By Jolynn Forman It was a week of old fashioned fun in Santaquin for Orchard Days! The volunteers have worked for months to organize the activities and events. We had an ATV Ride the first Saturday that gave a group of riders the chance to create the best poker hand they could by getting cards at various stations around the foothills of Santaquin. The Little Buck-a-Roo Rodeo followed with kids from the ages of three and up riding sheep, wrestling calves, and chasing chickens for prizes. They all sought after the grand prize of a new saddle and a shiny belt buckle to show off to the crowd. Monday, we had a fabulous Family Night with free carnival games, a petting zoo, bounce houses and even a nighttime movie for the crowds. Wild Wonders came and taught us about skunks, snakes and other Utah animals. Everybody got to pet the animals afterward.
World Folkfest Wows Audiences By Shirley Hopkins Image having a passport that would allow you and your family to experience the sights and sounds of countries around the world at a bargain price. Stay in your seat. You don’t need to rush out to your nearest travel agent as you have it right here in Springville every year about this time. It’s the World Folkfest, brought to you and made possible by the volunteer efforts of many volunteers, host families, and participating sponsors. The World Folkfest has been bringing the real flavor of cultures around the world to your doorstep here in Springville since 1986. The extravaganza features hundreds of dancers, musicians, and other talent from diverse corners of the world along with some specialty local groups. For instance, Thursday night, July 31,
started with a pre-show group of flamenco dancers from Salt Lake City, the Tablado Dance Company. Minutes later we were in France, watching dancers celebrate their local way of life through folk dance. From there our world travel experience went to Bangladesh to watch the dancers from the Academy of Fine Arts in Dhaka. After being transported to their country via music, dance, and stunning costumes it was on to Lithuania to watch the stage folklore company from Vilinius, that nation’s capital. Next, the Rocky Mountain Express, from Orem, Utah brought us back home with its rousing fast and precise clogging footwork. Starting with a traditional blessing of the baby, the Native American performing group Morning Star (also based in Utah County), highlighted its presentation with the ever-popular Hoop Dance.
The week after was full of Home Run Derbies, Mountain Bike Races, and Fun Runs to get the community out and enjoying the surrounding area of Santaquin. It all ended with a Grand Parade down Main Street along with our award winning Rodeo in the Santaquin Fairgrounds. For the two nights, it was bull riding, bronco busting and fireworks lighting up our sky! The winners of the rodeo included Dylan Rydalch in Bareback Bronco Riding, Trampus Quaranberg in Calf Roping and Jacalyn Walker in Break-a-Way . Jaren Evans won the Saddle Bronc event and TJ Atkins bested in Steer Wrestling. Our Barrels winner was Brandi Giles and David Moates with Brock Andrus were the team to beat in Team Roping. The grand winner of the night in Bull Riding was Louis Schardine. At the rodeo Friday night, we honored Deputy Sherwood who was shot on our Main Street several months ago while protecting our city. We thank him for his sacrifice. We also want to thank all the men and women who helped Continued on page 16
Then it was back to our world travels first to Belgium where they celebrate clean clothes in one of their traditional folk dances. We then traveled from Europe to the Far East where the Water Reflection Dance Ensemble from Taipei, Taiwan, introduced us to three cultural diversities through dance. We then ventured to the outbacks of Australia to experience the sounds and dance of the Aboriginal Nyooongah nation. Our world travel experience ended in Indonesia seeing this country through the Radha Sarisha celebrating physical strength and skill through their dance. The outpouring of artistic expression is contagious. Soon hands are clapping, feet and tapping, and people in the audience are swaying with the music. During the twenty minute intermission, you are sure to see more than one solo performance from a youngster who has been caught up Continued on page 10

ver the past year we have looked at many current governmental problems plaguing the United States. We’ve also looked at various solutions to these problems. This has been my main purpose in writing these articles for Serve Daily, to hopefully educate and get people thinking about things they perhaps had never noticed, and in addition, provide possible solutions to the problems discussed. I am an educator by profession, and one of my goals in life is to be a teacher of correct and truthful principles and help people become aware of things that they might not otherwise see, think of, or understand, and to help them better themselves and the world. To further this goal, I am leaving for Scotland to attend the University of Edinburgh to finish my graduate level education. Thus, this will be my last article for Serve Daily. But, I will be replaced by a worthy writer from Utah’s Libertas Institute. While I have proposed many possible suggestions to governmental problems and examples of oppression discussed in my articles, I have reserved the best and most powerful suggestion for last. While it may be extremely unpopular in much of the world, even here in the US, it is the only viable solution to the continued government saturation of oppression and tyranny throughout the US. The solution is the continued spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and its principles of daily living as seen most purely, I sincerely believe, in the LDS religion. In order to make a large dent in tyrannical government and to slow the spread of oppression, we must further disseminate Christ’s teachings, study them daily, and apply them regularly to our lives in all our thoughts and actions. Let membership in Christ’s Gospel be a secondary issue; the real importance firstly is to spread the teachings of Christ as taught in the LDS religion. Membership is important, but the principles are for everyone in every time and locality in the world, and let the teaching and adopting of those be the primary concern first and foremost, addressing membership secondarily. Not everyone will feel that membership in the LDS religion is for them at first. But, in the very least, if we adopt and apply to all aspects of our individual lives Christ’s three great moral teachings of the Golden Rule, that we reap what we sow, and that whatsoever judgment and measure one meet out to others will be given and met out to him, governmental tyranny will have a huge stumbling block placed in its evil path forward to world domination. The only way to counter the spread of darkness, coercion, hate, and violence through government is to shine the light of truth, peace, persuasion, and love as much as possible throughout the world. Christ teaches us to do all things through persuasion, love/charity, and long suffering/patience, and not through unjust use of force of arms or threats of violence, which is what human government often tends to do. (See D&C 121:41-43 and Jacob 1:7-8). This applies to human government as well. If God governs us through persuasion, love, and patience, then who are we, His posterity/creations to use any other means in governing ourselves and our fellowmen? God’s ways of governing mankind are made known plainly to mankind in D&C 134, and has been addressed in more detail in previous articles. But in short, human governments “should restrain crime, but never control conscience; should punish guilt, but never suppress the freedom of the soul.” And as we’ve discussed, crime in the eyes of our Cre-
ator is the actual, intentional violation of another’s equal rights (e.g. theft, fraud, murder, injury to body and health, etc.). Man should act thusly in government, using force as little as possible except in just and exigent cases, in times of just, defensive warfare after the manner revealed by God in D&C 98:33-38, and in times of just judicial proceedings that set forth attempts to make restitution to the victims of actual, intentional crimes, after a speedy trial before one peers, having been presumed innocent until found guilty. Even then, such restitutional punishments must be equal to the crime/ harm done, and nothing more. Forced restitution for crimes found to be committed can be just, even by force of arms. However, let us take to heart the words of the Prophet Joseph Smith, in his 1844 presidential platform, concerning American government and its unrighteous, oppressive, and illogical penal system: My cogitations, like Daniel’s, have for a long time troubled me, when I viewed the condition of men throughout the world, and more especially in this boasted realm, where the Declaration of Independence “holds these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;” but at the same time…hundreds of our own kindred for an infraction, or supposed infraction, of some over-wise statute, have to be incarcerated in dungeon gloom, or penitentiaries, while the duellist, the debauchee, and the defaulter for millions, and criminals, take the uppermost rooms at feasts, or, like the bird of passage, find a more congenial clime by flight. Abolish the cruel customs of prisons (except certain cases), penitentiaries, court-martials for desertion; and let reason and friendship reign over the ruins of ignorance and barbarity; yea, I would, as the universal friend of man, open the prisons, open the eyes, open the ears, and open the hearts of all people, to behold and enjoy freedom-unadulterated freedom… Other problems that plague every society that could be solved by the adoption of LDS practices are welfare laws and their accompanying government growth, centralization, and unjust, burdensome taxes. The LDS religion has a flourishing welfare program, and is funded with purely voluntary donations. And these donations are made because the LDS members have learned to live life and do all things by persuasion, love, and patience. If the principles Christ are spread, accepted, and practiced faithfully by more people in the world, there will be less tyrants and incidents of oppression because they will be practicing the ways of divine government the best they can: persuasion, love, and patience. Thus, the importance of continuing to spread the Gospel of Christ and its teachings, and of continuing in patience and love to persuade all men and women to come unto Christ and learn of his and his Father’s ways cannot be understated. I know these principles to be good, true, and worthwhile, and the practice of them by all the societies of the world can only lead to improvement socially, economically, criminally, and governmentally. Let’s voluntarily adopt them in our own lives and in our dealings with others, all the way up to the governmental level. If we do this, we will see many of our current oppressive laws right themselves as they are repealed for their oppressiveness and injustice. God bless you all, my readers.

Spring Canyon Fire burns 140+ acres By Rod Oldroyd The fire in Springville was started in the early morning hours of Saturday, July 26. The name given this fire was the Spring Canyon Fire. The fire is still under investigation but was most likely caused by teenagers and sparklers in the Spring Creek area of the city. This is an area that is dense with dry grasses, brush and oak trees. A Springville City Police Officer responded to the scene quickly, ran up the trail with two fire extinguishers but the fire could not be brought under control. The Springville Fire Department needs to be commended on the job they did saving as they saved structures from being damaged. Several firefighters assisted in hauling fire hose 1200 feet up the steep mountain terrain. Due to the steep terrain and accessibility air support was heavily used. Forest Service Air Support were on scene at approximately 9:45 am. with 2 Air Tankers, 4 Single Engine Air Tankers, 3 Helicopters and 2 Fire engines. As of Monday (28th) the fire had burned an estimated 140 acres. Helicopters filled their tanks and boom with a temporary water source at the Springville High School where hundreds of spectators watched all during the entire day on Saturday. On Sunday (27th) that temporary water source was moved further up the canyon. Over 70,000 gallons of water and retardant was dropped on the fire on Saturday. Five Forest Service Hand Crews along with one Interagency Hot Shot Crew worked to contain the fire. Most of the fire crews moved out of the area on Tuesday (29th). Crews were aided by equipment and personnel from Spanish Fork, Salem, Mapleton, and Utah Coun-

ty Fire Departments. The base camp was set up at Springville High School. Firefighters were able to shower at the Springville Community Pool facility and eat and sleep on the park and in the school. The command center was set up in the G wing at the Springville High School.

Thoughts on Zion By Jesse Fisher
Building Zion Spiritually
S
tatements by LDS leaders in the 1860’s clarify the spiritual work needed to build Zion. It appears that the “one heart” part of the recipe requires us, to live worthy of revelation and then obey it, on an on-going basis --united in our love of God and obedience to Him and His will, as revealed to us individually and through the prophets. Wilford Woodruff on 4/7/1867 said, “This body of people, or church, has got to build up the Zion of God in the last days, and this work cannot be accomplished upon any other principle than that of our being united together as the heart of one man.” Pres. Brigham Young then explains how we can become of one heart through sanctification, “...they must be gathered together to be taught, that they may sanctify themselves before the Lord and become of one heart and of one mind.” (4/14/1867). And in that unity they are to obey God: “We are called to build up Zion, and we cannot build it up unless we are united; and in that union we have got to carry out the commandments of God unto us, and we have got to obey those who are set to
lead and guide the affairs of the Kingdom of God.” (WW, 4/7/1867) And we can’t obey God without revelation. “The Lord is building up Zion, and is emptying the earth of wickedness, gathering his people, bringing again Zion.... Can this be done without revelation? No. You will not make a move, or do anything—plant corn, build a hall or a temple, make a farm, or go to the States—no, not a thing towards building up Zion, without the power of revelation.“ (BY, 7/28/61) “Do you want to know the true policy of building up Zion, and what is required of us as a people? I can give it to you. ...if we live every day of our lives so as to possess the Spirit of the Lord, and are dictated in all our business transactions and in every move we make by the spirit of revelation, we should merit, and justly and righteously obtain greater blessings than we now possess. “ (BY, 4/8/67). Personal sanctification and obedience to revelation allows the group unity needed. Discuss this at BuildingZion.org © 2014 by Jesse Fisher

By David Johnson Maple Dell Scout Camp and the Utah National Parks Council would like to express their deepest appreciation to Blake Barney, Al Schellenberg, the Clyde Companies, InsideSales.com and its employees, and the George S. and Delores Dorè Eccles Foundation for their terrific and very generous contributions of time, labor and donations to renovate and transform Maple Dell Scout Camp’s lake, COPE, Zip line, and Nature teaching areas. Blake Barney, Al Schellenberg, and the Clyde Companies dredged the lake, reinforced and created new banks and swimming areas, and transformed the lake into a sandy beach resort. Their work vastly increased not only the capacity of the swimming and instructing areas, but also made them exciting and fun for everyone to swim in. InsideSales. com donated lots of large, climb-on inflatables for swimmers to play on, as well as beautified the beach’s perimeter. In addition, Inside Sales’ also built a phenomenal High COPE/Ropes Course and Zip Lines across the lake. InsideSales.com employees came to camp and re-painted and repaired many buildings and the main amphitheater. The George S. and Delores Dorè Eccles Foundation built a new Nature Center in camp that provides both inside and outside classrooms for teaching nature-related merit badges and classes. Maple Dell Scout Camp, open yearround, is located up Payson Canyon on the scenic Mt. Nebo Loop, and is the premiere Scout Camp in Utah. Established

Utah Elks Host Little Warriors Springville & Payson FFA Tour at Camp Wapiti Utah By Robert D. Pagnani By Caitlin Dinkel The Springville and Payson FFA chapters joined together July 14 & 15 for a one of a kind summer ag tour. Students from both local FFA chapters had the opportunity to tour many interesting and unique places while on this tour. On the 14th, students visited Loveland Living Planet Aquarium, to learn more about the wonders of aquaculture; they also explored Animals Inside Out, which was hosted by The Leonardo in Salt Lake City. On this tour they were able to view up close all the components that make up not only animals, but humans as well. The final tour of the day was the Salt Lake Temple Square gardens, where FFA
members were taught about all the work that goes into making Temple Square the beautiful place that it is. On the second day, students were able to first watch a pig be harvested and prepared for consumption, and then toured the Utah State Equine facilities, in order to learn more about the opportunities the college offers for students interested in equine or veterinary sciences. The final stop of the tour was Hoffman AI, where they were taught about artificial insemination, a way of breeding animals that is safer for everyone involved. This trip was a great opportunity for members to learn more about many different options for employment in the agricultural industry, and to get to know fellow FFA members better!

United Flying Octogenarians landed at the Spanish Fork airport to visit the area and go have lunch. From left to right Russ Roberts, Don Davies, Dan Pantone, and Ralph Cravens.
UFO’s land in Spanish Fork By Russ Roberts The United Flying Octogenarians (UFOs) organization was started in 1982 by a group of about 25 aviators over the age of 80. As spelled out in the charter, the purpose is to promote longevity and safety in aviation; represent the interests of senior pilots worldwide; to inspire youth to fly; and to promote fellowship among members of the United Flying Octogenarians. Presently there are over 1500 members worldwide. While many members are no longer flying, every member met the qualifying requirement that they had been the pilot in command of an aircraft after their 80th birthday. There are presently nine UFO members in Utah. Over the past few years these members have scheduled luncheon meetings in St. George, Cedar City, and recently, at the Spanish Fork Airport. With a little math, it can be seen that this group of aviators were either teenagers
during World War II or veterans of that war. Several were also veterans of the Korean War. All share a common experience of a lifetime of flying experiences, both civilian and military. Aside from the flying experiences Utah members represent a wide variety of careers including the military, engineering, aerospace, airlines and medicine. On July 22, three members flew their aircraft into Spanish Fork Airport, meeting a fourth local member there, for an informal meeting and a lunch which was generously sponsored by Diamond Flight Center. As stated above, the qualifying requirement is to have acted as Pilot in Command of an aircraft after the 80th birthday. Anyone meeting that qualification desiring to join the UFOs should contact the Secretary/Treasurer: <bart_ bratko@hotmail.com>. Anyone interested can examine the UFO webpage www. UFOPILOTS.org.
The first Little Warriors Camp at the Utah Elks Camp Wapiti in Tooele, Utah was held July 19th and 20th. There are none who have given as much as the families of the fallen; children and parents of fallen Warriors who have lost their life in battle or by suicide after returning from combat. In collaboration with the Utah Elks Association, Hand in Hand and American Heroes, more than two dozen children and their families went to the camp for a weekend retreat. The main goal of everyone was the hopes that there could be some healing for these families and to show them that they are not forgot for their sacrifice. An event of this magnitude requires diverse community of volunteers to be successful and they came throughout the state to make it happen; the Utah National Guard brought BB gun range, medical staff from Dugway Proving Ground, meals
purchased by Kiwanis of Tooele, Arts and Crafts by Home Depot of Tooele and lots and swimming at the camp to name a few of the events. Robert Pagnani Utah Elks Veterans Chairman hope that this will become an annual event in cooperation and made possible due to the generosity and dedication to service from the Utah Elks Association and many other organizations. Events like this “Little Warriors Camp” and others we host can only provide a day or two away from the stress and anxiety that losing a father, son, daughter or mom must surely create, but it is our way of trying as we strive to make this a better community for all of us to live in and remind these incredible families that we will never forget them and the great price they have paid for the price of freedom. Elks will always remember “As long as there are Veterans the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them”

Main Street in Spanish Fork across from the Fairgrounds (801) 7981967. The celebration will feature a free lunch served from Noon to 2 p.m., tours every 15 minutes until 5 p.m., balloons and candy for the kids, drawings for two $50 Maceys Gift Cards, plus $10 will be given away every 10 minutes starting at 12 Noon and ending at 5 p.m. in honor of the businesses 10th Anniversary. “It has been quite the journey getting to where we are today with our family owned and operated business. As a husband and father it has been wonderful to work alongside my wife and sons and build something substantial that we can all be proud of in a city where are roots are”, stated Cary Robarge, President of Robarge Collision. Cary a third generation native of Spanish Fork wanted to not only establish a successful business, he wanted to build a heritage for his family, a legacy that would continue for his children and hopefully their children. Cary began his journey to where he is today by working on cars as a boy back when his father bought him a 1954 Chevy. His interest grew and he enrolled in the Auto Body class at Spanish Fork High School where he and all his children have graduated from. Striving for perfection has paid off for the Robarge family, seeing the business grow from less than 25 customers their first month to thousands of satisfied customers today, many of them repeat customers who refer others to the business. “We make sure every day that we live up to our slogan, Exceptional Care, Collision Repair”, said Robarge. With regular family corporate meetings with their sons Garrett, who is the General Manager of the business, Gavin who is a Body Technician, and Jonathan who works in the Parts Department, the family makes sure the business stays on track, which includes making sure their loyal employees that have been with them since they first opened their doors continue to thrive in the best possible work environment. “It means a lot to both Cary and I that we don’t have much turnover with our employees and that we constantly receive calls from people

Through networking and expanding his print advertising Cary has found relationships and even partnerships with his business being promoted at various business locations, keeping his Exceptional Care, Collision Repair brand in the public eye and mind. Not for the public but for the single mother is what the Robarge family focuses on each year around Christmas time. “I found that the more we gave back to the community the more success the business experienced, but more than that, it just felt right and felt good to donate as we could, to give back. So with that in mind I talked to other businesses and they joined with our business to gift a car full of Christmas presents to a selected, most deserving, in need single mother”, said Robarge. Building a successful business together and making memories that will last a lifetime means more than words can say to the Robarge family. They look forward to the next 15 years and then celebrating another business milestone, between now and then they will continue to do what they do, working for perfection, giving back to the community and providing Exceptional Care, Collision Repair.

illiam Chase Harrison was born in London, England on September 29, 1852. He was the son of William Harrison and Esther Porter Harrison. His mother died when he was just nine months old. In January of 1856, he sailed on the ship Caravan with his father and two sisters and 454 other Saints for America. They lived in several places while trying to earn enough to get to Zion. One day his father went into town to get some food, but he came running home saying, “Hannah here comes the last boat of the season. It leaves at 6 o’clock for Omaha. You Pack a few things while I go see the captain.” The captain said, “Yes sir, you can go, not for money, but for work; I am short of men. But no women or children can go on this boat because we carry the Union Flag. The enemy is trailing us, and we may go down any minute.” Just how Mr. Harrison managed to get the family on the ship, no one ever knew. But they all got to go and they took with them very few supplies. On the ship, Mr. Harrison and his son was talking to one of the engineers and William was standing nearby. As the ship rounded a bend a shot was fired from an unknown source. The cannon ball, 5 1/2

He kept it and brought it across the plains to Utah. He later settled in Payson, where he died in January of 1936. The cannon ball was donated to the D.U.P.

Angie’s Story of HOPE By Brent Crane Angie was born and raised in Utah County. To say that her childhood was a loving, supportive environment would be a stretch by anyone’s standards. Her parents were barely able to care for even her basic needs. Her father was a drug addict and her mother a severe alcoholic. As a result, their employment was unsteady and although they were able to maintain housing, more often than not, their utilities were shut off for non-payment and food was scarce. The family often resorted to a 5-gallon bucket in the backyard as their bathroom. Angie’s few positive childhood experiences were found in days spent with her siblings, friends, and neighbors. Despite the childhood challenges and uncertainties, she made it through her formative years and attempted to escape home and find a better future. To that end, she and her sister Caroline packed up their belongings and decided to hop on a train and see what else the world could offer. Angie was 11 years old and her sister Caroline was 13 when they left home. Remarkably, for nearly seven years they managed to evade Child Protective Services and other institutions that could have offered a safety net, mostly because they looked older than they were. A rough childhood had not only aged them physically, but also toughened them up to a world that would at times be kind, and at other times, cruel. At the ages of 17 and 19, Angie and Caroline returned to Utah County, bringing with them the emotional baggage of a life on the road. Angie became addicted to meth in the year prior while her sister had been struggling with alcohol for a few years. People were beginning to notice them now, but it wasn’t the kind of attention they wanted. Run-ins with the police became more frequent as did short-term stints in the Utah County Jail and brief stays on friends’ couches. By their early 30’s, both Angie and Caroline had managed to marry and have children. They frequented welfare services for aid and the Food & Care Coalition for services. As a young child, public empathy would have been her ally. As a teenage drug addict, that em-
pathy had started to turn to mistrust. By the time she was a 33-year-old, drug-addicted mother of five, any empathy from society had completely faded. It is never an easy road out of poverty and Angie struggled with her past failings, heart-wrenching childhood, and a loss of hope for her future. For Angie, rock bottom occurred when she began reflecting on the five children she was raising and more particularly, the realization that her youngest child was venturing into a life of addiction herself. She later told us – “this was the turning point in my life. I knew the road I had traveled and I was horrified by looking into the mirror that was now my child”. She simply could not let addiction ravage one more generation of her family. Angie began searching within her soul to find a way out. She determined that she had to be the agent of change for her family. Angie stopped using drugs and used community support groups to help combat her addiction. After she got clean, she came into our dental clinic and received dentures. She later admitted, “I had to relearn how to smile.” She had compensated her “meth mouth” by speaking with little movement of her lips, rarely revealing the damage that drugs had done to her teeth. Amazingly, just three weeks after getting her new teeth she was able to obtain full-time employment– something that had eluded her for the past two years. Angie has since maintained her own home, while teaching her children that addiction and poverty do not have to be generational. Angie attended school at the local community college and has broken the cycle of addiction in her family. Angie’s sister Caroline has also thrived. Despite a developmental disability and having spent years as a non-functional alcoholic, she too made a remarkable transformation. If Angie and Caroline can do it, then anyone can. As a society, we have to be more aware, we have to be more tolerant, and we have to reach out when we see someone in need of a lifeline. But most of all, we need to love our fellow travelers on this Earth as our Father in Heaven does and see the limitless potential we all possess, if given the chance. (Name’s have been changed, but this is a true account)
The lake at Camp Maple Dell after the 2014 renovations and lake draglining.
A Labor of Love for Camp Maple Dell Camp Maple Dell is a wonderful camp that provides great scouting opportunities to many Boy Scouts each summer. The lake at the camp has been used for swimming, canoeing, and the ever beloved boat wars at the end of the week. However, over the last few years the lake was overtaken by “cat tails” and part of the lake became useless, full of snakes, and other unsafe conditions. And now for a little history. Initially, the lake was created by W.W. Clyde by pushing the dirt out of its place with bulldozers in the 1950’s. After roughly 20 years, Dale Barney, was asked to dredge out the lake in 1977. Rod and Keith Barney of Barney Inc. drag-lined the lake again in 1989. (The Barney family has been running Draglines in Utah County for over 60 years.) For those that don’t know what a Dragline is, its a crane that can cast a bucket up to 150 feet away, slams down into the mud/sludge, and then is pulled towards the base filling a two yard bucket full of mud and debris. (A standard trackhoe has a 30 foot reach.) Fastforward about 20 years and the
swimming pool was removed in 2008 because it had a crack in the concrete. The lake, as mentioned above had became overrun with cat tails, and so the scouts didn’t have a clean place to swim. Come January of 2014, Blake Barney recognized there was a need and felt the need to head up an effort to create a great place for the scouts to swim. Using the Dragline Crane and dumptrucks they removed around 7,500 yards of mud/debris. (About 500 dump trucks at 15 yards per dump truck.) For about four months, Barney, Clyde Co., Sunroc, InsideSales. com of Provo and others donated much time, money, and efforts to revamp the lake. Sunroc donated sand and rock to make a nice beach, using filter fabric to help prevent unwanted vegatation. Inside Sales purchased a nice dock and water toys for the scouts to play on as well as a ropes course. Serve Daily would like to THANK ALL of the many community volunteers and companies that through the kindness of their own hearts chose to do something about the condition at Camp Maple Dell.

Lyle Hadlock, local pianist shares story By Lyle Hadlock I have a great love of music and sharing it with others. It all started, as a little boy of three years, when I use to stand by the piano and listen to my mother play all of the old standards dance songs from the turn of the last century. Springtime in the Rockies, and My Wild Irish Rose, just to name a couple. I became familiar with the catchy melodies and started picking them out with one finger on the piano, or playing along with mom on the top hand as she was playing a ragtime sort of style that was her own. Very soon, I started learning to play with a rudimentary bottom hand to accompany my right handed melodies and then everything sort of evolved from there, as my ear matured and developed. Over the years, I went on to mimic the piano playing style of my mother Reta Hadlock, that was very much loved and danced to by thousands of people over the many decades that mom had her little band. My brother Leo, four years my senior, when entering Jr. Highschool, wanted to play the clarinet in 7th grade band. He
dropped out of band halfway through the school year. The clarinet sat on the shelf at home. When I was about to enter Jr. Highschool, five years later, I wanted to learn to play it. So I started playing the clarinet and two years later picked up the Tenor Saxophone as well. After starting to play the Sax, I began sitting in with my mom’s little dance combo playing the same melodies on these instruments in live dance situations that I had been playing on the piano at age three. These Jr. High and High School years would become my training ground and foundation for many years to come. I enlisted in the Marines and became a bandsman. I was getting paid to play the clarinet, saxophone and piano, three things that I really loved. Later on, I became mom’s occasional substitute on the piano in her combo and later after her death the official piano player of her band for a seven year stint. Music is an inherent part of my life. It has bought me much satisfaction in being able to bless others lives with something that has been so much a part of me for 50 years.

An overview of the last six months & a call out for a new Restaurant Reviewer
By Kaye Nelson
Keeping a Positive Spin on Food Reviews
S
ome people have asked why I’m not negative in my food reviews and say I don’t give an accurate picture of a restaurant’s fare if I don’t find some fault. I disagree. There is enough negativity in the world today. When I review a restaurant I focus on the good, just like I do in life. I believe there is more good than bad in the world. I believe you can find happiness and goodness in many places. Portraying what is wrong with food, people, politicians, taxes, whatever, starts a process of contagious negativity and complaining. I like Chris Baird’s premise for this newspaper – he challenges readers to continually lift and help others. You can’t do that by pointing out the bad. Hence, I have given you the good as I’ve reviewed restaurants over the past two years. In the past six months we’ve eaten at some tasty places from Springville to Santaquin. The food scene in south Utah Valley is thriving and inviting. Some restaurants have weathered hard times and stayed put for many years; others are fairly new but hoping for longevity. In February we found Fat Jacks to be worth the drive to Payson from anywhere in the valley. Once you’ve tasted Fat Jack’s cheesestix the memory takes up residence in your brain. The thick, soft dough is heaped with cheese that comes out hot and melty and the Western Stix are topped with bacon, tomatoes, onions and green peppers. I will probably sleep walk to Payson sometime in search of those cheesestix. “It’s like a burst of flavors in your mouth!” exclaimed Jera Parker, biting into the Western kind. They are really just a simple pizza without the sauce. But the chefs do something magical in the kitchen that makes a memorable taste from bite one. There were no leftovers of those. Nada. March found us right next door to Fat Jacks at Dalton’s in Payson - delightful fine dining without the sticker shock. One of our sides was mashed sweet potatoes. Get them. “I could eat a whole plate of these sweet potatoes,” Julie remarked. They tasted like Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole – creamy with a crunchy, sweet topping. We asked our server Zach several times if dishes had butter or cream. His response was always, “wholesome goodness and love.” We didn’t push it. Sometimes it’s best not to know. In April we visited Joe Bandidos in Springville. It’s been around for years
and it’s easy to understand why. Stacy, our server, told us the most popular item is “El Bandido” – a soft, flaky flour tortilla “blanketed” with layers of goodness and broiled under cheeses. John Bennion opted for this dish. He was pleased with every aspect from the bottom to the top. “The flour tortilla underneath is flaky and delicious, I’m sure it’s homemade,” he said. He added that the shredded beef was tasty and tender. I agree, I sneaked a bite and it was flavorful and moist. The HuHot in Spanish Fork in May was food and fun rolled into one memorable dining experience. The cooking part is sheer minutes of entertainment. The large flat grill accommodates many dinners and the chefs keep orders straight, handing out steaming bowls of hot deliciousness very quickly. How hot? HuHot! “Watching them cook it makes you anticipate it more,” Rona Jurgens said. Jera Parker agreed. “It’s part of the experience,” she said. “You stand there salivating, waiting for the end of the cooking process.” After trying her first combination she happily noted, “the flavors blend and burst all at once.” In June readers got a rundown of places for cold, creamy goodness from Springville to Santaquin. They are plentiful, especially in the summer. With food truck roundups hitting the local scene we wanted to share our observations of the Spanish Fork roundup. Dave Allen owns Dawgs & More. We ordered the Mesquite Chicken Veggie and the Avocado Mango Salsa Dawg. I’ve drooled in my sleep remembering both. Karla Bennion was lucky enough to taste the chicken un-sandwich in a cup. “It has a nice blend of chicken and coleslaw,” Karla said. “And a few hot peppers in it!” We each tried a bite but I finished it off when others weren’t looking. And I’d do it again. Our other choice was just as lip smacking. “Mango and avocado should be friends more often,” John said. Indeed. Those flavors meld together over the allmeat dog on a soft yet crusty bun. I love to eat. I love to write. So writing restaurant reviews for the past few years has been literally and figuratively fulfilling. Sadly, I need to move on and hand over restaurant reviews for Serve Daily to someone else. Let Chris Baird know if you are interested in writing food reviews – it’s a pretty sweet deal.
A wonderful blend of flavors awaits in an Avocado Mango Salsa Dawg.
“Fat Jack’s cheesestix are made of thick, soft dough heaped with cheese that comes out hot and melty.”
Kaye Nelson, restaurant reviewer, grew up in Springville and is a true Red Devil. She knows good food and pays attention when restaurants entice customers with something out of the ordinary.
Tips for writing Food Reviews 1. Use adjectives. It doesn’t pique a reader’s interst to say, “The food was good.” 2. Quote people. It lends variety to have people speak about the food rather than the reviewer talking about every item. 3. Be succinct but give enough detail. 4. Take quality photos to accompany your story. Make sure there is good lighting and pictures are in focus. 5. Have FUN!

Genealogical Gems By Ginny Ackerson

Archives & Special Collections
A
rchives and Special collections can be absolute treasure troves for genealogists. Archives are collections of historical documents or records providing information about a place, institution, or group of people. Special collections have characteristics that set them apart from other types of collections in libraries or archives. The University of Maryland states these special aspects may include: Rarity: books, manuscripts and other materials that are old, scarce or unique. Format: photographs, slides, films, audio recordings, maps, artworks, artifacts and other objects that need special handling. Comprehensiveness: accumulation of materials that individually are not unique, but collectively make up an important resource because of their relevance to a particular topic or individual. These characteristics also mean that special collections are not readily replaceable and require a higher level of security and special preservation environments to insure their survival. In contrast to museum collections assembled for visual display, special collections focus on research as their primary mission. Thus, they complement general research collections and are often located in institutions that house both kinds of collections. Special collections can be housed in Universities, public libraries, genealogical and historical societies, family histo-
sonal. If you missed this year’s performance, circle your calendar for sometime near the end of July next year. Plan to get your family together with blankets, camp chairs, and some spare change to buy a CD from one of the groups, or to enjoy some delicious food from one of the vendors, Plan to go early, and stay around for a few minutes after to get to know some of the dancers and a craft vendor or two.
ry centers and museums. The University of Utah houses collections on Middle East records and the DUP library in Salt Lake City has information on the pioneers. BYU is indexing their collection of emigration registers and creating a wonderful database called the Immigrant Ancestors Project that can be accessed on the internet. BYU also has the Mormon Migration Project where you can read journals, autobiographies and see images of your immigrant ancestors. Springville Historical Society has a collection of historic Springville newspapers. Payson has several wonderful collections in the Peteetneet Museum concerning the early settlers of the area. The Spanish Fork FHC has an extensive collection on the Icelanders who settled there. If you have South Sea Island ancestry, the Provo Sunset FHC has a permanent and growing collection from that area. Local public libraries also house valuable collections. Many have vertical files on area families containing collections of journals, obituaries, newspaper clippings, family group sheets, books and other items donated by the families themselves. Many times there are area wide collections of books relating to the history and settlers of the locale. Libraries also have data bases pertinent to the vicinity and very often have subscriptions to websites with regional information. PaysonSCityS#STheSPaysonSChamberSofSCommerceSPresents

Payson Scottish Festival provides fun for community By Shauna Phelps This year the Payson Scottish Festival celebrated its 31st year as an organized non-profit corporation. PSFA was organized under the direction of Don Lankford as the first Chairman in 1983 in preparation for their first games in August 1984 which were held in connection with Payson’s Onion Days with the help of Helen Scott who later became the Chairman from 1986 to 2000. The festival has been bringing fun and entertainment to Payson and Utah County residents since its inception. The event began this year on Friday evening, July 11th with entertainment in the park from 6:30 – 9:30 pm. The featured performing artists this year was Men of Worth, giving performances on both Friday and Saturday. There was an early morning 5K run before the main event began at 9 am on Saturday. The competitions began after a parade on Main Street where the Chief-
tain of the past two years, Mike Findlay, passed his duties on to the new Chieftain, Bob Gallimore, who then officially opened the games. Dancers, pipes and bands, and athletes competed throughout the day, pleasing the crowds who watched the events unfold. There were a number of new merchant vendors and clan booths that joined us this year. The clans offered history and genealogical expertise for those interested. The food vendors kept the crowd fed and hydrated with enticing victuals. The event ended after all the competitions were final on the Athletic Field at 5pm. After the Flowers of the Forest (folks who have recently passed on) were read, the bands played Flower of Scotland and Amazing Grace. The winners of the Pipes and Bands competitions were announced. The bands played a final number and the games ended. Everyone was tired and satisfied from a fun-filled day of all things Scottish. Join us next year on July 10 & 11, 2015 for the best family fun around.

een target books aren’t my usual read. If the main character is underage I find I’m impatient with their “growth and development” and just want to send them to their room for a timeout. I am however a fan of fairy tale retells, so I picked up this novel by firsttime author Lauren Skidmore. I liked it – in the category of romantic escape lit. If you need to take a summer vacation from Dostoyevsky and Chaucer, I’d recommend “What is Hidden”. You can read it on the porch as you sip lemonade, and even share it safely with a teen or a grandma since it has nothing objectionable for those readers. “What is Hidden” is a Cinderella story set in the imaginary city of Venesia. It feels like ancient Venice with a bit of fantasy sprinkled on top. There are canals, courtesans, craftsman and of course masks. Venetians wore masks during carnival in Renaissance times and although they declined in use, tourists still associate Venice with masks. Author Lauren Skidmore commented, “I got the idea from the metaphorical masks we all wear, and how we act accordingly. I wanted to write about those moments we take off the masks. Sometimes these masks prevent us from finding happiness, but removing them can be terrifying because while some people can accept us as we are, some can’t. “I’ve always thought the Venetian style masks were beautiful, and creating a setting inspired by those masks was a lot of fun. It was great to be able to watch videos online to learn about glass throwing and traditional mask making. I also love fairy tales and old stories made new, and since Cinderella’s ball fit in perfectly with my masked world, it just made sense to me.”
Be sure to put these on your calendar!
By Lauren Skidmore
In Venesia, masks are never taken off in public. Citizens are identified by rank and occupation according to their mask. For example, the main character Evie wears a green mask as an artisan and mask maker. Guards for the royal family wear plain silver masks. When a dangerous criminal known as the Chameleon attacks Evie he not only tears away her mask but he also brands her face with his mark which could incriminate her if it is discovered. The Chameleon burns down the family shop and kills her father. Evie is forced to flee and hide as a servant in the royal palace. “I would hide, and I would fend for myself, and I would do it on my own. I took a deep breath, steeling myself as I gazed up at the imposing gates of the palace.” “The trick was to look like I belonged. The problem was I clearly did not. I picked at my skirt, trying to concoct an excuse for my dress. The servant’s silver mask was on my face, and it felt suffocating being unable to breathe deeply beneath the veil. At least my wound was completely covered.” Can you see where this is going? There is no glass slipper in this Cinderella tale but there is a glass mask and a handsome prince who must choose his future queen at the ball. Available at Cedar Fort and Amazon.

Orchard Days
SERVE DAILY Continued from page 1
make Orchard Days possible this year. It is a lot of work to put on a production like this for our community and some question why we do such a grand event for so many year after year. We know community unity is important for a town
to grow and help its citizens feel safe and connected to each other. Events like Orchard Days brings us together and helps make Santaquin a better place and home for us all. We hope to continue to provide events like it for more years to come.
An introduction to Steve Gray, Photographer Hi, my name is Steve Gray. I grew up in Mapleton, Utah and currently live in Santaquin. I work for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources full-time, and do photography and graphic arts part-time. I got into photography about 5 years ago and absolutely love it! It is my passion. I love capturing moments in time that people will cherish for years. I love captur-
ing the emotion of people, and the little details that go unrecognized until they see the photograph. I am grateful every day for the many wonderful people I meet taking photos. They let a part of their life into mine, and I hope I capture who they are. I hope you enjoy my photos, and I thank you for your continued support.
