ready to watch fireworks at dusk. Celebrating our freedom and those who’ve sacrificed so much to protect it. It’s independence. It’s freedom. Freedom to choose. Freedom to worship, to vote, to speak, to love, to exist. Freedom to be who we are without judgement. Freedom to just be. Whoever you are, you have the freedom to define what summer means to you, so whatever it ends up being, make it count. (Brown is a Serve Daily contributor.)

I almost didn’t know what to make of it, but yet I was there with my kids, hoping against hope that my kids would play well with others. Last summer, the COVID

Heck, even my 7-year-old who I ended up homeschooling during first grade this past year was uneasy around other people. Yet, as the minutes ticked on, and as each one of my children observed other kids playing and having fun, they started to (quite literally) test the waters. Before I knew it, my kids had assimilated into a world
with other kids as if the year away from others never happened. It was a sight unseen for months and months —a sight I didn’t think I’d see for quite some time— but it was well worth the wait. So, what are you waiting for? Take your kids to the park and see the magic for yourself. Because children playing is what summer is all about — really, it is. (Brown is a Serve Daily Contributor.)

Payson Native Competes at Olympic Trials By Arianne Brown
It was the ending to a dream season that Payson native Summer Allen didn’t think would be a reality: competing in the steeplechase at the 2021 Olympic Trials. Allen, who currently runs for Weber State University, comes from a running family. In fact, her parents are Hawk and Cheryl Harper of Orem who own Runner’s Corner and have their own stellar running resumes. Her older brother, Golden Harper is the founder of Altra running shoes, and her sisters, Amber and Krystal each had successful collegiate and post-collegiate careers. Even so, Allen forged her own unique path in the competitive running world.
Born in Payson, Allen’s family moved to Orem, where she eventually became a star distance runner at Orem high school, earning a scholarship to Weber State in the fall of 2013. A much needed running break came in the form of an 18-month Latter-day Saint mission a year later to Roseville, Calif. Upon her return, she took time getting back into shape, and entered her first steeplechase race in March of 2017 and according to Allen, it went poorly. “My coach said that if my technique didn’t drastically improve I wouldn’t be doing the steeplechase,” Allen said. “I worked really hard after that using visualization and staying after practice and having people film me and give me pointers so I

could improve my technique. I really wanted to do steeplechase. Part of me was also trying to avoid the 10K on the track though. I knew if I didn’t do the steeple I would most likely get put in the 10K, and so that gave me even more motivation. Allen did well in her return to college athletics but was plagued by some nagging injuries that prevented her from progressing like she wanted to. And in 2019 and 2020, two life-changing events shifted her focus: marriage and motherhood. “I got married in June of 2019 and got pregnant right away right when I was starting to feel really fit again,” Allen said. “We had our son Miles at the end of February 2020 right before the pandemic shut everything down. My husband also runs for Weber and was actually an All American.” It was watching her husband compete at nationals in 2019, that gave Allen the drive she needed to get back at it. “My husband took 14th at nationals in 2019 when I was about six months pregnant,” Allen said. “It was such an inspiring race to watch, that I decided I wanted to come back and do the same as him. He is one of my biggest inspirations and my biggest support

although we both have lots of support from family and friends.” “I didn’t know for sure that I’d go back to college and compete after having the baby, but I knew I wanted to and my husband just kept reminding me that something would work out. We knew we just needed to trust God and know he had a plan for our family. Luckily running was still part of that plan because it worked out better than we could have planned. I also drew strength from others who had had babies in college and kept running at a high level.” That high level included competing at The NCAA national cross country meet in March where she earned the title of All-American like her husband; making the finals at the NCAA outdoor track and field championships where
she earned a school and Big Sky Conference record in the steeplechase of 9:37.48. That time qualified her for the Olympic Trials. At the Trials, Allen finished 11th place at the final that took place the evening of June 24 in Eugene, Oregon. “It has been so incredible competing at this level,” Allen said. “I think I knew it was inside me somewhere to be able to run this well but if you would have told me I’d be where I am now a year ago, I probably would have laughed. I have always wanted to run at this level but it didn’t really all click until this year. This is better than I imagined. My husband and coach also challenged me to set bigger goals early on so that I could visualize myself running at a higher level and work towards those goals sooner. It was all a process though that took

time and patience.” Allen said that she drew inspiration from other mothers and would like to offer other mothers encouragement to not give up on their dreams. “I would like to tell other mothers that if they have a goal that they’ve always wanted to accomplish, if they start out small and are consistent they can reach those goals,” she said. “Having a baby was super empowering for me. It taught me to be more mentally tough and to also have more balance. I realized that if I didn’t run well it wasn’t the end of the world and that I still had a family that loves me. That helped take some of the pressure off in a good way.” As for what’s next, she is going to look back on this year with nothing but gratitude, and she looks forward to rest and time with her family.

Photojournalist Isaac Hale Says South Utah County Among Favorite Places to Photograph By Arianne Brown
A
s photojournalist Isaac Hale drove on the country roads leading out to Benjamin in South Utah County, it felt like home. His assignment was to photograph a 100-year-old family farm for a local publication, and as he looked around at the seemingly endless miles of farmland, something felt very familiar. A native of Piqua, Ohio, Hale moved to Utah to utilize his degree in photojournalism, taking on jobs for the Daily Herald, The Salt Lake Tribune and Utah Valley University. While several of his photos have been published by the likes of ESPN, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and USA Today, he said that he loves the local feel of small towns — particularly those in South Utah County. “I have a soft spot for South Utah County,” Hale

said. “I’m used to farming and corn fields. It reminds me of my small-town home in Ohio that is still heavily influenced by agriculture. I also love the feel of a closeknit community.” Hale reminisced on his time spent in the communities and outskirts in the south valley. He spoke about photographing neighborhoods affected by the Pole Creek and Bald Mountain Fires in 2018, describing what it was like to immortalize moments
as events unfolded. “When I arrived on scene to photograph the fires, I found myself among the locals in Payson as we tried to figure out what was happening,” Hale recalled. “We were all experiencing it together in real time.” Being part of the experience is one thing that Hale said he enjoys about photojournalism. In fact, many of his subjects he photographs have become like friends, and others like family. “I shot some photos of the
Springville Hobble Creek Wranglers, and before I knew it, I was shooting guns with them at the range,” Hale said. “I spent nine months taking pictures of Springville pro bareback rider Mason Clements. Spending time in the rodeo scene not only taught me about the sport, but I learned to love the rodeo community.” Getting close to the people he photographs can also take an emotional toll because it isn’t always smiles and
triumphs. Recently, Hale became really close to a young teen who would, through the process of being documented, lose his life to cancer. “In 2020, I photographed and interviewed 17-year-old Maple Mountain quarterback Bryson McQuivey who was diagnosed with terminal cancer his senior year,” Hale said. “I was able to spend time with Bryson, his family and teammates, and during my time with him, I was for-

tunate to experience some profound moments. “Seeing a 17-year-old have to come to grips with his own mortality — that’s a lot. He seemed very at peace. I went to some football games and treatments. I saw a community come together, and I became part of that community. Bryson passed away a couple of days before Thanksgiving 2020, I still keep in touch with his family.” Hale said that seeing people through his lens has helped him see people in a good light, which, according to him, is both a literal and figurative statement. “I show up to events and people’s homes and farms, and bring my lights and camera to take some pictures,” Hale said. “The lights may help bring out the best in them physically, but what I experience as I photograph them is often a restored faith in humanity. People really are good.
Being with ordinary people who do extraordinary things as part of their daily life, really helps you to love people.” Hale, who is an avid bike rider himself, recalled photographing Vietnam War Veteran Jim Taylor who rides his bike up and down Payson Canyon each day in an effort to combat PTSD. Those photos were part of a story that was syndicated nationally. Hale has spent time with

mountain bike locals Carey Pierce and Jesse Sorensen, as he documented the trail building efforts in the Fourbay area. Hale said that while he loves taking their photos, it is even more rewarding seeing them in action doing those everyday extraordinary things. “I remember photographing Jim Taylor as he rode up the Canyon, and helping to share his story,” Hale said. “I’ve gone up Payson Can-
yon several times, and sure enough, there’s Jim riding his bike.” Hale said that he may be a transplant to Utah from a small town in Ohio, but he feels like home here in the Beehive State and has even made plans of staying here long term. “I moved to Utah not knowing a single soul,” He recalled. “Through photographing the people here, I have found a deep love for the
community, and I hope to make this place my home.” Hale currently works part-time as a photographer for the athletic department at Utah Valley University, and as a freelance photojournalist and photographer in various capacities across the state.

Sweet Tooth is a Netflix show definitely worth watching By Kelly Martinez
Have you ever been at a loss about what to watch on Netflix? You know, that rabbit hole in which you spend an hour looking for something good—or at least mildly interesting—to watch, only to fall asleep in the process of searching. Been there, done that. Sometimes, recommendations from friends and family helps in the search, but not always, making it necessary to watch something you’ve a) seen a hundred times before, or b) doesn’t
align with your standards or tastes. This dilemma makes it especially helpful when Netflix itself hits the sweet spot of your TV-viewing universe with a recommendation that’s actually, well, good. And by “good,” I mean really good. Such was the case when the streaming giant recommended one of its originals, “Sweet Tooth,” upon its release on June 4. Based on a DC comic book series of the same name, “Sweet Tooth” is set in an all-tooclose-to-home apocalyptic world in which a virus has swept the
earth, wiping out a sizable chunk of humanity. Amidst the chaos, new types of beings that are part human, part animal are being born to human parents. Some survivors in this world think the hybrids caused the virus while others think the opposite to be true. Whatever the cause, some of humanity’s ugliness surfaces in regard to the hybrids in the forms of unethical medical research and a violent militia, to name a couple. Central to the story is Gus (Christian Convery of “Beauti-

Played by “Last Man on Earth” star Will Forte, Pubba is a nurturing father who does all he can to protect Gus from a militia that’s sworn to hunt down hybrids and capture them in the name of science. As you can imagine, things don’t go as planned in Pubba and Gus’s off-the-grid woodsy oasis. If it did go well, the show Continued on Next Page.

Sweet Tooth would be pretty boring, right? Enter Tommy Jepperd, who, following less-than-ideal circumstances, becomes Gus’s parental figure. (You’ll have to tune in to see what becomes of Pubba in this setting.) Portrayed by Nonso Anozie (“Zoo”), Jepperd is a former pro football player who

SERVE DAILY THE MOVIE BUFF
Summer Means Plenty of Great Movie Options By Rand Einfeldt
Well, it’s finally here! Summer lovin’, fireworks, and blockbuster movies itching to make history in the box office of 2021. Speaking of which, we’ll be kicking it off by announcing upcoming movies that we should look forward to for the month of July. For those looking for movies rated PG, there is one in particular to look forward to in the month of July: “Space Jam: A New Legacy” The 25-year long awaited sequel to the 90s classic with Michael Jordan is finally here. No doubt it will be filled with classic cartoon cameos like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and many more. There are even rumors that Jim Carrey’s “The Mask” will make an appearance in this family friendly film. “Space Jam: A New Legacy” is expected to come out in theaters as well as on HBO Max on Friday July 16. Moving on to an older demographic, here are some
PG-13 movies to look forward to: 1. “Black Widow” This Marvel cinematic movie was initially supposed to come out in theaters May of 2020, but due to the pandemic, it pushed back its theater and Disney Plus Premier Access release date to July 9. It stars Scarlett Johansson, Midsomer’s Florence Pugh, and David Harbour from “Stranger Things.” Filled with 2 hours and 13 minutes of nonstop superhero action, it’s sure to keep you on the edge of your seats or couches. 2 “The Tomorrow War” Chris Pratt from “Guardians of the Galaxy” is recruited and sent forward in time to fight alien invaders that bring a threat to the earth’s future. This film comes out July 2nd only on Amazon Prime Video. 3. “Jungle Cruise” Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson gets lost in the jungle yet again, but this time it is with Emily Blunt from “A Quiet Place.” They must find a tree that has the key
to supernatural healing factors for mankind. “The Jungle Cruise” comes out July 30. 4. “Old” M. Night Shaymalan came out with his 18th film which has a group of tourists marooned on an island that has a mysterious past and a scary future for the remaining survivors. “Old” comes out July 23. Next we have a movie for our more mature audiences, here is a rated R movie to look forward to in the month of July: The Forever Purge The fifth installment in The Purge Franchise is continuing its horrific and patriotic theme July 2. This is expected to be chock full of gratuitous violence, gore galore, and language. I hope you enjoyed this July line up of movies, and I hope you have a safe and eventful Fourth of July! (Rand Einfeldt is a self-proclaimed movie buff with a degree in film studies to back up that claim. He enjoys watching movies with a critical eye, and is happy to share his views
with all who will listen (and

BYU Public School Partnership receives national award By Lana Hiskey
The BYU Public School Partnership was honored by the National Association for Professional Development Schools for their work as a professional development school. Gary Seastrand, executive director of the Partnership, came to the Nebo School Board of Education in June to present this national award to Superintendent Rick Nielsen and Nebo School District. “Nebo District is proud to have part-
nered with BYU and four neighboring school districts for nearly 40 years,” said Nielsen. “The shared initiatives of the partnership make all of our institutions stronger and are of significant benefit to our classroom teachers, preservice teachers, leaders, and university professors. This partnership is truly unique and special, a marquee relationship that is a standard for the rest of the nation.” The BYU Public School Partnership
formed in 1984 including school districts Nebo, Alpine, Jordan, Provo, and Wasatch as well as the collaborative effort between the David O. McKay School of Education and the arts and sciences colleges at BYU. The partnership recently received the Exemplary Professional Development School Achievement award at the National Association for Professional Development Schools annual conference. NAPDS is a national organization that advo-
cates for professional development schools. The organization gives an award each year to honor a school/ university partnership that has contributed to their mission and vision. “The award itself reflects the tremendous growth and history of the partnership,” said Gary Seastrand, executive director of the partnership. “To receive this award is an indication that the partnership is atypical and stands out as stellar. This national
recognition reflects the deep commitment everyone in the partnership shares to elevate learning and to help all succeed.” The BYU partnership was chosen for its proactive initiatives. These initiatives include the Associates Program, which connects educators to the moral purposes of education, the Instructional Coaching Academy, which improves the professional development practices of educators through evidence-based teaching
methods, and the BYU ARTS Partnership, which revitalizes learning through the arts in elementary schools with conferences such as ARTS Express and The Learning Edge. “There is purpose in our work, and it is noble and enriching,” said Seastrand. “The people who engage in the partnership are extraordinary and bring many gifts and talents that elevate and motivate.

ship to narrative-based pedagogy in classroom instruction. BYU faculty and professors led eight classes, each focused on how the BYU-PSP improves education systems and supports teachers. A group from the partnership led a popular session. “Leading a Partnership with Vision and Commitment” was taught by Seastrand, Professor Richard Osguthorpe, Dean Mary Anne Prater, and past chair of the BYU-PSP Governing Board, Vern Henshaw. They
discussed the powerful leadership structures embedded into BYUPSP and how other organizations could emulate them. “We have incredible leaders throughout the partnership who see it as a great benefit and a great return on their investment of time and resources,” said Seastrand. “We have established a culture over the decades that is grounded in trust and selflessness. That is what makes our partnership stand out.” (Serve Daily submission.)

First week of Camp Eagle Summer School has started with an amazing group of Native American youth. The theme this summer is “Healing through the concept of Hozho” which means beauty, positivity, tranquility, balance, and order. The camp has a focus to heal our mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and environmental components of wellbeing. Some of the specialties offered include: Students will be learning Math concepts through cutting, quilting, and sewing Native American Star
blankets and quilts with geometric designs with Shoshana Begay. Students will be running, dancing, learning about nutrition through growing and cooking traditional food recipes with Analysa Allison in Health class. Jethro Gillespie is teaching art classes where students can create and express their ideas for healing with hands-on activities. Julie Cruz is working with parents on how to pattern, cut and sew together a tribal dance outfit so that every student is ready and can be an active participant in the Pow Wow on June 25.

SERVE DAILY VIEWPOINT
Our Father’s Flag By Ed Helmick
While camping in Nine Mile Canyon two women from California, in their 50’s, were asking my wife Janice and I about our favorite prehistoric sites in the canyon. Then they informed us that they were political progressives and asked the question, “why are people in Utah predominantly conservative?” Both of us answered that is the way we were raised. Both of our fathers served in World War II and were proud of what this nation had accomplished to bring peace to the world. We were raised with strong Christian values of community, law and order, hard work, self-reliance, and service to others. That is probably typical of the majority of Utah County. Janice’s father was the youngest of four brothers and the only one not married when he volunteered for the Army Air Corp. He hoped to be an airplane mechanic; however, he was the right size to be belly gunner on a B-17. He was on his 24th mission over Germany when his airplane was shot down. He parachuted out of the airplane and was captured by the German Army. He spent 17 months surviving as
a POW. Never talking much about his war experiences, he did talk about how proud he was of Americans freeing Europe from Nazi Germany. Janice’s father remained proud and patriotic his entire life. His brothers realized finding work might be a problem after the war and established three trading posts on the Navajo reservation. Janice’s dad ran a trading post called Sweetwater. He married a woman from Farmington, N.M., and they had four sons and two daughters. One is my wife. Her father was wonderfully dedicated to the Navajo people and spoke excellent Navajo, according to several old Navajos who remembered him. Enlisting in the Army, my father said goodbye to his high school girl friend as she gave him a small Bible to carry with him and he promised to join her church if he returned. He was an infantry soldier who landed in France with the third wave at Normandy. Months later he earned a purple heart from a battle wound during the Battle of the Bulge. After that he wore a brace on his right ankle. He returned home to his sweetheart with the Bible she gave him, they got
married and lived a happy life together until he passed away in 2014. The GI Bill paid for his undergraduate and medical school education. He never talked much about his war experiences, other than his limp was from a war injury. He always was proud of our nation and flew the U.S. flag at his house and on his RV when he retired from 40 years as a family physician in Grand Junction, Colo. He was always active in his church and was a leader of youth activities for many years. Both men were businessmen, Janice’s father ran a trading post. A capitalist endeavor which required disciplined accounting and conservative business practices to stay in business. It also required a trusting relationship with his customers, the Navajo people in the region. My fathers’ medical practice was back in the days of the independent doctor’s office (unlike today, when physicians work for the health corporation). A business enterprise that had to be run conservatively to enable the business to continue month after month. Dad’s first office was a two-story house east of the Main Street business district.
The doctor’s office was on first floor and the family lived upstairs. As the number of patients increased the office location was upgraded and dad spent his spare time building a new family house on the north side of Grand Junction. Free enterprise, business and home ownership is what the United States and its God blessed constitution is about. He loved and appreciated this country. So now you know how we explained to the two ladies from California how we were raised to appreciate the greatness of the United State and the traditional values of this nation. Janice and I were raised with wonderful role models that are so important to young people. Today we are thankful to live in south Utah County where there are so many people that share these same values. We are constantly delighted to see houses flying the American flag and remembering our historical roots. The rest of the story: The man referred to in this article was not my biological father. As a baby I was adopted as an only child into a dysfunctional family. There was no family and that is another story for another day. Through church youth activities I sought out
time with the Jim Dunn family. As an early teenager I realized I adopted them. I did a lot of camping trips with them and spent a lot of time at their house. Jim and another doctor in our church, Ward Studt were the men who formed my life. They were the reason I went to college, the same college they went to. Later earning a Master of Public Health from the same University they went to. I spent a lot of time with Jim in his last year and took Jim and his wife Lou on several trips. I was thrilled when he told me I was the son they didn’t have (they had two daughters and stillborn son). Janice and I were at Jim’s side and each holding his hand the night he passed away at the Veterans Hospital in Grand Junction. His newspaper obituary listed me as his son. I will remember that with honor. I regularly refer to Jim as my father. I have little memory of the man and woman who adopted me or any of their relatives. I am grateful every day for the two men, Jim Dunn and Ward Studt, who were my male role models and contributed to who I am and the interesting life I look back on at age 77.

I Can Still Drive 55

By the time you read this, I’ll have already “celebrated” my birthday. As you might be able to tell by the quotation marks around the word “celebrated,” I’m not really excited for this particular birthday. I have my reasons. Upon reaching this birthday, I’ll no longer be able to say I’m in my early 50s. Upon passing this landmark, I’ll officially be eligible to get the senior discount. Upon reaching this milestone (millstone?) I’ll be able to order from my own special section on
DAZED
the back page of the menu at Denny’s. My age will be the same number as the speed limit from that song by Sammy Hagar. And if you know which song I’m talking about, congratulations, you’ll be joining me in senior citizenry before you realize what’s happened. It really started a little more than five years ago when the
AARP started sending me membership cards in the mail. For those of you who think you are too young to know what I’m talking about, AARP stands for the American Association of Retired People, and they will be coming for you-sooner than you think! I haven’t yet joined the AARP, but they still send me cards. I give them to my kids to use as bookmarks. I guess getting old isn’t all bad. Once you reach a certain age, some things finally start to make sense, like the importance of changing the air filter
on the furnace/air conditioner, guessing what size of wrench you need on the first try, and what escrow is. There are other things, however, that are completely baffling, like how to post a gif to a friend or co-worker, why the style of jeans you’ve been wearing for the past 25 years is suddenly difficult to find, and what’s up with these kids today and their music? When you get older, there are good days and bad days. Sometimes I can bend down and pick something up off the ground without a problem at all.
Other times, I can’t get back to a standing position without moaning and sounding like a box of Rice Krispies. Kids today still know about Snap! Crackle! and Pop, don’t they? Try as I might to stay hip and cool, I just can’t stop the fact that I’m getting older. For example, I still use the words “hip” and “cool.” But, turning 55 isn’t the end of the world. Despite what Sammy Hagar says, I can still drive. Even if it’s slower than these kids today with all their fast cars. For more funny-ish stuff, check out SlowJoe40.com.
The Agony of a Long Goodbye
By James L. Davis
My family struggles with goodbyes. They seem unable to complete this simple task in under 24 hours. I feel I have failed them in some way. They have no issues with goodbye on the phone. They say it, and then they hang up, which is good and proper, and expected, actually. It is when they are physically present where the struggle becomes real. While I wrestle with feelings of failure in almost every regard, I have come to realize that this failing is not mine. I understand the definition of goodbye and utilize it on numerous occasions. When I say “goodbye” I have every
intention of leaving. Right then, not four hours later. I consider it a verbal contract between me and whoever I am visiting. I am leaving, rest assured, because I said “goodbye.” My family has apparently grasped onto the idea that “goodbye” is a random thought that they may, or may not, carry out. Whether my wife and I visit them, or they visit us, “goodbyes” are bestowed a hundred times before we ever achieve the result of a proper goodbye and leave. Since I understand the concept in goodbye, and my children do not, there is only one culprit for this malady, and she knows who she is. Just in case she does not, it is my wife. She will say “goodbye” and never follow-up on the commitment the word implies. In fact, that is usually when
TO ADVERTISE IN SERVE DAILY CALL 801-477-6845
the conversations really get started, after she has already said goodbye. All my children suffer from this condition and most of their spouses. But I have two daughtersin-laws who experience as much angst as I do when it comes to the unending goodbye. The “goodbyes” begin, and it is followed immediately by intense conversation that could last hours, days, weeks, who knows. They roll their eyes, pace, crochet a blanket, learn a new language, anything they can think of until “goodbye” results in action of the leaving kind. I have learned to endure it, because I adore my wife and children, and accept that they have serious problems. When the goodbyes begin, I say my goodbye and then leave. I go downstairs to my
office, or hide in the closet, considering on my mood. A couple of hours later I sneak out to see if the goodbyes have resulted in any movement. If they have, then I may say another “goodbye.” My grandchildren, on the other hand, have absolutely no problem understanding the meaning of a “goodbye.” When one of their parents say goodbye, there are generally two results: weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, of they gather their things and head for the door. I have gone outside an hour after my children said goodbye to find my grandchildren gathered around their parent’s car, sitting on the concrete, chins cupped in tiny hands, their eyes rolling like marbles in their sockets. I started to lose hope, until my wife and I met some of our children and grandchildren at Lagoon. We were
there for five hours or so, and when it came time to say goodbye, I did so, and started to walk away, hoping that somehow I had the gravitational pull to bring my wife along with me. Unfortunately, I have no such hidden talent. I didn’t want to walk back to where she was talking to our son, because that would just encourage her to keep talking, but I shuffled back a dozen paces, folded my arms, and stared at the blue sky, mumbling softly to myself. Passersby would look at me, look to the heavens, shake their head, and keep walking. I get that a lot. After a half an hour or so, our 4-year-old granddaughter looked at her father and grandmother talking, and said, “Nana, are you leaving?” So, we left. Finally.

Ernest Fritz Boyer (86) passed away peacefully during the early morning hours of June 21, 2021, at his home in Springville, ending a years-long struggle with vascular dementia. Fritz was born on Aug. 26, 1934, to Ernest and Evelyn Boyer on his grandmother Miner’s kitchen table. He attended Brigham Young, earning a B.S. in Art with an English minor in 1961. At graduation, he was notified that his National Guard unit was activated due to the Berlin Wall Crisis. That notification launched a decades-long career in the United States Army Corps of Engineers, a radical departure from the plan to teach art at Snow College in Ephraim, Utah. His military career was filled with dozens of assignments, including moves to Germany, Belgium, Italy, and two tours of duty in Viet Nam. Fritz and his wife Norma Gregson Boyer (85) retired in Springville, where Fritz became active in civic affairs. He worked with the Springville Folk Fest, the Arts Committee, chief fundraiser for the new addition to the
Springville Art Museum, City Councilman, and Mayor from 2000 to 2006.
