Wildfires domintate September days By Kjirstin Youngberg for Serve Daily Fires that have changed our green mountains to blackened cinders are anticipated to be controlled, if not out, by the first week in October. Rain is forecast for Monday October 1, with snow in the higher elevations by Thursday. Firefighters from as far as Rhode Island have joined our local teams to stop the Bald Mountain and Pole Creek fires, both started by lightening strikes in early September. As of this writing, these fires have consumed more than 120,000 acres of some of the finest

evergreens our mountains boast. Thousands of people in the communities of Elk Ridge, Woodland Hills, the Covered Bridge Canyon Community and Spanish Fork Canyon were evacuated for several days as crews from across the west battled the blaze alongside local firefighters. Air quality became poor in the surrounding communities forcing many residents inside and sporting events to other venues. For the latest updates on the fires, visite www.inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/6199.

Pole Creek and Bald Mountain fires bring out the best in the community Hardship brings people together By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily Nothing brings communities together like a tragedy. The fires in Utah and Juab counties—the Pole Creek and Bald Mountain fires—have been blazing since September 6. The combined number of acres burned has been estimated at over 120,000. Over one thousand firefighters from thirty-seven states have engaged in the effort. Thousands of people were evacuated from their homes. Certainly the very definition of a tragedy. But the entire area has seen an outpouring of help from people of every age and walk of life. School children have written cards and letters of support to not only the person-

nel fighting the fires, but to kids their age in Elk Ridge and Woodland Hills who were evacuated and displaced. Ranchers whose cattle had to be relocated due to their proximity to the fires have, in turn, spent days helping others relocate their cattle. It’s been a massive group undertaking. Hundreds of people have taken to social media to offer their homes to family and strangers alike. But perhaps most telling of community support has been the almost excessive giving of donations. On September 14, news outlets and social media pages posted lists of needed donations. Less than two days later, Lieutenant Governor Spencer Cox sent out a tweet giving his sincere gratitude for the overabundance Photo: Kjirstin Youngberg of supplies and offers to help. 5 Posters at the firefighters base camp show the overwhelming community support offered firefighters.

Pole Creek Fire Heliport By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily The Spanish Fork Airport played a major role in fighting and controlling the Pole Creek and Bald Mountain fires. You may have seen and heard the helicopters coming and going from our local airport. When the airport manager, Cris Child, was asked about the forest fire fighting activity at the airport he provided the following comments. "It has been an amazing thing to watch as these incredible machines take on the job of battling the immense fires. We had to completely clear the ramp area of aircraft to make room for the big helicopters. The 80 mile an hour downwash from some of these birds as they take off could flip a typical airplane upside down. We have had hundreds of support personnel stationed at the airport, thousands of gallons of jet fuel being hauled into the airport daily and tents scattered across our lawn areas. We mowed down the weeds and stationed the biggest helicopters on the old abandoned crosswind runway. When that area filled up Brandon Wilson took his bulldozer and cleared a spot on

the fill dirt out by Main Street so that we could position a 3rd Sky Crane helicopter out there. At one time we had 3 Sky Cranes, a Chinook, several Huey’s, an A-Star and a Forest Service Cobra with infrared cameras mapping the fire as well as many smaller helicopters. The sign they put up at the Airport gate read "Pole Creek Fire Heliport.” "At times I thought I was in an episode of MASH as I listened to the thump, thump, thump of the helicopter blades descending into the Airport. The FAA sent in a temporary control tower and all of a sudden we became as regimented as Salt Lake International Airport in our approaches and departures which was fun to listen to but also a great confidence builder in that we would be able to handle all the traffic safely. The community support has been incredible. On a regular basis, we have seen local restaurants bring dinner to the crews. Cases of fruit and cookies just kept appearing even a hundred or so ice cream bars in a cooler with dry ice was delivered and was a huge hit with those working here. The professionalism and expertise of the crews has been amazing. It is a big relief to hear that the fires are coming under control and soon our

Spanish Fork woman opens home and her heart during fires By Christine Hogge for Serve Daily

When the Utah fires struck this summer, Nicole Boothe knew she wanted to do something to help but didn’t know what. Then she had an idea, she’d offer her property as a sanctuary for animals in harm’s way. Boothe lives on a one-acre lot in Spanish Fork. Along with her young children, she cares for 3 goats, 18 chickens, 2 turkeys, 5 ducks and 3 dogs. When the fires started, she offered her extra space on the Spanish Fork Community News Facebook Page. Soon after, families started bringing her all of their farm animals that they were unable to take with them in the evacuations. Her already full home quickly became even more crowded. She received 14 goats, 20 chickens and 2 ducks, bringing the grand total to 64; and Nicole Boothe couldn’t be happier. “I have always been an animal lover since I was little. I dreamed about having 3 top

His tweet asked people to stop donating. Considering the sheer volume of items being dropped off, the community’s contributions were actually causing more logistical problems than help at that point. Amber Savage, executive director of the American Red Cross of Central and Southern Utah was “overwhelmed” with the number of donations received at the Nebo School District Central Warehouse in Salem. “Without asking, stuff will come, so we try to say, ‘If you’re going to bring stuff, please bring this stuff,’” Savage says of what often happens in this area during a natural disaster. Although physical donations are no longer needed, those of the monetary variety are always appreciated. “Cash is 3 bottom

Arrangements were made for the crew to come in and on Saturday night Culver's fed an entire crew of 125 firefighters in 2 shifts. "They were grateful and it was our pleasure to do it," Hedin said. The Pole Creek and Bald Mountain fires have combined to eat up over 90,000 acres so far in the wilderness bordering

a sanctuary someday.” While to some the massive onslaught of animals might seem overwhelming, Booth hasn’t reached her max yet. “It doesn’t feel like a chore to me, it’s just something I like to do,” said Boothe. She believes she is capable of handling even more goats and chickens. Unfortunately, her acre isn’t equipped to handle larger animals like horses or cows. Though she does hope to someday have these animals included in the mix. The animals all come from strangers, and are welcome to stay as long as they need. In fact, she wouldn’t mind if they just all stayed forever. Boothe is passing along her love of animals to her family as well. While her youngest child is only two and a half, she loves to participate in the farm. Often the animals are the first thing she talks about in the morning. This busy mom also works as a graphic designer for another animal sanctuary that mostly rescues dogs and cats. However, having these animals on her property doesn’t crowd out her already busy

Thankfully, evacuations have been lifted and most people have returned home. “I don’t want to say we can take a breath,” Savage says. “But, thanks to the efforts of the firefighters, I think we all can take a breath.” The American Red Cross is now back in preparedness mode. Since donations of physical items are no longer needed, Savage’s call to action is to encourage everyone to “review preparedness plans with families. Check your 72-hour kits. Make sure crucial phone numbers are memorized.” Above all, being prepared for a disaster of this kind requires partnership on every level, something the people of Utah and Juab counties know quite a lot about. South Utah County. It has forced the evacuation of more than 2,000 homes, affecting about 6,000 people. Hedin said he's grateful for those working hard to save homes and cabins. "These guys are up there working long hard hours. It's hot. It's smoky. And some of these guy's are volunteers," Hedin said. "We just wanted to show support in the community."

Veteran re-awarded bronze star after theft By Kjirstin Youngberg for Serve Daily PAYSON — An American hero was honored with a Bronze Star Medal at a ceremony at the Bennion Veteran's Home in Payson. His bronze star was stolen in a Mona home burglary, along with his Purple Heart. The Purple Heart was later recovered by police. PFC Edward Newton, on 16 October 1969, earned the Bronze Star Medal with a "V" for Valor for gallantry in action while with the 82nd Airborne in Binh Duong province, Vietnam. PFC Newton and his division received sudden, direct enemy fire. A medic was shot, and another medic came to his aid, but the IV containing life-sustaining fluid was unable to go high enough due to enemy fire. PFC Newton picked up the bottle and held it aloft, continuing to hold it even after sustaining a rifle shot to his shoulder. He then got his rifle and covered others, allowing them to get to safety.

The Newton family has lived and farmed in Mona, Utah for many generations. When Ed returned from Vietnam in 1971 "fresh out of the army, I snatched him right up," said Brenda, his wife of 47 years. "He got out in March, and we were married the 2nd of April." Prior to his US Army service, Ed served a twoyear mission to the North Atlantic States. Ed worked at the Tooele Army Depot as a crane operator and also worked at Nephi Sandstone as a landscaper. He has now retired to the family farm in Mona. Ed and Brenda have five children, all of whom live in Mona with their children and grandchildren. The official military citation said,” PFC Newton distinguished himself by gallantry in action while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an armed hostile force in Binh Duong Province in the Republic of Vietnam on 16 October 1969 while serving as a rifleman in Company B, 1st Battalion, 505th Infantry, 3rd brigade, 82nd Airborne Division, APO

As he took cover and began to return fire, PFC Newton saw his platoon leader and medic fall under intense enemy fire. As another medic approached the fallen menPFC Newton ran forward and began to place effective fire on the enemy position enabling the medic to administer aid with an albumin bottle. However, the enemy fire prevented the medic from elevating the bottle sufficiently to benefit the wounded. Without regard for his own safety, PFC Newton ran back to the wounded and, while standing in a hail of enemy bullets, held the albumin bottle aloft. He immediately suffered a grievous

neck wound and, although forced to his knees, refused to lower the bottle of the lifesaving fluid. When the second medic was wounded and extrication of all the wounded was feasible, PFC Newton picked up his rifle and covered the retreat of his comrades. Although in excruciating pain himself, PFC Newton refused aid as he withdrew to safety, demanding the aid be given to others. He moved under his own power to the waiting medevac helicopter. PFC Newton’s courage, devotion to duty and concern for his fellow soldiers were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and truly reflect the greatest credit upon himself, his unit and the United States Army.”

80-year-old basketball player collecting gold By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily SPANISH FORK — Not many athletes can boast of a gold medal count in the 40s, but even more impressive than Lyle Timmons medal count is his age. At 88 years old, Timmons is hoping to add to his medal count this October at the Huntsman Senior Games in St. George. He will be playing with the Utah Pioneers basketball team out of Spanish Fork. "We get the gold every year!" Timmons said.The Utah Pioneers is made up of players from Spanish Fork, Payson and Lehi, all in their 80s. "Our division is 80 to 85 so I play down with the young guys," Timmons jokes. The team also competes in senior games in Pasadena, Pocatello and Elko. Timmons has been playing basketball since he was a young teen. He started at the Robinson Intermediate School in Wichita, Kansas. He went on to play for Andover High School and as a point guard at Wichita State University. When he first started, Timmons said he was the last man on the bench because he had never played with a team before. He

built his own backboard and rim in his yard to shoot baskets. He made his own ball, too. "I had an old basketball that was flat, so I took the bladder out of a football, put it in the basketball covering and laced with up with a shoelace." "But by the end of the year, I could outshoot all the starters because I practiced 3 or 4 hours a day." He is still one of the best shooters around and regularly wins shootouts, free throw, three point and hot shot competitions against much younger men -- still in their 50s. He wins gold in every event. One goal that has eluded him is making 25 free throws in a row. "I've got 24 or 23, but can't quite get that perfect score," he said. Timmons loves sports and also plays on a softball team. He and his wife, Jeanne, live in Spanish Fork. The couple has 8 children. His kids, grandkid and great-grandkids all have come to watch him play and he's passed the love of sports down to the next generation. He sees himself continuing to play basketball. "You bet. Even in the far future," he said. "I'm hoping to be able to shoot free throws when I'm 100."

Grandma’s can be heroes By Lexi Vaughn for Serve Daily SPRINGVILLE — My Story Matters recently had the chance to interview and celebrate the stories of several students at a local elementary school. While there I got to interview Heather is a fun-loving and active girl who loves to play volleyball and basketball and loves to go hiking. At only 11 years old, Heather has developed a strong and close relationship with her grandmother. When asked who her real-life hero is, Heather replied, “My grandmother. I want to be like her because if she wants something, she'll go out and get it. When I'm with her, I try to do what she does and I will try as hard as I can, no matter how hard the task. I think she is that way because she learned from her mother that she should push herself, even though she didn't necessarily want to do it.” Throughout her interview, Heather shares many experiences of her family members and how they have helped her in her life.

Utah County Jail Prepares Inmates for Life Outside Prison By Christine Hogge for Serve Daily From gardening to construction and everything in between, Utah County Jail programs are helping inmates better integrate with the community one class at a time. When an inmate leaves prison, they have immediate challenges they have to overcome. Lack of money, extra fees and limited employment all make it difficult to get back into a healthy, normal life. To combat this, the Utah County Jail has instituted multiple different work programs. “If they have good behavior then they have lots of opportunities open up for them,” said Chief Deputy Matthew Higley. One of these opportunities includes working in the jail kitchen and learning new skills. At the jail, there is a paid kitchen staff with certified chefs. Together with the inmates, this kitchen produces about a million meals every year. These meals are used for Meals on Wheels to benefit the senior citizens in the area. While the staff is there to help out, a majority of the work is done by the inmate kitchen crew. There is also a program designed to teach the inmates how to garden. They produce thousands of pounds of vegetables that are then used for Meals on Wheels and donated to the Food and Care Coalition. These programs and many more like them save the taxpayer money. However, Chief Deputy Higley sees a higher purpose in them. “We hope to get them on their feet so they don’t come back. We want them to feel like they have worth and we want

Participants in the Utah County Jail gardening program. them to have the confidence in themselves and their abilities so that they can change their life and live a productive life.” Each program is designed to give the inmate skills that they can use in the real world. They also earn a stipend, which can then be used to pay court fees and other necessary expenses at the time of release.

“We’re giving them the opportunity to succeed when they’re released from jail,” said Chief Deputy Higley. While programs like these are seen all across the United States, Higley mentioned one program no other jail in the country has. It’s called the Jail Industries Program. This program allows the best behaved and responsible inmates to leave the prison during the working day and do con-

tracted work for companies. Many times at the end of their sentence, these inmates will leave with a job offer from the companies they worked with in the program. This fresh start has proven effective in helping inmates stay out of jail and lead productive and healthy lives in the community “They can succeed if they really want to,” said Chief Deputy Higley. And with these programs they do. Kitchen workers in the Utah County Jail.

THOUGHTS ON ZION

LDS leaders speak on Zion's timing A statue of LDS prophet Joseph Smith.

By Jesse Fisher for Serve Daily There are several statements by members of the Seventy and by one apostle that all indicate that Zion is to be built by the Saints before Christ returns. Here is one: "The establishment of Zion should be the aim of every member of this Church…. Latter-day Saints conscientiously strive to bring forth Zion... preparatory to the Lord’s Second Coming." (Elder Keith B. McMullin, October 2002 General Conference). What have our modern prophets said about this? "We ought to have the building up of Zion as our greatest object." - Joseph Smith, Jr., Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p.186 "If we are to build that Zion of which the prophets have spoken and of which the Lord has given mighty promise, we must set aside our consuming selfishness. We must rise above our love for comfort and ease...." - President Spencer W. Kimball, October 1991 General Conference "My dear brethren and sisters, we must prepare to redeem Zion. It was essentially the sin of pride that kept us from establishing Zion in the days of the

Prophet Joseph Smith. It was the same sin of pride that brought consecration to an end among the Nephites.” (See 4 Ne. 1:24–25.) "Pride is the great stumbling block to Zion. I repeat: Pride is the great stumbling block to Zion...We must cleanse the inner vessel by conquering pride. (See Alma 6:2–4; Matt. 23:25–26.)" - President Ezra Taft Benson, April 1989 General Conference. "I need not remind you that this cause in which we are engaged is not an ordinary cause. It is the cause of Christ. It is the kingdom of God our Eternal Father. It is the building of Zion on the earth, the fulfillment of prophecy given of old and of a vision revealed in this dispensation." - President Gordon B. Hinckley, October 1989 General Conference. From these statements we learn that as members of the kingdom of God, it should be our primary goal to build up Zion in fulfillment of prophecy, and to do that, we must first overcome our pride, selfishness, and our love for comfort and ease. It can also be argued that until we comprehend what Zion is, and what it is not, we will have no idea where to begin. For this reason, the next articles in this series will include a contrast of Zion and its opposite, Babylon.

Blackhawk Memorial By LaRon Taylor for Serve Daily The Mt. Nebo Chapter of the Sons of Utah Pioneers, along with their wives, enjoyed a wonderful dinner meeting this past month. The dinner was excellent, and it was followed by a presentation on Blackhawk. Our own Ron Zeeman related his personal involvement in the Blackhawk grave memorial. It all began with some local miners exhuming Blackhawk’s grave and then displaying his remains at the Spanish Fork Coop. From there, his remains were sent to the Assembly Hall museum on Temple Square and on display for some time. The body was removed and presumed lost for many years. Ron remembered seeing Blackhawks remains there on display as a little boy and inquired if Blackhawks remains were still in the possession of the church, but was told they didn’t know of his whereabouts. Some years later, a local Boy Scout who was working on his Eagle Project asked Ron where his research left off and with that information and a call found Blackhawk’s remains. Because of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, Ron contacted the Ute reservation and received approval from the Mountain Family (Blackhawk’s relatives through his brother, Mountain) to memorialize Blackhawk. He was given a proper reburial in

The Blackhawk memorial in Spring Lake, Utah. a wooden casket that George Brinkerhoff ¬(another of our chapter members) built for that purpose. The memorial is located in Spring Lake, Utah near the shore of that lake. Ron also displayed a rubber mold he had made of Blackhawk’s skull before his remains were re-buried. With modern forensic technology, it is possible to sculpt and recreate a close resemblance of what Blackhawk might have looked like. The meetings are held monthly (usually on the fourth Thursday) and those wishing to join the organization no longer have to be direct descendants from Pioneers.

Merit Academy students participating at Tuesdays event.

By Lexi Vaughn & Amy Chandler for Serve Daily Early Tuesday morning Sept 25, 2018, the sixth-grade students of Spring Creek Elementary School buzzed with excitement as they anxiously awaited their turn to participate in My Story Matters’ “My Path” event. Over the course of the event, 65 students enjoyed the spotlight as stars in their very own photo shoots where our talented volunteer photographers captured the students’ bright faces and unique personalities in a variety of settings. As the sixth-graders completed their personal photo sessions, they made their way to a room with over 30 outstanding volunteers, including many youth volunteers from Merit Academy, who were instrumental in the success of the event. These volunteers dedicated several hours of their day to personally interview each of the students. The interviews allowed students to talk about their life experiences with questions ranging from their favorite colors and activities to how they have overcome challenges in their young lives. My Story Matters loves partnering with local high school service groups &

English classes to help make a difference in our community. For this project, we partnered with Merit College Preparatory Academy in Springville, UT. Over the past couple of years, they have been instrumental in preparing many of our storybooks for print. Their teacher, Lorena Moody, asked that her students be given the opportunity to not only continue creating the storybooks but also to come experience the actual event in interviewing the children. Lorena Moody, faculty at Merit High School commented, “It was a wonderful opportunity for me and my students to participate in these field trips to help My Story Matters. It's a great opportunity for our students to sit down with another student and expand their empathy and understanding to lots of different demographics. We all walk away better for having participated." We have been very impressed with the students of Merit Academy and greatly appreciate the ways in which they continue to serve and help the children and families of My Story Matters. If you're involved with a high school group looking for a fantastic service opportunity in 2019 reach out and let us know questions@mystorymatters.org.

Nebo high school athletes are inspired to make a difference By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily

Especially for Athletes (E4A) is a foundation started by Dustin Smith with the purpose of inspiring young athletes to make a difference in the lives of others. High school student-athletes traditionally receive more attention for their successes than other extra-curricular programs. This is what Dustin Smith calls the “Sportlight”. The special position athletes have with the “Sportlight” gives them the unique opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others. Dustin Smith started Especially for Athletes about seven years ago with the hope of using the attention that athletes get in the community to create more positive cultures in schools. When Dustin started the foundation, he had a family member who was being bullied, knew some kids that had committed suicide, and was aware of some parents who were hurting because of what their kids were experiencing at school. “Athletes are able to do a lot more good that just entertain us on a Friday night,” Dustin said. Dustin used his position as an athletic coach and “gathered other coaches and other leaders around the state to form this message for everybody, but especially for the athletes.” Dustin presents upwards of fifty assemblies throughout the school year to young athletes across the valley. When Especially for Athletes started about seven years ago, Maple Mountain High School in Nebo School District was one of the first institutes to get on board with the idea. Dave Boyack, Athletic Director at Maple Mountain High School, says that since partnering with the foundation, “athletes are looking out for kids that need a friend [and for] kids that are sitting alone at the lunch table. [Athletes] are doing more than just playing sports, they are learning life-long skills to serve rather than just play.” Dustin passes out athletic wristbands with the phrase, “Eyes Up-Do the Work.” This wristband has proven to be motivational for student-athletes to keep their eyes focused on others’ needs. Upon the conclusion of the assembly, Dave Boyack selects a group of students

to create a leadership committee who will meet with him once a month about Especially for Athletes. DeAnn Nielsen, Principal at Maple Mountain High School, said the principles taught during the Especially for Athletes assembly are a great reminder for everyone. “Students have a lot on their plate,” she said. “The way we are all going to find happiness is by serving others and looking outside of ourselves.” Kacey Melton, a member of the drill team at Maple Mountain High School, said, “I love this assembly because I feel like it is super motivating for athletes and it really makes you realize how grateful you are for the opportunity to participate in sports. Everyone is going to have hard days in their sport and in life, but just keep your eyes up and do the work.” Bradley Weston, a tennis player at Maple Mountain High School, said the assembly makes him aware that there are kids struggling in the school. It is important to “have your eyes up and actually implement what you learn.” Maple Mountain High School implements many service projects throughout the year. During the spring, Maple Mountain hosts Nebo School District’s annual Super Start Track and Field Day, where students with special needs participate in track and field events. Dave Boyack said, “This track and field day is a great opportunity for the students at Maple Mountain High physical education classes and athletics to serve these incredible kids in Nebo School District.”

Principal Chad Argyle 2018 Nebo employee Patty national distinguished principal Maloy given state honor By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily

Chad Argyle, former Principal at Santaquin Elementary School and current Principle at Apple Valley Elementary School in Nebo School District, was named Utah’s 2018 National Distinguished Principal by the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) in May, 2018. The National Distinguished Principals program honors outstanding elementary and middle-level principals who set high standards of achievement, instruction and collaboration for the students, families and employees in their learning communities. When Mr. Argyle began as the administrator at Santaquin Elementary School in 2009, it was the fourth highest poverty Title 1 school in Nebo School District. There were no after-school programs, no parent-teacher involvement plans to enhance student learning, a lack of positivity toward student growth, and low-quality Tier 1 instruction. By the end of Mr. Argyle’s service at Santaquin Elementary, however, students’ end of level test scores increased dramatically, students reading on grade level increased by nearly 30 percent, a positive spirit focused on student success permeated the school, and Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 instruction were effectively implemented to impact student success. To create a positive collaborative culture at Santaquin Elementary, Mr. Argyle met with nearly one hundred teachers, parents, community members and district staff members at the beginning of his job, seeking their input for improvement. With an understanding of the needs of individuals in the learning community, Mr. Argyle carried out team-building activities among teachers to highlight each teacher’s strengths and skills. Mr. Argyle often met individually with teachers to listen to their needs and concerns. Mr. Argyle ensures that each staff member is included in social gatherings several times a year to get to know each other better. Through strengthening relationships among colleagues, staff members effectively combined their talents in a monumental effort to meet student needs and facilitate growth.

Chad Argyle (left) Mr. Argyle often reminds his whole staff that no intervention can compensate for poor teaching. By the second year of Mr. Argyle’s job, every teacher and paraprofessional had attended at least one in-service training at the national, state, or district level to improve teacher instruction. Mr. Argyle attended almost every training session with the teachers to improve his own skills as an educator. In addition, Mr. Argyle offers specialized training in technical skills needed to influence change in self and others to help achieve student success. A goal for Santaquin Elementary is that all students complete sixth-grade with the skills necessary to complete junior high, high school, and continue on to additional education after high school. Teachers meet at the beginning of each year to assess the academic, behavioral, emotional and social skill levels of each student based on the previous year. Goals are set and progress is noted for each student during the coming year while teachers work collaboratively to help each student succeed. Mr. Argyle said, “Every decision I make as a school administrator is based upon that which has the greatest impact on student learning.” With his vision firmly set on student achievement, Mr. Argyle says that he can “effectively balance [his] duties as the instructional leader in the school and manage the affairs of the school’s intricate challenges to support student learning.” Mr. Chad Argyle will be honored at the 2018 National Distinguished Principals Program on October 11- 12 in Washington, D.C. Congratulations, Mr. Argyle on being a Nebo Hero!!

Patty Maloy, former lunch clerk at Cherry Creek Elementary and current lunch clerk at Spring Lake Elementary in Nebo School District, was awarded the Employee of the Year for both the State of Utah and the Western Region by the School Nutrition Association. Known for her enthusiasm for life and good nutrition, Patty has gone above and beyond to promote good nutrition in the lives of students. Patty was instrumental in helping Cherry Creek Elementary become the first school in Nebo School District to offer a food-sharing station. To prevent so much food from getting thrown away at lunchtime, the food-sharing station allows students to donate their untouched food for other students to take home and enjoy over the weekend. During the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Weeks, Patty plans cre-

Patty Maloy ative activities to get students involved and excited about good nutrition. Patty invites parents, college mascots, and high school athletes to join in the events at the cafeteria. Congratulations, Patty Maloy, on being a Nebo Hero!

Tooele, the winning team of the FFA competition.

By Ashley Truscott for Serve Daily The Springville FFA Chapter hosted a softball tournament and service project that several local FFA chapters participated in. The chapters that participated were Orem, Pleasant Grove, Maple Mountain, North Summit, Toole, Spanish Fork and Mt. Nebo. The event started with a service project on the west side of Springville. The participating chapters cleaned up a trail by pulling weeds that hurt the plants around them and wildlife. The Advisor of the Springville chapter promised that the chapter that collected the most Russian Olives, one of the most popular and unhealthy weeds for the en-

vironment, would be able to take first pick of the playing order. All of the chapters were trying their hardest to get the most Russian Olives so they would have a better chance of winning the softball tournament. When the chapters were done pulling weeds the trail looked so much better and a lot healthier. Getting to know some of the other chapters was fun, they had a lot to say. After the trail had been taken care of it was time to play some ball. We all met after the service project at the Springville softball fields. Each chapter participated in a double elimination tournament. Swing after swing, and foul after foul, each chapter had fun competing to win. After a long day of fun, service, and laughs Toole was the one who took the trophy home, they earned it.

Zombies coming to Spanish Fork The strength of the team at Diamond Fork By Denise Brown for Serve Daily

Diamond Fork Jr. High students participate in Team Day.

Photo: Nebo School District

By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily “The Strength of the Team is the Team” is the theme for Diamond Fork Junior High School this year. Adopted from the Utah Jazz national basketball team, “The Strength of the Team is the Team” has proven to be a meaningful motto for individuals and groups at Diamond Fork Junior High School. Two years ago, “team days” were instigated by Principal Brenda Burr. Each student belongs to a team of eighteen to twenty students for the purpose of encouraging friendship and mentoring among students of various grades. Teams meet weekly to play games, participate in team building activities, and strengthen friendships. Kara Poulsen, drama teacher at Diamond Fork Junior High, said, “We want every person at Diamond Fork to feel like they are part of the team, that everybody

here supports everyone else, and that everyone has a place to belong.” McKay Turner, an eighth-grade student at Diamond Fork Junior High, loves attending Friday meetings with his team. He said that the meetings “make it easier for some people to make friends.” Upon reaching out to the Utah Jazz about the adopted motto, Diamond Fork Junior High received news that the mascot for the Utah Jazz, the Jazz Bear, would be visiting their school! During a pep rally held on Wednesday, September 13 at Diamond Fork Junior High, the Jazz Bear rode in on top of a van launching confetti, throwing Jazz t-shirts to students, and spraying silly string in an effort to band students together for the upcoming school year. The Jazz bear lovingly danced with students, took pictures, and played with them. All students and faculty members Diamond Fork Junior High were delighted and grateful to have the Jazz Bear come to their school.

October is the time for Autumn – jacko-lanterns, cool air, and … zombies?! That’s right, zombies! Thanks to students in the marching band at Maple Mountain High School, Spanish Fork will have a mini zombie apocalypse on the evening of Friday, October 12. Students have planned a fun “Zombie Fun Run” to help them raise funds to pay band fees. The fun run will begin and end at MMHS. One of the event organizers, Jeni Coxson, says this is a one-of-a-kind event for Spanish Fork. “We are excited to see the zombie costumes from Team Zombie and how many people on Team Human can end the race without being infected,” she said. “This will be a fun social event for both students and families in the community.” The fun run, which is a 5K, will have two teams: Team Human and Team Zombie. Registrants will be allowed to choose their team, although space is limited on Team Zombie. (T-shirt color will vary depending on which team is chosen – green

for zombies and maroon for humans.) Humans will have only a 5-minute headstart before zombies are released to infect them. Humans will begin the race at 5:30 with two flags at their sides (like in flag football). When Zombies begin at 5:35, they will try to catch the humans and pull their flags to “infect” them. Everyone is allowed to finish the fun run, whether infected or not. Prizes will be given to the fastest humans who aren’t infected, the fastest zombies, and the zombie who infects the most humans (pulls the most flags). There will also be a prize for the best zombie costume on Team Zombie. Participants will have photo opportunities with zombies at the finish line, including pictures with a guest zombie from the MMHS administration. Registration is $20. Register and find all the rules at http://mmhsmarchingbandzombiefunrun.weebly.com. Packet pick-up starts at 4:30, the zombie costume contest is at 5 p.m., and the run begins at 5:30 (for humans) or 5:35 (for zombies). Register today then join us to see if you have what it takes to survive.

Nebo student leaders join together By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily Athletic leaders from secondary schools in Nebo School District gathered on September 11, 2018, for Captain’s Academy, a program implemented to increase communication and friendship among student-athletes and encourage sportsmanship and leadership. Captain’s Academy was created by Everett Kelepolo, current Principal at Springville High School, in 2009. Since that time, student-athletes and school leaders have met three times annually to discuss how sportsmanship and leadership can be implemented in their given sport. Teachers and community members have seen unity and sportsmanship increase among student-athletes at athletic events since these meetings began. The day started out with student-athletes and their coaches eating breakfast and discussing the importance of good nutrition. Daniel Burgess, a registered dietitian at LiVe Well Center in Provo, Utah, gave a presentation on “greenlight”, “yellow-light”, and “red-light”

Yellow-light foods are those that can be eaten every couple of weeks, and red-light foods are those that should only be eaten once a month, if ever! Student-athletes were reminded that to play at their highest athletic abilities, they needed to eat right! Bart Peery, Principal at Salem Hills High School, spoke on the importance of sportsmanship. Sportsmanship, Mr. Peery said, is about being kind and respectful to others on and off the field. After learning about true sportsmanship, Brynlie Ivie, a soccer player at Maple Mountain High School, commented, “In soccer, you always knock people down, so [sportsmanship] is helping them get back up.” Brynlie’s coach commented to her, “Remember, you have to do that every single time!” Next, Everett Kelepolo spoke on the importance of leadership. He did this by talking about what leadership is not. Leadership is not based on talent or position. He said, “Leadership is developed over time. Every student is a leader.” Mr. Kelepolo encouraged the students to talk about what leadership means to them. Logan Bennett, Student Body President at Payson High School, said, “A good

Plasma donation center opens in Spanish Fork Grifols plasma donation center in Spanish Fork held a ribbon cutting September 11.

Photo: Chris Baird

By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily Grifols-Biomat opened its new Spanish Fork location, 450 N Main St, with a ribbon cutting on September 11. Local residents Brandon Gordon, Melanie, and Craig Hamilton and Jesse Cardon spoke about the importance of plasma donation. Those unfamiliar with blood and plasma donations are generally under the impression that plasma and whole blood donations are handled and utilized in similar ways. Although there are many similarities in the donor selection process and some of the donation testing, the donations themselves are used to help patients in very different ways. According to Grifols, whole blood donation refers to the donation of the combination of red and white blood cells, platelets and plasma. Plasma, on the other hand, is composed of mostly water (90%) and a mixture of proteins and antibodies (10%), that are vital to the body’s ability to maintain critical functions such as controlling bleeding and fighting infections. Plasma is donated through a process called plasmapheresis, which involves the return of red blood cells to the do-

nor after separating the plasma from the whole blood. This process is more time consuming than whole blood donation but provides the opportunity for more frequent safe donations. Plasma donors can give twice a week but there must be two days between each donation. While 1 whole blood donatoin can save as many as three lives, it takes many plasma donations to help just one person. People who are missing some of the proteins in their plasma could have a life-threatening condition such as hemophilia or an immune deficiency disorder. The number of proteins in a single donation are so few one donation is insufficient for even one treatment dose. In fact, it takes anywhere from 130 to 1200 donations to treat one patient for just one year. Grifols provides a vital service to the community by facilitating plasma donations. Because of the time involved with plasma donation, donors are compensated for their time. Whole blood and plasma donations are a great way for healthy people to serve the community and make a difference in the lives of those in need. Donors can make appointments at spanishforkbiomat.com.

Behling Insurance is September Slice-A-Pizza hitting the road Business of the Month

By Andra Cefalo for Serve Daily The members of the Payson Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce have chosen Behling Insurance Agency in Payson as their September Business of the month. Behling Insurance Agency has been around for over 52 years. This business got its start back in 1966 when the agency’s founder, Rex Behling opened his first office. Rex made his mark on Payson by being the first agent for many of the insurance companies that do business in Payson. In 1984 Richard Behling joined the office as a fill-in file clerk. Rex soon convinced Richard to get his license and the rest is history. Approximately five years later Richard became the owner of the agency. Today, they have added the expertise of a new partner, Dan Sherwood, cementing the future of the agency going forward. They are proud of their employees. They currently have Teresa Sant and Sandra Rasmussen in the Payson office. Both of these ladies have worked for the agency for 25 plus years. They really take

ownership and love to help people with their insurance needs. They recently added Tamara Morgan to the Payson office. She loves her work and looks forward to helping customers with their insurance needs as well. They also have Joseph (Joe) Burkley, who works out of the Salt Lake City office with Dan when Dan is not in Payson. We asked Richard what he likes about being a business owner in the Payson Santaquin area. “Payson and Santaquin, or should I say the south end of Utah County, has been good for our Agency. The small-town feel is getting stretched a bit now but over all the people in Payson and Santaquin are why we are in business. Many of our customers want to continue to do business with us even when they move. It is because of these people that we have become licensed in nine other states (soon to be ten) and are growing in those states at the same time.” Behling Insurance Agency likes to tell people that they do everything but Crop Insurance. Their main lines of insurance offered are Home, Auto, ATV/RV, Life, Commercial, Wealth Management and Farm. Richard was the first Agribusiness and Farm Insurance Specialist in the state of Utah. The ability to write insurance for the hard to write client, being licensed in multiple states and having Richard who is an Agribusiness Specialist is what sets Behling Insurance apart. Richard himself is a farmer so he really understands the industry. Richard said, “Behling Insurance really is Payson/Santaquin’s hometown insurance agency. No other agency can say that they have served this area longer and we are looking forward to the next 50 years.”

Local favorite Slice-A-Pizza hopes to get this food truck rolling.

By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily Slice-A-Pizza has been a local favorite since the 1980s. Slice lovers have followed the family-owned restaurant from Orem, to Mapleton, to Spanish Fork. Now, the Stevenson family hopes to provide a new way for fans to get their SliceA-Pizza -- by food truck. Since the Spanish Fork Slice-A-Pizza closed several years ago, Ashlie Stevenson has been overwhelmed by the love customers have shown for the business. "Everywhere I go people are begging me to re-open it," she said. One customer got down on his knees in the grocery store to beg Ashlie to bring back the pizza joint he'd grown up with. "We just have a huge following," she said. Stevenson decided to reinvent the

restaurant as a food truck to make the business more mobile. The business has fans all over the valley. People also often ask Stevenson if she will cater events or parties, so, with a food truck, she can fill those needs as well. The Stevenson family has been working hard to raise the money they need to purchase the truck and equipment they need and to get proper licensing. They have been holding bake sales on the weekends and set up a crowdfunding page, https:// www.gofundme.com/sliceonwheels. "We're getting there," Stevenson said. "We're really looking for the final push to get it up and rolling." With success on wheels, the family hopes to someday open another Slice-A-storefront front as well.

The Payson Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce celebrates a new name, new logo and new digs By Payson Santaquin Chamber for Serve Daily What’s in a name? Everything! The Payson Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce made a change in their name to show a change in focus. “When our chambers first came together we were the Payson & Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce,” said chamber Past President and board member, Lorene Moore. “The & was there because we were bringing together two communities. It’s time to take it out and recognize that we really are one business community serving both towns.” It’s a small change that the chamber hopes will say a lot about how important it is for businesses in both towns to work together to create success for everyone. With the new name comes a new logo. “We wanted a fresh new logo that represents our fresh focus,” current President, Jade Walker, noted. “We are looking

closely at everything we do to see how we can make our events, our communications and our community efforts more beneficial to all of our members.” The ribbon cutting for their new office on Main St. in Payson was a great opportunity for the chamber to introduce these changes, and their new Executive Director, Andra Cefalo, to their members and the public. “I’m excited to be working with the chamber,” said Cefalo. “Our chamber has so much to offer our members. I am really looking forward to reaching out to businesses and helping them see what is here for them.” Along with their offices, the chamber’s new home has a conference room that will be available to members whenever they need more space than they may have at their own business. The chamber invites you to stop by their new office at 22 South Main St. in Payson and see how you can become a part of the chamber.

THE FUNNYISH FILES Daddy, Are You a Pirate? By Joe Capell for Serve Daily It really should go without saying, but I'm going to say it anyway: Parents shouldn't use curse words in front of their children. It's basic common sense. If you don't want your kids to swear like sailors, you probably shouldn't swear when you're around them. (You probably shouldn't swear even when you're not around them, but that's a topic for another day.) So, you're probably wondering, "Joe, how do you avoid cursing in front of your children?" Well, I'm glad you asked. My method is pretty simple, really. Whenever I feel like using a swear word, I simply replace it by shouting like a pirate. Instead of cursing, I'll just yell, "ARRGHH!!!" That's all there is to it. It's really very easy. Since I adopted this strategy, I never hardly ever curse in front of my children! The only problem is, I yell "ARRGHH!!!" in front of my children so often that I'm afraid I might be turning into an actual pirate. Here are a few of the trigger events that make me worry: *When I ask the kids to clear their spot at the table, and they throw their silverware into the garbage. "ARRGHH!!!" *When the boy drinks a mouthful of

milk, but instead of swallowing it, he holds it in his mouth like mouthwash for five minutes until he walks into the living room and spits it out all over the front of his shirt and the carpet. "ARRGHH!!!" *When you take the time to actually help your child do their homework, then find out she didn't bother to turn it in. "ARRGHH!!!"

Audition call for Christmas Carol

FREE

*When you're looking to take a selfie of yourself dressed as a pirate, but you can't find an eye patch anywhere. "ARRGHH!!!" *When you feel obligated to explain to your children the difference between a tablecloth and a Kleenex. "ARRGHH!!!" *When you ask if he's cleaned his room, he says, "Yes," and then you actually walk past his room and look inside. "ARRGHH!!!" *When you think you are reading but he thinks you are playing catch, and he hits you in the face with a ball. "ARRGHH!!!" *When he, unbeknownst to you, decides to play catch with something other than a ball, and he hits you in the face with a Hot Wheels car. "ARRGHH!!!" *When you spend ten minutes doing her hair so it looks just right, then she immediately runs off and puts on a hat. "ARRGHH!!!" *When you feel obligated to explain the difference between a fork and a comb. "ARRGHH!!!" *When you say, "ARRGHH!!!" so often that your three-year-old daughter asks you, "Daddy, are you a pirate?" ("ARRGHH!!!") For more funny-ish stuff, check out slowjoe40.com.

Todd Hansen speaking at GINNY’S GENEALOGICAL GEMS yearly Family History Fair Additional sources for LDS ancestors By Ginny Ackerson for Serve Daily 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 BYU-TV 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.

Pioneer families on the trail.

By Ginny Ackerson for Serve Daily For people with Latter Day Saint ancestors, there are many records available to help you with your family tree. In FamilySearch, there are two comprehensive articles (Tracing LDS Ancestors and Tracing Mormon Pioneers) describing records unique to LDS members: https://www. familysearch.org/wiki/en/Tracing_LDS_ Ancestors and https://www.familysearch. org/wiki/en/Tracing_Mormon_Pioneers There are ward and Temple records which can include birth, blessing, baptism, marriage and death dates. There are immigration and migration records of the ships and companies that crossed the plains. Mission records, journals and letters are also available to researchers. You can even request the patriarchal blessings of your ancestors! This article will highlight three databases. For those of you with Welsh ancestors, BYU has a Welsh Mormon Immigrant project. Family history students at Brigham Young University are working to document each immigrant through the available records of the time, as well as linking journals, biographies, and photos to each immigrant. Currently, the database contains 5,200 people. If you have any documentation of your Welsh family, donations of photographs, biographies, journals, or other information are welcome. Please contact Ron Dennis at: welshmormon@yahoo.com. The Early Church Information File, 1830-1900 contains more than a million images of index cards in alphabeti-

cal order for some early members of the Church. The names on the cards come primarily from sources from 1830 to the mid-1900s. The Early Church Information File (ECIF) was created using various sources including LDS church records, journals, biographies, cemetery records, immigration records and published books. Visit https://www.familysearch.org/search/image/index#uri=https:// www.familysearch.org/recapi/sord/collection/2078505/waypoints. Did you know that the Church took censuses separate from government censuses? The Church took censuses to track members and Church growth throughout the world. The first Churchwide census was taken in 1914. Beginning in 1920, the Church took a census every five years until 1960, except 1945. Information in Church censuses consists of a card with information about each family in a ward or branch. Each person in the household is listed on the family card with their gender, age, priesthood office, and marital status. Each time the census was taken, additional information was included, especially in 1920 when they added the maiden name of married women, year of birth of each person, and the Church auxiliaries each person attended. Then in 1925 the complete birth date is included. The 1930 census adds the exact place of birth. Cards for Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and parts of Maryland also provide exact baptism information. Visit https:// www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/LDS_ Census.

Buckhorn Wash By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily

Interesting and little-known history from the Cold War, dinosaur tracks, prehistoric Indian pictographs, and outlaw Matt Warner’s inscription are all part of an easy gravel road drive in the spectacular steep-walled canyon known as Buckhorn wash. The 9½ mile canyon is a wonderful place to spend the day exploring with the family. It is about a two-hour automobile drive from South Utah County and fall is a perfect time of year to visit with generally mild temperatures. Drive to Price on US Highway 6 and then turn south on Utah Highway 10. In about 30 miles, just before you get to the town of Castle Dale is a turn off to your left (west) accessing San Rafael Swell destination. The landmark for the turnoff is an old and photogenic corral complex. This begins the drive on a graded gravel road to the north entrance to Buckhorn Wash. This part of the road is known as Buckhorn Flats. After about 12 ½ miles you will arrive at a four-way road intersection with a BLM information site, vault toilets, and picnic tables. From this point, you will see a sign directing you to continue east 2 miles to Buckhorn Wash. In two miles you will see a road to your right turning southbound. A few weeks

ago the BLM direction sign pointing to Buckhorn Wash had been torn down and only the two vertical posts were present, so watch for this intersection. Straight ahead eastbound is a BLM road sign that informs you it is 16 miles to US Highway 6. The major points of interest are listed below in reference to this road junction. 0.9 miles: Morrison Knudsen Tunnels with two tunnels visible on the west and east side of the road. As a secret Cold War project, the Department of Defense hired the Construction firm of Morrison Knudsen to tunnel into the sandstone of upper Buckhorn Wash. The purpose was to test the suitability of the rock for underground bunkers safe from air delivered bombs. On October 4, 1948, a blast of 320,000 pounds of explosives were detonated on the mesa above one of the tunnel complexes. Soft sandstone did not hold up as well as the hard granite of Colorado where NORAD and other government facilities were eventually located. 1.6 miles: Dinosaur footprint on a ledge about 15 feet above the east side of the road. The west side of the road has room for parking. The dinosaur footprint is on a large flat sandstone area almost right under your feet when you are on the ledge above the road. 2.1 miles: A small set of petroglyphs that can be seen from the main road but

Custom CARPET AND VINYL

Buckhorn Wash Canyon. they can be difficult to find. The clue is to look for some bullet holes where someone tried to shoot their initials into the rock wall. The initials are TKG and the petroglyphs are left of the initials. 2.3 miles: Park south of the cattle guard and you will find a trail on the east side of the canyon going up a steep hill. At the top of this trail is a panel of petroglyphs that cannot be seen from the road. 4.2 miles: Outlaw Matt Warner’s inscription dated Feb. 17, 1920, located about 40 feet above the east side of the road. Matt Warner was an outlaw who ran with the Butch Cassidy gang and after serving a jail sentence became a respected lawman in Price, Utah. 5.5 miles: Spectacular 150 foot long Prehistoric Indian Rock Art display that may have been painted more than 2,000 years ago. The area has a large parking area, interpretive signage, and restrooms.

Photo: Ed Helmick The Buckhorn Wash Rock Art Site was listed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1980. 9.2 miles: San Rafael River Bridge and the end of the Buckhorn Wash Road. A BLM campground is located on both sides of the river with picnic tables and vault toilets. South of the river is the Cottonwood Wash Road which connects with I-70 in about 20 miles. Your return home can be to backtrack your route north up the Canyon and then take the Green River Cut Off to Highway 6 or continue driving down Cottonwood Wash to I-70. This destination is one of 42 in the author's trail guide to the San Rafael Swell available from Dickerson Automotive in Spanish Fork and Art City Coffee Shop.

Frank’s Elk Hunt By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily

Frank Snyder grew up as an avid outdoorsman with a passion for hunting and fishing. He had a trophy elk head on his living room wall that he shot near Vernal, Utah. The family called the elk “Igor.” Frank looked forward to his hunting and fishing trips every year with his family. Then a tragic accident occurred in 2001. Frank was accidentally electrocuted while working on a high voltage power line. He nearly died. However, he did lose both arms, the right one at the shoulder and the left one at the elbow. He also lost a piece of his skull. It is a God blessed miracle that Frank survived. While in the hospital his house burned down which included the loss of Igor, the elk head. Friends and neighbors built a new house for Frank and his family. The physical and emotional trauma that Frank suffered is beyond our normal world of comprehension. With faith and family, Frank has dealt with most of the challenges. He has adapted well and manages to be active in fixing and inventing things. However, Frank had not been hunting for 16 years, a passion that was important to him. His son-in-law, Mike Gale, was wondering if there could be someway Frank could go hunting again. Then he heard

about Kenneth Vaughn of Springville, Utah who heads up Utah’s Chairbound Sportsman Organization. The mission of this organization is to make the outdoors possible for those with serious limitations, and Wounded Warriors. Their activities include fishing, target shooting, hunting, and other outdoor recreational events. It is an all-volunteer organization to support the cause. Kenneth Vaughn founder of the Utah Chapter of Chairbound Sportsman said “Yes it is possible for Frank Snyder to hunt again” and a plan was set in motion. One of the Chairbound members is Andy Dahmen who has a special gun mount for his side by side ATV that enables a handicapped person to aim a rifle with shoulder movement. A powered trigger mechanism made by Be Adaptive Equipment of Columbia City, Indiana was loaned by Todd Branin of Richfield, Utah. This device has three components: the electric activator mounts inside the standard trigger guard, the control box that attaches to the stock of the gun by a Velcro strap, and a suction tube that extends from the control box. The user sucks on the tube to pull the trigger. With this set up a target practice day was scheduled for Saturday, December 9, to put Frank behind a gun sight for the first time in a long time. The practice gave him confidence with the equipment and his shooting ac-

25 The ranch is 5,600 acres (about 9 square miles) of mountainous land providing a home for a significant heard of privately owned Elk. After a briefing by Kelly Hymas and assignment of a guide, Paul Fritzsche, the hunt for a mature bull elk was on. The hunting party was using ATV’s and a side-by-side with the special gun mount for Frank that he had previously used in the December buffalo hunt. Because of the terrain, the stands of Douglas fir, aspen groves, and alpine meadows, this became a real hunting experience. Late in the afternoon, a magnificent elk was found posing on a hillside. It was a larger animal than expected and the guide commented, “it doesn’t get much better than this.” Frank was positioned to take the shot and brought the elk down. The elk measured an unofficial 414½ points. It was to be a three-day prepaid hunt and even though he got the prize elk he wanted to spend the next two days scouting for elk on the ranch property. He was having the time of his life. Frank Snyder’s passion for hunting has

finally returned after his serious accident in 2001. The idea of a man who lost both arms being able to hunt is amazing and emotionally rewarding for everyone involved and there were a lot of people that made it possible for Frank to hunt again. We need to be thankful that we have people in our community that are dedicated to making lost passions possible again. If you are interested in donating or volunteering or seek help for others such as Frank please look at their website at www.chairboundsportsman.org or facebook at Chairbound Sportsman. Both the buffalo and the elk were shot on private ranches as game farm animals. Both these ranches have lots of acreage and natural habitat for the animals. These private game ranches provide hunting access for handicapped people that do not otherwise exist. This point alone makes a strong case for private hunting ranches. It should also be noted that these game animals are raised like livestock to be hunted rather than sent directly to a meat packing house.
