Fire Season, Fireworks Season, or Both?

By Joe Capell It’s July. Does that mean it’s fire season, or fireworks season? The answer, of course, is both — and that can be a problem. We wait until July when all the weeds are dried out and everything is at peak flammability, and then we light the fuse and send exploding fire bombs up into the air. And, just in case it wasn’t quite dry enough on the Fourth of July, here in Utah we let things dry out for 20 more days and try it again. Why July? Wouldn’t it make more sense to light up the sky when the ground is covered with snow on Valentine’s Day and President’s Day? How about Thanksgiving? Wouldn’t fireworks go great with cranberry sauce? Maybe even St. Patrick’s Day, when everything is green? Nope, we insist on dry July. Fortunately, the local fire departments work hard to keep everyone safe. Most of them have restrictions set up as to where fireworks can and cannot be discharged. The problem comes when Hank down the street ignores the warnings and lights off the $60 Wal-Mart pack, or, worse See FIREWORKS page 24

Peteetneet Museum showcases community’s history By Karen L. Willoughby A three-story stone and brick building constructed in 1901 today houses the Peteetneet Museum and Cultural Arts Center. It is less a museum of Payson than it is collections of Payson residents’ memorabilia. In what for 85 years were sizable square classrooms with gleaming hardwood floors — carpeted in 1959 and now restored to their glistening maple origins — are housed more

than a million items of interest or sentimental value to Payson residents. “We’re acting like a storage house for Payson,” said Dee Stevenson, president of the Payson Historical Society and a retired educator. “When you think of this building, you think of Payson.” The Victorian/Romanesque Revival building housed generations See MUSEUM page 25

and the community that has supported our businesses since my grandfather, W.W. Clyde, started here in Springville over 90 years ago,” said Wilford Clyde, Chairman and CEO of Clyde Companies, who also serves as mayor of Springville. “We are honored to continue the Clyde mission of Building a Better Community, and feel confident that this donation will leave a lasting impact in our community for many years.” “The city of Springville is so pleased to receive this generous donation from Clyde Companies,” said Troy Fitzgerald, Springville City Administrator. “The additions to the Clyde Recreation Center would not have been possible without the donation and it will make the facility even better.” The Clyde Recreation Center is currently under construction and is scheduled for completion at the end of 2017.

Veterans benefit from car show and run By Ed Helmick

The third annual car show hosted by the Mervyn Sharp Bennion Central Utah Veterans Home in Payson was held on Saturday, June 24 and was a wonderful day for all. Car shows are always popular because of the great memories of a time past that these classic vehicles bring back to us. This event also made it possible for residents of the veteran’s home to take a ride of almost an hour in some of the classic and historic cars local owners brought out. More good memories for all who participated in the 2017 veterans car show. New for this year’s event, a 5K “Run (or walk) for the Vets” started

the day with about 50 entrants made up of local supporters and veterans. The course which was just over 3.1 miles began and ended at the Payson Veterans center and several water stations were provided along the ways. Participants received a special T-shirt and a commemorative “dog tag.” More than an hour after the start of this foot event people of all ages and physical condition were crossing the finish line. All of these folks need to be applauded for their commitment and contribution to the start of the day. The car show vehicles started showing up about 9 a.m. and a total See CAR SHOW Page 8

Tatton Baird Hat Co. produces custom hats

L-R: Chandler Scott, Tommy Irvine, Covi King, Colt Bowden and Josh Longoria. Photo by Ed Helmick By Janice Helmick Irving Berlin wrote, and Fred Astaire sang, a song about puttin’ on your top hat and celebrating in the city. In Springville, Utah, there is a place where you can order a custom made top hat for yourself. It is located at 52 West 200 South in a brick building that was built in 1891. Chandler Baird Scott thought it would be an ideal building for his craft of making custom hats. He began a restoration project that took 1½ years to complete and includes stained glass windows from an LDS church building. We now have a vintage building serving as home to the historic craft of hat making. The business is named Tatton Baird Hats, and is owned and operated by Chandler Baird Scott, a master hatter. A master hatter gains his

experience by being apprenticed to a master hatter. Chandler apprenticed under Jim Whittingham in Salt Lake City. When Jim Whittingham retired, he sold the hat business to Chandler, who moved it to his hometown of Springville. Now Chandler has an apprentice working under him named Tommy. The hats are made from one piece of felted fur which is blocked and plated into shape and has no seams. The only seams are in the binding and the sweatbands, which are sewn into the hat on a Singer 107 sewing machine. The felted fur is ordered from Tennessee and comes to the shop in a rough cone. About 60 percent of the blocks used for forming the shape of the hats are from the See HATS Page 31

Paint-a-Thon project spruces up senior’s home

By Janice Helmick This old house once knew the children, this old house still knows the wife, this old house was their safe haven in the hardships in their life. This old house heard children’s laughter and it heard their many shouts, then it stood in disrepair with the new homes all about. This old house is occupied by an 85-year-old widow with limited mobility, and it was nominated for a paint project by John Wallace of Neighbor Works, who delivers her Meals on Wheels. The project was carried out by a team from Zions Bank, and the recipient was so excited to have her house painted. Zions Bank has been performing the paint-a-thon projects for 27 years and this year has 44 teams in Utah and Idaho, from St. George to Boise. The team that worked on this project comes from the Zions Bank branches in Santaquin, Payson, Spanish Fork, Provo, and Orem. The team captain for this project was Bryan Halverson, Spanish Fork Financial Center Manager. Bryan has been working on the paint-a-thon projects for ten years. Every year Zions Bank employees donate their evenings for a week to paint the house of a person in need. They paint after work and bring their families to help. The employees sign up for the day of

the week, what equipment they can bring and how many people they will bring with them. Some members of Bryan’s team were Janet Sanford, who has been doing this every year since the project began, and Chad Bishoff who brought his wife Brooke, who came for the first time, and their four children including their 10-month old son James. Chad and his friend, Sam Jex, were on the roof painting the eaves. Sam Jex has been bringing his daughter, Sadie, who is 11 years old, for three years. This year they were joined by his wife Elizabeth. We counted about 20 people on the front and sides of the house which included those named above and Rock Boulter, Isaiah Young and his wife, Amanda Lambson, Rachel Dunlap, Paul Perry, his wife Jennifer and his daughter, Boryana who is 6 years old. This was also the first year for Jennifer Deem. Richard Mason of the Provo office has been coming for four years, and Scott Nebeker of the Provo office has been coming for five years. Those who were working on the back of the house were Charlotte Grotegut who has been coming for six or seven years, Dave, Alexandra, and Tawni Shipley who have worked on three houses, and two

“Newsflash - You Are Living in Babylon” By Jesse Fisher Got a big kick out of Tanner Gilliland‘s blog post on MillenialMormons.com. Its title was “Newsflash: You Are Living in Babylon!” Why is this important to understand? Not realizing we live in Babylon prevents us from seeing that our day-to-day environment is saturated with Babylon’s pridebased values and, more importantly, that they are rubbing off on us — and, leading society in the opposite direction of Zion. In an eye-opening General Conference talk entitled “Zion in the Midst of Babylon,” Elder David R. Stone makes these two points: 1. We live in Babylon. Actually, Elder Stone tiptoes around this point. Here’s the closest he comes to declaring that we live in Babylon: “We see Babylon in our cities; we see Babylon in our communities; we see Babylon everywhere.” 2. Babylon’s values rub off on us. This point Elder Stone makes plainly: “Seduced by our culture,

we often hardly recognize our idolatry, as our strings are pulled by that which is popular in the Babylonian world,” and “even our friends are encouraging us to give in to the idolatry of the times.” He also gives an example supporting this idea from ancient times: “During the days of ancient Israel, the people of the Lord were an island of the one true God, surrounded by an ocean of idolatry. The waves of that ocean crashed incessantly upon the shores of Israel. Despite the commandment to make no graven image and bow down before it, Israel seemingly could not help itself, influenced by the culture of the place and time.” He then points out that we today are also strongly influenced by Babylon’s culture in which we live: “Our culture tends to determine what foods we like, how we dress, what constitutes polite behavior, what sports we should follow, what our taste in music should be, the importance of education and our

attitudes toward honesty. It also influences men as to the importance of recreation or religion, influences women about the priority of career or childbearing, and has a powerful effect on how we approach procreation and moral issues. All too often, we are like puppets on a string, as our culture determines what is ‘cool.’” Convinced? Hope so. Elder Stone then makes the point that, “We can create the real Zion among us by limiting the extent to which Babylon will influence our lives.” I would add that the society in

RESIDENTIAL/SERVICE

which we live leads us either toward Babylon and her destruction or toward Zion and her realization. So, what if, what if we limited “the extent to which Babylon can influence our lives” by creating social institutions — schools, clubs and businesses — that are saturated with Zion’s values instead of Babylon’s? By doing so, we would also be following the divine mandate to “build Zion.” Which is just what we’re trying to do at AlpineValleyAcademy.org, a school-based in mutual respect and humility, not rigid hierarchies and pride.

Maple Mountain welding students grab the gold By Karen L. Willoughby

About 100 high school welding state winners across the nation competed in June for national awards. Maple Mountain High School’s three-teen welding team took gold despite a harrowing 30-hour trip June 19 getting to the SkillsUSA National Competition in Louisville, Kentucky. “We have a reputation for doing well but this is the first time we’ve actually won a national gold medal,” Jared Massic told Serve Daily. Massic started Maple Mountain High School’s welding program in 2009 and continues as its welding instructor. MMHS earned first place in Utah state competitions for each of the last five years. They took fourth nationally four years ago, and third in each of the last two years. Even though they were a day late to the competition because of severe thunderstorms and related delays, the three teens — Tosh Davis, Ben Warnick and Tyler Christmas — were allowed to each take a 100-question written test. When the three scores were averaged, the Maple Mountain seniors had earned the highest score of any of the other 37 teams of state winners. “They won first place and I know for sure they got the highest score on the [written] test and on the fabrication quality [test],” Massic said, ex-

plaining that test as one that compares the finished product to its blueprint. The Maple Mountain teens won the gold medal by effectively and efficiently using 6.5 hours to build a project they had designed, from materials they were given and requirements they were assigned to meet. “The project was a welding and cutting table,” Massic said. “Every high school had the same requirements but every team designed and built their own project.” The Maple Mountain teams had worked together beforehand with Massic to determine who was to do what to accomplish their task within the allocated time frame. “We parents are so grateful for Jared Massic,” said Shauna Warnick. “He is a stellar man of character and great talent in teaching youth. Our sons have become better men because of his gifted mentoring.” Massic, who started as a high school welding student in Ohio, worked as a welder for five years before starting the Maple Mountain welding program. “I knew fairly early on I wanted to teach high school shop,” Massic said. “I had a passion for working with my hands and wanted to give that same passion to others.”

As to his teaching method, “I think they need to make sure the weld is done right, or that things are done correctly, not just ‘good enough,’” the welding instructor continued. “I just keep making sure they know there’s always room for improvement. “Another goal is that I want them to leave my program to be able to get a job in order to work through college or to have a career,” Massic said. “They can leave my program and be in the welding industry as a viable career.” The Maple Mountain welding team, part of about 90 students and advisers from Utah, can add “harrowing trip” to their participation in a national competition. They left at 9 p.m. Monday, June 19, for Baltimore. Because of severe thunderstorms in the area, their plane circled for a time before diverting to the Raleigh/ Durham International Airport. Further delays included no flight crew and no driver available for a bus they thought they had chartered. They finally arrived at their Louisville hotel about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. After a short sleep, they needed to wake at 5:30 a.m. to take the written test at 8 a.m. That’s the one in which the Maple Mountain team took first place. See WELDING Page 20

be appreciated as part of the success of this event. In addition to creating a great time for all, this is a fundraising event for the veteran’s home Santa Zone gift program held in December for veterans and their families. Funds were raised at the free car show through the “Run for the Vets” and car registration fees (veterans did not have to pay registration fees however), and vendor booth space. The final accounting is not in as Serve Daily goes to press, but the organizers are pleased with how things went. As a spectator, the car show brought back memories of a past when these old cars were young and so were we. Car shows are like that. This car show was a fascinating experience because of the involvement of the Payson Central Utah Veterans Home and the joy that it brought to the residents. We will be looking forward to the 2018 Veterans Car Show.

Summer heats up local real estate market By Karen L. Willoughby

Low mortgage rates, high demand and the summer buying season have combined to increase house prices somewhat in southern Utah County, area Realtors say. “Sold prices really jumped up in the first quarter of 2016 and leveled off until the fourth quarter of 2016,” said Tony Wardell, a Realtor for 15 years in Southern Utah County. “Now we are seeing a slight jump in prices in 2017.” This is despite a considerable uptick in the number of permits issued for new homes, city officials say. “Last year we issued 90 permits for new homes, which was the most we’ve done in the last 10 years or more,” Sean Conroy told Serve Daily on June 21. Conroy is Mapleton’s Community Development Director. “This year we have already issued 72 permits for new homes.” In previous years, developers in Mapleton would build houses on perhaps five to 10 adjacent lots at a time, Conroy explained. This year, D.R. Horton is building 200 homes

on 100 acres near Slant Road, and Alpine Homes is developing 30 lots along that road. Arive Homes has about 100 permits to build in the same general area. Population increases — and thus, need for additional housing – have risen greatly since 2000. • Springville was estimated in July 2016 by the U.S. Census Bureau to have a population of 33,044, up from 20,424 in 2000, a 61.8 percent increase. • Mapleton: an estimated 9,512 in 2016, up from 5,809 in 2000, a 63.7 percent increase. • Spanish Fork: an estimated 38,861 in 2016, up from 20,246 in 2000, a 91.9 percent increase. • Payson: an estimated 19,810 in 2016, up from 12,716 in 2000, a 55.8 percent increase. The increase in Mapleton is coming primarily from people north of Springville, Conroy said. “Mapleton is a desirable place to live,” the city official said. “We are a unique community retaining a peace-

The market is tight enough that Wardell offers “Your home sold in 29 days or less or it’s free” on his website, UtahSellHomes.com. “In 2016 the typical homes stayed on the market for just 52 days, about a week faster than in 2015 and the fastest year since Redfin began measuring in 2009,” according to a January 2017 article in Forbes business magazine. “The brokerage expects 2017 to be even faster.” The average price of a home in Mapleton is $470,000. This is a part of Utah County with scenic mountain backdrops, where some bare land acreages sell for $299,000. The price is based on what buyers are paying for similar properties, Wardell said. “The best things to do to get your home sold fast? It’s the three Cs,” Wardell said. “It needs to be clean, de-cluttered and have curb appeal.” Mortgage “rates are relatively low, demand is high and spring/sum-

mer is here,” the Realtor continued. “If your home is priced well and in show condition, it will sell quickly.” Rates recently averaged 4.05 percent for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages, according to Bankrate.com’s analysis. This is a slight uptick, according to the analysis, but rates change weekly. Homes that don’t sell within 90 days either have “issues” or are priced incorrectly, Wardell said. “I recommend getting an appraisal as another layer of proof for your home’s value,” Wardell said. “What a buyer can pay and what a bank is willing to loan is based solely on what a home appraises for.” In the Forbes article, experts noted seven trends in the housing market for 2017: Prices will continue to rise, but more slowly; affordability will worsen; mortgage rates will be volatile; credit availability may improve; supply will improve but remain short; Millennials will continue to make up a large and growing portion of the buyer pool, and demand will continue to increase.

Since I haven’t figured it out, I rely on the Dugout, a gas station in Spanish Fork. They have AMAZING fountain drinks with great pebble ice and these insane cinnamon rolls. So they are HUGE. They give you a to go box and you have to cram the roll in there. We honestly split it in half because it is so big. It is bursting with cinnamon and has this sweet creamy frosting.

OR you can get a traditional Bruges Waffle (think Waffle Love style) with a heavy dollop of whipped cream.. 4. Chips and Salsa at Joe Bandidos 1435 N Main St, Springville, Utah Ok. I know everyone has their chips and salsa place and they are pretty dedicated to their place. Joe Bandidos has always been a favorite of mine. Their chips are served hot and fresh and have the right amount of salt. Their salsa is super fresh and has just the right amount of spice. Mouth is watering just thinking about it. I love to go there before holiday celebrations and pick up a huge bag of chips and a tub of salsa. Totally makes my day. 5. Rockwell’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream 43 North University Ave. Provo

I love ice cream. Growing up we had this place called Country Boy Dairy where they made rich, creamy delicious ice cream. I love that homemade, local ice cream. It just tastes better. When I found Rockwell I was overwhelmed with food anticipation. Not sure if that is a word but I walked in and saw bakery treats, flavored ice cream cones, and their ice cream menu and I knew I found a new favorite. So my favorite thing to do is get a brownie or cookie bar, have them warm it up and serve it a la mode. So a melty brownie topped with Smores. They have new flavors each week and I follow them on Facebook and plan my trips to Provo accordingly. I wanted to do ten but there is too much to say! I am glad that I got to introduce you to a few of my favorite places in Provo and a few local favorites. I would love to know your favorites. Email me at amybairdwrites@gmail.com.

Eagle Scout’s effort helping food pantry acquire storage shed By Ron Hammond

Zachary ‘Zack’ Rash, center, donates a symbolic check to Maria Zambrano, center left, in the amount of $700 toward the construction of a new and much-needed storage shed for the Agape Food Pantry. Also pictured are family members Isabel and Melissa Flores and Nathan. A Payson Eagle Scout has provided funds toward a much-needed storage shed for Agape Food Pantry and Thrift Store. His Eagle Scout project was a pancake breakfast fundraiser held on June 3 that raised $500. A group of anonymous donors gave an additional $200. “I had sorta given up on finishing my Eagle project,” Eagle Scout Zachary Rash said. “Then I talked to Maria (Zambrano) and found out what the food pantry does, and I really felt like my project could help lots of people. It got me motivated again.” The shed was ordered the week after the pancake breakfast. It was to be completed by July. The Agape Community Center is a nonprofit agency that serves people in the Payson-Salem-Santaquin com-

munities. The thrift store at 765 E. 100 North in Payson receives many donations of used goods that are sold at low prices. Money raised through efforts such as Rash’s goes toward paying their expenses, providing utility support for single mothers and providing gas vouchers to families in need. Zambrano, the center’s director, said the pantry provides food, in cooperation with the Utah Food Bank, as needed to more than 1,000 family members per month. The food pantry also supports a mobile food pantry to an orphanage in Mexico. “Zack has been a wonderful young man to work with,” Zambrano said. “For years now, Agape Food Pantry has been an answer to prayers that has already helped many thousands of needy people through the

support of good people who live in this community. We have so many good neighbors who support us.” Agape is always in need of more donations and invites local area businesses to donate surplus goods, cash, land, buildings and other properties that can be used to build a new Agape Center near the Payson Mountain View Hospital, Zambrano said. Agape is bursting at the seams of its current location. Based on current need, a new center could help many more families by providing educational programs that train and empower those in need. A new center can only happen with the generous donations of community members and businesses. This future center will be

designed to provide subsidized day care, family support classes, facilities for family life education classes and, ultimately, a larger donations center for increased capacity to raise funds and provide more educational and education-based, life-changing training for those in greatest need in the community. The food pantry is open 12:30 to 4 p.m. Mondays and Saturdays, and 4 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays. The thrift store is open 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. To make a donation, contact Maria Zambrano at 801-885-5523 or zmaria61@gmail.com. Agape Community Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency and is on the Web at agapeutah.com.

Salem Days’ Salem Pageant sure to entertain By Ed Helmick Dottie Jensen of Salem, Utah has written and directed the Salem Pageant many times over the years and she is at it again for 2017. Her goal is always to bring the community together for one big show. Performers range from 6 to 90 years old. Dottie asks local residents if they have talent and a desire to participate she will find a place for them in the pageant. This year’s theme is “Sunshine on a New Day.” The pageant is the concluding program, followed by fireworks, of a weeklong list of activities centered in the small town of Salem. This year’s Salem Pageant to be held Saturday, Aug. 12 at the Salem Pond (Knolls Park) will conclude a day full of activities starting with

breakfast and the parade at 10 a.m. After the parade, there will be children’s games and activities. At 5 p.m. there will be a senior citizen’s dinner followed by the pageant and fireworks. There is a cast of about 130 people of all ages. The city of Salem furnishes the material for the costumes and there are eight ladies sewing costumes. Mark Shipley is painting the backdrop, which is 12 feet tall and about 30 feet long. Steve Cox works with Mark to set up the different sections of the backdrop for painting. Rehearsals are being held in the Salem Community Center as people prepare for their parts in the Salem Pageant. See PAGEANT Page 20

Salem youth to perform ‘Bye Bye Birdie’ under director Amy McKay By Ed Helmick

Auditions for the performance were held in the middle of May. There are over 20 cast members with Sandy Millett as the Director, her daughter Maddy Millett as the Stage Manager, and Sierra Wisdom as the Choreographer. Amy said that they could use additional male performers, so if any of you guys out there are interested please give it a try you can call her at 801-360-0040. Rehearsals are underway right now and young talent is being perfected for the big show. Performances will be held July 26, 27, 28, and 31 at the Salem Hills High School with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins at 7 p.m. One matinée will be held on

The Salem area has no live theater group for young people in the community and Amy McKay has set about to do something about it. She has created the Young Performers of Salem group for ages 12 through 25 to have the opportunity to perform on stage. To catch the attention of the young performer Amy wanted a lively stage musical and selected “Bye Bye Birdie.” This is a parody on Elvis Presley leaving his musical career after being drafted into the Army. Some readers might remember that bit of history from 1957. The Young Performers got permission to use the Salem Hills High School Theater, which is a really excellent facility.

The

Saturday, July 29 with the doors opening at 1:30 p.m. and the show beginning at 2 p.m. Tickets are $6 for students, $8 for adults, and they will have a senior discount for those old enough to remember Elvis Presley. Tickets will be available online or at the door. The auditorium seats 1,463 people and it would be great if it could be filled for every performance of Bye Bye Birdie.

The World Folkfest in Springville invites the public to join its 31st celebration of world cultures, music and dance when visitors from around the globe present five evening performances and a free street dance during the week of July 31 to Aug. 5, 2017.

They shared personal stories of why education is important and explained, “The children of today will become adult citizens and leaders of tomorrow.” “The growth and future of our country highly depends upon the quality of our educators. Most of us can point to that one educator who truly affected our lives, both in and out of the classroom. We remember the one teacher who really pushed us to achieve, or the instructor who refused to let us take the easy way out. And while we may not remember much else about that school year, we definitely remember that teacher,” stated Jon and Karen. “We have received and read many nomination

Springville-Mapleton Chamber names Lemon and Sage Market “Business of the Month” Lemon & Sage Market, located on Main Street in Springville, has been named the Springville/Mapleton Chamber of Commerce Business of the month for July 2017. Lemon & Sage offers a unique service and new culinary experiences to the community. It is primarily a food business incubator, renting out commercial kitchen space designed to help small entrepreneurs find their place in the local craft food

market and grow their businesses. However, it also plays host to popular events like cooking camps for kids and teens, fun-filled activities like ‘Cupcake Wars’, and courses in authentic Italian or Thai cooking and sushi-making, where individuals, couples, or friends learn new cooking skills before sharing a meal together. Although incubator kitchens are a growing trend around the country,

‘American Pickers’ series seeks antiques, hit show to film in Utah The hit TV show “American Pickers” is looking for leads and would love to explore your hidden treasure. Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz and their team are excited to return to Utah. They plan to film episodes of the hit series “American Pickers” throughout the region in July. “American Pickers” is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique “picking” on History channel. The hit show follows Mike and Frank, two of the most skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques. They are always excited to find sizable, unique collections and learn the interesting stories behind them. As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, Mike and Frank are on a mission to recycle and rescue

forgotten relics. Along the way, the Pickers want to meet characters with remarkable and exceptional items. The pair hopes to give historically significant objects a new lease on life, while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way. Mike and Frank have seen a lot of old gold over the years and are always looking to discover something they’ve never seen before. They are ready to find extraordinary items and hear fascinating tales about them. If you or someone you know has a large, private collection or accumulation of antiques that the featured pickers can spend the better part of the day looking through, send us your name, phone number, location and description of the collection with photos to americanpickers@cineflix. com or call 855-OLD-RUST.

Lemon & Sage takes it one step further by providing a storefront that sells in-house made products, other Utah’s Own products, and imported specialty items. This provides customers the opportunity to shop in a “farmers’ market” year-round. Customers can expect unique, high-quality products suitable for both gift-giving or tonight’s dinner. Some of the market’s offerings include handmade, creamy yogurt made in-house by Milk Honey Yogurt, imported oils and vinegars, homemade lasagna or enchiladas for take-out dinners, and fresh-baked carmelitas to satisfy any sweet tooth. At Lemon & Sage, the philosophy is “Keeping it local, fresh, and delicious.” They strive to provide the public with quality “homemade” options, and encourage the support of local businesses. Owner Shannon Källåker developed the idea after trying to find commercial kitchen space to rent four years ago and not having any luck. She realized the frustration many small business owners face as they work to navigate the regulations necessary to start a foodbased business. She also understood that, many times, the only thing standing in the way of a successful craft food entrepreneur is access to a commercial kitchen and the cost that entails. Lemon & Sage was the answer, removing this significant hurdle by providing beautiful, commercial kitchens for anyone

Farmers’ Markets to start in late July By Karen L. Willoughby Two southern Utah County farmers markets are expected to draw throngs of area residents this summer. After a year’s hiatus, the Mapleton Market will re-open Monday evenings between July 31 and Sept. 25. Spanish Fork’s Farmers Market will be open Saturday mornings to early afternoons between July 29 and Oct. 28. On the other hand, neither Springville, Payson, Salem, Santaquin, Woodland Hills nor Elk Ridge have plans for farmers’ markets this summer, those towns’ officials said.

MAPLETON “Last year they didn’t do one and it made a lot of us sad,” said Mapleton Market’s coordinator, Jill Uriona. “We’re just trying to build community. I want my kids to learn to grow things and have retail experience selling them,” continued the mother of four. “We encourage teens to grow things or craft things, to sell them and make money.” The Mapleton Market is great for socializing, too, Uriona said: “It’s fun to get to know our community better, and to know where our food comes from.” Since Mapleton didn’t have a farmer’s market last year, and since the Mapleton Market team was slow getting started, there might be only a dozen or so vendors, the coordinator said. However, she added, since there is no cost to be a vendor for products produced within 25 miles of Mapleton, the number of vendors could increase. She anticipates corn, watermelon, tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, onions, herbs and additional fruits and vegetables, plus a wide variety of crafted items — pottery, crocheted items, airbrush paintings, kids’ aprons and more, including balloon animals. Each week there will be a table with empty boxes, with each box representing a local family in need. “We hope this will not only pro-

vide a healthy boost for families in need, but also a meaningful way for all of us to share the bounties of our backyards,” Uriona said. Mapleton Market — open 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Mondays July 31 to Sept. 25 — is to be in a new location this year: near the Main and Maple streets intersection, in the parking lot of the Old Town Hall, by the tennis courts. For more information see www. mapletonmarket.org. SPANISH FORK Its local Chamber of Commerce coordinates the Spanish Fork Farmers Market. “We’ll have 30 or more vendors,” Heather Youd, the chamber’s executive director, told Serve Daily. “We have quite a few who come with a temporary pass; they don’t pay for the full season. “Ours is a true farmer’s market. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, lots of breads, lots of grains. We even have frozen lamb this year, and the Spanish Fork FFA is doing sausage.” Among the vendors who have already signed up for this year are McMullin Fruit, Hayward Honey, Gordon Farms Produce, Sueanne’s Garden, Pyne Farms, Wes Mountain Wheat, Syd’s Kettle Corn, Volker’s Bread and several more. The Spanish Fork farmers market will not include crafts or other nonfood items. “One of the biggest changes is that we’re going to start accepting SNAP benefits this year,” Youd said, referring to a government support program. “We’ve been working with Tabitha’s Way, the local food pantry, and discovered there’s quite a need for produce for low-income families, and we thought this would be a good benefit for them.” The Spanish Fork Farmer’s Market — open 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays, July 29 to Oct. 28 — is to be located in the parking lot behind city offices, the stately building on Main Street across from the library.

The website is focused on three areas: • Prepare and Prevent; • Help and Heal; • Share and Speak Up. Prepare and Prevent: The Protect Young Minds website states, “Until the society makes the Internet safe for kids, parents must be proactive in teaching what pornography is, why it’s dangerous and exactly how to reject it. The good news is that YOU CAN DO IT.”

A “Quickstart Guide for Proactive Parents” is free and is full of helpful information and conversation guides. Every parent would benefit from reading this important guide. Additionally, the site offers the free guide titled, “3 Secrets to Porn-Immune Kids.” Help and Heal: Almost all children are exposed to pornography at some point in their young lives. The website offers the “SMART Plan for Parents: Helping Kids Who Have Seen or Sought Pornography.” This excellent guide is free and a must-have for all parents. Share and Speak Up: For individuals who are interested in becoming part of the solution, Protect Young Minds offers a free ambassador kit that has several valuable resources to educate community members. My hope is that every parent will visit www.protectyoungminds.org and benefit from the free guides and fantastic resources.

Let It Be Written supports Elder KC DeGroff’s mission By Kyle DeGroff

Let It Be Written recently attended Art City Days in beautiful Springville, Utah. During the show, we met so many wonderful people and many former customers. Let It Be Written was started by KC DeGroff in an effort to fund his full-time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Many individuals rallied around KC and bought pens from him to support his cause. Because of all the support he received, KC was able to leave in June 2016 for The Charleston West Virginia Mission and has served in Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia. While serving KC has bailed hay, tore down a house in preparation for Habitat for Humanity to rebuild and helped construct Adirondack chairs all while teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone he meets. KC loves serving and making others happy. It is hard to believe he only has one more year left.

Prior to leaving KC taught his younger brother Kevin how to make pens and run the business. He worked side by side with his brother and taught him all that he knew. Kevin also shadowed KC at many of his shows in an effort to learn how to communicate with people and conduct business behind the scenes. Although Kevin is only 15 years old he has learned how to run the business very quickly and has enjoyed seeing many customers who purchased pens from KC continue to support Let It Be Written and purchase pens from him. Kevin also has a deep desire to serve a mission and is working hard to achieve his goal of earning enough money to support himself on a mission. KC often stated, “a mission will mean so much more to me by earning the money by myself than if someone just paid for it.” Kevin has followed this same mantra and is on the pathway to achieve the same goal

In August, William’s birthday party will be held at the Wiggy Wash in Springville. This is a neat, smalltown thing that we have going on at the Wiggy Wash, and we congratulate the operators for what they are doing for this young man.

FIREWORKS

hand them to a kid and say, “Here’s a stick on fire. Feel free to wave it around and have fun; just be sure not to light anything else on fire with it, OK? Oh, and while you’re holding it, the flame will be inching ever closer to burning your hand. Enjoy!” Now, I may have given you the impression that I don’t like fireworks. That’s not true: I love a good professional fireworks show. When people who know what they’re doing stage fireworks shows while working in conjunction with the local fire departments to keep everyone safe, I’m all for it. These professional fireworks shows are beautiful and fantastic! (I just wish the finale would last a little longer.)

Even if Hank doesn’t set the neighborhood ablaze, we still have to deal with him setting off firecrackers at all hours of the night. I’ve never understood the appeal of firecrackers: “Yippee, they make a loud noise!” I could get the same result by going around and hitting random people on the thumb with a hammer, only the loud noises I would be creating would be more colorful. And then there are sparklers. Sparklers are the “kid toy” of the fireworks set. We light them on fire,

MUSEUM

Continued from Page 1 of students from 1902 until 1988, when the Nebo School District closed the aging building; it was deemed too expensive to bring the building up to then-current building codes. After the building sat vacant for two years, prey to vandals, a group of Payson residents formed the PPP — People Preserving Peteetneet — to save the building, and put in long hours for another two years to restore the building now owned by the city. “Today, the Historic Peteetneet Museum and Cultural Arts Center represents an ongoing act of love expressed by the community to all visitors,” according to the PeteetneetMuseum.org website. “Not only is it the restoration and preservation of a beautiful historic school building, but it is a gathering place for children and adults who want to enjoy the facility and what it has to offer.” Peteetneet was the name of a Ute tribal leader who was kind to early-day settlers in what today is southern Utah County. A variety of classes for children and adults — various kinds of dance, gun safety and the like — bring some people to the Peteetneet. So do weddings, reunions and numerous other family and community gatherings. Museum visitors make up the bulk of the nearly 50,000 who signed the register in 2016. The heart of the building can be seen in the renovation of the building itself. A 15-minute video on the website gives some idea of the amount of

What previously was an elementary school atop a hill in Payson when it was built in 1901 is today the Peteetneet Museum and Cultural Arts Center. Photo by Steve Parsons work it took to restore the building to its original look. Without viewing the video, it’s not possible to appreciate the countless hours and backbreaking work the restoration took, as recently as 2015. Three-hour guided tours take place at Peteetneet Museum and Cultural Center twice each weekday, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and from 1 to 4 p.m. Guides carefully unlock (and relock) each door in turn, so visitors can step inside and see the contents. The four rooms on the main level contain the contents of a Victorian-era well-to-do Utah family home; a mid-century school room; a room that changes every couple of months with art exhibits by local artists, many of which are for sale; and a room of display cases

bought by and filled with memorabilia from various Payson families. A Western room in the lower level that’s accessible via an elevator features statuary by Frederick Remington donated by a Payson family; items discovered by the relative of a Payson family who had found items at the campsite of the infamous winter-stricken Donner Family; and items from the four Payson residents who earned “World Champion” rodeo belt buckles. In a side room is a blacksmith’s shop donated by yet another Payson resident.

25 In the Fashions room — with items from 1850 to the 1990s — are garments worn in movies by stars such as Doris Day, donated by a Payson family with a relative who had worked behind the scenes in Hollywood. A timeless velveteen gown was handmade from drapes, perhaps to “keep up appearances” during an economic downturn in the life of Payson residents. The Communications room on the top floor spans the gamut from feather pens and inkstands to rotary-dial telephones and vintage cameras. The War room includes a rifle used in World War I, and something from every conflict from the Civil War to the Middle Eastern conflicts, as well as a photograph of Gen. Jefferson Burton of Payson, who today heads the Utah National Guard. Stevenson credits Gloria Barnett, who died in 2015, with organizing the museum’s contents and leading in the arranging of items reflecting the America in which Payson residents and their forerunners were reared. “We keep an inventory of every item,” Stevenson said. “We’re a nonprofit. We kind of rely on people to donate.” Admission to the Peteetneet Museum and Cultural Center is free, though donations are welcomed. Special private gatherings, events and classes do require a fee.

Positive energy and kindness rewarded with Nebo PEAK Awards By Lana Hiskey

Nebo School District wants to showcase our Positive Energy and Kind employees. PEAK Awards are nominated by patrons and recognized by the Superintendent Staff and Nebo School Board of Education. The award is administered by the Communications and Community Relations Department. Bethany Clark Title I Coordinator, Cherry Creek Nominated by: Mike Duncan “PEAK stands for Positive Energy and Kindness and there is NOBODY in Nebo School District that displays these traits better than Bethany Clark. In fact, you could rename this the Bethany Clark award! On a daily basis, Bethany is always asking how she can help others. She consistently puts the needs of others ahead of her own and never takes credit for anything, even though she does SO

much. Her positive attitude is contagious, and she smiles at everyone she comes in contact with. The teachers, staff, parents, and students all love Mrs. Clark and enjoy seeing her each and every day. I can honestly say that I have never heard Bethany say a negative word about ANYTHING! Bethany is as good as they get, and we are so grateful to have her at Cherry Creek!” Steven Haderlie Teacher, Springville High Nominated by: Ann Anderson & Channing Miller “One of the greatest blessings was being in your chemistry class. I can honestly say that I would not be where I am today without your teaching and guidance. Thank you for being such a great teacher. I am forever grateful for your influence.” “Steve is an exceptional teacher!

He taught thousands of Springville High students over the years and has high expectations of his students. His courses are rigorous. Steve has a magical way of helping students rise to the level of his expectations. He has taught all three of my children. The first time I witnessed them solving their homework assignment around our kitchen table, I asked, ‘Are you suppose to be doing this together or on our own?’ I was quickly in-

formed that Mr. Haderlie expected them to work together in solving problems. I was fortunate to be his principal for five years. I appreciated his passion and always enjoyed being challenged by his thoughts about education and the success of a school.

AN ENVIRONMENT OF COOPERATION

CREATES NUMEROUS SEEDS OF OPPORTUNITY

Improvements make Spanish Fork-Springville Airport even better By Ed Helmick

Unless you’re a pilot you probably don’t think about our local airport which is jointly owned and operated by the cities of Spanish Fork and Springville. The airport has a 6,500 foot runway to accommodate everything from small airplanes to large business jets. The airport currently averages an estimated 75 flight operations a day with approximately 43%

being transient aircraft. In 2016, it was named Utah Airport of the Year. From a pilot’s perspective it is one of the best general aviation airports in the nation. This year our airport will be receiving additional FAA funded improvements to make it an even better general aviation airport. Later this summer an Automated Weather

Smith’s Marketplace opens in Springville By Karen L. Willoughby

The Smith’s Marketplace grand opening took place on June 21. The new Springville store’s hours are set for 6 a.m. to midnight daily. The 123,000-square-foot store — the Smith’s Marketplace standard size — is about 70 percent groceries, said Store Manager Dal Haderlie, who previously managed of the Smith’s in Orem and is a 33-year Smith’s employee. “It’s exciting for me to be part of this new store,” Haderlie said. “Springville’s been asking for this for many years, and I’ve been very welcomed here. I already feel part of

the community.” Smith’s Marketplace, now a division of The Kroger Co., began as a dry goods store in 1911 in Brigham City, Utah. It was renamed Smith and Son’s Market in 1932. After merging with Fred Meyer Inc., of Portland, Oregon, in 1997, and being bought by Kroger in 1997 — now the nation’s largest supermarket chain — Smith’s itself has grown to 140 stores in seven states. The Springville Smith’s is the 54th store in Utah, and the 100th fuel center in the chain.

Observation System (AWOS) will be installed. This equipment has automated sensors designed for aviation meteorological observations which are updated every minute or less. The weather information is continually broadcast on an aviation radio frequency for pilots conducting flight operations at the airport. This is obviously a very useful and necessary tool for pilots. Pilots use an FAA authorized instrument approach procedure when the clouds and visibility are low which is often encountered in the winter months. Our Spanish ForkSpringville Airport has not had an instrument approach. The Automated

The airport manager, Cris Child expects the installation of an instrument approach within the next 18 months. That is exciting news for pilots and our community.

In Student Congress, Kamen Kent and Christian Towse debated a variety of bills and resolutions from prescription drug regulations to the war on drugs to Russian sanctions and everything in between, replicating the rules and format followed by the United States Congress. In Program of Oral Interpretation (POI), Meagan Welton presented an oral interpretation from a combination of prose, poetry and script. This was an incredible experience for our kids. They worked really hard and represented their communities with class and integrity. The tournament was extremely difficult, as you can imagine, but was a great learning experience.

Simpson Springs wild horses descendants of tame mounts By Ed Helmick

As living history of the old west, Utah is blessed with an abundance of wild horses, or as referred to by the BLM free roaming horses. In fact the BLM has 24 wild horse herd management areas (HMAs) in Utah. About 70 miles to the west of us along the old Pony Express Road near Simpson Springs is one of the largest herds in the state. This wild horse herd, known to the BLM as the Onaqui Herd, has an estimated 200 horses that have occupied the area since the late 1800s. These horses are descendants of horses brought west by the early pioneers and the U.S. Cavalry. In Utah raising horses to sell to the U.S. Cavalry was big business for the ranchers. These once domesticated horses escaped from captivity or were abandoned, and that is why we see brown, black, buckskin, palomino and pinto horses.

The horses can sometimes be seen beside the edge of the Pony Express Road near Simpson Springs and other times they are distant and require binoculars to see them. The horses can be seen in small groups of three to six animals or larger herds of 50 to The price of the hats runs from $300 to $700 depending on the style and fur grade. Tatton Baird sells hats worldwide and he even has a small shop in Tokyo. This is a unique craft business and there are only five or six hatters

Continued from Page 2 first hat shop in Utah started by John Charles Tatton in Salt Lake City. Tatton apprenticed in England and immigrated to America. He came west with the pioneers, and Brigham Young financed his first shop. There is a portrait of Tatton hanging on the wall of the hat shop. Making the hat is very labor-intensive and is a modern example of an ancient and vulnerable craft. There are 26 individualized steps Colt Bowden and Josh Longoria Photo by Ed Helmick in the making of the making hats in the United States hat.

70 horses. These are wild horses that are shy and spook easily. It should also be noted that Federal Law prohibits harassing wild horses. These horses have been grazing on this rangeland for over a century, and they are a marvelous sight to see right here in our own backyard. The horses in the accompanying photo were part of an estimated 70-horse herd. The picture was taken with a 600mm lens at a considerable distance from the horses. It is a breathtaking sight to see that many horses running across the open landscape, an example of the natural beauty that we are blessed
