A stunt team rider performs at the Utah County Fair. By Karen Willoughby SPANISH FORK – Everyone probably has their own idea about what makes the Utah County Fair so exciting.

Rodeo action seems to be a big draw, but what about those monster trucks? Little kids – and folks not so little – enjoy seeing the animals. The City of Fun Carnival -- of course! -- with its lights and sounds and games and fun stuﬀ to

eat, the carnival is not to be missed. “Just seeing everyone out, enjoying themselves, that’s what I like,” Orem resident Ed Coolidge told Serve Daily. “I like looking at the canning that’s been done each year,” his wife Edie added. “That’s what I like to do.” The Utah County Fair starts at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 16, through 10 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 19, at the fairgrounds, 475 S. Main in Spanish Fork. All activities close at 10 p.m. each night. Gary Allen, Lauren Alaina and Raelynn are to perform in concert at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, on the main stage, with fireworks to follow, kicking off the annual County Fair. Several other performers will follow on subsequent days and in various venues. Exhibits this year are to include creative arts, food and canning, quilts, clothing and handwork, fine arts, floriculture, horticulture, photography, special needs, and small animals.

Cherry season winds down in Utah County By Karen Willoughby PAYSON – Apples, nectarines, pears, peaches and pluots are coming on, but cherry season has run its course for the 40 or fewer orchardists in southern Utah County. McMullin Orchards was started in 1927, when Robert Wallace McMullin planted sweet cherry trees. The property has grown to about 900 acres in production, on three sites. Grandson Robert McMullin is “boss-man,” Plant Manager Carl Butler told Serve Daily. McMullin Orchards is neither the oldSee CHERRY on page 6

By Karen Willoughby SPANISH FORK – Levi Sampson died a week before his third birthday, but he will live through the example of his family and the donations that keep pouring in on his behalf. Levi dashed out of his house and chased after his mom on July 19. She had told him to stay inside – it was pouring down rain – while she went to get the baby, being cared for by a friend, but as sometimes happens with preschoolers, he didn’t listen. The young roadster jumped on his low-rider bike and energetically raced down the street to catch up, just as a neighbor backed out of her driveway. Both boy and driver went to the hospital. She was distraught, according to a televised news report. Levi didn’t recover. “Levi lived a lifetime in his short 3 years,” according to his obituary. “There wasn’t a stone left unturned, a ball not thrown or a stick unused. He came into this life running and continued running all the way to heaven. “His bright twinkly blue eyes and broad smile endeared him to all who See LEVI on page 7

National Parks Senior Pass price increase By Ed Helmick If you are 62 or older and enjoy visiting our National Parks and Forest fee area you are entitled to purchase a life time annual pass at a bargain price that allows free access. If you don’t already have a pass you should buy it before August 28, 2019, after that date the price of the senior pass will increase from $10 to $80. For seniors on a fixed income, it is a significant increase. If you already have a senior pass, it is a lifetime pass and is grandfathered in. The life time senior pass is now called the America the Beautiful-National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Senior

Pass. My older pass, which is still valid, was called a Golden Age Passport. The pre-purchased pass provides access to more than 2,000 sites managed by six federal agencies. The August 28 price increase is the first since 1994.

The Angelus Theatre 105 year Anniversary and Grand Reopening By Janice Helmick In 1912 a young man by the name of Joseph Hanson built a theatre in Spanish Fork, Utah. Curt Gordon bought the theatre in February 2017 and hopes to restore it to its original grandeur and recreate the community treasure it once was. Gordon estimates he will need $25,000 to make the improvements, and he has created a GoFundMe page, to help with the fundraising. The grand reopening is scheduled for September 9, 2017. This is the story of that theatre, but it is also a history of Joseph Hanson and other people involved with this theatre. Joseph Hanson was born on January 30, 1874, in Spanish Fork, Utah. He married Elizabeth Williams on February 18, 1901, in Salt Lake City, Utah. They were the parents of four children by 1912: Anna Fay Hanson born September 20, 1901, Melba Elizabeth Hanson born October 28, 1903, Sarah Belle Hanson born April 27, 1905, and Roland Joseph Hanson born December 1, 1906. Perhaps the desire for someplace his children could go to see movies that was close to home was one of the motivations for the building of this theatre. To advertise the opening of this theatre, there was a story written up in the local paper under the title “Angelus Theatre, Spanish Fork, Utah.” The article reads as follows: The Angelus motion picture theater, Spanish Fork, Utah, a photograph of which we publish herewith, was opened on Monday evening, September 9th, 1912, and has since played to crowded houses. It was completed at a cost of

$14,000, and is one of the most pretentious buildings in the city, which has a population of only 4,500. It is modern in every respect, being steam heated and electric lighted. The foyer is eight and a half feet wide and is the full length of the building. The furnishings and decorations are artistic. The main auditorium has an inclined floor with 400 opera chairs. A number of boxes are at the disposal of theatre parties. The balcony is fitted with wicker rocking chairs. The operating room is ten feet by twelve feet, metal lined, complete with two Power’s No. 6 projection machines with motor attachments and motor rewind. To the left of the operating room is a repair shop and a workroom. Four

ventilators are placed in the ceiling with a sixteen-inch fan in each. The stage is twenty feet wide by six feet deep and can be used for light vaudeville, although Mr. A. L. Stallings, who is the manager and proprietor, prefers to run pictures. Maxine Gordon and her friends would walk five miles from Lake Shore to the Angelus Theatre in downtown Spanish Fork. She remembers that on a Saturday night kids would be strung along the road walking to the Angelus to see a movie. The theatre was the center of all the entertainment in those days. The theatre was Spanish Fork’s only movie theatre when it was destroyed by fire in 1948. The theater’s operators, the Huish-Gilhool circuit, rebuilt the Ange-

cheery exclamation reflects that of many of the students and faculty at ALA. Director Rich Morley added, “Our enrollment is growing and many of our programs will now have the ability to grow as well.” The two level facility will also serve as the new lunch room and adds needed storage rooms as well. Assistant Principal Paul Ashby thinks the new addition promotes a sense of positive progress. “The students will now have more opportunities to practice, to prepare and in general it will really be a

gathering place.” The ribbon cutting will be held August 14th at 11:30 AM

An article in Boxoffice Magazine said the formal opening of the Arch Theatre had been scheduled for July 8. The Quonset Hut shape was retained, the front of the building was expanded to one side, and the whole edifice was given a modern design, built of redwood and of native rock quarried in Park City. When the Angelus Theatre reopened in 1950, Spanish Fork had two theatres. The Arch Theatre discontinued operation See ANGELUS on page 4

on February 3, 1973, was turned into a sewing facility and has since been torn down. The Angelus Theatre was renamed the Main Street Movies about 1984 and continued as a movie theater until 1999. It later operated under the name of Royal Palace Theatre playing live music performances. Most recently it has operated under the name of Boothe Brothers Performing Art Center as a live music venue. It hosts free community events and music education programs. Maxine Gordon’s grandson, Curt Gordon, remembers visiting the theater as a child. But his involvement with the theatre didn’t end there. The theatre

was purchased by the owners of Boothe Brothers Music in 1996. The owners of Boothe Brothers Music are longtime family friends of Gordon. Curt joined the retail music store staﬀ and started using the theater which had been converted into a live music venue for events. He was playing with his own band, but as time passed, he realized that running shows for other bands was more rewarding than playing with his own band. While Boothe Brothers made some improvements at the theatre, there is still a lot of work to be done. Gordon decided to buy and renovate the theater to restore it to its original grandeur.

Duck race is a success Individualism is not a Zion principle By Jesse Fisher Admitting to ourselves that we live in a Babylon-style society allows us to see that our day-to-day environment is saturated with Babylon’s pride-based values, and more importantly, that they are rubbing off on us, and, leading society in the opposite direction of Zion. One such pride-based value early LDS leaders tried to teach the Saints to avoid was Babylon’s mantra, “Every man for himself!” Brigham was the first to point this value out, along with it’s damning consequences for us, in 1874 when he said: “Are we going to be prepared for the coming of the Son of Man? Not so long as we live according to the principles of Babylon. Now we are every man for himself. One says: ‘This is my property, and I am for increasing it.’ Another says; ‘This is mine,’ Another: ‘I will do as I please; I will go where I please and when I please; I will do this, that, or the other; and if I have a mind to raise grain here and take it to market and give it away, it is none of your business.’ It will be said to all such persons, who profess to be Latter-day Saints—’I never knew you; you never were Saints.’ Ouch. That same year, Apostle Orson Pratt explained that individualism is a Gentile value and won’t be part of Zion. He said, “But will they return [to Jackson County] after the old order of things that exists among the Gentiles—every man

for himself, this individualism in regard to property? No, never, never while the world stands.” Even Apostle Joseph F. Smith, in the April 1883 General Conference, echoed Brigham’s warning about individualism’s consequences for the Saints: “Now, so long as the Latter-day Saints are content to ... use their time, their talents, their substance, in honor to the name of God, to build up Zion ... so long our heavenly Father is bound by His oath and covenant to protect them from every opposing foe ... but the moment a community begin[s] to be wrapt up in themselves, become selfish, become engrossed in the temporalities of life, and put their faith in riches, that moment the power of God begins to withdraw from them, and if they repent not the Holy Spirit will depart from them entirely, and they will be left to themselves. Apostle Erastus Snow, in 1877, described the problem of individualism in terms of Babylon’s ever-present conflict of Capital vs Labor: “This is the way of the world, and the warfare that is going on all the time; and why? Because they comprehend not how to promote their mutual interests; covetousness of capital on one hand, and covetousness of labor on the other, each trying to enrich itself at the expense of the other.” If we Latter-day Saints are to assist the Lord in building Zion, we must overcome Babylon’s covetousness of individualism and practice working together cooperatively to promote our “mutual interests.” Discuss at BuildingZion.org.

Ducks are readied for release at Spanish Fork’s annual Adopt-ADuck race. By Ed Helmick Since 2005 the Spanish Fork Fire Fighters Association has used the “Adopt-ADuck” race as a successful fundraiser for the local community. After expenses are paid they usually have about $4,000 left over for several projects. They donate funds to city hall to anonymously help financially challenged families with winter utility bills. They also sponsor young men and women going to the American Legion Auxiliary Boys and Girls State leadership and citizenship programs. The 2017 Adopt-A-Duck Race is now history, with all 2,000 plastic ducks from the Spanish Fork Fire Fighters Association adopted. The race has two categories, age 13 and older and age 12 and under. The ducks for 13 and above are

slightly larger than those for the 12 and below kids. Also, the ducks for the older kids and adults have black firefighter hats. The ducks were put in the Spanish Fork River at the Main Street Bridge for the older entrants and at the foot bridge near the Sports Park for the younger people. While drifting down the river some of the plastic ducks get caught in the brush along the edge and the firefighters are there for the rescue. For this they call themselves “duck herders.” The race ended as the ducks crossed into the catch basin near the West Park River Bridge. Several thousand dollars in prize money was won by some lucky people who will probably adopt a duck from the Spanish Fork Fire Fighters Association during next year’s Fiesta Day event.

SF’s “Goose” Beardall inducted into Utah Softball Hall of Fame By Pete Hansen Spanish Fork is well known for it’s history in baseball and softball. And recently, one of our very own was recognized for his contribution to the game of softball. George “Goose” Beardall was inducted into the Utah Softball Hall of Fame at a ceremony held at the Larry H Miller Softball Complex on July 7, 2017. The event, presented by the Salt Lake County Parks & Recreation, recognized seven men for their contributions as players, coaches, umpires and sponsors. George (or Goose) was recognized for his play in men’s fast pitch softball from 1969 thru 1987 and slow pitch for a number of years. He played on teams from all over Utah County and was known as a top hitter and a great arm. Goose’s love for the game was evident as he was playing nearly every night of the

One of his past teammates, Lane Henderson, remembers that when Goose would get a good hit, you could hear him say “touch ‘em all or get out of this phone booth!” Goose’s love the game started early in his life as he played in every level or division that he could. He was named to the All-state team as a senior at Spanish Fork High. Goose coached in Pony league baseball for 43 years. His dedication to the game included his devotion to help his players became better people in life. Congratulations to Goose for this significant recognition. For more information, visit www.

est nor the largest orchardist in southern Utah County, McMullin said. Allred Orchards in Provo is another; it started in 1926. Allred added a farm in Payson in 1957 where it planted peaches, apples, sweet and tart cherries. Serve Daily stopped in at McMullin Orchards’ warehouse recently to view its harvesting operation. Bing cherries were harvested about the last week of June each year, Butler said. Within one week, they were all gone – shipped to major suppliers or all gone from area fruit stands. The tart cherry season lasts three weeks, but it too was winding down the last week of July. When the cherries come in, they’re poured into thousand-pound buckets of cold water. The buckets’ contents then are poured into a cleaning machine. People on the other end sort through the cherries as they come out on a roller bed that shakes off excess moisture and spreads out the cherries on a single layer. Early in the season as many as four lines are running. This late, workers on the one remaining line eye-check the cherries before they’re sent to be individually frozen – a process that takes less than 15 minutes when the freezer is set to 55 degrees below zero – after which they’re weighed

in 40-lb. boxes and readied for shipment. McMullin Orchards harvested about 12 million pounds of cherries in 2015 and ’16, though projections are this year will be a bit less, Butler said. “Weather’s probably a big factor,” the plant manager said, adding that he is unfamiliar with the growing side of the business. “It changes every year. Whatever the Lord sends us, we accept.” Factors that help orchardists in southern Utah county: A climate that is generally moderate during the growing season – somewhat sheltered by the mountains on either side of the valley – good, if somewhat rocky soil and nearby access to easily-regulated irrigation water from Utah Lake, so trees are watered consistently but no more than needed. “The McMullin family and valued employees take great pride in cultural practices designed to assure the freshest, highest-quality and best-tasting fruit we can offer,” according to its website: mcmullinorchards.com. McMullin’s 300 employees – mostly seasonal – work until the October, flowing through each of their fruits as the harvest seasons roll on. Big M Frozen Storage in Payson, a subsidiary of McMullin Orchards, offers 21,000 square feet of frozen, cold and dry storage, where it can hold frozen fruits until suppliers are ready for it.

from page 1 knew him, even when he poked them with one of his famous sticks. Levi was fearless and thought the world was his playground. His zest for life and love for everyone he knew will be remembered fondly by those he left behind,” the obituary continued. “When you ﬁrst look at it, it looks like a tragedy,” Levi’s dad, Colt Sampson, told Serve Daily. “But it’s almost a miracle the way everything worked out the way it did. … It’s true that out of our biggest trial has come our greatest blessing. “We’re at about $28,400 as of an hour ago,” Sampson said at midday July 27. “It’s not about the money. It’s about the families who are going to get the money.” The money, donated by friends and well-wishers, is a memoriam celebrating the life of Levi, said to be “larger than

life” by his mom, CC. The money is to go to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, to be made available to families who need help. “We’ll give it to the hospital and they will make sure it goes where they need it most,” Colt Sampson said. His family wants the money to go to Primary Children’s Hospital because of the care they saw their first-born daughter receive 10 years ago when she was born with a rare intestinal malformation doctors at first said Skye probably wouldn’t recover from. The Sampson family have lived in their Spanish Fork home for about five years. He owns the State Farm Insurance business in Spanish and in nearby Salem. The couple met in junior high, dated in high school, and corresponded while he served the LDS church in Madagascar and she played college softball. “When I came home, we started dating seriously,” Sampson recalled. “We got engaged that summer and married four

Starting in the middle of March, McKade Kramer, son of John and Stacey Kramer, was sick and having pains all over his body. The family made several emergency room and doctor visits trying to figure out what was wrong. Finally, weeks later in June and shortly after his 5th birthday, McKade was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. For the next three years McKade will have to go through chemotherapy and other treatments to combat the cancer in his body. McKade is a fighter, and has been so strong through all the needle pokes, testing, side effects and sickness. Please join us Saturday, August 26th, at the Mighty McKade 5K Family Fun Run to show your support to the Kramer family. Since McKade is a fan of

superheroes and a beacon of strength to our community, the event is superhero themed. Bring your family and wear your superhero gear as we come together to encourage McKade to continue to be brave through this long and grueling process. To kick oﬀ the 5K, we will have a “Mighty Mad Dash,” for all of the little superheroes. The event will start at 9:00 am, but come pick up your packet and check out the silent auction from 8:008:45 am. The race starts and ends at the Spanish Fork Sports Park, with the route going along the River Trail. This will be a fun event for all ages, runners or walkers. Strollers are also welcome. All proceeds will go to the Kramer family. To register go to runnercard.com and search for Mighty McKade.

weeks later. We had to get married before Football Camp started.” Sampson was a freshman at the University of Utah that year. He was going to be a junior when Football Camp started the day, three years later, Skye was born. “My wife let me go [to camp] two hours after Skye was born. My work was done; my family was safe.” Until doctors found Skye’s malformation. For the next two weeks, the couple “lived” at the hospital, with the new dad – a tight end – scurrying oﬀ to UVU Football Camp every day. Since then, until July 19, life had gone smoothly for the family, which grew to also include CJ, 7; Chance, 5; Levi would have been 3 on July 28; and Faith, 1 this March. Spanish Fork police said Levi’s death was “a tragic accident.” No charges are expected to be ﬁled. A witness driving by even saw the driver look out her windows before backing out, despite the vision-obscuring rain. “Without the knowledge we have of

the gospel, it would be very diﬃcult to move on and have a successful life,” Sampson said. “Your ﬁrst instinct is that you don’t want to move forward. But when you think of God’s plan, the knowledge of God’s plan gets us through the day. “We teach our kids to live life to the fullest,” Sampson continued. “We decided to live for Levi. He lived life fearlessly, without fear. We want our kids to use his example as they live.” Sampson said he wanted to add one additional thought in the Serve Daily newspaper. “Encourage people to care for their neighbors,” he said. “A lot of times we can’t see the tragic accidents in people’s lives. … You never know who’s in need or who needs help.” “We’re working on getting a foundation set up, until then they can donate directly to the hospital,” Colt Sampson said. To help, search for donations on Primary Children’s Hospital’s website.

Karden Devenish and his family had a plan to go to Oregon to view the total eclipse of the sun on August 21. Karden though it would be great to try his hand at deep sea fishing while they were in Oregon, so he made a plan of his own. He has been mowing lawns and doing work for his neighbors to earn the money to do just that. However, something Karden did not plan on happened not too long ago. He went to Nickle Mania with a friend to play some arcade games and he doesn’t know if he took the wallet out of his pocket and laid it down somewhere, or if someone took it out of his pocked without him knowing, but the wallet disappeared. The wallet contained the entire $80 he had saved so far. He notified Nickle Mania that his wallet was gone, and went home. When he got home, his mother posted about the wallet on the Spanish Fork Community Facebook page, and explained why it was so important to have it returned. Sometime later Karden got a call from Nickle Mania telling him someone had dropped something off for him. Thinking it might be the wallet, Karden went to Nickle Mania with his friend. He was handed a blank envelope. He could feel there was money in the envelope, but Karden did not open it at that time. When he got in the car with his father, he opened the envelope and counted the money. There was $120 in twenty-dollar bills. He mentioned to his Dad that there was more money than the $80 in the envelope. His father counted the money also and concurred with Karden. There

Karden Devenish was a note with the money which read: Friend, Buy a new wallet, ﬁshing license, and have fun. I read what happened on Facebook, and had the same thing happen when I was younger. Good Luck. PS If your wallet was returned, pay it forward with this. In a follow-up call with Nickle Mania, Karden asked if the person who left the envelope was a man or a woman. He was told that Nickle Mania could not give him that information. Karden says he has learned some valuable lessons from this experience. First, don’t carry all your money in your wallet, take only what you need. Second, he has had his faith in humanity restored. Third, he will pay it forward as soon as he can. Karden posted a thank you on Facebook: “Thank you, thank you, whomever you are.”

Brother and Sister to give a lecture on the Camino de Santiago each other and said--”Let’s do it again!” Tara retraced virtually the same route solo in 2014, taking a leisurely two months. While walking she received word her brother had had a stroke; he was later found to have cancer. On her return home, Tara went to see him. Tim O’Collins, who retired in 2015 from Sysco Foods of San Francisco, was on vacation at Shasta Lake in 2014 when he suffered a subdural hematoma, leaving him unable to walk or talk. Later rotator cuff surgery disclosed cancer, and he began chemotherapy. Tara visited him and told of her trek and invited him on a future Camino. Two viewings of the movie “The Way” intrigued him, but he felt his health issues would make such an undertaking impossible. In 2015 Tara and Tim did the walk together from the same starting point as Tara did before, the 500-mile French Way (St. Jean). Tim’s knees went out on Day Two. Along the way doctors advised him to give up and go home, but he said, “I came to Spain to walk, not quit.” Tim finished on crutches, and they completed not one but three Caminos, a total of roughly 700 miles. “A special part of the Camino is the

By Dianne King On Friday, August 18, at 6:00 p.m. the Springville Senior Center (65 E. 200 S.; 801-489-8738) will be pleased to host a brother-and-sister team, Tim O’Collins and Tara Winward, who will acquaint us with their trials and joys as they walked “The Camino,” or “The Way of St. James.” Their presentation is titled “The Journey That Never Ends: From St. Jean to Santiago and Beyond.” Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain has for 1200 years been the destination of thousands of pilgrims from all over Europe (and more recently, the world) to the place reputed to hold the remains of St .James the Apostle. There are numerous routes to Santiago, each varying in length (87 to 1,000 kilometers) and difficulty. People of all ages and abilities have participated. Tara Winward, originally from Pacifica, California, now lives in Orem and is retired from BYU. She said, “I first heard about the Camino from my daughter in 2012 . . . and six months later we walked the French Way 500 miles in 30 days, averaging 16 miles a day . . . very difficult. After arriving in Santiago, we looked at

Springville Children perform Peter Pan

Peter Pan and Captain Hook Duel. By Janice Helmick On July 27, audiences had the opportunity to watch the performance of Peter Pan put on by the Springville Playhouse at Springville High School. My husband, Ed and I have been involved with this play from the beginning because our good friend Mark Shipley designed,

Photo: Ed Helmick

painted and constructed the backdrop. Mark is the father of Tannie Hjorth who directed the play. Peter Pan lived in Neverland, and Neverland lives in the mind of every child, and in the imagination of the child that lives in every adult. It is a play about children, performed by children. There were 150 young peo-

ple who tried out for the play, and only about 70 of them could be used. Peter Pan and Tinker Belle were very engaging, and Captain Hook was fierce even if he was short. The costuming was well designed and added to the eye appeal. Quoting from the program, “This is the inaugural year for the Springville Playhouse’s Youth Theater Council. They have been an integral part of putting on this year’s production. They are given internship responsibilities for all aspects of the play.” The performance schedule is July 28, 29, and 31 and August 3, 4, and 5. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the play begins at 7. Tickets are $8 for students and senior citizens, $9 for adults, or $45 for a family of six. We have been asked thank Springville City, the Springville Arts Commission, Nebo School District and Springville High School Theater Department for the use of the Springville High School facilities. On a clear summer’s night if a star winks at you, let your inner child take a trip to Neverland for a real adventure. Your safe return is almost guaranteed.

Project Share in need of donated space By David and Tanya Teams Project Share began nearly four years ago with the compassionate idea of reaching out to help our neighbors in the local South Utah county area - those unfortunate neighbors who have found themselves in dire need, who have felt they had nowhere to turn. Project Share was born in Early September of 2013. With the motto of “People Helping People”, the Erickson family turned to the community to ask for help, starting by tackling one desperate situation at a time. Shelly Erickson began posting online asking those who could help, to fill the urgent needs of those who found themselves facing such circumstances. It began with donations of food, clothes, furniture, and sometimes money. Project Share has helped hundreds of folks right here in South Utah County when they felt there was nowhere else to turn. Project share has evolved over the years and has stepped in to offer

assistance for hundreds of people. The response from the community has been unbelievably generous, even from the beginning. Over the almost 4 years of service, many people have helped in many different ways. However, at this point in time, Project Share has a much bigger need. Project Share is outgrowing the Erickson family’s ability to handle it all from their home. Shelly is asking for someone to take over the clothing portion of Project Share, the Project Share Clothing Closet. There is a growing need for donations of clothing but Shelly has very limited space for everything that’s needed to continue providing this service. She is also in need of someone to take over the Project Share Shed that houses mostly furniture such as beds, dressers, table’s chairs, etc. Both of these service areas need a large space to function properly. The space should realistically be at least the size of a double car garage. It should be an area that is indoors away from the

weather. Along with the needed space, is the need for someone who wants to help, and to continue this valued and needed service for our community. It requires someone who could work hand in hand with the Erickson family to provide for the local needs. If two generous people or families could step up and take over these two sections of Project Share, it would allow all of the areas to grow & provide even more support when and where needed. If you are interested in donating, helping, or taking on the Clothing Closet or Shed, please reach out to Shelly. You can connect with Project Share through Facebook under Project Share – Payson Utah or by calling Shelly personally at 801-400-6896. Love and Charity are Limitless – Project Share is a Labor of Love. For the full story on Project Share and its founder Shelly Erickson, please see our website Servedaily.com.

Kids on the Move offers classes for teens with autism By Heather Bowers

Parents of teens with autism can now access a proven social skills group that improves teens’ ability to make friends. Kids On The Move (KOTM) now offers the first Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS) class in Utah County for teens with autism. “Kids On The Move is excited to offer this new service to families in the area,” said Scott Bean, CEO of KOTM. “We know that it can change lives, and encourage families to sign up and get the help they’ve been looking for.” Founded at UCLA by Dr. Elixabeth Laugeson, PEERS is a manualized, social skills training intervention for youth with social challenges and has a high proven success rate. Such was the case with Joey Hersholt, a 17-year-old boy from Los Angeles. Hersholt has a mild form of autism and struggled in high school with making friends. After attending PEERS, Hersholt significantly improved his ability to make phone calls, hang out with friends, and develop new talents. Where PEERs is implemented, teens with autism who attended reported to have more peer interactions outside of school and increased the number of get-togethers they hosted. Starting July, KOTM invites families with teens with autism to apply to the 12week social skills class. KOTM accepts applicants with autism between the ages of 14 and 18. Classes start in August; however space is limited so applicants are encouraged to apply now. To apply, contact Leslie Lilino at llilino@kotm.org or call 385208-0538. For more information regarding PEERS, visit www.kotm.org/peers or https://www.semel.ucla.edu/peer Kids On The Move, Inc. (KOTM) is a nonprofit organization located in Orem, UT. KOTM supports the development of young children and families by “empowering families, one kid at a time.” For more information about Kids On The Move, please visit www.kotm.org, or call 801.221.9930.

Springville Grad will perform at Art Museum By Ginny Ackerson The Springville Arts Commission’s 2017/2018 Sunday Concert Series season will commence on August 20th at 4:30 in the Springville Museum of Art. Jennifer Bate is the featured artist and will sing a program of show tunes and contemporary musical numbers. This concert is free to the public. From a young age, Jennifer had a beautiful voice. She once had a teacher complain to her mother that Jennifer's incessant singing was disrupting to the class! It wasn’t until later in life that she discovered for herself that she had a real love for singing. Although hesitant and unsure if music was her passion, she decided to pursue a music education after her graduation from Springville High School. Accepted into the vocal performance program at BYU and receiving the BYU Vocal Performance Scholarship, she has studied opera for the past three years until she recently ventured into the world of theater and pop music. After spending this summer recording her more contemporary music and producing a CD, she will continue as a senior at BYU studying voice, and will be playing the role of Lauretta in BYU's fall production of Puccini's Gianni Schicchi. Previous performances include singing the aria "Ach

Ich Fuhls" from The Magic Flute, by Mozart, with the Utah Symphony as a part of the “Salute to Youth” program. She participated in shows such as Hello Dolly at Springville High School, where she played Miss Dolly Levi. She participated in other productions such as The Magic Flute, Carmen, a Gilbert and Sullivan Medley and many singing competitions. The Art City Brass Quintet has been invited to perform on Sunday, September 17th. They play the classics, the jazzy toe tappers, and original compositions and arrangements written by their talented players. Their goal is to promote their genre throughout Utah and beyond if the opportunity occurs. They’re crazy about performing and will play just about anywhere. ACB was founded in May 2014 by Shawn Shearer, trumpet, and Danielle Dinkelman, trombone. They were lucky enough to attract some of the best musicians in the state; Robert (Bob) Peterson, a fantastic trumpet player, arranger, and composer; Jeﬀ Michaelis, who is the principal horn of the Utah Valley Symphony and Marcus Voght, tuba player and educator, who plays with the Utah Premiere Brass, The American West Symphony, as well as various Traditional Dixieland Jazz Bands. Budding young musicians should hear this polished brass quintet!

SF Softball coaches get fields named for them

Summer vs Back to School By Joseph Capell

The 2017 Lady Dons Championship Softball Team and coaches. By Karen Willoughby SPANISH FORK – The Don Andrews and Natalie Jarvis fields at the Spanish Fork Softball Complex honor a 20-year coaching team at Spanish Fork High School. A ceremony announcing the name change came after – but planned months before – the duo led the Spanish Fork Lady Dons softball teams to 15 titles, including in May its third straight 4A state championship. “Don [Andrews] and Nat [Jarvis] are the best coaches I have been able to grow up with,” Spanish Fork junior Gabby Beckstrom told Daily Herald sportswriter Jared Lloyd for a May 27 article. “I never knew I would have coaches who would have fields named after them. It was super cool.” Andrews started girls’ softball at Spanish Fork High School with 15 players 20 years ago. Jarvis quickly was onboard to help. The banners identifying the fields’ new names say “Don Andrews Field – Home of the Dons” and “Natalie Jarvis Field – Heart of the Dons.” A 20-minute YouTube video of the recognition ceremony includes accolades by city and school leaders as well as present and former team members. “I believe in these two and this program,” said Spanish Fork High School Principal Dave McKee. “Spanish Fork High School loves you.” In his remarks, city Parks and Recreation Director Dale Robinson said Andrews and Jarvis did more than just teach softball skills and techniques. “They taught dedication and hard work, too.”

The head coach at Salem Hills High School, a former softball Lady Don, spoke of her appreciation for the skills “and so much more” she learned. Those fortunate enough to play under the direction and support of Andrews and Jarvis, “leave this program better people,” she said. One current team member referred to one aspect of Andrews’ coaching style: “You weren’t a member of the club until you were yelled at by Don, and we are all members,” she said with a laugh. Andrews is equally known for the encouragement he gives to the team, and that includes Jarvis. “No way could I have made 20 years [coaching this team] without Natalie,” the head coach told the hundred or more people at the fields-naming ceremony in late May. “I’m pleased that Nat got a field because when they say she is the heart of this team, she is,” Andrews continued. “She doesn’t get the credit she deserves.” “It’s a collaboration between us,” the head coach told Lloyd. “Sometimes she cusses me and sometimes I listen. She is invaluable. If she quit, I’d quit.” The first pitch in the 2017-18 Lady Dons season is not until next Spring.

Summer vacation! For those who don’t have to be at work, it can be a wonderful, fun-ﬁlled adventure. But, seemingly without warning it’ll be time to go back to school, and it will all come to a screeching halt. On a random summer day, you can sleep in until 10:30 (or later) if you want. Once school starts, the alarm goes oﬀ before 7:00 a.m. On a random summer day, you can take your time and make a big, nice, fancy breakfast. (Or brunch.) (Or lunch, depending on how long you sleep in.) Once school starts, you’ll be lucky if you have enough time to scarf down a bowl of Lucky Charms before you have to get out the door. On a random summer day, you can do just about anything you want. You can go camping, hiking, swimming, picnicking, or any other fun activity you can think to do. Once school starts you can still do anything you want...except for between

the hours of 7:00 a.m and 4:00 p.m. when all your time is precisely scheduled. Or after 9:00 p.m. when you need to be in bed. On a random summer day you can stay up as late as you want; there is no bedtime. Once school starts, if you stay up past 9:00 p.m. you’re going to have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning. On a random summer day, there won’t be any homework, but there might be a parade, or a carnival, or fireworks. Once school starts, there WILL be homework. On a random summer day you can wear whatever you want: shorts, sweatpants, tank tops, swimsuits, flip flops or thongs. (Okay, well maybe not thongs.) Once school starts you have to be presentable, so you usually wear new clothes. They look nice, but they might not be comfortable because they aren’t broken in yet. On a random summer day, the sun rises before you get out of bed, and it doesn’t go down until late in the evening. Once school starts, the sun hides behind the mountains earlier and earlier every night. On a random summer day, you can enjoy yourself and think that summer will never end. Once school starts you can start looking forward to NEXT summer. There’s more funny-ish stuff twice a week at slowjoe40.com. Check it out!

Change by the Cent will help needy

Chris Baird with stickers By Karen Willoughby

Food pantries in Spanish Fork and Payson are to be recipients of proceeds from bright orange, sticker-dispensers scattered across southern Utah County. It’s a simple concept: Buy a sticker – of your choice of a Disney or DC Comics character, sports team or similar illustration – for 50 cents, 75 cents or a dollar. The total price you pay will go directly to Tabitha’s Way or Agape Ministries, to help provide food to people in need. “My initial goal is to raise about $2,500 a month,” said the venture’s founder, Chris Baird, who also is editor, publisher and founder of the Serve Daily newspaper covering southern Utah County. “Every penny will go toward helping people get the food they need.” He started “Change By The Cent” on the heels of last year’s “Bubbles,” which were 3-inch stickers in the shape of Serve Daily’s distinctive “SD” bubble-shaped logo. Available last fall for a donation at Allens Super Save Markets in Springville and at Stokes Market in Salem, the effort drew in $1,600 to help feed people. Change By The Cent expands that onetime, seasonal, event to better support the needs of people who find they have month left after their money runs out. There is a cost to this community ministry, mainly the cost of the machines and the cost of the stickers themselves, which have a higher price than some because of the licensed images. But which young child doesn’t want a sticker of Frozen, Cars or Minions, or perhaps Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman? Company sponsorships will offset the

cost, Baird explained. “We need to find 30-plus companies willing to donate a given amount of money to promote this, to purchase equipment and additional stickers, and to make prizes available,” Baird said. “They’ll get publicity in the newspaper, on the [sticker-dispensing] machine, on the digital display above the machine, and they’ll be known as companies that help their communities. “It’s win-win-win,” the entrepreneur continued. “People will get the food they need; the company will get the satisfaction of helping make a difference in their community, and the company will get free advertising.” As this issue of Serve Daily goes to press, the Aria Salon in Spanish Fork has become Change By The Cent’s first corporate sponsor. One of the bright orange sticker dispensers is located in its waiting area, and on the cardboard backing of some of the stickers is stamped “Winner!” Prizes for those winners could be anything a corporate sponsor wants to donate, from – as in the case of Aria Salon, a haircut – to a donut to an oil change to a candy bar to a gift card or ... In some instances, Baird said, the prizes will be dependent on the total number of stickers bought, or perhaps the “winner’s” name will be entered in a drawing. “This is all about all of us working together for people in our community who need a helping hand,” Baird said. “Every time you buy a sticker, you help. The more stickers you buy – and what kid doesn’t like stickers? – the more you help. You can bring a smile to your child’s face, and a full tummy to a child – or a family – in need.” In addition to corporate sponsors, Change By The Cent is looking for additional locations for the sticker-dispensers and the digital displays above them that will show what the sticker program is and what it does, in addition to promoting the corporate business sponsors. The units stand about five feet high and two feet square. “The more we have out, the more help we can be,” Baird said. “I had some neighbors in Springville who needed help with food and realized from them how prevalent sometimes the need is. With Change By The Cent, we can help feed more people and alleviate more hunger, and that’s my ultimate concern.”

Springville residents to hold Art show in September

The art of Springville residents Bill and Marilyn Brown. By Marilyn Brown Springville residents, Mr. and Mrs. Bill and Marilyn Brown, have collected their paintings for a special showing at the gallery of the Health and Justice Building (100 South University Ave. in Provo) all during the month of September. Marilyn, author of almost twenty Western historical novels, (plus Atlanta Georgia’s publication of Images of America: Provo, and honored by recent Whitney Lifetime Achievement Award) and Bill Brown,

Utah County realtor, thespian and past manager of Springville’s Villa Playhouse, have both won awards for their work. They will be honored with a reception for their display on Friday, September 1, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. The couple took up painting in their senior years and have been honored with prizes from both St. George and local shows, including the Covey Center. They are excited to share some of their best pieces in this art gallery. Bill’s early experience with painting

was in a scene painting class from the BYU degree in theatre he received in 2002. He adapted his large work for smaller canvases, and has done very well—mainly painting landscapes in Zion National Park and in Hobble Creek Canyon, where they live. Marilyn, who took some art classes in BYU in 1962, mentions that after raising a family of six and publishing so many books, she is thrilled to concentrate on the visual arts again. “It’s a good activity for us to do together. We take trips with our paint supplies and paint outdoors plein air. On each trip we’ve sold some of our paintings.” One of Marilyn’s paintings was adopted by a national book company, “Goodreads” for one of their medallions. “I felt honored,” Marilyn says. “I hope our Provo and Springville friends will come to see this painting and the others in our show.”

Educating teens about the harms of pornography By Miriam Hall As Miss Springville/Mapleton, my service platform is “Education on the Harms of Pornography.” Fight the New Drug (FTND) is the primary organization that I have partnered with to aid families in learning how to protect themselves from pornography. FTND is an anti-pornography, non-profit organization that provides facts, personal accounts, and science-based information to spread the the message about the harmful effects of pornography. They are the initiators of the “Porn Kills Love” movement, and their primary focus centers on showing how pornography affects the brain exactly like a drug, how it negatively affects relationships, and how it impacts society as a whole.

FTND gives live, age-appropriate presentations in school assembly settings. Thanks to the generous donations of many Springville and Mapleton businesses, these presentations are coming to all of the Jr. highs and high schools in Springville and Mapleton. FTND will also hold parent meetings in conjunction with the student assemblies. These presentations will educate over 4,000 teens and their parents on how to protect themselves from pornography and fight pornography addiction. In addition to the live presentations, all youth and young adults ages 20 and below will have access to FTND’s “Fortify” addiction recovery program for FREE.

FTND’s message is non-religious and non-political, and it gives real help and real hope to those who are struggling with pornography. I encourage everyone to visit FTND’s website, fightthenewdrug.org, for more information on how you can protect yourself and your family from pornography.

SD Statistics sober local Driver’s Ed students By Karen Willoughby Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of articles about driver safety. STATEWIDE – The correct term is car crashes, not car accidents. That’s the first thing high school students in driver’s education classes are taught by a representative of the nonprofit organization Zero Fatalities. Crashes aren’t accidents because, “Almost all crashes stem from driver behavior like drinking, distracted driving and other risky behavior,” according to a New York Times article that noted safety advocates’ attempt to “change a 100-year-old mentality that they say trivializes the single most common cause of traffic incidents: human error.” Kylie Christensen of Zero Fatalities spoke about crashes to a group of 80 students and their parents one recent day-one of a Driver’s Education class at Mapleton High School. A full 94 percent of crashes were caused by human error, Christensen said. Her first question asked how many in the school’s auditorium thought zero fatalities was possible, when so far this year, 128 people have already died on Utah’s roads. Her second question, which echoed a biblical query, started with a statistic: Last year in Utah, 280 people lost their lives in car crashes. Would 45 be a more acceptable statistic? How about 25? Ten? One? But what if that one were your son, your daughter, your dad or mom or sister or brother or …? The room quieted as those present considered the possibilities. The Zero Fatalities’ hour-long presentation made five basic points. It was the first session of a two-week Driver’s Education class that strives to provide a thorough explanation of rules of the road, state crashes laws and safe driving techniques. Every person under the age of 19 is required by law to go through a driver’s education instruction period. This is available online for $325, or in a high See DRIVE on page 19

Spanish Fork Theater’s The Little Mermaid wows audiences By Janice Helmick On July 24, audiences celebrated Pioneer day by attending the matinee performance of “The Little Mermaid.” We found the play captivating, and the set more sophisticated than expected. The production is put on by the Spanish Fork Community Theater at the Spanish Fork High School which seats about 1,000. The matinee was sold out. My favorite performances were those of Dan Bigler who played Sebastian the red lobster, and his wife, Krystal Bigler who played Ursula, the wicked octopus. Dan told us that Krystal designed her own makeup. Ursula’s costume was the best of the entire cast. Beth Spotten, whose daughter is one of the Mersisters, found the stage setting very colorful, and the costumes wonderful. Her favorite number was “Under the Sea,” and she would have liked to be a jellyfish. The jellyfish were in white costumes, carried white illuminated umbrellas and actually came down into the audience. We talked to Michelle Huish, the mother of Caden Huish, who plays Flounder. She is very proud of her son, and loved the performance which she has seen at least two times, and will come again. Caden is excited about his first role with the Spanish Fork Community Theater, and is especially happy to be playing Flounder. Caden has been in several Spanish Fork Youth Theater productions and several productions at Spanish Fork Junior High. It will be interesting to see where he goes from here. Kristi Frei who is the music director, filled in for one of the actresses who was unavailable for the matinee performance. She was pleased with the success of the production. The production is well worth the cost of admission which is $8 for senior citizens, $6 for children and $10 for adults.

She spent the last ten years of her life working with the Spanish Fork Community Theater helping to design costumes and bringing them to life with her sewing machine. Larisa Hicken, the Vice President for the board of Spanish Fork Community Theater and Publicity Chairman wants the public to know they are accepting applications for members of the board, and that they will be doing “See How They Run” with the Harvest Moon Hurrah Players in the fall.

Harward Farms picks, delivers its produce fresh daily

Pat Robertson sorts produce at the Harward Farms stand on Hwy 89 by Chevron station in north Springville. By Karen Willoughby SPRINGVILLE – They’re picked fresh, early each summer’s day, and most if not all the succulent ears of corn seen by

mid-morning at local Harward fruit/veggie stands are gone by suppertime. If not, they’re given to the Utah Food Bank. “We pick fresh every morning so

you’re assured it’s fresh and good,” Jake Harward told Serve Daily. “We choose [to plant] good varieties for the best sweetness.” Lenard Harward began farming and feeding beef cattle in Springville in 1945. Today, his son Jud, and Jud’s two sons – Lenny and Jake – have expanded the family’s west Springville operation into a large, diversiﬁed agri-business. Jud heads the hay production and marketing division as well as the straw mulching for forest ﬁre reclamation division. He and Lenny together boss the high moisture corn milling operation. Lenny handles the agri-spraying division and the DeKalb Seeds operation. Jake’s work is closest to that of household consumers. He heads the fresh vegetables and produce division, the road side stands, Jaker’s Jack-O-Lanterns each fall, and agricultural fertilizers operations, as well as the annual “Little Hands Farm Camp” in June. Jake spent a few minutes with Serve Daily one recent sunny summer’s morning to talk about Harward Farms’ roadside stands.

All its acreage is in west Springville, the third-generation farmer said: 180 acres in corn; 50 acres in watermelon and cantaloupe; 20,000 tomato plants. “It’s a good climate here, good soil, good water,” Jake Harward said. “We’re still farming some of the same ground our grandfather [Lenard Harward] did. There are lots of houses being built but we’re still farming around them.” The Fastlane variety of sweet corn is being harvested as July ﬂows into August. Harvesting of all Harward’s sweet corn varieties starts in mid-July and ends in late September. Harward’s distinctive dark green stands are scattered from South Salt Lake City to Delta, with two stands in Springville, two in Spanish Fork and one in Payson. The harwardfarms.com website includes a map that shows the 25 stands’ locations. The stands are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Read more about Harward Farms on Serve Daily.com.

DRIVE

Mamma Cat’s hits the streets

from page 16

By Heather Linde Mama Cat’s Food Emporium had their ribbon cutting on July 18. This food truck is family owned and makes everything from scratch. Twelve people were at the ribbon cutting. After preparing and building up for three months, the food truck opened in May of this year. All of the employees

are family, and the truck is owned by Benjamin Vasquez. Their specialty is American and Mexican cuisine. Mama Cat’s Food Emporium is based out of Payson and will specifically cater to the people of Utah County. Their goal is to provide a delicious and local alternative to major food chains. We are pleased to welcome this newest addition to the street food trend.

Students practice on the driving range. school classroom setting for $100. Not only is the onsite class a third the cost of the online class, but the class also includes the Zero Fatalities presentation that is replete with vivid short crash videos. Christensen, a former soccer star in St. George, has made about 175 presentations across the state since she started work in April 2016 for the organization that has the goal of saving lives, “starting with your own.” Teenage drivers make up 8 percent of Utah drivers, but they’re involved in 21 percent of crashes, Christensen said. “If you have one friend in your car, chances of a crash double,” she added. This statistic led to one state law that says no one but a family member is permitted to be in a vehicle with a teen who has been driving less than six months. Most of day two’s class was taken up with discussion about that law. One teen asked about his longtime best friend, who is closer to him than a brother. Can he be in the car within the first six months? “Nope,” responded Eric Hyer, Mapleton High School science teacher who has been teaching Driver’s Education classes for two years. The Utah law reads, “Passenger limitations, whether resident or nonresident of this state, may not operate a motor vehicle upon any highway (ANY public roadway) with any passenger who is not an immediate family member of the driver until the earlier of: Six months from the date the license was issued; or the driver reaches 18 years of age.” Among the alarming statistics Christensen shared. More than 90 percent of teen crashes happen within two months of receiving their driver’s license; Fatal crashes increase by nearly 45

percent when a 16- or 17-year-old driver has one teenage passenger; it doubles with two teen passengers, and quadruples with three or more; A teen driver crash occurs in Utah every 48 minutes; Utah teen drivers are nearly twice as likely to be in a crash than drivers 20 and older; and Per mile driven, drivers ages 16 to 19 are nearly three times more likely to be in a fatal crash than drivers ages 20 and older. “Proven strategies can improve the safety of young drivers on the road,” according to the U.S. government’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as stated in the parent’s guide passed out by Zero Fatalities. Christensen directly addressed parents at one point in her Zero Fatalities presentation: “You need to be the driver you want your teen to be,” she said. “Teens who are taught safe driving habits from their parents are much less likely to get in a crash,” according to “Be Smart. Be Safe. A parent’s Guide to Smart Teen Driving” booklet given to parents before the class started. Teen (ages 15-17) deaths has declined 65 percent since the program was established in 1999, the booklet continued. In his comments after the Zero Fatalities presentation, Hyer encouraged parents to drive with their teens. They need 40 hours of driving before getting their license, and he would only be with them for six of the daytime hours, he said. Additional articles in this series will provide statistics and information related to seat belts, aggressive driving, impaired driving, distracted driving and drowsy driving, as well as state laws and regulatory instructions.

April James continues to dream By April James I heard a quote once that said, “Some people dream big dreams, others wake up and make them happen.” I’m a big thinker. I’m not afraid to dream big. I believe that we all have it within us to create the things in life that we want most. I also believe that as we use our gifts and talents to bless those around us, our dreams are brought to a reality in ways we couldn’t have imagined. It may not always work out how we thought it would, but it will work out, and we will be better for having tried. Sometimes it’s in the “trying” that we find out what our dreams are really about. Sometimes the trying and trying again is what the journey is all about. We try, we learn what works and what doesn’t work, and then we use that understanding to try again, differently. That brings me to now. I’ve had a dream, and I’ve done my best to make it become a reality. I dreamed of this unique shop where people could come and be inspired. It would be a place where the broken, lost and forgotten are given a new life. Where the power of creativity is fostered and memories are made. Broken things could be fixed, and mended and then loved in a whole new way. In my dream, this shop was more than just a store, it was an experience. Slowly this dream became reality. With Phil and my family at my side painting, hauling, and endlessly packing trailers full of “stuff” we built my dream and invited all of you in. You came and I watched as many of you caught a glimpse of my dream. We have laughed a

Phil and April James owners of April James Interiors lot, and cried a little. And that’s why I do what I do. I do it because, in your eyes, I see what I dreamed about. Almost every dream has had a plot twist. There always seems to be something unexpected and often not understood. And so it is with this dream of mine. Our plot is taking a sudden twist and things are about to change. Dreams don’t pay bills. The cost of doing business, in the way we have been trying to do it, is just too high for what our current sales can support. The time is come to make changes. And so with that, September 23rd will be our last day of our business as it is now and we are looking for someone to lease our space. We are so very thankful for all of you who have been such a big part of our store. You are our friends. We all know that when one door closes, another one opens and we are excited to see what comes next in our journey, we hope you will come along for the ride!

Zions Bank Gives Back SPRINGVILLE - At their August 1 open house and ribbon cutting ceremony for their new 759 West 400 South Springville financial center, Zions Bank officials donated $300 to the Kids Cause Foundation, a local nonprofit that helps kids have basic needs to help them stay focused on their academics. The new bank in Springville is over 3,500 square feet and includes three drive-up teller lanes, two lobby teller windows; two ATMs, one which offers 24/7 access; and a 24/7 exterior deposit

box. It was designed by Preston Muir Architects and built by R&O Construction. “We look forward to providing expanded resources and services to the growing business and residential community of Springville.,” said Chad Bishoff, manager of Zions Bank’s Springville financial center. “Our new team members, along with our current staff, bring a valuable and personal approach to the banking experience.”

Tabitha’s Way provides a chance for RAKM By Karen Willoughby Editor’s Note: Tabitha’s Way is one of the RAKM entities in Serve Daily’s South Utah County’s readership area. RAKM – Random Acts of Kindness Moments – illustrate the fact that it doesn’t take a lot of time to make a difference in someone’s life. SPANISH FORK – Seven percent of the people who get food from Tabitha’s Way are homeless. The other 93 percent are working folks beset by some unforeseen circumstance such as back surgery, a broken transmission or another calamity. Utah County has about 537,000 residents, and 78,000 of them live at or below federal poverty levels, says Tabitha’s Way founder Wendy Osborne. That includes one out of five Utah County children. In addition, the average apartment rent in Spanish Fork has increased nearly 25 percent in the last six months, according to real estate statistics. Illness, accidents and the state’s $7.25/ hour minimum wage – with salaries that often don’t include health insurance or other benefits – are among reasons so many Utah County residents are “food insecure,” Osborne said, a term she says denotes the anxiety people feel when they don’t know where their next meal is coming from. “We have ample food; we have the resources, but we have a distribution problem. We need to get the food to the people that need it.” Osborne says in a video posted to the home page of TabithasWay.com. Nearly 60% of the people we are serving have a disability or have a major illness that they are dealing with, and that is why our new building in Spanish Fork will be ADA compliant to help meet the needs of persons who are facing these significant challenges. “It’s neighbors helping neighbors.” Tabitha’s Way is one of the RAKM entities in Serve Daily’s South Utah County’s readership area. RAKM – Random Acts of Kindness Moments – illustrate the fact that it doesn’t take a lot of time to make a difference in someone’s life. Volunteers can help in a variety of ways at Tabitha’s Way. Neighbors can give in a variety of ways. Financial is just one avenue of support. FOOD Some area residents buy something for

Tabitha’s Way when they do their own grocery shopping; they host neighborhood (and school) food drives and food scavenger hunts; they volunteer their time and/or they donate so people can find what they need when they go “shopping” at Tabitha’s Way. It’s called “client choice.” People stop in at 140 N. Main in Spanish Fork – a second store is now open in American Fork, northern Utah County – and give some demographic information along with showing a picture ID to a client intake representative. “The process to get help is fairly simple,” Pantry Manager Melissa Prins told Serve Daily. “We don’t turn anyone in need away. We just gather demographic information to apply for grants; we keep your information private.” Tabitha’s Way has 25 categories of food on its shelves, with placards showing how many of each category can be selected per family size. There are canned goods, frozen meat, deli items, dairy items and produce. Shoppers twice a month can get a cart and fill it with what they want from what’s available. The most-needed items, according to Inventory Manager Mark Driggs, are cereal, canned meat, peanut butter, canned or dried pinto/black/and the like beans, and chili. “We try really hard to make it an open and caring environment where everyone feels welcome,” Prins said. “Most of the people who come here have jobs, two or three jobs.” Donations of money are needed most as every $10 we receive provides enough resources to feed a person for an entire month. Other donations such as diapers, hygiene and cleaning supplies from area residents are welcomed and needed throughout the year. Filling in the gaps are the donations by several area grocery stores. TEXTILES The average American throws away 70 pounds of clothing a year, SMART Recyclers has determined. As much as 95 percent can be recycled yet only 15 percent is. “It’s only wasted if you don’t do something smart with it,” according to information about recycling footgear and clothing found on the TabithasWay.com website. Since April 2016, Tabitha’s Way has been gathering shoes and clothing in more than 150 bins scattered across

Tabitha’s Way, a Serve Daily RAKM entity, provides food for families in need. South Utah County, and has plans to add 150 additional bins. Rather than being cleaned, sorted, hung or folded, which Tabitha’s Way volunteers used to do, the footgear and clothing are sold wholesale. Proceeds from the resold textiles pay for 25% of the operating cost to run the pantries. That means Tabitha’s Way relies on generous donors to fund the remaining 75% to help keep things going. About 95 percent of textiles can be recycled, according to the website. About 45 percent can be re-worn, so it’s sold. Another 30 percent can be turned into cleaning cloths and sold. About 20 percent is winnowed down to its fibers. The second life for a stained t-shirt can be as a cleaning cloth; a lone sock, pillow stuffing; old denim, household insulation. So, don’t think of castoffs as going to the landfill since they’re “not even good enough” to be worn. No matter how thin or torn, they can somehow be recycled. Just take them to a Tabitha’s Way bin. VOLUNTEER The Grocery Rescue Team goes to area grocery stores and picks up what they want to donate to Tabitha’s Way. Threehour shifts are available between 8 and 11 a.m. Monday through Saturday. Client Intake Representatives meet one-on-one with new clients to get demographic information and familiarize them with Tabitha’s Way. Three-hour shifts are available 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to noon on

Saturday. Shopping Assistants in two-hour shifts during store hours help clients make meals out of the available items at Tabitha’s Way. Strong-armed people are needed to unload items as they come in, and to place them on the pantry shelves, too. Food Drive Leaders organize neighborhood, school and community drives to collect substantial amounts of food at one time. A “Food Drive Kit” is available through Tabitha’s Way to help start the process. Drives can also include babies’ and school kids’ needed items as well as hygiene and cleaning supplies for the home. “We could use 30 volunteers a day, committed volunteers who can come in and volunteer on a regular basis,” Prins said. “That would be so excellent!” About 30 percent of Tabitha’s Way clients speak Spanish, so bilingual volunteers would be helpful, Prins added. Consider Tabitha’s Way as one way you can perform RAKM.

“We have done this remodel ourselves and with the help of friends and family. It has been a lot of work but a lot of fun watching our ideas come to life.” Ream’s Springville Market, 759 East 400 South, offers online grocery shopping with same-day home delivery services, which is a convenience to some. Others prefer shopping in a place that brings wide smiles to customers’ faces. “I like it here,” said Johanna Spivens of Springville as she filled a plastic bottle with orange juice she fresh-squeezed with the help of a self-service machine in the produce department. “It’s pretty. It’s clean. The people are friendly and I always leave happy.” The remodel affected each area of the 45,000-square foot store that dates to the store’s founding in 1991. A pharmacy was added. It has stateof-the-art computer systems, a drive-up window, and a private consultation room with one-on-one time with one of Ream’s two pharmacists, Kyle Lynn and Jeff Russell. Vaccinations are offered for flu, whooping cough, shingles and pneumonia. The bakery was moved; ithas a new oven and several new display cases. Chaz and Carrie Hill, who have been baking at Ream’s Springville Market for more than 16 years, are known for being one of the few “scratch bakeries” left in Utah Valley, Brimhall said. “They are known for home-style breads, donuts and over 30 varieties of fritters,” the owner continued. Next to the pergola that frames the floral department at the right of the store entrance is the fresh orange juice-making machine that is an incredibly tasty highlight of the produce department. Two sizes of containers are next to the machine. Just put one under the spigot, press the lever and watch the oranges drop into squeeze position. “Our produce department is second to none,” Brimhall said. “Our produce manager, Brandon Stephenson, works with our suppliers to get the freshest produce, often picked just the day before,

and trucked directly to our store.” Upon request, Stephenson sends emails to customers to let them know when a fresh shipment of strawberries or raspberries has arrived. Reams also is known for the exotic fruits and vegetables from other countries Stephenson brings in for customers to try. “Custom Cuts” is the name of the remodeled meat department, where meat is hand-trimmed by Cory Campbell – when he’s not having fun making short videos for Ream’s Facebook page – and his team. This department still grinds, cuts, and wraps fresh meat daily, and cooks barbecued ribs, pulled pork, prime rib and other items on demand. There are new dairy coolers and another aisle for frozen foods in the remodeled Ream’s, plus a new cheese gondola and coolers for homemade salads, wraps, pot pies and more. Pizza crusts are handtossed and baked in a cherry wood-fired oven for taste not found in more typical ovens. “Our new décor is authentic to us, our area and our customers,” Brimhall said. “We love the nostalgic feel of each department and the times it makes us think of.” Ream’s, which employs about 100 people, keeps about 50,000 different products on its shelves. The “house brand” is Western Family, with several national brands as well, and with the remodel came in some new brands: Simply done, for paper goods; PAWS pet supplies and food; Tippy Toes baby goods; and TOPCARE over-the-counter meds, first-aid, health and beauty supplies. “We believe in people and principles before profit, and that organizations exist so ordinary people can do extra-ordinary things,” Brimhall said. “We’ve built an atmosphere of excitement, loyalty and family here. “We are your hometown, local market with the best customer service because we know your name,” the owner continued. “We are your neighbors and friends.”

Strap Tank Brewing Company: Drought is over good food is here

By Amy Baird hen you walk into the Strap Tank Brewing Company in Springville you feel like you’ve gone back in time into an old bike shop with huge exposed wood beams, big metal pillars, and an industrial feel. The name “Strap Tank” comes from a 1907 Harley Davidson that had the tank strapped to the bike with nickel-plated steel straps. The building was built to resemble an early Harley Davidson factory. It just looks industrial, aged and super cool. I totally loved it.

Beer battered fish and chips: crispy, flaky and delicious

There is a bar that serves a variety of alcoholic beverages and the menu has beer on tap. Plus, they have a brewery on site, hence the name of the restaurant. I loved it because it felt edgy and cool enough for bikers passing through town but at the same time there were families with young children. It is a very welcoming atmosphere. They even have outdoor seating with misters. Strap Tank has a variety of menu items including burgers and sandwiches, salads, pizzas, and classics. We ordered a variety of options from each menu category. Honestly, I loved everything that I tried. Plus, the food was presented beautifully. After years of watching the Food Channel, I’m a sucker for presentation and the plating was gorgeous. Ok, now to the food. I was really surprised with my favorite, the steak salad. When I think of steak, I think of a big juicy steak with a baked potato. The idea of steak and salad just seems a little strange. However, this salad was glorious. From the fresh spring mix lettuce blend that was crisp and delightful to the blue cheese crumble to the vinaigrette dressing to the sweet little tomatoes to the fresh asparagus. Then you add in the unexpected steak. It was so tender and just melted in my mouth. Combine that with the light crisp crunch and you have a little bit of salad perfection. Another favorite was the strap tank tacos. You can get them with cod, chicken or steak. They have a cabbage and pico de gallo with some pretty delicious cilantro lime sauce. The steak was tender and perfectly cooked was set off by the tart freshness of the condiments. It came with rice.

Cowboy Donuts will knock your boots off By Heather Linde SPANISH FORK - Cowboy Donuts held their ribbon cutting on July 12. A great turnout came from both the community and the Spanish Fork-Salem area Chamber of Commerce members. They’re located at the corner of Highway 6 and Center Street in Spanish Fork, at 1306 E Center Street. The owner and operator of Cowboy Donuts is Brandon Gordon, a member of the local community. He’s lived in Spanish Fork his whole life. The shop

employs multiple people from the community as well. Brandon is excited to bring a fresh donut shop to the area. They offer 55 varieties of sweet donuts, as well as savory baked kolaches. All are said to knock your boots off. The store will continue to give back to the community through their local fundraisers and other community involvement. Stop in to try a donut and welcome them to the community!

Cowboy Donuts Ribbon Cutting on July 12.

Strap Tank ’s Island Burger is pineapple perfection. The burgers were a thing of beauty. We got a buffalo burger and an Islander burger. The buffalo burger had a rich flavor and tasted great with the sautéed onions. The Islander burger had a grilled pineapple that had just the right tangy sweetness combined with slices of shaved ham and a sweet sauce. The buns were light and fluffy and beyond anything a fast food place could ever hope to offer. It was one of the best hamburgers I’ve ever had. Next, the pizza. They make a mean thin crust pizza. We got the Hawaiian and I loved it because it had whole rings of pineapple instead of the little tidbits I am used to on a pizza. The ham was great and there was lots of cheese, which makes it a winner for me. Finally, fish and chips. It’s a classic and I love it. Growing up I didn’t like fish. I thought all fish tasted like the

trout my brothers brought home from the lake. Nope. This is good stuff. The fish is beer battered and fried to a perfect crispy golden color. The crust was very light and and the fish was tender. It came with some delicious tartar sauce, fresh lemon wedges, and malt vinegar. I got the traditional fries which have a similar light crispy crust. It was a delicious combination and I was pleased with my choice. The strap tank is unique because of its great old fashioned biker vibe. It has a great ambiance. Plus, they make delicious food. Most places have one or two signature items that you are safe ordering. At Strap Tank, everything was good. Finally, a great sit-down restaurant with a fun vibe and food to rave about! Strap Tank is located at 1750 West 597 South, Springville. Their hours are Monday to Thursday 11am to 11 pm.

Intermountain Ribbon Cutting on July 13.

On Thursday, July 13, Intermountain Nutrition held the grand opening of their new building. This is their ﬁfth building in their ﬁve years of business, due to rapid growth. There was a good turnout, with between 350 and 400 people estimated to have been in attendance at the grand opening. The company employs just fewer than 100 people. One of the main reasons their new location was chosen was the fact that it sits on 44 acres of land, which means they can expand rather than move again. Their new building is 100,000 sq. feet and is located in Payson. Intermountain Nutrition manufactures

two-piece hard-shell capsules, liquids, powders and skin care products. This includes tubs, stick packs, sachets and stand up re-sealable bags. They have the capability to manufacture 150,000 pounds of product per day. This includes 22,000,000 pills and tablets packaged, and 450,000 bottles, vials, bags, tubs and jars per day. The company will be featured in Utah Business Magazine’s “Emerging Eight”, which is a list of Utah’s fastest growing companies. They will also be featured in the INC 5000 list of America’s fastest growing companies. Both of these will be coming out at the end of next month.

Tantalizing Tombstone Tidbits Two

Anytime Fitness is Payson area Business of the Month By Heather Linde

An old cemetery in Charleston, West Virginia By Ginny Ackerson Now that we know how valuable cemetery records are, how do we find them? Graveyard locations are mentioned on death records, in obituaries, in probate records and occasionally in family bibles. What if the cemetery is no longer active, changed its’ name or has been lost to current memory? There are many options available to help locate these cemeteries. One valuable resource is Epodunk cemetery locator. At Epodunk, you can search by state, county, community and cemetery name. Once you select a cemetery, a map and GPS coordinates are provided along with other options such as nearby cemeteries and communities, local genealogical resources and historical societies, and nearest air ports. Another excellent site is Saving Graves. This site has many informative articles in addition to listing endangered burial sites and giving contact information for each state regarding preservation and laws affecting burials. Websites such as Find A Grave, Interment.net, and BillionGraves.com frequently mention location and name changes of cemeteries. A cautionary note for these sites, make sure the transcription matches the inscription in the picture. I have found several discrepancies which made a huge difference in the direction I took in researching. Many of the larger cemeteries have their own websites which include plot locations.

There are two unique sites for Utah burials; one is from Utah State Government and the other is Utah Gravestones. Now that you have arrived at the cemetery, you are finding that the stones are cracked, faded, or covered with overgrowth. What can we do to garner the information the stones may offer? Make a cemetery discovery kit!! You will need a foam pad to kneel on, sunscreen, bug spray, bottled water, a wide brimmed hat, gardening gloves and boots tall enough to tuck your pants legs in … this protects you from the sun, heat, dirt and unwanted critters such as chiggers. Next, assemble a fully charged camera or phone, flashlight with extra batteries, spray bottle of water (no soap or shaving crème), soft brush, small whisk broom, rags, masking tape with low tack back (painter’s tape) pruning shears, scissors, various length bungee cords with hooks on both ends (these can be used to hold paper in place if the cemetery doesn’t allow tape on the stones), rubbing wax (can be made of old, dark colored crayons melted together) chalk, charcoal, large sheets of paper (butcher paper, tracing paper, parchment), hairspray (only for setting chalk or charcoal rubbings ... never put on stone itself), small notebook and pencil for making notes and a poster or document tube or gift wrap tubes. A good article on how to make stone rubbings is at http://www. wikihow.com/Make-a-Gravestone-Rubbing.

Small businesses in South County get big business opportunities

Lorene Moore of Nebo Comfort Systems and Nick Miller of Weedman. By Lorene Moore Two Payson and Santaquin small business owners are taking advantage of some big business training with the

Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses (10KSB) national program. As business owners, Lorene Moore of Nebo Comfort Systems and Nick Miller of Weedman, are all too familiar with some of the pitfalls and struggles of

This is 20 OurYear! Football You Can’t Hide From It!

small businesses. Small business owners usually get into business because they are good at doing something. Whether it’s heating and air conditioning, lawn care or pulled pork sandwiches, they are everyone’s go to person for it. But once they are in business, they find they also have to be experts in accounting, personnel management, accounts payable, accounts receivable and dozens of other issues that they may not have been prepared for and certainly are not experts in. Many small businesses fail, not for a lack of expertise in their field of service or production, but for a lack of management skills in their leaders. Goldman Sachs has made a $500 million commitment to helping small businesses grow with their 10KSB program. 10KSB gives small business owners access to leadership training, mentoring, and other resources historically only available to larger businesses with large budgets to pay for them. 10KSB graduates across the country have used the tools they have gained in the program, strengthening their local economies by creating jobs and economic opportunities, surpassing local and

national averages in growth. The opportunity to come together with other business owners, sharing insights and advice with peers and learn from one another is a huge part of the 10KSB program. “When you start your own business, you end up doing a of lot learning on the job,” noted Moore. “Some of those lessons can be painful, some costly, some both. Having a group of peers who have learned their own lessons and can be mentors for us is truly priceless.” Both Moore and Miller are strong proponents of businesses in working together, serving on the board of directors of the Payson & Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce, Moore is President and Miller is Treasurer. “The 10KSB program really helped us look at our businesses from every angle.” added Moore. “By measuring our goals and analyzing our efforts, we can see the direction our business is going in as we plan for the direction we want it to go in. That’s how we build lasting success“ Business owners can learn more about the Goldman Sachs 10KSB program and see if they qualify at www.10ksbapply. com.

Quilt show exceeds expectations By Karen Willoughby SPRINGVILLE – The 107 quilts hanging until Sept. 23 at the Springville Museum of Art are the best of the best of the best. “They ran out of space,” Barbara Walsh of Woodland Hills told Serve Daily. Walsh, a 40-year quilting veteran with several ribbons to her credit, was one of three judges for the 44th annual Utah Quilt Show, said by Walsh to be the “Cream of the Crop” of several quilt shows statewide. Entries were submitted from all over the state, she added. The other two judges, each with longstanding skill and reputation, were Bev DeMaria and Gaye Ryon. This year, 122 quilts were submitted to the juried show, one of only two shows in Utah that are judged. The other is the Utah Quilt Guild show, set for Sept. 20-23 at the Davis Conference Center in Layton. All other shows in the state, such as the Utah County Fair in mid-August, hang all the quilts that are submitted.

All but a few of the quilts submitted to the Utah Quilt Show were deemed of sufficient quality to hang in seven galleries and two foyers. This means a certain amount of pre-judging took place because of space limitations, so each of the hanging quilts in essence is a “winner.” The artistry behind several of the quilts was stunning. Serve Daily in particular noted a fruit bowl of apples and halves, with layer upon layer of material showing the apples’ fading color and even the center seeds for each half-apple. Created by Helen Butler, it received an Award of Excellence and even became the main photo for the Utah Quilt Show’s brochure. The quilts ran the gamut from elaborate to deceptively simple. One quilt used 126 different colors of thread. Embroidery, appliques, multi-colored and monochrome, the quilts showed they were breathtaking works of art that obviously took countless hours and dedicated See QUILTS on page 27

“Candy Bomber” Gala to benefit museum in his honor, new airport hanger and STEM programs By Becca Baggaley Provo, UT – “Smile and the world smiles with you,” is what Gail Halvorsen—also known as the Candy Bomber, is all about. Because of the lives he changed for good, Halvorsen’s famous smile is constant and contagious. Born in rural Utah, Mr. Halvorsen joined the Civil Air Patrol in 1941, at the age of 21. He joined the U.S. Army Air Forces, where he was a pilot and eventually formed “Operation Little Vittles,” to raise morale among the German children. Dropping over 23 tons of candy on Berlin, he was given the name “Candy Bomber,” a name that has made him a household hero ever since. Mr. Halvorsen is now 96-years-old, and is a resident at Courtyard at Jamestown. An interest generated by the Spanish Fork Civil Air Patrol continues to grow to fund a museum in his honor. This is in conjunction with a much-need-

from page 26 precision to complete. Rhonda Montgomery designed and completed the “Blessed” top, which was quilted by Charlene Neilson. It was without question Best of Show, Walsh said. “It was an original design and every little detail fit,” Walsh explained the judges’ ruling. “This is a quilt that told the story of a woman and her four children on a beach in Hawaii. “She had all the little elements, even shells in the sand,” the judge continued. “There was nothing wrong with the quilt [and] this came out of her head. … The judges sat there and said ‘WOW.’” In her explanation of the design, noted on a placard to the right of the quilt, Montgomery, a Hawaii native, said, “My life has been truly blessed.” Judging process Each quilt is initially critiqued by two people, separately, with each judge making notes as they examine each quilt. Then the three work together to determine which of the hanging quilts should receive ribbons. There are five “honorable mentions;”

Halvorsen claims his legacy of tossing candy to children would 10 “awards of excellence;” and three “Judge’s choice” (given to a favorite of a judge that didn’t receive another ribbon.) The “Show Committee Award” is determined by those who helped with show logistics; the “Director’s Award” is the selection of the Springville Art Museum’s director, Rita Wright. Best Solitaire Hand Quilting and Best Solitaire Machine Quilting awards also are given, with “solitaire” meaning one person did all the work: stitching the top, adding batting and a back, and quilting together the three pieces. If any quilt that initially receives an “honorable mention” or “award of excellence” ribbon gets a higher-ranking ribbon, the initial ribbon is given to the next-best quilt in the competition, Walsh explained. Utah Quilt Guild In honor of its 40th anniversary, the Utah Quilt Guild was given a gallery to showcase a “traveling show” of 44 redand-white quilts that were not part of the juried show. Since ruby is the gemstone associated with the 40th anniversary, the Guild decided to have just the one red color. Admission to the Utah Quilt Show is

go to help support Utah’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs in hopes of encouraging more youth, like Halvorsen to join this dedicated group of pilots that performs searches by air for recovery or rescue operations. The Candy Bomber Gala will be held September 22, at 6pm at Courtyard at Jamestown and consists of a reception, silent and live auctions, formal dinner and entertainment. Enthusiastic sponsors have already joined together in support of this event. Bettyanne Bruin has a personal interest in this fundraiser because her son-in-law and two grandchildren were recovered by the Civil Air Patrol after a two-day search in February, 2017. “They risked everything they had to give us closure. Without their dedication, our nearly impossible daily task of healing would be unbearable. My daughter, and her family, are forever grateful for the Civil Air Patrol.”

Springville adopts ten dollar fee for non-residents at Bartholomew Pond

Bartholomew Park is a popular place to beat the summer heat.

Since the ribbon cutting two years ago, Bartholomew Pond has been a huge attraction in Springville. Holidays and Saturdays are especially popular. Many Springville residents contacted the Mayor and City Council concerned with overcrowding. Staff struggled with removing massive amounts of trash and maintaining the grounds especially the sand. The reason this decision was approved by Council was to allow Springville residents the opportunity to get more use out of this popular park. Residents may receive their free parking pass from the City offices or the Buildings and Grounds offices located at 443 S. 200 E.

After 63 years Salmon Supper still draws crowds By Karen Willoughby PAYSON – The 63rd annual Payson Salmon Supper was set for 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 4, at Payson City Memorial Park, 300 S. Main. Fire pits are started at noon, so coals get “good and hot,” Janeen Dean told Serve Daily. Dean is the City of Payson’s events coordinator. The town’s volunteer firefighters grill huge chunks salmon over Applewood coals. The only addition: a bit of salt. The portions “are bigger than you’d ever receive in a restaurant,” Dean said. “It’s worth your time to stand in line to receive a dinner.” A dinner includes a baked potato, corn on the cob, cole slaw, roll and cookie in addition to Alaskan farm-raised salmon “grilled over dried fruitwood fires,” according to a poster promoting the event. Cost: $16/person. “It’s just a huge community event,” Dean said. High school cheerleaders and drill team members rotate each year between washing and wrapping potatoes, and chopping cabbage and making cole slaw. Members of the high school football team set out (and later, put

away) the dozens of tables and hundreds of chairs needed for the popular community event. Many community members – including the Lions Club – also serve every year, setting the tables, taking tickets, cleaning up between guests. “They’ve all done it for years,” Dean said. “They know what to do. It all goes very smoothly.” Entertainment changes each year. It’s always local talent; this year it’s mostly singers with 30 to 60-minute performance times. “We’ll also have a children’s group and the local theater group promoting their upcoming ‘The Addams Family,’” Dean said. “Miss Payson always closes, and she’s a dancer.” Payson’s Salmon Supper started in 1954, when men from a local church went fishing in Alaska and caught so much they decided to share it. The event grew from there, to a point that the city was asked to take it over. Everyone is welcome, Dean said. See PaysonUtah.org for ticket information.

DNR Appoints New Division of Wildlife Resources Director

Mike Fowlks Utah Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Director Mike Styler has named Mike Fowlks the new director of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR). Fowlks has more than 24 years’ experience with DWR and has been the agency’s deputy director for the past ﬁve years. He has served successfully as the division’s interim director since early June, when his predecessor, Greg Sheehan, accepted a leadership position with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “Successful management of Utah’s wildlife requires nimble and forward-thinking leadership. That’s exactly what Mike brings to the table. I am so impressed with his vision, proactive leadership and commitment to active wildlife management,” said Styler. “Our wildlife is in outstanding shape and under his direction, I’m conﬁdent it will remain that way.”

Fowlks began his career at the DWR as a ﬁeld conservation oﬃcer in the agency’s Law Enforcement Section. He distinguished himself as a leader and quickly worked his way through the ranks, serving as the Law Enforcement Section chief for eight years. He also served as the agency’s liaison with the Utah Legislature between 1997 and 2003. “I am excited and humbled at the opportunity to serve as the Division’s new director, and I share my predecessor’s commitment to active, hands-on management of our wildlife resources. I believe that this is the only way to maintain thriving and robust wildlife populations,” said Fowlks. “Utahns value wildlife. It’s part of what makes our state such a special place to live. While challenges still exist, we are poised to handle them and excited to build partnerships that keep Utah’s wildlife thriving.” Improving wildlife habitat and relationships with partners and customers is at the forefront of Fowlks’s priorities. DWR is beginning a new era of research and discovery that will focus on the migration and habitat needs of wildlife. The agency will also continue to develop strong partnerships with key wildlife stakeholder groups and will leverage technology to improve hunters’ and anglers’ experiences. Fowlks received his B.S. degree in zoology and animal biology from the University of Utah. He also graduated from the FBI National Academy for Law Enforcement Administrators and the National Conservation Leadership Institute.

Obituary: Farrel Dee Craig

Obituary: Peggy Sue Ellsworth

Peggy Sue Ellsworth Peggy Sue Ellsworth Case was a gentle, loving, and whimsical soul who was much more likely to love people than judge them. She was a talented graphic arts designer pursuing a degree. She was born in Payson, Utah on July 28, 1960 to Richard and JoAnn Hales Ellsworth. She is survived by her father and siblings: Pam (Mark) Wilson, Christine (Alan) Riley, Dan (Becky) Ellsworth, David (Renae) Ellsworth, Craig

(Andrea) Ellsworth, and Sam (Shannon) Ellsworth. Peggy disappeared 29 years ago. Her family has mourned unyieldingly since she has been gone, especially her parents who wondered every day what had become of their sweet baby girl. Most of us have, at one time or another, had our hearts stop as we spotted someone who reminded us of Peggy. Our heartfelt thanks to a good man who followed a spiritual prompting to look and to the Spanish Fork police department - especially Detective Karl Johnston, for his unrelenting search and enduring kindness and respect shown our family. Peggy’s family will hold a private graveside service to celebrate her life and lay her to rest next to our dear Mom. We would love to hear your memories of Peggy and invite you to share them with us at www.brownfamilymortuary. com. When the next unknown person is found, we will all be so grateful to no longer wonder if it is our sweet sister, but our hearts will ache for all families who suffer with not knowing.

Farrel Dee Craig A great man, Farrel Dee Craig, 79, died July 16, 2017 at home in Santaquin, Utah. He passed from a three month illness that affected his lungs. He was born March 15, 1938 in Santaquin, Utah to Orran and Zetha Craig. He married Barbara Jean Johnson on January 21, 1959 in Spanish Fork, Utah. They were later sealed in the Provo Temple on December 11, 1977. Farrel met his sweetheart, Barbara, when he was 19 years old and Barbara was 16 years old. They dated for a couple of years before marrying. During this time, Farrel had a great love of cars and took pride in them. After getting married, he traded his 59 Ford Fairlane convertible in for a second hand car, used furniture, and said he was a family man now. Farrel and Barbara lived on the lot where Farrel grew up and built the home they have lived in for 54 years. Farrel has always been a very hard worker. He taught his family and many others the value of hard work. He truly appreciated those that shared his same values. He would say to those he worked with, “show me don’t tell me.” He was a jack of all trades. He went to trade school for four years and became a licensed journeyman in sheet metal. He had many jobs throughout the years. He worked in the mines, laid tile, worked at Geneva Steel, but came back to working

in heating and air conditioning. He also had a great love of horses. He purchased his first horse when he was 24 years old. He raised and trained many horses and was known for having some of the best horses around. He loved to team rope. He won many saddles and belt buckles while team roping. He was still roping up until three months ago. He passed on his love of horses to many family members. Farrel was instrumental in bringing the city and Buck-a-roo rodeo back to Santaquin for its city celebration. Farrel was also a strong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He spent a lot of his time doing service for others. He was always out pushing snow on his tractor for those who needed it. He and Barbara spent seven and a half years serving at the Provo temple in the baptistry. They also worked as coordinators for stake baptisms for three years. He loved spending time with his family and always took good care of his sweetheart. He especially loved spending time with his grandkids and great grandkids. He loved to tease them and joke with them. He will be greatly missed. Farrel is survived by his wife Barbara Jean Craig; children Chad (Kim) Craig of West Mountain, Shelly Craig of Payson, Neil ( JoEll) Craig of Santaquin, Clay (Angie) Craig of Santaquin; 19 grandchildren; 22 great grandchildren; two sisters Neola (Dale) Baum of Spanish Fork, Delores (Roger) Knotts of Elk Ridge; many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Orran and Zetha Craig, brother Neil Craig, and sister LaNaea Peay. A viewing will be held Wednesday, July 19, 2017 from 6:00-8:00 pm at Brown Mortuary 66 S. 300 E Santaquin. Funeral services will be held Thursday, July 20, 2017 at 11:00 am with a viewing before from 9:45-10:45 am at the Downtown Church, 90 S. 200 E. Santaquin. Interment, Santaquin Cemetery.
