Taco truck owner takes the time to help a stranger in need By Arianne Brown
she had just purchased her dream car. That’s right. A red 1966 Ford Mustang that came all the way from Illinois that her husband, Taylor Draper bought for her as a graduation gift. To test out her new ride, she, Taylor and their infant daughter went for a drive. However, not long into the ride, they encountered a flash flood, and then the car began acting up. One thing led to another, and the young family found themselves on the side of the road, in a storm, with a car that wasn’t
A 1966 Ford Mustang and a taco truck met on a rainy day. Actually, it was an owner of a taco truck who met the needs of a new owner of a classic car. Still the day was rainy, and the timing was right because help was needed. It was July 22, and it was supposed to be a good day for Santaquin resident Sierra Draper. Not only had she recently earned her bachelor’s degree and been accepted into a master’s program for business marketing, but

working. “After waiting out the storm, we ended up driving (or at least trying to drive) to my house which is in Santaquin,” Sierra recalled. “I was really excited to drive the car, obviously because it’s my dream car. It started hearing a noise that I could tell was coming from the timing belt, so I quickly pulled over, and right as I turned the car off it started smoking. We opened up the front of the car and saw the timing belt had completely snapped.” Not quite knowing what

Service to give them a ride home. After 30 minutes of waiting, a man in a black pickup truck pulled up behind them to offer help. “A man driving a huge, beautiful black truck pulled up and asked what the problem was and how he could help,” Sierra recalled. “We immediately said that we could have family come, and that our family didn’t live far away. He said it was no problem and to let them stay at home, because he was already there.” The man’s name was Ricardo. As it turned out, he was on his way home from Fiesta Days in Spanish Fork after working his food truck all day. Even so, he took his time helping the Draper family get back on the road safely. “He looked at what the issue was, then he had me, my husband and my daughter (who was currently screaming) get in his truck to go to the auto parts store,” Sierra said. “My husband bought the part as Ricardo and I talked in the truck. I learned that Ricardo was going through a similar hard time that me and my husband were in our personal life. It almost felt like

he was inclined to pull over, just so that we could know we were alone in our trials.” “My husband ended up getting the part and Ricardo drove us back the 15 minutes to my vehicle. When we got to the vehicle, my husband tried putting on the belt and realized that it was too small.” Worried that she had taken Ricardo’s time with all of the back and forth to the auto parts store, Sierra said that she just thought it would be best to offer Ricardo compensation and have her family come and pick them up. But, Ricardo refused to give up on getting the Draper family back on the road. “At this point we were Okay to pay him and wait for our family to come,” Sierra recalled. “Ricardo stopped me and said, ‘I don’t need you to pay me, just pray for me.’ He said this is the whole point of the human experience – to help others. Ricardo then drove us back the 15 minutes to the auto shop and then back to the car.” But the help Ricardo offered, didn’t stop at just car repairs. According to Sierra, while at the shop,
he offered to buy her baby medicine to help soothe pain caused by teething. “I kept apologizing the entire time, and he kept saying, ‘No worries mama, she’s just a baby. Babies cry.’ He offered to hold her, get her whatever she needed, and was completely supportive.” Sierra said the service Ricardo offered continued for several more hours, as they got proper tools. Ricardo even drove Sierra and her daughter the 40 minutes home and back to the car so that Sierra could get her daughter to sleep. As night went on, Ricardo, with the help of Taylor Draper, worked on the car until it was fixed, and even offered them the number of his old classic car mechanic to help keep the car running smoothly. “I just kept apologizing and offering to pay, but Ricardo said was happy to be of service. He even thanked us for giving him the opportunity to serve,” Sierra said. “We’ve just felt so much love from him – genuine love.” Sierra took her message of gratitude to the Payson News and Goings on Facebook page, with the result being 1.6 thousand reactions

Elks Association sponsors Little Warriors Camp By Ed Helmick
A special weekend summer camp experience for children and surviving spouse or
guardian of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country was held this past Pioneer Day weekend. It was a fun-filled and
comforting weekend for 58 children and 35 parents and grandparents. This free summer camp sponsored by the Utah Elks Association
was the seventh annual Little Warrior’s Camp following last year’s cancellation due to the Covid pandemic. The event is held at the Utah Elks Camp Wapiti located in Settlement Canyon above the town of Tooele. Wapiti is a Native American word for elk. The 50-acre site has a large lodge that includes a dining hall with a commercial kitchen, with staff quarters up-stairs, 17 cabins, an infirmary, craft building, swimming pool, fire pit, and stage for group gatherings. This is a first-class facility.
Little Warrior’s Camp is under the direction of Robert (Bob) Pagnani, Chairman of the Utah Veterans Advisory Board. The camp is supported by a crew of dedicated to the cause volunteers, many of whom have been involved since the first camp in 2013. When the kids arrive and register Friday afternoon, they pick a Little Warrior’s backpack of their favorite color that is filled with a verity of goodies. After locating their sleeping quarters lawn games occupy the time until the dinner bell rings.
The evening program recognized the individual attendees, followed by Elk soccer awards. Saturday morning breakfast consisted of French toast and a breakfast casserole. Following that was a flag raising ceremony and the pledge of allegiance. Then the fun began, the swimming pool is open, the zip line is available, the climbing wall has three sides to be climbed, the BB shooting range can test your skill, and the arts and crafts buildContinued on Next Page.

Circles Sets Man on Path to Success and Helping Others By Jennifer Durrant
Trevor Buit is a vocational rehabilitation officer at the Utah State Hospital in Provo. Life hasn’t been easy for him, though. He was born with cerebral palsy and diagnosed with OCD, primarily acute anxiety, at age 17. By 2015, he was living on benefits, volunteering, and working with the state vocational rehabilitation, trying to find work. The rehabilitation program helped him find the Circles Initiative, which set him on the path to improving his
life. Circles is a nationwide initiative with a Utah Valley chapter sponsored by Community Action Services and Food Bank. The long-term initiative helps low-income families and individuals stabilize, build self-reliance, and move out of poverty. Participants, called leaders, make the connections and learn the skills they need to pull themselves out of poverty. To join Circles, leaders must have incomes below 150 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Together
with volunteers, called allies, they develop goals and a strategy to get out of poverty. Leaders graduate when their incomes reach at least 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. The initiative takes at least 18 months to complete, though it’s usually longer. When Trevor joined Circles, he was frustrated with his life and wanted to change it, but he didn’t know how. He set goals to get off disability, create connections, and advocate for others. According to Trevor,
when you’re dealing with a mental health issue and a disability, it’s easy to fall into a state of learned helplessness and to believe you’re not capable of doing much. That makes it easy to cut yourself off and back away from the world. Fortunately, his allies in Circles didn’t let him isolate. They held him accountable and kept him in the trenches, even when he was struggling. Over time, he took on a leadership role in the initiative and became the unofficial go-to guy for all things
related to disabilities. Circles not only helped Trevor improve his life but also allowed him to help others. Now that he’s done with the program, he’s working full time helping people at the hospital find work and develop the skills they need to be released. He said he’s happy where he is. When Trevor found the Circles Initiative, he started on the path to a better and more fulfilling life. Circles, which teaches people how to pull themselves out of poverty, helped him gain the confidence

Artistic Confidence Single mother’s love of art creates beauty and a future for her and her children
By Arianne Brown
A
s single mother Hillarie Cochran nears the completion of her work on Sprinville’s “Container Corner,” she looks back at how much she has learned over the past few years, and then looks forward to a future where she can continue to use her talents to support her children. It was in 2018 when Cochran moved to Springville with her two youngest children, ages 8- and 13-years old. The move was after a short stay in St. George, and after moving to Utah from her home state of Montana. Why Springville? Well, the arts of course. With a natural, and ingrained love and talent for making things look beautiful, Cochram and her then fiancé who is himself an artist, decided to move to Springville for the prospect of working on an up-andcoming, one-of-a-kind development. Locals refer to it as Container Corner, others know it as Legends Motorco., as it is owned and operated by

Rick Salisbury. No matter what people refer to it as, those who see the structure located at 533 South 1750 West in Springville, are intrigued by its colorfulness, utilitarian-ness, metal-ness — awesomeness. That intrigue is due to the handiwork of all who have spent countless hours working on the development that is currently home to many shops and services. The rustic look on the inside and outside of Container Corner would not have been complete without the artistic eye and delicate hands of Cochram, who took on painting and designing jobs that were offered to her. The workload would soon need to increase as her fiancé of over two years had some unexpected challenges and needed to leave Cochran and her two kids. “When my fiancé left, I was left with rent and bills to take care of all by myself,” Cochram said. “I was a single mom before this, but it was nice to feel secure in a relationship and be like a family. When he left, I had to find a way to take care of

my family on my own.” That’s when Cochram asked her boss, Rick Salisbury if he had some work
for her. “I had gotten to know Rick through my ex-fiancé, and he was so great to help
me find work,” she said. “He got me the work that I needed to be able to support myself and my family.

He was even able to find me more affordable housing when the home I was renting was sold, and while I was living in a motel with my kids.” Cochram was charged with the task of painting metal and steel within the building to give it the rusty look that embodies the Legends Motorco. brand. She stayed up late painting cabinets, and distressing chairs for businesses to be able to open their doors on time. One such business is The Fellas Chop Shop. According to Chop Shop owner Mersedies Reber, watching Cochram work was inspiring.

I used to be a single mom, and I know that it isn’t easy. Watching Hillarie’s dedication to her art and her family was inspiring.” While her time working on Container Corner is coming to an end, Cochram says that she is looking forward with a newfound confidence that she will be able to use

her talents as an artist to provide for her family. “Working on Container Corner has given me confidence in art that I didn’t have before,” Cochram said. “During my time there, I have learned so many things, and have been able to be creative. I understand design more and feel like I can help others create a space that represents them. I don’t have any formal art training from a school or anything, but it is something that I love and that I have a talent for. I never thought I could earn a living as an artist, but I have been able to, and I really hope to be able to continue to do it.” During her time working on the development in Springville, Cochran was chosen from several applicants to paint a mural at Provo Towne Centre that is currently on display. She says she is in the process of updating her online portfolio that can be found at @ hillarie_hillviewpaint on Instagram. (Brown is a Serve Daily contributor.)

Q & A WITH RYAN SCHRIEVER
What Benefits Can I Get if I am Injured at Work?
The State of Utah requires all employers to have insurance to cover workplace injuries. The worker’s compensation system is an effort to strike a balance between the needs of injured workers to take care of their injuries and the needs of employers to lower the costs of providing those benefits. It can be a very confusing and frustrating trade-off. When people are injured at work, they
often want to know what benefits the employer (via the worker’s compensation company) is required to provide. Those benefits can be broken down into two categories: medical expenses and lost wages.
they recover from relatively minor injuries. However, in some cases, the injured employers require lifelong treatment. As long as the treatment is necessary because of the work injury, the employer is obligated to pay for it. The trade-off in this situation is that the employer’s insurance company is also entitled to direct the medical care. The insurance company will select the doctors who provide the medical care. Employees are entitled to a one-time change of doctor, and the employee can select that doctor. But otherwise, the insurance company will tell the injured employee where and when they are allowed to get treatment.
Technically, the employer is required to Lost Wages provide the benefits to the injured worker, but they can fulfill their obligation by For people whose injuries are serious purchasing worker’s compensation insur- enough to require time off work, the ance. Most employers have worker’s employer is required to pay them 66.67% of compensation insurance and those who do their wages up to the state maximum.

One major exception to this rule is called Employers are required to provide reasonable and necessary medical treatment the “light-duty exception.” If an injured to employees who are injured on the job. worker is cleared by their doctor to perform They must pay for treatment of the injuries light-duty work, then the employer is for as long as the person is injured.

This can be a benefit to obligated to pay the employee some of his or both the employer and the employee because her future wages based on the percentage of it provides wages to the employee, and it the impairment rating. provides the employer the benefit of receiving work for the wages it is paying. Sometimes, injured workers fail to recognize the significance of this rule and they decline light-duty offers from their employers. In those cases, the employer’s insurance company will stop paying the wage benefits to the injured employer. For this reason, it is important for the employee to cooperate, if possible, with an offer of light-duty employment.
Permanent Disability Benefits If the injured employee sustained a permanent injury, there are some additional benefits available to them. If the injury leaves the worker completely disabled and unable to work in any other job capacity, the employer is obligated to continue paying them 66.67% of their wages up to the state’s maximum amount. In other cases, where the injured worker is able to return to work but still has residual symptoms, the employer is required to pay what is called “permanent partial disability.” This is often referred to as an “impairment rating.” In these cases, a doctor will assign the injured worker an impairment rating, which is a percentage based on approved medical guidelines. The employer is
No Damages for Pain and Suffering Unfortunately for injured employees, the worker’s compensation statute does not allow them to recover damages for pain and suffering from their employer. Worker’s compensation benefits are limited to those things that are specifically identified in the law. Pain and suffering damages are not part
of the law.
Although the injuries sustained by injured workers are often as severe as those sustained by people in car accidents or other events, the worker’s compensation benefits are the “exclusive remedy” available from the employer. This is part of the trade-off made by the legislature when they created
the worker’s compensation system.
This article is not intended as a complete description of the entire worker’s compensation system. It is also not intended to be legal advice for any specific person. There are other issues that can arise, and each person’s case must be viewed in light of its own unique set of circumstances. If you have questions specific to your own workplace injuries, an experienced worker’s compensation attorney can help you find answers specific to your case.
Quick Tip You should report any injury that happens at work to your supervisor immediately. The supervisor’s responsibility is to notify the person responsible for reporting the injury to the insurance company. Failure to report might leave you without Worker’s Compensation benefits. So make sure to report every injury no matter how small. 12 AUGUST 2021

Carving Your Niche Woodcarving enthusiasts find a fellowship in Utah County By Josh Martinez
Woodcarving is alive and well in Utah County, thanks to the Utah Valley Woodcarvers Association. Participants in the group gather regularly in Provo and Payson to carve anything from chip carvings to caricatures. The group features classes, shows, and weekly open-carving sessions. The group in Payson is part of the larger group but specifically caters to senior citizens, as it convenes at the Payson Senior Citizen Center. The larger group formally meets on the second Thursday of each month at TreelineUSA, a woodworking supply store in Provo. On an informal basis, woodcarvers in south Utah County, and beyond, descend on the Payson Senior Citizen Center for a laidback environment and a chance to socialize with others. The center hosts open carving sessions Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to noon. Club member Mary Dame said usually the group sees a high turnout on Tuesday, with people coming from as far away as Salt Lake County. All who come have an interest and passion for woodcarving. Dame said the reason she loves woodcarving is because it is relaxing, despite its detail-oriented nature. “The thing is, when you start to do it, your mind relaxes and you only think about the things that you are doing with your hands right then at that time,” she said. “It just releases the stress of the days and what’s going on during the day with people and families and COVID and all that kind of stuff. This is something we can carry through.” Tucked away in the Payson Senior
Center is a room known well to local woodcarvers. White tables run down the center of the room and counters and cupboards outline the space, supporting various woodcarving tools and pieces of wood ready for carving. Most of the woodcarvers sit around the table working on various projects. Some use knives to carve spoons from wooden canvases while others chisel detailed features on caricatures. While the room is usually packed on Tuesdays, upwards of 18 people, other days are more low-key. In a laid-back environment, conversations are common among group members, and not all are related to woodcarving. Some share their woodcarving expertise while others catch up on families or the community. Ray Carlsen is a part-time employee of the city of Payson, working at the senior citizen center. He has several responsibilities with the running of the center and the club, some of which include cutting pieces of wood for carving. Carlsen connected with the woodcarving group about seven years ago when a friend of his was attending church and saw Carlsen walk in. “He said, ‘Hey, I wanted to show you this eagle I carved,’” Carlsen said. “He talked me into coming down.” Other members who attend the open carving sessions say it’s a fun environment where carvers enjoy sharing their hobby. It also provides a creative outlet for those who attend. That creative outlet leads to various shows throughout the year. An upcoming show will run Sept. 24-25 at the Veterans Memorial Building, 400 N. Main St., in Spanish Fork.

Members of the Utah Valley Woodcarvers Association gather at the Payson Senior Citizen Center to work on various wood carving projects.
The flyer for this event states judging will be from 8 a.m. to noon on Sept. 24, while a public viewing will run from noon to 7 p.m. on the same day and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sept. 25. Admission is $3 per person and is free for those under 10. This show will include work from all members of the club, not just those in Payson. Another event the woodcarvers do is decorating the 12-foot Christmas tree at the Mervyn Sharp Bennion Central Utah Veterans Home. Dame said club members carve ornaments and hang them on the tree. “If they (the home’s residents) want to choose a wood carving that they like and take it back to their room when it’s all over, they’re welcome to,” she said. “The (decorations) that don’t get chosen, we take back and mix with new ones for the
next year.” Some of those who attended this particular session in Payson were working on ornaments for this Christmas event. The ornaments included Christmas trees, elves and the Grinch. The woodcarvers club is open to all who are interested, though the Payson group is geared more toward senior citizens. The Provo group features people of all ages. TreelineUSA is host to activities that are similar to the Payson group’s. Open carving sessions take place there on Mondays and Thursdays. Dame said she appreciates TreelineUSA for their willingness to lend their facilities. “They’ve been very good to let us be there,” she said. “Everybody and anybody who wants to learn to carve can come there when we’re there.”

Local high school football returns this month By Josh Martinez
High school football season is back this month, and all five Nebo School District high schools are gearing up for competition this fall. Each of the local high schools compete at the 5A level, while four of them – Maple Mountain, Salem Hills, Spanish Fork and Springville – will compete in Region 9 this season. Payson will compete in Region 7, which includes schools in Utah and Salt Lake counties. The teams will begin competition on Aug. 13. Maple Mountain Maple Mountain was one of two Region 8 teams to make it to the 5A semifinals last season. The Golden Eagles (9-3) lost to eventual state champions, Orem High School. This year, the Golden Eagles, under the leadership of head coach Brad Burtenshaw, will have their work cut out for them as they head into the season without many of the contributors who got them to the semifinals. Top performers in all facets of offense and defense were seniors last year while few underclassmen made statistical impacts on the team. On offense, Maple Mountain will see a new quarterback. Senior Hunter Bezzant played in four games last year, throwing two
touchdowns in the process. As for the skilled positions, senior Cole Mcallister will bring some experience. He logged the fourth-most receiving yards last year and chalked up a few rushing yards as well. All three of the Golden Eagles’ top rushers graduated and five of the six receivers who tallied over 100 receiving yards also graduated. Defensively, Maple Mountain lost many of its top performers but senior linebacker Andrew Jensen will return. He recorded 61 tackles last year, four of which were for a loss. Mcallister also returns with experience as a defensive back who made three interceptions last year. Other potential contributors include senior defensive end/linebacker Carson Goulding and senior Bennie Killpack.

Payson A lot has happened over the past year for Payson High School football. The Lions played as an independent last season --- allowing them to schedule games free from the constructs of a classification but surrendering eligibility for postseason play --- and finished the season 2-7. Fast forward to this year and the Lions has a new coach, Mark Murdoch, who will replace one-year coach Jeb Clark. The Lions will also return to a 5A schedule, competing in Region 7 with teams that are not as geographically close as their district counterparts in Region 9. Murdoch, who spent the last four years coaching at Desert Hills High School in St. George, said his team is excited and ready to move forward. “We are just working on what we can control now and going forward,” he said. “They have really bought into what we are trying to do, and I think that people will be surprised how improved they look and that these are the same kids from a year ago.” Some returners Murdoch expects to make an impact are senior linebacker/tight end Taysen Houser, senior safety/receiver Jarrett Harmon, senior safety/ receiver Layne Osborn, senior offensive and defensive lineman Logan

Secrist and senior defensive end Cash Muir. While there is returning leadership on the team, Payson will field newcomers in several key roles, including quarterback. Senior Luke Ivers will fill the role of quarterback while sophomore offensive lineman Zayden Cook, receiver/cornerback Dylan Wall, sophomore receiver Cooper Swasey, junior receiver Jaxton Howard, junior running back Kelton Smith and linebacker Camden Schimpf will likely get playing time this season. Murdoch said he’s excited to play in a new region and that he doesn’t think there will be a game his team won’t be competitive in throughout the season. “My expectations are simple,” he said. “I expect them to give me their best in everything that they do. I view success as improvement and I know they are giving me everything that they’ve got, that they are going to improve. “If they are giving everything they’ve got, we are going to win games.

To return, the Skyhawks will have to go about it with a younger team. That starts at the head of the offense with senior Luke Degraffenreid stepping in as the team’s starting quarterback. Degraffenreid has some playing experience, but has mostly been the team’s second-string quarterback since his sophomore year, head coach Jeff Higginson said. “I just think he’s really a mature kid,” Higginson said. “He’s wise beyond his years and I think that’s really going to come in and benefit him this year.” The Skyhawks will also look to fill the voids in other key offensive spots, particularly in the rushing and receiving games. Still, Higginson said he’s happy with how the offensive line is anchoring the offense alongside Degraffenreid. Higginson said he expects senior Zay-
lun Fenn and junior Treyson Zobell to make impacts as receivers. As far as rushers, senior Kobe Carter may help fill a void. While the offense is still formulating, Higginson said he believes his defense will be the Skyhawks’ strength, specifically the front seven. Fenn, a linebacker, led the team in tackles last year with senior defensive end Easton Cook racking up the third-most tackles. Higginson also pointed to Carter as a returning cornerback. Other likely returners for the Salem Hills defense include junior defensive end Grant Barney, Fenn as a linebacker and senior defensive end Clay Lyman. The Skyhawks will have their hands full as Higginson said he believes the team will have its toughest schedule yet in terms of non-region play. “What I’m hoping is we go out and we play hard with great discipline and tremendous effort,” he said. “We’ll take what the outcome is but we’re going to play physical and fast.” Aug. 13 vs. Pine View, 7 p.m. Aug. 20 at Lehi, 7 p.m. Aug. 27 vs. Juab, 11 a.m. Sept. 3 at Syracuse, 6 p.m. Sept. 10 vs. Wasatch*, Continued on Page 17.

Tips on being a succesful student athlete By Anderson Brown
For the past two years, I have been writing about some great student-athletes in the area. Some have been in high school, others in college, and I even got to write about an amazing athlete who is still in elementary school. As I learned about these athletes, I was inspired to be a better athlete myself. Since the age of four, I have played soccer. It is something that my dad introduced me to because it was something he loved to play. It has always felt
natural to have the ball at my feet, and I have spent the last 13 years improving my game. This year, I will be entering my senior year in high school, with the goal of competing in the collegiate level and beyond. I guess you could say that I have also learned my share of things as a student-athlete that I would like to share with you as the school year and athletics start again. Here are some tips on how to be a successful student-athlete: 1. Find balance. Life is all about bal-
ance, whether you are balancing school and athletics or something else. If you focus too much on one thing, the other will suffer. For me, when I am playing soccer, I don’t think about school, and when I am at school, I don’t think about soccer. The two worlds are equal but separate. 2. Work hard. Hard work is key to success. As a student and an athlete, it is important to work on your weaknesses and improve your strengths. Ask your coaches and teachers what you need to im-
prove on and don’t get offended at the feedback you get. 3. Set goals. If you don’t have a purpose for doing something, why are you doing it in the first place? I write my goals down on a board so that I can see them everyday. I have small, measurable goals so I can see my progress, and then I have short and long-term goals to look to for the future.
4. Be resilient. Don’t let others outside your sport tell you what you should be doing and how you should be doing it. Trust yourself. There have been times when I have told friends, family, teachers, and other adults that I want to have a future in soccer, and they will ask me about my plan B. Right now, I don’t want a plan B. I want to play soccer.
Letting others squash your dreams isn’t something that will lead to success, and I choose to be resilient to the things others say. 5. Be coachable. Don’t think that you’re above the game, your team or your coach. You can always learn something. If you think that you know more than your coach or teammates, or that Continued on Next Page.

learning about the game off the field, will help me become a better player. 7. Have fun. In the end, whatever you choose to do in life, must be enjoyable. If you don’t have fun doing it, why do it in the first place? Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, and
make sure to smile. (Anderson Brown is a competitive soccer player for the ECNL Utah Avalanche Soccer Club as well as the Park City Red Wolves Academy. He is a senior in high school and is working toward continuing to play the game he loves as the years go on.)

It was always Mark’s dream to publish his writings and artwork, but sadly, he passed away of an unexpected heart attack a couple weeks after Father’s Day, in 2009. Mark was a consistent goal setter in guiding his family to make obtainable goals physically, spiritually, temporally, intellectually, and places to go for each new year. His wife Lynn was persistent in finishing those goals he started that year, and even took the kids to all four places of Mark’s interests for the ‘09 year. Within three years they were able to accomplish all his goals listed, except to publish one of his books. She and the six children and 12 grandchildren never dreamed it was obtainable without him physically here. But when budding artist, daughter Haley Richardson Argyle sparked an interest of hope for her loving father’s work, her mother gave her the “Howard the Wizard’’ file. Although Haley’s life was filled with college, internship, marriage, photography, teaching school, three
children and supporting husband through medical school, she managed to believe in her father’s dream. She Haley Richardson worked on Argyle the book sometimes night and day in any spare time she could find, to illustrate and publish the book. Her goal was to surprise her mother and Mark’s family with the book in hand, and released on Amazon this past June on Father’s Day. This colorfully detailed book’s message fits incredibly well in today’s world, especially with our recent pandemic and the moving forward with love and understanding to those with differing viewpoints than our own. Mark magically incorporates the fun and importance of anonymous neighborly service and the joy of helping those in need. His acceptance of others, and his incredible storytelling ability are embodied in the book, complete with some of his original sketches.

Getting Help For Your Fears is Important By Stan Popovich
Getting professional help for dealing with your persistent fears and anxieties is the single most important step in recovery. Many people are reluctant to get the assistance they need for various reasons. Making excuses for not getting treatment for your fear related issues will not help the situation. With this in mind, here are seven reasons why getting help for your mental health problems is so important. 1. You will get tips on handling your mental health issues. Getting professional help can lead to additional insights and suggestions
to your stress and anxiety problems. A professional counselor can give you many ideas on how you can successfully manage your fears and anxieties. This is important in getting your life back on track. 2. Get access to different resources. Most counselors and psychologists know of ways to get rid of your fears. They can recommend certain treatments that will improve your situation. The only way you can get access to these treatments is if you talk to a counselor. Ask your primary care physician if he or she knows anyone that can be of assistance. 3. You cannot manage your anxieties all by yourself.
Your fears, anxieties, and depression can be difficult to manage and more than likely you will need some direction. Many people think that they can overcome their mental health problems on their own. This is a mistake. A person should seek assistance to start the recovery process. 4. You will improve. As you work with a professional, you will improve on your skill sets in managing your fears. You will be able to overcome your anxieties over time which will benefit you later in your life. Knowing how to boost your mental health will get your life back on track and will make you much happier. 5. You will get better a lot
faster. Getting some guidance from a counselor will save you a lot of suffering in the long run. You will get the answers you are looking for which will help reduce your fears and anxieties. You will get better a lot faster by talking to a therapist and you will feel much better about yourself which is important when it comes to dealing with your mental health. 6. It is your life. Remember that you are the person who is suffering and not your friends and family. Don’t let the opinions of your peers prevent you from getting the relief that you deserve. Maintaining your anxieties should be your number one priority. Al-
ways do what is best for you and do not get into the habit of trying to please everybody else. 7. You will not be alone. You will have people in your corner who will be able to help improve your mental health issues. You will not feel as alone when attempting to get rid of your fears. It is best to be with others who are supportive and who will understand your situation. This will help make things easier when it comes to your fears and anxieties.

FUNNY-ISH
Making Best Friends In Five Minutes or Less By Joe Capell
A couple of years ago, my daughter met a boy at the McDonald’s PlayPlace and announced to us that she was going to marry him. She was four years old. I don’t think she’s actually going to marry him – we have no idea who he is, and we haven’t seen or heard from him in two years. Still, in those 20 minutes that they played together they got along so well that she believed nuptials were impending. Kids have this ability to make friends anytime and anywhere.
Whenever we go to a park, the kids end up becoming best buds with whoever else happens to be at the playground with them. They’ll say, “Dad! Dad! I made a new best friend!” I’ll say, “Great! What is your best friend’s name?” “Umm...I don’t know.” Apparently, when you’re a kid names aren’t important for friendships. Meanwhile, I don’t make new friends very often.

The vast majority of my friends are people I’ve known for most of my life. In recent years I’ve made several acquaintances. These are people I could become good friends with if I spend enough time with them. But, I usually end up spending my time with my family or the friends I already have, so I rarely invest the time needed to develop new friendships. It’s not that way with kids. Shortly before the pandemic hit, I took my two youngest with me to get an oil change in the minivan at the car dealership. Usually when I go there
I plop the kids in front of the television and get some writing done, but on this occasion the television in the kids’ waiting area wasn’t working. Without the television, the kids quickly teamed up with a couple of other kids and they played tag and danced and ran around the dealership to entertain themselves. When the mother of the other kids told them that it was time to leave, I thought all four children were going to break down into tears. It was quite a scene, complete with hugs and sad waves goodbye. I’ve never had a hard time
saying goodbye to someone I’ve known for less than two hours. The older we get, the more time it takes to actually become friends with someone. But we are less likely to take the time it takes to make those friendships. Things would be easier if we were like kids – able to lose ourselves immediately in friendships with people we’ve just met. (Who knows? You might even meet someone at the PlayPlace that you’ll want to marry.) For more funny-ish stuff, check out slowjoe40. com. (Capell is a Serve Daily contributor.)

vided for his family by working in wholesale and retail carpet sales, selling life insurance, limited partnership and investment planning, and a water softener sales business owner.
