Girls join scout packs boosting growth

By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily

UTAH COUNTY — Felice and Evan Clements of Springville created Pack 1456 nearly ten years ago and have experienced many changes along the way.

However, this year has been the most memorable, as the pack has quadrupled their numbers in eight months after the Boy Scouts of America began admitting girls in January.

In October of 2017, the BSA announced the change, which was made in an effort to give more youth access to the character development and values-based leadership that scouting provides. They call it “Family Scouting.”

This change was highly anticipated, as reported by ScoutingNewsroom.org. “Recent surveys [2] of parents not involved with Scouting showed high interest in getting their daughters signed up for programs like Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, with 90 percent expressing interest in a

program like Cub Scouts and 87 percent expressing interest in a program like Boy Scouts.”

Boys and girls can’t be in the same den, but there are eighteen girls in the pack, making a total of 42 boys and girls. Pack 1456 has members of the community from Santaquin to Pleasant Grove.

According to Felice, “The kids have had a really amazing time.” In fact, they’ve gotten so busy with so many new members, the Clements have had to implement some new policies: the group now has eight leaders and any new child who joins, their parent must become a den leader or assistant den leader.

A lot of the kids are dual registering, meaning they are involved in both their church unit and the private pack.

When asked about any unanticipated problems, Felice explains: “There are some girls with behavior issues because they hadn’t started in the program (as Tigers) in kindergarten. It’s been a learning curve for them to understand 2 Above right: Girls and boys from Pack 1456 pull a handcart.

Adopt-A-Highway unique way to serve

By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily SPANISH FORK — The Adopt-A-Highway program offered by the Utah Department of Transportation allows community members to help keep the Utah state roads clean.

It is a two-year voluntary commitment to clean up litter on two miles of highway or state road, with a minimum of three cleanups per year. To recognize the group's efforts UDOT erects a sign on the section of adopted highway with the group's name.

"When people throw out trash, it’s not going to magically disappear," said Aaron Bryan, who along with his family has adopted a section of highway in Spanish Fork.

Bryan, along with his wife Kari and their four kids, regularly cleans up along SR 147 around 400 N. in Spanish Fork.

He says though the job may sometimes be smelly and sticky, it's been a positive experience for their family.

"It's making the stretch of road look cleaner and nicer and giving our family the opportunity to provide service to the community and spend time together," he said. Bryan said it's a flexible way to provide service to the community and slow down and spend time together as a family.

Groups that sign up to adopt a highway agree to clean litter from a 1-mile or

2-mile section of roadway at least three times a year for at least two years. They can usually pick the time to go and UDOT provides the litter bags and collects them from the side of the road after they've been filled.

Byran said the Adopt a Highway program is a great, but often overlooked, way to give back the community. He said he has observed a lot more people out cleaning the highways in other states. "I don’t see it as much around here. With as much service as is done, this appears to be one thing that there’s either not an awareness or willingness to do," he said.

Bryan said participating has given his family an awareness that sometimes we need to do things out of our comfort zone.

He said, "It helps us realize that if something is going to get done that sometimes volunteers need to step up and provide that service."

While people may think the Adopt a Highway program is for companies, it's really for anyone. Families, youth groups, church groups and friends are encouraged to participate. Those interested in joining the program can visit UDOT.Utah.gov, or contact Kim Krein at 801-227-8000 or kkrein@utah.gov.

the rules and the respect required.”

Felice feels the change has been well received. “Some of the boys weren’t very excited to begin with. But they have embraced it now.”

Older girls will be able to form their own troops and earn the Eagle rank beginning in February 2019.

For more information or if you’d like your child to join, visit joinscouting.org to search for Pack 1456. They will also be having an informational parent meeting in the fall.

The music mafia is running wild and it’s up to Sen. Mike Lee to put them in their place.

Throughout the state and across the country, small businesses like mine are living in fear – fear of two mega-monopolies that will do anything to extort more cash. Those monopolies, which have arisen artificially due to government copyright laws, are called ASCAP and BMI, and they control close to 100-percent of music’s performance rights licensing marketplace. As private businesses in the state know all too well, they give the term

“a force to be reckoned with” new meaning.

It would be one thing if these organizations simply charged market rates to Utah establishments that play music and then went on their way, but there is much more to the story. In the past, they’ve tried to force Girl Scout troops to pay licenses for singing campground songs. They’ve tried to make cell phone companies pay for every cell phone ringtone that goes off. They’ve even targeted funerals and reunions in cases where families unintentionally play remembrance songs without licenses.

Coal Hollow Fire leaves Utah County in a smokey haze

By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily SPANISH FORK — The Coal Hollow fire burned nearly 30,000 acres and left Utah County in a smokey haze as firefighters battled the blaze throughout August. Air quality became especially poor in the Spanish Fork area.

The Coal Hollow fire was started by a lightning strike on August 4. Winds and dry conditions led to 500 foot monster flames that made fighting the fire difficult. At one point, more than 300 personnel were on hand to fight the fire. The fire was downgraded to local incident management on August 27. Total containment is estimated for September 12.

Giant flames from the Coal Hollow Fire reach nearly 500 feet.

Recently elected Mike Smith appointed as Utah Co. Sheriff

By Utah County Commission for Serve Daily On August 21, during a consent agenda item, Utah County Commissioners voted 3-0 to appoint Sheriff-Elect Mike Smith as the interim county sheriff.

During public comment, Smith said he realizes he’s coming into a department with its share of issues, but he’s ready to face them head-on.

The appointment comes after previous Sheriff Jim Tracy resigned earlier this month for personal reasons.

Sheriff Smith began his career in law enforcement in 1994 in Pleasant Grove, Utah. He climbed through the ranks to eventually become Chief of Police. Smith currently still holds the position as Chief of Police in Pleasant Grove and will do so until his successor is appointed.

On August 22 at 1:00 p.m., Smith was

Cancer survivor granted wish

By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily SPANISH FORK — At the age of 4, Jude Davis has spent nearly half his life in and out of the hospital fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Next month he'll have the chance to spend time his time, instead, in "the happiest place on earth."

The Make a Wish Foundation is sending Jude to Disneyworld.

The Spanish Fork Police Department helped announce Jude's wish had been granted with a visit to his house. They pulled up in their vehicles and turned on his favorite song, a classical piece, on their intercom. They then came up the sidewalk with a sign that said, "Jude, You're going to Disneyworld," and gave him toys and games for the plane ride.

"He got really excited and it was pretty cool," said Jude's mother, Robyn Davis.

The pre-schooler was first diagnosed in February 2016. Right now he's in the maintenance phase of the 3 1/2 year treat-

ment schedule. Doctors haven't seen any cancer cells for a couple of years now, but he's still undergoing treatments to keep cancer away.

"So far he's been doing pretty well, he has his ups and downs," she said. Once a month, Jude goes to get chemo through IV port and every three months, he does a lumbar puncture and they inject chemo into his spinal fluid.

Last year, Jude was also diagnosed with high functioning autism.

Throughout it all, Davis said he's been very strong and very positive. "A lot of adults that go through this have a hard time and are sad, but he does it with a smile and sings songs. He's very happy and resilient. He's a pretty special kid," she said.

The Make-a-Wish Foundation works with local donors to help sick children live out their dreams.

"I think they’re incredible," said Davis.

"It’s a group of amazing people that are just trying to help those in need. And I think it’s really cool."

The Spanish Fork Police department tell Jude his wish has been granted.

Ryan Stream makes new Miracle toddler beats September 11 video the odds to come home

By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily

Sgt. Ryan Stream and his family.

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily Motivational speaker, musician and veteran Ryan Stream is at it again with the production of a new video to commemorate our military that have been fighting for this country. His new video to be released September 9 in memory of 9/11 is a heartwarming, tear jerking, country military music video.

This video is about military members leaving their loved ones behind and writing to their children while they are far away in a war zone. As we get older we tend to get busy with our daily duties as providers and it’s very easy to get distracted and not give our family or children the time that they need and deserve.

In this music video a little girl just wants to play with her daddy. They write each other back-and-forth while her dad is away.

SGT Stream left his pregnant wife behind while being deployed for a second time to Afghanistan and when he returned his daughter was 8 months old. During this video, the soldier returned home to his family and his new daughter meets him at the airport. You can view this video and Ryan’s other videos on his website www.ryanstream.com.

Ryan grew up as a child in a dysfunctional family environment with parents who made bad decisions that led them to addiction and prison. He lost his mother to suicide. Ryan and his brothers slept some nights in a homeless shelter and stayed in different foster care homes. The brothers were separated and he felt incredibly lost, alone, and scared. Finally, the boys were reunited in one foster family. Things were looking better, but then in high school, Ryan got into drugs and trouble with the law. That is when Ryan joined the military to make a change in his life. He has passed through the terribly bad years of his life. Now he is a passionate motivational speaker and musician with a positive message that the outcome of your life is based on the decisions you make. All of us are the authors of our own story and only you can write the book of your life.

Ryan has been able to travel all over the country to shoot music videos and share his story. Ryan lives here in Utah County and is excited for the school year to start.

He loves being involved with young people and has had the privilege of speaking at dozens of conventions and assemblies to share the experiences from his life. If you would like to book Ryan Stream you will not be disappointed! He may be contacted at www.ryanstream.com, he presents a powerful and entertaining message.

SANTAQUIN — After a 5 1/2 month uphill battle, 2-year-old McKinley Lael Nilson had a miraculous homecoming in August. The toddler became one of the few people to be weaned from using an external heart assist device without a heart transplant.

McKinley's mother, Ruth, said McKinley was a completely healthy, normal 2-year-old when she caught a virus. After being in and out of the doctor's office and ER for treatment without improvement, she was taken by ambulance to Primary Children's Hospital. Tests showed Parvob19 attacked had and enlarged her heart, which put her in heart and kidney failure.

"They tried a lot of interventions in the beginning to try and get her heart to recover, but it wasn't working, so they put her on the BerlinLVAD," said Ruth.

The device acts as an external heart that helps with the pumping so her own heart wouldn't be under so much stress. Normally, this device is used for those in heart failure, in need of a transplant.

"We really didn't want to do that with her. We hung on to a little bit of hope that her heart could recover on its own," Ruth said. Between medicine and interventions, McKinley's heart made improvements. Doctors reached out to colleagues across continents to learn how to wean McKinley off the device, something rarely done before, and never in Utah.

On August 27, the Santaquin Fire De-

McKinley Nilson partment gave McKinley a ride home on a fire truck to celebrating friends and family, including her three siblings.

The Nilson's really don't know what the future looks like for McKinley. "There are no statistics, we’re just hopeful that God has brought her this far and we feel like things will go on and she can live a healthy and happy life," said Ruth.

Ruth said her family has learned to have faith in miracles.

"Never give up hope on your child.

When medical and mathematic things don’t make sense, miracles make sense.

Miracles can happen."

Local beauty queen competes in national pageant

By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily SPANISH FORK — Ashlyn Jackman, a sophomore at Maple Mountain High School, competed at the National Miss Amazing pageant in Chicago in early August.

After fundraisers from Cowboy Donuts, Chik Fil A, Panda Express, and Wiggy Wash, as well as private donations, Ashlyn and her family made the trip.

Competing with thirty other young women in the junior teen category, Ashlyn participated in interviews, a talent show and an onstage presentation.

She also experienced dance and pajama parties, a movie night and a gala in which she received a Gold Service Award. She was also awarded a talent medal for a performance with her sister, Brooklyn.

But Ashlyn’s mother, Heidi, says the onstage evening wear portion was her favorite, even though Ashlyn very nearly missed it when their subway was delayed mid-trip after some sightseeing they’d done as a family. ”We had to run from the station to the hotel and then…run to hair and makeup.”

It was a group effort from the entire family, with various members scrambling to help her with food, dress and earrings, but they managed to make it on time.

Heidi recalls: “Her older brother, Cam-

GI

den…escorted her onto the stage. Her older sister, Brooklyn, volunteered as a buddy and helped her backstage. Out in the audience, her younger sister, Madilyn, was cheering so loudly for her. It was amazing to see Ashlyn's siblings support her!”

Ashlyn feels great about her performance, saying she “rocked” the interview.

She no longer feels self-conscious on stage, but instead played up her personality for the audience and judges.

Heidi says, “This experience has taught her that she can do anything and that will continue to help her in the future as she works towards her goals.”

One of her goals includes competing in the pageant again in two years. But for the rest of her reign as Utah’s Miss Amazing Junior Teen Queen, she will participate in monthly service activities and public appearances.

Heidi loves how confident this has made her daughter. “This pageant focuses on the abilities of each participant rather than their disabilities. Individuals with disabilities are like each of us. They have likes, dislikes, [as well as] the need to be loved, accepted and included.

Ashlyn has a bright future ahead of her.

She is on the cheer squad at Maple Mountain this year and will attend the Homecoming dance. After graduating from high school, she hopes to teach preschool or kindergarten.

A DNA success story

A brother's bond Three brothers from the Murillo Family.

Photo: My Story Matters

By Jacob Gossner for Serve Daily

By Ginny Ackerson for Serve Daily I was recently contacted by “Smitty” through Ancestry DNA. I had been tagged as his fourth cousin in his DNA results. He was asking for help to identify his birth parents as he had been adopted as an infant. He also mentioned that a man named “Jonesy” had been identified as his third cousin. Since Smitty and I are fourth cousins, I went back to my third great-grandparents to search for a possible connection. There are five generations from me to my third great-grandparents, so I needed to look in the fifth generation down from them to go through my fourth cousins to see if I could find Smitty or his mother in my database of over 80,000 relatives. Since everyone has 32 third great-grandparents, I felt I needed to narrow the field!

As it turns out, Jonesy is my second cousin, and as I was familiar with his pedigree, I was able to pinpoint the most likely grandparents to have had Smitty’s mother as a descendant. How did I do this? Since Smitty, Jonesy and I were related on my father’s side, I was able to eliminate my mother and Jonsey’s father’s lines. My paternal grandfather’s line was also eliminated as Jonesy and I are related on my father’s maternal line, leaving two couples in whose descendants I expected to find Smitty’s birth mother.

Smitty forwarded me information that the adoption agency gave him which was gathered at the time of his birth. There

were no actual dates or names, but these facts were revealed; His mother was Catholic and was 21 years old when he was born, her father was 50 when he died and her mother was of Italian descent and she had two siblings who died as children.

Since most of my family are Baptist and not Catholic, I printed out the descendants of both couples and used “control F” to find all references to “Catholic”. There was a reference to a Catholic cemetery attached to a lady whose maiden name was VERY Italian. She was married to a man who died at age 50. Their son and a daughter had died on the same day when a speeding car struck them both. These were indeed Smitty’s grandparents, and his mother was the child who survived.

She was 21 years old when Smitty was born.

SPRINGVILLE — My Story Matters recently completed a project at Westside Elementary in Springville, UT. We interviewed and photographed over 60 children of migrant workers attending summer school. Among the children who we interviewed at Westside were three brothers: Francisco, Luis and Marcos These three were inseparable as they went to have their pictures taken in various poses. Each of them seemed to have a favorite part - Francisco loved racing down the slide and shooting the soccer ball, Marcos loved trying to dunk the basketball, and Luis enjoyed showing off his muscles by doing push-ups on the playground. After their photos, all three of them needed to leave early from school, and so we returned to Westside a week later to interview them.

During the interviews, it became apparent that they were truly good friends.

I was lucky enough to get to interview Francisco, the youngest of the three.

Francisco loves to play with bubbles and enjoys games with his friends, especially hide and seek. He loves dinosaurs and wants to learn more about them as he grows older. During the interview, Francisco remarked that, "when I need help, Luis, my brother, helps me the most."

Later, when I asked who loves him the most, he proudly said "My brothers love me the most. They spend time with me."

I was touched by the closeness of these young brothers.

It is so easy to look at the difficulties in our modern world and become discouraged. But whenever I interact with these young children, I see so much potential, hope, and exuberance for life. The future is bright, not dark, for Francisco. Francisco said that his real-life hero is his dad. I would say that Francisco and his brothers are among my real-life heroes. I cannot wait to see how his life story unfolds as he courageously moves forward as the hero of his own story.

EDUCATION

A safe place to learn, lead and dream

By Kellie Chatfield for Serve Daily PROVO — Principal Jill Franklin and her students are looking forward to September 25, 2018, the day that My Story Matters will serve the sixth-grade students at Spring Creek Elementary!

Spring Creek Elementary School is a diverse school; 45% of its students learn English as a second language. It earned its designation as a National Title I Distinguished School by utilizing its Title I funds to catalyze outstanding student academic achievement and improvement.

The school and its students do this despite the economic situation of the students’ families -- 86% of students receive free or reduced-cost breakfast and lunch.

Principal Franklin consistently looks for ways to encourage and support her students and is excited about involving them in this My Story Matters event.

“The My Story Matters project is a perfect match for empowering the students that we nurture and teach. We will be doing this project with our sixth-grade students. They need to know that they have a story that is unique. They need to under-

stand that their years at Spring Creek and up to this point in their life have prepared them to continue their story. Our theme this year is College and Career Bound: I have done amazing things and my future is bright. We can't wait for our students to tell their stories. Their stories will change you.”

As we plan and prepare for this event we need volunteers. Volunteers work oneon-one with individual students to gather information about the students’ lives.

This interview information, along with professional photographs will create a custom storybook about the child’s life.

Once published, their storybook will be presented to the child for them to keep. If you are a photographer or someone that would like to interview remarkable sixth graders, please register at http://mystorymatters.info/volunteer/ Follow us on Facebook to view past events.

We are also collecting basic school supplies, backpacks, socks, and coats to help the many students who will come without them.

Every child has an important story to tell. Come be a part of their story.

Salem teacher awarded national grant for STEM kits in the classroom

By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily SALEM — The Society for Science and the Public distributed $100,000 in grants to 24 science research teachers across the nation to help teachers purchase needed equipment and amenities for their classrooms, including $3,000 to Kate Elliott, a sixth-grade teacher at Foothills Elementary School.

With the STEM grant money, Mrs. Elliott plans on purchasing DIY solar panel kits, global warming student kits and taking a trip to the Leonardo museum in Salt Lake City.

Mrs. Elliott has engaged students in many STEM projects including making “Scribble Bots”, waking up early to observe a super blue blood moon and making bridges out of newspaper.

With a focus on female and underrepresented ethnicities, Mrs. Elliott hopes to provide all students with opportunities to engage in STEM research that will help impact the future.

Mrs. Elliott said, "I was really looking for materials that would help our students understand the greenhouse effect and climate change and adaptation and so when I saw this grant I thought it was a great opportunity."

Although applying for grant money can be time-consuming and often challenging, Mrs. Elliott says it is worth every effort.

She reported that the best way to find grants is to participate in organizations like the FDA or the National Science Teachers Association and to make school administrators aware of your goal of finding grants.

Changing of the guard PAYSON — Changes have been happening at the Payson Santaquin Chamber of Commerce. The chamber recently moved to a new location (22 S. Main St. in Payson) to accommodate the growing chamber’s needs. They also updated their logo to show that the Payson and Santaquin Chambers of Commerce have truly become one.

The most recent change for the chamber was in the leadership. Shelly Thompson, who has been the Executive Director of the chamber for the last two years needed to step down as director. Shelly will still be working for the chamber in the office a few days a week so the transition of leadership will be smooth and seamless.

Andra is very excited to dive right in and continue the work of building the chamber’s brand and bringing awareness of what a chamber is and how not only businesses in the area but the community as well can bene-

Andra Cefalo fit from a Chamber of Commerce.

OREM — Every time Jessica Harper, the owner of Aspen Valley Counseling in Orem, got in her car, she knew she was going to miss the entrance of wherever she was going. So, without fail, a chorus of groans sounded off in the back seat of her silver VW bug as her children cried,“Not again!”

Harper isn’t the only person who has things she wants to work on. People from all over Utah county are doing neurofeedback therapy to improve their attention, anxiety, and brain injuries. After 20 sessions of neurofeedback therapy, Harper said she hasn’t missed a turn into an entrance. “It’s pretty amazing that neurofeedback—something so simple in practice—has helped me in such a day-to-day thing.”

In a typical neurofeedback session, a

neurofeedback technician places electrodes on a client’s head, and then the computer program creates images on the screen that represent the client’s brain waves. The client will see their own brain activity and learn to change it, which helps them learn to manage their emotions, thoughts, and performance.

Neurofeedback can help cases of anxiety, ADHD, insomnia, autism, test anxiety, and traumatic brain injury. Bree Noorda, a hairdresser in Utah County, just finished a round of 20 sessions and said it has really helped her regulate her emotions and manage her ADHD. “I can concentrate a million times better,” she said. “I wanted to do neurofeedback to help improve my concentration since I’m going back to school and actually want to be able to concentrate on my textbooks.”

SPANISH FORK — It was quite a celebration that was held for the groundbreaking for the construction of the new $150 million Spanish Fork Hospital on August 13, 2018.

Unlike any other major construction groundbreaking, the local dignitaries did not use shovels, they used mule and horsedrawn plows and scrapers. This was the idea of Wayne Anderson, former Mayor of Spanish Fork, and others, months ago when planning for the ceremony was first discussed. The idea was to reflect our pioneer and agricultural heritage.

The Intermountain Healthcare 30 bed community hospital has been more than 10 years in planning and financing. It is located on 45 acres northeast of WalMart at 765 E. Market Place Drive.

For the groundbreaking, a huge pavilion was set up for the hundreds of people that came to the event. After remarks from eight of the people involved in bringing this hospital to our community

Dr. Matt Finlinson performs and adjustment on Norman.

By Kjirstin Youngberg for Serve Daily MAPLETON — When he was in eighth grade, Matt Finlinsen started to get migraine headaches. He was only thirteen, and they grew progressively worse. He was given many types of medications, but by the time he was 21, they had ceased to work at all. One day, he went to visit his sister at work in her chiropractic office, and her employer offered to give him a free adjustment. "At that time, I didn't even know what a chiropractor was," said Dr. Finlinson. "Whatever he did, it stopped my migraines. I was in awe. I decided to become a chiropractor to help others."

After earning a BYU undergraduate degree, and a degree in human biology from the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon, Finlinson returned to BYU for his Master's Degree in Sports and Exercise Science. He is now a Doctor of Chiropractic and Master of Science (Chiropractic) with many skills to help those in pain.

Finlinson and his wife, Ashley, loved the area nestled up against the Sierra

Bonita Mountain and decided to make their home there. They have two girls and a boy, and like the small town feel of Mapleton. Since there was no chiropractic office, they decided to open one near the pharmacy along Highway 89. They named it Aspen Summit Chiropractic and hung out his shingle on May 7, 2018. He has seen many patients, including a family of five who were in a car crash, and others with spinal injuries and headaches.

They have had patients come from all over the valley.

Aspen Summit Chiropractic also has a massage therapist, Baylee Strum, and LmP and graduate of the Utah College of Massage Therapy.

The new office is located in the southwest corner of the two-story building behind Maple Mountain Pharmacy, at 726 South and 1600 West, Suite 101. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

On Friday, they are open from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Aspen Summit Chiropractic is closed on Saturday and Sunday. The phone number is 801-855-6767 and their email is drfinlinson@aspensummitchiro. com

SANTAQUIN — In August, the Payson Santaquin Chamber of Commerce congratulated a little known but much loved Santaquin business. On the edge of Santaquin’s south border lies Little Opee’s Produce and Sales. This business was voted as the Business of the Month for August. If anyone recently went to Payson Market and bought delicious strawberries at a great price, these were brought to you by Little Opee’s Produce.

In 2002, Kristi and Mark Openshaw recognized while marketing a large sweet cherry crop for multiple farmers that people love local fruit and ask for it in supermarkets. Realizing that supermarkets seek volume purchases to be

able to meet all their location’s needs and lower cost, Kristi and Mark formed Little Opee’s Produce.

Since then Little Opee’s Produce has grown. In order to provide Utahns with fresh produce year-round, Mark and Kristi began developing relationships with fruit and vegetable growers around the country and outside of the United States. Today, Little Opee’s still helps local Utah farmers sell their crops. However, Little Opee’s now brings fresh fruit and vegetables to Utah from California, Washington, Idaho, Texas and countries throughout Central and South America.

“Little Opee’s would like to thank all that have trusted and helped us grow to this point. Thank you for supporting us.

We live in such a wonderful state and in communities that help one another.”

Summer isn’t over: Mapleton Farmer’s Market

By Kjirstin Youngberg for Serve Daily

MAPLETON — Just because school has started again doesn’t mean it’s time to stop all of the outdoor fun! The Farmer’s Market in Mapleton continues in full swing until September 24. Families love to spend Monday nights letting the kids play on the swings or slides while adults listen to free live music and stroll through the market stalls.

This version of the market was begun two years ago by TJ and Jill Uriona of Alaitasun Farms. They have a Facebook page they keep up to inform everyone of the latest news. https//mapletonfarmersmarket.com/.

The idea of having the market at the same time as the Mapleton Music in the Park Series was started by Jill, and it has proved to be an excellent idea. People who come can listen and shop at the same time, picking up the freshest vegetables,

chocolate and other interesting things from the many Mapleton residents who sell there. Kids sell lemonade, handcrafted items and suckers. Adults sell farm fresh produce, live chicks or kitchen towels. Sometimes, residents even have extra puppies to hawk. There is also a dessert truck with sweet desserts to tempt the tastebuds.

Music and entertainment this year has included many bands, and featured open mic night on Labor Day, September 3.

The following Monday, September 10, will feature Morgan Cottom Band from 6:00 to 6:45 p.m., Rock Canyon Poets from 6:45 to 7:15, and Rober from the Bright Side will perform from 7:15 until 8:30, senset, or until the park is empty.

On September 17, ROADEE - Aubree Liz Shill will perform, and Local Bluegrass Band will close out the year on September 24.

Never before have you been drawn to the edge of your stadium seat by each contestant facing possible injury for such a good cause.

Rodeo bullfighting is what rodeo clowns do to protect a bull rider who has gotten bucked off and may be attacked by the bull if not distracted. That job has evolved into its own rodeo event now known as freestyle bullfighting.

It is a competitive event like all rodeo events with two judges each scoring the aggressiveness of the bull and the agility of the bullfighter, his ability to keep the attention of the bull, and his showmanship.

Gary Jones had been a well-known rodeo clown and bullfighter for 14 years, and in 1991 and 1992 was a National Finals Wrangler Bullfighter. He retired and moved to Payson to become a realtor with ReMax in Spanish Fork.

Then, the rodeo days called him again and he wanted to get back in the arena as a bullfighter.

Sculptor Alex Fuentes to speak about Balancing Work and Art SPRINGVILLE — The Springville Senior Center (65 E. 200 S.; 801-489-8738) is happy to host Alex Fuentes on Wednesday, October 3, at 6:00 p.m. He has titled his presentation "Alex Fuentes, Sculptor: Balancing Work and Art." The event is free and open to the public.

Mr. Fuentes was born in Provo, Utah.

After moving to Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, he began his apprenticeship with his father, Erasmo, at age 9. By age 14, he had sold over 100 of his own bronze sculptures. Between 1991 and 1996, in addition to sculpting his own pieces, he assisted on a number of his father's works, including monumental pieces commissioned by the Mexican government.

In 1996, at age 17, Alex returned to Provo to attend BYU. After 7 years of schooling, interrupted only by two years of missionary service in Portugal and Africa, he received his bachelor's degree and graduated from the BYU School of Law.

In 2003 Alex and Erasmo were honored at the inauguration of their new monument, "Anxiously Engaged," at the Provo Missionary Training Center. The monument was commissioned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to both honor and inspire missionaries.

In 2007 father and son were commissioned by the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers to create a monument to honor and remember those who settled Spanish Fork City, part of a project to restore a long-forgotten pioneer cemetery.

Since the beginning, Alex has demonstrated an ability to create that is surpassed only by his passion for sculpture.

His energy and talent make him one of the most sought-after sculptors today.

He continues to learn from his father as well as from his contemporaries and from masters from the past.

Alex, his wife, Ellen, and their three daughters reside in Mapleton.

After sailing through the first round, the Qualifiers, Andres and Charity knew they needed even better choreography and execution as they entered the Duels, the second round. Airing August 1, the duo chose to go head-to-head with competitor Vivian Ruiz. Each of the three judges on the show gave Charity and Andres a perfect 100 points.

Although Charity and Andres have been preparing for the show ever since they decided to partner up the day after the first episode of “World of Dance” season one, aired in the summer of 2017, they have worked together a lot longer than that. The couple won a preteen national championship as ballroom partners when they were twelve years old, but later went their separate ways when they decided to focus on different dance forms.

They are well matched, in part because they’ve been dancing together for so many years and have the same athletic quality to their movement. They do all of their own choreography.

Charity grew up in her mother, Tresa Anderson’s Springville dance studio, Charisma, and Andres’ mother owns the Legacy Dance Studio in Orem.

Tresa cites Charity’s athleticism as one reason she was “ahead of her time” as a child. “She did back handsprings at age three in the parents’ waiting room while I taught dance classes. She would watch

the dancers in the studio and then go home and try to do everything herself, so she has been largely self-taught.”

To audition for “World of Dance,” the pair was required to send in a video last fall. Thinking the deadline had already passed, but deciding to send in the video anyway to see what might happen, they received an email the next night saying they secured the one remaining opening to do a live audition in Los Angeles the following week.

A casting director told them from the moment she saw them in that live audition, she knew they were different and saw a special journey for them.

The next “interview,” filmed in Andres’ home, turned into a surprise announcement that they were on the show. The show loves their raw talent and that they are from a small town. During the first round of the show, they came and filmed in Springville.

Since the first round, Charity and Andres’ performances have had millions of views on YouTube, with widespread praise for the couple’s musicality, strength Andres Penate and Charity Anderson are competitors on NBC's "World of Dance." and compelling choreography.

On August 29, Charity and Andres, along with Jaxon Willard, a soloist from American Fork, advanced in the Junior divisional final (the fourth round of the competition) after they finished in the final three during The Cut. Time will tell how the season will play out, but Andres and Charity have been asked to go on the World of Dance tour.

They’ll live on a travel bus and perform in thirty shows all over the nation and Canada.

The duo, both 18 (they were 17 when the season started) have since been contacted by nearly every country’s Got Talent television show and will have a difficult time deciding which one to choose.

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily PAYSON — Several times a year, the Chairbound Sportsman Organization schedules a pheasant hunt for wheelchair bound folks. Before the pheasant hunt, it is helpful to practice shooting clay pidgins catapulted into the air. For several years now Fred Barber has been hosting such an event at his Payson Farm. Fred has a long history of helping wounded warriors and handicapped sportsmen and this is the story of a wonderful Saturday morning for six guys in wheelchairs.

After folks found their way to Fred’s farm west of Payson, there was a little socializing and then it was time to load up for the short trip to the field where the shooting practice would be held. Fred’s son was operating the farm tractor with a platform extending from the bucket at

the front of the tractor carefully lifting each wheelchair and participant to a flatbed trailer. Four men in their wheelchairs were towed by the tractor to a field where clay pidgins would be shot. A fifth hunter arrived late and drove directly to the field, where he positioned his wheelchair at the end of the trailer.

The shotguns were loaded and biodegradable “clay pidgins” were ready to be slung into the air for action targets. During the next two hours, hundreds of clay pidgins were launched and about half of them were shot down. Nobody was keeping score, it was just a matter of “ready, aim, shoot” and repeat. Then the trailer was towed back to Fred’s house and one by one everyone was offloaded. Fred had the grill fired up cooking hot dogs and hamburgers with all the trimmings. It was a great day for these folks who sometimes feel a bit handicapped in their passion for the outdoors and hunting.

Springville Family History Fair

By Ginney Ackerson for Serve Daily SPRINGVILLE — Mark your calendars for the Springville Family History Fair on Saturday, October 13, 2018, at the Hobble Creek Stake Center (495 S Canyon Dr, Springville) starting at 9 a.m. with keynote speaker journalist Todd Hansen from Story Trek. The theme is “Connecting Families; Past, Present and Future” and the fair is free to the public.

We have 28 classes for those who have beginning to intermediate research experience. Presentations include Polynesian, French, German, United States and British research, indexing classes focused on youth, busy people and Spanish speakers and anyone who wants to learn to index.

Learn how to organize your research, find out what’s new in FamilySearch and Ancestry, and how to use the sites most effectively.

We also have classes on research apps and the latest technology and programs.

Don’t forget the “Ask an Expert” one on one consultations, fabulous door prizes and a free scrumptious lunch!

Todd Hansen is a broadcast journalist and award-winning host of BYU-TV’s The Story Trek. He is president of TKH Productions. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Communications Studies from Brigham Young University and is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Hansen began his career as a reporter and anchor with a CBS affiliate in the Washington Tri-Cities area. He then took a job with Fox News in Salt Lake City,

where he reported news for ten years. He left when he grew weary of the negativity prevalent in the news.

While at Fox News, he pitched the idea to tell the story of an average person on the street and the result, nicknamed “Trippin’ with Todd,” was a regular Sunday night segment.

He wanted to produce more than one short segment so for the following five years he did consulting and freelance TV productions. When he learned that BYUTV was searching for a new series, he presented his idea of Story Trek, which is based upon Hansen’s belief that everyone has a story to tell.

Hansen and his crew travel throughout the United States and randomly knock on doors to find people who are willing to tell their life story on television. Each episode features three to five stories.

Most people initially say that they don’t have anything special to tell, but Hansen always finds their experiences compelling and conveys an uplifting message to his viewers.

The Story Trek reaches approximately 60 million households across the country.

Hansen was presented with an Emmy as producer and host of The Story Trek during the 2012 Rocky Mountain Emmy Awards in Phoenix, Arizona. The show has won five Emmy's in the last two years.

Hansen and his wife have four daughters and live in Highland, Utah.

The love of a family is life’s greatest blessing.

Carver Louis to entertain Jekyll & Hyde, a fabulous live musical in Sunday Concert Series

Springville Playhouse's Jekyll & Hyde.

By Janice Helmick for Serve Daily SPRINGVILLE —Springville Playhouse is presenting the musical version of Jekyll and Hyde for its fall 2018 performance. The cast is extremely talented, both in their speaking parts, but especially in the musical performances.

The play will run on Friday, Saturday, and Monday nights, August 24, 25, 27, 31, September 1, 3, 7, 8, 10, 14 and 15 at Merit Academy, 1440 W. Center Street, Springville, Utah. Doors open at 7 and the show starts at 7:30 for the two hour production. The entire cast is extremely talented but Bob Bauer as Jekyll/Hyde, and his wife, Kristin Bauer as Emma Carew bring the love story to life. Danvers Carew, Emma’s father, is played by Craig Gardner.

The musical is adapted from the gothic novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, which was first published in 1886. It is set in London and tells the story of strange events in the life of Dr. Henry Jekyll and the evil Edward Hyde. Hyde is the side of Jekyll’s personality which he keeps hidden; hence, Hyde is the perfect name for this character.

Ed and I were privileged to be an audience of two during a recent dress rehearsal. I found myself on the edge of my seat more than once, and yet I found myself laughing at other times. Jekyll and Hyde is the perfect end to the summer season for Springville Playhouse. Gather your friends and enjoy the remarkable performances of the cast of this live theater production.

Tickets can be purchased at the door or online for $12 general admission and $10 for students and seniors. This play may not be appropriate for children under 13 years of age.

Delectable Dining

The Sunglow Cafe

Home-style deliciousness with huge portions me of fall and taste delicious with a hot drink or a big glass of milk.

And they have shakes. As in creamy ice cream deliciousness. My surprise favorite was the fried ice cream shake. Think cinnamon and sugar and that nice crunch of cream in a shake. My absolute favorite shake is banana cream pie. This one was full of bananas and just yummy. My kids fell in love with the birthday cake shake with sprinkles all over the rim. And it actually tasted like birthday cake.

I’ve pretty much fallen in love with this restaurant. It is located at 80 West 1000 North, Spanish Fork. It is in the same parking lot as ShopKo where the Amber’s Restaurant used to be. They are open every day. Monday to Thursday they are open from 6:30 am to 9 pm. Fridays and Saturdays they are open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays they are open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Fried Ice Cream Shake: Like the Original But Better.

By Amy Baird for Serve Daily I write for a living. No, really. I am a writer. In addition to this job, I have written proposals, infomercial scripts, articles, poetry, etc. I love to write and express myself through words. I am struggling to explain how much I adore Sunglow Restaurant. The server. The chile verde. The pickle pie. The “glow burger” with peanut butter, yes I just said peanut butter. I love that it is a family-owned restaurant and the staff AMAZING. So friendly and kind. But most importantly, I love the food. When we sat down to order it took us probably 10 minutes to choose.

So many of the options looked yummy.

They have these amazing breakfasts with skillets, omelets, pancakes, etc and they are served ALL day. Then they have lunch items like sandwiches, not your typical deli sandwiches, but Monte Cristos (think Blue Bayou at Disneyland) or a Santa Fe melt with chicken, sautéed onions, mushrooms, green chilies, and cheese on toasted sourdough. Big delicious burgers (more about that later).

Plus, they have dinner items like steak, chicken cordon bleu, and Salisbury steak.

And I forgot to mention that the portions are HUGE. You could easily share them and leave perfectly satisfied.

We all ordered and I quickly found my favorite. Can you say chile verde?

From now on I want everything I eat to be smothered in chile verde. It is delicious. I was nervous because I am a wimp when it comes to spicy. If it is spicy, I feel like I can’t breathe. I have the whole flames shooting out of my mouth, sweaty forehead, and gasping for breath thing.

But this chile verde has a gentle heat (virtually non-existent) combined with this delicious, spicy flavor. It is a little bit addictive. So I was happy that our party had ordered both the chile verde Navajo taco AND the child verde skillet. I couldn’t get enough of that sauce and yummy

The Sunglow Cafe’s Chile Verde Navajo Taco pork. They also have chile verde burritos, chimichangas, nachos, etc. I think I will have to return to try every possible incarnation of chile verde. It is that good.

Breakfast. One of my favorite meals.

In addition to your traditional pancakes, eggs, and bacon (by the way they have REALLY good thick cut, peppered bacon), they have skillets, scrambles, a chile verde breakfast burrito (mmm) and eggs benedict. I got the backwoods benedict and it was made with scones, a nice slab of ham steak, eggs, and the yummy sauce. The breakfast potatoes were thin sliced and delicious. Homemade goodness.

Burgers are classic. But they take it to another level. Let’s talk about the Glow burger. So this is the burger that has peanut butter I mentioned at the beginning.

They described it at first and I was like, no way am I trying it. Our waitress said it sounds bizarre but it yummy. So I had to try it. We had already eaten dessert and

TO ADVERTISE IN SERVE DAILY CALL 801-477-6845

were stuffed with food but I had to try a bite. So they made us one. Here is what is on it. Ready for this?

Peanut butter, sautéed onions, pickles, balsamic, pork belly, and ham. I know.

Sounds really strange. But it is DELICIOUS. It combines this rich peanut butter flavor with the salty ham and then the sautéed onions give it a nice rich flavor and a bit of sweet, then you add in the pickles. You guys. This is amazing. You have to come try it. Or at least come with a group of friends and share one. It is unbelievable.

Dessert. This is what I love about Sunglow. Sunglow is actually the same restaurant as the one in Bicknell. I am a big fan of Capitol Reef National Park so I have been to Bicknell a few times. When I heard about the unique pies, I knew that I had to try them. They have pickle pie, buttermilk pie, oatmeal pie, and pinto bean pie. The pies all have a rich flavor similar to a pumpkin pie. They remind

THE FUNNYISH FILES

How did we survive without our phones?

By Joe Capell for Serve Daily

The other day I did something unbelievably amazing. I wandered into the bathroom and sat down on the toilet before I realized: I DIDN'T HAVE MY PHONE WITH ME! Yes, that's right, I actually went to the bathroom WITHOUT MY PHONE! I know, it's incredible, isn't it? Those may have been the longest two minutes of my life. But, somehow, I was able to get through it. I was able to sit there WITHOUT my phone, unable to check my messages, catch up on the latest scores, or play any games.

So, what did I do? I just sat there. I sat there and thought about a few things.

What did I think about? I thought about how I would never step into the bathroom without my phone again!

I'm joking, of course. (Mostly.) We've become so dependent on our cell phones that we sometimes forget the things we used to be able to do without them.

There was a time, not so long ago, when if you wanted to find out the score of a game, you'd have to turn on your television to ESPN and wait through some highlights on SportsCenter until they'd get to your game.

Or, you'd have to watch the local ten o'clock news and hope that the sportscaster would read the score of the game in which you were interested. Or, you might even have to WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT DAY and find the score in the newspaper!

(Umm...Grover Fillmore? Cleveland Harrison? George Harrison?)

And, there was a time, not so long ago, when if you went to the bathroom you had to just sit there and look at the designs in the linoleum floor. (How did we ever manage to survive?)

Payson Community Theater presents Mary Poppins

By De Hill for Serve Daily PAYSON — “With every job when it’s complete, there is a sense of bittersweet, that moment when you know the task is done.” And so comes that point with Payson Community Theater. The cast of Mary Poppins worked hard memorizing music, script and dance routines to produce a fantastic production in conjunction with Payson Onion Days Celebration!

The fruits of their job were presented to the public on August 23, and run the 24, 25, 27, 30, 31, September 1, and closed Labor Day, September 3 at Payson High School.

Colton and Avonlea Simons starred in the parts of Bert and Mary Poppins, re-

spectively. They have both been involved in prior PCT productions, and are excited to be sharing these roles for your enjoyment.

Ben Spencer and Carson Center, new to PCT this year, played the parts of George and Winifred Banks. Their talents were equally welcome to the PCT stage.

The Banks family roles were completed with Gracie Morton, playing Jane, and Nolan Larsen, presenting Michael. The Banks children are spoiled little ones until Mary Poppins enters to change their lives, as well as that of their parents, George and Winifred.

Audiences had a Supercalifragilistic experience, as Payson Community Theater presented the Broadway Musical, Mary Poppins.

PAYSON — The season of spectacular fall colors in our mountains and valleys will soon be here in glorious red, yellow, and orange. One of the best areas for viewing fall colors in Utah, and in fact, one of the best fall color drives in the entire United States is the Nebo Loop road between Payson and Nephi.

This is a paved road in Uinta National Forest that climbs to over 9,000 feet with awesome views in several places of Utah Lake and the valley below. This road also provides great views of 11, 928 foot Mount Nebo, the tallest mountain in the Wasatch Range.

You may want to drive this road several times as the colors change from the lower elevations to the higher elevations.

What local people commonly call the “Nebo Loop Road” is officially Forest Road 015. The two-lane road is about 40 miles of winding mountainous driving between Payson and Nephi.

From Nephi, take I-15 Exit 225 and travel east on Utah Route 132 for about 5 miles and turn left on FR 015.

From Payson, take I-15 Exit 248 heading east on 800 South. Turn right onto 600 East, which becomes FR 015.

In the fall, the road has heavy traffic, and some of the most spectacular displays
