2MENDING . . . | 5FUNDRAISER |

By Paul Crown - Salem ResidentThe fifth of February, 2014 marked a day when

the world became a little colder and the state of Utah banded together in way that hasn’t been seen in years. A turn out from what appeared to be every police department within the state meant that hundreds of uniformed police officers on motorcycle, in patrol car or unmarked undercover vehicles made a funeral procession to never be forgotten. Supporters adorned the overpasses on I-15 while the funeral procession traveled down to Spanish Fork. Traffic was slowed from the procession moving from the HOV lane to the far right lane to make their exit to Spanish Fork Main Street but the tears seen weren’t those of traffic frustration.

The funeral was set to start at 4:00 local, but with events moving at a decent clip before, it was closer to 3:00 when a horse drawn hearse

delivered the casket with Sgt. Cory Wride enclosed. Shortly thereafter the burial services began. If the support being shown wasn’t already bringing people to tears… There was the inclusion of taps being played. Four helicopters flying overhead (UHP Helicopter leading the formation, followed by with University of Utah’s Air Med 4, Life Flight from IHC and trailed by KSL 5 News “eye in the sky”) with the Life Flight Helicopter from IHC peeling off in honor of fallen Sgt. Cory Wride.

The remainder of the proceedings were brief, but very touching. A last report was called out over the radios and could be heard perfectly clear among the crowd, then some last words were very quietly spoken and the crowd began to slowly trickle away. Within a few minutes the growling purr of half a dozen police motorcycles could be heard, within a few more minutes it grew with

the start of each motorcycle. Slowly among the departing crowd the police motorcycles began pulling away, despite the dispersal of the crowd and the noise of the motorcycles a deep solemnity hung over the cemetery.

Before departing myself I stopped at the Veterans Memorial which is at the entrance of the Spanish Fork cemetery. There are eight dedicatory walls up and only four with names at this point, Sgt. Cory Wride is the newest entry on wall four, he served twelve years in the Utah Army National Guard. Looking at the life of service he lead, the efforts he put forth, his selfless dedication, it is seen as aptly in his fellow service members in Utah’s Army National Guard as well as the Sheriffs’ Department. Recently , I

Local American Heroes enjoy a day of icefishingBy Steve Henline -Spanish Fork Resident

The temperature held at zero degrees as dawn unfolded over the frozen Strawberry Reservoir. In the parking lot at Strawberry Marina volunteers loaded ice sleds with ice augers, tents, heaters, rods and reels, propane stoves and a myriad of other items to insure the day was a success for the participants.

Hand in Hand Outdoors, a Spanish Fork nonprofit organization hosted the event called “American Heroes Project” as part of their yearlong mission to provide outdoor

opportunities for Wounded Warriors, disabled veterans and others with disabilities. Last year the staff and officers had built a 35’ specially designed fishing boat that can accommodate six wheelchairs or eighteen individuals. The big boat called “Freedoms Dream” had over 500 people aboard during the summer and fall and when ice formed on the local waters this winter they switched to ice fishing to continue their mission to help, according to Matt Barber co-founder.

As the morning wore on the ice was soon covered with brightly colored tents with heaters to ward of the wind and cold that never materialized.

LIBERTY SHALL BE MAINTAINED

The Constitution of the USA2 | Serve Daily February 2014

“Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.” ~ Abraham Lincoln

Special ice rods were rigged with baits and lures and eight inch holes drilled in the ice to entice the strawberry trout 20’ below. Nearby coffee and hot chocolate brewed to accompany the sweet rolls and other pastries to warm the anglers and a hot meal was being prepared nearby for the luncheon.

As wheelchair bound participants arrived they were put aboard snowmobiles and four wheelers to get them down the steep ramp to the location on the ice. “None of these individuals in wheelchairs had ever had the opportunity to ice fish before, and although there were some small logistical problems getting them on and off of the snow covered ice, determination prevailed and we managed it without incident,” stated project coordinator, Steve Henline.

Soon there were nearly 50 people on the thick ice fishing. Ryan Johnson, a quadriplegic in a wheelchair was obviously delighted with the days events “this is a new experience for me and the others in chairs. Until today I thought that this was going to be an impossibility, but Hand in Hand Outdoors is always there for us, not

SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS OF GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT IN MARRIAGE

Understanding LibertyBy Casey Beres - Springville Resident

Last month’s Understanding Liberty discussed the problems of having government involved in marriage by allowing government to: 1.) Make laws concerning who may and may not get married; and 2.) To require individuals who wish to marry to prostrate themselves before the feet the all powerful state just to be able to beg for a scrap of paper that shows that the government gave them permission to exercise a natural right of theirs to join together via contract and share property and assets together. This month we will address possible solutions to these problems.

Since government involvement in marriage in the aforemen-tioned ways violates the First Amendment and the religious rights of individuals and churches, as well as the property rights of property owners, it seems the best solution to protect the rights of everyone involved is to take government out of marriage altogether. Let all relationships be contractual and thus called contractual relationships, governed by contract and tort law, as well as true criminal law, and let the religions and individuals decide on what is and what is not a marriage and not be forced to recognize something as a marriage that they feel isn’t a marriage due to their religious beliefs or the dictates of their conscience. This way, no one’s religious rights/rights of conscious are tram-pled upon, no one is prevented from forming such a relational contract, and no one is forced in any way to do, believe, or accept anything contrary to their consciences. To do this however, there would need to be a few changes in law, changes which would be easy enough to do, and ought to be done for fairness, equality in rights, and thus for liberty’s sake. They are:

1.)An amendment to each state constitution who adopts such a system, indicating that government shall no longer have the authority to recognize, establish, or prohibit marriages by statute or common law, and that it shall only have authority to recognize only contracts between individuals as contractual relationships, and that all contractual relationships shall be lawful and upheld by government, excepting those that are formed to violate the rights of others, such as contracts to perform illegal deeds such as murder, theft, rape, destruction of property, etc.

2.)A change in each adopting state’s Statute of Frauds expressing the requirements for forming a contract under such a contractual relationship. For example all relational contracts must be written, and must contain certain information for when property and assets is involved or if children are involved.

3.)The tax codes would have to be altered slightly, both state and federal, so that each party to the relational contract either filed their own taxes or filed jointly under the contract instead of under a state sanctioned marriage contract as happens now for legally recognized married couples.

4.)The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and any similar state civil rights or anti-discrimination laws would also have to be altered slightly, so that no longer would ANY private businesses have their property rights stripped from them in controlling who they will enter into business/form a contract with or be prevented from entering into business/forming a contract with, choosing who they will and will not associate with, or having their religious beliefs violated by being forced to do business with/associate with someone they would rather not according to the dictates of their conscience.

There are many who may object to these solutions, saying government must be involved in marriage for the sake of property distribution and child custody, and thus government must continue to define what is and is not a marriage. But such objectors to my proposed solutions probably don’t realize that under such a system as I propose, government would still be involved in such matters, only via current contract law and family law. The courts would still remedy any problems with property distribution upon dissolution of relational contracts or child custody issues. The government does not need to be able to define what is and is not a marriage or require government licenses to marry according to its definition of marriage just to protect property and children in the case of the dissolution of a relational contract. Government, via the courts and current contract and family law would still be involved in relational contracts under my proposed changes when property division or children are involved. For lack of room, the issue of who would be allowed to have or adopt children under my proposed changes to the law will have to wait until a later month. But for now, let it suffice to say that reason dictates that children have the natural right to a mother and a father.

By Jon McNaughtonI had a vision of a family gathered around an

American flag. Not just any flag, but that of a fallen serviceman, a father, a son, a daughter; the kind of flag that would be laid over a casket with great reverence. But upon examining the flag, one can see that it is in horrible condition. Its colors are faded, the edges are torn and there are many holes. It has been trampled and has

not been treated with the honor and respect, which it deserves.

Today, our nation is in disarray. Our Constitution has been trampled, our financial solvency is in question, our military is compromised, and the decline of the moral fabric of our society is in question. Our government has lost the trust of the people. Our courts do not uphold the Constitution and the American

people are afraid for the future of their children. What will it take to mend the nation?

I think that the American spirit is alive and if we muster enough courage and commitment it can be done. The last time I saw such courage was after 9/11 when the country came together for a common good. If we are going to rebuild America I believe it will take FIVE VALUES. Courage, Family, Hope, Faith, and Love; each

value is required to make it work—remove one and the whole system fails. In this painting, each member of the family represents a different value. Learn about each value by going to the interactive website and scrolling your mouse over the image of the painting. (www.JonMcNaughton.com) Together we can move forward in “Mending the Nation.”

transitioned from Active Duty service in the US Navy, at the memorial I saw statues representing each of the different facets of the Department of Defense (DoD), Navy, Marines (Dept. of the Navy) , Air Force, Army and Coast Guard.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that while our public safety officers may not be abroad securing threats to our freedoms in other countries, they are upholding a highly localized version of the oath I myself swore when I joined the Navy I swore “I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”. Our UHP officers uphold state and local laws, they’re our first line of defense against local threats and they’re who we turn to when we’re threatened

at home.With all of the other take-a-ways and hindsight

that’s been thought up in relation to Cory’s death, I have one last thought in hopes for a better remembrance. I would propose we treat all of our local Veteran law enforcement more like DoD Veterans in how we remember them. Include them in the Veteran memorials for the years of service and sacrifice they’ve performed. Create a statue that stands amongst their brothers in arms who served over seas. Show them that we appreciate and are endeared to their selfless sacrifice to keeping our public safety intact. It’s a small step, but it’s one that will help tie our communities together even more.

only the war veterans that have been injured in battle, but anyone with disabilities. I know they are helping to change lives and I am proud to be involved with them”

Although the fishing was slow no one seemed to mind. The crowd mingled with one another sharing stories and experiences. Among the participants was a Vets Center councilor, a registered nurse specializing in disabled individuals and other volunteers. Among the wounded warriors and combat vets were bronze star and Purple Heart recipients from wars from Vietnam to Afghanistan.

Bob Pagnani, Utahs Elks Veterans chairman also stated, “ These incredible people involved with Hand in Hand Outdoors are far reaching in what they do for Americas Veterans. I would be hard pressed to name any organization that does more for our courageous veterans. The elks are proud in be a sponsor.”

By Sara ClarkAre you a young person who volunteers?

A $5,000 college scholarship could be the recognition you deserve for your efforts to give back to your community.

“Most of the applicants for the Youthlinc Utah Young Humanitarian Award don’t think they are worthy of the award,” says 2013 Utah Young Humanitarian award winner, Megan Dolle, who volunteers with refugees. “They need a teacher or a service supervisor to encourage them, but really this about knowing your worth.”

Over the last nine years, there have been nearly 600 student applicants for the award. Each young person has had a unique area of focus in helping others. Past winners of the award have volunteered mentoring youth, working with refugees and the homeless, or simply spreading small acts of kindness.

2014 applications for this $5,000 college scholarship are now available on the Youthlinc

website www.youthlinc.org , due March 19. There

are three $1,000 runner up awards. The Award program, which is in its tenth

year, is open to all high school junior and seniors, and undergraduate college students in Utah, who are U.S. citizens or legal residents. Funding is provided by George & Dolores Eccles Foundation.

Youthlinc Executive Director Judy Zone says the idea for this Award – the state’s largest service scholarship-- arose from the Youthlinc Service Year, in which over 2,000 Utah students have contributed over 150,000 hours of local service. “In the past fifteen years, we’ve seen young people pass through our program and become enthusiastic about service. So we have known for a long time that youth are willing to pitch in, if given an opportunity and the inspiration to help.”

For more information, visit our web site www.youthlinc.org or contact Julia Rametta, Youthlinc Local Service Director julia@youthlinc.org or 801-467-4417.

By Ginny Ackerson - Springville ResidentThe Sundance Trio will be featured in the

Sunday Concert Series, February 16th, at the Springville Museum of Art starting at 4:30 pm. The concert is sponsored by the Springville Arts Commission and is free to the public.

The Sundance Trio was formed in 2005 to explore and perform trios written for oboe, bassoon and piano. Based in Utah, members of the trio include oboist Geralyn Giovannetti, bassoonist Christian Smith, and pianist Jed Moss. Giovannetti and Smith are faculty colleagues at Brigham Young University’s School of Music where they also perform together in the resident woodwind quintet, Orpheus Winds. Moss is a much sought after solo and collaborative artist. Together the trio has performed throughout the United States at colleges, chamber music series and at conferences, and in early 2012 completed an eight-week music tour in England.

In 2009, the Sundance Trio released their debut CD Recording on the Centaur Records label. The CD includes premiere recordings of works by American composers Margi Griebling-Haigh and David Sargent. The Salt Lake Tribune

wrote, “The ensemble play is also fabulous. It’s a remarkable collaborative effort by three like-minded musicians who are equals in musicality and technical astuteness. This is a very fine album, both in the performances and in its conception.”

On March 16th the Sunday Concert series will present Good Company. Good Company is an indie folk band formed in 2012 in Provo, Utah. The band is comprised of a revolving lineup of up to 7 members, with its core in lead vocalist/guitarist Natasha Watts, fiddler Kristin Bowles, and bassist Ben Christensen. Good Company’s style draws from its members’ American folk and bluegrass roots combined with the modern, melancholy style made popular by bands like Mumford and Sons and Of Monsters and Men.

From more traditional shows to farmers markets and weddings, Good Company finds every opportunity to share its members’ love of music both rowdy and pensive. Online, the band can be found on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/MusicIsGoodCompany and on Twitter under the handle @musicisgc.

By Dawn Davis & Kelly MitchellOn Saturday, February 8th,

the Nebo Relay for Life held a Valentine’s Gala called Kiss Cancer Goodbye to kickoff the beginning of Relay season that leads up to the actual night of Relay. The event was a Formal Benefit Gala, held at the Chillon Reception Center in Spanish Fork. Major General Jeff Burton started the night talking about being a leader and having both physical and moral courage, to overcome obstacles. Following the Major General, The Band Firefly ( originally from Arizona ) performed for the guests, featuring their hit song, “Firecracker Red.” And, Tyler Guest with Rapid Trance Formations, performed a hypnotist act that kept the audience both mesmerized and laughing for the remainder of the night. They also had a silent auction, a Kissing Booth, a Mocktail Bar, and Red Carpet Photobooth by CheapShots Photography. All money raised that night went directly to the American Cancer Society, who were also there to show their support.

The next big event is Paul Cardall, he will be performing April 12th for our benefit concert at Salem Hills HS. There is a composition contest with the high school students which will be judged by Paul. The finalists from each high school in the Nebo School District will get to perform that night. AND the winner will have the opportunity to record their winning piece in his recording studio up in Salt Lake City.

What is Nebo Relay for Life?

Relay for Life is an overnight event, where teams of people camp out, and take turns walking around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relay events take place overnight. The name Nebo Relay for Life, comes from our area, and spans from Springville to Goshen. Our event on June 20th and 21st, is the main event, where we will join teams on the football field of Salem Hills High School. Relay is for EVERYONE! We start the evening off with the Survivor lap, then joined by Caregivers, and eventually by everyone. We have a Survivor/Caregiver dinner, activities throughout the night, live music, craft fair, and we pause for a special program honoring those who have lost their fight and those still fighting by lighting Luminaries. We keep walking until dawn to Finish the Fight!

To register as a vendor for the craft fair, or to register your team, or if you have any questions, please email eventchair@neborelayforlife.org. The sooner you register your team, the more time you have to try to raise money! For more information, you can visit our website www.neborelayforlife.org.

Submitted by Colin LogueTroy and Norma Barnum, along with their

family, are thrilled to become a part of the Payson business community. They moved here from Washington State about 10 years ago and fell in love with the area. Both Troy and Norma grew up in a small farm town. They married after college and started their own business. Troy has been very successful working in business development for the last 20 years. “I would like to think that the work ethic, commitment and dedication that I learned working on our family farm has contributed to my success,” says Troy. The Barnums have four children. They are a very active family. If they are not playing sports, they are planning their next big hike or bike ride. Troy also spends time volunteering as a coach for various sports and Norma volunteers at the schools.

When approached with the opportunity to buy this business, Troy jumped on the chance. “When we moved to Payson, I just knew this was the area where I wanted to raise my family,” says Troy. “And the idea of owning a business in Payson really helps cultivate a sense of belonging to such a wonderful town.” Both Troy and Norma are very passionate about living a healthy lifestyle, so owning a gym was perfect for them. “Fitness serves as a vital and integral part of one’s life,” says Norma who is also a fitness instructor. “Our mission at Payson Total Fitness is to provide our community with health-promoting programs that offer intensive and less intensive, fun-filled physical activity, conducive to wellness and personal development.”

Restaurant ReviewBy Kaye Nelson

My husband and I usu-ally steer clear of chain restaurants. We prefer mom and pop places or hole-in-the-wall eateries. Why? Predictability. We know a chain is going to taste identical to the one down the road with the same blueprint. When you have options, why not pick a place a little more adventurous and less predictable?

Fat Jack’s restaurant in Payson has been in business for more than 25 years so something in its blueprint obviously works. The recipes are the same as those that brought in the first custom-ers and have been perfected over the years.

We ordered the Maui Wowie salad and several pizzas – a Mambo Combo which employee Camille Lusty said is one of the most pop-ular. She said another oft-or-dered pizza is the Triple Bypass that offers double servings of all the meats and extra cheese making it excruciatingly delicious.

While we waited for our pizza we sampled our salad and the “cheesestix.” Warning: there will be gushing about the cheesestix momentarily.

The salad wasn’t a measly little thing. It was massive and piled high with warm chicken, bacon, almonds, pineapple and mozzarella cheese.

“The salad has a good balance of hot and cold,” said Amy Leah Nelson Smith. “The toppings complement each other nicely and each bite tastes fresh.”

Once you’ve tasted Fat Jack’s cheesestix the memory takes up residence in your brain. The thick, soft dough is heaped with cheese that comes out hot and melty and the Western Stix are topped with bacon, tomatoes, onions and green peppers. I will probably sleep walk to Payson sometime in search of those cheesestix.

“It’s like a burst of flavors in your mouth!” exclaimed Jera Parker, biting into the Western

kind. They are really just a simple pizza without the sauce. But the chefs do something magical in the kitchen that makes a memorable taste from bite one. There were no leftovers of those. Nada.

Then came the pizzas: If you’re indecisive or want to try more than one, order halves of various kinds. Besides the Mambo Combo and Triple Bypass we got a sampling of an Islander and a Godfather. Which to try first?

Dave Parker liked the look of the Islander – Canadian bacon and pineapple sprinkled with sliced almonds and a dash of cinnamon. Weird? Maybe. Delicious? Yes.

“It’s really good,” he said. “I can’t figure it out. The cinnamon brings out a different flavor in the pizza and the almonds add an interesting crunch.”

I’ve said before one of the things that makes or breaks a pizza is the crust. Fat Jack’s has got the crust down to a fine art. Just like the memorable cheesestix, it is fabulous for the pizza.

“This is very good crust,” said Riley Nelson, who disapproves of thin crust pizza. “I like tall crust.”

It is soft and the right level of chewy with an appropr i -ate amount of grease. It pleased Riley to no end whose mot to upon entering a pizzeria is “I like greasy pizza.” It’s not “wring-out” greasy – it has

just enough for flavor.All our pizzas had a delicious, appetizing sauce

that enhanced the melding of ingredients and the Triple Bypass had a an extra savory punch from the meat options.

“The Italian sausage has a nice bite to it,” Dave said. It did have a spicy zing that wasn’t mouth numbing, just exciting.

Fat Jack’s is now a “top of our list” choice, even though it’s a drive for us. It is well worth the drive. The Parkers raved about how it is similar to one in Washington they always visit when they’re there. We don’t have to go that far, just down the road to Payson. Thank goodness.

Kaye Nelson, Restaurant Reviewer, grew up in Springville and is a true Red Devil. She knows good food and pays attention when restaurants entice

customers with something out of the ordinary.

Worth the Drive and Your Mouth Will Do A Happy Dance

V ital records and valuable resources for researchGinny’s Genealogical GemsBy Ginny Ackerson - Springville Resident

The standard definition of Vital Records includes birth, marriage and death certificates. In the US the vast majority of these records are kept at a county and state level. However, in the New England states these records were kept on a town level and may include some early land records and mortgages.

Modern birth certificates include parent’s names and ages, child’s name and gender, whether it is a multiple birth, what number child of the mother, date of birth, place of birth, whether born alive, name of the doctor or midwife in attendance, name of the hospital if applicable and/or address of the family. Most jurisdictions did not issue certificates until about 1915; before that, if births were recorded it was in a register which had varying amounts of information. Usually the name, gender, date of birth, parents and place of birth were noted. The registers can be found as far back as 1853 in some areas but most start at a much later date.

Marriage records have been kept in most jurisdictions since their inception. They include names of bride and groom, date and place of marriage and by whom married. Some contain the celebrants’ ages, birth places, occupations and parent’s names, especially if the parties were under age. Some jurisdictions had marriage bonds, marriage applications (very informative document) and marriage returns affirming when the marriage took place.

Death records are similar to birth records in the amount of information recorded; usually the name, age, date and place of death are standard and in later records you can find cause of death, birth date and place, residential address, place and date of burial and an informant’s name.

In New England each town kept vital records and some of these exist from the 1600’s. Most are very basic in the amount of information recorded but some town clerks included many additional family details. Many of these records are online at www.familysearch.org and at various other state and historical websites.

In many states like Louisiana, New Mexico and California early vital records were kept by the churches. Even if later descendants were not Catholic, it is wise to check these records if your family were living in the area before statehood.

To find what records are available in the area you are researching go to www.vitalrec.com but check www.familysearch.org to see if they are available locally before you order anything.

Humilit y-based educationThoughts on ZionBy Jesse Fisher - Salem Resident

In contrast to last time’s discussion of the pride-based school system mentioned in the Book of Mormon, this time we’ll take a first look at a [mostly] humility-based model. Amulon’s Lamanite school system was “pride-based” because it included tax-funded schools and rejected teaching anything to do with God or his prophets.

Until our economy becomes humility-based (Zion-like), no school could be perfectly organized on a foundation of humility towards God and our fellowman. However, I’ve found (and plan to duplicate locally) a school that integrates more humility than I’ve seen in any institution, except the LDS Church. The Sudbury Valley School in Framingham, Massachusetts, is founded on humility in several ways, we have room here to introduce one.

America’s compulsory education model, imported from the German state of Prussia in the 1850s, is rooted in the belief that children are incapable of educating themselves; that “education” is something done to the child, not something the child does.

This is an extremely prideful position to take, considering the literal Father of their spirits is an omniscient God. Children are little learning

machines. They are “programmed” by their Creator to make sense of their world and master it and themselves. Any parent who has watched her infant child acquire new skills on an almost-daily basis would have to agree.

In our arrogance we think that when children turn 5 or 6, they require our guidance to learn. Instead of thinking we know better than the Creator, parents should take a humble approach by cooperating with our children’s God-given drive to learn. What children require to learn is what God gave them: role models, a safe environment, resources, and the freedom to explore and learn at their own pace.

The Sudbury Valley School, which has provided these very elements to students for over 40 years (along with dozens of copy-cat schools around the globe), has never had a single child develop dyslexia who started at their school. They believe this is because no child is pressured to learn to read before their little brains are fully wired for it, they all learn to read the same way they learned to walk and speak a language, both very highly complex skills.

If we are to truly build Zion, as we LDS have covenanted to do, we should consider shedding what President Joseph F. Smith called “false educational ideas” including those we adopted from the Prussians.

5, 2014 when they received a free book from the PTA. Connie Hansen from the Park PTA organized the event to give each Park Elementary student a book. Many smiles were shared as students gathered in the library to choose from

a variety of picture books, chapter books, fiction and non-fiction books as well. After a book was chosen, it was stamped by a PTA member and the book became theirs to keep. One student was so excited he exclaimed “I’m gonna keep this forever!

Rich Wieber’s visited Art City Elementary on January 17 for a school assembly program. This program touches on these themes:• Determination • Goal Setting/Achievement • Dangers of Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco • Peer Pressure • Bullying • Perseverance • Bicycle Safety. The students and teachers were so mesmerized by the stunts Rich and his team were doing that they would forget to cheer. Students and teachers alike really enjoyed the stunts and the message that was shared. The favorite stunt is when three teachers and the principal laid on the floor and were jumped over.

Serve Daily CornerBy Chris Baird - Springville Resident

Well, another month has came and gone. What did you accomplish? Did you improve in some aspect of your life? If not, why? If so, do you know by how much?

Tracking information is highly important. We are accountable for what we do. Plus, tracking information provides a method that we may come to understand how much we have improved over a given time.

For example, I remember my high-school days at Timpanogos High School. Back in ‘97 we had the A day, B day schedule and I have weight lifting on both days. My teacher provided us a tracking sheet where we would record the repetitions and sets of every lift, how much time we ran, and so forth.

It made it easy to track improvement and to help set goals. Moving forward many years, I just learned of a vital statistic about those students who set goals and have them written down. It

was said that 97 percent of students don’t have goals for what they will do after high school/ or college. Given the remaining three percent, they became millionaires.

As you progress through life, realize, that for the most part, you will be able to accomplish most anything you set your mind to. Obviously there are certain limitations and situations where this isn’t possible. However, concentrated work, continual effort, a belief in what you do and as long as you don’t take advantage of your neighbor you should be able to reach your goal.

By Molly Brenchley On Friday, January 31, 2014, the MMHS

Ellevés competed in the State 4A Drill Team Competition held at UVU. The Ellevés placed 2nd in the military category, 2nd in the dance category, and 3rd in the character category. Overall, Maple Mountain placed 2nd. There were seventeen 4A schools competing. This is the first time MMHS Ellevés have taken 2nd overall at State.

Bryn Starkey, daughter of Julie and Chris Starkey, and Jamie Topham, daughter of Michelle and Greg Topham, were named to the Academic All-State Team. Each 4A school could nominate seniors on their team with a GPA of 3.75 or higher. Only ten seniors are named to this team. The combined average of this year’s 4A Academic All-State Team was 3.994.

Three Ellevés were also named to the 4A All-State Dance Team—Madeline Froerer, daughter

of Heather and Fritz Froerer; Laney Melton, daughter of Tanya and Aaron Melton; and Jamie Topham, daughter of Michelle and Greg Topham. Each 4A team sent three girls to learn a routine that they auditioned in front of judges, and then 20 girls were selected as the 4A All-State Dance Team. At State, each member of the All-State Team performed a self-choreographed 8 count routine and was given certificates.

In the 4A Drill Down competition, Laney Melton won first place.

The Utah Dance Drill Association awards two drill team scholarships to two 4A drill team members. The winners are selected based on an essay that each applicant submitted. Emily Peery was one of the scholarship winners for 4A.

The Ellevés would like to thank all of the students, parents, administration, and fans who came to State. We really appreciate all of your support this year!

By Eduardo Cisneros A highlight for the Nebo School Board of

Education is to meet with students from each of the high schools and junior high schools on a quarterly basis. Each Youth Board representative is selected by his/her principal to be a spokesperson for their school.

The Nebo School Board took this opportunity to ask the Youth Board students questions concerning readiness for mathematics, high

school, college, and perspective careers as well as other preparedness questions.

An advantage of these group discussions for students is to learn from each other and implement successful ideas in their own schools. This sharing opportunity promotes friendships between the schools in our Nebo School District that is growing about 1,000 students yearly with over 30,500 students this year.

Applied Wealth10 | Serve Daily February 2014

“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

Members of “Networking Nights,” a group of business leaders from south Utah Valley, learned why most New Years’ resolutions simply don’t work. The group’s founders, Laraine and Chuck Chamberlain, presented two critical steps that are almost always missing in goal-setting processes.

“These are things no one talks about,” said Chuck Chamberlain. “First, it is extremely important to be grateful for what you DO have; otherwise you may obsess so much on the ‘gap’ between what you have and what you want, you’ll be focusing on ‘scarcity’ instead of on abundance.” Laraine lead the group through an exercise in which they completed the sentence: “I have a great life as evidenced by . . . “

Chuck then offered the second missing element saying, “most people simply do not ‘make room’ for their goals to be accomplished. To put it more simply, when we set a goal we should always decide (and write down) what we are willing to ‘let go of’ in order to accomplish the goal.” Chuck and Laraine discussed the need to allow money, emotions, belongings and resources to flow THROUGH you, not just TO you. Several members of the group described the presentation as “eye opening” and “thought provoking.”

Meetings are 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”). The agenda varies between presentations and “Needs & Leads” sessions. The schedule through April is as follows:

Tuesday Feb 18: Presentation: CopperfishMedia.com - Video Production for

BusinessesWednesday March 5: Presentation: TBDTuesday March 18: “Leads and Needs”Wednesday April 2: “Leads and Needs”Tuesday April 15: Presentation: TBD

Networking Nights welcomes businesses of all kinds and it is free to join. Members are given multiple opportunities to present information about their businesses, are listed in a member directory sent out monthly, and may have the opportunity to be presenters or “highlighted businesses” in the group’s monthly newsletter. Contact Laraine Chamberlain at laraine@chamberlainleadership.com if you are interested.

Congratulations Pam Sloan, owner of StarBright Preschool, on 27 West Main Street in Santaquin. It’s just a coincidence, that their address number equals how many years they have been in business. They have been in Payson, Elk Ridge, and now Santaquin for the last three years.

At StarBright they provide a safe, happy learning environment. Students are praised and encouraged to do their best. Each child learns at their own speed and in their own way. StarBright provides opportunities for individual learning and one-on-one teaching. Students will also learn “School Survival Skills” which will help them continue to succeed in their academic future. The curriculum has been tested and perfected over the past two decades. StarBright teachers are experienced and love to teach, they make learning fun.

Here is a little story about Pam.Once upon a time a little girl loved to play

school. She spent many hours playing teacher, tending her younger brotheres, making up games, coloring Pictures...she just couldn’t wait to grow up.

The little girl soon did grow up. She went to college and got married. She still wanted to be a teacher! She had four children of her own and had fun playing preschool at home. As her children grew so did her preschool. Her daughters also grew up loving teaching and loving preschool.

Pam, loves what she does and it shows. She is passionate about teaching and helping the little ones learn. She has decorated the inside of the school beautifully and once you are inside you forget that Main Street is just out the front windows.

Use the snowball method to get yourself out of debt.Financial TipsBy Ben Glazner

Last month I wrote about paying yourself first, and saving a small amount each time you’re paid and work your way up to saving 10% of your income. I hope you have been able to imple-ment that step and put yourself on the path of financial independence. The next tip I have for you is about making loan payments and elim-inating debt.

There are a couple of things you can do when trying to pay off debt. This first tip to help you pay down debt faster, is to snowball you pay-ments. Many of us have seen cartoon images of a snow ball starting at the top of a hill and watch it grow in size as it rolls down a snowy slope till it’s so large it dwarfs everything in its path. So how does that image apply to loan payments?

Pick a loan with the smallest balance and focus on paying it off as quickly as possible.

Put anything extra you get toward this debt to eliminate it. With tax season upon us, this would be an excellent way to use your tax return. This is where the snowball effect comes into play.

Now that you’ve eliminated a payment; and this is where you will need to exercise some self-control, take the money from that payment you no longer have and increase the payment on another debt by that amount. For example; we’ll say you have two debts, debt 1 - $75 a month, debt 2 - $125 a month. Pay off debt 1 and add the $75 monthly payment to debt 2’s payment for a new payment on debt 2 of $200. This will put more of your monthly payment toward principal and less toward interest and pay your debt off more quickly. Once debt 2 is paid off, add that payment to debt 3, and so on until you’ve eliminated all your debts.

When making loan payments, if you split your payment in half and pay that amount twice a month, you’ll pay your loan off faster and pay

less in interest than if you made one payment each month. To start doing this, you may need to call some of your lenders to see about changing due dates to coincide with your paydays. This is a simple way to pay down your debt faster without paying more. You can do this on every loan except mortgages; most mortgage compa-nies won’t let you do this.

When you make your payment just once a month, you’re accumulating 30 days’ worth of interest before you make your payment; but when you split your payment in half, you pay 15 days of interest and the rest is applied to the principal and reduces the balance of the loan. This way the remaining 15 days, interest is calculated on a smaller dollar amount so when you make the second half of your payment, you will have paid less in interest than if you had made just one regular payment.

Bobsled athlete shares lessons learned on ice: a message of hopeBookLookBy Debbie Balzotti - Springville Resident

Review of “Fire and Ice” by Jeremy C. Holm

Jeremy C. Holm has written a book titled, “Fire on Ice” about the lessons he has learned as a bobsled competitor and coach. The book, published by Cedar Fort Publishing in Springville, is an eclectic collection of his thoughts and experiences.

“My main purpose in writing this book was to spread hope,” said Holm. “One major aspect of my bobsled career has been a battle with and against the disabilities of depression and anxiety. At age 27 I even considered suicide. I know a lot of young people struggle with these same issues. As a young athlete I pushed through and now at age 33 I think I understand more about the struggle.”

His friend Debra Stark-Clark, 1972 US Olympic Gymnastics Team member, met Holm in her classroom the day before she left for the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota in 2004.

She commented, “In 2004, I was one of the most desperate people in the state of Utah. I was ill and headed for surgery. One day before I left for Minnesota I received a phone call from Jeremy Holm, a bobsledder training in Park City, Utah. Jeremy was passionate about serving others, and he had great timing since I needed all the help I could get.”

After several experiences helping athletes and others with their struggles, Holm decided to share his personal stories and some principals he believed could help others.

Holm has based his book on his experiences as a bobsledder which started at a very young age. His father Jeffrey Holm owned High Performance Coatings Inc. and was approached to sponsor the 1998 bobsled team.

“My father was very patriotic and agreed to sponsor the bobsled team. My dad took me with him to go on a run at the new the Park City track. I hated rollercoasters so I don’t know why I agreed but when I stood there wearing my helmet and listening to the safety spiel I felt very calm.”

After an exhilarating ride down the track in the four man sled, he met his mother at the bottom and declared his days of soccer were over. He had found the sport he wanted to participate in for the rest of his of life.

“I had just turned 16 so I was learning to a drive car and a bobsled at the same time. Some people say I still drive cars like they are speeding bobsleds,” Holm confessed with a smile.

After the 2008-2009 season he found himself burned out. After 5 months he accepted a new challenge to do something rewarding and historic.

“Competing was becoming a heavy burden for me,” he said. “I decided to step back. I was able to coach the US Adaptive Bobsled Team and be a part of the National Adaptive Sliding Sport Association. We had 2 categories: seated which is wheelchair and standing which are amputees. We had all ranges of disabilities within those categories.”

As that opportunity ended, Holm decided to return to the ice himself and is currently training to compete. After his personal sled was badly damaged while on loan in 2012, he wasn’t sure if he should walk away from the sport he loved.

“I knew it was the right decision at the time to let another team use my sled because I wanted to help athletes in my sport. Unfortunately when they damaged my sled, they couldn’t fix it. Fortunately I found another sled in Italy and now Dave Meservy, my brakeman and I have been training with it up at the Utah Olympic Park. Our times have been getter faster and faster with the new sled and our coaches who are 2006 Olympic silver medalists Shauna Rohbock and Valerie Fleming.”

The new Utah based bobsled is named “The Phoenix” after the legendary bird. Holm hopes the name will also convey his belief in rising up with second chances.

“I saw the positive power of sport. I want to share my belief in making championship choices and second chances. By writing the book and speaking to youth I hope to bring hope to them. As we watch the Olympics coming in the next few weeks, we all love the enthusiasm. This is what my message is about.”

Catherine Christensen, Cedar Fort Publishing acquisitions editor commented, “With the Winter Olympics coming up, ‘Fire on Ice’ is a timely and inspiring account of being a competitive bobsled athlete and coach. Jeremy Holm provides profound insights into the lessons we can learn from sports and from those individuals who push the boundaries to achieve extraordinary things. Holm shares through this book his exemplary and positive attitude toward life, overcoming real and relatable obstacles.”

John Courtland Searle traveled to Peteetneet Creek in 1850DUP StoriesBy Cynthia Peacock & Janeene Whitelock

The D.U.P. Museum in the City Center in Payson has many pictures and histories of the early settlers of Payson. Featured in this picture is John Courtland Searle. He was born in Butler, Wayne County, New York.He joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on June 1, 1850. He married Jerusia M. Hill on March 20, 1850. On June 8, 1850, driving a team of oxen, started their journey west. They arrived in Salt Lake City on September 23, 1850. Then in October they traveled to Payson. With James Pace and AJ Stewart and families they were the first settlers on what was then called Peteetneet Creek.John and Jerusia’s first child, a girl, was born January 30, 1851. She was the first white child born in Payson, but she died as an infant. They camped in their wagons during the first winter. The next spring more Pioneers came, and by fall they had built some log homes and a school house.He plowed the first irrigation ditch in Payson. That ditch has never been changed and has been there for over eighty years. He also helped build two forts. He took an active part in the Walker War in 1853 and in the Black

Hawk War in 1865. He made two trips back to the Missouri River for the Saints, thus making five trips across the plains by wagon and ox-team.On April 9, 1857 he married Maria J. Hill. He was the father of 23 children, 116 grandchildren, 197 great grandchildren and 9 great great grandchildren. He died in Payson on November 17, 1920 at the age of 92.Come learn more about the history of Payson at the Museum

By Kayli Champneys At Mary Reeder’s “All Things Art” Studio in

Springville, there is a talented group of 11th and 12th graders who are preparing for different paths in the art field through apprenticeships. The six current apprentices include, Niki Parish, (home schooled); Madi Peterson, (Springville high school); Kayli Champneys, (home schooled); Brenn Marwaring, (Springville high school); Rachel Everett, (Maple Mountain high school); and Noah Allen, (Springville high school).

“The goal of apprenticeships is to help each apprentice become proficient in many disciplines.” – Mary Reeder

The apprentices spend anywhere from nine to twenty hours a week at the studio and are preparing their portfolios for different schools, colleges, universities, academies and apprenticeships with other professional artists in the near future. They also work on commissions as well.

“At Mary’s studio, we have more time to work on the projects of our choosing.” – Noah Allen

“All Things Art” is going on its 17th year

of apprenticeships and has had three-dozen apprentices so far (by invitation only).

An apprenticeship at Mary’s studio is “…the diving board into the pool of art.” – Mary Reeder

Following the theme of the studio, “service through art,” the apprentices and advanced students have many opportunities to serve the community and obtain positive exposure. One of these opportunities is the current art show at Duke’s Jewelers on Main Street featuring artwork by Rachel Everett, Katya Fullmer and Bill Sturgis. Students also have artwork hanging up on the walls of the Art City Medical Center, and in 2012 produced over one hundred masks for the Springville City masquerade ball. Some upcoming projects the advanced class will be working on this year include a community service project at the Springville library on March 27th and an art show at Reeder’s studio in April.

“We are a team of artists,” says Madi Peterson “We each have separate pieces, but we still ALL work together.”
