Tabitha’s Way

Building a foundation for a no hunger zone SPANISH FORK - Last year Tabitha’s Way Local Food Pantry in Spanish Fork provided temporary food assistance to approximately 30,000 individuals and redistributed 960,000 pounds of food equaling nearly 2,000,000 meals. In early 2017, they began construction on a new facility in Spanish Fork that will accommodate the growing needs of the South Utah County area. The new building will have ADA access, include electrical improvements, commercial refrigeration and a loading dock. “These upgrades are needed so we can safely provide services and to give us the ability to provide fresh produce and dairy items such as eggs, milk and cheese to families with children, seniors and individuals with disabilities, who do not have

the means to buy enough healthy and nutritious foods,” said Wendy Osborne, Tabitha’s Way founder. Those interested can follow the building’s progress on the organization Facebook page, Tabitha’s Way Local Food Pantry South County. Tabitha’s Way serves the working-class poor; families and individuals who are going through a tough time. On average, more than half of the people served each month are children. Osborne said, “Most of the families we see are facing a temporary crisis. These tough times include things like a transmission going out, cancer or other serious illness, abandonment or sudden loss of employment.” How does Food Insecurity affect the community? Osborne explains

Volunteers find joy serving at Tabitha’s Way food pantry. The organization depends on weekly volunteers to keep operation costs down. it using the popular Snickers candy tagline that “you are not yourself when you are hungry”. “Well, it’s true. Hunger can affect an adult’s ability to think clearly and interact socially impeding their capacity to work well. Food insecurity (the anxiety of not having enough food) affects a person emotionally and physically by elevating

stress levels. Stress is linked to most major illnesses including depression, obesity, heart disease and diabetes,” she said. Child hunger has an even more devastating impact as it has long-term effects on a child’s mental and physical development. Studies show that children that are food insecure have trouble learning and retaining information making it 2

SALEM - Mt. Loafer Elementary recently held a fundraiser for victims of Hurricane Harvey. The school designated an official “Helping Hands for Harvey Day” in which students and faculty dressed as a “Texan” and were asked to donate $1 to schools devastated by the hurricane. Donations came flying in and by the next morning, Mt Loafer was able to send $1,567.13 to a school district in Texas.

Fourth graders at Mt. Loafer Elementary School have been learning about what it means to be a good citizen and what they can do to be a good citizen of the United States. After discussing how we should always be kind, helpful and involved in our community they came to the realization that we can reach beyond our community to be a good citizen. With Hurricane Harvey being such a heartbreaking disaster, the students wanted to reach out and help 2

In order to fulfill their mission, Tabitha’s Way needs regular volunteers, specific food donations at specific times and financial donations. It takes 75 regular volunteers to help operate the food pantry. They are looking for individuals or groups who can commit to a 2-3 hour shift once every 1-2 weeks. Visit JustServe.org or email info@tabithasway.org to find out about volunteer opportunities. You can donate at www.tabithasway.org. Like any organization, they have expenses. These include salaries, insurance, rent, equipment, maintenance, trucks and so on. Volunteers and food donations

have increased efficiency and the food assistance they provide ends up costing about $.09 per meal. As the holiday months approach, many groups and organizations plan food drives. Osborn said they can make their food drive more meaningful by scheduling it and accepting a food assignment to assure variety in incoming donations. “We have 3 pallets of green beans! A variety of foods are needed to provide a balanced nutritional diet,” Osborne said. Virtual food drives are another great way to help us provide what is needed most. Email fooddrive@tabithasway.org for information on making your food drive more effective. Osborne said the Tabitha’s Way goal is to serve the local communities well. The larger vision includes creating a No Hunger Zone—an area where no one ever has to face hunger or food insecurity because neighbors (citizens, businesses, schools, and other organizations) have taken emotional and financial responsibility to assure that never happens. “To achieve that vision, we need to continue to improve what we do, to find and serve specific areas, to engage many more individuals and organizations to volunteer and donate money,” she said. “We look forward to building an endowment that will allow support for individuals and families (especially children) suffering tough times for many decades.” Because tough times and hunger and food insecurity don’t come and go and they don’t take vacations, Osborne emphasizes the solution needs to be equally persistent and resolved. A thriving local food pantry is the first step to fighting food insecurity. Once completed, Tabitha’s Way will move from

its existing location on Main Street and into its permanent home at 45 East 100 North, Spanish Fork. Osborne said, “Every success we have achieved has been with the support of many. A heartfelt thank you to the many donors, partners, employees, volunteers, and neighbors for helping reduce hunger and food insecurity in our community. We invite you to come visit us. We invite you to help.”

Taming a wild mustang

Chyrah and her mustang Legend. Photo: Ed Helmick

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily

MONA — The July issue of Serve Daily had an article on wild horses in the west desert of Utah. Bryan Bussian wrote to us that his daughter, Chyrah, has adopted and is training a wild horse from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). After a 100 day training period, this horse will compete with domestic horses in a skills assessment in November. The event titled “Impact of the Horse” is a partnership between the BLM and the Sage Creek Equestrian Center. This is the rest of the story of wild horses in the western United States. The Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 provides for protection of established herds ofhorses and burros. The BLM estimates that Utah has 3,600 free roaming or wild horses in 24 herd management areas. These horses are referred to as “Mustangs” (male or female) and not a speciﬁc breed, but a mixture of breeds that have co-mingled over many

years on the open rangeland. In order for the rangeland to support the herd, the size of the herd is managed by the BLM by rounding up and removing mustangs and corralling them for adoption. The Bussian family of Mona are horse people. They have been passionate about horses all their lives and that is the way they have raised their six children. They were on horseback before they walked. Their youngest daughter, Chyrah, who just turned 20, has trained quite a few horses in her young life and adopted a mustang from the BLM. During the day Chyrah works as a processional rider for Young Living Farms. She had been working with the draft horses and is now training for the jousting event. Chyrah is an amazing woman. Chyrah’s horse is four-year-old mare named Legend that had been in captivity for two years in Delta before being adopted. Quite a few requirements and regulations had to be met to establish that the horse was being adopted into an adequate and safe environment. The BLM has specifications for the corral and even the horse trailer. This adoption comes with a catch. Chyrah has just 100 days to train the horse for a competition event to be held in Heber comparing mustang and domestic horses. That sounds like quite a challenge. First you have to get the mustang comfortable being around people, cars, motorcycles, school buses and a saddle. When asked what was the first thing she did with the horse, Chyrah said she wanted to be the first to put the bridle on to start building a relationship. At the time of our visit, she

After bridling and saddling her mustang, Chyrah did a riding demonstration that included having the horse kneel on command. Chyrah’s mother popped a couple of balloons near the face of the horse, and the horse was not spooked. A large plastic ball was bounced in front of the horse, and it did not startle the mustang mare. The ball was then bounced off the side of the horse, and it did not appear to bother her. Next, a smaller red ball was brought out that the horse had not seen before. Chyrah and her mother played with the ball without disturbing the stance of the horse. Chyrah then rode her horse up onto an old tractor tire filled with dirt. The horse turned around and then backed off the tire.

This was a pretty impressive demonstration of a tamed mustang. The “Impact of the Horse, Domestic vs. Mustang Challenge” that Chyrah and her mustang mare “Legend” are preparing for will be held November 10 and 11 at the Wasatch Events Center in Heber. It is billed as an event to demonstrate mustangs cannot only hold their own, but give the domestic horses a run for the Championship. After the event the BLM horses featured will be sold at auction. Chyrah has the option to bid on Legend. Asked if she wanted to buy Legend she said, “Probably not. I can’t buy every horse I train.” If you have any interest in horses, or western history, this will be an interesting event to follow. You can learn more on the Facebook page “Impact of the Horse, Two Worlds, One Event.”

Reflections on the changing seasons By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily

As everyone knows we have entered the Fall or Autumn Season and oﬃcially that occurred September 22. The four seasons are determined by our planets orbit around the sun and the tilt of the earth’s axis which shifts the amount of sunlight the Northern and Southern Hemisphere receives. The tilt of the earth’s axis is a very clever design by our creator to spread the warmth of the sun and to establish weather patterns that enable the agricultural activity that supports life. An equinox is a point in the Earth’s orbit when day and night are approximately equal duration all over the planet. With the fall equinox, the hours of daylight in the Northern Hemisphere are becoming shorter each day until the Winter Solstice on December 21, which is the shortest day of the year. After this date, the days start getting longer. There is a lag be-

Now we are in the harvest season and another reason to appreciate the seasons of the year we are blessed with. We are also blessed with brilliant fall colors to add another element of variety to our lives. Then, there is the end of year celebrations of Thanksgiving and Christmas bringing our families together in thanks for our blessings.

Ryan Stream is a man with a mission By Janice Helmick with Ryan Stream for Serve Daily

Every once in a while, you meet someone you become really impressed with because of their commitment to what they are doing and their ability to do it. My husband, Ed, and I first met Ryan Stream on August 19, 2017, at the Demolition Derby at the County Fair in Spanish Fork. Ryan followed the flag into the arena on a trailer while playing a piano. Ryan sang the national anthem and then sang a song to pay tribute to Jim Louder, who has been the announcer for the derby from the beginning. The next time we saw Ryan he was giving a presentation at a convention in Provo. The theme of his remarks was homeless to hero. He stressed the fact that we are the authors of our own story. He talks about sleeping in homeless shelters, foster homes, being adopted, addicted to drugs, going to jail multiple times and then changing his life by serving our country and deploying to Afghanistan two times. Here is his story in his own words: My name is Ryan Andrew Stream. I am a 27-year-old husband, father, motivational speaker, musician, soldier, high school football coach, and I also work fulltime at a plant called Materion in Delta, Utah. I do anything and everything I possibly can do to make a difference. My brothers and I slept some nights in a homeless shelter and stayed in different foster care homes. One by one we were separated from one another feeling lost, alone, scared and anything you can possibly feel as kids. Our biological parents loved us, but the choices and the decisions they made only led them to addictions, jail and prison.

After a few hard, sad, challenging years, and living in different states and different places, all four of us boys were reunited and adopted by the Stream family. This family from Huntington, Emery County never gets the recognition they deserve for changing the lives of three boys, then two years later being able to adopt our youngest brother. The Stream family already had six girls and one boy and were kind and loving enough to open their arms and home for four more. The Stream family raised us to be righteous and to always place God first in all we do. During high school, I joined the military because I wanted to make a change, and I wanted to make a difference. After returning home, I started to work in the coal mines and shortly after that started to attend college. I had just received my $20,000 sign on bonus and was making $25 an hour working in the coal mine at the age of 18. I was more successful than anyone my age and most people older than me. I felt like I had life by the horns, didn’t need to listen to my parents or anyone who tried to give me advice. At the age of 19, I moved to Orem and started to get in a lot of trouble. I went to jail multiple times and got addicted to drugs.Soon I was homeless and sleeping in my car because of the bad choices that I had made. I changed my life and was able to serve my country twice in Afghanistan. Our mission was to find bombs placed on the road and to clear the route before any and all personnel to pass. Our year-long mission was very dangerous - mentally and physically draining. We deployed 32 soldiers in my platoon and 23 of the 32 soldiers were blown up by an IED.

US Veteran Ryan Stream shares his inspiring music and life story. I was diagnosed with two mild traumatic brain injuries, hearing loss, and PTSD. I remember crying alone on a bench one night because I was not sure I was going to make it home alive. I was 21 years old, and I did not want to die. In July of 2011, I did not return home with everyone I deployed with. I married my best friend and ﬁnished one semester of school before being deployed to Afghanistan for the second time in 2012. After this deployment, I returned home and met my eight-month-old daughter, and I started a life with my wife. It was very hard for me to transition back into the real world. I was waking up in the middle of the night and searching for my weapon. I felt like I was under attack. I was always on edge and very aggressive. I started to make bad choices once again, and consequences soon followed. I can happily say I have been to 38 counseling classes, and I love them. My wife has been a great helping hand, and loved me enough to give me and our marriage a second chance. The most important part

of life is family. I feel like I can do anything with them by my side. I will prove to the world that you can change and that you can make a diﬀerence. Change your mind, and it will change your life, even if nothing else changes. Change the people you hang out with. The outcome of your life is based on the decisions you make. We are the authors of our story, and only you can write the book of your life. I currently travel around speaking at schools, universities, troubled youth and adult group homes, youth ﬁresides, and state prisons. I opened for Alex Boye and other well-known artists and motivational speakers. I compose my own music and share my story through the lyrics. Ryan had never been around a piano before he was adopted, and he does not read music, but he composes music and writes lyrics. He plays songs over and over until they are imprinted on his brain. His music is a passion and his speaking a mission to help others. To learn about scheduling a presentation email ryan2_stream@gmail. com or call 435-253-1868.

Get up, go out and do something! By Joseph Cappell for Serve Daily

Sometimes that recliner is just a little too comfortable. You know you should get up, get out and do something, and you’re sure that you will...but in a few minutes. Not right now. You’re cozy in the chair. You’ve got your smart phone and you’re cruising through a game of Candy Crush. You’re mindlessly watching another episode of Family Feud. Or, you’re scrolling through the recipes, political diatribes and mindless nostalgia that Facebook has become. You’ll get up and do something...in a minute. And while you’re sitting there in the chair, what are the kids doing? Playing quietly? Reading? Moping? Fighting with each other? Getting into things they shouldn’t? Continually interrupting you so you lose track of which candy you are supposed to be crushing? Did you know that if you get up out of the chair and interact with your kids, that they are less likely to misbehave? (I have no scientiﬁc study to cite to back up that

statement, but it sure seems like common sense to me.) Let me ask you a question: What are your kids more likely to remember, yet another day of you sitting in the chair staring at a screen, or that time you took them to the children’s museum? When your kids grow up and look back at their childhoods, they will definitely think of the times you played with them at the park, went hiking with them, played basketball with them or did anything outside with them before they think of all the times they tried in vain to get your attention while you sat there like a big, giant lump. And what about you? What will you remember? Will it be that list of “Ten Things the Producers of Mork and Mindy Didn’t Want You To Know” on Facebook? (And the 24 times you had to click the “NEXT” button to get through it.) Or will you remember the look on your girl’s face the first time she gets the courage to go down the BIG slide? It’s all up to you. Hey, I know the chair is soft and cozy. But, when you look back on their life will you ever say, “Remember all the times I sat in that comfortable chair, doing nothing?” I don’t think so. Laziness never was happiness. There’s more funny-ish stuff every Tuesday and Friday at slowjoe40.com!

Host Stephanie Ewell with a guest on the new SF17 program, Be Well, Spanish Fork! Photo: Spanish Fork 17

By Pete Hansen for Serve Daily

SPANISH FORK — Wellness is “...a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or inﬁrmity.”— The World Health Organization “Surround yourself” is the phrase you see on Spanish Fork city’s welcome signs. The tagline, while catchy, begs the question, “What is it that residents of the city choose to surround themselves with?” Thanks to an exciting new Active and Healthy Communities initiative, residents now have a source of inspiration, education and motivation to surround themselves with wellness: “Be Well, Spanish Fork!”, is a new Spanish Fork 17 series that can teach anyone how, where, and why living a healthy lifestyle is within anyone’s reach. Be Well, Spanish Fork! will premiere in October and aims to highlight physical wellness, by sharing a plethora of local inspirational stories, tools for motivation, recipes and healthy lifestyle tips and tricks. Additionally, it will serve as a source of emotional and mental wellness through segments of interviews with local experts

and therapists who will teach you how to enrich your life. The city champion of health and wellness initiatives, Susan Richardson Chapman, has been instrumental in implementing a wellness focus for the community. She says, “Be Well, Spanish Fork! will be one of several tools in helping the city achieve key Active and Healthy Community initiatives.” Chapman and SF City Councilman Mike Mendenhall are working hard to promote and enhance healthy lifestyle resources in the city. Thanks to their eﬀorts, new parks are under development and the already robust city biking, jogging and walking trails are expanding. The city also operates its own public Facebook group, Spanish Fork Active and Healthy Community, which has nearly 2,000 people sharing and learning about city wellness activities and resources. Tune in to Be Well, Spanish Fork! for a “well” of encouragement and hope for your own wellness goals. Host Stephanie Ewell will inspire as she shares about topics that concern the mind, body and spirit. Spanish Fork 17 is available on SFCN or the program will be available on Youtube. com/SpanishFork17.

SPANISH FORK — 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 also his sense of showmanship. For this type of event specially bred Mexican bulls are used because they are smaller, quicker, and “smart.” The arena action is dangerous and potentially deadly, even with protective vests, hip pads and some wear knee guards. As a spectator sport, it can be an adrenalin rush that puts you at the edge of your stadium seat. Freestyle bullfighting was brought to the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds Arena Saturday night, September 23, by Gary Jones as a fundraising project for Type 1 diabetes research. Gary’s son, Westlee, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes years ago. A raffle was also part of the evening. It was a wet, cold evening and the arena

floor was muddy. When the action started with 1,000-pound bulls in a contest with a 150-pound man the audience stopped shivering in the cold with tunnel vision focused on the players. The danger to the bullfighter was obvious and illustrated several times, but without serious injury. 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 Re/Max in Spanish Fork. Then, the rodeo days called him again and he wanted to get back in the arena as a bullfighter. At the age of 48, with the help of some sports medicine people and a rugged physical conditioning program Gary returned to the rodeo arena in the 2012 Fiesta Days Rodeo in Spanish fork. Gary’s son Westlee grew up watching his dad’s bullfighting videos and was 10 years old when his dad got back into bullfighting in 2012. Westlee’s dream was to be a bullfighter like his Dad. At age 16 with careful monitoring of his blood sugar by his mother, Cyndi, he was approved to compete as a bullfighter in the September 23 event. Becoming the first freestyle bullfighter with Type 1 diabetes at age16 is a

remarkable achievement. This one-night bullfighting event raised $20,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).In the four years that Gary Jones has been hosting this event a total of $52,000 has been raised. JDRF sponsors $530 million in scientific research in 17 countries. The goal is to develop technology to make life easier for the Type 1 diabetic and find a cure.

Airplane ride of a lifetime Strategies for using indexes in your in a T-6 “pilotmaker” genealogical research By Ginny Ackerson for Serve Daily

Let’s talk about strategies for using indexes in your genealogical research. First, you must understand how indexes are created. The record is created by someone who may not be literate, who may be recording only what they hear, or may not speak the language in which the record is stated or recorded. This can result in misspellings, the wrong record being created, incorrect dates and places or even no records being created at all! Next, someone has to transcribe that information and organize it. Mis-interpretations of handwriting during this process can result in huge errors in names and dates. Once the index is created, it can be transcribed again to make a typed or printed index, which is subject to the transcriber’s understanding of the of the handwritten index. Many errors seem to occur during this process. Next, someone has to transcribe that information and organize it. Misinterpretations of handwriting during this process can result in huge errors in names and dates. Once the index is created, it can be transcribed again to make a typed or printed index, which is subject to the transcriber’s understanding of the of the handwritten index. Many errors also occur during this process. The Soundex system was developed to help overcome misspellings. Using the Soundex and your fertile imagination, spell the name you’re looking for in as many ways as you possibly can…I guarantee that someone, somewhere, recorded your ancestors under every single one

of those spellings! For example, Kane can be spelled Kain, Cane, Cain, Cayne, Kayne or even Kaine/Caine. Once you have a list of possible spellings you can begin a comprehensive search of indexes. For articles on using the Soundex and for some online Soundex converters try these websites: http:// resources.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/ soundexconverter, https://www.stevemorse.org/census/soundex.html, https:// www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Soundex. With so many genealogical records being indexed online, here are some additional hints to search them eﬀectively. Find what symbol the website uses for a wild card. Most use the “*” or asterisk. If you have a name with multiple spellings use the symbol in place of letters that could vary. Jensen, Jenson, Jensson and Jennsen are all diﬀerent variations of the same name. To search for them all at them same time, use Jen*n. If you have a name such as Hutchinson you could use Hutch*ns*n and several variations of the name will show up including Hutchensen, Hutchinsen and Hutchenson. In handwriting, several letters look similar and may have been indexed incorrectly. F is mistaken for T, S is mistaken for L and T, A can be seen as H, I and J look alike, and Q and O are similar. So check the indexes substituting similar letters as they may have been transcribed that way. AND ALWAYS, ALWAYS LOOK AT THE ACTUAL RECORD WHEN POSSIBLE! You may be missing out on information not included in the index!

Steve Gray got an airplane “ride of a lifetime” in a WWII era T-6. Photo: Ed Helmick

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily

Like a lot of men whose fathers flew Army Air Corp airplanes in World War II, Steve Gray had always wanted to fly in the airplane his father flew as a young cadet. This had been a lifelong dream. Steve felt it would be a tribute to his father and to his mother who was a young nurse at the time. After basic and advanced flight training his father flew B-24 bombers before returning to civilian life and raising a family. Last month Steve got his “airplane ride of a lifetime” in a North American T-6 advanced trainer from the WWII era. This was facilitated by airshow pilot and flight school owner Barry Hancock at the Heber Airport. It was a beautiful blue sky morning when Steve arrived at the airport with great excitement and a little anxiety about something he has never done before. He brought with him photos of his father in his flight gear as a proud cadet and another picture of his beautiful mother in her crisp looking 1940’s style nurses uniform. This was clearly the day Steve Gray had been thinking about for a long time. Now to the airplane, the T-6 is huge compared with training aircraft today such as a Cessna 172 or Diamond DA20. The T-6 has a big round engine that produces 600 hp and a 42-foot wingspan. Since this airplane is approved for aerobatic flight maneuvers the safety briefing included how to use the parachute you will be wearing. The nearest exit from the T-6 is sliding the canopy out of the way. In an emer-

gency egress the front seat pilot steps out to the left and the back seat guy steps out to the right. With those details out of the way, Pilot Barry Hancock and Steve Gray climbed into the T-6 to go flying. After liftoff and climbing to a safe altitude, Barry asked Steve if he would like to take the controls. Steve was a little hesitant to move the control stick very much. Then Barry demonstrated a wing over, a couple of rolls and a loop. Steve got a new perspective at looking at the world from above. When they landed and taxied to the ramp at Barry’s hangar, Steve had a smile as wide as the big round engine on the front of the airplane and a thumbs up gesture. It truly was Steve Gray’s airplane ride of a lifetime. A few days after Steve made his flight, his mother passed away, making him even more thankful he made the flight when he did. During WWII the T-6 was known as “The Pilot Maker” and Barry Hancock named his flight school Pilot Maker Flight Academy. He operates a variety of airplanes for private pilot through commercial pilot training, aerobatic training, and tailwheel endorsements. His flight school in Heber is developing an excellent reputation, and he has now opened an office at the Provo Airport. For information on T-6 rides and pilot training contact Pilot Maker Flight Academy at 435-315-3944. For those people that attended the Springville-Spanish Fork “Aeroplanes, Trains, and Cars” event September 15, Barry flew his yellow T-6 in that event.

Good Citizen award PAYSON — Central Bank honored Arnie Beddoes for the positive impact he’s had on the Payson community by presenting him with the Central Bank Good Citizen Award at an open house on September 21 at Central Bank’s Payson oﬃce. Beddoes was born in Payson in 1947 and has lived there his whole life. Beddoes always has something funny and interesting to share with others. He loves to talk about Payson, learn about people and make them feel like part of his family. Beddoes and his wife, LeeAnn, have 5 children, 13 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild on the way. “Payson has always been a good place to grow up and have a family,” said Beddoes. After high school, Beddoes made a career as a miner. Starting in 1965, Beddoes worked in several mines, including the Burgin Mines near Eureka. He loved mining and the close friends he worked with for so many years. When the mining industry declined, he began exploring other options. Beddoes has fond memories of the “old” Payson with the stores on Main Street and the fun vintage cars. In high school, Beddoes worked at the American Service Station at the end of Main Street. This job sparked Beddoes’ love for old cars and increased his desire to run a gas station. Consequently, Beddoes opened his own convenience store on March 3, 1994. It became popularly known as Arnie B’s Chevron.

Reach 10 combats porn addiction through building lines of communication By Miriam Hall for Serve Daily

Arnie Beddoes For 22 years, Beddoes sponsored a car show and cruise annually in September. Each year, an auction was held and the proceeds were given to the Community Action Food Bank. Unfortunately, he had to forego the event the past two years to manage some health challenges. One of the most rewarding parts of Beddoes’ business is the associations he’s made through the years with customers and employees alike. Observing the trials, struggles, joys and accomplishments of others as they live their lives and pass through the convenience store has been very rewarding for Beddoes. He has a great love for people.

My name is Miriam Hall, and as Miss Springville/Mapleton, my pageant service platform is “Education on the Harms of Pornography”. The subject of pornography can be difficult to address, especially among one’s peers. Governor Gary Herbert of Utah said that despite its prevalence, pornography usage “thrives in secrecy and silence” (Enloe, 2016). Reach 10 is a new non-profit organization that focuses on the importance of healthy, meaningful connection to help young adults avoid and recover from pornography addiction. Reach 10 recognizes the difficulty of navigating conversations about pornography. Because of this, they provide tools and resources to aid in addressing this topic with friends or a partner. They are seeking to address questions such as: “How do I talk to my partner about the

effect pornography has had on his or her life?” “I have struggled with pornography addiction for years. How do I talk to my partner about this without scaring him or her off?” “I suspect my friend is struggling with pornography. How can I start a conversation with him or her and still maintain our friendship?” Reach 10’s message is much more than anti-pornography. Reach 10 is founded on and named after the idea that if everyone reached out to ten individuals, then every person would have someone to connect with when difficulties came their way. Communication can start a chain reaction of change. Reach 10 is seeking to eliminate the culture of shame surrounding pornography addiction by sharing stories and by opening up the lines of communication in relationships. You can find tools and resources to aid in addressing pornography in your relationships on reach10.org.

By Jesse Fisher for Serve Daily

Elder D. Todd Christofferson said that "The antithesis and antagonist of Zion is Babylon." So, we can learn about both Zion and Babylon by comparing and contrasting them. I believe that they both are methods of organizing society, but that Zion is the true method, the one God wants for us, and that Babylon is the false. This idea came while pondering the following teachings of early LDS leaders. President George Q. Cannon, counselor to multiple First Presidencies, on May 6, 1883, stated, “The evils under which mankind groan today, are attributable to the false organization of society. The evils under which we groan as a people and from which we suffer are not due to any lack of knowledge... but they are due to the fact that we ourselves fail to conform to the organization which God has prescribed, which God has revealed.” Here we see that President Cannon acknowledged there are two methods of organizing society, “the false organization”, and the true organization that God has “prescribed” for his children's benefit. That prescription by the Lord was given in D&C 78:3-15 where he directed the Saints to organize themselves in a United Order. Apostle John Taylor's comment on August 31, 1875, shed additional light on Cannon's statement above when he said, “Now then, in regard to our temporal affairs, these are the things which seem to

perplex us more or less. We have been brought up in Babylon, and have inherited Babylonish ideas and systems of business; we have introduced, too, among us, all kinds of chicanery, deception and fraud. It is time that these things were stopped, and that matters assumed another shape; it is time that we commenced to place ourselves under the guidance and direction of the Almighty.” The “Babylonish ideas and systems of business” reminds us of Cannon's “false organization of society”. Taylor recommended that we stop engaging in Babylon's ways, and “place ourselves under the guidance and direction of the Almighty”. In other words, let's abandon Babylon for the true organization of society under God's direction. Even earlier, Elder Jedediah M. Grant told how Lucifer has no objection to “the present organization of society”. On February 18, 1854, he said, “The world is more or less controlled all the time by inﬂuences that Lucifer evidently is not opposed to; he has little objection to the present organization of human society, from the fact that everything passes along in the wake that agrees with his religion, and rather tends to forward his purposes.” If Satan is not opposed to “the present organization of human society” then it cannot be the one God wants for us. Given that the opposite of Babylon is Zion, can we not conclude that, as Babylon is the false organization of society, Zion is the true, God-given organization of society? So, instead of putting up with Babylon's garbage, let's reorganize our society into a Zion. To continue the discussion, visit Facebook.com/zionstudygroup.

EDUCATION

Sage Creek Elementary students enchant school board By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily

SPRINGVILLE — Principal Alison Hansen addressed the Nebo School Board of Education at the September board meeting highlighting the rigorous courses at Sage Creek Elementary School. The presentation particularly emphasized the immense success of their Chinese Immersion Program. Chinese teachers Yating Li (American name Polaris Li) and Yongxin Li (American name Yolanda Li) also addressed the school board. Ms. Polaris Li discussed how proud she is of the students and the great progress they have made in mastering such a diﬃcult language. For Chinese immersion students who

continue with the program through sixth grade, their end test results in Chinese proficiency are comparable to that of an LDS returned missionary. The teachers said they help students with pronunciation, reading, writing and fluency. Fifth- and sixth-grade students in attendance danced and sang in Chinese for the Board. They performed two numbers: one was an energetic Chinese fitness song that the students danced to, and the other was a traditional Chinese song. The students taught the Nebo Board of Education the chorus to the latter song and all sang together. The Board was delighted to hear the students sing and see the influence this program has had on students at Sage Creek Elementary.

Mt. Nebo Jr. High helps students in need By Amy Ewell for Serve Daily

SALEM -- Many of the students at Mt. Nebo Jr. High School lack the basic nutrition and school supplies to successfully participate in class on a daily basis. We are currently fed by all Title I elementary schools and so our need is tremendous, with over 50% of our students currently qualifying as economically disadvantaged. At MNJHS, we are constantly working to provide our students with bagged food kits, warm clothing, and even basic school supplies. To meet those needs, MNJHS is excited to announce the creation of an in-school dedicated "Panther Pantry" to help our atrisk, homeless and low-income students.

With the creation of our new Panther Pantry, our students will be able to get free gently used or new clothing, including warm winter coats, bagged food kits so they have food to get them through the weekend and school supplies. School should be a refuge from the storms of poverty. Our students will be able to get some of that extra protection from our new pantry. Anyone interested in donating to the creation and maintenance of the Panther Pantry can visit: https://www.donorschoose.org/project/focus-on-school-nothunger/2807216/.

Mountain Biking is a sport growing in popularity in our local high schools as both a fun and competitive activity. As a member of the Utah High School Cycling League, the Mount Nebo Mountain Biking Team is a composite team from its five high schools; Springville, Payson, Salem Hills, Spanish Fork, and Maple Mountain. Started with 10 student cyclists in 2013, this year the team has 54 student

cyclists and 13 coaches/volunteers Chris Morrill is the Head Coach and Team Director. The team is currently not sanctioned by the Nebo School District and is functioning like a school club. They are working on the approvals to be sanctioned by the school district. Most other teams in the Utah League are a sanctioned High School Sport. The team started practicing for the 2017 season in July and trained three times a week until school started in preparation for the first race. Since the

school year started, they now only practice twice a week. They have five races scheduled for the fall season, which are at Powder Mountain, Snow Basin, High Star Ranch in Kamas, Moab, and State Championships in Cedar City, Utah. The team provides an atmosphere where young people can enjoy their bikes and have fun, or if they want to compete and set goals for improvement they can.

Captain’s Academy empowers athlete’s

Student team captains and leaders from the six high schools and seven junior high schools participated in Captain’s Academy.

By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily

Captains and student leaders from six high schools and seven junior high schools attended the Nebo School District’s Fall Academy. The purpose of the Captains’ Academy is to promote sportsmanship between the schools. This goal is realized through the captains and leaders working together at the academy to promote better relations between the students and athletes, to develop leadership through the academy activities, and to develop relationships with coaches and administrators at academy.

This goal is realized through the captains and leaders working together at the academy to promote better relations between the students and athletes, to develop leadership through the academy activities and to develop relationships with coaches and administrators as they present at each academy. This Fall Captains’ Academy included captains from girls’ soccer, football, cheer, boys’ golf, student government council, volleyball, girls’ tennis and girls’ and boys’ cross country. Each high school sends a captain for each sport. The captains do not sit with their own school; Brodie Berg, a 1990 Oregon State High School Golf Champion, and current firefighter, displays firefighting gear during a discussion about great leaders.

rather, they sit with sports captains and leaders from other junior high and high schools. The captains listen to each presenter, and then work collaboratively to present their position and ideas back to the entire group. District Student Services Coordinator, Troy Bohling, started the academy by welcoming the leaders from across Nebo School District including secondary school administration and athletic directors. Michelle Best, with Intermountain Healthcare, talked with the leaders about healthy lifestyles and especially how important sleep is in staying healthy. Ath-

letes are more prone to health issues and anxiety because of lack of sleep. Brodie Berg, a 1990 Oregon State High School Golf Champion, and current firefighter, led a discussion about great leaders. He emphasized that great leaders have character. Talent is a gift but character is a choice. Brodie also mentioned that great leaders are competent, accomplish more than others, inspire others, are generous, build relationships, take responsibility and have passion, to name a few attributes. ABC 4 sports director, Wes Ruff, introduced Sportsmanship. Wesley grew up in Springville and enjoys golf. His message included the importance of character, attitude and having pride in your team. Steve Dudley, athletic director at Spanish Fork High, led a discussion on sportsmanship and reporting. The various sports captains took the word “sportsmanship” and came up with descriptors for each letter and reported back to the group. Troy Bohling, student services coordinator and organizer of these academies, said, “Captains’ Academy has provided a powerful forum for athletes and school leaders to discuss and implement essential leadership traits and the value of great sportsmanship as well as how to be safe and avoid unnecessary injuries.” Thank you to Laura Salazar, Communications Director at Intermountain Healthcare, for the delicious lunch.

A leader knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

Be your own Hero Special Ed Extravaganza other adults were treated to a lunch of pizza. One of the young men sitting by me asked for help with putting his straw into his drink, and needed help with his potato chip bag. When he took his drink from me, some of the juice spilled onto the bench, and he was so careful to take his napkin and wipe it up. Then he handed me the used napkin to put in the garbage for him. He has been trained well, and his parents can be proud of him. One of the participants was a darkskinned student with braids coiled around her head. Everyone kept referring to her as “she.” Finally, she reminded us that she was not a girl but a boy. How refreshing to interact with a youth who is proud of his gender, and who he is. He earned a ribbon, and after receiving it, he folded his arms, bowed his head, and closed his eyes. I suspect he was saying thanks.

Ammon Allred shows his joy at getting a strike while bowling. By Janice Helmick for Serve Daily

SPANISH FORK — Ammon Allred, who is confined to a wheelchair, bent over as far as possible and rolled the bowling ball into the pins ahead of him. When he realized he had knocked them down all at once, his face lit up and he expressed his joy with a yell. His coach joined in his happiness, high-fiving him and patting him on the back. Ammon attends Payson Junior High, in Payson, Utah. The Special Education Extravaganza was held Wednesday, September 20, at Diamond Fork Junior High in Spanish Fork, Utah. What began as a dream to have a special needs class participate in an intramural program, the Extravaganza has become an anticipated district-wide event that involves every junior high school special needs student in the Nebo School District. Each year, for the past 11 years the Extravaganza has become more popular, larger and has more to offer. Eventually, this program developed into a peer tutor conference involving numerous students from a host school as well as from each junior high in the district. This year’s theme “Be Your Own Hero” was printed on T-shirts given to each student. Coach Linda Jones Lewis is one of the founders of the event. She worked as a teacher in the Nebo School District for 40 years. She has been retired for five

years, but she still organizes this event every year. When we first met her, she was talking to the peer tutors from Miss Holly Averett’s first-period Character Education class. She told the tutors “remember, this is not about you, it is about them.” There were 110 peer tutors who coached the 102 special needs students from the seven junior high schools. There were 14 stations set up for the event, four of which were outside. These four outside events were the softball throw, 100-meter run, running long jump and high jump. Awards for the best achievements in the outside activities were given at the end of the event. Inside the gym, the special needs students could have their nails painted, go fishing at the fish pond, have their faces painted, go bowling and much more. I found the special needs students were friendly and excited about the event. The fish pond was a great place to be sitting. Some of these students did not understand how to throw the clothespin over the drape, and their coaches took time to show them, and help them as necessary. It was wonderful to see the joy when they pulled that fish line back on their side and found a frisbee or a necklace or a kazoo attached to it. Those kazoos were everyone’s favorite. What a joyful noise was heard all day. At 11:30, the students at Diamond Fork were dismissed for lunch, and the special needs students ate the sack lunches they had brought with them. The teachers and

Aviation photos are donated to ALC’s new aviation program By Janice Helmick for Serve Daily

The Advanced Learning Center (ALC) provides early college and career courses to Nebo School District students, offering a wide variety of advanced learning opportunities. One of these courses is Aviation, taught by Mark Halls who is a former pilot at Diamond Flight Center at the Springville/Spanish Fork Airport. Recently the ALC had an open house which my husband, Ed, and I attended. One of the classrooms we visited was Mark’s Aviation classroom. We had a chance to speak with Mark, and he told us he was looking for aviation photographs to put on the walls but was having a hard time finding them. When we closed Diamond Flight Center in September of 2015, we carefully wrapped the photos of our aircraft in plastic in the hope that they would one day grace the walls of another aviation class-

room. As we were driving away from the ALC, Ed reminded me of the photos we had so carefully preserved and asked if we could donate them to Mark and his students. I immediately agreed. On Tuesday afternoon, September 19, we drove to our storeroom, uncovered seven photos and then we drove to the ALC. We checked in at the office to see if Mark was there, and when we told the receptionist that we had photos for his classroom, she said he was at the school, suggested we park near his classroom door and take the photos to him. She was as excited as we were. As we parked, Mark and several students walked out of the classroom followed by the receptionist who had a camera. We gave the photos to the students, and Ed had his picture taken with the students and photos. Those wonderful photos are now gracing the walls of another aviation classroom and an inspiration to fly.

An ALC student project By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily

SALEM — The Nebo School District Advanced Learning Center, located at 161 East 400 North in Salem, provides learning opportunities limited only by your imagination. In August, the facility had a ribbon cutting dedication ceremony. In September, the facility had an open house for the general public. This is a very visually and mentally stimulating facility. We are lucky to have the Advanced Learning Center in our South Utah County neighborhood. When you enter the building you will find a glass display chamber to your left. For the open house, the display was the first project for the Engineering Design Class. It was an eye-catching and unique visual display. The manikins were made out of what appeared to be wrinkled clear cellophane catch your attention as soon as you glance in the direction of the display. The bodies of manikins were made by the students. But this is not an art class, it is an engineering design class, the student challenge was to design a new and improved student backpack. Each shiny and cellophane looking manikin was wearing a backpack with notations as to the design improvements. The back wall of the display presented various design drawings of backpacks. The instructor for this Advanced Learning Center class is Khristen Massic. Before you get into the main hall of the

Larsen video celebrates 30 years By Karen Willoughby for Serve Daily

SPRINGVILLE – Leon Larsen says he has no idea why people keep coming to Larsen Video, 30 years after it opened in October 1987. Though not as busy as it was in the early years of the video industry, he still sees a steady stream of customers Tuesdays through Saturdays. “I’ll tell you what they tell me,” Larsen told Serve Daily, referring to his customers. “They like to look at all the movies. They like to talk with someone about them. And they like a small store more than Redbox.” Larsen has 8,500 titles and continues each month buying new ones. He gets them the day they are released to the public, which is about a month before Redbox gets them, he added. Included in the store’s offerings are VHS tapes as well as DVD and Blu-Ray videos. Some date to the store’s opening. “In 1987 it was videotapes,” Larsen said as he wandered through the store located at 25 N. Main, at the intersection of Hwy 89/State Street. “Most kids under 40 don’t own VCRs anymore.” He rented movies then for $2.58/day, when “The average cost then of a movie was $89.95. Yeah. The Lost Boys. That was one that was $89.95. Pollyanna was $79; all the Disney movies were that much. That was good for us. People weren’t buying movies then.” He rents movies now for the same price as he did back then, in part because he doesn’t have the overhead he did 30 years ago. The store is paid for. The cost of videos has come down. He doesn’t have the number of employees he used to. “We used to have eight employees here, Fridays and Saturdays,” Larsen said. Now the store closes early those two nights. The movies at Larsen’s are two-for-theprice-of-one Mondays through Fridays, and three-for-the-price-of-one on Saturdays, because the store is closed Sundays and Mondays. Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. He doesn’t buy used videos, but on occasion he sells extra copies and slow-movers. He buys new releases based on what he thinks his family-oriented clientele would like.

“After you’ve done this for 30 years, you get a feel for it,” Larsen said with a grin. “PG13 does better than R-rated.” Larsen’s non-tech way of doing business hasn’t changed. He keeps the video jacket in the racks, fronted by a small square of white cardboard on which is a code that tells him when he bought the video and where it can be found on the shelves. Customers take the white card for the video they want to rent to the front counter, where Larsen keeps the actual videos. This not only keeps the store orderly: no misfiled videos; it negates the shoplifting specter, which cuts down on overhead. Larsen’s keeps the new releases in one, two-wall section. Non-new-release comedies are nearby on another two walls. Around the corner: action, adventure, family and even a section of VHS tapes. Even more important: walk in with the name of a movie you want to rent and Larsen will walk right to it. The first video rental store started in 1977 in Los Angeles, shortly after 20th Century Fox licensed 50 of its movies for sale directly to consumers. By 1985, there were 15,000 video rental stores across the nation, according to an article published by Associated Press. But by about 2005, rent-by-mail and, later, online streaming of movies sounded the rapid demise of most video stores. Massive chains like BlockBuster and Hollywood Video have withered. Larsen Video didn’t miss a beat. “Getting into the video rental business was my wife’s idea,” Larsen said. He had worked at Geneva Steel for 25 years and was downsized when new owners came in. Leon and Carolyn had five children and needed income. “We talked about what to do,” Larsen said. “We liked movies, felt like we had an interest in the business, so we opened a place on Main Street.” But there was no parking at their first location, and a “movie house” was nearby, so they cast about for another option. A tanning salon was using half the building Larsen Video currently owns. They bought that property and have kept it in much the same condition as it was after three weeks of renovation. All that’s different is a display for Metro PCS, a no-contract telephone service that

Larsen Video recently celebrated 30 years of service to Springville customers. starts at $30/month and includes buying a telephone. Several varieties are available. One that costs $39 is “a lot more for the same phone from T-Mobile,” Larsen said. Larsen Video also contracts for T-Mobile. All five of their children worked over the years at Larsen’s Video, teaching them responsibility and a solid work ethic.

Today, for the most part, Leon and Carolyn work without the addition of employees. “I’m working more hours now than I have in years, but I still like it,” Larsen said. “I have no plans to do anything else.”

This is 20 OurYear!

Nebo School District is BOM By Lauren Bush for Serve Daily

Nebo School District was awarded “Business of the Month” by the Spanish Fork and Salem Chamber of Commerce in September. “We are so thrilled that Spanish Fork and Salem Chamber has given us this honor,” Lana Hiskey, Communications and Community Relations Administrator, said. “We want to be good partners, and we really do appreciate Spanish Fork City.” As a part of this honor, the Chamber of Commerce cited Nebo’s work in empowering students for the future.

World Trade Center grants help local businesses go global By World Trade Center Utah for Serve Daily

International business is an important part of Utah’s economy. In 2016, Utah exported more than $12 billion worth of goods and services. Approximately 3,500 companies export from Utah, and 22 percent of all Utah jobs are supported by international business. Even more impressive is the fact that Utah ranks sixth in the nation for export growth over the last decade. Imagine that, a small landlocked state’s exports are growing at a faster rate than 44 other states. None of this success would be possible without strategic international expansion from Utah companies both large and small. The mission of World Trade Center Utah (WTC Utah) is to help Utah businesses think, act and succeed globally. In an ever-globalized world, looking beyond state and national borders is key to staying competitive. Especially considering 95 percent of the world’s consumers live outside of the U.S., 92 percent of economic growth comes from outside of the U.S. and 80 percent of the world’s purchasing power is located outside of the U.S. WTC Utah offers consultations and market research to companies looking to go global free of charge. This is made possible thanks to generous support from WTC Utah members and the state legislature. Businesses interested in accessing these services should connect with WTC Utah’s trade services team.

Other services WTC Utah offers include educational seminars, diplomatic luncheons, grants and trade missions. On October 9, applications will open for the State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) Grant. This program is funded in part through a grant with the U.S. Small Business Administration. The STEP Grant provides up to $15,000 in funding to eligible companies to help them grow internationally through attending a trade mission, trade show, obtaining translation services, designing international marketing campaigns, etc. Interested companies must apply at www. wtcutah.com between October 9 and 31. October is a big month for internationalists in Utah thanks to the Utah Global Forum. The Global Forum is the state’s premier international business event hosted by Gov. Herbert. It will be held on October 17 at The Grand America Hotel. The theme is Prosperity Through Diversity. In addition to the Governor’s remarks, the forum will feature two nationally renowned experts: CNN Correspondent Ana Navarro and U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce President Javier Palomarez. Those interested in attending can visit www.utahglobalforum.com. The opportunities and resources for global expansion have never been more plentiful. Trade is good for Utah, and companies in the state are well positioned to succeed in global markets. There is no better time to export than now, and no better place to get started than Utah.

What do you do after running Adam Up Accounting a successful business? opens Payson office By Janice Helmick for Serve Daily

Looking for a new goal after finding business success? The answer is to help others succeed and that is the current passion of Christy Clark. Clark’s first business was a photography studio, Cheapshots. At one time she had 25 employees and took photos from Salt Lake City to St. George. Clark became close friends with a woman who worked for a neighboring business, and when the owner decided to sell, the friend was afraid she would lose her job. She was 77 years old and didn’t know if she could find another job. Clark bought the neighboring business so she could keep her friend working and successfully ran the two businesses as separate entities. She has also has owned a clothing boutique, been an author and a health coach. She refers to herself as self-taught in everything from playing the piano to

photography to running a successful business. Clark has also been a student of human behavioral psychology as it applies to business and personal achievement. She has been blessed with the vision to help others run their own business. At this time in her life, she aspires to be a motivational speaker. Clark has joined forces with Jamis O’Brien who owns the Food Forever Foundation. His goal is to purchase farms across the nation and grow the food to distribute to those who cannot afford to purchase their food. The farms will be self-sustaining and donate the excess food. The foundation currently owns a farm in Arkansas and one in Missouri. O’Brien believes that if each family in the nation donated $10 per month he could solve U.S. hunger and begin working with other countries. This sounds like a worthy concept to be followed up on. Christy Clark, another amazing person in our community serving daily to help others.

Take a drive on the highest road in Utah By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily

The highest road that is paved in Utah is the Mirror Lake Highway, Utah 150, which crosses Bald Mountain Pass, 10,715 above sea level. The highest paved road along the Wasatch Front is the Mount Nebo Loop Road that climbs to 9,353 feet above sea level at the Monument Trail Head. The highest gravel road is Forest Service Road 123 in the Fishlike National Forest at High Ridge between Marysvale and Beaver, Utah that reaches an elevation of 11,500 feet above sea level. A couple of weeks ago we drove two hours south of Utah County to visit the Fremont Indian State Park and Museum and then crossed south of I-70 to venture into the Tushar Mountains of Fishlake National Forest.

Twelve miles down Forest Service Road 113 we came to the silver King Mine which was established by Spanish Fork resident Brigham Daniel Darger. It was a working gold mine and home to his wife and 10 children. We Continued south until we connected with Forest Service Road 123 that took us to the summit of High Ridge. The roads were all typical dirt and gravel forest service roads. The road was not challenging, but was a scenic and twisty road that kept our attention. This was classic alpine country, complete with light rain and fog at the top of the pass the day we drove it. The road did get muddy, and I was thankful for four-wheel drive. We ended up in Beaver on I-70 for the trip back home and the end of another wonderful day of discovery.

Class Ropes Course is one of nation’s best By Janice Helmick for Serve Daily

CLAS Ropes Course is an adventure park on West Center Street in Provo nestled in a park-like setting on the Lower Provo River. In fact, it is one of the nation’s best. The name CLAS is an acronym for Challenging Leadership Adventure Systems. Its real purpose is more than fun; it is therapeutic and mind changing. CLAS Ropes Course is an experience for personal development as shown by their mission statement. It reads, “Our mission is to improve personal effectiveness and group dynamics through comprehensive experiential challenges.” People learn more through experience than any other method of learning. The aim of CLAS Ropes Course is to allow the participants to view themselves as competent and capable. Each course is based on the belief that anyone who really tries will succeed. CLAS Ropes is a unique series of team building exercises CLAS was built by Benjamin Allen. He is a licensed Therapeutic Recreation Specialist with a Master’s degree in Recreation Management from Brigham Young University. CLAS Ropes was constructed beginning in 1993 and its features and activities have been added every year since. It is just one of many ropes courses built by Benjamin throughout the country.

Spooky holiday decorations and 100 hand carved jack-o-lanterns reflecting in the river add to the experience. The Captain of the boat tells a few stories in the spirit of Halloween. It sounds like a fun night on the river. The price is $8 per person. They do a similar event in December with a Christmas theme. Visit clasropes.com or call 801-373-8897 for more information.

SPRINGVILLE — In honor of our servicemen and women past and present, the Springville Senior Center will host a special Veterans Day program on Wednesday, November 1, at 6:00 p.m. The event will be held at the Senior Center, 65 E. 200 S. Following a color guard ceremony, Dr. James C. Brau, the Joel C. Peterson Professor of Finance at BYU; a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point; and a former Airborne Ranger Infantry oﬃcer (Regular Army, Florida National Guard, and Army Reserves), will speak on patriotism. The Provo Interfaith Choir will present a musical program including patriotic songs. The choir began in 2014 as a collaboration between several religious denominations in central Utah Valley as a way to bring people together through music. Under the direction of Dave Lewis, the choir performs uplifting and seasonal music for various community events, including patriotic concerts and

worship services and participated in the Utah Valley National Day of Prayer held at UVU in June of 2016.

A mouth-watering recap of restaurant favorites Lomito Argentinto at Siro’s is love at first bite.

By Amy Baird for Serve Daily

It’s been a while since we’ve done a recap so let’s take a look back at the past nine months of restaurant favorites, shall we? Leslie’s Family Tree Leslie’s combined scones the size of a loaf of French bread with ghosts. Kind of perfect for Halloween. You can do a late-night dinner and ghost tour, or you can just try their yummy homemade soup with one of the giant scones. That sounds good with the weather getting colder. Another favorite for me was the chick-

en fried steak with mashed potatoes. If you want good old-fashioned homecooked comfort food, this is where you go. You can follow them on Facebook and check out their specials. Also, don’t forget weekends they have live music. Leslie’s Family Tree is located at 77 W. Main in Santaquin. Siro’s Place Siro’s Place introduced me to Argentine cuisine and it was love at ﬁrst bite. Their sandwiches are yummy and served on crusty French bread. My favorite was the Lomito Argentino which had steak, ham, cheese, and two fried eggs. And

don’t forget their chimichurri sauce that I wanted to dip everything in. So yummy. They also have their signature empanadas with a variety of fillings. I follow them on Facebook and they’ve been offering new specials including steak dinners so you’ll want to check it out. Siro’s is located at 575 N. State Road 198 in Salem right by Zu Wire Fitness. Cabana Cabana introduced me to jumping steak, or Lomo Saltado. This crazy delicious stir-fried, perfectly seasoned steak on a bed of French fries. Oh my goodness. I need to go back now. The enchiladas were pretty delicious. And the salsa bar gave the entrees a lot of variety. I loved the avocado based one. Cabana is located at 75 S. Main Street in Payson Pepe’s Grill Pepe’s has these amazing street tacos that are just perfection. Pepe’s started out as a stand at Fiesta Days, but due to popularity, they opened a permanent location. The nachos are scrumptious with a generous portion of tortilla chips, cheese, meat, guacamole, sour cream and salsa. You could feed a few people with one. I enjoyed the specialty street tacos. I love me a good fish taco. Pepe’s Grill is located at 747 N. Main in Spanish Fork Hobble Creek Coffee Shop was a pleasure. I became a huge fan of eggs benedict with the English muffins, ham and perfect poached egg. And that sauce. I could drink the sauce. It probably wouldn’t be healthy, but I could. I also loved the omelets and French toast. My friend Tracy still raves about the coffee and has become a regular there. And with cold weather coming, you can’t beat their hot chocolate and steamers. Hobble Creek Coffee Grill is located at 388 North Main Street, Springville, Utah. Strap Tank Strap Tanki just had delicious food. I enjoyed everything that I tried and the portions were pretty big. The ambiance is great and I love the vintage biker feel. The steak salad was beautifully presented with perfect tender steak. The fish and chips were scrumptious. Hamburgers were juicy and had great toppings. Their fries were yummy too. Strap Tank is located at 1750 West 597 South, Springville Utah. Rowley’s Red Barn Rowley’s introduced me to the apple cider slush which combines that crisp, frozen apple cider with ice cream. It is pretty refreshing and the perfect frozen fruity

Utah Valley University cut down the nets on Wednesday, September 13, to officially open the NUVI Basketball Center, a new practice and conditioning facility to house its men's and women's basketball teams. The 14,500-square-foot facility was funded entirely by private donations and sponsorships totaling approximately $4.4 million, including a lead donation from NUVI chairman and CEO Keith Nellesen. "The NUVI Basketball Center is one of the best practice facilities in the WAC," said UVU athletic director Vince Otoupal. "It will help our basketball programs continue to pursue success both on the court and in the classroom. The facility changes the way our student-athletes and coaches approach their craft and will make our programs better. We are excited about our continuing partnership with NUVI and the Nellesens with the Melisa Nellesen Autism Center, Cole Nellesen Autism Building, the NUVI Social Media Command Center, and now this amazing basketball facility. UVU is better because of our partnership with NUVI." The NUVI Basketball Center includes 8,000 square feet of court space, named the Ryan Toolson Practice Court, and nine basketball standards, with "gameday atmosphere" graphics to match the UCCU Center environment. The new Travis Hansen Strength and Conditioning Center includes roughly 1,300 square feet, with custom-made 9-foot high racks, dumbbells up to 125 pounds and an array of power and conditioning tools. The room opens up directly onto the Ryan Toolson Practice Court. A mezzanine level overlooks the court and includes the Roger Fields Family Basketball Offices — 3,000 square feet of office space split into suites for the men's and women's coaching staff. Each suite features a large office for each head coach that can double as a conference room and offices for three assistant coaches and basketball operations. "This University provides opportunity and promotes student success," said UVU men's basketball coach Mark Pope. "It is a place where students raise their

faculties and broaden their minds. This building does that very thing for our student-athletes." "The NUVI Basketball Center will have an immeasurable impact on our day-to-day function and growth as a program," said UVU women's basketball coach Cathy Nixon. "Just giving our girls somewhere to come any time to shoot and work on their game is a huge diﬀerence maker. We're so grateful for the many people involved in funding, planning and building this facility to help us in our quest to win championships." The UVU men's and women's basketball teams will begin practice in the NUVI Basketball Center for this upcoming season. The new facility will help prepare the men's basketball team for its upcoming games at Kentucky and at Duke in back-to-back nights on November 10-11, which has been called "the toughest 24 hours in college basketball." "This beautiful facility will be a basketball factory that will facilitate our players in chasing their biggest possible dreams," Pope said. "The NUVI Basketball Center fully equips our program to prepare our players to win WAC championships and earn NCAA tournament bids. This facility is also a symbol of tremendous support from the Utah Valley community. It's a game changer." Major gift support for the facility was also received from: • Utah Community Credit Union • Ryan Toolson, former UVU basketball player, now playing in Europe • WCF Insurance • Todd Pedersen, founder and CEO of Vivint • Alexander's Print Advantage • Travis Hansen, former UVU and NBA basketball player • Forte Elements • Roger Fields

Springville Playhouses Noises Off is a must-see By Janice Helmick for Serve Daily

SPRINGVILLE — First things first, if you like slapstick comedy (Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin), you will love this production of "Noises Off". Secondly, the sardines were the scene stealer in the first act because you were constantly watching to see where they were, and what trouble they would get into next. This is a hilarious way to spend the evening. You will laugh until you are exhausted. The director, Connie Warenski, was sitting behind us, and must have noticed that I was constantly laughing. I mentioned to her that I loved the second act, and she told me the third act tied the whole thing up, but I think they could have ended after the second act. It is perfectly choreographed and runs very smoothly. The action with the ax is perfect, and the coordination between the actors was amazing. You need to see it to believe it. I usually have a favorite character, but not this time. Each character was perfectly portrayed, and the different personal-

ities understood. Starr Williamson, who played Brooke Ashton, made wonderful use of “What!” That response always brought laughter from the crowd. Again, you need to see it to believe it. My husband, Ed made the comment that he wondered what “Noises Off” was all about. It is about a play rehearsal. Much of the comedy emerges from the subtle variations in each act as character flaws play off each other off-stage to undermine on-stage performance, with a great deal of slapstick. Ed and I commented that we would go again just to see the second act. Thanks, Springville Playhouse for a wonderful evening. “Noises Off” can be seen at Merit College Preparatory Academy, 1440 W Center St., Springville on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays through October 7. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the performance starts at 7:30. Tickets are $10 for General Admission and $8 for Students and Seniors.

OPINION

The Cadillac Tax By Drew Johnson, Taxpayers Protection Alliance and Michael Melendez, Libertas Institute There’s nothing worse than being tricked. That’s exactly what the so-called “Cadillac tax” is: a deceptively named trick that will utterly destroy what is left of America’s private employer-based insurance market. During the run-up to the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the Cadillac tax was hailed as an amazing Robin Hood scheme. It would supposedly take money from those evil rich people who had somehow managed to garner exorbitantly fancy health insurance for themselves and sprinkle that cash around to everyone else. Like most political promises, the plan falls flat under closer examination. Rather than targeting the rich, the Cadillac tax – which is scheduled to take effect in 2020 – will be a blow to almost every single American who receives health insurance through an employer. In total, as many as 177 million Americans stand to pay more for

their health coverage, face reduced benefits, or both. The Cadillac tax will hit Utah harder than almost any other state in the nation. A stunning 59 percent of the Beehive State’s population relies on employer-based health insurance for their coverage – only New Hampshire has a higher percentage of residents served by workplace health insurance than Utah. In total, 1.8 million Utahns’ health insurance may be in jeopardy thanks to the Cadillac tax. When the hammer drops in 2020, health insurance plans valued at more than $10,800 for individuals and $29,100 for a family will trigger a 40 percent tax paid by employers. The Cadillac tax must be stopped before it harms countless Utahns who depend upon their employer-based health insurance. The solution lies with our elected officials: Congress must pass legislation to repeal this horrific tax and get it on President Trump’s desk as soon as possible.
