Therapy Animals work their magic
and hands-on training that must be repeated every two years. Animal welfare is a top priority. Regular veterinary visits and a limit on the number of hours an animal can work are required, as are health and grooming standards. Because this nonprofit doesn’t charge for its services, there is always a need for donations and help with fundraising. Carr encourages anyone who has a well-mannered and sociable animal to consider volunteering to become a therapy animal team: “It never ceases to amaze me how experienced therapy animals are able to understand what people need and minister to them in ways that their fellow humans can’t.” For more information, visit www.therapyanimalsutah.org.

Debbie Carr, executive director of Therapy Animals of Utah, based in Provo, visited a memory care unit in a nursing home in May. When the rest of the residents left the room to eat a meal, one woman kept Debbie’s hairless Sphynx cat, Shen, on her lap, petting him and singing to him. Later, a therapist from the nursing home told Carr, “I’ve never seen (the resident) smiling so much.” Moments like these are what keep Carr doing what she’s been doing for the past 28 years: training and working with therapy animals to assist what’s grown into a network of 86 therapy animal teams serving 60 facilities from Logan to Santaquin. “I’ve learned that we are only touching the tip of the iceberg of possibility in tapping into the power of the human-animal bond for our mutual benefit,” Carr says. It’s this human-animal bond that compels her to log over 1000 miles around the state each month, supervising programs and handlers. Therapy Animals of Utah works with the state psychiatric hospital, Primary Children’s Hospital, nursing homes, shelters, clinics, mental health treatment programs, schools, libraries, the Salt Lake City Airport, and juvenile courts. In addition to this regular work, the nonprofit also holds special events, such as university stress-relief and workplace wellness events. One especially popular service these animals provide is helping in library literacy programs. Many scientific studies support the idea that, as Carr explains, “kids perform better when they are re-
Shen, a therapy animal, sits nose to nose with an assisted living resident. laxed and happy, and reading to an animal works on a deep physical level to produce relaxation and feelings of safety. Kids read to an animal that listens, snuggles, and doesn’t correct them. They feel happy and safe, and they enjoy the experience.” Many other animals besides dogs and cats can be registered for animal-assisted therapy. Alpacas, domestic rats, guinea pigs, miniature horses, llamas, miniature pigs, parrots, and rabbits can also undergo training and form a strong bond with humans.
According to the Therapy Animals of Utah Web site, different from emotional support animals and service animals who serve one individual in need, a therapy animal “is an animal that meets certain criteria, is tested and insured, and visits people with its owner/handler in a variety of settings to provide health, social-emotional, and educational benefits.” Therapy Animals of Utah is different from other organizations that promote animal-assisted interventions because of its strict criteria. Both the handler and his or her animal go through rigorous online

The opioid epedimic is sweeping across the nation and Utah is no exception. According the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website, more than 40% of all U.S. opioid overdose deaths in 2016 involved a prescription opioid. There were 635 deaths caused by drug overdose in Utah in 2016. The most common prescription opioids involved in overdose deaths include methadone, oxycodone and hydrocodone. Utah County Commissioners, Nathan Ivie and Bill Lee, alongside other county officials, will conduct town hall meetings to continue the county efforts in fighting the opiate epidemic. The commissioners will facilitate the discussions during the upcoming town hall meetings around Utah County. Ivie has stated, “I believe the basis of a free society is a moral society, and when a

segment of society engages in immoral activity, there is a role of government to ensure justice is served.” Commissioner Lee has related his sentiments by saying, “It’s a crisis. We all see it. It’s not hidden anywhere. It’s known.” Possible topics to be discussed are: *Lay out national, state, and Utah County responses already implemented *Discuss information on naloxone and drug disposal packets *Lay out recent national, state, and Utah County initiatives (state legislative bills, new congressional bills) Speak specifically new initiatives being considered to implement in Utah County Q and A. Upcoming town hall meetings will start at 7 p.m. at the following dates and places: June, 13 – Lehi City Building, 123 North Center St. #3, Lehi.

Last fall, the Utah County Commission passed a resolution to pursue legal action against drug manufacturers and distributors of opioids. During a May 1 meeting, county commissioners moved forward with their intent to join a movement of opioid lawsuits around the country by voting to begin negotiations with Jones Waldo Law firm to represent the county in possible litigation. The resolution allows the county to enter into formal negotiations with the law firm to establish a contract. The contract would need to be approved at a later time. A committee reviewed several applications from law firms offering to represent the county and recommended Jones Waldo in part because of their association with national firms that have experience in opioid litigation. They can handle a possible opioid lawsuit on a state or federal level, depending on the direction the county decides to go. Six counties in the state -- Salt Lake, Cach, Davis, Utah, Washington and Weber -- have passed resolutions to pursue legal action against big pharmaceutical companies for their responsibility for Utah’s opioid crisis. Across the country, hundreds of opioid lawsuits have been filed by cities, counties and states against opioid makers and distributors. Utah County officials look forward to working closely together with residents to come to a better solution for the health and welfare of all who live here.

Utah’s Oldest Scout Troop Maintains Historic Traditions
FREE Free TRAVEL BACK PACK
By Christine Hogge for Serve Daily
What does it feel like to be part of the oldest scouting community in Utah? According to Scoutmaster Kevin Keaton, it’s “phenomenal.” “No other program out there helps these young boys cross over to young men quite so well,” said Keaton. Keaton, along with 48 young boys and other volunteers make up Troop 51. First formed in 1916, this group has been running strong for the last 102 years. Recently the corporate offices of BSA announced some changes that stirred the waters. Some of these include a name change, increased gender diversity, and new acceptance of LGBTQ leaders. However, according to Keaton, you won’t have to worry about the new changes affecting the group very much. While girls are now able to join the scouting program, they’re still keeping the troops segregated. This means that for Troop 51 activities will continue on as normal, with campouts, flag ceremonies and fundraisers. While the leaders are there to advise and observe, the young men are the ones that plan almost everything, including their most recent annual spaghetti fundraiser dinner. The troop managed to sell over 1100 dinners. The money from this fundraiser helps to fund the rest of the activities of the year. What is it that makes Troop 51 different? It’s rich traditions and history. In the last year, they hosted a grand celebratory birthday with 25 years worth of scout leaders. “You don’t get that kind of history very often,” said Keaton, “It has super strong traditions, it’s almost more of a brotherhood.” Another focus of the group is the quality of men they are creating. “Other troops are more concerned about checking off requirements and getting a badge. While we feel that our troop is more about a brotherhood of scouting and building the leadership skills available for these men.” Membership trends suggest that the

Are you ready to make the difference? your knowledge, your skills, your strengths and your tools. You may only have a few minutes, or a few seconds, to make the difference –or not- and the rest of your life to think about it, with the likelihood you will never be there again to make it different. Though the battles are different in EMS than in police work, the principle’s the same. In this world, each of us may face disaster. The Boston Marathon bombing resulted in multiple traumatic amputations (limbs literally blown off). 527 people were injured (58 killed) in the Las Vegas shooting. Ten were killed and 14 injured in the Toronto vehicle attack. In every case, bystanders with some knowledge, skills, strengths and, maybe, some
tools stepped in to make a difference. Are you ready to step in to the make the difference? If the one in need is your neighbor, spouse, child, loved one, are your prepared to live with not having been ready to make the difference and the likelihood that, once it is done, you will never be there again to make it different. Recently SEMA offered to teach the two-hour National Stop the Bleed course – FOR FREE. Only one person inquired. We will run to help you like you are one of our own, but in the case of a serious bleed or AMI (heart attack), it could all be over “but the shoutin’” by the time we get there. High-quality CPR and early defibrillation are still the most important factors in saving lives in cardiac arrest – do you know both, or either? Are
you ready with the knowledge, skills, and tools to apply a tourniquet or stop bleeding at a junctional injury where a tourniquet won’t work? Perhaps it’s the time or money that have kept you from learning these life-saving skills. But, ask yourself how much you would pay, or how much time you would you promise to spend after the fact, as you try to beat back the hands of the grim reaper from your loved one. Again, we will come running like our life depends on it to get to you, but it may be you who can make the real difference until we get there. SEMA is always interested in reaching out to our neighbors to increase our safety. If you might be interested in learning more email me at kenwrightsalemems@ gmail.com.

By Ken Wright for Serve Daily Before moving to beautiful Salem, where I joined the outstanding men and women of SEMA, I was a police officer for a little over 33 ½ years at a large Southern California police agency. Constant exposure to victims of crime, accident, and disaster reminded me that tragedy can befall any of us. It was apparent, however, that “luck favors the prepared.” With that in mind, I/we lived with a principle of obligatory preparedness: When the time to perform arrives, the time to prepare has passed. And, you will only have what you bring to the battle that day-

to May 1949. The concept of raising money for a tribute museum, aviation education center, and CAP hangar has matured into a serious project under the guidance of community relations coordinator Angela Davidson. A parcel of land at the entrance to the airport has been secured with groundbreaking planned for
October 13. This kickoff celebration, one of many fundraising projects, was timely and a great success. The event organizers promoted this “kickoff celebration” with a few posters around town and their Facebook page and they were surprised at the crowd of more than an estimated 1,500 people that turned out. In addition to 97-year-old Gail Halvorsen, his pilot grandson was present, along with Senator Mike Lee, State Representative La Var Christensen, and Spanish Fork Mayor Steve Leifson. Everyone kept their speeches short to get on with the main event of the morning. Gail Halvorsen and Senator Lee went up in a helicopter and in four passes dropped 500 Hershey Bars dangling under small white parachutes for the kids in the crowd. The candy bars landed in the field where the Gail Halvorsen Museum and Aviation Education Center will be built. It was a pretty amazing sight. Fundraising is not completed and monthly events will continue. If you would like to learn more and contribute to the Gail Halvorsen Aviation Education Center please check out their Facebook page and website, www.thecandybomber.org.

Sons of Utah Pioneers visit historic sites By LaRon Taylor for Serve Daily The Mt. Nebo Chapter of the Sons of Utah Pioneers recently took a trek to Cove Fort & Filmore. The weather was pleasantly warm with some wind that is ever-present in that area. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a complete tour of the historic fort. We were fascinated with the thick walls and the tiny rifle portals. Some of us were able to see for the first time what an oxshoe looked like. After touring the fort, we headed for the
first State Capitol in Filmore. It was only partially built (25%) because government funding got locked up. In addition to lots of early artifacts, they also had a ton of ancestral pictures. Some of us even found pictures of our own ancestors while there. The trek was informative and very enjoyable. The association with one another was also uplifting in this casual setting. The Mt. Nebo Chapter has a monthly meeting on the fourth Thursday of every month at 6:30 PM. The members and their spouses enjoy a great catered meal and a guest speaker. Anyone wishing to join (or learn more about) the SUP can call Dan Howlett at 801-224-5885.
GINNY’S GENEALOGICAL GEMS
Non-population census schedules By Ginny Ackerson for Serve Daily Non-population schedules contained in Ancestry’s database include agriculture, industry/manufacturers and social statistics. Agricultural schedules are useful for both historians and family historians, providing an overall view of the agricultural state of the nation. These schedules recorded statistics on farms, plantations, and market gardens, listing the names of owners, agents, and managers. The type of statistics recorded included the total acreage of land, the value of the farm, machinery and livestock, the amount of staples (wool, cotton, grain, etc.) produced, and the value of animals slaughtered, etc. In 1880, farm operators were classified as owner, tenant, or sharecropper. Industry schedules are useful for illustrating the industrial and technological development of the country. These schedules collected information about manufacturing, mining, fishing, and mercantile, commercial, and trading businesses with an annual gross product of $500.00 or more. Social statistics schedules compiled from 1850 to 1880 contain three items of specific interest for the genealogist: (1) The schedules list cemetery facilities
within city boundaries, including maps with cemeteries marked; the names, addresses, and general description of all cemeteries; procedures for interment; cemeteries no longer functioning; and the reasons for their closing. (2) The schedules also list trade societies, lodges, clubs, and other groups, including their addresses, major branches, names of executive officers, and statistics showing members, meetings, and financial worth. (3) The schedules list churches, including a brief history, a statement of doctrine and policy, and a statistical summary of membership by county. Knowing the cemeteries, societies and churches in the area where your family lived can help you find many more records Other information recorded on the social statistics schedules include the aggregate value of property, a breakdown of taxes paid, a list of schools (you may find your family in school records), colleges, and academies with their numbers of teachers and students, a list of libraries and their number of books, a list of newspapers and periodicals published within a community, which is very helpful for a genealogist, the number of paupers supported by the community, the number of criminals convicted within the previous year, and the number of convicts in jail.

THOUGHTS ON ZION The Impact of Stories V How do co-ops help build Zion? By Jesse Fisher for Serve Daily Some may be unaware that early LDS leaders taught that co-operatives were a means of uniting the Saints economically and preparing them for their eventual return to build the New Jerusalem Zion. A great quote showing this was given by Elder George A. Smith in the October 1873 General Conference. He said, “We are looking forward to the day when we shall return to Jackson County...That will one day be the Center Stake of Zion, the center spot of the New Jerusalem which God is to build on this land. We can only be prepared for that work by being united...Can we not unite a little in erecting a [co-operative] factory, in establishing a store? Can we not learn, step by step, the principles of unity, which will enable us to be the people of God, like the Zion of Enoch, and prepare us for a dwelling with the blest? Every step we take of this kind is in the right direction. Sustain our Cooperative stores, and cease to sustain those who do not build up Zion.” In a co-operative, unlike the typical corporation today, the profits are distributed among the local population. Those who work in the co-op, and often the patrons, receive a portion of the profits. This is done in order to prevent the division of the people into unequal economic classes of rich and poor. The Lord himself in Moses 7 says that
one attribute of Zion is that there were no poor among them – not because they were kicked out, but because those who were more gifted economically assisted those who weren't to prosper as well. In an effort to unite the Saints economically, and prevent the rise of classes, the LDS Church leaders organized them into numerous cooperatives. The goal was to attain that unity that God also mentions in Moses 7 – “they were of one heart and one mind”. President George Q. Cannon in the April 1869 General Conference said it this way: “A great many of the Latter-day Saints scarcely understand the persistency with which the Presidency of the Church has labored to bring about the oneness of the people in temporal things; and this cooperative movement is an important step in this direction and is designed to prepare them for the ushering in of this Order to which I have been alluding. It has already produced greater union, and it will produce still greater union than anything that has been witnessed among us; and if we carry it out in the spirit in which it has been taught to us it will produce immense results.” In the spirit of doing “many good things of their own free will, and to bring to pass much righteousness” (D&C 58:26-29), I invite you to join one effort to begin building co-ops and start on the path of preparing ourselves for the economic unity required of those who live in a Zion society.

My Story Matters volunteers with the children they serve.
By Cynthia Coulon for Serve Daily My Story Matters, a local charitable organization founded by Springville resident Amy Chandler, operates under the belief that every person’s story matters— and that the telling of it, the recording of it, the sharing of it, the embracing of it— can bring beautiful results to everyone involved in the process. The work of My Story Matters is to give the gift of story to families and children living in our communities by engaging them in the storytelling process and eventually presenting them with custom-made books containing their unique photos and stories. The only way My Story Matters can provide this meaningful service is through the generous participation of volunteers including photographers, interviewers, writers, and editors. Local volunteers from all walks of life, ages, and stages discover insights and rewards as they connect with one person at a time through the storytelling process. My Story Matters Board Member, Sharon Gib remarked, “I love is seeing a volunteer who really gets it, who understands what we are doing and really experiences it. I love seeing that light come on in their eyes. One thing I’ve noticed is that when people get involved with My Story Matters, they stay involved, they don’t just drift away. They get interested and they get invested.” Lisa Minnick began her work with My Story Matters as an intern. Even though her internship is long over, she continues to serve in the organization in all kinds of ways. She said, "It's truly a humbling emotion when you intend to help someone change their life and instead they change yours." Another volunteer who serves at event
after event is Marilyn Olson. She said, "I am so grateful I am able to work for My Story Matters! Helping others find strength in their story makes me feel stronger in my own story.” College student, Katie Sackrison, shared this insight she had after helping at a My Story Matters event, “As a college student just trying to get through school, it can be easy to feel insignificant. Really though, in any stage of life it can be easy to feel insignificant. One day as I was driving home from an event, I had the thought that I hoped these books really help the kids remember how important they are. And then I thought to myself, but do YOU remember how important you are? My Story Matters has repeatedly taught me that I am a person who matters. My story is important, and it's such a blessing to be unique and original. Original stories are the best, and I shouldn't be trying to make my pages look the same as anyone else.” Professional photographer, Mark Saengsoury, started volunteering with My Story Matters a year ago. He explained, “Working with these kids reminds me of my own childhood. I am a child of first-generation immigrants. We struggled financially growing up. I felt that I was on the outside looking in most times when I was around my peers. I always felt that my life wasn't as "cool" or worth telling as everyone else's because of what I didn't have in my childhood. I realize now that my differences make me unique, and that there's no one else that could've filled in my story like I did. It's a source of pride now.” It’s easy to get involved—My Story Matters has a place for everyone! Volunteers fulfill a variety of roles. Donations large and small are also appreciated. Go to the “Get Involved” webpage at www. mystorymatters.org to find out more!

What High School Graduation Means By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily
Graduation allows a time for celebrating the achievements of the past four years and the excitement of what’s to come after high school. Graduating from high school can also mean so much more. It can be a time to reflect on lessons learned and can also be a time to reflect on the parents, teachers, and mentors who helped each graduate get to the point they are at today. Graduation is a celebration of the hard work of the graduates, parents, teachers, administrators, and staff. Nebo School District thanks the inspirational speakers, valedictorians, salutatorians, and students across the district for making the Nebo District 2018 graduations a wonderful experience for everyone. Congratulations to Nebo School District’s 2,198 graduating high school seniors that received over $18 million in scholarships. Springville High: Graduating class of 401 Theme: “Be brave. Take risks.

Fifth Graders Walk to Honor Veterans By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily SPANISH FORK — For the second year, the Spanish Fork American Legion Post 68 organized a program to educate fifth grade students in the 18 elementary schools in Spanish Fork and Salem to the legacy of our flag and the defenders of that flag. The 2018 event at the Spanish Fork Sports Park was held on Tuesday and Wednesday morning, May 8 and 9, to accommodate about 600 fifth graders a day. The title of this year’s event was Freedom Walk 2018. It was described as a walk for life, a walk for patriotism and a walk for the love of the freedom we all enjoy. Each student had a t-shirt donated by the Doug Ford family, and the teachers accompanying the students from school wore black MIA/POW t-shirts. Each student was also given a “dog tag” as a remembrance of the day. The opening ceremony was the raising of the flag to the bugle call (To The Color). A short speech was given about the history of the flag. The Spanish Oaks choir was directed Tuesday by Ms. Ariane Brown and Riverview choir on Wednesday by Mrs. Heidi Bundy sang a medley of patriotic songs representing

Since 2005, Mrs. Melanie Adamson has been a special education teacher for the Nebo School district, with a specialty in severe/profound disabilities. Mrs. Adamson brings the student body of the entire school into her classroom. She partners with the preschool and third-grade classes.

In one case, Mrs. Adamson attended church with one of her students to help the student's church leaders understand him and how to assist with his behaviors. She helped find solutions to reinforce positive behavior and over time, his behaviors improved dramatically.

Maple Mountain High School’s yearbook was handed out on a Friday with a word bubble in the shape of cross-town rival Springville’s logo containing traits like “snobby,” “annoying,” “stupid,” “ghetto,” “satanic,” and “trash,” under the title “Describe Springville.” After a parent posted a photo of the page on social media, the community was quick to condemn the page as bullying and not fitting to what students should be learning at school about the way others should be treated.

Cosmo the Cougar and BYU Dunk Team provide entertainment at the Lighthouse Celebration.
By Janelle Barrett for Serve Daily SPRINGVILLE — Cherry Creek Elementary in Springville recently became the newest Lighthouse School after four years of implementing The Leader In Me program. This award is given by Franklin Covey Co. to schools who have demonstrated excellence and consistency in implementing The Leader In Me, a school transformational model based on Steven Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. To celebrate this milestone, the school hosted a community celebration on Monday, May 7th. Corbin White and Matt McGrath from Franklin Covey presented the lighthouse award to Mike Duncan, principal of Cherry Creek. Entertainment was provided by special guests Cosmo the Cougar and the BYU Dunk Team. The entire Cherry Creek community has contributed so much time and effort to reach this point in The Leader In Me process. Four years ago, the faculty was presented with the option of implementing this model of culture and curriculum and they decided with unanimous support to do so. Since then, it has required the support of families, staff, and especially the students to make The Leader In Me take life. In March of this year, a Lighthouse Review Team from Franklin Covey took a student-led tour through the school, vis-
iting classrooms and walking the halls, to determine if the school had demonstrated consistent and mature implementation of leadership principles. Mr. Duncan was then notified in April that the school had met all the necessary requirements to be designated as a Lighthouse School. Students have taken these leadership principles to heart, and they truly are the life-blood of The Leader In Me model. They have taken great pride in reaching Lighthouse status, and they were thrilled to hear the news. Scarlett Robinson, a second-grade student, said, "It's special because all the kids in the school had to work together, just like Habit #6: Synergize. Our school is doing what's right to help us learn." Seth Ramirez, in fourth grade, said, "We're inspiring other schools to live the habits. The habits help us stay focused on what's most important--learning and preparing for the future." Adrianna Herold, a second grader, shared how Cherry Creek is like a lighthouse. "Our example shines bright, and we help each other to feel good about ourselves," she said. "Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind has taught me that we can't get what we want right away, we have to earn it," said Brayan Monge, a fifth-grade student. Cherry Creek Elementary is a PreK-6 Title 1 school located in Springville, UT. Cherry Creek strives to live by its mission statement, "We Lead. We Learn. We Inspire. I am important!"

Miller's Trailer Sales celebrates 50 years in business By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily
SPANISH FORK — Miller’s Trailer Sales has been a fixture in Spanish Fork for the last 50 years. The family business was opened in 1968 by Roy Miller on a lot near 800 North and Main Street. Three years later, Miller’s moved to their present location, just off Highway 6 at 950 E. 800 N., where they have added on 4 times since 1971. Roy Miller retired in 2005 and his son Rod took over the business. Rod has been a working in the family business since he was 15 years old. He has a son, Brett, who plans to take over him who has been working at Miller’s for 10 year’s now. Miller’s started out with an inventory of 3 trailers. They made a name for themselves selling slide-in truck shells and
campers, later adding travel trailers and motorhomes. Some of the most popular products today are toy haulers - a hybrid camping trailer with a towing space for all-terrain vehicles. With the RV industry growing, Miller’s expects to be around for a very long time. “More and more people are joining the RV lifestyle from weekend camping trips to selling their homes and becoming fulltime RV dwellers and traveling the country,” said Rod. Rod credits their success to good customer service and a family feel. “We have lots and lots of repeat customers, so we must be taking care of them,” he said. To celebrate 50 years of low prices and great service, Miller’s Trailer will have different sales going each month all year. Trailers and accessories will be offered at discounted prices.

Celebrate Sunroc Building Materials new store By Shirlene Jordan for Serve Daily SPRINGVILLE — The Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce is proud to highlight one of our great chamber business members, Sunroc. In June of 2017 Sunroc Building Materials partnered with Do It Best, a lumber and retail Co-op based in Fort Wayne Indiana. As part of our partnership, we used their store design team to help revamp our home center in Springville. Over the past 8 months, we have been in the process of remodeling our store. We began by sending out a random
survey to Springville residents, and then using the feedback we received from the survey, along with the input from a professional design team, we began the process of re-designing and remodeling our store. We wanted to update our facility, but more importantly, we wanted to provide a better shopping experience for our customers. This has been a long process, with the many challenges that come with any project of this size, but we are so excited for the end result! We hope everyone will stop by and check out our newly refreshed store. Shop Local!

Woman running 50 marathons for kids who can't run By Tiane Kennedy for Serve Daily
PROVO — The Utah Valley Marathon on June 9 will be 55-year-old Michele Rector’s thirteenth marathon in thirteen different states and she’s not slowing down until she runs 37 more in the next 5 years. To reach her lofty goal of “50 by 60” Rector will have to participate in an average of 9 marathons per year. Michele began running four years ago after the last of her children left home for college, and completed her first marathon in her hometown of Houston in 2016. In the beginning, she was running for enjoyment. But she decided it was time to do something more important with her marathons, and remembered when her youngest son, Graham, was 8 years old and diagnosed with a rare childhood disease that affects the hip called Legg-CalvePerthes Disease. At the time she often wished someone would bring attention to this little-known disease. Seventeen years later, she is the “someone” that is making that wish come true. Rector is running for kids who can’t run. An additional bonus is the encouragement she is giving to the families of kids with the disease who are scared and
worried about their children’s future. At the different cities where she has run, families of Perthes kids have come to cheer her on. Even the doctors working with these children despite limited research funding have been enthusiastic about Michele bringing attention to Perthes. Dr. Harry Kim, with the International Perthes Study Group, invited Michele to speak on a panel at the Pediatric Orthopedic Society of North America’s annual meeting in Austin this past May. Michele’s goal is to raise $50,000 for research in this under-funded childhood disease to help other children and to find new ways of treating it. And what happened to that little 8-year-old boy, her son Graham? He is now a 24-year-old second-year medical student at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine. His proud mother says Dr. Julian Chang in Hong Kong (where his family lived at the time of his diagnosis) and Dr. William Phillips at Texas Children's Hospital were a significant influence for his decision to pursue medicine because of their personal, thoughtful, caring treatment which he experienced first-hand. Michele says, “We were blessed - we had a wonderful orthopedic surgeon and we had very good insurance. I stayed

They don’t have access to doctors that understand Perthes, they may not have good insurance, and they might have either two working parents or be a single-parent home. One of the reasons I run is for those families. So they don’t feel so alone. So they know there is a group of physicians from around that world that understand Perthes and are constantly re-evaluating treatment for better outcomes. So that someday the cause of Perthes will be discovered and a cure can be found.” If you'd like to help Michele reach her goal and fund the study of Perthes, improving the lives of children in the throws of the disease, please donate directly to https://www.perthesdisease.org/ perthes-disease-donate.

Bucket List Ram Hunt for 15-year-old By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily
UTAH — Dallas Gilbert-Branin is a 15-year-old young man with a terminal illness, Duchene Muscular Dystrophy. One of the joys in his life is hunting with his father, and one of the things he wanted to hunt was a trophy ram sheep. During the recent Chairbound Sportsman Banquet, a trophy Ram sheep hunt was auctioned off and purchased by a frequent volunteer for the Chairbound Sportsman, Tony Thurber. Knowing Dallas’s dream to hunt a ram sheep Tony donated the Trophy Ram Sheep Hunt to Dallas. Dallas’s hunt was further facilitated with the use of Andy Dahman’s side-byside ATV with a mounted Caldwell gun rest. Dallas’s father, Todd Branin said his son’s nickname is “Sniper” because he is such a good shot. The hunt was held on the mountain ranch property of Dave Shepherd who has a herd of Corsican Barbados Sheep for hunting. Dallas brought
down the Ram with one shot to the heart. Kenneth Vaughn of the Chairbound Sportsman Organization had arranged a ram sheep hunt for two more individuals. David Gardner, a Wounded Warrior who has been an active volunteer for the Chairbound Sportsman for the past 8 years and two years ago shot a ram sheep himself. His 16-year-old son, Gavin Gardner, has also been a helpful volunteer for the past several years and had an opportunity to shoot his own ram sheep during the adventurous day on the mountainous terrain of the Shepard Ranch. He proved to be a great shot and is on his way to becoming a future sniper qualified marksman. Dale Lawrence, a quadriplegic, broke his neck seven years ago in a high school wrestling match. This ram sheep hunt was his first big game hunt since his accident. Dale was able to shoot a 7mm Winchester rifle with several special accommodations so he could shoot the gun well. It had a trigger aide modified by a gunsmith to be shot by persons with Dale Lawrence with his Ram Sheep, assisted by his brother Tanner Lawrence.

THE FUNNYISH FILES
These Are My Problems... By Joseph Capell for Serve Daily These are my problems: The ice-maker on the refrigerator spat out an extra ice cube when I wasn't looking, so there was a cold, wet spot on the kitchen floor that I stepped in with my bare feet. There's a guy driving in the fast lane going only three miles an hour over the speed limit, so I have to get into the middle lane in order to pass him. I was looking forward to finishing off the box of Mini-Wheats because I like the sugary crumbles at the bottom of the box, but my wife finished it before I could. My daughter likes to read so much that sometimes I have to tell her to put the book down and do her chores. I want to take a soak in the bathtub, but I probably should clean the tub first. My favorite pair of shoes is getting a hole in the toe. I'll probably have to get some new shoes. The light turned yellow at just the wrong moment, so I had to make a quick decision on whether to go through the intersection or stop. I stopped. Now I'll have to wait for about thirty seconds before I can go again. We recently replaced our old pillows, and now I'm having a hard time deciding
if I want to sleep with one pillow or with two pillows. I think I need a haircut. Someone else unloaded the dishwasher, and they put away the bowls in the wrong spot. I asked for a Sprite with no ice, but there is definitely some ice in this Sprite. I got another spoon caught in the sink disposal. There were three yellow Starbursts in a row. I like the orange ones best. I'm not sure if there's even been an orange one in this whole pack. With this crazy weather we're having I can't decide if I should wear a jacket or not. I just have 80 pages left to finish reading this book, but I really should get some sleep. I was going to eat a pear, but I had to share some of it with my two-year-old. I thought I'd found a good parking spot, but the car next to it was a little too close to the line and I wasn't sure I could get my door open if I parked there. So, I had to settle for a parking spot five spots further away. The Utah Jazz didn't win the NBA Championship again this year. These are my problems. Life is good.

The Jesse Knight Legacy By Janice Helmick for Serve Daily
UTAH COUNTY — Jesse Knight was a mining magnate who lived in Provo, Utah. He was born on September 6, 1845, in Nauvoo, Illinois, and because his sister, Lydia Rosana Knight, married John Ray Young, is a relative of the author. When Jesse was a one-year-old, his family had to flee Nauvoo. His father, Newel Knight, died in Nebraska, and he was raised by his widow, Lydia. Lydia and her eight children did not reach Salt Lake until 1850. Jesse was poor throughout his childhood and youth. As a young man, Jesse worked as a prospector and discovered the Humbug mine in the Tintic Mining District near Eureka, Utah in 1896. As the Humbug mine proved profitable, he acquired other mines in the area including the Uncle Sam, Beck Tunnel, Iron Blossom, and Colorado mines. He owned more patented mining claims in the Intermountain West than his fellow miners, but he did not manipulate the stock like many other mining
entrepreneurs. When dealing with his working men, he was more paternalistic and benevolent then typical businessmen of the era. Knight treated his employees fairly in the town of Knightsville, which he equipped with a meetinghouse, amusement hall, and a school. He did not allow saloons in his town. His generous gifts to Brigham Young University earned him the reputation of the “patron saint” of BYU. He also gave freely to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to many church projects. He built a relatively simple home, which serves as Berg Mortuary in Provo today. He did not seek political office. During his lifetime, he earned the nickname “Uncle Jesse.” He believed that his money was for the purpose of doing good and building up the church, as a trusted stewardship. He helped save the LDS Church from legal battles with the federal government over such issues as polygamy. He never practiced polygamy. He purchased over 250,000 acres of land in Canada’s Northwest Territories, and many

Mormons who did practice polygamy immigrated to this land and established the community of Raymond. This community grew around the irrigation farming of sugar beets, which were processed in a local sugar factory also built by Jesse Knight. Jesse Knight died at the age of 75 on March 21, 1921, and is buried in the Pro-
vo City Cemetery, Provo, Utah. The Joseph Knight and Polly Peck Knight family reunion will be held June 29 and 30 in Spanish Fork at the YSA Spanish Fork Stake Center, 1138 West 100 South, Spanish Fork. Hope to see you there.

In Our Back Yard
Eureka Tintic Mining District By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily EUREKA — One of the richest mining districts in the world and its wealth of history are just down the road. Southbound on I-15 to US Highway 6 at Santaquin will take to Eureka in about 35 miles. The name is a Greek word meaning “I have found it” and total mineral value from extracted Gold, Silver, Copper, Lead, and Zinc totaled $12,053,440,596 between 1869 and 1947. That is right, that’s 12 billion dollars. That is an incredible amount of money and required an enormous amount of human labor for tunneling and mining. There were approximately 120 large and small mines in the Eureka Tintic Mining District. At one time Eureka was the 9th largest town in Utah with a population of almost 4,000 people as the financial and business center of the area. J.C. Penney opened his second store in Eureka; it was initially called the Golden Rule Store. Outlying from Eureka were the mining camps and town sites of Fitchville, Silver City, Mammoth, Knightville, Dividend, and Homansville. All of which makes this area a fascinating place to visit for its history and ghost town character. As you drive into Eureka you will notice the many historic and long abandoned buildings along both sides of the street. Your first stop should be the Orrin Porter Rockwell cabin on the right side of the road with picnic tables and a good
Historic Mine Hoist in Eureka. sized parking lot. Across the street is the Tintic Historical Society Museum. For a little museum, it has a huge collection of mining and western artifacts. They also have an informative pamphlet titled Eureka City Historic Walking Tour which describes some of the historic buildings in town. Eureka was placed on the National Historic Places Registry in 1979. After this initial orientation to the Eureka Tintic Mining District, there are several graded gravel county roads that are suitable for automobiles to explore the area further. If you go east back out of town you will find a long-closed lumber
Photo: Ed Helmick company on the right. Just beyond the lumber company is a dirt road to the right that heads uphill out of Eureka. At the top of that hill, you can see the famous Humbug Mine on your right. It gets its name from Jessie Knight prospecting and someone told him he wouldn’t find anything, to which he said humbug and subsequently found one of the highest grade silver ore deposits ever discovered. On the left side of the road are the remaining foundations of the company town of Knightville, including a school. Continuing on the road provides a spectacular view of Mount Nebo and the valley
below as it winds past numerous mines on the hillsides. This road will eventually connect with US Highway 6. Before it connects to Highway 6 you will come to a “Y” junction, and the fork to the right has a large sign that states Private Property – No Trespassing. The road is actually a county road open to the public, but the property on both sides of the road is private land that must be respected. If you take the fork to the right it will eventually take you to the town sites of Mammoth and Silver City before it connects with US Highway 6 Just west of Eureka. You will have made a big loop around the mountain behind Eureka to see a lot of the extensive mining activity Tintic Mining District. You may want to get something to eat before you head back home and Eureka has two restaurants, one at each end of town. On the west end of town on the east side of the highway is Porters Place which has relocated to Eureka from years of operating in the City of Lehi. Porters Place offers steaks and seafood in addition to outstanding hamburgers. On the east end of town, across from the high school is B’s Hangout with an extensive sandwich menu. If you want to see the fun come out onto the streets of Eureka and a small town parade. Mark your calendar for the Tintic Silver Jubilee 2018 to be held Friday and Saturday, August 17 and 18.

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily SPRINGVILLE — The 91-year-old Rivoli Theater in Springville has taken a new turn in life and will be playing an interesting role in Art City’s history. Last year Melissa Cannon leased the building from the city of Springville with plans to bring new life to the old theater. That new life turns out to be miniature people and prehistoric type creatures for the production of a full-length stop-motion animated family movie, Saurus City. This movie is written and directed by Nathan Smith and is the story of tiny people who live on the back of a dinosaur. The Rivoli Theater has become a motion picture studio. Stop-motion animation is a technique where objects are physically manipulated so that it appears they move on their own. The objects are moved in small increments between each frame of the motion picture. Miniature people and creatures of the movie are built with movable joints so they can be repositioned with ease. A motion picture requires 24 frames a second and each action change must be photographed in individual frames. This gets particularly complicated when an animated character speaks and the facial movements must match the words being spoken. In a full-length movie, such as Saurus City, that means moving the character hundreds of thousands of times. The people behind the Saurus City movie are the Motion Foundry Studios.
SERVE DAILY | JUNE 2018 | PAGE 30
They have hired a company in Salt Lake, Go Engineer 3D Printing Service, to make as many as 60 different heads for different expressions for each character in the movie. Sabrina Martinez, the producer, has hundreds of upper and lower facial expressions to be used with the animated characters. Important to the characters is the costume designer, Patricia Walton. An interesting feature of the costumes is that they must be moveable and that creates a challenge of its own. She said they are currently doing the voice overs right now as well as some filming. Sabrina also has a team of artists and modelers to create the backdrop scenes. It will take about 14 months to complete the filming (digitally) and editing of the movie. Now you know what is going on at the Rivoli Theater.
