Facing life with optimism and humor
Springville quadruple amputee learning a “new normal” By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily SPRINGVILLE — Admitted to the hospital in the middle of January 2018, Springville resident Tiffany (Fonohema) Kirkman King was diagnosed with viral and bacterial pneumonia. Exacerbated by immunosuppressant drugs prescribed to help with her genetic arthritis, the pneumonia quickly worsened and she became septic. After being comatose for several weeks, it became a question of whether her doctors would save her life or her limbs. They couldn’t save both. Now, over three months later and after having undergone a total of nine surgeries to amputate her arms and legs, King, a mother of six, is learning what she calls her “new normal.” When visitors come to her hospital or rehabilitation room, they find optimism and a sense of humor. This frame of mind has helped in her healing, as has her viewpoint of the people around her. She says she “loves everybody. Everybody has good qualities.” “I have to stay positive. I do have down days. I cry. I get over it and then I go on,” King says. After spending months in the hospital, King is currently staying in a hospital rehabilitation center, where she is involved in physical therapy. Using prosthetics requires a lot of physical strength, so she is doubling up her efforts in training. Once she is strong enough and her skin grafts have sufficiently healed, she will return to the hospital where she will undergo a
different kind of treatment: intensive therapy to teach her how to be independent in her new life while using prosthetics. She won’t be using just one set. The processes surrounding prosthetics are so complex that she will eventually need a succession of several different types and sizes of devices. This will enable her to

PROVO — Saturday, April 7, was a big fundraising day at the Provo Elks Lodge with a craft fair and raffle. Despite the rain of the day, the event drew a large number of vendors and raffle prize donations. Approximately $12,000 was raised and Robert Pagnani, Utah Elks Veterans Chairperson had the following to say. “We just want everyone to know that 100% of the funds raised goes towards Utah Veterans Programs. One of our major projects is going to be for our Little Warriors Camp. This is for Veterans kids and their families who have lost a parent killed in action or committed suicide related to PTSD.” The success of the day is really appreciated. The Little Warriors Camp, known as Camp Wapiti is located high in the mountains above Tooele, Utah. This year’s event is scheduled for July 20. The events for the Little Warriors fill the days and evening with exercise, a morning flag ceremony, a BB gun range, an

‘The Gang’ keeps Tabitha's Way running smoothly
“The Gang” with Tabitha’s Way founder Wendy Osborne.
By Mariela Pastrana for Serve Daily SPANISH FORK — At a time of life when many people look forward to a little less responsibility, a group of local seniors have dedicated their time to helping others by volunteering weekly at Tabitha's Way food pantry in Spanish Fork. Known as "The Gang", they have been volunteering weekly for five years at Tabitha's Way! The Gang shows up every Monday morning and dedicate 2 1/2 hours to stocking the pantry shelves, bailing clothes, cleaning the pantry and many odd jobs that are needed to help Tabitha's Way keep rolling smoothly. From repairing a vacuum that suddenly stops working to assembling the Tabitha's Way bins that are all over Utah County, you can count on the "The Gang" to get the job done with a smile.

Springville Drug Take Free Live Performances at the Springville Talent Festival Back Day a success By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily SPRINGVILLE — The Utah County Department of Drug and Alcohol Prevention and Treatment held a prescription drug take-back event on Saturday, April 28. The event was a huge success! Over 55 pounds of unused and expired prescription drugs were turned in for disposal. If you missed the event, you can still dispose of your unused prescription drugs at the Springville Civic Center in the vestibule near the Springville Police Department. Residents are encouraged to bring their left-over prescription drugs to be disposed of properly. While flushing drugs down the toilet was a common practice up until recently, new studies have shown it has a negative environmental impact. Giving your left-over drugs to someone else to use is also a dangerous practice. This event, and others like it, provides
a safe way to bring awareness to, and dispose properly of prescription medications. Friends and family members supply two-thirds of all the opioids misused and abused by Utahns. It is important to safely dispose of your unused or expired prescription. Utah County also has several free disposal locations available outside of take-back events. Find one near you at useonlyasdirected.org.

Help SEMA help you Miss Salem 2018 Sadie Stewart
By Ken Wright for Serve Daily SALEM — “Help me [us] help you” – Jerry Maguire Emergency Medical Service (EMS) is a team sport. The line-up includes the person who first discovers a problem and calls 911. Outstanding 911 dispatchers gather information from a sometimes frantic/hysterical caller and throw the ball to EMS ambulance crews who respond and ensure any life-threatening issues are addressed so patients make it to the next hand-off at an emergency room. There, miracle-working technicians, nurses and doctors do their magic. The patient and the patient’s family are also part of the team. They can directly contribute to a win. Information and assistance they provided enable responding EMTs to continue the play and get info to the ER ahead of time so they can start preparing to receive the ball. Of course, sometimes a patient is in no condition to provide any help at all. BUT, when POSSIBLE, here are a few things that would help us help you achieve a win: Have someone outside to flag us down and direct us to the entry that will provide the easiest access to the patient. If you tend to collect “stuff”, prepare to arrange for a path through the “stuff”, furniture, etc., that three of us with a gurney and equipment can traverse to get to you. Have a list of medications prepared ahead of time, especially if you have more than you can count on one hand.
Dosages and conditions they treat and medical conditions would also be great. If everyone you know, from family to home/visiting teachers to your former seminary teacher to the bishop needs to be there to oversee treatment, please prepare an area for them so we have room to work, spread out our equipment, and maneuver. These folks might help with #1 and #2 before we get there. Know our “dumb questions” may not be dumb. If we ask what your pain feels like, “It feels painful, you idiot,” won’t help us. There’s a world of difference between “stabbing”, “tearing”, and “crushing” chest pain, maybe the difference between this world and the next. Be honest with us. If you are taking erectile dysfunction drugs, our dose of nitroglycerine to alleviate that chest pain could be a bad thing. (They are also prescribed to females for several conditions, including pulmonary hypertension, so don’t think we’re being silly if we ask.) If you, or your teenaged daughter, are on birth control, we need to know. Personal information like this might be another good reason to move your entourage, posse, crew, peeps to another room (see #4 above). P.S. Don’t worry, it’s illegal for us to tell the bishop, or anyone else, anything about your call. Don’t hesitate to call us if you think there could be a problem. More than a few, who didn’t want to bother anyone, let a stroke or heart attack do much more damage than was necessary. If there’s something we should know about ahead of time, let us know- kenwrightsalemems@gmail.com

To accomplish this, I will speak to junior highs and high schools about the dangers and consequences of driving distracted. In addition, I plan to speak at the elementary schools and host parent nights in order to start the conversation at home. I am thrilled to be Miss Salem 2018 and can't wait to serve Salem community this year.”

Chairbound Sportsman Banquet Success By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily UTAH COUNTY — We have reported several hunting events for handicapped hunters during the past six months that have been carried out by the Chairbound Sportsman Organization. This is a wonderful group of people helping physically limited individuals continue their passion for the outdoor life of hunting and fishing. These events cost money to carry out and the major fundraising event for the Chairbound Sportsman is their annual banquet.
It is exciting to report that the chairbound Sportsman Banquet held last month was a great success with 316 people registered to attend and 20 of those were in wheelchairs. Just under $40,000 was raised and of that $3,450 was a special fundraising project for Juvenile Diabetes medical bills and research. All that money is going to a good cause. Future activities of the Chairbound Sportsman Organization include several Turkey Hunts, Three Corsican Ram Sheep, bow fishing and group fishing on the organization’s pontoon boat modified to accept wheelchairs.

Storytelling and Songs By Cynthia Coulon for My Story Matters “I will write my story fearlessly. Another chapter every day. I’m the one who chooses who I’ll be, And I’m on my way. My story matters” (chorus lyrics by Cherie Call) Over the past year, Utah musician Clive Romney, and songwriter Cherie Call, combined their talents to produce a very special song for a very special cause. The original theme-song is titled, “My Story Matters,” and was made for the nonprofit organization of the same name. It features the vocal talents of 16 local children who are involved with the My Story Matters program. The kids and musicians worked
long hours learning, practicing, and perfecting the song which Clive directed, recorded, and produced. Amy Chandler, founder of My Story Matters, long wanted a song that would reinforce the key principles of the organization. She said, “Kids learn to music. They remember it. It’s a powerful way to share a message.” Amy is thrilled that the My Story Matters theme-song is ready to share with the people her organization serves. She is also very grateful to Clive, Cherie, the singers, and everyone who generously and tirelessly made the song a reality. A veteran of the music business, Clive Romney produces as many as ten albums each year in his recording studio, Pitchfork Studios. He has produced more than 130 albums. He plays numerous instru-

Clive performs as a storyteller and singer-songwriter and is also executive director of Utah Pioneer Heritage Arts. This charitable organization collaborates with other like-minded groups to help communities develop artistic retellings of their stories. This storytelling mission is what brought Mr. Romney and My Story Matters together. He explained, “Our hope for this song is that it will help the My Story Matters organization convince every child that his or her story is important and that every child is significant. I have seen firsthand the effect it has when you tell someone’s story through the arts and it is validated
by being put in professionally created media. It heals, elevated, and inspires.” Because of his long history in the Utah arts and music recording industry, Mr. Romney is familiar with many Utah songwriters and recording musicians. He felt that Cherie Call was the right person to commission to write the lyrics to the My Story Matters theme song. He said, “Cherie is a mother with four school-age children. She is involved daily with listening to their stories and helping them tell their stories.” Now that the My Story Matters themesong is ready to share, it will be presented along with their unique curriculum at schools and events the organization serves.

By Bruce Ericksen for Serve Daily PAYSON — As a resident here at Payson's Bennion Central Utah Veterans Home I see all types of various meaningful efforts to Serve us. I've recently discovered one of the most interesting forms of Community Service. One of our very own residents consistently accomplishes this on behalf of other residents and visitors as well as the incredible staff here. A fulltime resident who insists on staying anonymous donates, twice per month,
$200--$600 in candy for the front desk here at the Vets home. At anywhere from $400 to as much as $1200 per month, it is given out generously to all visitors, residents and staff. We would surely like to acknowledge and thank the generosity of this Veteran who gives of his personal resources in addition to his time to personally purchase all that candy. However, he insists on remaining anonymous. Above is a photo of one of his generously purchased loads from a day of his shopping spree along with Jenna from our always helpful Recreation Department.

THOUGHTS ON ZION Five Myths About Building Zion By Jesse Fisher for Serve Daily
In my decades as a member of the LDS Church, I have heard and read several myths about establishing Zion. Two through five are easily refuted by a casual reading of "Great Basin Kingdom" by Church Historian Leonard J. Arrington. Myth #1 – Building Zion is a spiritual task. This myth is half true. Building Zion does require spiritual work, ridding ourselves of selfishness and learning to truly esteem our neighbor as ourselves. But, according to the actions and teachings of early LDS leaders, building Zion also requires a monumental temporal work – uniting the Saints economically. Myth #2 - The LDS Church gave up on building Zion after Joseph Smith's failed attempt to implement the Law of Consecration. Under the direction of Brigham Young, the Church made unceasing efforts to
build a Zion society in the Rocky Mountains during the 1850s through the 1870s. Before he directed the members to establish United Orders a second time, President Young spearheaded the creation of cooperatives throughout the Territory including Zion's Cooperative Mercantile Institute (ZCMI) which was a smashing success. He did these things to unite the Saints economically. Myth #3 - The Church gave up building Zion after Brigham's United Orders failed. In fact, President Taylor took up the Zion-building gauntlet by establishing the Zion Central Board of Trade (google it). He considered it one of his greatest achievements. The boards of trade were specifically established to assess the needs of local economies and create cooperatives to fill those needs. This was his chosen method of preparing the Saints for a third run at the United Orders. Myth #4 - After so many failures, the Church just gave up on building Zion economically.
It was actually the enforcement of the Edmunds Anti-Polygamy Act that ended the Church's efforts to unite the Saints economically. All the Boards of Trade, most of the cooperatives and the few remaining United Orders were led by LDS bishops and stake presidents - the very men who went into hiding when the polygamy raids began. Left leaderless, those organizations drifted out of existence or into the hands of those who ran them like "Gentile" businesses. Sadly, then and now, Egypt's fleshpots are too appealing for most of us. Myth #5 - We must wait to be commanded to build Zion. As if the only possible economic implementation of Zion principles is a priesthood-directed United Order! I believe this to be the most stifling of the myths as it justifies inaction on the part of those of us who have covenanted in God's temples to establish Zion. Both Presidents Young and Taylor saw the creation of cooperatives as a stepping-stone to the United Orders. There are thousands of success-
ful cooperatives throughout the world! Can't we build them too? The assumption that we must wait to be "compelled in all things" leads to inaction. If we who have covenanted to build Zion are inactive in that regard, who wins? Read more at BuildingZion.org

Special Censuses of Deaf Families and Indian Rolls By Ginny Ackerson for Serve Daily This month, in a continuing series on the United States Federal censuses, we will discuss the special census of deaf citizens and the Indian Census Rolls from 1885-1940. The U.S. Special Census on Deaf Family Marriages and Hearing Relatives, 1888-1895 was conducted under the auspices of the Volta Bureau. The Volta Bureau, located in Washington, D.C., was founded in 1887 by Alexander Graham Bell. The Bureau promoted research in regards to marriages of the deaf in America. This work was primarily undertaken by Dr. E. A. Fay. The federal government even appointed Dr. Fay as its special agent for collecting such statistical information. As part of Dr. Fay’s research on marriages of the deaf, he distributed a questionnaire to deaf couples and family
members of deaf individuals. The questionnaires were completed during the years 1889-1894. Informa-
1936, 1938, and 1939 – only supplemental rolls of additions and deletions were compiled. There is not a census for every
Special Censuses contain treasure troves of information. tion recorded on these forms includes: the names of husband and wife, whether they were deaf or hearing, the age at which deafness occurred and the cause of deafness, if they attended school, their occupation, details of the couple’s marriage (including date and place), details of the couple’s children (number deaf or hearing, names, dates of birth or death, cause of death, etc.), and details relating to husband’s and wife’s parents, brothers and sisters. The U.S., Indian Census Rolls, 18851940 are census rolls usually submitted each year by agents or superintendents in charge of Indian reservations, as required by law. The data on the rolls varies to some extent. For certain years – including 1935,
reservation or group of Indians for every year. Only persons who maintained a formal affiliation with a tribe under federal supervision are listed on these census rolls. Most of the rolls for the year 1940 were retained by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and are not included in this database. Rolls were not required to be submitted after 1940 so only a few post-1940 records are included. Information contained in this database can include: name (Indian and/or English), gender, age, birth date, relationship to head of family, marital status, tribe name, agency and reservation name. Next month we’ll conclude this series on the Federal census returns with a discussion about the Non-Population Sched-
ules, 1850-1880. Non-population schedules contained in Ancestry’s database include agriculture, industry/manufacturers and social statistics which all have many benefits for genealogists.

EDUCATION
The Amazing Special Needs Prom Night By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily SPANISH FORK — Saturday night, April 28, Classroom 13 at Spanish Fork High School was decorated for Prom night for a special group of students, the special needs senior students at the school. The table place settings and decorations were in the school colors of gold and black for 24 students. A serving table was arranged for the arrival of salad, pasta, and breadsticks donated by Olive Garden Restaurant. This was followed by water or lemonade to drink. Then the boutonnieres and wristlets which were the creation of Brandon Gardner’s Floriculture Class arrived. The classroom was ready. It was around 5 o’clock when the special needs students started arriving. The boys had new pants, shirts and shoes as needed, and the girls had gotten their dresses from All Jazzed Up, a program donating dresses to girls in need. What a happy and handsome group of young people. As they entered the classroom each received their floral arrangement. This was an awesome event for this
senior class of students with special individual challenges who are usually not included in major events such as Prom night. This Special Needs Student Prom Night was the result of senior student and peer tutor Matti Tracy. She and the other special need tutors worked hard to assure an amazing Prom night experience for the Special Needs Students of Spanish Fork High School. They made arrangements for appropriate donated clothing, tickets to the Prom, and coordinated rides. Matti asked Olive Garden for a discount on the dinner meal and Manager Robert Lindo said that for this important cause they would donate the meal. That is wonderful community involvement by the Spanish Fork Olive Garden Restaurant. This is an example of good people helping the less privileged on Prom night. Before the meal was served, the Special Needs Prom couples went to the school auditorium and were the first to march in the Promenade. This was a great opportunity for photos by proud parents. Then it was back to the classroom for dinner. The grand finale and for our special needs students, the most awesome event of all was the Prom night 2017

The fact that this amazing evening was at the initiative of the senior peer tutors is a wonderful gesture of serving others. All the donations that were provided to
pull off the evening’s events also make a wonderful statement about the people in our community. Witnessing an evening like this makes you feel good about the community we live in.

ALC CAPS partners with local businesses for real-world experience By Ronda Hair for Serve Daily SALEM — The Nebo Advanced Learning Center (ALC) Center for Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS) programs are nationally recognized, innovative high school programs. Students fast forward into their future and are fully immersed in a professional culture, solving real-world problems, using industry standard tools and are mentored by actual employers, all while receiving high school and college credit. CAPS is an example of how business, community and public education can partner to produce personalized learning experiences that educate the workforce of tomorrow, especially in high skill, high demand jobs. As part of the CAPS model, we partnered with ACE (Architecture, Construction, Engineers) of Utah to involve students in afterschool activities. Students have been instructed and taught by several professionals in all phases of project development, taken field trips and worked on projects. Each event had built-in feedback from electrical engineers, civil engineers, architects, builders and other professionals. CAPS has also partnered with Building
Beginnings and Division of Workforce Services. Building Beginnings is a nonprofit organization designed to help those in recovery from drugs and alcohol. They provide employment, transportation to work, case management, affordable housing, and out-patient treatment for those dedicated to staying sober, working hard, and supporting the team. ALC students completed a mini documentary for Building Beginnings. This documentary will be used by the company to promote their non-profit efforts and by DWS to demonstrate the success of the business to encourage other business owners to work towards a similar approach to hiring. ALC students are currently working as interns at Rocket Ship industrial design, Atek personal protection and Klos guitars. Working closely with professionals allows students to experience firsthand the skills required and demands that must be meet in the workplace. Each student is having an amazing experience working with mentors and employers to engage in applicable projects. We are very appreciative the support we are receiving from our communities.

ALC Taking to the Sky
By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily SALEM — According to a 2017 study by the world’s largest airplane manufacturer, Boeing Commercial Airplane Company, North America will need 117,000 airline pilots between now and 2036. Much has been written in the past couple of years about the current and future pilot shortage. There has never been a better time in the 114-year history of the airplane to become a professional pilot. The Nebo School District Advanced Learning Center (ALC) in Salem is developing a unique high school aviation and pilot training program. The fabulous career opportunities are only part of what makes this program worthwhile. The mere thought of flying an airplane can be very motivating to students as an exciting endeavor that can add purpose to their lives. For school educators, this is an ef-
fective way to promote the Department of Education priority of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. During the 2016/2017 school year, the new ALC facility in Salem opened its doors and the beginning of the new aviation education program commenced. Twenty-eight students enrolled in the Aviation History and Private Pilot Course. During this past month of April, a Redbird MCX full-motion flight simulator, with a wrap-around visual, configured as a Cessna 172 with traditional round gauges was installed at the school. Additionally, four Redbird Jay Velocity PC type flight training devices have been purchased for the aviation program. For the 2018/2019 school year, a Flight Simulator Course and Air Transportation Management will be added to the curriculum. All that is pretty exciting to the student’s and enrollment in the aviation program is forecast to grow to 132 students.

Students attend the Nebo District Captain’s Academy.
By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily SPANISH FORK — Nebo student athletic leaders from junior high and high schools gathered for a Captain’s Academy on March 28, 2018, at the Nebo School District Office. These team leaders were selected by their peers and/or their coaches as leaders on their respective teams. Team captains of track and field, baseball, golf, tennis, soccer and softball teams from each secondary school in the district gathered for motivation and collaboration regarding sportsmanship and leadership. The first presenter was Krista Prusak, Athletic Trainer at Maple Mountain High School. Ms. Prusak had students literally rolling on the ground as they participated in rolling on foam pads to relieve various forms of muscle knots and areas of soreness. Students grasped the value of pre- and post-workout stretching to their overall health. Next up was Eli Herring, teacher and coach at Mountain View High School and former state champion football player and wrestler at Springville High School. Mr. Herring used his master story-telling abilities to engage student-athletes in their role as sportsmanship ambassadors. His message was that each leader’s job is to represent family, school, and team to others in a positive way. He addressed respecting all people, no matter their situation or abilities. He finished with the idea that these can be even be done in the
atmosphere of stiff competition. The final session was tag-teamed by two softball players from Weber State University: Kirtlyn Bohling from Salem Hills and McKinley Brinkerhoff from Spanish Fork. These current Wildcats used a ‘helium stick’ to teach student-athletes about leadership and cooperation. They drew out from attendees that there are different styles of leadership and that each has a place in building a team culture that can be passed from one class to the next. Finally, Ms. Bohling and Ms. Brinkerhoff supported Mr. Herring’s assertion that every player on a team has the ability to lead in the right circumstances and even players with more age and experience can learn from the youngest, inexperienced players. Some student captain’s comments included: “I really enjoyed the whole thing, getting to know other people and understanding my role as a captain more deeply. It made me feel proud to be a captain and want to help my team be successful.” “I felt like it was a great way to show what we are expected to do as captains and to have good sportsmanship thank you so much for letting my school come!” Nebo School District thanks these fine leaders for their guidance of these young athlete captains and extend a special thanks to Mark Binks of Springville High and Lee Gillie of Salem Hills High for facilitating the Captain’s Councils as a follow up to each speaker.

Teens craft 3600 Origami Flowers for Florida HS shooting victims By Brian Brinkerhoff for Serve Daily SPANISH FORK -- Several Utah County schools joined forces to do something special for students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School as part of Utah Kindness Month. They made 3,600 origami flowers to send to those affected by the Florida school shooting. As heartbreaking news from Florida eclipsed local heartwarming stories, local newspapers highlighted a Junior at Spanish Fork High School who wanted to help students and staff know that they are respected, remembered and loved. Sterling Brinkerhoff, with help of hundreds of volunteers and sponsors, ensured that every student and staff member at Spanish Fork High School received an origami flower and Valentine’s Day treat, donated by Mrs. Calls Caramels and V Chocolates. The flower design was an original created by Sterling in 5th Grade, representing a lily instead of a rose. A heart folds out with a hidden message of hope and encouragement. The lily has represented faith, wisdom and chivalry since the 14th century. Timpanogos High teacher, Glen Zobell, contacted Sterling after reading his story to see if together, they could do something similar. Within days, two schools were united in an effort to share that same message with students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. As Sterling was trying to connect with someone to receive the flowers in Florida, Mr. Ryan Petty was in Utah during the last week of the 2018 Legislative Session. Father of one of the shooting victims, he initiated a declaration that April be designated as Utah Kindness Month- in memory of the goodness of his daughter. Sterling contacted him and was able to start setting dates to build flowers for Florida. Mr. Petty was excited to hear about the effort and wanted it to serve as an example to others around the world. Brinkerhoff said, “It was incredible that Mr. Zobell contacted me to do something on this scale. I am so impressed with him and his enthusiasm. This is going to be a lot of fun.”

Art City Center provides downtown luxury in Springville By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily SPRINGVILLE — The Art City Center has brought luxury mixed-use style living to downtown Springville. Located just off Main Street at 79 W 900 N, The Art City Center includes climate controlled storage units, office suites, and luxury apartments. Property Manager Joel Beach said developers wanted the building to be iconic, like the Springville Art Museum, and accomplished that with a contemporary look and stylings. "We are ready for new tenants to come and start living the good life," he said. As a property manager, he said this is his "most exciting project yet." Beach said during planning, developers had three things they wanted to accomplish. First, they wanted a building that was safe. At the Art City Center, all of the hallways and stairs are interior and you need codes to enter the building. The area is covered by security cameras. All units are equipped with state of the art smoke alarms and fire extinguishers, child-proof window locks and front door peepholes. Second, they wanted the Art City Center to offer amenities "that touch our ten-

steel appliances. Each unit has its own water heater and furnace. Beach said oversized windows "bring in light and keep power bills down." The apartments are just under 1200 square feet and are 3 bedroom, 2 bath. All of the units have a balcony. There are a limited number of pet-friendly units available. Beach said the units can accommodate families, students and seniors. The first residents moved in May 1. "We're looking to build a community of diverse people," he said.
The climate controlled storage units are available to both residents and non-residents. The temperature is kept moderate so "your property won't freeze in the winter and cook in the summer." They are secure and accessible anytime by electronic entry. While there are still units available for storage, business and living, they are expected to full up fast. Beach invites people to set up a tour by visiting the website, Artcitycenter.com to set up an appointment. The apartments include top quality interiors.

Doug Tarter joins Payson - Tabitha's Way ribbon cutting Santaquin Chamber board opens new Spanish Fork Location By The Payson & Santaquin Chamber of Commerce for Serve Daily
PAYSON — Troy Barnum, owner of Payson Total Fitness for opening a second location. This is exciting news for Troy and the community. With the dedication needed for two facilities, Troy has stepped down as a Board member for the Payson Santaquin Chamber of Commerce. He has been a great asset and the board wishes him continued success. Doug Tarter with BHHS Elite Real Estate has volunteered to fill Troy's remaining time on the Board. Doug is a fairly new member of our Chamber but has been very active and involved from day one. The chamber is delighted to welcome Doug as the newest Board member and look forward to what he will bring to the Chamber. Tarter was born in Provo, Utah and raised in Spokane, Washington. After high school, he served an LDS mission in San Bernardino California and then returned to Utah to pursue a Marketing degree at BYU and Utah State; where he achieved a Bachelors Degree in Marketing. While at BYU, Doug met his fantastic wife of almost 30 years. He and Wendy have 4 children, 3 boys and 1 daughter. He said, "Living here in Payson for 17 years, we love the community and the great beauty that exists here in the area. There is nothing better than the smell of
Doug Tarter hay and sounds of pheasants and birds in the area. Having a bull elk walk down our street a couple of years ago was indeed a treat that doesn’t happen every day." Doug has worked for years in sales and marketing and currently uses his expertise in the field of real estate with Berkshire Hathaway. Real Estate has been an interest of Doug’s for a long time and being able to help all types of people sell their homes or in helping that new married couple get into their first home; Doug loves it all. He loves being outside and meeting people all over the area. In his free time, Doug has spent many years coaching football at the Jr High level, fly fishing, camping, working with the Boy Scouts and spending time with friends and family. He has volunteered as a guest speaker at Salem High School and Salem Jr High School teaching about Marketing and sales. He is looking forward to working with everyone in the area and especially with those in the Chamber of Commerce.

Tabitha's Way opened its new Spanish Fork location with a ribbon cutting.
By Wendy Osborne for Serve Daily SPANISH FORK — On behalf of Tabitha's Way Local Food Pantry, I would like to thank everyone who helped us in achieving the important milestone of our new location in Spanish Fork. This project took 2 years of planning and construction and has come to fruition by the help of many hands, generous donors, and hundreds of friends. Today as I looked across the audience of open house attendees, I saw my family, fellow coworkers, volunteers, community leaders, local grocery store donors, representatives from fellow non-profit
and civic organizations (also know as do-gooder's), businesses and individuals that have donated, time, money and resources. Each of you are a part of the fabric that is known as Tabitha's Way and we couldn't have done this without you. Over 13,000 client shoppers were served in our local pantry in 2017, half of which were children. Nearly 1 million pounds of donated foods were collected and redistributed through our pantry. You are blessing our communities, you are changing lives. Thank you and may God bless you for joining us on this incredible journey. #Together we are Tabitha! Sign at the new Tabitha’s Way building.

SPANISH FORK – Local food pantry, Tabitha’s Way, thanks local stores and restaurants for donating over 490,000 pounds of food in 2017. Stores donating to the south county Tabitha’s Way pantry include: Spanish Fork and Payson Walmart, Neighborhood Market, Provo and Springville Smith’s, Costco, Fresh Market, Payson and Springville Pizza Hut, Olive Garden, Kneaders, Jimmy John’s, Chick-fil-A, Good Earth, and the Bishop’s Storehouse. Tabitha’s Way Co-founder, Wendy Osborne said, “Without the donations from these amazing stores and restaurants we wouldn’t have been able to provide over 4 million meals to 35,000 children and 36,000 seniors, veterans and food insecure individuals in 2017. We are so thankful for their commitment to fighting hunger in our community” One in 5 children is food insecure. Over
78,000 people in Utah county live at or below the Federal Poverty line. Tabitha’s Way works to help individuals and families in Utah County through their 2 pantry locations – North county in American Fork and South County in Spanish Fork. Individuals and families struggling with food insecurity can go into either of these 2 locations and receive needed help. This is from a Tabitha’s Way patron, “I’m 96 years old and I used to grow all my food. I served my country and am a retired veteran. I am supposed to drink these special drinks to make sure I get enough food, but I can’t afford them. Tabitha’s saves the drinks for me and gives me the food that I need. I’m too old to grow my food now.” For anyone looking for a way to give to Tabitha’s Way to help in their mission, you can volunteer in either of their 2 pantries, donate money, or host a food drive. You can also drop off clothing or household items at any of our 150 bin locations or bring them to Tabitha’s Way.

National Park Service Rolls Back Fees
Canyonlands’ Mesa Arch.
Photo: Ed Helmick
By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily In the August 2017 issue of Serve Daily, we announced that the National Park Service would significantly increase entrance fees in 2018. As a result of more than 100,000 comments from the public and concerns from several lawmakers the initial proposed fee increase has been reconsidered. The new “modest” fee increase raises the prices of Utah’s National Park Entrance fees per vehicle effective June 1, 2018, as shown below. Arches NP $25 to $30 Bryce Canyon NP $30 to $35
Canyonlands NP $25 to $30 Capitol Reef NP $15 to $20 Zion NP $30 to $35 The price for the annual “America the Beautiful” pass and the Lifetime Senior Pass, which allows access to most National Parks and Monuments will continue to be $80, as proposed last summer. Part of the justification for last year’s proposed fee increase was to address deferred maintenance issues in the national park system. Department of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has asked Congress to pass legislation that would use revenue from new energy development on federal land and water to address national park maintenance needs.

Paul Cave and Friends Featured in Sunday Concert Series By Ginny Ackerson for Serve Daily
SPRINGVILLE — The Springville Arts Commission is pleased to feature Paul Cave and his friends, Charlie and Amaya Flint, Ammon Flint, Amanda Angerbauer, Maddy Shearer and Jake Hart performing at the Springville Museum of Art for the Sunday Concert Series on Sunday, May 20, at 4:30 p.m. The concert is free to the public and family friendly. Paul began participating in performing arts productions his senior year of high school. In college, he was a performer/ choreographer for the BYU Young Ambassadors (2012-14). He is currently an adjunct English professor at BYU, coaches competitive ballroom dancing, and is a Sinatra/ Bublé-style singer for corporate and other events. Musical theater credits include 'Marius' (Les Miserables), 'Mr. Banks' (Mary Poppins), ‘Frank Abegnale Jr.' (Catch Me If You Can) etc. He has also directed two Broadway review shows for the Carriage House Theater in Canada as well as Payson Community Theater in Utah. Charlie Flint is a student at BYU studying psychology. He has appeared in various productions in the Utah valley in roles including Marius (Les Miserables) and Lucas (The Addams Family). Jake Hart entered the world of musical theater shortly after graduating with a degree in finance, and the past three years have been a whirlwind of shows. His favorite roles include Sir Percy Blakeney in The Scarlet Pimpernel and George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life. Maddy Shearer has been part of many productions and choral groups throughout her 12 years studying music and theater. Some of her recent credits include touring France with the U of U’s Chamber
Paul Cave Choir and playing Wednesday Addams in Payson Community Theater’s production of The Addams Family Musical.

Ammon has been in many plays and musicals throughout his life. The Sunday Concert Series has its annual sabbatical in June and July and the new season begins on Sunday, August 19, with Rex Kocherhans and Company. Because of inclement weather, Kocherans’ concert scheduled in March was cancelled and he kindly re-scheduled his performance for August.

It is about 74 miles from Spanish Fork down US Highway 6 and over Soldier Summit to Price and on to the small town of Wellington to start your exploration of Nine Mile Canyon. Nine Mile Canyon has been called “the world’s longest art gallery” because the canyon is almost 40 miles long. There are an estimated 1,000 rock art sites in the canyon with an estimated 10,000 individual images. Between 950 and 1250 AD, the canyon was occupied by the Fremont Indian Culture. In the 16th century, the ancestral Utes started occupying the canyon. In the 19th century, pioneer trappers and ranchers started moving into the canyon. A family drive through Nine Mile Canyon is a unique exploration of history. At the east side of the parking lot at Miller’s Wellington Chevron is a kiosk that provides information about visiting Nine Mile Canyon. This is also a good place to top off your vehicle fuel tank, pick up a few snacks, lunch, and most importantly drinking water. Reset your

odometer to zero, as this will help you find some reference points as you drive through the canyon. The road has been paved to prevent dust from having an adverse effect on the ancient pictographs. The first 12.5 miles cross high desert plateau country, and this time of year wildflowers will add some color to the trip. At about 20.5 miles you cross Minnie Maude Creek and shortly after that, you will find a BLM sign stating that you are entering Nine Mile Canyon and giving you some history of the canyon. In another of couple miles, you will come across the evidence of an old homestead. This area is private property, and you are asked to respect it. Down the road a little further you will find the Nine Mile Ranch which has campsites and a store. The first notable pictographs to look for are at about 25.8 miles where you will find a pull-out on the right side of the road, and the rock wall on the opposite side of the road has numerous rock art along the lower wall. At about 26.8 miles is the Cottonwood Picnic Area with restrooms. As you continue to drive the
canyon, pull-out areas indicate nearby rock art features. Most notable is a balanced rock on the cliff above the road with a number of interesting drawings. There are so many rock wall drawings in this canyon that they can’t all be listed here. You just have to drive slow, get out of your car and walk around exploring the canyon walls. A parking area or pull-out is an indication of rock art nearby. You will find a fork in the road at about 38 miles, and you will want to take the right-hand fork into Cottonwood Canyon. In approximately 8 miles, or 46 miles from where you zeroed your odometer at Wellington, you will be at the parking area for the Big Buffalo Panel. This interesting artwork is located across the canyon on the east wall. Just 0.2 miles down the road on the right is the parking area and kiosk for the famous “Great Hunt Panel” which is one of the finest examples of ancient rock art that you can find any place. This is a spectacular reward for your day's drive into Nine Mile Canyon. Next Month In Your Back Yard will explore Eureka and the Tintic Mining District.

THE FUNNYISH FILES
n Where Is the Mother's Day Parade? By Joseph Capell for Serve Daily
So, when are they having the Mother's Day Parade? Here in America, we'll throw a parade for just about any holiday. There's the Rose Bowl Parade on New Year's Day. There's the Macey's Thanksgiving Day Parade. There are lots of St. Patrick's Day parades across the country, and even more parades on the 4th of July. We don't have military parades here (yet) but a lot of other countries do. Even right here in southern Utah County, we have the Spanish Fork Pioneer Day Parade, the Payson Onion Days Parade, the Springville Art City Days Parade, the Santaquin Orchard Days Parade, and the Salem Days Parade. (That's in Salem, by the way.) That's a lot of parades. And yet, there is no Mother's Day Parade! This is an outrage! Who has done more to deserve a parade than mothers? Mothers give birth to us. Mothers
feed us. Mothers clothe us. Mothers sing us lullabies to help us sleep. Mothers potty train us so we aren't walking around with poop in our underwear all of the time. Mothers help us with our homework. Mothers make us eat our vegetables. Mothers wait up for us when we're out late. Mothers teach us how to do our chores. Mothers teach us to be nice to others. Mothers teach us that we shouldn't make that face because we wouldn't like it if our face froze that way. Mothers make us our favorite meals for our birthdays. Mothers plan our birthday parties. Mothers help us plan our weddings. Mothers take us to the park. Mothers teach us how to tie our shoes. Mothers get us ready to go out and face the world on our own. (Yes, I know that fathers can do most of those same things, but there's something a little extra special about the way mothers do them.) So, what would a Mother's Day Parade look like? I think there would be lots of wonderful mothers riding around in convertibles or on floats, waving at the
Left: My dear mother, festive and ready for her parade. Below: My mother and I, a long, long time ago.
crowd. Instead of throwing just candy, maybe they'd throw some vegetables, too? (You've got to have a balanced diet, you know!) Look, I've got nothing against St. Patrick; I'm sure he was a nice guy. (Probably even saintly.) But does he really deserve a parade more than mothers do? Everyone has a mother. They do so much for us! We didn't always do what they asked of us. We don't call or write as often as we should. The least we can do is throw them a parade every once in a while! For more funny-ish stuff, check out slowjoe40.com.
