Caring for Veteran Heroes at Central Utah Veterans Home Harold Germaine, a veteran resident at Central Utah Veterans Home, and served in the Marines in the South Pacific during WWII. His troop left Camp Elliot, hiked for two days and was the first unit to occupy and settle Camp Peddleton. During his service he was shot and received a Purple Heart. In his service they would use tanks in Guam and there was a squad leader assigned to escort each one of the tanks. This was a dangerous job because the Japanese would hide and strap themselves in coconut trees so when they were shot and killed they wouldn’t fall out, making it difficult for the US to determine who was alive and who wasn’t. The Japanese troops would also shove steel bars into the tracks of the tanks to stop them from moving and would then ambush them. Harold was assigned to be a squad leader in charge of escorting these tanks. On July 27, 1944 Harold and his squad thought all of the Japanese in the trees had been shot and killed but they were mistaken and all three squad leaders were shot including Harold. Harold was shot in the right knee and the bullet passed directly through. He
returned home on November 5, 1944. Thanks to Harold and the many other veteran heroes we are honored to care for at Central Utah Veterans Home we are able to live with all of the freedoms we enjoy. During this month of patriotism we deeply appreciate and would like to thank all those who have served our country and have given us all so much. If you are a veteran, spouse of a veteran, a gold star parent or know someone who is, come and talk to us and see how we can help serve you in all of your rehabilitation and long term care needs!

Local triathletes unable to complete Ironman Texas, meets fundraising goal On May 16, Spanish Fork High School senior Gabrielle Heywood found herself in the outskirts of Houston, Texas. She was 11 days away from graduating from high school, but that milestone was far
from her mind. Gabrielle was competing in Ironman Texas with her father, Dave Heywood. The Ironman is a triathlon that begins with a 2.4 mile swim, followed by a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run.
Ironman requires its competitors to be at least 18 years of age and Gabrielle had turned 18 only 32 days before, making her the youngest female in the field of over 2,800 triathletes. The Ironman
is an event that requires months, if not years of preparation. Gabrielle and Dave logged thousands of miles of swimming, biking and running over the year leading up to the race to be prepared for such a challenging undertaking. In addition to the training, however, the father/daughter team wanted to something more than just gaining fitness. They wanted to make a difference in the

What does the separation of church and state mean and how does it affect us?
W
By Robyn Kimpton
hat is the separation of church and state? A popular teaching today “is that the Constitution has a dynamic meaning or that it has the properties of an animate being in the sense that it changes.” The reasoning for this is called the “pragmatist” view, which looks at perceived problems from a present-day point of view, and the “intent” view, which attempts to justify the pragmatist viewpoint by saying that the Founding Fathers intended for our Constitution to be a dynamic, “living” document and therefore wrote it in broad and flexible terms. (Original definition from Wikipedia, Living Constitution; interpretation belongs to the author.) Of course, I propose that these are both completely false. Our Founding Fathers were wise men who were well-versed with many types of government. They wrote our Constitution to govern by specific principles. Our problem is not that the Constitution is vague, but instead that we, the people have not been living it. We have been eating away at it since the day it was ratified. From where and from whom do we get our rights? Ezra Taft Benson wrote a wonderful booklet called “The Constitution, A Heavenly Banner.” I highly recommend reading it. It does a great job explaining the principles upon which our Constitution was founded. On page 6, he says that either “Rights are God-given ... or they are granted by government .... If we accept the premise that human rights are granted by government, then we must be willing to accept the corollary that they can be denied by government.” It has become the prevailing belief that the separation of church and state means that religion has no place in our government. This is not what our Founding Fathers intended. They came from a country where religion was dictated by a king. They weren’t allowed to believe in any religion they chose; the only religion open to them was the one the king chose. However, they wanted people to be able to choose what they would believe and how they would worship. This is the reason for the separation of church and state. However, the relentless effort to enforce the separation of church and state
as perceived by those making this effort has given us a new religion that is enforced nearly as strongly and tyrannically as the religion in England was dictated by the king. What is this new religion? It’s called Atheism. Our Founding Fathers asserted that our rights are God-given. They intended that religion in general would play an active part in government. They simply didn’t want government to control which religion a person could believe in. Therefore, our rights are limited to those that God would grant. Our Constitution was intended and written for a religious people. On page 33 of his book “To Preserve the Nation,” Scott Bradley writes, “... John Adams, the nation’s first vice president and second president, captured the concept of the importance of religion to the nation most succinctly when he said, ‘Our Constitution was designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.’” A benefit of obeying the Constitution as it was written is that it solves other problems. Have you noticed that disobeying one true principle creates a cascade of other problems? Then we see the new problems as new and unrelated when in reality, they’re simply fallout of disobeying the original principle. The same is true here. For example, when we separate church and state in the way that is commonly understood today, we get problems like abortion, homosexuality, education (we can’t teach concepts perceived as religious in the classroom) and even telling the truth on the witness stand! (Did you know that in the early days of our country, a judge wouldn’t allow a person to testify if he or she was an atheist? The reasoning was that if a person didn’t believe that he or she would be accountable to God after they died, then they wouldn’t feel any compunction about lying on the witness stand.) Now, if we flip this to obeying the Constitution as our Founding Fathers created it, we get back to a simpler life. We make judgments based on correct foundational principles instead of precedent. We no longer need a law to cover every possible action because we have principles that encourage honor and right action. I believe that our wise and inspired Founding Fathers gave us a Constitution that will protect us and create liberty and prosperity for us — if we follow it.
Supporting our troops By Thomas Hazen
The generosity of those in our community never ceases to amaze me! Four days ago, my wife approached me with a disturbing but all too real story of 200 men and women of the Marine Corps and 250 men and women of the U.S. Army deployed to Iraq in our country’s latest effort to halt the progress of the terror group ISIS. One of these young men, Gavin Wood of Hurst, Texas, graduated boot camp with our son and is now serving on the front lines in this fight. Our troops have been provided with the “Three B’s — Bullets, Beans and Bandages,” but not those things that we take for granted every day such as baby powder, ChapStick, shaving cream, razors, toothpaste, baby wipes, etc. In an effort to lift the spirits of these special men and women, our family decided to see just how many donations we could collect in a three-hour period by simply standing in front of a store and handing out a list of needed items. The response was truly inspiring. Maceys in Spanish Fork readily allowed us to conduct our experiment. People from every walk of life and every age willingly and joyfully donated. Many of those who donated were from military families past and present and shared stories of sacrifice and devotion that warmed our hearts. Others simply wanted to show their appreciation of our military. Today these brave souls are living in the open desert and don’t yet have tents or showers. Meanwhile, we sit in our
air-conditioned homes complaining that our Wi-Fi isn’t fast enough. Really? Who are we kidding? Perhaps we as a people and a nation should remember who to thank for our national language not being German or Japanese or Russian. Freedom isn’t free and the many thousands of our brothers and sisters lying beneath white marble crosses are a silent witness to that fact. The next time you see an “old-timer” wearing a ball cap that mentions a forgotten war or perhaps a young man or woman wearing a uniform or sporting a “high and tight,” take the time to thank them for their sacrifice. They’re the ones who raised their arm to the square and swore an oath to protect and defend this great land. They’re the ones who wrote a blank check to our government for their lives. Regardless of your particular views on the endless wars we seem to be engaged in, it’s our obligation - no, our privilege to support such men and women. The Hazen Family: Tom, Lesa, Connor (LCpl USMC) and Faith Update: June 22, 2015 - 24 boxes (over 250 pounds) of supplies were shipped to Iraq. We also received more than $300 in donations which paid for the shipping. Thanks to everyone that contributed to this drive. Our plan is to send care packages each time a Marine from our son’s graduating class is deployed. If anyone is interested in contributing to future care packages, please call us at 801-423-2580. We will be happy to contact you when the next drive starts.

Tickets may be purchased from Auxiliary members or Miss Santaquin or you may contact president Chris Richins at 801-754-1131, Tickets will be on sale at the booth in the park right up until the time of the drawing. Miss Santaquin Savanna Gillies has chosen to help work for veterans as her service project during her year as queen. She has joined the Santaquin Auxiliary
Legion Unit. The Fisher House provides a place for veterans and their families to stay, free of charge, while the veteran is receiving treatment at the VA Hospital. Many veterans have to travel great distances for medical care as the hospital serves all of Utah plus parts of Wyoming, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado and Montana. During difficult times, the home is a source of comfort and compassion to the veterans as their families are able to be with them. The house is supported entirely by donations. _____________________________ “Remember to serve your neighbor on a daily basis. Together we can create a world where we love and support each other.

‘One with Courage’ campaign aims to prevent child sex abuse By Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes
“Courage” is most often expressed to describe the bravery of those on our front lines. Our soldiers, police officers, firefighters and others committed to public service regularly demonstrate degrees of courage to protect the rest of us from harm. But, in today’s world, we must expand our definition of “courage” to include the mindset or spirit that enables the common citizen among us to face difficulty, danger and fear. It is critical to consider those who push stigma and discomfort aside to talk about tough issues that are often left in the shadows. Courageous individuals make it possible for the most vulnerable among us to find protection from harm. Child sexual abuse is a crime of silence. This abuse thrives by the secrets kept by the perpetrator and the victim. Sadly, many of these situations are based on a trusted relationship. The threat of exposure ignites instinctive reflexes to preserve familiar surroundings, even when they are damaging and destructive. The Utah Attorney General’s Office houses and administers the state-run Children’s Justice Center Program. CJC is dedicated to helping local communities respond to allegations of child abuse in ways that are effective, efficient and minimize trauma for the child. Each of the 22 centers in Utah provides a child-focused, facility-based program in which representatives from law enforcement, child protection, prosecution, mental health, medical services and victim advocacy work together in support of the victim. This comprehensive care and protection group conducts interviews and makes team decisions about investigation, prosecution and treatment of child abuse cases. In an average year, Utah’s CJCs conduct 4,500 interviews, handle 5,500 cases and serve as many as 15,000 people. In Utah County from April 2014 to March 2015, there were 1,016 cases of child abuse according to CJC reports; 72 percent of the cases were attributed to sexual abuse and 6 percent to physical abuse. With suspects made up of mostly males (88.5 percent) versus females (11.5 percent), alarming statistics show that one in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually assaulted be-
fore they reach the age of 18. Current estimates show that more than 90 percent of child sexual assault victims know their perpetrators; many are known to the child as a family member, friend or acquaintance. Sadly, most of these children do not disclose abuse until adulthood, if ever at all. Keeping families safe is a top priority in our AG office. In addition to our statewide CJCs, the AG’s office has 36 Child Protection Division assistant attorneys general and the necessary staff to ensure safe living environments for children in every county throughout the state. Utah County CJCs also serve Juab and Millard counties. We work in tandem with our partners at the Division of Child and Family Service. Many of our attorneys work cases at all hours of the day and night to seek judicial protection for a child who is in imminent danger of abuse or neglect while also respecting parental and family rights. Our office also administers Internet Crimes Against Children, a statewide multi-jurisdictional task force that investigates and prosecutes individuals who use the Internet to exploit children. ICAC includes 32 affiliate law enforcement agencies, 80 officers and three full-time prosecutors. In addition, our SECURE Strike Force investigates and prosecutes human trafficking threats that oftentimes include children. We are honored to team with DCFS to launch a new initiative, “One with Courage,” in Utah. Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes This initiative asks each of us, no matter our sitChildren’s Justice Center Program and our partnerships uation, to have courage.

Private effort to help curb homelessness Individuals or groups interested in assisting homeless children and adults in the south Utah Valley area are invited to attend a meeting Wednesday, July 8, 7 p.m. at the office of Mckell Christiansen Wise, 642 Kirby Lane #105, Spanish Fork. “We are aware of significant needs in Nebo School District, where over 1,000 students are without a roof over their heads,” Kari Malkovich, local resident and organizer of the meeting, said. “The problem spreads throughout Utah Valley, and, obviously, elsewhere, but we would like to address our local problem.” Evidence points to children that are living in cars, tents, garbage dumpsters, abandoned barns and other buildings, and, for those that are lucky, some children “couch hop,” that is, to spend the night with a friend on the living room sofa. Many children are also using school facilities for showers, laundry and food. For more information, please contact Malkovich at klmalkovich@ gmail.com or Linda P.

The Genesis of Mormon Cooperatives
M
any Saints today may be unaware that many of their Utah ancestors worked in cooperatives. The Utah Territory, at one time, was considered the premier place to observe Cooperative Free Enterprise in action. There were as many as 200 manufacturing and retail cooperatives in operation producing and selling everything from wagons, nails and furniture to boots, belts and straw hats. People came from around the world to study Utah’s cooperative movement. How did it all start? Brigham Young and the Twelve saw that the local merchants who purchased goods back East to resell in the Utah Territory were rapidly becoming wealthy at the expense of everyone else. These merchants would engage in what we call “price gouging” raising prices drastically on scarce products. This practice served to drain their communities of needed currency. Also, the merchants spent their profits on fine imported clothes, jewelry and carriages, setting themselves up as society’s elite. This division into classes was compared to what the people in 4th Nephi did once pride crept in and ruined their Zion society. Brigham would not have it. Another grave concern of the Brethren was the threat that concentrated wealth posed to our political liberties. They wrote that the freedoms for which our forefathers fought are endangered by the enormous influence which “wealth gives to a few individuals and a few powerful
corporations.” They saw the writing of laws by the wealthy as a sure sign of national ruin for any nation. In today’s Competitive Free Enterprise system, buying influence in government, price gouging and living extravagantly off profits all seem normal to us. But Brigham was not going to stand for it – the Saints were under covenant to consecrate all their means to the building up of the Kingdom and for establishing Zion, unlike the nonmember merchants. Cooperatives were thriving in Brigham City under Lorenzo Snow’s direction and the Brethren wanted to expand them throughout the Church to circumvent the above-mentioned evils of unbridled Capitalism and especially to prepare the Saints for living in United Orders. Apostle Wilford Woodruff’s statement in 1873 reflected this when he said, “We must give our earnest support to cooperation, for it is a step in advance towards establishing the Order of Enoch and the building up of the Zion of God.” We would be wise today to follow their lead.

Springville’s National Guard Armory is historically significant By MSG Vance Lindsay The Springville National Guard Armory located at 125 S. 700 East has been a part of the Springville community for many years and yet many people still don’t know it exists. Many residents believe it is part of the junior high school that sits next to it. In contrast to many other armories in the state, the Springville armory is small but boasts a long history. The Utah Army National Guard began planning for the Springville Armory in 1948. The armory started service as a maintenance garage in 1956. In the interim, the Utah Army National Guard maintained offices in the Memorial Hall Building. The first Utah National Guard unit to occupy the Springville Armory was the 116th Regiment of Engineers (now represented by the 116th Engineer Company). Brigadier General Maxwell E. Rich hoped construction of the armory would encourage local residents to join the National Guard. When dedicating the armory, he noted the past accomplishments of the Utah Army National Guard including the creation of miles of new jeep trails for a hugely successful summer en-
campment, the staging of annual military balls, the election of a Miss Utah National Guard, and the implementation of a 30-station radio network called MARS for use in the event of military or civil emergencies. The Springville Armory retains its original architectural integrity and is an excellent example of a 1950s Cold Warera National Guard Armory building. The Springville Armory building is one of four similarly designed Utah Army National Guard armories from the early to mid-1950s (the other three are in Provo, Murray and American Fork). The Springville Armory is historically significant for its role in the training of National Guard troops during the Cold War period. The armory was remodeled in 2013 to bring it up to date, but not much has changed in the old building over the years, and it remains a historical site to this day. Currently the Headquarters and Headquarters Company 489th Brigade Support Battalion resides in the armory. The 489th provides full-spectrum logistics to military units and civilian authorities when called upon.

The Patriot Within By Lyman Morris Across the worlds vast expanse, in a land I’ve never known A cry goes out for freedom and a grieving earth will groan. Two thoughts expressed, opposing views, and neither one backs down The conflict only escalates as children’s faces frown.

It’s far away I tell myself, there is no need to stew This spat’s between two foreign folks and not at home with you. But alas a letter comes, that says you’ve been called up To march into this foreign land and taste this bitter cup. A hundred thoughts go in and out and none stay in my mind Do I want the life ahead of me, or the one I’ll leave behind? My life has value does it not? Or so I would believe. To loose it in some foreign land would but myself deceive. And what about that other chap, who’s giving up his all? Is not he just as nervous to fill the patriot’s call? Does his life have less value, is he a lesser soul? Will killing him secure my place and help me reach my goal? Wading through confusing thoughts, I only feel blind. No mater how I twist it, I have no peace of mind. And as my tears run down my face and as they hit the floor I realize the ugliness created by a war. In my self-inflicted torture, I plead for God to hear my voice. Please help me with this problem, please help me with my choice.
As I sit in contemplation, I let my mind be still. I beg for his assurance, and how to know His will.
Then warmth begins to fill me and I feel His love draw near. His voice is but a whisper, but it comes through very clear. “I too have walked the road your on, you’re not alone my son. Do I love the ones that hate me or answer with a gun?
First let me state I’ll love you, no mater what you choose. For in life’s toughest lessons there is no way to lose. You may go back in learning, you may stumble you may fail, But I’ll always be beside you, just a whisper through the veil.
I will not make the choice for you, for this I cannot do. I can only give you options, the rest is up to you. But here is how to judge it, which choice gives off more light? The one that loves and blesses or the one that says to fight?
You see I made this choice myself, as a soldier lost his ear. It changed two lives forever as I healed him without fear. You can be the one that blesses life or the one that lets it go. And that still small voice inside you will always let you know.
So know again I love you, and your “enemy” as well. We’re all one family with God, even those who’ve chosen Hell. Your example will enlighten and keep a world from sin If you choose to always follow, The Patriot Within.

irectories are the predecessors of the phone book but often had more information. People’s home and business addresses, occupations and sometimes their marital status were listed. There are several types of directories available. City directories list where and when a person lived. You will also find a publisher’s introduction, a history of the city, a street directory, ward boundaries, a map of the city, abbreviations, a directory of churches, a directory of cemeteries, a list of city officials, classified lists of businesses, a list of fraternal and social organizations, city laws or ordinances, a calendar of events and more. A city directory can often guide you to other records such as censuses, death and probate records, naturalization records, land records and church records. Business and farm directories list businesses and farms in the community and can contain personal information about the owner such as dates and places of birth, dates of marriage, names of children, length of residence in the town and other valuable information. They are usually organized by county and, depending on the time period, vary in the amount of information they contain. Professional directories include information for people such as doctors and lawyers. They often include information relating to that individual’s history in the profession and other biographical information. Alumni directories contain a listing of individuals who attended a particular school, the year that they graduated and their degree. Finding information about
FOLKFEST
Continued from page A1 with a unique opportunity to experience another culture first-hand. All groups attending this year’s Folkfest will perform during each evening performance, giving audiences a trip around the world in one night. Performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. on July 28, 29, 30 and 31 and Aug. 1 at the Spring Acres Arts Park outdoor amphitheater, 620 S. 1350 East, Springville, Utah.

A family pass is available for $30. Tickets can be purchased at the gate with a credit card or cash on the night of the performance. For more information, visit www.worldfolkfest.com.
Old city directories can be a great resource for people researching their ancestors.
your ancestor in one of these directories can help you to locate other records within the organization. Most people are familiar with the common telephone directory; they contain addresses and phone numbers. These directories can be quite helpful in locating living relatives or possible relatives with the same surname or a similar surname. The phone company in each city in the United States published a directory of everyone in that area who had a phone number; however, phone books are disappearing in this cyber age. The first place to look for a book or microfilm copy of directories is the public library of the town you are conducting research about. State libraries and larger regional libraries also have city directories for towns in that state or area. Genealogical and historical societies may have sets of city directories. Many directories are online. Google the name of the town you are looking for plus the words “directories online.” Other online resources include DistantCousin, United States Online Historical Directories, and US City Directories. For those who don’t want to miss a minute of this year’s Folkfest, World Passport passes are available for $30 per person. This pass will allow the bearer in to every performance during Folkfest week. Many groups do different dances on each night of the Folkfest and bring a variety of costumes, making each evening performance unique. Audience members are guaranteed to see something different and new each night. The Folkfest will open with a free street dance on Monday, July 27, at 8 p.m. in the parking lot of the Springville Museum of Art, 126 E. 400 South, Springville. This family-oriented event is free and open to the public. Folkfest dance groups will teach simple folk dances to those attending with accompaniment by their musicians. Host families are currently being sought to house from two to four dancers during the week of the Folkfest. Host families are asked to provide room, board and transportation to Folkfest events for their international visitors. For information on how to become a host family during the Folkfest, contact Folkfest Housing Director Heather Quass at 801850-8454 or folkfest09@yahoo.com.

Fiesta Days 2015 John & Lenna Mendenhall Chairmen’s Message By John & Lenna Mendenhall As chairmen of Spanish Fork Fiesta Days, we welcome you to our wonderful city celebration, Fiesta Days 2015, with the theme “Feels Like Home.” As lifelong residents of Spanish Fork, our favorite time of year is Fiesta Days. We grew up here, we attended school here, worked here, played here and have raised our family here in Spanish Fork where we have three of our four children and their families living now. We have loved being a part of this celebration since our childhood days when we attended with our families the rodeo, the parades, the activities on the park, the community play, the carnival and all the events that make this celebration the very best in the state. We had the privilege of growing up in this wonderful community, so it has always truly felt like home to us. As our committee was making preparations for Fiesta Days 2015, we talked to several people who were not originally from Spanish Fork that told us that when they moved here, they became a part of the community, and now it just “Feels Like Home.” Thus we adopted the theme for 2015: “Feels Like Home.” Although Spanish Fork continues to grow in leaps and bounds, we believe it still maintains that unique feeling of being a close-knit town. Spanish Fork has always been a great blend of a bustling economy, fantastic sporting activities, friendly people and a vibrant farming community. The traditions of the past have laid the groundwork for the spectacular Spanish Fork City Fiesta Days celebration that we now enjoy. From the long-held favorites of the Grand Parade, Children’s Parade, Carnival, Food Vendors at the Park and Rodeo to the now traditional week-long
activities leading up to the 24th of July Fiesta Days celebration, we invite you to join us with your family and friends in enjoying this great event. As our town has grown, so has our celebration! There is something for everyone in this year’s Fiesta Days. The Flag Retirement Ceremony (one of the largest in the United States) and the 10K Race (which incorporates our new River Trail as part of the course) are listed on the Activities Calendar along with many other events including the Fireworks, the Western Heritage Parade, the Soap Box Derby Down Center, the Children’s Parade and Children’s Day Activities on the Park (including the ever popular Fish Rodeo), the Street Dance, the Baby Contest, the Spanish Fork Community Theatre production of “Tarzan,” nightly Concerts in the Park including Spanish Fork’s Got Talent, Craft Show vendors, the Car Show, the Rodeo and the Grand Parade. A new event we have planned this year is a concert that will be presented at the Spanish Fork Rodeo Arena. Fiesta Days presents the Utah Valley Millennial Choirs and Orchestra. This choir is made up of more than 500 voices and 100 orchestra members. They have performed at Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City many times and are scheduled to perform at the Lincoln Center in Washington, D.C., in 2016. They are presenting an inspiring patriotic program titled “To Be American.” Tickets are now on sale and you really don’t want to miss it. A complete calendar can be found on Spanish Fork City’s website, www.spanishfork.org, under Activities, Fiesta Days, Calendar. This summer is truly a time to celebrate our country, state and city heritage. We look forward to welcoming you to our Fiesta Days celebration and hope that you will agree with us that Spanish Fork indeed “Feels Like Home.”

JULY 2015
Susan Bartholomew- New Director of Springville Pioneer Museum Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes is an international leader in fighting human trafficking and recently testified before Congress on the evils of this industry.
The Face of Slavery By Kari Malkovich Abraham Lincoln was the original abolitionist, but slavery still exists. It has a new face: it’s the face of an innocent child. Victims today include nearly 2 million children throughout the world. They are slaves, exploited for sex. Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes is an international leader in fighting human trafficking and recently testified before the United States Congress on the evils and perils of this industry. According to Reyes, human trafficking is the fastest-growing criminal enterprise worldwide and the second most lucrative criminal enterprise globally ahead of arms dealing and counterfeiting. A subset of human trafficking is child trafficking. The AG’s office works with agencies nationwide to fight domestic child trafficking, but overseas, it is another story. That is where Operation Underground Railroad comes in. OUR is a nonprofit organization that rescues kidnapped children from slavery. Their rescue jump teams are comprised of highly skilled ex-Navy Seals as well as CIA and other operatives who work in conjunction with and in full cooperation with local police forces and foreign governments to liberate children around the world. They rescue these children and deliver them to safe havens that offer freedom and rehabilitation. Today, hundreds of enslaved victims of sex trafficking, mostly minors, are free due to OUR’s rescue efforts. One hundred and twenty-four of these victims, ages 9-16, were liberated in three highly dangerous, simultaneous undercover rescues in Colombia in a one-hour period in October 2014. Of the October rescue, Reyes said he
posed as the bodyguard and translator of a phony pedophile businessman in the undercover operation. “Operation Underground Railroad is an amazing organization,” said Reyes. “They set up operations the world over to liberate children from the clutches of traffickers and then provide them with the care, counseling and recovery resources needed for survival.” Lead by Tim Ballard, a former CIA agent and founder of OUR, this nongovernmental organization can deal directly with law enforcement and child services in each of the countries it operates in with the invitation and blessing of the ambassadors, heads of state or other top government officials. Trafficking is also a serious issue in Utah. The AG’s Secure Strikeforce has made numerous arrests including some of the biggest and highest-profile cases in state history. Reyes said, “In Utah, our state is leading out the fight against human trafficking,” he said. He goes on to warn: “Even in Utah, people are able to hide in plain sight. The community is so trusting. No one believes or wants to believe it happens here, so traffickers have little or no risk of being identified and caught.” That is until now — and you can help. The cost of a rescue is $25,000 to $60,000. OUR recently launched a fundraising campaign titled “Become an Abolitionist: Give a Lincoln, Save a Slave.” For as little as $5 a month, you can help their efforts in rescuing children worldwide (https://ourrescue.org/). In addition, you can volunteer to host a fun run, a yard sale or any fundraising event on their behalf. For more information, contact Doug Osmond at doug@ourrescue.org.
By Judy Elsner DUP Public Relations Since March of this year, Susan Weight Bartholomew has been the new director of the Pioneer Museum located in Springville. The museum is sponsored by the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. Susan has also been the president of the Springville/Mapleton DUP Company for the last four years. She says, “Our Springville Pioneer Museum is a wonderful place thanks to the work and dedication of the directors, board members and volunteers through the years. Many photos, histories and artifacts have been donated to the museum. It is our charge to make these objects feel like they have ‘died and gone to heaven’ and to share them with future generations.” Susan has lived in Springville most of her life, and several of her ancestors were early pioneers in the area. They were Moses and Polly Patten Childs, Oliver Boardman and Hannah Mendenhall Sanders Huntington, and Frederick and Elizabeth Babcock Weight. Her parents, Woodrow Weight and Lucille Miller, lived in Springville also. Family history has been of interest to Susan all her life. “It is fun and rewarding; I have always felt close to my family and ancestors because of this. I work also at the Springville Family History Center.” Susan and her husband, Steve Bartholomew, met when they were very young. They were in the same ward and attended the same schools. Together they are the parents of eight children and 19 grandchildren. Their mutual interests are hiking, camping, Scouting, traveling, family and church-related activities. The Bartholomew name has recently been in the area news because of the addition of the Wayne Bartholomew Family Park, which opened June 13

of this year. The park is located at the mouth of Hobble Creek Canyon. Steve Bartholomew grew up at the 30 Oaks Ranch where the park is now located. His father, Eldon Bartholomew, originally bought the ranch and worked it with his brother, Wayne Bartholomew. About the time Uncle Wayne died, the family sold his part of the property to Springville City for the new park. The Wayne Bartholomew Family Park is bringing many recreational opportunities to not only Springville residents but those from nearby communities free of charge. The Pioneer Museum located at 175 North. Main.. The phone number is (801) 491-2076. The museum will not be open this year on Utah’s Pioneer Day, July 24.

Springville celebrates opening of Wayne Bartholomew Park Chris Hash MapletonNews.com Community leaders, members of the community and lots of excited kids gathered to celebrate the opening of the Wayne Bartholomew park on June 13. Situated on 15 acres at the mouth of Hobble Creek Canyon, the park promises to become a prime gathering place for get-togethers and community recreation. That’s just what the vision was from the start, said Alex Roylance, Springville’s building and grounds director. “We wanted to have a beautiful, peaceful place where our community could come and enjoy the canyon and mountains, where families could gather and enjoy being outside together,” he said. That was also Wayne and Margaret Bartholomew’s hope when they sold the land to Springville City, he added. Work on the park began about a year ago. “We realized this would be an ideal location for a secondary water pond,” said Roylance. “But we also recognized the potential for a great recreational site. We visited a lot of other cities’ irrigation ponds and parks, looked at what we liked and didn’t like, and tried to make this park just a little bit better than anything else we saw.”

Payson Temple cornerstone ceremony
It appears that Springville City did just that. The Wayne Bartholomew is a beautiful facility complete with a pond for swimming, fishing and rafting; a nice beach area; concessions; volleyball nets; pavilions; trails and 100-plus parking spots. It’s not finished yet, either; the area will continue to be developed as Springville City has the funds, said Mayor Wilford W. Clyde. The park’s trails will eventually connect with the Hobble Creek trail system and the Mapleton Lateral Canal Trail. Plans for more pavilions and three playgrounds are also in the works. “Isn’t this exciting?” said Mayor Clyde, thanking those whose hard work has made the Wayne Bartholomew Park possible. “And we’re not finished yet we have a lot of really neat plans. Things like this make our community better. They help make it a great place to raise families and just enjoy yourself.” “This park is officially open!” Mayor Clyde announced as the ribbon fell to the ground. From the size of the crowd and the noise of their roar at this announcement, it appears that the Wayne Bartholomew Park will be well used and well loved. Reprinted from the Mapleton News.

Chris Hash MapletonNews.com Hundreds of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gathered to celebrate the completion of the Payson Temple at the cornerstone ceremony held on Sunday, June 7. A cornerstone ceremony traditionally marks the completion of a temple’s construction. The only public part of a temple dedication, this symbolic ceremony takes place immediately before the first dedicatory session. After the temple is dedicated, it is open only to LDS Church members who adhere to prescribed standards. Many such members waited patiently with their families on this beautiful summer morning, excited to be a part of the cornerstone ceremony for the Payson Temple. Elder Kent F. Richards, executive director of the church’s Temple Department, welcomed the crowd and spoke briefly. In ancient times, he said, the cornerstone was a key building support. But today, the cornerstone is symbolic, he added, citing Ephesians 2:19-21: “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apos-
tles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord.” Church leaders who were present and helped to seal the cornerstone included President Henry B. Eyring, Elder Quentin L. Cook and his wife Mary, Elder Kent F. Richards, William B. Sonne and Mary Elizabeth B. Sonne (president and matron of the Payson Temple) and other members of the Payson Temple presidency. As the leaders returned to the temple for the dedicatory session, all of the children and youth present were invited to come and participate by daubing a bit of mortar on the cornerstone. Children as young as 3 years old waited patiently in line for a chance to help seal its edges. The Payson Temple serves 93,000plus LDS Church members residing from Mapleton to Delta. Announced on January 25, 2010, it is the 146th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Ground was broken and the site was dedicated on Oct. 8, 2011. Situated on a 10.63-acre site, the 96,630-square-foot temple is the 15th temple built in Utah and the third in Utah County. Article republished from the Mapleton News.

TRIATHLETES Continued from page A1
The public can meet Miss Springville/Mapleton Madison Monson at the Springville Public Library each Tuesday and Wednesday through July as she helps children sign up for the library’s summer reading program. Dave and Gabie Heywood meet with six-time world Ironman Champion Dave Scott.
world. They signed up with wellknown relief agency Save the Children, which had a team of fundraisers competing in Ironman Texas. As members of the team, they committed to raise at least $10,000 for the organization. Save the Children supports children everywhere by providing education programs, food, shelter, medical treatment and relief during natural disasters. On race day they both entered the waters of Lake Woodlands and started swimming toward their goal. They were quickly separated in the crowd of swimmers. Gabrielle had recently learned that she could suffer from sports-induced asthma and on race day she discovered that she could only control her breathing if she used a backstroke instead of the freestyle stoke she had used for training. Dave, who had come out of the water a few minutes ahead of his daughter, was worried because he didn’t know where she was or how she was doing. As he got on his bike he pushed forward with his own race, knowing there was nothing he could do at this point to help her. He remembers feeling very relieved when a young lady passed him on a bike 11 miles into that portion of the race and said, “Hi Dad.” “She didn’t wait around for me,” he said. “She’s a strong biker and she quickly was out of sight.” After Gabrielle passed her father they both settled in for what promised to be a seven- or eighthour bike ride through the rolling hills northwest of Houston. Things appeared to be going according to plan for the next hour and a half for Dave. Suddenly the plan changed. As Dave crested a hill just before the 30-mile aid station and began to pick up speed in the descent, a mechanical malfunction caused his bike’s chain to come off the rear wheel. This caused his rear wheel to lock up at a speed of about 20 miles per hour. Heywood went into a fishtail skid and finally lost control and crashed the bike. He was not seriously injured, but he claims his only trophy from this race “is the road rash on my elbows and knees.” With more than 80 miles still left in the bike portion of the race and his bike no longer able to function, the race was over for Dave. Trouble was ahead for Gabrielle too. About 90 miles into the ride, she began to experience numbness in her shoulders, neck, and jaw. Post-race evaluation caused Gabrielle and Dave to wonder if the 2.4 backstroke had caused those muscles to fatigue in a manner she wasn’t accustomed to. Gabrielle pulled into the medical tent at the next aid station and described her symptoms to the medical personnel there. In addition to the numbness (which they all agreed was not normal at all), they discovered she was severely dehydrated. They made the decision to not allow her to continue for her own safety. “I was very disappointed,” she said. “I didn’t go to Texas to not finish. There is no doubt in my mind that I will go back and I will finish this race.” Both father and daughter agree on that point.
In spite of the fact that they didn’t accomplish the goal of finishing the Ironman, the both look to the positive things that happened and consider the overall experience a great success. “We learned a lot that will help us prepare for the next time. And more importantly, we raised over $11,000 dollars for Save the Children. That money provides real help to children and relieves real suffering. We are very grateful to the many people who generously donated to Save the Children as a result of our fundraising.” In addition to the many individuals who donated, the Heywoods would like to also thank the local business that supported their efforts. Generous donations were made by Heritage Builders, LLC; Wasatch Land & Title; Larson Certified Public Accountants; Big O Tires; Rock Canyon Bank; and McKell, Christiansen & Wise, PLLC. Without their support, the fundraiser would not have been nearly as successful. For anyone still interested in making a donation to Save the Children, the Heywoods’ fundraising page will be open through the end of the year. Simply go to “savethechildren.kintera.org/ironmantx/im_gabie_and_dave” and click the “give now” button.
Miss Springville/Mapleton promoting reading through contest Twenty-five years ago, Madison Monson’s great-grandparents built a school and library in a poverty-stricken village in Mexico. Along with her family, she has provided ongoing support for this school by collecting books, toys, clothing and school supplies. Even at a young age, she found ways to contribute by sacrificing her Happy Meal toys to donate to these children. Through their work, her great-grandparents taught her first-hand that service and literacy were keys to a better life. Madison was crowned Miss Springville/ Mapleton 2015 in March and has chosen to donate her time to encouraging children in the community to “Read to Succeed.” Madison knew that there was a similar need to encourage literacy in our community and that she could apply what she had learned in Mexico to make a difference. Springville and Mapleton elementary schools are in need of additional community support. There are students that are not reading at grade level and do not have access to a variety of books in their homes. She helped fulfill this need by organizing a book drive to build a stronger take-home reading library program. Through the combined efforts of fam-

ily, friends and our community, Madison collected over 1,000 books and over $500 in donations for Cherry Creek Elementary School. This contribution will grant each child access to books that interest them and motivate them to read outside of class and allow the school to purchase grade-specific books designed to improve literacy skills. In addition to satisfying the need for books and resources in our elementary schools, Madison has continued to encourage our local children to read. She has read in classrooms and spoken at assemblies and is currently focusing on summer reading in order to prevent the “summer slide” where children regress due to lack of reading.A student can maintain his or her reading level by reading as few as six books. During the month of May, Madison presented assemblies to eight different elementary schools, working with the Springville City Library to promote its Super Hero summer reading program. To date, more than 3,000 children have signed up and participated in the weekly events. As an added incentive to encourage summer reading, Madison has created a “Miss Springville/Mapleton Super Reader” contest. She has teamed up with local businesses to provide prizes to the children ages 8-12 who read throughout the summer. For each book a child reads, they receive a ticket to a drawing for prizes including a bike donated by Schouten Orthodontics. You can see Miss Springville/Mapleton at the Springville City Library each Tuesday and Wednesday through July. Stop by and enter her reading contest and check out the great activities and programs the library has to offer.

Walker Sanderson Funeral Home is hosting its second annual car show on July 18 with all proceeds being donated to the American Legion Post #72 Honor Guard. Shown is the 2014 First in Show entry from Dan and Jean Brown.
Walker Sanderson Funeral & Crematory By Tara Joyner It’s that time of year again where hot dogs, rodeos and car shows are the “norm.” Walker Sanderson Funeral Home is hosting its second annual car show on July 18 with all proceeds being donated to the American Legion Post #72 Honor Guard. While it may be a bit unusual for a funeral home to have a car show, the Walker Sanderson family and staff are comfortable with that branding. “We want to honor and recognize our American Legion.” As a funeral home, we see what the American Legion contributes to our community. Approximately 12 to 15 of these men show up every time to administer Military Rites for deceased veterans at the cemeteries, sometimes two to three times a day. They cover approximately seven different cemeteries. They fold the flag and give it to the next of kin, the 21-gun salute is rendered and “Taps” is sounded by the bugler. All of this is done on their own dime. The American Legion also sponsors Boys and Girls State where the
youth get a first-hand experience in how government operates. They also sponsor an oratorical contest to test the youth’s knowledge of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They can win prize money toward their education and get political science credits. The benefit car show will be held Saturday, July 18, from 4 to 8 p.m. on the front lawn of the Walker Sanderson Funeral Home, 646 E. 800 North, Orem. The event is free to the public. The car show will be selling JDAWGS famous dogs and a dunk tank will be set up to get your favorite person wet. There will be a live band and lots of fun prizes donated from local businesses. Dash plaques will be given to the first 50 entries. People wishing to enter a classic car, motorcycle or rock crawler will be charged $20 for each entry and $5 for each additional car. Please come support this important event and enjoy the many veterans who serve. If you have a chance to speak to a veteran, listen to his or her story. Be sure to tell them “thank you!”

Embroidery sampler shows pioneer craftsmanship By Janeene Whitelock & Cynthia Peacock Samplers were a beginner’s practice for embroidery. Most young girls were taught how to do this ornamental needlework. This sampler is worked on fabric made from some of the first cotton grown in Utah. The embroidery was done by Mrs. Samuel Knight of Santa Clara. The first cotton grown in Utah was raised from about a quart of seed obtained from Mrs. Anderson in Parowan, Utah, in the spring of 1855. The experiment was made by Colonel L.P. Hardly and Samuel Knight, who were laboring on the Santa Clara under Jacob Hamblin as Indian missionaries. From this small beginning, enough cotton was produced
to weave about 25 yards of cloth suitable for underwear. Separating the seed from the cotton was done by hand as was the cording, spinning and weaving. This work was performed by the wife of Samuel Knight. The sample piece of this product is an interesting relic. Not withstanding its coarseness, it shows that trained hands were used in its manufacturing. It is another evidence of the sterling qualities of the first settlers of the intermountain regions whose creative works were manifest in so many different ways. This sampler and another may be seen at the DUP Museum in the Payson City Center. Come visit the museum and view all the interesting artifacts on display. Schedule your tour by calling 801-4652044.

This is the ultimate highlight for the kids at the end of the year. Now, Nicolai is 6 years old and was still in kindergarten. So what kind of car does a kindergartener want? I asked about all the obvious choices: Batmobile? No. A police car? No. A racecar? No. So finally out came the question “What do you want”? And of course he answered me with zero hesitation: A 1940’s Willy’s Jeep. This beautiful American icon and hero of countless friendly and unfriendly encounters - this is what the 6-year-old wanted. So the epic task began. In order to do it justice and really embody the spirit that we all love about this classic, I was going to need the right box. One that was a good proportion not only for the concept, but for Nicolai as well. That was much harder than we thought. Once the box had been located, Nicolai did the research. Through the Internet and various shows on the Military channel, he found what he wanted, identified the details and noted the color scheme. I remembered what his teacher had said
about this activity: “Let the kids do it themselves or the parents will get too carried away and it takes all the fun out of it.” I resolved to let him do everything other than cutting and hot gluing his Jeep together. It was over the course of one month that we would work on this little by little after school. Four cans of spray paint, a few missed hours of sleep, 10plus hot glue sticks, two bottles of white craft paint, some good music, a few trips to the hobby store, lots of contact paper and a couple of fruit snack breaks in between. He built this car from spraying the paint to the wheel design, the decal placement and the overall look. Yes, he knew what he wanted much sooner than I did. As we were enjoying the Elk Ridge Classic Car Show on June 27, Nicolai got to see a real 1945 Willy’s Jeep. With all the strength he had to contain himself after a serious shaved ice sugar rush, he managed to tell me that he wanted a picture of his Jeep with the real one. We were able to go home, pick up his car and park it right next to its more authentic counterpart. History in the making. For him, at least. In the end, Nicolai wanted something to be proud of. Something that would endure and last. And what other choice fits that description better than a Willy’s Jeep?
My lawn? It’s just dandy By SlowJoe40 Do they make a product called “Feed the Weed?” I ask this because a couple of weeks ago I bought a product that I thought was called “Weed and Feed.” It’s supposed to have a two-fold purpose: A) kill the “Weed” and 2) “Feed” the grass. So, I followed the directions on the bag and spread the stuff all over my yard. And then I waited for the weeds to die. And I waited. They didn’t die. Not only didn’t they die, they seemed to flourish. They may have even started to multiply. There were seemingly more weeds after I applied the “Weed and Feed” than there were before. That’s why I wonder if I used the wrong stuff. Everything would make more sense if I had somehow purchased a bag of “Feed the Weed” by mistake. [Just to be clear, when I say “weed” I am mostly referring to dandelions. I am not referring to marijuana. There has never been marijuana growing in my yard. That I know of.) There’s always one yard in the neighborhood where the dandelions are out of control. In our neighborhood, that yard is mine. Before you judge me too harshly, let’s consider the reasons it’s good to have dandelions in the yard: 1) If it weren’t for the dandelions, what would the kids pick when they want to make a bouquet for their Momma? Real flowers? The neighbors’ flowers?
2) Blowing the white, fluffy seeds off of the dandelion has been a favorite pastime of kids for generations. Who am I to stand in the way of childhood fun? C) They add some much-needed color to the yard. D) After reading “The Lorax” by Dr. Suess, I’m afraid to hurt the dandelions because they remind me too much of the Truffula trees. E) The bees need them for pollen. And bees are good, right? Okay, so the real reason I have so many dandelions is because I don’t really like yard work. Some people actually enjoy it. I tell those people they are welcome to come work in my yard any time. Hey, I’m trying. I used the “Weed and Feed.” (Unless, of course, it was “Feed the Weed.”) It was supposed to kill them. It didn’t. No matter what I do, they seem to come back. They’re unstoppable, like the Terminator. Really, I’ve only found one thing that is able to stop the return and growth of the dandelions: Winter! So, check back with me in December. I promise you there’ll be no more dandelions. (For a while, at least.)

Coach Alan Albright inducted into California Wrestling Hall of Fame By Lana Hiskey Alan Albright, counselor at Spanish Fork High School, was inducted into the California Wrestling Hall of Fame last month. When asked about being inducted into the California Wrestling Hall of Fame, Albright said, “One of the highlights is getting to see my former coaches and friends that made a difference in my life.” Albright was a two-time California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Champion and a high school First Team All-American at Norwalk High School in California. He had a high school career record of 102 wins with four losses. He was undefeated in his junior and senior years. Albright was a high school National Freestyle Champion and Third Place in the World in 1971 in Tokyo, Japan. He was a Big 8 Conference Champion and a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I “All-American” at Oklahoma
State University. In 1984, Albright coached Spanish Fork High School to its first state wrestling championship ever. Coach Albright was named High School Coach of the Year in 1984. Coach Albright then became the Head Wrestling Coach at Brigham Young University for 10 years. Coach Albright’s BYU teams won two Western Athletic Conference Championships. Albright was named WAC Coach of the Year twice. His teams won the Western NCAA Regionals and Private University National Championship. Albright was named National Private University Coach of the Year along with his teams being the Number One Academic Team in the nation. After BYU, Alan returned to a decade-long career of coaching at Spanish Fork High School and is currently a counselor at Spanish Fork High.

tendees and those selling at the market. “Spanish Fork and Salem are two of the places in Utah Valley that have always been known for the quality of agriculture produced here,” said Clark H. Caras, executive director of the Spanish Fork Salem Area Chamber of Commerce. “And we are very proud to say the heritage carries on and is featured in the goods offered fresh in the market here along Main Street.” Caras was quick to point out that one of the exciting things about the produce is that both the vegetables and fruits displayed for sale are literally being picked in the fields that surround Spanish Fork and Salem while shoppers are still in bed.
Lance Allred, the first deaf player in the NBA, recently held an inspiring basketball camp for deaf kids in Salt Lake City. As I entered the Sanderson Community Center of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, it first seemed to me that no one was communicating or providing instructions to those children. But as I paid close attention to what was actually going on, I saw plenty of coaching on the court and obvious excitement in those kids’ faces. Using sign language and facial expressions, Lance continually instructed and motivated those children to practice their basketball skills over and over again. Standing in the middle of the court at 6 feet 11 inches, Lance stood as a giant to me, not only Lance Allred with his team of coaches. in stature but in fortitude, determination and perseverance. Since his birth, Lance had to overcome Church league.

by two of my boys who gave me an LDS priesthood blessing. I was surrounded by my children, still wearing a BYU Cougar jacket. Alan, my son, said, “You better take that off or they won’t treat you here!” On March 7, 2013 — my 56th birthday - I had surgery. Doctor Randy Jensen described the problem as “hydrocephalus with an obstruction,” and he didn’t find a brain tumor. Another miracle happened. My children opened Kranky Franks for a twoday sale to cover the insurance deductible. Community support was incredible and the deductible was covered. I entered University Hospital with a BYU Cougar jacket but left with a red University of Utah School of Medicine hat. Thirty-eight years after injuring my knee, I now had insurance to fix it. In July of 2013, Dr. Kirk Kimball replaced my knee with an artificial knee. I left the hospital without a cast on my leg and walking. God took my leg as a youth and had now returned my leg. He is a real person, and the power of His Priesthood is real. Yes, “John” from “John’s Hill” and “Kranky” of “Kranky Franks” are the same person. On Thursday, July 16, 2015, I will return to Big Springs to hike to the saddle. Leaving from the upper parking lot at 8 a.m., it is approximately an 11-mile round trip hike. Come join me and see the true beauty of the area. It is a sacred spot.

Recently, I celebrated the 40th year (June 12, 1975) of breaking my leg at Big Springs. In 1975, soon after graduation from Provo High School, I accepted a job to assist Provo City’s “5th grade camp” at Big Springs up Provo Canyon. Camp started in 1969 and ran Monday through Friday with different activities each day. Thursday was the hike to Cascade Saddle. However, we encountered snow on the trail. Instead of hiking, we slid on the snow. While sliding, the heel of my right foot hit a “indent” in the snow, and I broke my leg. A stretcher was built, and I was carried two-and-one-half to three miles, then driven to the hospital. My leg was X-rayed. The head of the fibula was broken and I was placed in a cast for six weeks. The hill we were sliding was named “John’s Hill.” I am the “John” of John’s Hill. When the cast was removed, however, my leg was unstable. My mother insisted we visit another doctor. He determined I didn’t have an Anterior Cruciate Ligament. When I broke my leg, I also severed my ACL. This would lead to three reconstructions of my knee, one before mission and two following. Fast forward. In 2008, I opened a hot dog restaurant called “Kranky Franks.” I was “Kranky” and my wife Taffy was “Frank.” After five years, Taffy noticed I was acting differently and felt something was wrong. She drove me to the emergency room; they recommended a CAT scan followed by an MRI. Their diagnosis: “You have a small tumor at the base of your brain. This has closed the natural “drain” in your head.” Known as “hydrocephalus,” it needed to be corrected. We selected the University of Utah for the surgery. Upon arriving, I was greeted

AN ENVIRONMENT OF COOPERATION
CREATES NUMEROUS SEEDS OF OPPORTUNITY
The staff of Behling Insurance invites the public to join them as they celebrate 50 years in business with a family fun event on July 31 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at their office located at 861 S. 500 West.
Behling Insurance celebrates a 50-year legacy By Kathy Anderson The oldest operating insurance agency in Payson, Behling Insurance, is celebrating 50 years of legacy this July. Rex Lee Behling founded Behling Insurance in 1965 in the front room of his modest home. As the business continued to grow, Behling Insurance has occupied several historic locations in Payson including an office adjacent to the Huish Theater, a historic building on the corner of Utah Avenue and Main Street, and its current location at 861 South 500 West. Rex was one of the first Farmers, State Farm and Farm Bureau agents in Payson. He also ran a farm of 100 acres with around 200 dairy beef. He loved the land and was a gifted master of the soil. In fact, he was one of the first to grow Royal Gala apples in the area. He passed his love of the land and hard work ethic to his children and grandchildren including the current owner of Behling Insurance, his son Richard Behling, and local agent and granddaughter Lois Heber. Families and farmers still trust Behling Insurance today because of the personal service and attention to detail they give each client. Behling Insurance offers plans from over 15 different carriers to ensure they can serve each client’s needs both commercial and personal. It is rare and unusual to find a situation that Behling Insurance cannot take care of. They are even licensed in multiple states to serve the needs of clients that have moved near and far. They are the only Master Farmer Certified Agency in Utah and the only agribusiness and farm insurance specialist in the area. Richard is proud to be part of this 50-year legacy
of Behling Insurance. Looking back, Richard remembers his dad’s office at home and being told to play outside or stay quietly in the basement while he worked, but that did not stop him from “helping out.” One year, Rex won a fishing trip and while away, Richard and his siblings took their dad’s fliers and brochures. The kids passed them out door to door, making sure to hit every house. At first Rex was a little upset, but it turned out to be one of his best years for his insurance business. “Payson is not the typical Mormon town,” according to Richard, and it’s one of his favorite parts of being a proud Lion in Payson. Raised in Payson, Richard believes in the town and loves the history surrounding the area. “Payson was known for gambling and horse racing, had multiple bars and even a brothel,” Richard explains. He loves to share the unique history that surrounds the Payson area, especially with the Boy Scouts while he helps them earn their citizenship merit badge. Looking to the future, Richard boasts that Behling Insurance will be here 50 years from now with Behling blood leading the way. Richard, Lois and the staff of Behling Insurance would like you to join them as they celebrate their 50-year legacy on July 31 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at their office located at 861 S. 500 West. This will be a family fun party complete with face painting, bouncy house, games and good food. For more information about Behling Insurance and how they can protect your family and your budget, visit www. BehlingInsurance.com or call 801-4654893.

Chamber, Rotary award 24 scholarships By Clark H. Caras With this year’s success in terms of support from local businesses and community leaders in the May golf tournament sponsored by the Spanish Fork Salem Area Chamber of Commerce and the Spanish Fork Rotary Club, a total of 24 scholarships were awarded during the recent banquet held at the Chillon Reception Center in Spanish Fork to graduated seniors from five of the community’s local high schools. The golf tournament, held for more than 20 years at the Spanish Oaks course, attracted approximately 30 four-person teams this year that were each in the running for a chance to win a Jeep Wrangler from Doug Smith Auto with a hole in one a par 3 and another hole in one on the
course’s other par 3 would have seen the winner go home with $10,000; but needless to say neither saw a hole in one, but some did come very close. For the past 20 years, the tradition with the scholarships has been the awarding of $1,000, but this year because of growing support over these past many years and a good investment of funds, the scholarships were all raised to $1,500 for the six young men and 18 young women who vied for and won the cash awards that are to go for education. The five high schools represented in the awarding of scholarships were Spanish Fork High School, Salem Hills High School, Maple Mountain High School, Landmark High School and Legacy High School.

‘Finger Foods’ by Joyce Tanner Whiting Kyle DeGroff of Arizona recently visited Springville to sell his handmade pens as part of the Art City Days celebration. DeGroff is selling the pens to fund his mission for the LDS Church.
The Value of Work By Kyle DeGroff The business “Let It Be Written” was started by KC DeGroff, a high school senior in Mesa, Arizona. KC creates handmade pens in an effort to earn money to serve a full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. KC has always stated his mission would mean more if he earned the money for it himself. KC has attended art shows all over Arizona, California and Utah in an effort to reach this goal. In June, “Let It Be Written” attended the Springville Art City Days celebration. KC had many sweet experiences while attending the show in Springville. One such experience occurred when a young man visited KC’s booth several times throughout the show. During each visit this young man admired a certain bolt action pen. On Friday night this young man entered the booth once again and picked up the coveted pen. His mother pulled KC aside and explained that her son really wanted this pen so he cut lawns and performed other tasks for people in the neighborhood to earn the money he needed. KC was touched by the determination of this young man and explained that he
would be willing to just give him the pen. The mother responded, “NO! Please let him pay for it. I want him to realize the value of his work.” The young man approached KC holding the pen and pulled the money he had earned from his pocket. The pen was priced at $50. However, the young man only had $40 and asked KC if he would be willing to take that for the pen. KC agreed and upon receiving the money exclaimed, “Enjoy the pen! I know you worked hard for it.” In this sweet, simple experience, two young men realized the value of their hard work. Shortly after this experience, a family purchased several pens and gave KC extra money above and beyond the price of the pens to put toward his mission fund. This reminds me of the principle that Jesus Christ taught which states, “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them” (Matt. 7:12). KC witnessed this principle in action and has realized how true it is even today. Visit letitbewritten.net to read more about KC and purchase his pens in order to support him on his journey to fund his mission.
Increase your business profits by knowing your break-even point By Robyn Kimpton Is your business breaking even? Did you know that 95 percent of all new businesses fail in the first five years? The reason most of these fail is due to accounting issues. Business owners want and need to know how much revenue they need to bring in each month in order to pay their bills. One of your most important tools to help you with this is the Break-Even Report. With my clients, I’ve found that the right reports give them the info they need to make the right changes to make their businesses run better and increase their profits in the process. A break-even point tells where you become profitable. The calculation to do this is Break Even = (Fixed Expenses + Discretionary Expenses) ÷ Gross Profit Percent.
A good bookkeeper can save companies more money than they cost. The cost is really pennies on the dollar. Through the break-even analysis, I personally helped a business increase its sales by almost 25 percent as well as lower its costs. A good bookkeeper can do the same for you. You can go to my website to calculate your break even at www.GraniteBookkeeping.com. First, print a one-year Profit and Loss Statement. If you have fixed Owner Draws, add them to your Fixed Expenses. On my website, click on the Calculation link or go to the Calculation page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at Robyn@GraniteBookkeeping.com. Happy increased profits!

une is the month of wedding receptions. Sometimes the food at a reception is really great – like the appetizers and desserts guests enjoy at receptions held in the Whitings’ garden in Springville. Joyce Whiting is not only a gardener but also a cookbook author who enjoys creating and sharing recipes through her book “Finger Foods: Elegant Treats and Bite-sized Eats for Every Occasion.” The book is an affordable paperback edition featuring photos of her garden and tables laden with beautiful food. Whether you are catering a wedding or serving your family, these are recipes worth having. Some of the favorite recipes in the book include Lemon Tassies, Chocolate Bombes, Tomato/Olive Bruschetta and Reuben and Cucumber Sandwiches. When Grandma Joyce (the name she used to sign my book) graciously catered the recent author’s night at the Springville Library, I was able to taste these dishes and more. Since they could all be eaten without a fork, we could hold our books and eat our treats. Whiting shares her expertise on everything from serving plate sizes to menu combinations for any party you may be planning. The tips included with recipes encourage inexperienced cooks to try dishes like Coconut Butterflied Shrimp and Cashew Chicken Rolls.
“I get concerned that so many folks think that cooking from scratch is hard or that you have to be a gourmet chef to make something wonderfully tasty. Scratch cooking isn’t hard and it’s so rewarding for those who need a creative outlet,” said Whiting in a recent interview. She continued, “But don’t discount pre-packaged time-savers either. I’m the first to admit that a brownie mix, and I have my favorite brand, is just as good as most scratch brownie recipes. It’s what you do with the mix that makes the difference.” Whiting wrote the 217 page book after being constantly asked for recipes and has been surprised by the response when it came out just a few months ago. “The response has been positive,” she said. “But who is going to tell the author they don’t like her cookbook? Many have expressed their delight at how easy most of the recipes are and most people comment on how great the book looks.” “Finger Foods” is available from the author, cedarfort.com and amazon.com. Barnes and Noble and other local bookstores also carry it or can order it. The author’s website is www.tableforfifty. com.
Scraper creates sawdust and works of art By Clint Woolley Who would be interested to read about a guy who makes sawdust? I’ve been called an artist. A few call me talented. In my mind I am neither. I just entertain myself with wood. I turn (on a lathe) beehive-shaped round boxes in my shop (garage) in Tooele County. My interest appears to be in making beehives more than selling them - a personality flaw, I guess. Eventually, when too many boxes of finished beehives accumulate in the house, I have to find new homes for them. That’s why I came to Springville’s Art City Days this year. With friendly people calling me an artist and/or talented, what’s not to like? I am just happy they like the end result of my hours of making sawdust. Turning for me began in the early ‘90s. I bought a Sears Craftsman wood lathe with no idea how to use it. Over time, by trial and error, I learned how to turn it on. Small bowls were my first opponents. Thank goodness for sandpaper. There in lies the rub. With no training on proper technique, I became a “scraper”
rather than a “turner.” To me, a true turner knows how to “ride the bevel.” That technique refers to the angle and area of the cutting tool that is held against the wood being turned. Done properly, it will provide a much smoother finished surface greatly reducing sanding. Scraping requires a lot of sanding. Hence, my moniker, the sawdust maker. After more than 20 years, I still consider myself an amateur turner. But to this day, I love to look at different hardwoods and wonder how they would look together in a beehive round box. I love Utah and enjoy promoting it. Whether people come here for religion, business or the scenery, it is a great place to experience. I feel a sense of service to know that my beehives not only end up in Utah homes but in other states and even a few other countries as well. My hope is that each time the new owners look at their beehives they will be reminded of Utah’s people, its history and its beauty. I am thankful to live here. Reach me at utahbeehive@hotmail.com.

t’s that time of the year again; school is out and children are on vacation, causing us to make fun plans for things for them to do. Getting a daily dose of sun, regular exercise and nutritious meals, most children will be out and about or sitting watching TV or playing video games. With this likely scenario for the vast majority of children during the summer months, parents need to have some “tools” at their disposal to continue on the healthy road so as not to contract viruses at swimming pools, infections etc . With that said, I have developed somewhat of a medicine chest to help keep the many ailments of summer from invading your home and family. The first and probably easiest way to keep your family healthy is to drink plenty of pure water, preferably distilled, every day. Each family member should have a bottle of water that gets refilled throughout the day, thus eliminating the need to drink out of water fountains or to purchase beverages laden with sugar from vending machines. Next is good, wholesome food. This can be achieved easily by always having fresh fruits and vegetables cut up and ready to eat. Add to this some whole grains, nuts and seeds to create energy and you have a health-promoting meal simply and easily. Meals do not have to be complicated. A simple quinoa/oatmeal for breakfast, a veggie wrap or homemade soup for lunch, and a green leafy salad with a lean protein (which can be a mixture of beans or a small slice of sustainably sourced chicken) for dinner is the best way to ensure that your children are getting the nutrients they need to have energy throughout the day and to sleep well at night. For an afternoon or evening snack, make up some delicious

green smoothies or have some more nuts and seeds along with some veggie sticks and a healthy ranch dip! I cannot stress enough the importance of some form of regular physical activity each day for at least 30 minutes as well as quality family time. It’s been proven time and again that children who feel loved and spend quality time with their parents get sick less often and perform better. Take a brisk walk or play an outdoor game with your children every day. It will do all of you a world of good! So have fun and enjoy the time with your children this summer. Remember Maceys Cooking Corner is every Thursday at 7 p.m. at Maceys Spanish Fork. We will resume again on July 30. For more information, call Afua Daines at 435-773-8280 or email her (which is better) at afua@1from2.com.
Classic Beauty Tip of the Month By Marci Aston Classic Beauty & Barber Coconut oil is an incredible source of medium chain fatty acids which have been shown to have many health benefits. Hair Mask: Coconut oil is a creamy solid at room temperature and turns to liquid when heated to 76°F. While in the shower, melt your coconut oil by running the jar under the warm water. After shampooing, apply a generous amount of oil to wet strands and twist hair into a bun. Let it sit for at least five minutes before rinsing to add moisture and shine back into limp locks. Body Oil: As a solid, coconut oil’s creamy texture makes it the perfect light moisturizer to slather all over. Apply a quarter-sized amount right after you get out of the shower so it can sink into your warm skin. Enjoy the light tropical scent that lingers after it’s applied. Add in drops of peppermint or lavender oil for a massage mix. Lip Balm: Chapped lips don’t stand a chance against ultra-hydrating coconut oil. Scoop some into a spare contact lens holder and throw it in your purse so you can dab it on with your finger throughout the day. Frizz Fighter: Rub a pea size amount of coconut oil between your fingers to warm it up, then apply it to the bottom couple
inches of your hair for allday frizz protection. If you have t h i c k e r, coarser hair, apply the coconut oil from mid-shaft to ends for added frizz control. Bonus: It also leaves hair extra shiny and soft! Body Scrub: Mix a half cup of sea salt or sugar with an equal amount of melted coconut oil, and then use your hands to rub it over any rough patches of skin. The scrub moisturizes while removing dead skin cells. The result: skin that’s baby soft. Add a little more salt or sugar for the extra tough skin on your feet and elbows. Shaving Cream: Ran out of shaving cream? Coconut oil to the rescue! Just warm the jar under the water and smooth onto skin before shaving. Your razor will glide smoothly, allowing for a super-close shave, and your skin will be moisturized from the oil in the process. Tip: shave outside the shower. The oil is very slippery, it will be easier if your hands are dry. For more beauty tips, stop by Classic Beauty & Barber and receive $5 off!
Sip’N: Sweet Treats for Summer now in Payson and Spanish Fork By Amy Baird
O
K. Let’s talk about this little heat wave we have been experiencing. Over 100 degrees is not my favorite. You can go swimming, to a splash pad or just sit by the A/C vent. But sometimes you need a treat. Something to help you endure this heat wave. Well, I have found a new favorite place for tasty treats and refreshing drinks: Sip’N. For a change, I decided to take my family with me on this food review adventure. My brother-in-law and niece were visiting from Arizona, so we brought them along. My niece Sophie ordered the sugar cookie and said, “This is the best sugar cookie I have ever had. It is just so creamy and the frosting is not too sweet.” But don’t think that those perfect sugar cookies are all they have. I mean their name is “Sip’N,” as in drinks. And they definitely have the beverage options covered. They’ve got everything from the Pink Flamingo (red cream soda, coconut, and cream) to the Lion’s Roar (diet Mountain Dew with mango puree). I am pretty confident that you could find a drink for your specific taste at Sip’N. Nick got the Maui Wowie (diet Mountain Dew, coconut and peach) and he loved it. I got the Berry Fresh, which was Fresca mixed with mixed berries. Mmmm. Refreshing sparking soda with berry goodness mixed in - oh, and don’t forget the pebble ice (they sell it by the bag). In addition to their signature sodas, they also have frozen hot chocolate (like chocolate paradise in a frosted plastic cup) and smoothies. My brother-in-law Alex went for the Peach Pear Apricot smoothie. He described it as “heralding back to the traditional fresh market fruit stand.” He chose lemonade for his smoothie base, but you can also have milk or water. Ok, now for the desserts. We already know the sugar cookies are divine with their pink frosting, but there are more to choose from. Nick got the “mint Oreo” which is two soft chocolate cookies with mint frosting. I swear they spent years perfecting the flavor blends so that it is just the right amount. It was chocolate minty perfection. My daughter, Eliza,
was excited to come with me for this review. She ordered the double chocolate cookie. She said, “It tastes really good,” when I was able to get her to stop eating to respond to my question. Alex got the chocolate peanut butter bar. He said, “Sometimes the peanut butter bar has chocolate that overwhelms the flavor of the whole bar. This peanut butter bar has a nice balance. It is very creamy and it just flakes apart in your mouth. It is a nice texture, not too dense.” I was a fan of the peanut butter bar as well. It had the perfect flaky texture with a nice amount of chocolate frosting that made it easy to eat the whole bar (if you would want to do something like that). Ok, now for the surprise treat that blew my mind. Are you ready? Perfectly cooked French fries, melted cheddar cheese and ... wait for it ... BACON. Yes, big chunks of delicious bacon. They call it “loaded fries.” I call it addictive. The fries were hot and crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The cheddar cheese just melted all over everything and then the bacon pieces. Wow. Just wow. So what I am trying to say here is, don’t just come and get a 32-ounce drink and a cookie (although that is a marvelous experience), do yourself a favor and order those loaded fries. The thing that really made my day, though? Sip’N is opening up a new location in Spanish Fork. Now that I am officially addicted, I won’t have to drive too far to get my treat fix. The new location is at 11 East. 300 South, Spanish Fork. They will be in the old Johnny’s Drive Up location. Sip’N is keeping Johnny’s employees and is excited to continue the heritage that Johnny’s started. Johnny’s owners are also on board and excited to have someone local take over the location. The Payson Sip’N is located at 865 Highway 98. Sip’N is open Monday to Thursday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
