The great gift of liberty

FREE

Renegades and Rebels takes a fresh look at American History By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily Local TV personality Stan Ellsworth says that freedom "is the hope of every human heart and the birthright of every American." He believes those of us who enjoy this great gift and common culture have a sacred obligation to remember and treasure our history. The "American Ride" host is working on new projects to help give the next generation "a clear understanding of the great gift of liberty and the blessing that is theirs." His new book, "Renegades and Rebels", tells "true stories of the firebrands and philosophers of American Independence." The book is available on Amazon. Ellsworth said his desire to write this

book stemmed from the way he's seen "the founding generation being marginal-

The Candy Bomber still inspires hope dropping sweet treats By Becca Baggaley for Serve Daily The Berlin Candy Bomber, Gail S. Halvorsen, has been busy dropping “Candy Bombs” to raise money for the new Civil Air Patrol’s Gail Halvorsen Aviation Education Center. He will be meeting friends new and old and dropping “Candy Bombs” at the Spanish Fork Airport (2050 N. 300 W.) at 10 a.m. on Saturday,

July 7. The event is being held to raise awareness for our goal to build the Gail S Halvorsen Aviation Education Center. Come and bring the family (and camp chairs to sit on) and join us for the preshow entertainment at 9:15, followed by the candy drop by Gail at 10:00 am. Afterward, depending on how our favorite 97 1/2-year-old is feeling, there will be an opportunity to meet Gail and have your picture taken with him.

ized and denigrated" in the way history is being viewed and taught in schools today. "It concerns me," he said. Ellsworth said the revolutionary thing about the United States of America was that it was founded on an idea, not a location, culture or political figure. "No other nation was founded that way," he said. "Thomas Jefferson said our rights were endowed by the creator, not the government. It's a set of ideals and dream unique in history." Growing up in Manassas, Virginia, near an important civil war battlefield, Ellsworth always had a strong sense of American History and the role his ancestors played in the events that shaped our nation. "I want to instill that curiosity in every American's heart," he said. Ellsworth finds that most people know only a fraction of the past events that have

shaped our lives today. There is much more we could find out about our country and the area we live in. Ellsworth said though Utah County locals may know a lot about the pioneers, many people don't have a sense of the importance of the area to the fur trade. "The first white folks that got into the great basin were the hunters and trappers," he said. "(John Jacob) Astor's group had a fort on the western shores of Utah Lake." The maps and writings that came from the traders were used by the pioneers as a foundation for their exploration and settlement. In addition to "American Ride" his popular television show on BYUTV, Ellsworth has created a radio program "History, Harleys and the Highway". The 2-hour radio show is about historical events that have modern-day relevance. 2 The Candy Bomber, Gail Halvorsen, and Utah Senator Mike Lee ready for a candy drop.

This year, Community Action Services and Food Bank is partnering with CenturyLink for its annual Campaign to Fight Hunger, June 4-15. During this fundraising drive, the company will match donations up to $1 million. Nonprofits around the U.S. participate in the fundraiser, which last year raised more than $900,000 from community members and employees for food banks in CenturyLink communities. The CenturyLink Foundation then matched that amount. Since 2009, CenturyLink has donated more than 56 million pounds of food because of the drive. The company started the fundraiser in 1999, which is held during the first two weeks of June every year. "More than 13 percent of Utah County residents are food insecure, including more than 29,000 children," said W. Dave Smith, Food Bank Manager. "These fam-

ilies rely on school meal programs for their children, but during the summer those may not be available. So we need to ensure our food pantry is stocked to help these families fill that gap—and this drive will help significantly." To donate and have your donation benefit Community Action Services and Food Bank—and matched by CenturyLink—go to https://donate.networkforgood.org/centurylink starting June 4.

Payson Interfaith Council celebrates new status By Miriam Hawkes Boatright for Serve Daily Payson’s Interfaith Council meets every month, but the meeting on June 26th was historic. After serving the community for several years the council is now an official nonprofit organization with 501c3 status. The Interfaith Council sponsors and plans the annual Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast during September’s Onion Days and raises funds each February for Payson’s Helping Hands Coalition. With the new legal status, the council can stretch Payson citizens’ generous donations and service even farther as they try to relieve suffering and strengthen families.

In addition to raising funds for charity, the council wants to improve advertising options for each of the different churches to share their needs, news, and service events so those who might not be aware of them can be better neighbors. Watch for more opportunities in this cooperative effort, where the strength of people working together is so much greater than anyone standing alone. The Interfaith Council wants support from people of all faiths, or no faith. Currently, five different denominations participate on the Council: San Andres Catholic Parish (with the Knights of Columbus), Hope Baptist Church, Payson Bible Church, Christian Life Assembly of God, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Springville pioneer stories now online By Judy Elsner for Serve Daily

Lights! Camera! Action! These words were being heard at the Springville Pioneer Museum (sponsored by the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers). Pioneer histories and stories were being told and filmed to share and preserve those stories of the pioneers who first settled the Springville and Mapleton area. This project was made possible by a grant from the Springville City Arts Commission. High school students, Lauren Whiting and Brendan Murphy did the filming to help bring these pioneers to life and preserve local history. “So Our Children May Know”. The following stories were told: George “ Beefsteak” Harrison; The Story of Benjamin Freeman Bird; Mary Jane Chase Finley; James Buchanan Porter and wife Mary Ann Leslie; Eliza McDonald Clyde; John Sanderson Groes-

beck Family; Robert Alexander Hutchinson. These films were added to the three films from the 2017 Film Festival: The First Eight (the first eight families to officially settle the Springville area); Life of Cynthia Davis Clyde; and How the Halls Came to Springville. A special thank-you is given to those who shared their ancestor’s stories and to all those who made this project possible. Susan Bartholomew, Pioneer Museum Director, extends an invitation to the public to stop into the museum to view these films and other interesting exhibits. These films can also be seen on the YouTube Springville Pioneers Channel. After you have watched them you might be inspired to record your own family history. The DUP sponsored Pioneer Museum and the Springville Historical Society is located at 175 So. Main Street. The museum is opened on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 1-4 p.m. Admission is free. You can call 801-491-2076 for further information.

Your Light International donates family portraits By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily Family photos are treasured keepsakes. Your Light International aims to support families by providing professional portraits to preserve family stories and culture. The volunteer group of photographers was started by Anna Harrison 3 years ago. "I’m a photographer and several years ago I was in a rut and feeling dissatisfied," she said. "I wanted to do it for families who would truly appreciate having that gift of a photo." Harrison had previously spent some time living in the developing country of Armenia. Many of the people there had nothing more than their passport photos and after a loved one passed away, they would hang that photo on the wall. "I imagined how happy they would be to have a beautiful family photo to hang up, to have pride in, to hold onto. I came to feel that a simple, nice, family photo is something that every person should have," she said. Harrison researched to see if there was any organizations like that she could join, and found out there was a gap in this area. While some organizations worked with hospitals to provide photos of stillborn babies or kids with a terminal illness, no one was focusing on family photos. Harrison partnered with and was mentored by another Utah photographer, Chris Dickenson, and Your Light Interna-

tional was born. Your Light International partners with different organizations to reach those families that may not be able to afford the high sitting fees of a family portrait session. Harrison said this includes more families than you would think. Local photographers volunteer their time and equipment to take family photos at Your Light International and partner events. Photographers take their time with the families involved to make it a good experience that never feels cheap or rushed. They often engage the children by letting them take some pictures of their parents. Harrison remembered one mother who got emotional just watching her daughters take pictures of each other and being showed so much kindness. Other tearful parents have expressed gratitude for getting a picture of their whole family together. She has often received thanks from someone whose family member has passed away. They say the photos her organization took are the only ones they have with that person. Your Light International gives each family a printed 8x10 and a disc of all of the other images, which the photographers also volunteer their time to edit. "It's not a little thing," Harrison said. "You have to focus on the basic needs but it’s nice to be able to provide a little bit more, to say, 'This matters too and you’re worth it.'" Your Light International relies fully on volunteer photographers to get their work

Harrison said they thank their volunteers by providing free photography workshops and get-togethers for volunteer photographers. The charity also relies on donations for printing supplies, to book places for events, and to provide snacks for their photographers while working. In the past they have worked with the several charities and organizations to provide photo shoots around the state.

Harrison hopes to expand to surrounding states and is working on partnering with another charity organization to accompany them and take family photos in the Philippines next year. To get involved, visit YourLightInternational.org. Harrison believes everyone has the chance to make a difference. "It's powerful if we look at the talents we do have. Even if we think there’s no way to give back with that there is."

Children enjoy getting wet at a splash pad.

By Joseph Capell for Serve Daily [WARNING: Here comes an old man rant!] These kids today are so spoiled. Back in my day, if it was hot, do you know what we could do? Sweat. We could sweat. Maybe we could find some shade under a tree so we could sweat a little less. Or, if we were really lucky we might talk Mom into letting us drag a hose out onto the lawn, attach a sprinkler, and run through it. Do kids today have to beg for a hose and a sprinkler? No. They can just go to a splash pad! What's a splash pad, you ask? (If you're asking that, you really need to get out more.) A splash pad is a park that contains some combination of fountains, streams, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, showers, and sprinklers for kids to run through on hot, sunny days. The splash pads they have for kids today are amazing, and they're getting more intricate with each passing day. It used to be a splash pad was just a few fountains spewing water up into the air, but now they're even more elaborate with things like a "lazy river," where you don't even

have to walk, you just sit and float through all the splashing. There are so many fun and creative ways to get wet now that a kid may never need to be dry again! These days there's a splash pad in almost every town. All you have to do is show up to a park with a splash pad and unleash your kids on it. You'll need to be sure you packed some towels, and some sunscreen, and some water bottles for hydration since you can't actually drink any of the splash pad water because, well, kids have been standing in it and some of those kids have bodily fluids they don't completely know how to control. So, yes, splash pads can be fun, but no, you shouldn't drink the water. Back when I was a kid, we had no qualms about unhooking the sprinkler and drinking straight from the hose. Sometimes we'd even put our mouth right on the actual end of the hose. Usually, the water would be a little warm, but we didn't mind because it was water. And none of us died from it. (That I know of.) And when we were done drinking from the hose and running through the sprinkler, we'd go find the shade from a big tree and sweat a little more.

My Story Matters is just getting started My Story Matters is dedicated to seeking out and sharing stories of the heroes around us. In our short six years, we’ve told 2,000 stories and we’re just getting started! My Story Matters has served children in refugee communities, disability centers, hospitals, homeless shelters, schools and more. We can’t wait to continue to expand and further our reach for many years to come. We are developing a curriculum to meet the demand for more children to be impacted. As teachers use this curriculum they will be able to help their students catch the vision and empowerment of the power of story. We recently held a curriculum day in Utah County with teachers and administrators to discuss the objectives of this model. By equipping students with tools to discover their own stories and the power gained in telling and sharing them, students will be better prepared to face the challenges and victories of life. The impact this would bring to schools could be global, and would help students develop strong self-efficacy attributes. Chris Crandall a first grade teacher from Northridge Elementary in Orem, UT was able to participate in our curriculum day. Crandall said, “Amy and the team

at ‘My Story Matters’ have done an incredible job of helping kids and teenagers preserve and share their special story. The fact is, all stories matter, so the next step is to put this opportunity into the schools, where every child can create, edit, record and even share his or her own life story. It validates who they are, what they’ve been through and that they matter. “Receiving a published book is definitely celebrated, but there is also great power and value in the process. At all ages, kids are going to motivated to engage in deeper thinking, collaboration, and evolve as writers, as they develop and document their story. It’s a standard that’s already in the curriculum – to write a personal narrative or a narrative using real events – and 'My Story Matters' with the 'My Hero Journey' resources gives educators and students a powerful and meaningful way to do that.” We are grateful for all the educators who are helping us create this program. Crandall also shares, “Like you and many others, I too am greatly concerned about the increase and impact of bullying and suicides that are taking place in our schools and in our communities. I have no doubt that at students go through this process of writing their story with ‘My Hero Journey’, bridges will be built, lives will be validated and become even more meaningful, and differences will become empowering.

GINNY’S GENEALOGICAL GEMS

Calendar changes affect genealogists By Ginny Ackerson for Serve Daily

Did you know that the calendar we use is not the same calendar that your ancestors used? Have you run into dates in your research that just don’t make sense? It may be because of the change in calendars. Calendars and the calculation of time have been influenced over the years by different cultures and beliefs. Because of this, dates are not uniform and have changed as a result of morphing political powers and cultural transformation. This affects genealogists because dates changed when calendars did. The Julian calendar was introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 B.C.E. Before the Julian calendar was introduced, priests in the Roman Empire exploited the calendar for political ends, inserting days and even months into the calendar to keep the politicians they favored in office. Tired of the chaos that this undependable system eventually gave rise to, Julius Caesar determined to put the long-abused calendar in order. The Julian calendar is still in use in some countries today but has been replaced by the Gregorian calendar. The Gregorian calendar was proposed by Aloysius Lilius, a physician, and sanctioned by Pope Gregory XIII to correct

for errors in the Julian Calendar. It was decreed by the Pope in a papal bull on February 24, 1582. Though Pope Gregory's reform was enacted in the Catholic Church, the bull had no authority beyond the Catholic Church and the Papal States. The changes which he was proposing were changes to the civil calendar over which he had no authority. The changes required adoption by the civil authorities in each country to have legal effect. Most Catholic countries adopted the new calendar in the 1580s but it took until 1929 before the majority of the world had accepted it. This can cause confusion to a researcher because people can appear to die before they were born, or in Orthodox countries, they may have two different birth dates! Different areas in what is now the United States changed at different times. The Eastern seaboard (which includes Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North and South Carolina and Georgia) changed in September of 1752. The Mississippi valley changed in December 1582. Texas, Florida, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico changed in October 1582. Washington and Oregon adopted the new calendar in 1752. Alaska did not switch over until October 1867 when it became part of the USA.

By Jesse Fisher for Serve Daily Early LDS leaders taught that the New Jerusalem Zion would be built before Christ makes his triumphant return. Some of us (or our children) will be called upon to assist in building the New Jerusalem Zion society. Will we be ready? What can we do to better prepare ourselves and our posterity for that honor? It proved an insurmountable challenge for the early Utah Saints to remain on the Celestial level economically. Within 2 years of Brigham Young organizing all the members into United Orders, well over 90% of those orders failed. As a group, they were unable to successfully make the transition in one generation from the Telestial-level economics of dog-eat-dog competitive Free Enterprise to the Celestial-level Law of Consecration and Stewardship. Aware of their challenge to successfully transition, how can we improve our chances that we can one day permanently cross that chasm between the Telestial and Celestial-level economic cultures? Utah's own history shows the way. Clearly, the early Saints needed a stepping stone to help them make the transition. Early Church leaders taught that co-operatives were that stepping stone to Zion's economic system. To assist the body of the Church in making the transition, the Brethren called on them to fully embrace Cooperative Free Enterprise, or “Cooper-

ation” as they called it. In cooperatives, the point is not for a few business owners to get rich, but to spread economic benefit among everyone who participates in the business. They taught that cooperation would help the Saints acquire two of the three attributes of a Zion society mentioned by the Lord in Moses 7 – to become “of one heart and one mind” and to achieve “no poor among them” status. We today can increase our capacity to live in a Zion culture by participating in that same “stepping stone to the Order of Enoch”, and we don't even need to wait to be commanded! We can choose to do so under D&C 57's good-things-of-theirown-will clause. We can do it by following Lorenzo Snow's strategy that yielded remarkable results in making Brigham City into a world-renown example of Cooperative Free Enterprise in the 1870s. Here’s how he did it: 1. Established a single cooperative general store. 2. The profits were used to establish new cooperatives to manufacture consumer goods that otherwise had to be imported. 3. Each new cooperative sold its goods through the original co-op store. Today, I and some fellow “Zionists” are taking baby steps to revive Elder Snow's strategy, but we're doing it online. We expect it will eventually help those involved to prepare to live higher-level economics in anticipation of the day when the Lord calls the Church to build the official Zion society in Jackson County.

Recently, my wife was cleaning out the house of a loved one in preparation for sale after it was determined the owner would need to move to an assisted-care facility. During this, she came across a calendar with X’s indicating days past. However, the last day “Xed out” was October 13, 2013. That was the day life “as he knew it” changed for the hardest working man I’ve ever known. After working in the yard all day the day before, he felt more tired and weak than usual- probably a little dehydrated, he surmised. His wife suspected something was wrong and tried to convince him to go the urgent care to get checked out. He didn’t want the expense. She asked him to let her call a doctor in their ward. He didn’t want to bother anyone. Instead, he went to bed early and over the next eight hours of sleep, the stroke he was experiencing destroyed the use of the left side of his body. He woke unable to move in a coordinated way. Within a short time, he lost the ability to speak or swallow. Extensive therapy eventually returned his speech and ability to swallow, but his left limbs remain almost completely nonfunctioning. The simplest trip to the restroom is exhausting and many functions require assistance. Active life, as he knew it had ended, and he now wishes life as he now knows it would. Delay in health care because of concern for cost or reluctance to bother anyone is very common among the older generations. Often, they have put off health care in the past without serious consequence and may feel the latest feeling of fatigue, dizziness, or weakness may also pass. But stroke will not pass and the expense and bother the victim was so concerned about will multiply exponentially. Miracle “clot buster” drugs and procedures can stop a stroke’s destruction, but only within the first 3-4 hours. Know and HEED the warning signs of stroke: 1. Sudden, severe “thunderclap” headache, possibly the worst you’ve ever had. 2. Sudden vision impairment; double vi-

sion, blurriness, loss of vision 3. Confusion, disorientation, confused conversation 4. Sudden weakness in an arm or leg or both arms and legs 5. Dizziness, loss of balance, possibly with nausea 6. Pain is not a typical stroke symptom, but sudden pain in one limb, one side of the chest, or one side of the face should be cause for concern. 7. Sudden one-sided facial weakness and droop on one side. 8. Sudden fatigue and weakness 9. Sudden, unexplained hiccups can result from a stoke affecting the brain’s breathing center. 10. Sudden breathlessness or heart palpitations. Know the F.A.S.T method of field stroke assessment: F: Face- Ask the person to smile or show his/her teeth. Do the corners of the mouth rise equally or does one side droop. One-sided facially weakness and droop are strong indicators of stroke. A: Arms- Lift the person’s arms to chest level (straight out) and direct them to hold them there without looking at them as you release them. One arm drifting down is a strong indicator of stroke. S: Speech- Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase and watch for slurring and correct repeat of the phrase. T: Time – Time is of the essence. If there is any possible suspicion of stroke, DO NOT “wait a little while to see if it passes.” Call 911. Do not worry about bothering us at SEMA (Salem Ambulance). We, like many of the South Utah County EMS agencies, are volunteers who aren’t in this for the money. We are in it for the times we can make a difference in someone’s life. We’d rather be “bothered” 100 times for one chance to part of the medical miracle of rapid stroke assessment and treatment than not be “bothered” while we did something less important.

EDUCATION

Grants awarded by the Nebo Education Foundation By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily

The Nebo Education Foundation is composed of 20 volunteer board members who live in cities serviced by Nebo School District. Board members meet each month to review and award grant requests, consider fund-raising avenues and other items that advance the educational opportunities for Nebo School District students. Many of the donations received are for selected projects, yet a substantial amount is available for the greatest need. Greatest need monies are considered for grants submitted by area schools. "The Nebo Education Foundation couldn't fund these grants without the tremendous support we receive from the Green Fever golf tournament, business partners, and individual donors. Thank you for the generosity of our community. The students in Nebo District have a more enhanced education than they would otherwise receive. We are grateful for all the good we see happening as a result of all those who support the Nebo Education Foundation," said executive director Lana Hiskey. Congratulations to the following teachers that continue to inspire the minds of students.

Salem Hills High – Kacie Bosone Kacie Bosone, teacher at Salem Hills High, said, “My Latinos in Action club recently received a grant for a portable speaker through your foundation. It will be used for our lunchtime socials we hold each month. Music is an important part of the success for these socials because it brings so many peers together and is a proven tool to combat stress. The socials have become a well-known function that students look forward to. With the purchase of our own portable speaker, we plan to hold even more activities to pro-

mote mental health and create unity within our school. Everything is better with music!” Rees Elementary – Annette Harvey “Thank you so much for the grant for technology! This will be amazing! My students use iPod Shuffles daily to listen to fluent reading, which will encourage their own fluent reading. It also gives them the opportunity to read several different authors. This is so great! exclaimed Annette Harvey, first-grade teacher at Rees Elementary. Cherry Creek Elementary – Cheryl Nielson Cheryl Nielson, sixth-grade teacher at Cherry Creek, said, “I am thrilled to be receiving this grant on behalf of my students to enhance their educational experience in my classroom. Though seemingly simple, these headphones will make a world of difference to my students who have autism or other sensory issues. The headphones I am purchasing have moderate noise canceling capability so that these students are not disturbed by outside noise as they try to focus on their work. To students with other disabilities, the embedded microphone will facilitate their becoming better writers of literary and persuasive essays because they can focus on the content of their essays instead of on the difficulties they have typing. Additionally, the microphone included will enable all my 6th graders to integrate reading fluency, higher-order thinking, and cross-curricular connections as they create self-narrated multi-media presen-

tations. Again, thank you for supporting the students of Nebo School District, and specifically my class, with your generosity.” Oakridge – Candi Bown “I can't thank the foundation enough for accepting this request. This money is going to go towards loaner hearing aids for hearing impaired children. Hearing aids, like anything else, have a tendency to break down once in a while and need to be sent in for repair. It is imperative that they don't have downtime listening in the classroom. To get a hearing aid back from repair can be up to two weeks which could be crucial learning time. This way they are assured that even though their own hearing aid is broken I can fit them with one during the time theirs is getting repaired. I will also be using these for students who are newly identified as hearing impaired. Last year during our routine hearing screening we found 7 kids in September and October who needed to be fit with hearing aids for the first time. After obtaining medical clearance from an ENT I can fit them with hearing aids until they can find funding for their which can be very expensive. The other thing I am using this money and the matching funds from the special education department is for mini mics for several of our students with cochlear implants. This will enable them to get direct audio input from the teacher to their cochlear implants. They can also connect to their chrome books and iPad's via blue-tooth. This will provide them with greater access to the curriculum. This money will help many kids over the years, and I can't thank you enough for your generosity.” said Candi Bown, district audiologist.” East Meadows Elementary – Natalie Mecham First-grade team at East Meadows Elementary stated, “Thank you for the grant for headphones. These will be a great help to assist the students in using the Imagine Learning program. The students will be able to record themselves and listen to their reading. Thank you for your generosity!” Sage Creek Elementary – Angie Hartung & Makenna Taylor “We are so excited to be granted this amazing opportunity to pur- 13

12 chase Chromebooks for our classes. These Chromebooks will benefit our students in so many incredible ways. Third grade Is the first time students are really exposed to Chromebooks, and to have them in our classes will provide our students the chance to learn about technology and the importance it has on our community. We plan to use these Chromebooks on a daily basis with our students,” said Makenna and Angie, third-grade teachers at Sage Creek. Canyon Elementary – Kalani Reed Kalani Reed, facilitator at Canyon Elementary, said, “Thank you so much!! I am so excited about this grant. Bee-Bots are a great way for students to be engaged in their learning. With Bee-Bots students can learn to program, sequence and problem solve in a fun and engaging way. Students program the Bee-Bots to complete certain tasks. This can be done with tasks card that students input the information and the Bee-Bot runs the program. Students learn sequencing by programming a certain order of tasks. Students will problem solve by looking at a map and decide how to program a Bee-Bot to complete a path. I am hoping to have upper-grade students learn to use the Bee-Bots so they can teach the younger grade students how to use them.” Larsen Elementary – Heide Taylor “Thank you to the Nebo Foundation for granting my request for new whiteboard sets for the three first grade classes. The

foundation is a great way to update materials that have been well used and are worn out. The whiteboards will be used in many ways which include word work and for assessment purposes. The Nebo Foundation has granted everything I have requested during the past few years, and I appreciate their time and efforts to help make schools great!” exclaimed Heide Taylor, first-grade teacher at Larsen Elementary. Canyon Elementary – Staci Call Staci Call, librarian at Canyon Elementary said, “Thank you so much! I am so excited and extremely grateful to be awarded $1,000 for our school library! I will use these funds along with matching school funds (PTA matching funds and funds from my library) to jump-start an easy to read non-fiction section for our lower grade levels–specifically sports, animals and science. I have had many requests for these types of books this year from the students in kindergarten and first grade. The books I will be purchasing have text that is a little larger than normal with fewer words per page so that it is not overwhelming, with large colorful pictures to help support the text. I love to see the students so excited about books and develop a love for reading at such a young age. With this grant I will be able to purchase 129 hardbound books to start this collection. I know that these books will be a wonderful addition to our school library and will benefit hundreds of stu-

BUSINESS

Nebo Comfort celebrates five years of five star service By Ashlynn Moore for Serve Daily This month marks Nebo Comfort Systems’ 5th anniversary in business. They’re excited to look back, see how much they’ve grown and reflect on how much they’ve enjoyed working with and in the community. “This is what I’ve been doing most of my life,” said Robert Moore, President of Nebo Comfort Systems. “It means the world to me that our customers have trusted us to keep their homes and businesses comfortable.” It was scary in 2013 when Robert’s mom retired and closed Moore Sheet Metal. Their family’s heating and air conditioning company had been serving customers throughout Utah for over 40 years. Encouraged by his family and several customers, who told Robert they would follow him anywhere he went, Robert decided to continue the family tradition by opening Nebo Comfort Systems.

Nebo Comfort Systems celebrates 5 years in business. With over 100 heating and air conditioning contractors in the valley, Nebo Comfort Systems knew right away they needed to set themselves apart. “So many companies think of customer

service as something that just comes with being in business. We know it is the absolute lifeblood of our business,” said Lorene Moore, Marketing Director for Nebo Comfort Systems. “We love getting calls from our customers thanking us for the excellent service we’ve given them and telling us how helpful everyone was from the techs to the office staff. That really means a lot to us.” Nate Moller, owner of Web801.com said, “Nebo Comfort Systems has been awesome to work with. They installed a tankless water heater for us, and while doing so, found out that our home had been set up wrong from when it was first built. Robert and Josh helped me talk with the city and get everything figured out. I have loved working with Nebo Comfort and look forward to referring them to all my friends who need help with their heating and cooling systems.” That attention to customer service has earned Nebo Comfort Systems a Hall of Fame full of awards, including Business of the Month and Business of the Year from the Payson/Santaquin are chamber of commerce, Dave Lennox Distinguished Service awards, Community Service awards and Best of Utah Valley awards two years in a row. “We try to look at each award as a call to action,” noted Robert Moore. “We can’t get too comfortable with our success, it’s the customer's job to be com-

fortable and our job to get them there. We want to make sure every customer experiences us at our best.” Stacey Petersen said, "I’ve been a customer of Nebo Comfort Systems for over three years. They replaced my furnace and AC and are one of the rare companies who understands my boiler system. I love that not only is my money is staying local but you can’t beat the high quality conscientious, neighborly style. If I ever move, I’m taking Nebo Comfort Systems with me." Another way Nebo Comfort Systems works to set themselves apart from the competition is to always keep up to date on the latest rebates, tax credits and incentives for high-efficiency equipment. “A lot of customers are surprised at how economical it is to go with high-efficiency equipment,” Robert Moore stated. “Rebates and tax credits can help with a lot of the upfront costs. Then you get to enjoy years of savings on your utility bills. It’s a win-win.” When the Moore family started their business, they also wanted to have a vehicle to give back to the community. Nebo Cares, the charitable branch of the business, has raised donations for the Utah Food Bank, American Cancer Society, the Payson Veteran’s Home, Shop with a Cop, ALS and many other programs. But everybody’s favorite program is their Book Club for kids at local elementary schools. Each month the Nebo Comfort team puts down their tools and goes to local elementary schools to read books. Then every child in each of the classes goes home with their own copy of the book. “It’s so much fun when I am in the store and kids come running up to hug me. They call me the book lady,” said Lorene Moore. “That is as much a gift for me as the books are for the kids.” Since an anniversary is only as good as the people you share it with. Nebo Comfort Systems wants to say thank you to everyone who has made their 5th Anniversary possible with two Anniversary Specials. Call 801-465-2709 today to wish the team Happy Anniversary for $25 off any repair or $500 back on the installation of any Whole Home Comfort System.

Territory Land Real Estate holds its grand opening

Territory Land Real Estate held a ribbon cutting and grand opening in June.

By Shirlene Jordan for Serve Daily The Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce that longstanding Real Estate Broker, Sharee Killpack, opened her new office in Springville, during Springville’s Annual Art City Days Celebration. Sharee is the principal real estate broker and owner of Territory Land Real Estate (TLRE) and renowned real estate expert in Utah County. She was excited to announce the grand opening and the ribbon cutting that took place on Friday, June 6. Doors officially opened Saturday, June 9, and the hours of operation will be from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sharee, a long time resident and business owner in the Springville and Mapleton area and has established herself as a key player and local real estate icon in the Utah County Real Estate sector. Her savvy business sense and commitment to community involvement has ingrained her into the hearts of all who have worked and served with her. In 2006 she became the principal broker of TLRE — taking over from its previous owner, Winon Killpack. Her Grandmother-in-law sold real estate for many years in Emery County

where she and her husband resided after moving from Springville. While in Springville, Mr. Bennie Killpack taught and coached Springville High School basketball. Currently, Sharee has four agents working under her at TLRE and is looking for young and energetic agents who are excited to make a difference in the real estate world.

Coin Crazy bringing virtual reality, real fun to South Utah County By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily After ten years of wanting to start a business together, brothers Paul and John Snyder have finally realized their dream. Coin Crazy Family Fun Center, on 1024 Expressway Lane in Spanish Fork, will open its doors this August. After moving around quite a bit in their childhoods, John and Paul settled down here in Utah and have been raising their families in Springville and Mapleton for nearly two decades. Noticing there was a dearth of opportunities of this kind for families on this end of the county, John, and Paul, who owns Snyder Drywall, started formulating ideas for a remedy. After the company John worked as vice president for was sold last year, the Snyders knew it was time to take the plunge and build Coin Crazy. John says, “We love south Utah County and the feel of community in the area. We are so excited to start this business where we live and bring the community we love a fun, family-oriented entertainment.” Coin Crazy is 12,000 square feet, with

party rooms, a laser tag arena, Hologate Virtual Reality, a pizza and snack bar parlor, and a video game and redemption area. There are plans to expand in the near future. The arcade area will have the latest games and be based off a nickel credit system to keep things affordable. They will be using convenient cards that will hold both credits and redemption tickets instead of actual nickels, which can jam up the machines. The laser tag area is 3400 square feet of all new equipment and the latest, interactive technology. John explains how unique it is: “We have teamed up with industry-leading companies to create a one-of-a-kind laser tag experience. As you start, you will be head into a city, via subway, that after a cataclysmic event has been abandoned except for rogue bands of invaders. We need your help to regain control!” There are plans to create a laser tag league, but multiple game modes, including multi-player and free-for-all, are available. The virtual reality option has received a lot of excitement and attention. ”Hologate is pure awesomeness. It is a four-play-

SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans Small nonfarm businesses in 15 Utah counties are now eligible to apply for low-interest federal disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration, announced Director Tanya N. Garfield of SBA’s Disaster Field Operations Center-West. These loans offset economic losses because of reduced revenues caused by drought in the following primary counties that began April 15, 2018. Primary Utah counties: Duchesne, Tooele and Uintah; Neighboring Utah counties: Box Elder, Carbon, Daggett, Davis, Emery, Grand, Juab, Salt Lake, Summit, Utah, Wasatch and Weber. “SBA eligibility covers both the economic impacts on businesses dependent on farmers and ranchers that have suffered agricultural production losses caused by the disaster and businesses directly impacted by the disaster,” Garfield said. Small nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private

nonprofit organizations of any size may qualify for Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have been met had the disaster not occurred. “Eligibility for these loans is based on the financial impact of the disaster only and not on any actual property damage. These loans have an interest rate of 3.58 percent for businesses and 2.5 percent for private nonprofit organizations, a maximum term of 30 years and are available to small businesses and most private nonprofits without the financial ability to offset the adverse impact without hardship,” Garfield said. Applicants may apply online, receive additional disaster assistance information and download applications at https:// disasterloan.sba.gov/ela. Applicants may also call SBA’s Customer Service Center at (800) 659-2955 or email disastercustomerservice@sba.The deadline to apply for economic injury is Feb. 15, 2019.

Miss Amazing Junior Teen Queen By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily Spanish Fork resident, fourteen-yearold Ashlyn Jackman, was crowned Utah’s Miss Amazing Junior Teen Queen on April 14 of this year in Bountiful. The pageant promotes self-esteem in women and girls who have a disability. Sixty competitors from around the state were involved. Ashlyn, a sophomore at Maple Mountain High School and daughter of Heidi and Aaron Jackman, has a long list of hobbies, including music, dance, being around friends and her four siblings, horseback riding, soccer, basketball, knee boarding, writing and traveling. Ashlyn wanted to do the pageant not only because she enjoys dressing up and getting her hair done, but because she loves meeting and talking with people. For the pageant, she was interviewed by several judges, introduced herself onstage, was presented in evening wear, and performed a talent with her older sister— dancing to the song “Sisters” from the movie White Christmas. Wowing the judges, she was crowned the Queen in her division. After winning, a surprised Ashlyn said, “I didn’t think it would be me. I am so shocked! All of the girls in the pageant are so special. They are all queens and I will try to be the best queen that I can be!”

This feeling of goodwill towards others will serve her well August 3rd through the 6th as she competes in the National Miss Amazing pageant in Chicago. There is a lot she must do to prepare, including performing 250 hours of volunteer service and participating in fundraisers. Getting ready for the competition events themselves will take a lot of time, as will finding clothing to wear for the evening wear presentation, the gala, a pajama party with the other contestants and their “buddies,” and the interviews. Participating in the national event requires a lot of money. It costs $2500 for Ashlyn and her mother to go and around $5000 for her father and siblings to attend and cheer her on. The community has already responded to help. Savers, Cowboy Donuts, and Panda Express have all lent support. There will be a Spanish Fork Chik Fil A fundraiser (825 US-6) on July 11th, Ashlyn’s birthday, from 5-8 p.m. Ashlyn will get 15% of sales if you mention you are there for “Ashlyn’s Spirit Night.” Get a car wash at the Spanish Fork Wiggy Wash (794 S. Main St.) on July 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Ashlyn and her friends will hand dry your car for $3 plus tips. She will get to keep any money they make from hand drying and tips. The easiest and best way to donate is to visit donate.missamazing.org/fundraiser/1429818. This method will ensure 100% of the donation will be given to

Chairbound Fisherman; Young and Older By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily Whether you’re 12 or 54, life in a wheelchair obviously has its challenges and even more so if you want to go fishing. To provide wheelchair access for fishing the Utah Chairbound Sportsman Organization arranged for a pontoon boat that accommodates wheelchairs. A special fishing trip to Strawberry Reservoir took place on Saturday, June 9, for a special group of physically challenged people. The morning of the trip weather could not have been better and it was going to be a great day. A 35’ pontoon boat, Freedoms Dream, belongs to a companion organization to the Chairbound Sportsman, a group known as Hand to Hand Outdoors/American Heroes. The Captain of this boat was Brent Croxford, and his 1st mate was his son. Brent spends the entire summer in his camper at Strawberry and offers fishing trips 6 days a week for veterans, wounded warriors, and disabled persons by reservation. Brent said he knows where the fish are and that proved to be true because the fish limit for the boat was caught by 11:10. The youngster on the boat was 12-yearold Missy Cowley who is in a wheelchair because of SBifidaifida, a birth defect. She had an amazing experience and

caught the first fish of the day and the most fish for any individual. Missy’s father and mother where on the fishing trip with her. Missy is an aspiring sportsman and has passed her Utah State Hunter Safety Course and is looking forward to joining the Chairbound Sportsman for a turkey hunt or a Corsican ram sheep hunt. Fifty-four-year-old Clint Robinson rode rodeo for 7 years before he broke his neck at the age of 23. This was his third fishing trip with the Chairbound Sportsman. Clint caught his share of fish and he is looking forward to the next fishing trip he can go on. He is also looking forward to a Chairbound Sportsman hunting trip. It is a pretty amazing group of people that put these handicapped sporting events together. Also on this special fishing trip was 15-year-old Dallas Gilbert-Branin who has Duchene Muscular Dystrophy. Dallas’s mother and two sisters joined him on the fishing trip. All of them caught their share of fish and contributed to the joy of this beautiful day. Dallas and volunteer Todd Lobato cleaned most of the 48 fish brought back to the dock. Kenneth Vaughn of the Chairbound Sportsman had made sandwiches with all the accessories for everyone to have a great lunch. Several prizes were given out and

State Championship week draws hundreds of trapshooters to Spanish Fork Gun Club

The exhilarating setting at Spanish Fork Gun Club attracts shooters from all over North America to the annual Utah State Trapshooting Championship, held this year on June 23.

By Gary Brodeur for Serve Daily Hundreds of shotgunners converged on Spanish Fork in late June for the Utah State Trapshooting Championship, bringing sporting camaraderie to town and contributing untold dollars to the local economy. The 104th edition of the annual event was hosted June 20-24 at Spanish Fork Gun Club. The club maintains a renowned hillside trapshooting range in the Spanish Oaks area, adjacent to the Spanish Oaks Reservoir. “It’s a competitive son-of-a-gun,” said Ronald Sellers, of Bountiful. “You need to break ’em all. And then there’s a shootoff.” Sellers, the director of the Utah Trapshooting Hall of Fame, brought his museum-on-wheels to share with the trapshooting community. Twelve events filled the five days, and recognition was won for High Overall Score and High All-Around Score. Class AA shooter Sean Hawley, of Vernal, posted High Overall with a score of 1285, and High All-Around with 398. Scores of 200 were shot by four competitors in the Utah State Singles Championship on June 23: Hawley, Justin D. Sloan, Roger M. Stitt and Joe Sudbury Sr.

Title rounds on June 24 were shot for Utah State Doubles Championship, with a top score of 99 posted by Class AA competitors Hawley and Sharrod T. Oaks, and the Utah State Handicap Championship was claimed by Hawley, with a score of 99. All scores from the competition are available at trapshooting.com, within the Shoot Scores drop-down header in the Forums ribbon menu. Sloan, the Utah State Trapshooting Association president, said the annual event promotes gun safety and provides an introduction to the sport of trapshooting and the local gun clubs that host it. “I try to support them all,” Sloan, of Riverton, said. “That’s my job.” Mike Stuart, head coach at Riverton Shooting Club, said of the State Championship, “It’s a good event for all age groups to get together.” Trapshooters and their families from beyond Utah included competitors and their families from more than 15 states and the province of Alberta, Canada. The five-day event is recognized as a valuable source of revenue by organizers and city staff members, though an estimate of its economic benefit to the community was not immediately available. Travel to and attendance at the State Championship boosts lodging, meal and fuel sales, organizers said.

“This is a very unique asset the city of Spanish Fork has that no other city has,” said club Manager Kiersten Dumas, a city employee. People come from all over to enjoy the panoramic backdrop that contains no distractions for shooters, who then put up some of the best trapshooting scores in the nation, she said. Proceeds from the event itself are slated to benefit youth shooters, according to the USTA State Championship program guide. Competitors Charlie Wachtel, 18, of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and Grayson Stuart, 13, of Riverton, agree that seeing people they’ve met over the years at other shooting competitions is a major reason

for them to attend events such as this one. “I really like meeting people, shooting and trying to do your best,” said Grayson, an Amateur Trapshooting Association All American for 2018. The son of Mike Stuart, Grayson serves as the Riverton Gun Club’s youth team captain. The team participates in Utah’s USA Youth Education in Shooting Sports, which wrapped up its competition season the previous week.

The plot is about concert pianist Duncan Latimer and his wife, Ellen, a famous soap opera star. Since they lead impeccable lives, their PR lady has no qualms having a reporter from a scandal magazine interview them. But just before he arrives, so does Dun-

can’s old navy buddy and Ellen’s former lover from her literally messy past, as well as an extra wife Duncan forgot to tell anyone about. It’s crazy and comical confusion all the way.

The Utah Scholastic Clay Target Program wraps up the season with shotguns and awards By The Utah Scholastic Clay Target Program for Serve Daily

The Utah Scholastic Clay Target Program (UTYESS) ended its season this past weekend with the Utah State Youth Championships. Youth competed in Skeet, Trap and Sporting Clays. Following the Sporting Clays competition on Sunday, June 3rd, the youth and their families gathered for free lunch, and then over 280 year-end awards were handed out totaling more than $8,000. During the 2018 target year, UTYESS saw participation from more than 160 student-athletes from all over the state ranging from fifth grade to college senior. In Utah, there are 7 official UTYESS teams supported by 10 Utah Gun Clubs from Logan to Saint George. UTYESS also invites teams from surrounding states to come and compete with Utah for Out-ofState awards. Twenty-six High School Letters representing 16 Utah High Schools were awarded as part of the USAYESS independent lettering program. To earn a letter, athletes need to maintain a pre-determined GPA in high school, maintain attendance at practices and competitions, achieve the required scores in shooting, and earn the NRA Distinguished Expert award. One-hundred-thirty-nine of the awards were part of the NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program. The courses of fire in the qualification program are designed to take shooters from begin-

ning skill levels (Pro-Marksman and Marksman) through intermediate levels (Marksman 1st Class, Sharpshooter, and Expert) up to the nationally recognized skill level and pinnacle of the program, Distinguished Expert. Jim Reardon, Utah’s Field Representative for the NRA Foundation was on hand to announce the awards and pass out various items donated by Friends of NRA. “This is why many of us support the Friends of NRA, this the future of shooting sports,” Neldon Groo, Chairman for Utah Valley Friends of NRA speaking about the number of NRA Marksmanship Qualification awards that were awarded on Sunday. UTYESS is funded in large by fundraising efforts conducted by the teams throughout the year. Perpetual funding is also available through the MidwayUSA Foundation’s Team Endowment Program. The MidwayUSA Foundation Team Endowment Program gives a community the ability to financially support a competitive youth shooting sports program. Teams grow their Team Endowment through fundraisers and donations. Thanks to generous donations from Larry and Brenda Potterfield, 100 percent of each donation goes to team endowment of a donor’s choice. Each team can then request a grant of 5 percent of their endowment balance once each year. Currently, UTYESS teams have $1.1 million in endowment accounts held at MidwayUSA Foundation, providing an annual grant of nearly $54,000.00 for Utah’s youth shooters in the UTYESS program.

Run Your Race Pacers promote mental health By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily Run Your Race Pacers is a Utah based network of runners that provide pace setters for half marathons and full marathons across Utah. Their group of 500 different runners currently pace, free of charge, in 15 different events. Typically about 25 to 40 RYR Pacers end up in each event. Founder Jorge Garcia said, "Initially I started running to support my wife. I had no idea that she was dealing with Body image issues and Body Dysmorhpia ans she was using running to control her weight and thoughts. I joined her simply to support what I thought was just the love for running. We started to pace events with another company when we decided we could offer a better family environment if we started our own pacing group.

"Run your Race" From then on we started this pacing team and have dedicated ourselves to help others "Run Their Race" As RYR Pacers have grown, they have come to focus on community and have partnered with many local organizations to use running as a vessel for good, healthy living. Garcia said they promote mental health awareness and dealing with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts.

Skyline Drive, as the name implies, is a road atop the high plateau and ridge lines of the Wasatch mountain range in central Utah. It is a graded gravel road suitable for passenger cars when the road is dry. The road winds through aspen forests as it gains altitude for spectacular views of the canyons and valleys below. This road lies within the Manti-La Sal National Forest and as described here covers the north part of Skyline Drive from US Highway 6 to Utah Highway 31. The south part of Skyline Drive requires a high clearance four-wheel drive vehicle.

The directions for the Skyline Drive begin by driving east out of Spanish Fork on US Highway 6. From the windmills to the Tie Fork Rest Area is about 22.8 miles. On up the road 1.6 miles is a turn off to the right or southbound. This was the location of the old Tucker Rest Stop before it was removed from the landscape when highway 6 was re-aligned and widened in 2009. Originally Tucker was a town site that was abandoned in 1913. As you leave Tucker the gravel road is narrow in places, and you should be cautious of opposite direction traffic. You should also plan on carrying water and lunch for an enjoyable time. If you zero

your odometer at Tucker it is about 28.6 miles to the paved highway 31. This road is also known as part of the Great Western Trail, and you will see that signage posted along the way. The road initially follows the Clear Creek drainage as it climbs to the top of the Wasatch Plateau. Wild flowers are plentiful in early spring and summer. It is also common to see deer, elk and other wild life. There are marked side roads that descend to lakes and valleys in the Lake Fork and Fish Creek drainages. It is about 28 miles to Utah Highway 31 which will take you west bound to Fairview and highway 89 and back home.

Youth shooters end season with families, friends, awards By Gary Brodeur for Serve Daily Youth shooters wrapped up their team shotgun shooting season at Spanish Fork Gun Club on Thursday, June 14, with rounds of shooting games followed by awards presentations. The Skyline X squad engages in trap, skeet and sporting clays shooting competitions against nine other youth shooting sports groups, Head Coach Jenny McGowan said. The youths, ranging in age from 10 to 20, qualify as junior shooters in nationally sanctioned competition. The season-ending gathering in June highlights friendships, family fun and scholastic progress. “The spotlight is on the kids and their achievements,” McGowan said. The youth-team members drive to Spanish Fork Gun Club from local and surrounding communities, including Pleasant Grove, Saratoga Springs and the Fairview area. One of the treasured aspects of Skyline X activities is the opportunity it affords youngsters to make new friends, said Nadine White, a parent of two participants and a volunteer coach. The regional competition includes squads from Idaho and Nevada, and the far-flung travel to meet new friends is welcomed by the Skyline X team members, she said. Shooting sports teach participants responsibility, sportsmanship, self-discipline and safety, according to shooting sports organizations. But White said the No. 1 reason stated for being part of the local squad is, “I make lots of friends.” A facet of personal growth emphasized by the youth team leaders is academic achievement. While the young members support each other in the sport through peer coaching, they also help one another in scholastics by mentoring each other, Skyline X coaches said. Brian Beard, the Skyline X co-organizer along with McGowan, said the group was founded four years ago. He is also president of the Utah Scholastic Clay Target Program. He said the 35- to 40-member Skyline X team ranks second statewide in membership after a surging Cache Valley club. Utah boasts 163 competitive youth shooters, Beard said. “We’re competing in all types of weather,” he said. Skyline X’s competition season runs November to June.

Award winners show off their trophies and celebrate with smiles at Spanish Fork Gun Club’s Skyline X youth shotgun shooting sports season-ending get-together. The entire SFGC youth program is volunteer-supported by passionate parents and gun club members. Beard spends about 25 hours a week on the program. He said the squad meets every Thursday during season, alternating between the ranges of the Spanish Fork and Provo gun clubs. The Spanish Fork Gun Club shotgun-only range is at 2912 S. Spanish Oaks Drive, Spanish Fork, within sight of Spanish Fork Reservoir and its park. The range is open from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. or more information on the gun club’s Skyline X youth shooting sports squad, visit www.facebook.com/Skylineshoot-

New Utah fossil reveals global exodus of mammals’ near relatives to major continents By Nathan Schwebach Utah Department of Natural Resources A small fossil is evidence that Earth’s ancient supercontinent, Pangea, separated some 15 million years later than previously believed. A nearly 130-million-year-old fossilized skull found in Utah is an Earth-shattering discovery in one respect. The small fossil is evidence that the super-continental split likely occurred more recently than scientists previously thought and that a group of reptile-like mammals that bridge the reptile and mammal transition experienced an unsuspected burst of evolution across several continents. “Based on the unlikely discovery of this near-complete fossil cranium, we now recognize a new, cosmopolitan group of early mammal relatives,” said Adam Huttenlocker, lead author of the study and assistant professor of clinical integrative anatomical sciences at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. The study, published in the journal Nature on May 16, updates the understanding of how mammals evolved and dispersed across major continents during the age of dinosaurs. It suggests that the divide of the ancient landmass Pangea continued for about 15 million years later than previously thought and that

mammal migration and that of their close relatives continued during the Early Cretaceous (145 to 101 million years ago). “For a long time, we thought early mammals from the Cretaceous (145 to 66 million years ago) were anatomically similar and not ecologically diverse,” Huttenlocker said. “This finding by our team and others reinforce that, even before the rise of modern mammals, ancient relatives of mammals were exploring specialty niches: insectivores, herbivores, carnivores, swimmers, gliders. Basically, they were occupying a variety of niches that we see them occupy today.” The study reveals that the early mammal precursors migrated from Asia to Europe, into North America and further onto major Southern continents, said Zhe-Xi Luo, senior author of the study and a paleontologist at the University of Chicago. Fossil find: a new species Huttenlocker and his collaborators at the Utah Geological Survey and The University of Chicago named the new species Cifelliodon wahkarmoosuch. Found in the Cretaceous beds in eastern Utah, the fossil is named in honor of famed paleontologist Richard Cifelli. The species name, “wahkarmoosuch” means “yellow cat” in the Ute tribe’s language in respect of the area where it was found.

Views of the skull of Cifelliodon, a new dinosaur species.

Scientists used high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scanners to analyze the skull. “The skull of Cifelliodon is an extremely rare find in a vast fossil-bearing region of the Western Interior, where the more than 150 species of mammals and reptile-like mammal precursors are represented mostly by isolated teeth and jaws,” said James Kirkland, study co-author in charge of the excavation and a Utah State paleontologist. With an estimated body weight of up to 2.5 pounds, Cifelliodon would seem small compared to many living mammals, but it was a giant among its Cretaceous contemporaries. A full-grown Cifelliodon was probably about the size of a small hare or pika (small mammal with rounded ears, short limbs and a very small tail). It had teeth similar to fruit-eating bats and could nip, shear and crush. It might have incorporated plants into its diet. The newly named species had a relatively small brain and giant “olfactory bulbs” to process sense of smell. The skull had tiny eye sockets, so the animal probably did not have good eyesight or color vision. It possibly was nocturnal and depended on sense of smell to root out food, Huttenlocker said. Supercontinent existed longer than

previously thought Huttenlocker and his colleagues placed Cifelliodon within a group called Haramiyida, an extinct branch of mammal ancestors related to true mammals. The fossil was the first of its particular subgroup – Hahnodontidae – found in North America. The fossil discovery emphasizes that haramiyidans and some other vertebrate groups existed globally during the Jurassic-Cretaceous transition, meaning the corridors for migration via Pangean landmasses remained intact into the Early Cretaceous. Most of the Jurassic and Cretaceous fossils of haramiyidans are from the Triassic and Jurassic of Europe, Greenland and Asia. Hahnodontidae was previously known only from the Cretaceous of Northern Africa. It is to this group that Huttenlocker argues Cifelliodon belongs, providing evidence of migration routes between the continents that are now separated in northern and southern hemispheres. “But it’s not just this group of haramiyidans,” Huttenlocker said. “The connection we discovered mirrors others recognized as recently as this year based on similar Cretaceous dinosaur fossils found in Africa and Europe.”
