Understanding and curing addictions

Spanish Fork businesses pay forward by giving car and gifts to local residentBy Chris Baird, Springville resident

The time is here! After all of the hard work, a car is built and ready to give away with a trunk full of gifts. The annual luncheon and auto giveaway was on Friday December 20th at Robarge Collision in Spanish Fork.

This is a true act of charity. Serve Daily would like to thank all individuals and companies that participated in this act that will bless thousands of lives. To mention a handful of companies: Robarge Collision, Wiggy Wash, Dickerson Automotive, and Barber Brothers.

Jo-Ellyn Booker and her son LJ Walker were the ever grateful unsuspecting recipients of this gift.

A luncheon was organized to award LJ an award and then they were told that there was more, but that they would have to follow the group outside

to find out what it was. This was a great experience to be at and watch a mother be touched and full of thanks to Jesus and those who gave her the gifts.

Booker is always involved in community service. She cooks for the homeless and helps addicts on the road to recovery. She leads previously incarcerated individuals through prayer and needs based assessment to re-entry for housing. She drives for the UTA, but more importantly she will be able to use her new dependable vehicle to “move” lives to better places physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

LJ Walker is a 20 year old young man who has Downs Syndrome, LJ loves sports and Batman. He is a big Utah Jazz fan and loves everything to do with sports. He likes books about sports, basketball, football and baseball cards. He loves

his goatee, but most importantly through his child-like faith he has taught his mother how to trust Jesus.

Speaking with Booker about addictions we discussed that every one of us has our addictions. Whether it be over eating, over working, drugs, pornography, hobbies, etc. Whatever it is you have addictions to you must overcome. Just because it may not be to substances doesn’t make them any less deadly or dangerous.

LIBERTY SHALL BE MAINTAINED

The Constitution of the USA2 | Serve Daily January 2014

“ Private property shall not be taken or damaged for public

use without just compensation.”

~Article I, Section 22, Utah Constitution

GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT IN MARRIAGE VIOLATES MANY RIGHTS

Understanding LibertyBy Casey Beres - Springville Resident

Given two recent court rulings concerning marriage in Utah, both declaring Utah marriage bans unconstitutional, I wish to discuss the problems of having government involved in marriage. Solutions to the problem will be discussed next month.

The problem with government involvement in the marriage process is that it allows government to violate a plethora of our rights as individuals, organizations, and businesses. Among those violated is our right of association, our contractual rights, our right of conscience/religious rights, especially our First Amendment religious rights, and our right to control our honestly acquired property, including businesses. I will highlight how our religious rights and our property rights are violated when government is involved in marriage in the aforementioned ways.

Allowing government to decide what is and is not an “officially recognized” marriage, or allowing government to define “marriage” is in effect giving the state the power to make laws respecting an establishment of religion, which is constitutionally prohibited. Here’s how it breaks down:

Marriage has always been a religious institution first and foremost, and has only involved the civil power in countries that have state religions or in countries that have separation of church and state but have sought to forbid marriages between certain individuals, mostly upon unjust discriminatory grounds. Today, there still remains a firm foundation of religion in the marriage equation. In the eyes of the LDS religion, marriage predates human govern-ment and is solely a thing between the married man and woman and God. Mormons believe any marriage not ordained of God and performed in His way will not be binding in the afterlife, no matter how many human government’s sanction it. Religion is still a part of the marriage issue. Upon religious matters, government may not speak nor act. But when government can decide who may

and may not “marry” by requiring official government sanction of marriage via required government “marriage licenses,” govern-ment is in effect given power to define what is and what is not an official “marriage,” religiously, which means they are dictating by law a religious belief, telling religions and religious individuals what they must accept and not accept and believe religiously as pertaining to “marriage.”

When government says “marriage is A,” but a certain religion says “to us, marriage is only B,” government is in effect saying to that religion that they must believe marriage to be either BOTH A and B, or ONLY A if government has banned “marriage B.” Such laws respect the establishment of religion, creating the scaffolding for a state religion in establishing state religious tenets for everyone to believe. We’ve started to see those government religious tenets forced upon individuals contrary to their own religious beliefs in both Colorado and New Mexico.

Government involvement in marriage also gives the state the power to prohibit people and religious groups from practicing their religion freely, meaning some are forbidden from “marrying” individuals according to their religious beliefs, and/or having their contractual relationship recognized by the state as an official contract because it doesn’t meet the government definition of a “marriage.” Government even criminally penalizes those that practice their religious definition of “marriage,” even when no one’s rights are violated, simply because it goes against government’s definition of “marriage.”

Government involvement in marriage also destroys one’s right to control his property, including business, via anti-discrimination laws that extend to private businesses. These anti-discrimination laws prevent business owners from discriminating against certain classes of people deemed “protected” by government, both in the hiring and firing process, and in service toward customers, while allowing other forms of discrimination. These laws were born

out of the 20th Century Civil Rights movement, the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and the Supreme Court case Heart of Atlanta Motel V. United States, which had good intentions in eradicating government discrimination, yet harmed property rights in extending to private property owners, too.

What supporters of these laws are in effect claiming is that they have a right either to the service of the owner or his business’s goods, which are both his property and his alone. One of course has a right to the owner’s goods/services if he has formed a voluntary contract with the owner and provides compensation for the goods/service, but he has no right TO a contract with the owner against the owners consent, regardless of the reason, nor has he the right to force the owner into a contract via law. This is what current anti-discrimination laws do to private businesses.

If government can step in and dictate to the owner of the business, which is his property and his alone (in theory at least) how he must control his property, including to whom he must enter into business contracts with, no matter the reason, it cannot be said that he truly owns and controls the property. In such a situation, the government has forced its way into his business as a dictatorial partner, without the owner’s consent. Such is our situation in America. We have no true private property; we only have quasi-socialized property in America, joint ownership between private individuals/groups and government.

GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT IN MARRIAGE VIOLATES MANY RIGHTS

THE NEXT STEP: TAKE GOVERNMENT OUT OF MARRIAGE

By Cynthia Peacockand Janeene WhitelockPayson Residents

A new Pioneer Museum was dedicated in Payson, June 5, 1982. It was the result of much planning, work, and cooperation for over 50 years. The first Daughter of Utah Pioneer Camp in Payson was organized on May 19, 1922.

The DUP camps were successful in getting two large cabinets built in the Jr. High School opposite Memorial Park in 1928, where other pioneer relics were preserved for more than fifty years. Still other relics were being kept in homes, waiting the acquiring of a permanent resting place for them.

In the fall of 1979, Jerrline Anderson, DUP relic chairman of the Peteetneet Camp was made aware of the possibility of space for a museum in the old hospital, which had been purchased for the remodeling into a civic center. The DUP officers presented this proposal to the city council. This proposal and their request for space was accepted July 23, 1980. Under the direction of Jerrline Anderson, work moved forward.

One of the unique features of this newly planned museum was to have an original pioneer cabin built within it.

The cabin selected was donated by the Marion

and Sylvia Black family.This pioneer cabin was located one half block

from the Peteetneet School and was deeded to the Payson DUP in 1980. The property where the cabin was located had been deeded to David Crockett, the first mayor of Payson, who served from 1853 to 1858.

On a cold winter day the cabin was carefully labeled, dismantled, and moved from its original location to the museum in the city center located at 439 West Utah Avenue, Payson.

The cabin was reassembled in the museum by Wayne Pickering, Jim Reese, and Bl i s s Elmer. They were assisted b y J a c k Provstgaard, Arther Elmer, and Dave Sorenson. Every log had to be

fitted into its original position. In a few instances pieces were wither missing or too deteriorated to be reused. Similar ones from other old structures were carefully used to replace them. Special care was taken to insure authenticity.

A new rock fireplace was built for heat and cooking, and the cabin is furnished with necessary items used in a pioneer home: a corded bed, a cupboard built in 1851, and a rocky chair built in Payson.

Come visit the museum on Wednesdays between 1 pm and 4 pm or by appointment by calling (801) 465-2044 or (801) 465-9858.

Westside Elementary Penny Wars reaches new heightsBy Monica Bair

During the week of December 9th-13th, students at Westside Elementary participated in the Penny Wars.

The Penny Wars were a way to raise funds through a school-wide competition. Each grade level competed by earning points, or bringing pennies. One point equaled one penny, whereas a dollar bill equaled 100 points. Other classes, however, could bring silver change to counteract

the positive penny points.On Tuesday, December 17th, the student council

who helped count the money and organize the penny wars, presented a check to Dave Smith, the food bank manager from Community in Action, for more than $3,400.

Prior to this fundraising activity, the most money ever brought in by the school had been around $1,600.

cans of food for local food banks. All monetary donations are contributed to Teen Challenge USA, a Christian life school accepting men and women of all ages suffering from addiction. The last graduating Understanding and Curing Addictions class donated over $1300 dollars to Teen Challenge of Southern California.

Class graduates look forward to each new session of class. They bring their friends and family members because they want to share their

healing experience with others. “Families who have experienced addiction need healing as well. Rebuilding the relationships within the family are of upmost importance. As addicts begin a new lifestyle, they need a bridge that supports integration into their community. Healing the individual, heals the family and changes the community in which they live. One affects the other. When one aspect of an individual changes, the whole is affected. And that,” says Amadon, “is my reward.”

As addicts begin a new lifestyle, they need a bridge that supports integration into their community. Healing the individual, heals the family and changes the community in which they live. One affects the other. When one aspect of an individual changes, the whole is affected. And that,” says Amadon, “is my reward.”

Landmark students and staff celebrate Thanksgiving dinnerSubmitted By Brian Davenport

Landmark High School in Spanish Fork Utah, held their third annual Thanksgiving Dinner. There were several students, and faculty that help put the meal together. There were a wide range of foods to eat, including mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, and turkey.

Joe Kelly, principal of Landmark High, talked about we need to be thankful, and then carved the ceremonial thanksgiving turkey.

The faculty then served the students, as they went through the lines to get their food.

After all the student, faculty and staff had been through the line and we were all seated, I noticed the happiness and joy in the room, and it wasn’t just the great food, that was being consumed that day, and it was more than being able to sit next to your friends, it was the whole school being able to gather together, to eat, to talk and bond as a family.

Instilling values in the youth through the D.A.R.E. programSubmitted By Trisha Olsen On Thursday, December 20, East Meadows 5th graders became D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) graduates. Officer Zac Robinson welcomed family and friends as he commended the 5th graders for completing their 10-week educational training. In order to receive their graduation certificates, students participated in class discussions and activities, learned songs, and wrote thoughtful essays on why it is important to stay away from drugs and other harmful substances.

The vision of D.A.R.E. is to create, “A world in which students everywhere are empowered to respect others and choose to lead lives free from violence, substance abuse, and other dangerous behaviors.” The D.A.R.E. program teaches students good decision-making skills to help them lead safe and responsible lives. Additionally, it establishes positive relationships between students and law enforcement, teachers, parents, and other

community leaders. Every youngster should have the opportunity to

grow-up healthy, safe, secure, and equipped with the skills needed to succeed in life.” Outstanding D.A.R.E. essay winners are: Brennen Carter, Billy Hall, Alivia Winkel, Emily Haroldsen, Jessi Mangum, Maisy Reid, Naiya Gardner, Cadence Hew-len, Parker Simpson, Kayla Clark Lauren Rasmussen, and Alissa Simmons.

Two students from each class were selected as the Outstanding D.A.R.E. student. From Mrs. Charla Andersen’s class, Tracee Jones and Jakob White. Mrs. Annalyse Anderson’s class, Evan Glazier and Malorie Porter. Mrs. Hogle’s class, Alyssa Beardall and Nathan Smith. Mrs. Morrow’s class, Ryen Hansbrow and Andrew Holley.

Congratulations to all the 5th grade students on graduating from this program. We also thank Officer Zac Robinson and the 5th grade teachers for their time in this worthwhile program.

children in our local communities.This is the seventh year that Bank of American

Fork’s Spanish Fork Office and Spanish Fork High School’s Letterman Club have partnered to gather Bears.

On Monday December 16th The High School Lettermen and their advisors Al Albright and

Sharla Barber delivered the Bears collected to the bank. The total bears collected through the High School efforts was over 780. Last year in hope of collecting more Bears the Lettermen went out to the Spanish Fork Elementary schools and asked them to run the program. Through these efforts this year Canyon Elementary collected and delivered 380 stuffed animal. In the Seven years the bank and school have partnered the letterman are responsible for collecting over 8,000 stuffed animals.

On Wednesday December 18th the Bears col-lected by all Bank of American Fork locations were consolidated in the American Fork office and in a ceremony delivered to the centers.

Diamond Fork Junior High students prepare blankets for baby doll cradles and a completed baby doll cradle.

By Sr. Todd Claybaugh

The Latinos in Action program at Diamond Fork Jr. in Spanish Fork has been in charge of a school-wide service project this Christmas season.

It started with a fundraiser in October where money raised was used to buy materials to make wooden doll cradles. The woods class made the cradles. The money was also used to buy materials for the sewing class to make doll blankets. Baby dolls were also purchased to go along with the cradle/blanket set.

We gave the sets to three different organizations: DCFS, House of Hope in Provo and Tabitha’s

Way in Spanish Fork. They were given to needy children at Christmas time.

On Friday afternoon, December 20, during

a school assembly there was a presentation of the project where a representative from each organization will receive a cradle in front of the student body.

After school on Friday several students will do a drop off some of the cradles at a dinner hosted by Tabitha’s Way at 400 N Main St. in Spanish Fork.

Merry Christmas to all those who received these gifts.

2013 Utah County pigeon racing season comes to a close

Submitted by Ben Glazner

By Ben Glazner

The UCA (Utah County Racing Pigeon Associ-ation) held is last race on October 26th to end the young bird race for the 2013 season. There were a total of 8 races from various locations which these birds flew from; starting in Plymouth, Idaho (about 130 miles) and ending in Spencer, Idaho (About 300 miles). This was my first time racing pigeons, and I had an excellent start to the season with one of my birds taking 2nd place in the first race. Alas, it looks like it was beginners luck. As the races got further out, my birds began to fall behind. The best bird in my loft ended up finishing 21st overall; looks like I still have a thing or two to learn about the sport.

The owner of the young bird that scored the

highest total points goes to Von Dansie, whose pigeon scored a total of 710 points and had an average speed of 1,293.24 YPM (yards per min-ute). He wears a bright green band, number 60, and is fondly called “No Name”. Von Dansie also claimed the champion loft award, with 6322 combined total points for all the young birds he raced in his loft. It doesn’t end there; Von cleaned house and also earned the title of “Master loft” with an average point per bird raced coming in at 253 points. Congratulations to Von Dansie for training an excellent team of birds and having a very successful season.

For more information about racing pigeons in South Utah County, or to join the UCA, contact Hunter Siggard at [email protected] or by phone at (801) 592-2534.

Restaurant ReviewBy Kaye Nelson

Writing food reviews is fun and satisfying yet tricky. No one likes to be trashed, even a restaurant. It’s hard to find a place that offers unsurpassed food, service, prices, ambiance and cleanliness. But most longstanding restaurants have a good portion of each, otherwise they wouldn’t stay in business.

Bad food, poor service or both shouldn’t define a restaurant, especially if it has been in business a long time. When a customer leaves upset, the restaurant and the customer lose. Talking to a manager sometimes garners a refund, a future free meal or, at the very least, an apology.

Let’s focus on the positive though since most restaurants put their collective best foot forward to keep customers coming through their doors.

People who love to eat out weighed in on “what makes a good restaurant?” Several like Rachael Pais, formerly of Provo, mentioned things like quality ingredients, fresh food and a seasonal menu. Yet others gave responses unrelated to food.

“More and more now, I’m choosing places by how good they are for visiting,” said Melanie Henderson of Provo. “Decent acoustics and comfy seating. The food and service definitely matter, of course, but I don’t want to have to shout to hear each other.”

Christina Cope, a Spanish Fork resident, likes waiters who know the limits of checking in.

“We like servers who are not overly friendly and who let you eat and carry on conversations without frequent interruptions,” she said.

Pam Friske of Salt Lake City, mentioned ambiance and cleanliness.

“I like a restaurant that has a warm and cozy atmosphere,” she said. “I like to be able to hear the person in my company. I want it to be clean. That means the floors, tables, benches, dishes, everything.”

Other worthy mentions – keeping drinks full, hot food should be hot, menu choices for those with allergies and getting an appetizer quickly.

Restaurant owners who pay attention to customers’ wish lists should reap more profits by listening and adapting in their own businesses.

Memorable highlights of previous food reviews were the scones at The Family Tree Restaurant in

Santaquin; thick, creamy milkshakes at the Little Acorn and the tender wood-smoked meats at Big Bones BBQ in Spanish Fork; the amazing BBQ sauces at Poor Boys BBQ and Dawgs in Payson and the fine dining atmosphere that complements the magnificent food at Magleby’s in Springville. Those are definite repeats in my book.

People like to talk about good food so polling locals for favorite eateries was easy.

Springville restaurants that made the list were La Casita, Joe Bandidos and Zubs. I reviewed Zubs a few months ago – it has unique pizzas and some of the best homemade desserts around. There were lots of votes for Magleby’s in Springville and Dalton’s in Payson.

In researching restaurants I found some outdated information. Managers should keep online information current and create a Facebook page for news and customer feedback.

The owner of this newspaper, Chris Baird, has a credo challenging readers to do good turns – to serve others daily. My challenge for readers and restaurant owners for 2014 is to do this in restaurants. We’ve all heard of people paying for another’s meal – a soldier, a young mother with children, etc.

Invite a homeless person to share a meal with you. Watch for someone who is a little frazzled. Or someone who has it totally all together – surprise them by paying for their meal. The amount you spend will be returned in good feelings you can’t duplicate by just handing someone a $10 bill. And the “pay it forward” mentality is contagious.

If you have comments about food reviews or suggestions of restaurants that haven’t been reviewed email me at [email protected]. Happy eating!

Kaye Nelson, Restaurant Reviewer, grew up in Springville and is a true Red Devil. She knows good food and pays atten-tion when restaurants entice customers with something out of the ordinary.

Using Pr inted Famil y Histor ies? C heck t wiceGinny’s Genealogical GemsBy Ginny Ackerson - Springville Resident

You can find family histories and pedigrees printed in books, magazines and online. How accurate is the information you will find in these sources? Unfortunately, a lot of genealogical enthusiasts do not check or source their information before publishing it and errors are rampant.

If you find a printed history for your family you need to check to see if the information is documented and you need to analyze the information carefully. If there is no documentation, then you must try and find documentation to prove that information before you add it to your own records.

I once found data on my family where the son was born before the father, the wife was 78 when she had her first baby, a child was three when she got married and the family had 32 children, some of whom were born after the wife had died! Careful analysis and dutiful research eventually was able to straighten out the tangled roots with accurate information. When you look at published information you need to analyze not only dates but places, too. The source may state that your grandfather was born in Ohio in 1564. Ohio did not exist as a jurisdiction in 1564. It may state that your Hatfield family was involved in the famous feud with the McCoys, but your Hatfields lived in California during the time of the feud

that took place in Kentucky and West Virginia.

Another thing to watch out for is the publication date of family bibles. I was ecstatic when I found that a cousin had a family bible and she sent me a copy. There were no places listed and some of the dates and names were different than what I had documented. I asked her to send me a copy of the flyleaf and the first page. The bible was published 75 years after some of the events recorded in it and was given to my cousin’s great grandmother when she was 12. The great grandmother recorded some of these events long after they happened so errors had crept in.

Online pedigrees can be used a guideline to help you document your family but I would NEVER download any information directly to my database. If the information looks promising, I create an empty file, download the info to that file then analyze and document it, clean it up, then add it to mine.

Pr ide-based educationThoughts on ZionBy Jesse Fisher - Salem Resident

Previously we explored how pride or humility gets incorporated into governments, which then reinforce one or the other in the people. In this way, governments are one of several “cultural pumps” moving a society towards either Babylon or Zion.

Another is education. The Book of Mormon offers examples of both humility and pride-based education.

One humility-based school system is mentioned in the latter-half of Alma, chapter one. In verse 26, we see church-organized education with volunteer teachers who supported themselves by their own labors (presumably in agriculture). The text itself indicates that these Nephites apparently linked voluntary teaching with what I call, “Humility2”* – the idea that all men are equal and none deserves to live off the labors of others through taxes:

“And when the priests left their labor to impart the word of God unto the people, the people also left their labors to hear the word of God. And [then] they all returned again diligently unto their labors; and the priest, not esteeming himself above his hearers, for the preacher was no better than the hearer, neither was the teacher any better than the learner; and thus they were all equal, and they did

all labor, every man according to his strength.“ (See also: Mosiah 27:1-5).

The above stands in stark contrast to the pride-based school system established earlier among the Lamanites. Amulon, as a former wicked priest in King Noah’s government, was familiar with the benefits of priestcraft having lived riotously off Nephite tax dollars. Later, Amulon had weaseled his way into the Lamanite government and gets his fellow priests appointed paid teachers in the Lamanites’ government-run national school system (Mosiah 24:1&4). Verses 5-7 show us that these schools, like ours today, taught reading, writing and record-keeping, but did not teach of God, His prophets, or His commandments, which humility before God would require. This resulted in the Lamanites becoming “a cunning and a wise people, as to the wisdom of the world... delighting in all manner of wickedness and plunder” - a condition clearly more indicative of Babylon than Zion.

So, as a people under covenant with God to consecrate all we have “for the establishment of Zion”, we may want to reconsider our support for, loyalty to, and participation in pride-based education, and consider working with others to establish humility-based alternatives.

A fun explanation of the economics you need for successBy Shelly Davis - Spanish Fork Resident

Review of “Whatever Happened to Penny Candy” by Richard J. Maybury

Does economics seem like a distant, difficult-to-grasp subject to you? Do you have a hard time really, I mean really understanding the basics of our American free enterprise system? Do you have a hard time explaining it to children and teens? I did, till I read the book Whatever Happened to Penny Candy? by Richard J. Maybury. It is part of his Uncle Eric series, in which the fictional Uncle Eric explains to his nephew Chris, through a series of letters, all about history, government, justice, and economics.

Whatever Happened to Penny Candy? now in its sixth edition, promises, quote, “a fast, clear, and fun explanation of the economics you need for success in your career, business, and investments.” Is there anybody who doesn’t need to learn about such things? Raise your hand. No one? Well, I recommend this little 160-page, fifteen-chapter volume that is written for tweens through adults.

Sometimes when you’re faced with a little bit of a hazy subject, you just need the right explanation from the right author to clear it up for you, and that’s what Maybury did for me and my high school son who also read it.

For instance, most of us think of inflation as an increase in prices and falling of the value of money. That is actually a result of inflation, the real cause being the printing of more money. It goes like this: Government prints money which is not backed by gold or silver, floods the market with it so that the value of each individual unit goes down, which means you need more of it to buy what you want. Goods don’t cost more because they have more value; they cost more because the units of money used to purchase them are nearly worthless.

Maybury draws extensively from the history of the Roman Empire to show the cycle of money and civilizations and how playing politics so vastly affects the economic core of all nations, past and present. The book speaks to my own motto, “Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Well, I didn’t originate that; it’s an adopted motto, but a most true one.

Whatever Happened to Penny Candy? includes an extensive appendix of charts and graphs, excerpts and anecdotes, websites, suggestions of films to go along with the subject, and more to really give you a good, basic knowledge of economics.

With its wonderful conversational style, it is not a bit boring. It easily held my interest and I felt the more richly educated because of it.

Serve Daily CornerBy Chris Baird - Springville Resident

Welcome to 2014!This is going to be an exciting year for Serve

Daily and for the area. I see much growth potential for all people. It’ll require a lot of work, dedication, and faith in yourself and that you can achieve your full potential.

I have a great desire to see all those around me that are working honestly and providing good services to be successful. I have been reading many books lately. One of them, is “Think and grow rich” by Napoleon Hill. In the chapter on desire, he shares that whatever you desire must be DEFINITE! To know what your goals are and to fix it in your mind so that you know EXACTLY what you wish to achieve. Be it money, relationship, a new talent, or whatever it may be.

““Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” - Napoleon Hill. I full heartedly

believe in this statement. I realize, however, that things take time and what I conceive may not come to be in a month. For example, this newspaper and the digital edition took 17 months to finally become what I wanted it to be at www.servedaily.com.

So as this new year starts I ask you the readers of the Serve Daily paper to make grand plans, to believe in your plans, and to achieve your plans.

If you need any help feel free to contact me and I will do what I can to assist you. Happy New Year!

You may come in contact with one of the cards as pictured below.. When you receive this card we ask you to follow the instructions on the front of the card. If you would like a couple cards, please contact Chris at (801) 477-6845. The back side of the card gives a few ideas for service and lists a few good books that one may choose to read.

“We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.” ~ George Bernard Shaw

By Chuck Chamberlainof Chamberlain Leadership

“Networking Nights,” a group of business leaders from south Utah Valley, celebrated the organization’s first year in operation and announced a new focus and new schedule beginning this year. Group founder Laraine Chamberlain discussed the changes at the group’s holiday gathering on December 17th. Citing a growing enthusiasm for networking south of Provo and anticipated business growth in the area, Chamberlain announced, “Rather than meeting once in Spanish Fork and once in Orem each month, the group will now meet twice monthly in Spanish Fork to accommodate the expanding interest we’re seeing here.”

In addition, the content of meetings will change to align more with real business challenges. Chamberlain explained, “One meeting each month will be focused entirely on ‘Needs & Leads.’ In these meetings each business leader will have the opportunity to discuss specific needs and receive practical help from those who’ve been through the same issues and have found solutions. The other meeting each month will include guest presenters who will discuss relevant business and personal growth topics.”

With the exception of January, meetings will be held the first Wednesday and third Tuesday of each month, 6:30 - 8:00 PM at the Spanish Fork Macey’s grocery store meeting room (“little theater”). Because some who attend on Tuesday nights may not be able to attend on Wednesday nights, and vice versa, “Needs & Leads” sessions will alternate with those nights when there is a presenter. The schedule through April is as follows:

Tuesday, January 21: Presenters Chuck and Laraine Chamberlain will present “New Year ‘s

Reflections and Resolutions – The Art of Letting Go.” The group will identify their biggest “wins” of 2013. They will also learn how the principle of “letting go” relates to abundance and how to “make space” in their lives for even more success in 2014.

Rusty Pilot Refresher Seminar

Photo from http://dfcflyer.com/

By Ed HelmickWe know there are a lot of former active pilots

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

The Rusty Pilots Refresher Seminar will be held the last Saturday of January in our hangar #49 and will cover airspace, new procedures, computerized weather and flight planning, GPS navigation, aeronautical decision making and

current FAA “Special Emphasis Areas.” The intent of this seminar is to bring together a group of inactive pilots that will become a peer group to review old and new experiences and become active pilots again. Numerous handouts will be provided for discussion and future reference. Lunch will also be brought in for the group. The fee for the Rusty Pilot Refresher Seminar is $50, and the seminar provides a completion certificate that will meet the ground review requirements of FAR 61.56.

If you know of once upon a time active pilots that still have a passion for aviation please encourage them to join us January 25th at 9 AM in Hangar #49. Attendees will need to register with our dispatch desk so we will know the number of handouts to prepare and how many lunches to order. The telephone number for our dispatch desk is (801) 471-1304.

Talents come in many shapes and sizes. And this talent comes with thousands and thousands of small stitches.

Angels, poinsettias, and snowflakes are crocheted or tatted and take anywhere from a few hours to ten hours. This is truly a labor of love. Some of the smaller snowflakes and angels fit perfectly in Christmas cards, get well, and sympathy cards.

The blankets are crocheted and start at 30 x 32 up to 45 x 70 inches. Depending on the pattern and size the blankets take twenty hours and above.

The baby overalls with jacket is a labor of love that takes about 15 to 20 hours per piece.

Everything above make for great gifts. Helen started learning hand crafts in Mutual

Improvement Association (MIA), currently known as the Young Women’s Program of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The first talent she learned was crocheting. Later, in her twenties she learned how to knit. In her thirties, while in Relief Society , she was introduced to tatting. Learning how to tie the slide knot took patience as it required over twenty hours to master. When you look closely at the tatting, its made up of hundreds of slide knots.

“I know why they call the space shuttle, after the tatting shuttle, because the tatting shuttle will fly. And it does because frustration may set in.”

Please visit the Serve Daily photo gallery (gallery.servedaily.com) and find images of the

items listed above. “Thank you to Russell Beardall, my family and

friends, and the community for your support.” said Helen. Continuing, “Because of the support, I found the courage to move forward and start a business.” Helen’s business is HR Angel Crafts in Payson. Learn more about her by emailing [email protected] or call (801) 609-7153.

Start saving today! Pay yourself first and be charitableFinancial TipsBy Ben Glazner

I have worked in the financial industry for almost 10 years and learned some great things over that time that can help you with your new year’s resolution to eliminate debt and save more. A great quote that I’ve really taken to heart is, “until the pain of not changing is greater than the pain to change, no change will occur.” I’m not sure who first said that, but I find it all too true. Over the next few months I’ll provide helpful tips that if followed will help you achieve your goals throughout this year by changing your spending, paying, and saving habits.

Tip #1Start paying yourself. I read a great book called

“The Richest Man in Babylon” by George S. Clason, It was highly recommend that I read this book when I first started working as a teller. This easy to read book has a great deal of valuable wisdom in it regarding personal finances and I highly recommend reading it. As this is about finances, instead of buying the book, borrow it from the library and reduce your spending.

One of the concepts George teaches, is to keep 10% of your income. You earned it, you keep it. Don’t give it to someone else. He also recom-

mends paying 10% of your income to a charity; you’ll have to read the book to find out why. That leaves 80% of your income to live on.

I’m sure you’re saying to yourself, “that sounds great, I wish I had started that habit before I had started living on 90% or 100% of my income.” “It won’t work for me now.” You’re probably right. You won’t be able to save 10% right away, but don’t give up on the idea just yet. Start small. If you can save $5 a pay check, that’s $10 a month, you’ll have saved $120 or more in the course of a year. That’s a good start. Put that in a savings account and don’t touch it. Promise yourself you won’t spend it.

The next step comes into effect when you get a pay raise. If you get a $.25 an hour raise, and you’re making $15,000 a year, that’s a 4% increase. That’s an extra $20 a pay check ($480 a year). Set up an automatic transfer with your payroll department or financial institution to automatically take that additional $20 a pay check so you won’t miss it, and add that to the $5 you’re already saving. Continue to do that until you’re saving 10% of your income. Let your savings build until you have enough saved to invest your money in something with a higher rate of return. Read the book I mentioned earlier for good advice about investing. Look for next month’s issue for more great tips.

Photo submitted by: Diana HurrenSpringville Banking Company, built in 1892 is now Central Bank.

Central Bank: Strong, Safe and Secure since 1891By Bank of Dianna Hurren

Central Bank has been serving Utah County for over 120 years with a long record of strength and stability. Since the economy began to falter in 2008, they relied on their own strength and reserves by not taking any “bailout” or TARP money—evidence that they truly have remained strong, safe and secure since 1891. Central Bank believes their strength and continued progress is a direct result of their dedication to caring for the individual needs of the people and communities they serve. Here is a brief view of their history in our community.

On October 17, 1891, Milan Packard (great-great-grandfather of our president, Matt Packard) helped establish the Springville Banking Company. The bank expanded gradually until 1924, when the community-focused officers and directors were instrumental in attracting the Columbia Steel Mill to the site between Provo and Springville. From this point, the bank enjoyed steady and substantial growth and was one of few banks that did not require Government Debenture Capital during the depression years. Progressive and ably-managed, Springville Banking Company was the first bank in Utah to qualify for FDIC insurance on deposits.

The State Bank of Provo was organized in 1902, by 16 men of incredibly diverse backgrounds—sheep farmer, plumber, attorney, you name it—who all had the common desire to find a safe, stable place to save and borrow money. From its founding, the State Bank of Provo grew steadily and the officers and board members prxided themselves as they came to be known as the bank that knew every customer as a friend.

On July 1, 1966, the Springville Banking Company and the State Bank of Provo merged

under the new name of Central Bank and Trust. This was not simply a union of the two oldest banks in Utah County, but a consolidation of strength that would provide greater lending power, more financial stability and superior services. Central Bank opened its doors in Spanish Fork in 1969, followed shortly by offices in the Provo Riverside Plaza in 1971 and Mapleton in 1972. Continued expansion brought offices to Payson in 1980, Orem in1982, American Fork in 1996, Lehi in 2003, and Pleasant Grove in 2008. These new facilities demonstrate Central Bank’s commitment to serving Utah County and the people who call it home.

Central Bank offers all modern banking services and conveniences—mobile deposit, online bill pay, and advanced technology ATMs to name a few—while still refusing to let go of the personal, friendly touch that got them where they are today. Aside from providing exceptional banking services, Central Bank makes many valuable contributions that strengthen our community. Their employees spend many hours each year participating in local programs and the bank donates to many educational and civic organizations throughout Utah County.

Thank you to Wesley Aston for the background at www.ServeDaily.com. Mapleton scene on Jan. 3rd.

We moved to Springville Utah in 2007 for the same reason many folks do, to attend BYU. Now I work as Quality Engineer in Spanish Fork. I moved to Utah from Bremerton Washington where I had served four years as a US Navy sailor, and worked an additional 6 years as a civilian Navy machinist. Here I am at the moth ball carrier fleet in my old home at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. This ex-carrier waits for her turn to be recycled. I may be out of the Naval service and a long way from the Navy, but I can always find a good opportunity to “Serve Daily” wherever I am!

Living the Healthy Life by Randi Gerber, reviewBookLookBy Debbie Balzotti - Springville Resident

Review of “Living the Healthy Life” by Springville author Randi Gerber

It’s January – the cruelest month of the year. The poet T. S. Eliot chose April as the cruelest month but he was wrong. In January we have to make New Year’s Resolutions! This is the month we take a good look at our lifestyle and make those tough resolutions to be healthier.

Where do we start with our resolutions? Read some good books and get informed. Searching for a new book to help set and keep healthy life-style resolutions, I opened the front cover of “Living the Healthy Life” by local author Randi Gerber and was intrigued by her introduction.

She wrote, “This book begins by establishing what disease is and what it means to heal naturally. It includes basic diet and lifestyle information designed to support he body in its natural healing processes. It also includes a chapter explaining the real secrets to hormone balance using a system I recently developed called Holistic Hormone Therapy.”

The author adds that although her holistic weight-loss and anti-aging tactics work, readers may need to work with a doctor to develop their specific natural treatment program. She also starts with the disclaimer that the book is for informational purposes and not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any disease since she is not a doctor or licensed healthcare professional.

Gerber almost lost me when she told me not to skip to the “Health Conditions Protocol” chapters without reading the preceding chapters. She knows that’s how we all read – go straight to the chapter on weight loss or zero in on our specific concern. Just give me the information, an easy plan and what I need to buy. This book however, is designed to educate first and offer solutions second so go back and start at the beginning after you peek at your chapter.

Back cover statements remind us of the suffering found in every family. “Autoimmune disorders

plague up to 8 percent of the population and counting. Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in the US and continues to climb. Hormonal balances are epidemic and causing widespread suffering. Autism now plagues one in eighty-eight children.” Cancer, diabetes and mental illness are also included in the list.

Gerber is the mother of four children and has been gathering information for 15 years to keep herself and her family healthy. She is passionate about what she has learned and enthusiastic about sharing it. You many not agree with everything in the book, but read with an open mind and take advantage of her research which is well documented at the end of the book. You will a few changes to make, or a complete health makeover program.

Reading “Living the Healthy Life” can make setting and keeping your January resolutions a little easier. For more information on the author and the book go to www.randigerber.com. You can also sign up for a free newsletter or a free consultation on the site.
