Pablo Pica sso once said , “Ever y child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” Sometimes, when artistic opportunities are reintroduced to adults, they describe having new and fresh experiences, even “a second childhood” of exploration and creativity. But some people have never had the opportunity to “be an artist” and, as an adult, may be introduced to the fine arts for the first time. On April 3rd, the Spanish Fork business com mu n it y came out i n force to welcome t he ope n i ng of T U R N

Fresh Market and Maceys with the help of our Pepsi and Frito vendors combined to sponsor the BBQ fund-raiser for Officer Sherwood. With our team member’s help we were able to feed almost 600 individuals who generously donated almost $2000 to Off icer Sher wood. Ou r stores share a responsibility to our community and the law enforcement officers who keep us safe. We were honored to be able to be a part of the fundraiser.

Pat believes that the more we value and have high expectations for the people served by TURN, and the more personal control that we can give them, the greater will be their life satisfaction and their willingness to try new things. Kandice Allred is the Program Coordinator at the new Spanish Fork Center. “Families have been saying that their family members at the Center have been coming home so much happier”, says Kandice. “The arts program has truly enriched their life.

Preparing Young People to Reject Pornography By Vauna Davis W hat wou ld you r ch ild say to a friend who suggested that they search for the word “sex” on YouTube? Many children would do as one sweet 9-year old girl did recently, who joined her friend to see what would come up. It took a few weeks for her family to learn about the degrading pornography that these girls had been watching together. Words cannot describe the despair these parents endured as they became aware. As her mother noted, “Beyond the fact that these girls have seen porn, they still both believe in Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny and The Tooth Fairy!” This doesn’t have to happen to our children if we take steps to prepare them to reject pornography. W hy should parents tell child ren about such a disturbing subject? Think of it this way: parents don’t wait until a child is hit by a car to teach them to stay out of the street. Just as ch ild ren a re t aug ht to wal k safely on the sidewalk, children need to be taught to recognize and avoid pornography before they ever encounter it and experience negative consequences. Children who are prepared will be able to react to pornography by thinking, “My parents told me about this and why it is wrong. I know what to do – I will turn away from this and talk to my parents.” Unfortunately, children who are suddenly exposed without any warning could be more likely to continue viewing, be ashamed to tell parents, and even be drawn to secretly search for more. Naturally, most parents are reluctant to talk to children about pornography. The biggest worry for parents is that talking about pornography will create
curiosity and cause children to go look for it. However, we must recognize the disturbing reality that explicit sexual media is easily available from many sources, and we cannot control when children may encounter it. Avoiding this subject leaves children unprepared and vulnerable. Therapist Anne Brown teaches that we don’t want to give kids just enough information to create curiosity without all the knowledge they need to be completely prepared. It may be a paradox, but in order to protect children’s innocence, we must prepare them to turn away from pornography before they are exposed to it. So what is a parent to do? You have the power to help you r family! Follow these steps with each of your children. 1. Teach kids what pornography is in age-appropriate ways. 2. Help kids understand what the harmful effects of pornography are. 3. Practice with your family what to do if they see pornography. 4. Use parental controls on all Internet-enabled devices. 5. Follow up with your kids: • Check in regularly. Ask, “Have you seen pornography since the last time we talked?” • L o o k fo r o p p o r t u n i t i e s t o praise them for good decisions – for example, when they tell you about problems or speak up to their friends. • Com mit to helping them get back on track when they have seen it. If you have a group of people who would like to discuss more about how to follow these steps, contact Vauna Davis at vauna.davis@utahcoalition to schedule a free presentation.

STAMP OUT HUNGER MAY 10th By Leslie Nielsen
Letter carriers walk through your c o m mu n it y e ve r y d ay, ke e pi n g a wat ch f u l eye on t hei r c u s t ome r s. Sadly, they often come face to face with a common reality--hunger. So, each year on the second Saturday in May, letter carriers across the country collect non-perishable food donations to go directly to the local food bank. Last year, we collected over 74 million pounds of food nationally,feeding an estimated 30 million people.Over the course of its 21-year history, the food drive has collected well over a BILLION pounds of food! T he need for donat ions is g reat. C u r r e nt ly, 49 m i l l io n A m e r ic a n s are unsure of where their next meal is coming from.They could be your friends, your neighbors,your co-workers. Sixteen million are children, and nearly 5 million are seniors over age
sixty who are too embarrassed to ask for help. Local food pa nt r ies help bridge the gap for those who are “food insecure”, or just need some help until their next paycheck. W hat a difference it could make in someone’s life to provide a box of food to get through a rough time. T he t i m i ng of ou r food d r ive is crucial.Food banks often receive the bul k of thei r donations arou nd the holidays, and by Spring their shelves are depleted, entering summer months when many school lunch programs are not available. Par ticipating in the food drive is easy! Just leave a bag of non-perishable food items by your mailbox on May 10th, and your letter carrier will pick it up. You may also bring donations to you r local post off ice. All donations are delivered to the local Food and Care coalition for distribution to needy families.
Together, we can STAMP OUT HUNGER! Re m e m b e r t h a t yo u r wo r d s h a ve p owe r. B e K i n d . S e r ve .

LIBERTY SHALL BE MAINTAINED
Understanding Liberty By Casey Beres
Solution to America’s Over-Legislation and Over-Criminalization
Last month we explored over-legislation and over-criminalization in A mer ica and their adverse affects. This month, we will investigate a solution to these problems. As part of the solution, we will also examine what law actually is, what true crime is, and what rights are. T he solut ion to t he problem s of over-legislation and over-criminalization and the unjust effects that result is relatively simple. The solution is merely to stop making so many laws, to stop making anything and everything a crime, and to educate one’s self on what rights are. In addition, what laws we do make should be written in the common vernacular, explained using words even the most uneducated person could understand. In order to do these things, we must first look at what law actually is, what its purpose is, what a true crime is and is not, and what one’s rights actually are. First, what is law and what is its purpose? Laws are eternal truths, eternal patterns if you will, which may at times be overridden by higher laws, but which are never destroyed. They may be discovered and abided by, but never destroyed. Such eternal laws are the laws of justice and mercy, neither robbing the other; the sanctity of life, liberty, and property, all of which are required to pursue one’s happiness; the law of gravity, which may be overridden by the laws of aerodynamics, etc. And then there are human laws, which may do nothing but reaffirm the laws of nat ure. These laws of nat ure are eternal truths that we can observe and discover via reason, logic, and observation. And man’s laws simply state these laws of nature as being applicable to a particular society who agree to live under them, attaching certain punishments equal to the crime of violating certain of these natural laws. One such example of a man made law that reaffirms a law of nature is the law against murder, which carries a punishment or consequence affixed to it for the safety of society and all the individuals who compose it. What of the purposes of man-made laws and government? The Levellers, John Locke, and the Founding Fathers, who were inf luenced heavily by the former two, all believed that the end of government and laws is to protect the rights, liberty, and property of all individuals agreeing to live in that society, and to bring to justice the violators of those rights. They believed that laws, in order to be considered a law, must be in herently just, and that any unjust law is no law to begin with. Thus, any laws that violate the rights, liberty, or property of individuals in that society without due process (meaning a jury trial proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the individual is guilty of the crime and thus should be punished) are inherently unjust, and are not in fact laws. Consider again the law prohibiting and punishing murder.
It’s an eternal truth that each person born on earth has a right to not have his life unjustly taken. Thus, the law against murder is merely a reaffirmation of this natural truth and law, and thus protects the right of men to live. Therefore, such a law is just and therefore truly a law, fitting the express and sole purpose of law and government. Man cannot create or destroy the laws of nature. He can only observe, discover, and live by them. Because of this, man cannot actually create new laws. Just because a legislature passes legislation doesn’t mean it is law. The legislation must have the purpose of securing to each and every individual, equally, his/her equal rights, equal liberty, and his/her honestly and justly acqui red proper t y. T he legislat ion must not unjustly violate the rights of individuals. It can also punish crime, meaning the intentional violation of the rights of another person. If the legislation meets these requirements, it is just, and is therefore a law. As soon as it becomes unjust in anyway by violating the rights and property of individuals, it ceases to be law, and is of no force or effect. Fi nally, what is a r ig ht? A r ig ht is anything that a person my think, believe, or do that does not violate the equal rights of another human being. It should also be remembered that every r ig ht ha s a cor respond i ng dut y or responsibility inseparably connected to it, in the very least the responsibility of ensuring the protection of the same right to all other people. Hav i ng a bet ter idea of law a nd its pur pose, what tr ue crime is, and what rights are, the solution to America’s problem of over-legislation and over-criminalization is simple: reduce the laws of a cit y, count y, state, or nation, by looking at all the laws on the books and determining whether the laws are actually laws, meaning they are inherently just because they protect the rights, liberty, and property of all individuals equally, enhancing instead of restraining freedom. If any law goes against these things, then it must be taken off the law books and no longer be enforced. When passing a criminal law, stop and think, is this law punishing an actual crime, or just an action or belief I don’t like? Is the action actually criminal, meaning does it punish and prohibit an intentional action that actually violates the rights of others? If any of these requirements are missing, it is no crime, and therefore must not be passed by the legislature. A true crime is an actual, intentional action that harms the true rights of others, or the attempt thereof. We mu st st op m a k i ng laws a nd declaring actions to be crimes willy-nilly, based upon mere likes and disli kes. T h is alone will solve the problem of both over-legislation and over-criminalization. Everything else merely per pet u ates or a dd s to t he problem.

Payson’s Peteetneet 12th Annual Quilt Show By Dona Brian Peteet neet A r t s C o u n c i l h o s t s i t ’s 12th Annual Payson Peteet neet Quilt S h o w. T h i s y e a r ’s show is expected to be even bigger a nd better than in previous years. We have a great committee, and t hey a re excit ed t o announce some major changes and ovations for this years show. We have been k now for our show because we accept quilts based on their originality and design, and let all participants in the show vote to select a winner in each category during the show. We will continue to do that this year, but we have also decided to have judges also pick a winner in each category, and they will critique the quilts and list the specifics used to qualify the winners in each
of the categories. This year’s theme is “Binding the Generations.” A favorite category in our shows is the heirloom quilts. This year the heirlooms will not require an entry fee, but in lieu of that, we will request a story or history of the quilt, and it should be made prior to 1960 and hand quilted to qualify. We also have a free trunk show scheduled for June 28th at 1:00 pm with Laurel Christensen and family showing antique quilts from three generations of quilters. Other categories for the show will include hand quilted, machine quilted-applicued and pieced, baby, youth, and challenge quilts, and wall hangings and miscellaneous handiwork. T here is no ent r y fee for the challenge quilts because that was paid last year when you purchased your fabric at the show. Youth quilts will be charged a $3.00 entry fee and all other entries will be charged $7.00 Some very exciting classes are scheduled for Friday, June 27th and Saturday June 28th. For complete infor mation go to peteetneetquiltshow.wordpress. com. As in previous years we will also be tying baby quilts for the Mountainview Hospital and request volunteers to help host the show. Every year during the show we have so many people say they wished they had entered their quilts.
We urge you to get them ready and entered this year because you never know if you will ever have a better chance than here and now! We than k ou r com mit tee, the Peteet neet A r ts Council and our great sponsors for bringing us this great event. The dates of the quilt show will be June 20th to June 30th. Hours will be Mon. through Sat. from 10 am to 4 pm and Wed. from 10 am to 8 pm. Quilts must be entered on Tuesday, June 17th from 10 am to 8 pm and Wednesday, June 18th 10 am until noon.

Families of the Fallen Submitted by Steve Henline We gathered on the beautiful shores of Lake Powell to pay tribute to four families whose fathers and sons had given their life’s during service to our cou nt r y. The families of the fallen warriors came aboard f irst, perhaps f illed with some t repid at ion, none knew one another. None knew what to expect. T he big hou s eb oat wa s q u ick ly loaded with provisions for the adventure that was about to unfold before them. Gear safely stowed, the houseboat left her mooring place at Wahweap Marina and headed up the lake under the brilliant desert sun. Only the families of the fallen and the vessels captain were aboard. A small f lotilla of fishing and ski boats accompanied them on their three hour journey to the sandy beaches in Navajo canyon. The vistas are spectacular and soon all were on the top deck admiring some of the most beautiful scenery in North America. Sheer sandstone cliffs rose from the water’s edge. Each mile something new and marvelous to witness unfolded. T he boat secu rely a nchored , t he A N G c h a p l a i n of f e r e d a p r a y e r, beseeching Gods protection to those gathered together here under the sheer walls of this breathtaking canyon.
The next three days were filled with boating, fishing, jet skiing and all of the myriad of activities this magnificent lake can provide. Each morning the volunteers arrived, a small f lotilla of ski and fishing boats there only to share and thank these families for their sacrifice. For many of us, these were life changing moments. We mourned their loss, shared their tears and laughter and a new family was born at this gathering. Each night on the beach the families would build a bonfire with gathered driftwood and talk together about their common experiences and share their loss. It is our hope that this was a catharsis and will help them through their mour ning. To those of us who have never lost a child or a father in service can never understand their loss and emptiness. We can, however, hope that our efforts help even if in a small way will help. Amongst the volunteers were battle hardened wounded war riors, a militar y Chaplain, staff members from the Army’s Service to Survivors organization, an Outdoor television show host, Staff members of Hand in hand Outdoor’s American Heroes Project and others, all bound together to share our respect and love to those who have given so much and to assure them that their children and their fathers did not die in vain and will not be forgotten .

Awesome Deaf Martial Arts Instructor shares her story By Safarri Jessop I am a Mar tial Ar ts Instr uctor. I am also deaf. For 5 years I have been teaching Hapkido at Springville Self Defense and Leadership Academy. I am starting a project called “Deaf Hapkido” a fun class specifically for the deaf ! I want to help other deaf people lear n to protect themselves, improve self-confidence, and develop life changing skills. So, how d id a tot ally deaf teenage girl start on the path to multiple blackbelts? When my sister, Spring and I first started, we were the only hearing impaired students. She uses hear ing aids and reads lips, so she translated for me using sign language. Even with Spring conveying the teacher’s instructions as fast as her hands could sign, it was tough. Martial arts is demanding for anyone. In a class with hearing students, despite knowing what the teacher required, I could not hear what the students were saying to each other or what they were saying to me. I used my eyes as my ears and improvised. Hapkido, “the way of coordinated power,” is an eclectic style from Korea drawing techniques from many others, emphasizing improvisation. The famous movie star, Jackie Chan has a reputation for choreographing elaborate improvisational Kung-Fu scenes and his only blackbelt: Hapkido! I worked harder to f irst see, and then do, being aware of what was happening all around me, using my other senses to detect when someone is coming up from behind, even practicing blindfolded. When I couldn’t hear or see, I learned to feel. Spring and I trained for years and earned our black belts together. She moved on to other things while I continued mar tial ar ts on my ow n. It was a hard transition and I often felt left out, but I was more deter mined to succeed by watching and feeling even more than before. I had to perceive every little nuance: which core muscles to engage, how much pressure to apply, and when to breathe, develop enough skill to predict what came next. I u nderstood not on ly by reading body language and facial expression, but by feeling the energy. This increased my love of lear ning and teaching. Af ter ear ning my 2nd deg ree

blackbelt I star ted teaching hearing st udents. I caref ully and patiently d e mon s t r at e wh at t o d o a nd t hey u nd e r s t a nd w it hout a ny p r oble m . Teaching the deaf is different than the hearing because we learn differently— and must work harder. I understand, communicate well, and share a common bond with the deaf. I want Deaf Hapk ido to be a comfor table place where deaf people can reward themselves th rough hard work, lear ning techniques, building confidence, and overcoming challenges. Won Ji n (meaning “ t r uth”) Hap kido rests on t r uth, peace and harmony. It is the most efficient way to learn self-defense, yet has nothing to do with fighting. One must develop discipline, do what is right, and follow directions. Hapkido has enhanced my life! It reminds me to have faith, show love, forgive, and serve the Lord; qualities that extend beyond the classroom and into every aspect of life. Safarri is now training for her 3rd deg ree blackbelt i n Won Ji n Hap kido and holds a blackbelt in Haidong Gumdo, “the way of the sword.” To contact Safarri about “Deaf Hapkido” please email director@behapkido.com.

Spr ing ville High School’s ASA P Prevention Team hosted motivational speaker and illusionist, Brad Barton, to get the message across of how making good choices results in positive outcomes. Mr. Barton stressed the importance of taking ownership of your life. If we avoid harmful substances and get an education it gives us more freedom not less. The speaker pointed out college graduates are happier, live longer
and make a million dollars more over their lifetime than people who do not have a degree. We all have individual obstacles to overcome, but overcome them we can, to become champions. Bar ton overcame an abusive home life and learning disabilities to become a college honors g raduate, NCAA All-American and world record breaking athlete. Mr. Barton’s message helped accomplish ASAP’s mission to educate the students on prevention and mental health awareness.
o the pioneers nothing was so highly prized as wood, next to t he va lue of wat e r a nd fo o d . Wood wa s a necessit y for shelter, furnishings, transportation, and fuel. The pioneers first used the hardwood wagon boxes that were used to carry their belongings across the plains. The boxes were disassembled and used to ma ke f u r n it u re. Later lu mber was lauded and made into household furniture. Tables, benches, cradles, trundle beds, shelves, and the traditional fourposter with its rope springs, were fashioned. Straw and sometimes feather ticks served for mattresses. The corder bed in the picture was ow ned by George and Mar y Openshaw Curtis. This bed is in the D.U.P. Museum in the Payson City Center. George Cu r tis was bor n October 27, 1823 at Silver Lake, Michigan the son of Nahun and Milicent Waite Curtis. After the family joined the LDS Church, they traveled to Utah, arriving in Salt Lake Valley on October 7, 1848. George married Emma Whaley on October 30, 1850 in Salt Lake. they were the parents of eight children. The youngest died in infancy. Mary Oberhansley was the daughter of William and Ann Greenhalgh Oberha nsley. She was bor n Ma rch 25, 1839, at Brightmat Lanchashire England. The family joined the LDS Church on April 23, 1851. They left Liverpool on May 25, 1856 on the ship, “Horizon”. After arriving in Iowa they were assigned to Captain Martins Co. They suffered the many hardships of the Martin Handcart Co and arrived
in the Salt Lake Valley in the latter par t of November 1856. As soon as they were able, they went to Santaquin where they settled. A short time after arriving in Santaquin, Mar y went to Payson where she secured employment in the home of George Cur tis. She was eighteen years old when she became George’s se cond w i fe a nd h a d si x ch i ld re n together. Later, rather than deny his religious belief in plural marriage, or disown his second wife and family, he served a term of 60 days imprisonment. George was a farmer, a teacher, and he surveyed the first canal take from Spanish Fork River on the west side, laid out the county road between Spanish Fork and Payson, and located the Payson Cemetery. George was also a member of the building committee for the first Payson Tabernacle. George died Febr uar y 2, 1911 in Payson at t he age of 87 a nd Ma r y passed away on April 2, 1919 at the age of 80.

The Utah Valley University Rugby Club is a club sport. We are associated with the university so that we can compete against other regional colleges, but we are currently not a varsity sport or supported financially by the school for any of our costs. We are currently supported f inically by the club fees, fundraising drives, and out of our pockets. We need your help to suppor t the growing effort our boys have shown as they made the D1-AA championship that was on May 3rd and placed second. As we begin to raise funds to compete in a bigger championship next season we need to find a way to cover the cost of equipment, team uniforms, trips to and from events and even be
able to provide scholarships to recruit even more amazing talent. We are asking for any type of monetary support or supplies that you can provide to the rugby club and also if you feel that we should become a varsity sport at the University we ask that you sign our petition online so that we can have our voice heard. Thank you for all of those who aid in an old age spor t and allow us to play for team, for our club and for our country.

CENTRAL BANK JOINS ‘TEACH CHILDREN TO SAVE’ CAMPAIGN By Diana Hurren
During the month of April, Central Bank employees throughout the valley are partnering with local schools and youth organizations to help educate young people on the importance of saving. For example, President and CEO, Mat t Packard, and Mor tgage Off icer, Tyler Heaps, visited Sier ra Bonita Elementar y School in Spanish Fork on April 14 to teach more than 120 second-grade students about developing a savings habit early in life. “Being financially literate is one of the most important skills a young person can develop,” said Matt Packard. “Through this program we can motivate students and instill positive habits at a young age, creating a community of lifelong savers.” Central Bank offers the following tips for money-savvy parents raising money-smart kids: Set the example of a responsible money manager by paying bills on time, being a conscientious spender and an active saver. Child ren tend to emulate t hei r pa rent s’ personal finance habits. Talk openly about money with your kids. Communicate your values and experiences with money. Encourage
them to ask you questions, and be prepared to answer them – even the tough ones. Ex pla i n t he d i f fe r e nc e b et we e n needs and wants, the value of saving and budgeting and the consequences of not doing so. Open a savings accou nt for you r children and take them with you to m a ke d e p o sit s , s o t hey c a n le a r n how to be hands-on in their money management. Let friends and family know about your child’s savings goal. They’ll be more likely to give cash for special occasions, which means more trips to the bank. Engage you r com mu n it y. Ma ny schools, banks and community organizations share your commitment to creating a money-savvy generation. Engage a coalition of support to provide youth with the education they need to succeed. Apr il 11 marked the 18th an nual Teach Ch ild ren to Save Day. Central Bank actively participates in the American Bankers Association’s Teach C h i ld re n t o Save ca mpa ig n eve r y April. If you would like to schedule a time for a banker volunteer to help educate you r class or youth g roup, please contact your local Central Bank office or call 801-375-1000.

SHS Baseball grateful for donations By Greg Anderson
The Springville High School Red Devils have always had a rich baseball tradition. Coach Rich Fry has led the Red Devils for the past two seasons with the help of Willy Child, Alec Clements, Todd Oakey, Jake Bills, and Rob Montgomery. Each year the team holds a dinner/auction at the high school in order to raise funds to support the program. All of the money raised goes directly to the boys helping to pay for uniforms and fees. For the past two years, Magelby’s has donated the food which all attendees have enjoyed. Many businesses and residents in the community rally together to support the team. This year a new business entered Springville. Jimmie John’s, located at 40 E. 400 S. and led by Alex (owner and manager), not only donated $1,000 for a 6’ by 12’ banner that will hang on the baseball fence for 5 years, but they also graciously donated Jimmie John’s sandwiches and chips for a team night. Needless to say, the Red Devil baseball team loved it! Through generous donations like Jimmie John’s supporting the community, the Springville High School Red Devils baseball team continues to work hard improving baseball excellence in Utah County. Team members include: Jake Child, Willy D Child, Rhett Clarke, Ian Earley, Gregg Davis, Anthony Gray, Drew Remund, Miles Anderson, Gar rett Black, Chandler Cloward, Colby Hartman, Parker Johnston, Trevor Kinross, Travis Mosley, Scott Averett, Tyler Camara, Ammon Christensen, Zac Hales, Jake Holt, Bridger Kimber, Matt Peterson, Parker Riggs, Adam Rodriguez, Clayton Snider, and Ricky Garrido.

alph Waldo Emerson said, “Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.” In the case of HuHot, the chefs conspire to make your dinner happen. Nor mally I review items ordered from a menu. Those dishes are created by the restaurant and meet a standard of predictability in a good way, as in, you order it again because you know it’s delicious. Or someone has recommended it to you. At the HuHot, the dishes vary every time. And that’s where the excitement begins. Part of the fun is learning how to HuHot so I won’t spill those beans. Your server will give you the rundown or you can follow the “How to HuHot” card. Choices, choices, choices. Not a calamari fan? Don’t pick the squid. Beef lover? Lay it on. There are colorful veggie and soft cooked noodle choices too. You start at a menu board with 30 recipes that rotate f rom about 100, according to Alex Cousineau, manager. You don’t have to pick a recipe – they are just there for guidance. Get your bowl and start choosing. The sauce step is probably the most important because your choices will determine the f lavor you end up with. Too spicy? Your fault. Try again the next go around. Perfect? Great job! Remember what you did. “I like the depth of the black pepper sauce,” said Riley Nelson. It’s one of many sauce choices, not too mild, not too spicy. The cooking part is sheer minutes of entertainment. The large f lat grill accommodates many dinners and the chefs keep orders straight, handing out steaming bowls of hot deliciousness very quickly. How hot? HuHot! n “Watching them cook it makes you anticipate it more,” Rona Jurgens said. Jera Parker agreed. “It’s par t of the exper ience,” she said. “You stand there salivating, waiting for the end of the cooking process.” After trying her first combination she happily noted, “the f lavors dblend and burst all at once.” Rona evaluated her first bowl. d “I did the Thai peanut, garlic and oginger,” she said. “It’s ver y good. I -need to do more mild though.” e “TURN” from front page -have also resulted in a much calmer ,group of people. The clients are free -to express themselves rather than just .doing things the way they’re told. With rsome guidance, these individuals are echoosing projects, colors, mediums, etc. We all love it here!” Service Opportunities T he T U R N Com mu nit y and A r ts Center in Spanish Fork has acquired an elect r ic piano as well as rhy th m inst r uments, congas, and a djembe. We welcome any further donations of musical instruments, percussions, or artist’s supplies. TURN also desires to make active use of the local arts and
That’s the beaut y of HuHot. You lear n what works for you, then go again for a new batch of food. She was also impressed the chefs don’t overcook items. “I li ke how the veget ables come out crispy,” she commented. “And the asparagus is tender, not woody.” We also experimented with noodle choices. “The white Pad Thai noodles are v e r y g o o d ,” D a v e P a r k e r n o t e d . “And with the zucchini – I just love zucchini!” Jim Jurgens had noticed an enticing aroma as we entered the restaurant. “It smells so good,” he said. “And it’s clean and inviting.” Our server told us she lives nearby and her husband loves living downwind. It saves her making a lot of evening meals. “If I lived near this it would be bad,” Jera said. “I’d be here all the time!” Alex told us there are gluten free choices and if someone is wor r ied about someone else’s peanut sauce getting too close, the chefs take special care to clean the grill and block diners’ foods from touching. We all ag reed this is a place for everyone – young, old, vegetarians and meat eaters. Kids can pick their favorite vegetables, even if they only like one or two. Vegetarians would love skipping the meat counter and fixating on garden offerings. Meat lovers are in heaven with piles of beef, pork, chicken, calamari, salmon, sausage and more. But keep in mind this advice my friend Jim gave: “Don’t be in a hurry, take small portions each time and don’t be afraid to experiment,” he counseled. If you haven’t gorged yourself on dinner, have a dessert like the tantalizing Khan’s Cake. “It’s delightfully densely decadent,” Jim said. A nice end to a tasty, healthy, entertaining meal.
The End Result Comes From Your Own Choices

Review of “The Invention of Wings” by Sue Monk Kidd
I
was three-fifths of a person. It came to me that what I’d just suggested would seem paramount to proclaiming vegetables equal to animals, animals equal to humans, women equal to men, men equal to angels. I was upending the order of creation. Strangest of all, it was the first time thoughts of equality had entered my head, and I could only attribute it to God, with whom I’d lately taken up and who was proving to be more insurrectionary than law-abiding.” K idd is the bestselling author of another book I enjoyed, “The Secret Life of Bees”. Our book club read it 10 years ago and ever yone loved it. I’m going to choose “The Invention of Wings” for my turn in a few months. I’ve also purchased it for a gift so I’ve put my money where my mouth is, to use a popular idiom. I want to help it get to #1 on that Best Sellers list.

Every28, end the embarrassment
By Debbie Balzotti
rarely use the word master piece when t al k ing about a book, but “ T he I nve nt ion of Wi ng s” h a s earned this accolade and a spot on my crowded bookshelf. It’s one of the best new books I have read this year, and as I write this has risen to #6 on the NYTimes Best Sellers list. One of my favorite reading pastures is historical fiction, but I find I have to watch where I step or I might find myself wiping manure off my reading glasses. Some historical fiction has too little history and way too much fiction to keep me grazing. “The Invention of Wings” is historical fiction at its best with a captivating story based on real sisters and real events. Author Sue Monk Kidd includes her inspiration for writing this story about a family and their slaves in South Carolina. She commented, “As it turned out, I’d been driving by the Grimke sister’s u n marked house for over a decade, unaware that these two women were the first female abolition agents and among the earliest major American feminist thinkers.” Sarah Grimke, and the slave Hetty she is forced to accept as her eleventh bir thday gift, share the nar ration in alternating chapters. Hetty and Sarah are only a year apart in age, but world’s apart in every other way. In 1803 there is little freedom or opportunity for women, but no freedom for slaves. Hetty, called Handful by her slave mother, lear ns that f reedom can be deciding you will not let your spirit or thoughts be “owned” by anyone. Both Hetty and her mother are abused by their owners but they never lose hope that someday they will be freed from slavery. As t he once r ich a nd pr iv ileged Sa r a h aba ndon s t he bel iefs of her childhood she decides, “By law, a slave

Submitted by Matt Toone People around the world share one common experience - the horror of the “tampon r un.” Running out of “the goods” for women is inconvenient, awkward, and potentially embarrassing. The embarrassment is also profound for men who are often sent by gi rlf r iends and wives i n desperate need. Through the power of a tampon monthly subscription, Ever y28 seeks to eliminate the pain, discomfort and awk ward mome nt s t h at so of ten come along with the pu rcha si ng of these items that are so uncomfor table (quite literally!). Over the decades, cou ntless men have agonized in the feminine hygiene isle. The dizzying array of tampons and pads and the awkward checkout line experience is enough to make a grown man cry. Founder Matt Toone has been sent by his wife way too many times over the years. Matt and his wife Heather created Every28 to ensure women never run out of “the goods” again. Now women can have their tampons delivered, avoid awkward and embarrassing checkout line experiences and save men everywhere from the dreaded “tampon run.” Matt Toone stated, “Men have historically found themselves unexpectedly drafted into late night missions.

eading discourses given by LDS leaders during the 1850s, one sees how consistent and central the theme of building Zion was to the Church during that decade. Here’s a few representative quotes from then: 1852: “Don’t mention Joseph Smith -- never mention the Book of Mormon or Zion, and all the people will follow you.” - Brigham Young 1853: “It now remains with us to bear off this kingdom, build up Zion, and establish the law thereof, until Christ shall reign King of nations….” - Brigham Young 1854: They will then find out that the “Mormons” ...are authorized to preach the Gospel of God, gather Israel, build up Zion, bind Lucifer with a chain, and establish the reign of peace on earth. 1855: “...how long will it take us to build up Zion, to emigrate people from the far off cor ners of the earth, [if ] they apostatize and r un away when they get here?” - Apostle Amasa M. Lyman 1856: “...we shall have all the skill, and all the power, and all the wisdom, and all the treasures, and all the means necessary to build up Zion, gather the people, redeem Israel, fulfil the promises, and build the holy temples and cities of our God; redeem and bring
about the restoration of the living, and administer for the dead, and do all things necessary to accomplish the pur poses of God whereunto we are called.“ - Parly P. Pratt 1857: “we will go to work and labor with all our mights to build up the kingdom of our God, to carry out the purposes of the Lord, in the building up of Zion, the establishment of his kingdom, and restoration, and salvation of the house of Israel” - Wilford Woodruff 1858: “We have talked about redeeming Zion, but the people are not yet righteous enough to receive and build up Zion in its purity though they are growing to it.” - Brigham Young 1859: “Let your whole soul—affections, actions, wishes, desires, every effor t and motive, and ever y hour’s labor you perform be with a single eye to the building up the Zion of God on the earth.” - Brigham Young. T hey seemed to have had an over-arching view back then in regards to building Zion, a goal apparently central to the Church’s mission. Are we Saints,156 years later, “growing into it” yet?

Parenting 911 By Trudy Peck
HELP! For Dysfunctionals Dear Mothergoose, I’m just a kid (I hope that’s okay) b ut the re’s something I nee d help with. I know what a ‘normal’ family is like and mine, well, is definitely not ‘normal’. I think they call it ‘ dysfunctional’. I love my mom and dad and ever ything (most of the time. Well, some of the time, anyway.) but somebody needs to tell them a few things about how to make a dysfunctional family a good one any way. T hings have GOT to get better. Can you help? Dear Love Your Mom and Dad, T han k you for ask ing! I n a way, every family is dysfunctional. Some parents yell, some kids are disrespectful, some moms work and have to leave kids alone or with a sitter, some dads are disabled or out of work, some parents are so busy working they forget to be with the kids. There is something goi ng on i n ever y house you wal k by. Anyone who tells you different is selling something! But there are some things parents can do and some things kids can do to help make bad situations better. They may seem too obvious or too simple to make a difference but try it out. See what happens! Pa rent s ca n: 1. Be respect f ul of everyone, even if someone has done something terrible or hurtful. 2. Time together is crucial so, even with tough work schedules, make time for family and make the time with family worth it. 3. Relationships don’t just g row because you live under the same roof.
Make the people around you feel that they are important to you, even when you are tired. 4. Share the load and the responsibility. If you teach children how to help out and expect them to do it, even let them know you NEED their help, they will feel their importance and learn to like contributing. 5. Say, “I’m sorry!” often. 6. Give a lot of physical attention, even if you are not that used to it. People need touch to thrive. 7. Pray for your family and others. Kids can: A. See their parents as real people who a re good at some things and not so good at others. B. Think of what you can do to help out. C. Make sure you take care of your own responsibilities. D. If Mom and Dad don’t live together, remember the r ules of where you are. E. Kids can think of others first and surprise Mom and Dad by being a peacemaker. F. Don’t fight! G. Try to get enough sleep. H. Love people. There are a lot of things both kids and parents can do to make every kind of family better. Things at home may not be ideal, but you do have a choice on how you contribute to the peace of the family. Building up people will build the family. It will build up you! Thank you for being brave enough to ask. Good luck! Mothergoose loves questions from a l l age s. Wr it e mot he rgo ose911@ yahoo.com.

MoneyRipples Founder Addresses Networking Nights At Networking Nights, April 15th became something more fun and exciting than simply “tax day.” That evening, Chris Miles spoke to the group on the subject: “How to Get Your Customers to Want to Buy Your Product.” Mr. Miles is the founder of Mo ne yR ip ple s.c om a nd a le a d i ng author it y on how to quickly create cash f low and lasting wealth. His presentation focused on teaching customers how your product or service benefits their lives. According to Chris, customers will pay more when they see the value in what you’re offering. For instance, consider whether your service could give customers a tax advantage. Consider comparing your offering to an investment with a specific yield. Would the benef its of purchasing your product or ser v ice exceed a si m ila r outlay into an investment? Likewise, would the customer gain enough from use of your product or service to exceed the monthly cost of a loan? If your customer sold some seldom-used item lying around the house and used the money to buy your product or service, would they not receive more value? Chris helped the group to see the value of their products and services in a different light.

How Using The Wrong Printer Cartridges Can Cost You More By Irwin Brooks
Iguana Inks & Toner, LLC (Part 2: Inkjet Cartridges) Bad qualit y I n k car t r idge ref ills ca n a lso e nd up c ost i ng fa r more money than is saved. Often, ink refill stores or online suppliers will ref ill car t r idges without cleaning and /or re-chipping them. Let’s address these two issues separately. 1) Unwashed inkjet cartridges often result in poor quality printouts. Ink is formulated to be quick drying so a person can handle the printout as soon as it comes out of the printer. While this may be a desired inkjet characteristic, the drawback is that inkjet cartridges dry out. Fresh ink, installed in these unwashed car tridges, tends to f loat these dried ink globs to the print-head where they get stuck, blocking the jet and causing streaky printouts. Therefore, these cartridges fail to yield the specified output count, resulting in a significantly higher cost-per-outputpage, thus defeating the pur pose of buying a ref illed or remanufactured cartridge to save money. 2) Non-re-chipped tank cartridges ca n cause a n expensive premat u re print-head failure. Unlike the printhead cartridge type printers that have the print-head built into each replacement ca r t r idge, the t a n k t y pe ca rtridges have the print-head built into the printer. These printers can usually be identified by having a separate car tridge for each color. While the ink cartridges for these non-print-head type cartridges are cheaper, the shortcuts taken by many refillers can make it far more expensive than buying new cartridges. Often times to keep prices
down, the refiller will not change the car t r idge chip. The car t r idge chip keeps track of the usage and reports empty cartridges to the user. While s ome p r i nt e r m a nu f a c t u r e r s h ave allowed the printers to still use the refilled cartridges, the damage to the pr i nt-head could be ver y expense. Since inkjet printers work by instantly boiling ink through an extremely small hole onto the paper, the incoming ink acts to cool the piezoelectric heater in preparation for the next squirt. Without fresh ink to cool the piezoelectric heater, the heater overheats and burns up much li ke a d r y pot on a stove burner. With Brother and Epson brand printers, these print-heads are not user replaceable and require sending the printer to a “factory service center”. If under war ranty, often a different printer is returned that requires different cartridges for an additional added expense. On HP and Canon printers, while the print-heads are mostly user replaceable, they typically cost more t ha n $80 each. Now t he quest ion becomes, “Is my printer worth an $80 investment”? Often it is not and was all because the refiller, trying to raise his profit margin and save a few cents, did not bother to change the cartridge chip. T here is hope! Even though the OEM printer manufacturer does their best to lock you into buying only their new cartridges at a ridiculously high price, you the customer, can f ind a cheaper alternative to the sky high ink prices. My best advice is to f ind a good, knowledgeable expert to guide you. Saving money is still possible with the right quality re-manufacturer. Copyright 2014.

Ginny’s Genealogical Gems By Ginny Ackerson
Prisons and Jails - A possible link to family history
J
ails are locally- operated shor t t e r m fa ci l it ie s t h at hold b ot h i n mates await i ng t r ial or sentencing or both, and those sentenced to a term of less than one year, typically m isdemea na nts. P r isons a re longer-term facilities run by the state or the federal gover nment typically holding felons and persons with sentences of more than one year. Many records for the residents of these institutions are restricted. Some jurisdictions allow access if the in mate is dead or the records are older than a set amount of years. Records can be found in State archives or libraries, historical and genealogical societies, extracted and posted by individuals or in institutional archives. Many records have been destroyed because of storage issues or institutional policies. I n 1891, the Federal gover n ment established the Federal Prison System consisting of three prisons located i n L eave nwor t h , K S; Atla nt a , GA and McNeil Island., WA. Now there a re 147 i nst it ut ions i n the Federal Pr ison System. Some, li ke McNeil Isla nd , have been closed but t hei r records still exist. To get the records you will need to go through NARA. Some records are restricted to before 75 years ago and more recent records
may be obtained if you have proof of death, but may have some information redacted. Some indexes of in mates are online at www.archives,gov and at www.ancestry.com .You may find the following types of records: Entry photo or mug shot, record sheet which contains in mate name and number, cr ime and sentence and violations; personal data sheet containing birth date and place, parents and spouse, permanent address, religion, education, vices and more; fingerprint card, daily work record detailing what the inmate did while they were in prison; hospital record which has their illnesses and t reat ments.; physician’s intake exam including weight, height and use of tobacco and liquor; correspondence logs containing who he corresponded with, their address and their relationship; any personal correspondence; trusty prisoner agreement (an ag reement bet ween the i n mate and the instit ution that allowed the prisoner to work outside of the prison once proved tr ustwor thy; a copy of the court sentence; family stories and correspondence; and a social interview as it was felt at one time that criminals evolved from their social situation so they took all the details they could about the inmate’s background.
