The move is called the “Ol Swoosh”. It’s a flat foot jump, but backwards. Weston Rutowski and Daryl Thiessen were standing behind the shotgun chute telling Chuck Swisher to do it. Dusty Tuckness was the first to try it in January and Weston tried it in July, only three people have attempted it. “I put my faith in God and knew I had to do something spectacular to win the event.

Thank God it worked and thanks to my friends for pushing me to the limit everytime we enter the arena”, stated Swisher.

WE HOPE YOU ENJOY READING SERVE DAILY. WE ASK THAT YOU MAY ACT AND SERVE OTHERS. LOVE. GIVE. FORGIVE. REPEAT.

On Saturday September 27th we celebrated. That day marked Brooke’s 6th year to the day since her diagnosis with Type 1 Diabetes. It may seem strange to celebrate the anniversary of her diagnosis with this dreaded disease, however, we celebrate her Life! We celebrate that God has entrusted her into our care! We celebrate her strengths! We celebrate the fact that there have been significant advancements in diabetic care, largely due to organizations like the JDRF who are relentless in their quest to find a cure. There have been significant advances in Type 1 diabetic care in the past few years.

Since age four, Brooke has championed the fight against diabetes. She battles fearlessly everyday and is a strong supporter

of the JDRF, raising funds to further the research. She truly is Fighting For a Cure.

In a “twist of fate” the JDRF’s “Walk to Cure Diabetes” just happened to fall on her anniversary date. It was a torrential down pour on Saturday, September 27th, but come rain or shine, we were going to walk. The sky’s broke just long enough to walk unweathered.

The highlight of our celebration culminated that evening however, in another “Twist of Fate”. The 1st Annual “Fighting for A Cure Freestyle Bullfight” in Spanish Fork inaugurated on Brookes anniversary! www.fighting4t1cure.com Brooke was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the T1D kids to escort the bullfighters. Brooke drew the name “Swish” for Chuck Swisher, an amazing man from Oklahoma to be her bullfighter. He was very engaging with Brooke from the get go.

Build For Hope.

Reclaiming Lives.

By Lyle Hadlock

Lyle Hadlock

Lyle Hadlock’s first Hope Chest, with painted sunflowers by Donald Allen.

I’ve been known to collect things from dumpsters, behind buildings, yard sales, etc, and my wife even accuses me of being a pack rat. You’ve heard the saying “One man’s trash, is another man’s treasure”? I’ve found this to be true in many situations.

Along with my passion for music, I have a passion for creating and building things out of wood and junk that I’ve come across in my travels.

When my first daughter graduated from Highschool, I built her what was

my first attempt at a hope chest, from wood I was given that was lying behind a grocery store that had closed it’s doors.

With the mentorship of my good friend and craftsmen Allen Houtz, a masterpiece was born. I then went to another friend the renouned artist Donald Allen and asked if he would paint my daughter’s favorite flower, a sunflower on one of the front corners. A few days later he called and said it was done. I was astounded beyond words, when I saw that he not only had painted a sunflower, but many of them. The front of the hope chest had become a masterpiece. What once was destined to end up in a dumpContinued on page 4

Business and Personal Safety

By Bill Wright There are many ways that we can protect ourselves as we go through our daily routines as citizens and as business owners. The following are some suggestion that may help you to refuse to be a victim of crime.

Business Owners. *Establish opening and closing procedures and train your employees on those procedures. *Train employees to watch for and report suspicious people and activity. *Have two or more employees present during opening and closing time. *Only keep a minimum amount of cash on hand. *Employees should not handle large amounts of cash while visible to the public. * Make bank deposits during the day with two people. *Vary your route to the bank. Go to the bank at different times and don’t stop along the way. *Ensure that your business’ interior and exterior are well lit and visible from the street. *Install surveillance camera equipment. Hang signs that announce you have camera surveillance. *Install a silent alarm system with a hidden panic button that notifies the security company if trouble occurs. *Make sure that you and your employees are educated on what to do during a robbery. *Keep doors locked before and after business hours.

Personal Security * Use locks on windows also install deadbolts on outside home doors and on garage doors. *Consider installing an alarm system. *Always have your keys in your hand when you approach your car. After getting in your car lock the doors. *Park in a well-lighted area. *Always carry your cell phone with you. When using your phone remember where you are at, be careful what information you are giving out on the phone.

Others around you may be listening, never give strangers personal information (social security number etc.) *Don’t leave valuables in your car in plain view. *Be aware of your surroundings, trust your intuition. If you feel like something isn’t quite right act on that feeling. Stay alert! *Walk with confidence-don’t act confused! *Consider carrying pepper spray or other personal safety devices. *When you travel don’t put all of your personal information on your luggage. *Don’t use flashy or expensive luggage, it is easily noticed.

These are just a few suggestions that will help you enhance your safety as you go about your daily activities.

The Payson Police Department is very interested in being a part of your efforts to be safe and secure in your homes and in public. Let us help you by scheduling a presentation of a program called “Refuse to Be a Victim.” Please call the Police Department at (801) 465-5240 to schedule a time for this presentation.

Benefits of working at Scout Camps

By David Johnson You may have asked yourself at some point “why should I let my teenage son or daughter work as a Council Summer Camp Staff Member?” I know I’ve had to answer that question hundreds of times to parents. While I always thought I gave a sound answer, it never came out as quite as eloquently and effectively as this answer I received from a former camp staffer who is currently serving an LDS Mission. He recently wrote: “Thank you for your trust in me. You could never know how much my experience working with and under your direction has prepared me for this mission.

I’ve had more people than I can count over the past few years ask me why I continued working at camp, especially as I had plans to serve a mission, and staffing at camp really doesn’t pay well.

Over the past five years my response has always been: Maple Dell is my home. It is where I learn, grow, and mature. There I am blessed with a chance to change lives, be nearer to God, and discover life-long friends. There I learn how to teach, interact, and lead. On top of that, I’ve learned how to keep a strict schedule, organize, and work hard. Maple Dell is, for me, the greatest mission prep that there is. Thank you for all you’ve taught me.”

Sincerely, Elder _________”

It is certain that this young man could have made more money working at McDonald’s for the amount of hours he worked at camp each week. The question becomes, is the growth experience and preparation for, not only a mission, but also for adult life, worth the lower pay and large time commitment? Is being isolated away from the world, living by high ideals, working hard as a valued team member, teaching skills to others, and being a role model to boys and their leaders valuable? According to this former camp staffer, and many others, it is.

Go to www.utahscouts.org/summerjobs to apply to work at any of our Council’s Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and High Adventure Camps for summer 2015. We have 12 camps located all around Utah that are hiring this winter for next summer.

LIBERTY SHALL BE MAINTAINED

Understanding Liberty

By Josh Daniels

Of Snares and Safety Nets “Those that much covet are with gain so fond, For what they have not, that which they possess They scatter and unloose it from their bond, And so, by hoping more, they have but less;Or, gaining more, the profit of excess Is but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain, That they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain.”

—William Shakespeare, The Rape of Lucrece

T

wo Thousand Fourteen marks the 50th year of the so-called “War on Poverty.” First declared by President Lyndon B. Johnson, the “war” has been a patchwork of social programs aimed at eradicating poverty in America. However, in a report published by the US House Budget Committee, 50 years of government programs have not worked. Instead of building a safety net, these programs have created a snare that sanctions something more akin to covetousness.

In Shakespeare’s poem “The Rape of Lucrece,” the villain Tarquin, consumed with lust, covets Lucrece, the wife of his military colleague. In the end, Tarquin gives in to his lust leading to the ultimate suicide of his victim. While Tarquin thought he gained something by his treacherous conquest, the reality is that he failed to gratify his desire and instead lived in guilt and shame. The lesson here is that covetousness leads us to desire what is unearned and that wrongful possession of the objects of our desire will leave us empty and scarred. So it is with the entitlement culture in America.

Many have succumbed to that siren song of redistribution that promises to vanquish poverty and need with the sword of government coercion. The collective voices of the social engineers demand tribute for their patron constituencies under the banner of social justice and on the quest to weave a mythical safety net. Unfortunately, once indulged we often learn that the desires of redistribution are never satisfied. This in turn leads to calls for more redistribution and with it a companion contempt for those in

need as those whose property rights are violated become disillusioned and angry.

Meanwhile, the very objects of these programs, those most in need, are ensnared in a cycle of dependence that robs them of dignity and self-respect leaving them empty and helpless in the long run.

Biblical law is clear on the topic of property rights: “thou shalt not steal” and “thou shalt not covet.” These simple edicts place a responsibility on men to know what belongs to whom and that these inviolate property rights place all forms of coercive plunder under moral injunction. As this edict is ignored by collective consent we see that slowly our rights and liberties have been replaced with IOU’s and compulsory participation in the programs of the state. This reversal of affairs has placed the people under the rule of the state rather than the state answering to the people. Incrementally, the people have given up their freedom in exchange for the security of government programs. Like the Rape of Lucrece, this exchange will leave both parties bankrupt in the end.

We can no longer afford the increasing debts and crushing taxes that force our posterity into underwriting our policy of state-sanctioned covetousness. It is not charitable to those in need, not fair to those who pay, and not practical as a matter of policy. It is plunder. Like a man who steals the wife of another while the husband is away, so are the policymakers who with the sword of government power rob the citizens for that after which they lust. Under the guise of social progress to fight poverty, the people have not built an effective safety net but a snare.

Volunteer groups will need to have the ability to pick up food items, deliver them, and help stock them in the pantry. Some heavy lifting of 25 pounds or more may be required. Interested groups please email:

FORGIVENESS, a poem

By Lyman Morris Have you ever been wronged by someone you know or even you don’t know to well? Have you looked in their eyes without saying a word and hoped that they soon would taste hell?

Have you prayed Karma’s true and you want to be round when the pendulum swings and their come-upping’s found?

Well don’t be too hasty, there’s already a plan that gives everyone back, what they give to man.

The law of the harvest, “You reap what

you sow” Brings everything back, be it friend be it foe. So when you see someone who’s done a bad deed Know that their planting and harvesting seed.

The trick is to not get caught up in their spite For how you see them will become your earned plight. Step back and let go, forgive and forget For letting it go will earn no regret.

If you follow this thought, cast it out to the throng You’ll find no one guilty of doing you wrong. Your harvest will always be pleasant and sweet And you’ll bless every soul and companion you meet.

Utah Offers Perks to Disabled Persons

Attention: Utah Residents with Disabilities who might be interested in Outdoor Activities Utah offers several hunting advantages for disabled persons. Approximately 10 years ago Bryan Hatch, a paraplegic who is confined to a wheelchair formed a small group of other fellow wheelchair bound sportsmen and together they lobbied with the DWR to set up most of these unique hunting opportunities. In 2010 the non-profit organization Chairbound Hunters was created. Recently this group has been renamed to Chairbound Sportsman and has received IRS nonprofit status. Chairbound Sportsman is a non-profit organization who is at the forefront of helping disabled persons participate in fishing and hunting activities at little or no cost to the participant.

The purpose of this article is to encourage anyone with disabilities who qualifies to take advantages of the outdoor fishing and hunting opportunities offered by the Utah Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR). If you already know about this great! Please pass it on to someone who might not be aware.

Let’s continue to help make Utah outdoors experiences more affordable and

accessible.

Of course, anyone who is confined to a wheelchair that might like help hunting needs to contact our organization.

We will do our best with the help of volunteers and sponsors to “Make Hunting More Accessible and Enjoyable”. Call (801) 499-9770 for more details or to volunteer.

Contractors Legacy Park in Springville

Did you know that at one time Springville was home of more General Construction Companies per capita than anywhere else in the United States.

The construction businesses working on railroad construction and the new freeway construction made Springville one busy and successful community for decades.

W.W. Clyde Construction Companies, Geneva Rock, Mendenhall, Thorn, Strong, Sumsion, Whiting, Reynolds and even more were headquartered and started in Springville. These companies made Springville a community with solid jobs and a solid financial center. Much of the success of Springville today was due to the influence of the Construction Companies of the past. W.W. Clyde Companies Inc. remains one of the Largest Construction Companies in the West.

To commemorate and celebrate the past construction business in a Springville the new Contractors Legacy Park was dedicated on Saturday, September 20th. Under the direction of Richard (Dick) Sumsion (Sumsion Construction and Valley Asphalt) money has been raised to start this park.

Nazi Concentration Camp (Ohrdruf) in Germany WW II

By F. Keith Davis We crossed the Rhine River at Koblenz, Germany and fought our way farther into Germany. We came upon a Nazi Concentration Camp named Ohrdruf, near the city named the same. When we went inside the camp, we were shocked by what we saw. We were used to seeing dead bodies on Utah Beach, St. Lo, Battle of the Bulge and at many other Fire Fights. But seeing the incredibly inhumane conditions and how the prisoners had been treated was just sickening. [We saw disturbing things.]

The Jewish and other prisoners were terrified of us at first, because of our uniforms. They thought they were in for more beatings, torture and cruelty. They soon realized we were not there to harm them. They were dressed in pajama like clothes with vertical black and white stripes and some were naked. At the entrance of the camp, the Nazi’s machine gunned many prisoners before they fled.

The G.I.’s were giving these prisoners Army Rations that they all carried.

The senior American doctor in the camp ordered everyone to stop feeding these people, because your killing them. Our food was too rich for their starving bodies. The weaker ones died eating our rations.

We went inside the barracks. Each side of the room were three tor four shelves for the prisoners to lie on. No straw, no blankets, just wooden shelves.

The prisoners looked at us with bulging eyes--sunken stomachs and reaching out to us. The barracks had an outhouse type toilet in the center. Men and women lived together and they lost all dignity they had. Between the smell of the outhouse, death, and the infections prisoners had obtained due to beatings, we had to exit the barracks. The barracks were made of one inch siding with no insulation. They were extremely hot in the winter and terribly cold in the winter.

The lack of sanitation was unbelievable.

American soldiers found a German camp guard hiding in a culvert at the entrance to the camp. He looked to be about my age of 19 years old. You could see the fear in his eyes. The Americans looked like they might form a lynching party, but the M.P.’s took him away and I never saw him again.

The Jews and other survivors were confused at the sight of their Liberators and the American soldiers could not believe what they were seeing. Adolf Hitler’s “Final Solution” was not yet common knowledge.

The Ohrdruf Camp was a satellite camp near the infamous Buchenwald death camp. Buchenwald had the crematories and Ohrdruf did not. Ohrdruf sent many prisoners to Buchenwald for cremation. However, Buchenwald, could not handle such immense amount of prisoners and so the two camps dug huge pits. Needless to say what happened with those pits. Others were shipped off on trains.

After about five hours in the camp, we had to leave and get back to the war.

Two days after we were there, Generals Eisenhower, Bradley, and Patton visited the camp to see the horror stories they had heard about.

We heard later that the U.S. Army made all the civilians in the city of Ohrdruf go through the camp to see the atrocities committed there. They all said they did not know this was going on.

They all lied. You could smell the camp a great distance away.

When prisoners were freed, they had no place to go. No home, no transportation, no money, no family, no clothes, and were starving.

There were over three hundred concentration camps in Germany. Some with crematories, some with gas chambers and many dug huge pits to destroy the evidence of Nazi cruelty.

We have much evil today. We cannot weaken our Military.

God Bless America!

Central Bank Awards Judy Reynolds Citizen of Quarter Central Bank presented Judy Reynolds with the Central Bank Good Citizen Award to honor her for the immense impact she’s had on Payson’s senior citizens. Reynolds received the award on Thursday, September 18 at a small open house at Central Bank in Payson.

Judy Reynolds spent many years caring for elderly members of her immediate family. In 2002, when her mother moved to Payson to live with her, Reynolds wanted her to have opportunities to make friends and to feel comfortable in her new community so she took her to Payson’s senior center to get her signed up. While at the center that day, she decided she wanted to work there with the seniors and spent the next 11 years doing just that.

Reynolds spent the first three years as a part-time employee at the center and worked full-time as the senior center director for the following eight years.

During that time she spent countless hours planning trips, organizing parties and meals, and arranging activities like ceramics, bingo, wood carving and line dancing to name a few. Reynolds also took great care and notice of the seniors outside of her duties at the center by making sure to pay hospital visits, send flowers to those grieving the death of a spouse, or by dropping by a senior’s home with a treat to brighten their day.

“I became very close friends with many people down at the center—it was my home away from home,” said Reynolds. “My love of the seniors is very strong. There are so many that really do need help and I feel like I did my part to make them happy and make them feel good.”

Reynolds says her husband of 44 years, Paul Reynolds, a Payson native,

helped her accomplish much of what she did at the senior center. From making little repairs at the center, to helping shop and cook for events, Reynolds said Paul was always very involved and willing to serve.

“Paul was my right-hand man the whole time. I couldn’t have done half of what I did without him,” said Reynolds.

Reynold’s is the proud mother of six children, and is enjoying the addition of 16 grandchildren. Though there were many times in her 11 years at the senior center that she missed out on things with her own family, Reynolds said she knew what she was doing there was very important and she’s grateful for the opportunity she had to help out.

How do you survive a suicide crisis?

If you have lost someone to suicide you are not alone. Each year over 36,000 people die from suicide. More people die in the United States from suicide than from homicide. How do you overcome a myriad of feelings, thoughts and physical symptoms? These could include but certainly not limited to shock, depression, disturbed sleep, loss of appetite, intense sadness, severe anger, guilt and sometimes even relief if a loved one has suffered from a long, difficult mental illness. Survivors try to answer the question of “Why?” over and over again.

Some replay their loved ones last days searching for clues. Many times there are no answers. 90 percent of all people who die by suicide have a diagnosable mental disorder most often depression or bipolar disorder. Suicide is complicated.

How do survivors try to cope? What do you tell others?

The following advice is from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention: Most survivors have found it best to simply acknowledge the fact that their loved one died by suicide. Reach out to family and friends. Take the initiative to talk about the suicide. Although difficult, maintain contact with other people during the painful and stressful time after a loved one’s suicide. Each person grieves at their own pace and in their own way. There are no set methods or timeline for healing. Some survivors find comfort in community, religious or spiritual activities. Be kind to yourself.

When you feel ready begin to go on with your life. Enjoying life is not a betrayal of your loved one, rather a sign that you have begun to heal.

Support options: Some survivors find it comforting to talk to others with similar experiences.

American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (www.afsp.org) has a list of survivor support groups and healing conferences in your area. AFSP’s website also lists extensive resources including books, advice, survivor stories, information about mental illness and suicide and ideas for helping children. Individual counseling with a mental health professional can help you through the grieving process. Again remember you are not alone, it is not your fault and healing will take time. *this information is from “Surviving After Suicide Loss” a pamphlet printed by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

ster now had a value you could not put a price on.

I have since built four more hope chests, all out of reclaimed wood. The last one was for my other daughter when she graduated from High School as well. I went to my artist friend, who now was 85 years old and he painted another master piece of her favorite flower, the daisey.

Another timeless treasure from discarded wood.

I’ve called the UPS truck I drive “ The Thinkabater” because many ideas have been born and become a reality while thinking about them as I’ve delivered parcels over the years.

Having had many requests to do a live concert, I was inspired with the idea of taking my love of music and love of woodworking and combining them into one event. This is how the “Hope For Tomorrow” Christmas concert and “Build For Hope” benefit for the Food and Care Coalition came about. I’m hoping many woodworkers will come forward after reading this article and give to our community their time and talent for the love of building for this great cause.

I have 200 year old wood on hand that came from an Opera House on the east

coast, as well as wood that was reclaimed from a barrack out in Topaz on the west desert, that housed the Japanes people during World War II. The hope chest that will be built from this material will have quite a history. These one of a kind Hope Chests will then go on public display in a silent auction at the Nu Skin Innovations building in Provo, for 2 weeks prior to the “Hope For Tomorrow” Christmas concert.

Creating these chests will do much in the great cause of reclaiming the lives of the patrons who enter the doors of the Food and Care Coaliton in Provo.

The concert will be held in the same location at Nu Skin in Provo Utah on Saturday, December 6th. All proceeds from the auctioning off of these beautiful chests will go to the coalition. We all have value and something to offer each other, that can make our lives more meaningful. Every dollar that is raised in this event equates to one meal and in feeding someone who’s in need. Come and join us in this great event and make a difference. Go to foodandcare.org and click your mouse on the title, “Hope For Tomorrow” to order tickets.

Speak kind words & forgive all.

Construction activity is in high gear along the US Highway 6 Corridor in Spanish Fork. Many new businesses will open their doors in the upcoming months which will bring new jobs and shopping opportunities to South Utah County. This corridor has the capacity to accommodate nearly a million square feet of retail space in addition to what exists and is currently under construction.

T h e largest of the new businesses is Walmart, who will be opening a Super-

center this winter. Others include retailers like Walgreen’s, Good Earth, Joann and Mattress Firm. Many of the other buildings that are under construction will house restaurants like Five Guys, Malawi’s Pizza, Café Zupas, Cubby’s, and Culver’s. The Nebo Credit Union is also building a new facility next to the existing K n e a d e r ’s restaurant.

We expect other companies to commit to specific locations in the next few months and we will share more information as it becomes available.

Springville High School history David French, follow up and opportunity for service

By M. Lee Taylor Part 2 of 2 As Springville grew and the need arose for additional school space, the citizens began a building frenzy, in cooperation with the newly organized Springville School District. The “Central School” in Mapleton, completed in 1899, was the first major school building erected in this period. Shortly afterwards, the Jefferson School was completed in 1902, the Lincoln School soon followed in 1903, and a few years later, the Grant School was completed, in 1906. By now the Central School was being referred to as the “Washington School”, perhaps to associate more closely with the presidential names of the three new Springville elementary schools.

As the demand for higher education grew, the community rallied behind the efforts to build a real High School, and in 1909 the original Springville High School building opened its doors, becoming the first public high school in Utah County. Just three years later, in 1912, work commenced on a new high school building, to the east of the original, which was completed in 1914. At that time Washington School became the elementary finishing school, with only the 5th and 6th grade classes being taught. The new high school building contained all of the latest features that a modern school could hope for, including an indoor swimming pool, an indoor gymnasium, a library, home economic and science rooms, and an auditorium of sufficient size to seat the entire student body.

It should be noted here that due to the success of the high school system in Springville, the Hungerford Academy suffered from a lack of enrollment which was cause for the school to close, and the beautiful building was demolished in 1912, after serving the community for only 26 years. The boys dorm was converted to a single level home on 200 South, and the girls dorm was remodeled to become Strong’s Apartments.

In 1924 the LDS Church initiated the Seminary program. As more students

flooded the halls of Springville High School, it became necessary to expand the building, and the south wing was added in 1927. In 1927, the Church commenced construction of the Seminary building near the high school, which was completed in 1928. The Seventy’s Hall continued to hold Industrial Arts classes for the high school, until completion of the new Industrial Arts building in 1930.

The Seventy’s Hall was then demolished, and the area was used to expand the playground area of the Washington School to the west. In 1935 the Washington School was determined to be a fire hazard, too dangerous to be used as a public school, and the doors were closed.

In 1935, during the height of the Great Depression, a ground breaking was held to herald the construction of a new Art Building for the Springville High School by the WPA. Construction, which continued through 1936, not only created desperately needed jobs for local workmen, when completed in 1937, it also created much needed classroom and art exhibition space for the high schools expanding art collection. Immediately after the Art building was completed, the WPA began another construction project just to the south of it, a new, modern gymnasium for the high school.

Simultaneously, demolition began on the old Washington School, and much needed building materials were salvaged and used in the construction of the new building, which was completed in 1939.

The campus was complete.

The new gymnasium not only provided space for much needed central lunch facilities, it also provided a venue for many high school activities. Previously, high school dances and basketball games were held in the basement of the old Opera House, which closed after a fire in 1927, and also in the Memorial Hall, which was constructed on the same site and foundation, in 1932. Additionally, the new gymnasium was used by community and church groups who sponsored basketball teams, as well as boxing and wrestling exhibition matches. Even the BYU basketball teams held some of their home games, until completion of the Smith Fieldhouse on the BYU campus in 1951.

Last year around this time we published a short article about David French.

A local resident of Spanish Fork who was in need of transportation as he is bound to a wheelchair. Here we provide a brief update.

David was able to get a new handicap van a Creme colored 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan in October of 2013 from Performance Mobility in Sandy. David’s best friend Bruce for the past 30 years, that lives in California, gave him and his wife $30,000 and with several oth-

er charitable donations towards the van David was able to obtain a 10 year loan on the balance.

Currently, David still owes $26,000 and has monthly payments of $365 while living on a disabled income. We would like to invite the community to reach out to this family and help pay off the van.

To make your donation contact David at (801) 995-9441 or go to a Wells Fargo Branch and donate to the account in his name. They are also accepting aluminum cans to be turned in for extra cash.

Four Months of ‘One World One Year’

By Britnee Johnston It’s hard to believe that my husband, Mark, and I are already a third of the way through our one-year journey around the world. We packed our bags at the end of May and have traveled to 16 countries throughout Asia, Russia and Europe since then. From large cities to remote islands, each country has provided its own adventure.

Early in our trip we entered Russia to ride on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Soon after arriving in the country we saw a TV news broadcast about a crashed airplane.

It was reported in Russian so we didn’t understand it and didn’t have internet access at the time to find out more.

We later learned that it was a Malaysia Airlines flight that was presumably shot down over Ukraine, and that the Russians were blaming American espionage for it. This worrisome news made us wonder how Russians would react if they realized we’re from the United States.

We had our answer two days later on a bus ride when a young Russian man said that the driver would kill us if he found out we were Americans, but to not worry because he told him we were Italians instead.

Concerns for our safety were heightened, however, we chose to stay in the country and complete the infamous train ride as planned. We spent 20 days in

Russia and were lucky that nothing bad happened to us. It might have helped that we started telling people we were from Canada.

It was a relief to finally exit the country and enter the safety of Scandinavia.

In Finland we stayed at a summer cottage with Mark’s extended family where we recovered from the crowded cities and summer heat of Russia, and before that, China. It was a much needed break where we enjoyed swimming and boating in the lake and lounging in a sauna.

From there we continued to Norway where we went north of the Arctic Circle to the Lofoten Islands. This was one of our favorite places we’ve visited with its stunning mountainous landscape.

Another place we looked forward to was the United Kingdom and returning to an English-speaking country. Mark was raised in Scotland before moving to Springville, so we met with his old school friends and traveled to the very north of Scotland for beautiful beaches and small villages. We also made our way to the west coast and were amazed by the tall, unusual rock formations at Isle of Skye.

Next, we are heading to Nepal in mid-October to trek in the Himalayas, and will spend the following four months in Southeast Asia before continuing to the Pacific and South America. To follow the adventures, visit oneworldoneyear. com and on Instagram @oneworldoneyear.

Cruising, a Dream Vacation specialty

By Jo Hoban, owner of Dream Vacation.

Fall is fast approaching. Next thing thing you know, Christmas will be here and gone. January through April is when most people have their vacations planned to go where it’s nice and warm with beautiful beaches. Whether it’s an all inclusive resort destination or a cruise, now is the time to book. Even if your price should go lower, in most cases it can be adjusted prior to final payment.

Most clients book five months to a year in advance to make sure they get the best price and availability.

The most popular vacations that I book for my clients is cruising. They are like floating resorts that visit three or four different islands on a seven night cruise. The newer ships blow my mind with all the creative entertainment and activities on board. On a variety of ships you’ll find bumper cars, roller skating rinks, ice skating, rock climbing walls, flow riders for surfing, 350 square foot outdoor movie theaters, bowling alleys, pool tables, sports complex for basketball, volleyball and tennis, water slides, miniature golf courses, golf simulators,

ropes course that includes walk the plank. It’s more like a beam about six inches wide and six feet long over the side of the ship 180 feet above the water!

You do wear a harness for that.

The newest ship, coming out this fall has an observation tower that is a glass walled capsule on the end of a 135 foot crane that will lift groups up to 14 people up & over the edge of the ship 300 feet above the sea! Wow what will they think of next! They call it the North Star.

Also the fun entertainment you’ll experience are Broadway Shows such as; Legally Blonde, Chicago, Rock of Ages, Hairspray, Mama Mia, Cats and the Illusionist to name a few. You can also see The Blue Man Group. They are a popular Vegas act. And the Second City Comedy group.

I think you get the idea of how much fun you can have cruising and you haven’t even been on the ship yet!

All of that is included in the price of your cruise as well as all of your meals!

Cruising is an excellent value and great fun.

Give a me a call at (801) 798-8304 or stop in the office on the top of center street at 1268 East Center in Spanish Fork to book your next Dream Vacation for memories that last a lifetime.

Remember to act for yourself.

The torrential rain by now had now turned the rodeo grounds into a slippery quagmire that was more of a muddy lake than an arena, but again, come rain or shine, or how dangerous it became for them, the bullfighters were going to fight for their kids!

Brooke’s cowboy bullfighter “Swish” fearlessly engaged the bull with enthusiastic athleticism and won the 1st “Go Round” advancing him into the finals. Swish then pulled out all the stops in the “Short Go” by drawing the meanest bull of the bunch and jumping backwards over the charging bull who was hell bent on goring him in the back with his horns! Even after the buzzer, Swish still continued engaging the bull and charged it as the bull charged him at full tilt. At the very last second Swish leaped the bull again, winning the championship and Brooke’s 10 yr old heart.

Did I tell you that Chuck Swisher is an amazing man? Not only did he give the coveted belt buckle to Brooke, but he donated $1,000 of his prize money in Brooke’s honor to the JDRF!

Mason D. Davis, Ben Isaacs, Aubrey Reynolds and Jakob Tice in a scene from 16 Stones.

“16 Stones” debutes in Utah theatres On October 1st, the new motion picture 16 Stones was released in Utah theaters. In this fictional story, three friends in 1830s Missouri embark on a danger-filled quest to find an artifact from the Book of Mormon--the 16 Jaredite stones that were touched by the finger of the Lord. Along the way they discover the importance that faith plays in their journey. Two Springville residents were cast as actors in this movie adventure.

Jakob Tice, originally from the Eastern U.S., has lived in Springville for the last five years. Since has graduation from BYU he has been a stage and screen actor in the area. In 16 Stones he plays the role of a tonic salesman who the principal actors meet in their quest for the glowing stones. In preparing for his role, Tice said he did a lot of personal research into “snake oil” salesmen of the 1800s.

He imagined his character as endearing so he could sell his goods and con people out of their money. At the same time, his character didn’t want people to know his product was bogus or let people discover the source of his business. Tice said the costume he wore helped him see his character as a successful, confident sales-

man. To round out his efforts to portray this interesting character he relied on the script and guidance from the Director.

Susan Phelan has lived in Springville for the past 18 years, coming originally from Virginia and New Jersey. She currently serves as president of Utah Women In Film, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting women filmmakers. In the movie, she plays a widow, who is hanging on to the one memento she has left of her deceased husband, as mobbers loot her possessions while attacking her village. Phelan began acting in her early teens, and has been involved in film and theater roles over the last ten years. Of the film, she said that 16 Stones takes “a new direction in LDS films that can be enjoyed by anyone who likes an adventure.”

While the movie portrays occurrences in Missouri and other eastern states, the movie was filmed entirely in Utah, and takes advantage of the great talent pool that exists in the Utah film community. The movie is playing in theaters throughout Utah and will expand to surrounding states on October 24.

Headed north for a BYU Game or to visit family? Try Tamarack in Provo.

By Amy Baird

Love at first bite: You had me at pumpkin soup.

Y

ou know that feeling when you take a bite of food and you know that there is no way that bite could be improved upon? It is the epitome of that food: the ultimate version. It was like the chef was a matchmaker finding the perfect partner for each ingredient.

Combine that culinary perfection with inviting surroundings decorated with natural woods, muted grays, and crisp whites and you will have Tamarack.

My husband Nick and I started our meal with the coconut shrimp ($11). The crust on the shrimp was light and crispy with a coconut breading. Alone they were delightful, but when dipped in the mango chutney sauce, they were divine.

We both ordered soup to go with our entrees. I ordered the pumpkin soup. I am a huge fan of everything pumpkin: pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, (you get the picture). The soup came out photo-ready with a dollop of maple whipped cream. The smell was enticing, like autumn combined with baking cookies. The deep, rich flavors of pumpkin combined with cinnamon and just the right amount of creamy goodness to make a delightful soup that begged to be classified as a dessert.

I felt pretty bad for my husband, because, honestly, what can compare with pumpkin soup? He had ordered the creamy potato soup. I envisioned that thick, starchy potato soup you get at some church gatherings. Boy, was I wrong. The soup came out with applewood smoked bacon crumble on top (it’s all about the pairings, I am telling you).

After the first bite, I was hooked. The flavor had a lot more depth than your typical potato soup. It also did the impossible, it was a rich potato soup that did not feel heavy.

The main dish. Are you ready for this?

I ordered the 12 oz. Black Angus rib eye, $19. I thought that I had experienced an excellent steak before. I was wrong. The steak was tender and perfectly seasoned and beautifully paired with a sweet potato hash. I was imagining hashbrowns; it was actually cubed sweet potatoes baked in a sweet maple brown sugar glaze. The flavors blended and highlighted each other to create a sublime experience. If you

ever want to experience steak taken to next level, go to Tamarack.

Nick ordered the chicken roulade (chicken wrapped around a filling made with mushrooms and cheese with a red pepper sauce), $14. The filling provided a nice contrast to the chicken. The deal breaker was the red-pepper sauce. It was delectable. The chicken roulade came with creamy mashed potatoes and a beautiful assortment of steamed julienned vegetables. The food was rich with complex flavors without being overly heavy.

My husband laughed because I said that while eating a steak. However, that was my overall impression of the meal. Even though I was eating a very rich meal, I still could sense the delicate flavors and it was very palatable.

We ended our meal with desserts.

Once again the food arrived and was beautifully plated; this was no sloppy scoop of peach cobbler. The peach cobbler had a sweet, light cake paired with not-overly-sweet peaches, which made a refreshing, warm treat ($8).

The star of the night though was the bread pudding ($8). It wasn’t the bread pudding I grew up with (sorry, Mom) with soggy and congealed bread bits in a thick sauce. This bread pudding has soft, firm cubes of cake slightly caramelized mixed in with bites of chocolate and cherries. It was a decadent combination that was honestly quite addictive.

Everything was plated beautifully. It seemed a shame to eat it, but I indulged.

The beautiful presentation combined with the rich flavors made for a sumptuous dining experience. If you ever want to eat some delicious food in a beautiful environment, this is the place. Think anniversaries, dates, girl’s night out, BYU pre-game meal, etc.

We only went for dinner, but Tamarack also offers breakfast and lunch options and is open daily from 6:30 am to 10 pm. I honestly don’t think you could go wrong ordering anything on their menu. Tamarack is adjacent to the Courtyard Marriott on 1600 North Freedom Boulevard in Provo.

Tamarack takes upscale dining to the next level.

Do you own a restaurant?

Review of “Five Days Dead: The End of Everything is About to Begin”

by Spanish Fork Author James L. Davis

Organ and Stool

M

T

his new sci-fi/fantasy book by Spanish Fork author James L. Davis has the perfect title for October reading. It’s as creepy as it sounds. What is more terrifying than flesh-eating zombies?

Davis started writing material for a series of books when he was a 12 yearold with a vivid imagination. “Five Days Dead” is the first book he has published after more than 30 years of “being harassed by the people who live in his head and scream at his brain.”

Although it took a few decades, he remembers when the characters were first put down on paper.

“I was pestering my mom for something to do and because I’m fairly good at being a pest, she told me to go write a book,” Davis responded when asked why he wrote the book. “I thought it sounded like a fine idea. It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. I’ve written on and off ever since and have been starting and stopping with this series of books since then.”

The premise of the book started as a simple short story, but evolved into a 350 page novel filled with mythical maniacal creatures and a severely flawed hero who battles demons within himself and all around him.

“The book ‘Five Days Dead’ is a prelude to a series of novels, but the seed of this novel really started as a short story,” Davis explained.” I just had this character in my head, Harley Nearwater. He is not a very nice man and he does some pretty outlandish things. I had him facing an impossible situation in the short story where he had to make a difficult choice.

This character, Harley Nearwater, was meant to only be a minor character in the

Published by Grayland Books

series, but he simply will not let me be.”

Davis said that some of his ideas about how our world could look in the future, came from travelling through Utah’s Carbon and Emery Counties. He wondered what would happen if energy was free for everyone.

“In the world of ‘Five Days Dead’, not only is energy a basic human right, but so is medical, housing transportation and even income” Davis said. “It should be paradise but it isn’t. Humanity is rotting and the earth itself has turned against us.”

It’s a book that comes with an “adult readers only” warning label due an abundance of graphic violence. The main character gets drunk, smokes cigarettes and has a long way to go before his cowboy boots are on the right path – so it’s a guy book.

Serve Daily is giving away a free copy of ‘Five Days Dead’ in October. Visit their Facebook page for details.

There was always a congregation of singers among the pioneer groups, and some of the hymns sang today were composed in the early days of the L.D.S. Church. You would find pianos and organs in most of the homes of the pioneers.

This beautiful organ was made of walnut wood. It has maroon material set in back of the wood cutout. It was made by the Chicago Cottage Organ Company.

The stool is black metal with a red velvet seat.

This organ and stool were donated to the D.U.P. on May 6, 1946 by the John and Amelia ersson Family.

Joh Persson was born in Sweden in 1850. He came to Payson in 1877. John was a Taylor by trade.

Amelia Jane Keele Persson was born in 1862 in Payson. Her mother was Lottie May Wilson. Her grandfather was Alexander Keele, a well known man from Payson.

Janeene Whitelock

John and Amelia Persson family owned this organ before it was donated to D.U.P.

John and Amelia were married in 1881 in Salt Lake City. They lived their entire lives in Payson.

Nine children were born to them, but only six lived to adulthood.

Amelia was a member of the D.U.P..

She joined the D.U.P. in 1927. Her number was 2,936. She belonged to Camp One. Amelia died at age 76, in December 1938. Her husband John, died in June 1940, he was 91 years old.

Jed & Kirby, now in Color!

By Tristan Davis I have been drawing “Jed & Kirby” comics ever since July of 2010, and will have been in Serve Daily for two years in December. I have come a long ways since 2010 and I am happy and grateful that I get to share this comic strip with many people around Utah Valley. My dad is a great, creative artist and has inspired me to become one also. He is in the hospital fighting leukemia, and I pray that he will be cured so we can continue to share our love of our talents.

Other things I do in my free time are playing Minecraft, reading, and writing.

I have plans to be a published author, and have been working on writing and storytelling.

You can read my comic “Jed & Kirby” (now in color!) in each Serve Daily issue.

Crank-n-CarbSport Acknowledges Generosity

Scary sightings inside The Family Tree.

Hauntings at Leslie’s Family Tree in Santaquin

By Cory Broadhead The building housing Leslie’s Family Tree has a deep history. Many businesses have used these buildings. The west side basement of Leslie’s Family Tree was once a restaurant, a mechanic shop, a place for townsmen to play cards and gamble, and held boxing matches. The basement has some unexplained items.

This includes a doorway that opens into a cement wall; this was once an entrance, and a stairway that leads to nowhere.

This stairway was an entrance many years ago, but now ends at the ceiling.

Years ago, this basement was one of only a few registered bomb shelters in Utah.

The upper floor of the west room was a billiards parlor for about 75 years. This room has the most paranormal activity.

The kitchen area was a post office, which later added a Greyhound bus stop to it. In 1970, Leslie’s mother purchased the building and made it into a floral shop. Leslie’s father built the main dining area in 1970, which was originally a sporting goods store. When Leslie’s father passed away, her mother converted the building into a restaurant and opened The Family Tree Restaurant. In 2006, Leslie bought the restaurant from her mother and has owned and managed it since.

The story behind much of the paranormal activity begins in the early 1900’s.

A man, wife and a young son lived in a small house, which was located in the area of the back room of the main dining area. One day the husband mysteriously left and never returned. Later, the young son drowned in the ditch near the house.

The wife felt at fault, not being able to

live with the guilt, she committed suicide. Many believe the woman and son are still here in the building. People have seen the wife many times inside and outside the building. In fact, people have seen her so often she is referred to as “The Lady in Blue.” She has earned this name because she is seen wearing a blue dress. People have seen the young boy hiding under tables.

Many people believe that other people who have passed on have come to stay. Speculation is that this building was a place of enjoyment, or that their addictions to gambling and alcohol made them feel comfortable in this building.

Many other mysterious activities have happened in this building. Things such as: bells ringing with no stimulus, equipment flying off shelves, a clock running backward for two hours with no batteries in it, pounding noises, doors opening and shutting, sounds of children playing and laughing with no children present, chairs stacking into pyramids with no one in the room, clown laughter, and temperatures turning ice cold for no reason. One of the strangest things that occurred happened to a customer. The patron had locked his truck and came into the building. After entering the building with his keys in hand, the truck started up and drove through the back of the building.

When you visit us again and if something strange happens, let us know and we can add it to our list.

A newly created cycle club out of the Southern part of Utah County, knows first hand how to serve and give it back to its members. The club is sponsored by an energy drink-mix called CarbSport.

The club itself is called Crank-n-CarbSport and recently finished a bike race from Salt Lake to Saint George. After a successful performance, good enough to finish in 7th place, a small tragedy occurred to one of the club members.

Traveling back from St. George a gust of wind caught a hold of a bike and it flew out of the back of the truck at highway speeds and flipped around on the freeway. The damage was significant, the bike was damaged enough where the frame and most of the components would need to be replaced. The owner of this crashed up bike is Bret Ford.

Bret works for The Utah County Public Works in the road division and even has a second job working construction for a local asphalt company. He has a rough outer-shell but on the inside has been willing to help anyone that is in need. Inmates come and do various jobs for the County as part of a jail work program. Bret will take them out to lunch and even give them a few dollars and always tries to lift up their spirits and make them laugh. The co-worker that Bret is teamed up with will give him a hard time for giving money to people he does not know. Specially the people on the corner holding the cardboard signs begging for money. Bret will often give $5 to those who need a helping hand. His coworkers tell him all the time to stop giving to the “street beggars” because some of them are just scammers. Bret will comment that if they are standing on the corner asking for money there is a good chance they need some help, and he likes the way he feels seeing a smile on people’s faces when he gives them a few bucks. Bret’s wife works for a rehab center that helps youth and teens with addictions. She works with horses as a form of therapy and Bret will often go and help with the labor of taking care of the animals. Bret enjoys seeing how giving to people, who may be in a tough spot, can bring a little bit of a happiness to them and they can see there are still good people in the world.

As the Crank-n-CarbSport bike club got to know Bret little more and saw his generous attitude, they knew if this bike accident would of have happened to

anyone of else, he would be leading the cause to help raise money to cover the cost for repairs.

The bike club secretly started to think of ways where they could help him. They reached out to Noble Sports who was doing the repairs on the bike and setup an account in his name. They shared his story on the club’s Facebook page. In less than a week they were able to raise the money to cover the full cost of the repairs, which was over $1,300. Bret picked up his new bike on Friday October 3rd from Noble Sports expecting to pay the full amount. However, when the cashier itemized the list of the repairs it sounded like it was going to cost more than the original estimate. Then the words “...and the total cost is NOTHING” Bret could not believe it, he soon found out that 15-20 anonymous donors paid for the repairs; Noble Sports even got into the spirit of giving and knocked off a few hundred dollars. When Bret realized all the people who were willing to help him out, he become emotional and started to cry. The Crank-n-CarbSport bike club was able to take this small tragedy and turn it into a very positive experience for everyone involved. They created a day that this “rough-looking (Harley Davidson biker turned cyclist) crazy tall guy with the beard” will never forget. Bret says his heart is full and wants to thank all the anonymous donors for their generous donations; Crank-nCarbSport, and Noble Sports for all their efforts in making a day he will always remember. Remember there are a lot of good people in this world.

Springville High is Awarded the Athletic Director’s Cup

By Lana Hiskey The Utah Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (UIAAA) announced that Springville High School (SHS) was awarded the Director’s Cup for 4A schools in the state of Utah for the 2013-2014 school year. The Director’s Cup is based on three components: how the school finishes in state competitions; the combined GPA for each program that competes at state competitions; and the Utah High School Activities Association’s (UHSAA) sportsmanship initiative.

“Congratulations to Springville High School! Springville High School represents all of the positive outcomes that result from participation in interscholastic athletics. The Director’s Cup was awarded to Springville High School by the UIAAA for achieving the highest cumulative point total in 4A based on state tournament results in all sports (boys and girls) and the successful implementation of “Raise The Bar” sportsmanship initiative. This is an award that rewards excellence in the classroom, on the playing field, and in the way SHS treats others,” said Rob Cuff, Director UHSAA. Principal Mike Brown credits the UH-

SAA sportsmanship initiative “Raise the Bar” program, which focuses on building character through teaching, enforcing, awarding, and modeling appropriate and ethical behavior. Mr. Brown commented, “This award is a great honor. It is a whole school/community award. It should be celebrated by every student, teacher, coach, parent, and community member. It shows what we have known all along, Springville High School is a great place where we engage, empower, and collaborate with our students for success. Springville High School is truly a community centered school.”

Principal Brown wants to recognize the contributions of SHS athletic director, Cathi Jarvis, and assistant principal, Scott Johnson, and of course all of the faculty and coaches for putting so much time and effort in the athletic teams as well as an emphasis on sportsmanship and academics with the student body and athletic teams.

The Director’s Cup will be presented to the school, district, and community representatives at an upcoming football game. The Director’s Cup will be on display both at SHS and the UHSAA offices in Salt Lake City.

Congratulations Springville High for a job well done!

Spanish Fork High School hosts Region 8 Marching Band Field Show Review

By Rebecca McConnell

It was a beautiful fall morning for the 2014 Region 8 Field Show Review hosted by Spanish Fork High School’s Marching Band. Sunshine welcomed the bands as they arrived for their performances. “We are so excited to be hosting this year!” said Clint Roberts, SFHS’s band director, “Our band has been working very hard and we are happy to kick off the field marching season!”

The SFHS Band Boosters worked very hard to make sure everything ran smoothly, from parking, setting up practice areas, hosting the judges and taking care of the bands. Dana Robinson did an amazing job as announcer this year and had a lot of fun being part of the high school’s hosting team. The review is not a competition, but rather a chance for the bands to perform their show and get

feedback from the judges where they can improve before the actual competitions start. Local Marching bands attending the review this year were Maple Mountain High School, Salem Hills High School, Springville High School, Timpanogos High School and Spanish Fork High School.

The Hosting school performed their Tower of Power Show with Drum Majors Bobby McConnell and Tanner Stone and Colorguard Captain Jada Kent.

The Spanish Fork High School Marching Band is under the direction of Clint Roberts - Band Director, Sarah Nasson – Colorguard Director, and Brad Sampson – Percussion Director. SFHS Band has been practicing for these performances since the beginning of the summer with band camp and sectionals and daily practices and is looking forward to a great year and some awesome performances around the state.

We know there are a lot of former active pilots in our community. People who have enjoyed flying 5, 10, 15 years ago or more and for a variety of reasons have not been back to enjoy the world from above. We believe many of these lapsed pilots still have an interest in flying but have concerns about their own rusty skills, changes in airspace definitions, communications, navigation tools and even the airplanes that we fly. All of this can be intimidating if you haven’t flown for a few years. We want to try and address these issue with a FREE “Rusty Pilot Refresher Seminar.”

Thoughts on Zion

By Jesse Fisher

God is Waiting For Us to Build Zion

T

here are three common objections to the idea that we can build Zion.

The following are quotes from a talk given by President Brigham Young on February 23, 1862 which I believe refute these objections: 1. Jesus must build Zion, we can’t.

“We are not going to wait for angels, or for Enoch and his company to come and build up Zion, but we are going to build it.”

“But while contemplating the future greatness of Zion, do we realize that we are the pioneers of that future greatness and glory? Do we realize that if we enjoy a Zion in time or in eternity, we must make it for ourselves? That all who have a Zion in the eternities of the gods organized, framed, consolidated, and perfected it themselves, and consequently are entitled to enjoy it.

“The Lord has done his share of the work; he has surrounded us with… everything with which to build up, beautify and glorify the Zion of the last days, and it is our business to mold these elements to our wants and necessities, according to the knowledge we now have and the wisdom we can obtain from the Heavens through our faithfulness. In this way will

the Lord bring again Zion upon the earth, and in no other.”

2. We’re waiting for God. “There is not one thing wanting in all the works of God’s hands to make a Zion upon the earth when the people conclude to make it. We can make a Zion of God on earth at our pleasure, upon the same principle that we can raise a field of wheat, or build [a home] and inhabit [it].

“It is for us, as children of our heavenly Father, to arise and assume the right the law of the Holy Priesthood gives us, and organize the elements for a Zion, and bring it forth, no matter where we are.”

3. And the unspoken objection, “But Babylon is so much fun!” “…I am anxious that we should commence the growth of Zion in ourselves, and when we do this, we shall cease to willingly hold fellowship with that which is evil. But so long as we willingly hold fellowship with that which tends to death and destruction [ie. Babylon’s vices], we cannot progress as we should in the work of perfection in ourselves, nor in building up and beautifying Zion.

O

Kathy Anderson

Colin Logue with his wife Shessann, daughter Jackie and son Ashton standing next to their 1958 Corvette.

n the news a while back, the reporter talked about a local radio station and the local food bank coming together for a food drive. They were asking for people to donate food to feed local families that didn’t have enough to eat, as shelves were bare.

The part of the story that made me choke up a bit was when they talked about two homeless men that were walking by and saw the signs advertising the food drive. They both stopped and one of the men started fishing around in his bag and pulled out a can of tuna and then placed it as the first item in what later became about of mile worth of food all lined up on the street heading for the capital.

This man, who I’m sure knows something about hunger, was concerned about

others not going hungry and so he generously shared the little bit that he had – possibly all that he had.

So many things can happen that can shake your world and put you in a situation where you may fall on hard times or lose your income earning ability. So, put away for a rainy day. Get out of debt, put some money aside, and for goodness sake, work on building your food storage.

I can’t imagine not having enough food storage to see me and my family through a disaster, or at least lift the burden a bit – and maybe even be able to share with a stranger.

You eat the food storage one bite at a time, but you can build it one can or case at a time. All it takes is determination and focus. So focus and maybe you can be generous someday.

A MAN OF HIS WORD Payson Agent Puts the Needs of Others First When Colin Logue first started helping locals with their health insurance needs, the industry was much simpler.

Recent changes in the last few years have left seniors and families feeling like they are in the dark and over spending for healthcare.

Enter Colin Logue. This local business owner, car enthusiast and humanitarian has committed himself to helping his friends and neighbors understand their options. He is contracted with every health insurance network in Utah County to ensure that his clients get all of the options at the best prices.

“When it comes to understating health insurance, open enrollment is crucial,” says Colin. “During open enrollment, seniors can change Medicare Advantage and prescription drug plans without being denied for pre-existing conditions.

Individuals and families needing to sign up for or make changes to health insurance plans can take care of this during Obamacare open enrollment.” Open enrollment for Medicare plans is Oct. 15th thru Dec. 7th. Obamacare open enrollment is Nov. 15th thru Feb. 15th. “Be sure to go over your options during open enrollment, this is generally the only time you can shop around for a better plan,” Colin advises.

Colin makes it easy for residents to benefit from his expertise in the healthcare insurance field. Starting October 1st thru the end of open enrollment, he will have a kiosk in the Payson Smith’s Food & Drug. Individuals can visit him there to get no-pressure answers to any health insurance questions.

Colin has been a prominent figure in the business community. He is the Payson Chamber of Commerce President and he helps keep focus on small business growth. “I take a lot of pleasure from seeing fellow business owners succeed in Payson. The economy is tough, if I can play a small role in helping another business survive, it’s a great feeling,” says Colin.

Besides helping with insurance needs and supporting the small business community, Colin finds more ways to serve.

Each year he donates profits from the Onion Day’s car show he and his wife sponsor to the Kiwanis Club, where he is an active member. These funds provide scholarships to local students. Additionally, Colin serves on the planning and zoning board in Elk Ridge, where he lives.

If you need help with your insurance options this year, you can contact Colin at 801-609-8699.

Announcing Utah County Radio 93.7 Sky FM Utah County Radio has returned thanks to a former radio DJ and BYU graduate Doug Barton, owner of Mid Utah Radio. After being without a local radio station for over 30 years – 93.7 Sky FM is proud to be the only full-power FM radio station that broadcasts primarily to Utah County Residents.

93.7 SKY FM serves all of Utah County including the communities of; Springville, Spanish Fork, Woodland Hills, Salem, Payson, Santaquin, surrounding areas and also reaches portions of the neighboring communities of Carbon, Juab, Sanpete, and Wasatch counties.

Over 40 years ago, Utah County had six locally owned & operated radio stations serving the county & surrounding area.... KOVO-AM, K-96 - FM, KEYYAM, KIXX-AM & KONI-AM & FM. These local radio stations covered local news, sporting events and community happenings and nearly all of the advertising on these radio stations featured local businesses. Barton and his son-in-law Beau Lund hope to bring that tradition back to Utah County with their family-owned radio group.

“As a young college student attending BYU majoring in Broadcast Communications, I worked part-time for KONIAM/FM, KIXX-AM and KOVO-AM. All of these stations were very successful marketing to the Utah County area,” said Doug Barton, owner of Mid Utah Radio.

“Since leaving BYU some 40 years ago, I returned to my hometown of Manti, Utah and built a local radio station to serve the needs of rural Utah,” Barton continued. “Over the past 38 years we have added seven radio stations to our radio group serving 13 counties in South/Central Utah.”

“We added KUTC-FM 93.7 “The Sky” to our radio group with the intention of serving Utah County and giving the county a local radio station again.

KUTC-FM, “The Sky” was built and is programmed to serve Utah County,” Barton said.

Barton located the transmitter on the Nebo Loop above Payson at an elevation of 10,000 feet, which provides Utah County with the most powerful FM sig-

nal currently available.

The community events and other information are created exclusively for Utah County, according to Beau Lund, Operations Manager for Mid Utah Radio. The music and imaging is programmed for the demographics of Utah County. Showcasing local events is also a priority for Utah County’s newest radio station, according to Lund.

Barton and Lund recently enlisted the services of veteran broadcaster, Ted Hallisey, to help host events and represent the 93.7 SKY FM station in Utah County. Hallisey has worked for radio stations in Salt Lake City and Logan, primarily as a rodeo expert for country stations as “Cowboy Ted”. He also hosted Sports Talk radio shows in Fresno, California and hosted a daily recreation report for several years in central and southern Utah. Hallisey also created a healthy choices program for kids and on-line recreation guides to feature outdoor recreation in several counties in Utah.

“I am really excited about working with 93.7 SKY FM and Mid Utah Radio’s other formats to showcase Utah County,” Hallisey said. “I have worked in radio in California and Salt Lake, as well as, some smaller towns in Utah and I know Utah County has a unique identity and lifestyle that is unlike any other community. I am really looking forward to hosting several local events, as I meet the people and develop friendships in each of the communities in Utah County.”

93.7 SKY FM recently took part in a big event in Utah County that included the presence of officials from The Guinness Book of World Records for the Passport to Provo Scavenger Hunt, which did in fact, set a new world record with 2,079 participating in the event.

The station has plans to host many more community events and looks to secure themselves in the hearts and minds of Utah County residents as Utah County’s radio station.

“We are committed to serving Utah County as a Utah County Radio Station,” Barton concluded.

Contact Ted Hallisey at (801) 7073070, Beau Lund (801) 440-4434, or Doug Barton (435) 340-1075.

By Abby Green On September 26, Aaliyah Rose from Radio Disney came to Sierra Bonita Elementary. She performed at an assembly with the theme “Follow Your Heart.”

During the assembly she sang “Let It Go” from the movie Frozen, an original song titled “Not Looking For Love” and

many other songs.

She also had a drawing for t-shirts and CD’s in between the songs. Students earned tickets into the drawing for good behavior. After the assembly she visited some classrooms and talked with students.

She was a great singer and will become a great artist one day.

S.F. Programmer wins $20K at Utah Game Wars Competition

By Kevin Dunn

Adam Dunn’s Jaxi the Robot game Inspired by his 4-year-old daughter, Adam Dunn of Spanish Fork started developing Jaxi the Robot as a way to teach kids to code. Part of his personal philosophy is to “Give Back”, and Adam, active in the local community and a member of the Spanish Fork-Salem Chamber of Commerce sees helping youngsters is his way to give service.

Now the programming game has earned the Spanish Fork resident a spot in Salt Lake City’s Comic Con convention and $20,000 as the winner of the Utah Game Wars competition, organized

by Zions Bank and Grow Utah.

Dunn, who is self-taught and says learning to program gave him direction as teenager, designed Jaxi with girls in mind, as he noticed over 80% of his co-workers and IT associates were male.

At www.jaxitherobot.com, the pink robot is ejected into the robot junkyard at BlueBot International, and players must guide her through challenges and obstacles using Javascript.

“Jaxi’s story is a metaphor for the state of our world,” says Dunn on the game’s Kickstarter webpage. “Why is the ratio of boys to girls in engineering so disproportionate? Why are there so many boy robots to every girl one? This game answers that question and shows that there should be no difference between boys and girls in coding.”

Currently, Adam Dunn’s development of Jaxi the Robot is being promoted through a kickstarter campaign at Jaxi: the Robot by Adam Dunn — Kickstarter.

“This year’s selection process was very intense,” said T. Craig Bott, President and CEO of Grow Utah. “We normally select eight finalists, but there were so many outstanding entries this year that we could only agree on 10.

That speaks to the level of maturity of Utah’s startup digital media and gaming companies. These are bright developers not only with outstanding coding skills but good business sense.”
