WHAT’S IN A NAME? By Dave Hennessey

When TURN Community Services opened its new Day Center in Spanish Fork in April of this year, local TURN administrators knew that this unique program deserved

a unique name. The Center was established to provide daytime activities for people with disabilities who live in communities such as Spanish Fork, Springville, Santaquin, Payson, and Salem. This Center is unique, however, as it also has an “arts” emphasis, and features instruction and experiences in painting, sculpture, music, photography, and other mixed media fi ne arts. Hence, the name, “TURN Community and Arts Center”!

A Community CenterTURN Day Programs, or community centers, provide a 9am to

3pm “home base” for people with developmental disabilities to learn and grow together. The centers offer a variety of activities, such as work skill development, learning and practicing hobbies, holiday celebrations, and community recreation and educational outings. Day Program services began in Utah in the early 1980’s, as an alternative to the “sheltered workshop” model that evolved a decade earlier. While sheltered workshops often featured ware-house type facilities with assembly and production projects, day programs began to focus more on social and recreational oppor-tunities. Day Service recipients may be individuals who are no longer able to work, are learning skills to prepare them for a work setting, or do not desire employment.

An Arts CenterTURN’s Community and Arts Center in Spanish Fork is an in-

novative day program that is dedicated to the artistic development Continued on page 7

Hope for Tomorrow concertBy Brent Crane

The holiday season is my favorite time of the year for so many reasons. Great food, quality time spent with fam-ily, festive and nostalgic activities to choose from, and the spread of goodwill as people forget self and turn their atten-tion to the needs of others all represent just some of the reasons why it becomes special for me.

Managing a non-profi t agency is hard work, but it is also very rewarding. My job affords me a front row seat to all that is good in our community. For 25 years I’ve witnessed parents who’ve been brought through our doors by their children who collected a few pounds of food, an envelope with a few dollars in change, or a bag of used clothes in tow; a parent who sponsors Christmas for a

less fortunate person in honor of a de-ceased child; a caterer and family who donates their food services on a holiday so our staff can spend time with theirs. My point? – Just an illustration of the goodness in people that I’ve found to be so characteristic within our community.

On Saturday, December 6th, the inau-gural HOPE FOR TOMORROW concert will again showcase both the generosity and supreme talent that our community has to offer in a Christmas benefi t con-cert that will support the mission of the Food & Care Coalition. Lyle Hadlock and a host of local top tier talent will share their musical talents that will ig-nite the holiday spirit within. Hand craft-ed hope chests donated by local builders will also be available for auction. Hope Chests will be on display at the Food & Care Coalition (299 E. 900 S., Provo)

LIBERTY SHALL BE MAINTAINED

Understanding LibertyBy Josh Daniels

The Responsibilities of Liberty“We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” –Preamble to the US Constitution

Americans often talk about “the blessing of liberty” secured by our constitution. However, less

frequently do we hear about the respon-sibilities of liberty. The preamble makes clear who is responsible for securing the blessings of liberty—“we the people of the United States.” Establishing the Con-stitution was only the fi rst step. Respon-sibility for the maintenance of freedom in our land falls to us—the heirs of lib-erty. Benjamin Franklin gave additional insight into the challenge we would face to maintain our system of self-govern-ment when he responded to a question posed to him by a woman outside the close of the constitutional convention:

Question: “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?”

Franklin: “A Republic, if you can keep it.”

Franklin understood a few things in his response. First, republican govern-ment was not something that would exist in perpetuity without active participation by the people. And second, that the re-sponsibility rested with the people. That same responsibility extends to each of us today. In some ways we have let the founders down by modifying our system into more of a popular democracy than a republic and by ceding ever increas-ing power and authority to centralized government rather than maintaining the reserved powers of the people as envi-sioned by our 10th Amendment. Howev-er, this week we have an opportunity to participate in our civic responsibilities by exercising our right to vote. But merely voting is not a complete fulfi llment of our responsibility—our vote must also be informed.

We must actively pay attention to the actions of our government and vote for those who will defend our republican form of government and protect our lib-erty. This requires careful examination and scrutiny. Alexis De Tocqueville in

his book “Democracy in America” ex-plained how the power of a government executive in a republic can undermine liberty without the obvious indicators of monarchical rule: “when a republic falls under the sway of a single individual, the demeanor of the sovereign is simple and unpretending, as if his authority was not yet paramount…it is therefore necessary to look below the surface.”

Are we looking below the surface when we examine the actions of execu-tive government? To secure the blessings of liberty requires an active participa-tion on our part in the responsibilities of liberty. Victor Frankl, a psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor who wrote the book “Man’s Search for Meaning” said:

“Freedom, however, is not the last word. Freedom is only part of the story and half of the truth. Freedom is but the negative aspect of the whole phenome-non whose positive aspect is responsible-ness. In fact, freedom is in danger of de-generating into mere arbitrariness unless it is lived in terms of responsibleness. That is why I recommend that the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast be supple-mented by a Statue of Responsibility* on the West Coast.”

Frankl’s observation builds on Frank-lin’s by calling on the people to be ac-tive participants in liberty if they are to preserve it. As heirs of liberty each of us must live up to our responsibilities. I hope you will cast your informed vote on Election Day this November 4th and then continue to be an active participant in your community and a diligent observ-er of our government.

*Frankl’s vision for a statue of respon-sibility is being realized. The Responsi-bility Foundation in Utah has commis-sioned local Mapleton sculptor Gary Price who has completed a prototype depicting clasped hands as the symbol of responsibility.

Pack 637 awards Arrow of LightBy Tess Jones

Gavin Jones recently was awarded his Arrow of Light from Pack #0637 Kolob 7th ward on Wednesday, October 22 Pack Night. He was also recognized for completing all 20 activity badges in the Webelos Handbook on Wednesday, Sep-tember 24. Gavin has participated in nu-merous service projects in his ward and with Springville Self Defense Leader-ship Academy and has helped other cub scouts with their endeavors.

Gavin shared, “I had the best den leaders. My parents were also very sup-portive with helping me complete my re-quirements. I couldn’t have done it with-out any of their help. I can’t thank them all enough.”

(Serve Daily would like to thank all the scout leaders who volunteer count-less hours to help the youth.)

Remember God is in your corner

By Chuck SwisherFive of us crammed in a mini van and

got on the road to Utah from Oklahoma. We went a week early to help the Jones family out and workout and get use to the altitude. It was a gorgeous week in Utah and then of course rain all day for the bullfi ght. The arena was sloppy but the atmosphere was unreal.

I had the opportunity to meet an amaz-ing young lady by the name of Brooke who is battling type 1 diabetes. Right off the bat Brooke and I hit it off and be-came friends and I knew she was pulling for me to win. When we took the group picture I told Brooke to hold her fi nger in the air because that’s what we were going for “number 1”.

A lot of the guys were worried about our safety in the mud and the bulls safety as well. I put my faith in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and trusted that He would protect everyone and everything that entered into the arena. I didn’t let the mud and rain get in my head, but entered the arena as a gladiator, Gods gladiator, ready to go to battle. My thought was to see a smile so big and bright on such a young girl fi ghting such a bad thing, how could I be worried about rain and mud. It was a true act of God that Brooke and I got to meet that day and I thank Him for that.

I fought both of my bulls winning the long round with 82 points and winning the short round with 89 also winning high mark bullfi ght of the night. It was a huge blessing to have the chance to fi ght such great Bulls from the Hookin A Ranch and getting to travel with my best friends. The best blessing of all was after the bullfi ght Brooke found me and she told me “We hold our fi nger up for

number 1 because I know that’s what we are”. I donated my buckle I won from the event to Brooke because it was be-cause of her that I had won the event and she deserved it.

Brooke is my hero and I look up to her tremendously and thank God for her daily. It’s unreal all the times Brooke has had to poke her fi nger or insert a new site in her and she still carries around that gorgeous smile. I believe God is the one going to heal her and I know with the amount of faith she has He will.

I don’t want or need any praise for any of this, God deserves all the glory for everything in my life. Thanks to Gary Jones and everyone that was a part of the 1st Annual JDRF Freestyle Bullfi ght for creating an awesome event. We are all stoked to come back next year. And to all of the young kids fi ghting this disease, keep your head up and remember Gods in your corner.

WW II Submarine BaseBy F. Keith Davis

After we went ashore on Utah Beach, in th area of St. Mere Egless, we fought our way up the coast to Brest, France. Brest had the largest Submarine Base in the world at that time. This is where the Nazi Submarine Wolf Packs would go into the Atlantic Ocean and sink millions of tons of Allied Shipping, most heading for England or Europe. Thousands of soldiers, Merchant Marines, Sailors and Civilians lost their lives with the sinking of so many ships.

Our observation battalion dug in close e to the Submarine Base. We were the eyes and ears of the Field Artillery and directed Artillery Fire on the base. The Base was surrounded by hundreds of An-ti-Aircraft guns on three sides.

We watched a lot of American B-17 Bombers make bombing raids over this base. We could see black puffs of An-ti-American gun shells bursting among the bombers. When a B-17 was hit and would lose a wing it would dive in a large circle and then crash into the ground or ocean. If both wings were still intact and was disabled it would dive straight down. Every time a B-17 was destroyed, 10 young American men would lose their lives. Sometimes we would see one or two white parachutes plume out, but not often.

We had two huge black French Mo-roccans adopt our outfi t at Brest. They wore Moroccan style baggy trousers and the only weapons they had were huge Sa-bers. They would sleep under our trucks in the daytime and eat our food. At night, they would go behind enemy lines and kill “Bosch”. Bosch was American slang for German Soldiers. (The Moroccan’s didn’t like the Nazi’s because they tre-aeted them so badly in French Morocco.) They spent three days with us and we never saw them again.

Our Artillery fi red in this base from the ground, the Air Force bombed it from the air, and the Navy shelled it from the sea. After much fi re power and many days, the Nazi High Command capitulat-ed and the Submarine Base surrendered.

Our 16th Field Observation Battal-ion went on to fi ght at St. Lo, Parris, Battle of the Bulge, Koblenz, cross the Rhine River, liberate the Ohrdruf Con-centration Camp (First one liberated on the Western Front), the Sudaten Land, Nuremburg and Czechoslovakia when the War in Eurpoe ended May 8, 1945.

From the time we went ashore on Utah Beach until the war’s end I was on the front lines the whole time. I know that Freedom is not Free.

(Serve Daily would like to thank all Men and Women who have served, are currently serving, or will serve to protect the freedoms afforded by God and The Constitution of the United States.)

Thanksgiving Dinners for HeroesBy Je� rey Mitchell

Operation Bald Eagle is a charity serving those who protect us. “Serving Heroes” is about giving back to those who give their all to us in their time of need. When we were established it was about creating programs that honor those who serve and their families.

We know that the families sacrifi ce a great deal when their family member is serving as a Soldier, Airmen, Sailor or Marine. That’s why we wanted to ensure that our programs counted the families as an integral part of the programs that we provide.

Can you imagine for a moment that your loved one is serving abroad in a hostile environment and isn’t able to be seated at the table during the holidays? Or to communicate via video conference only to see a blast fl ash behind the screen and the conference ends with no further communication. These aren’t just stories but reality for many of these families.

Not to mention missing the birth of their children, graduations, sporting events and graduations just to name a few. This is why Operation Bald Eagle was created. As I have been asked more than once as to why we do this and is it really necessary.

To be honest when we provided a fundraiser for a young Marine who had just returned from Iraq dying from brain cancer and wasn’t expected to see his next child born. Someone asked me: “Why do you do this? If a garbage man was dying would you care about that?” I restrained my response and re-plied: “Ma’am all life is precious. But this young man decided that instead of graduating high school and living it up.

This young man decided to put on an 80 pound pack in 120 degree temperatures, go through 8 gallons of water and put himself in harms way so that you and I can enjoy the freedoms we do every day. I think that deserves a little more…don’t you Ma’am?” She agreed.

We work with local businesses to so-licit donations to create as many Thanks-giving Dinners for Heroes in hopes of making their holiday a little less diffi -cult. We are only as effective as those who get behind us to ensure that we are able to give back to these families during the holidays and throughout the year.

Desert dirt bike racing, a family sportBy Steve F. Gray

We are all very familiar and are in-undated with sports every day. We see them on TV, internet and our local high schools and colleges. These events en-tertain us on a daily basis, and we be-come part of the masses cheering for our team or our athlete. One sport that many people may be unfamiliar with is desert racing on dirt bikes.

A desert dirt bike race is a marked course through desert terrain. The catch is that the rider cannot pre-ride the course like they can in motocross. They do not know what lies ahead except for various desert obstacles. These races are approximately 100 miles in length for the bigger bikes and around 40 for the mini bikes. Even pee wee 50cc bikes run around 1 mile to 2 miles. Even here in Utah we have two National races that get no attention except in the racing commu-nity.

One thing I have learned about des-ert dirt bikers is that they are passionate about what they do. This is generally a family activity. When the weekend comes approaching a race, big rigs as well as single vehicles swarm an area on the desert known as the pit area. Fam-ilies gather together for a weekend of racing, but more importantly a time well spent with family and friends. The rac-ing community is a big family in itself. People mingle and reminisce about fam-ily and past races. Everyone is willing to help each other with their bike setups, or just lend a hand setting up camp.

I have learned over the past few years being exposed to this sport that these people are unique. They love riding! They live for riding! They dream riding! They spend working hours waiting for the whistle to blow so they can go riding. I see Facebook posts of riders texting that they will be riding on a certain day

and ask if anybody wants to go. They develop a camaraderie with fellow dirt bikers, and they develop friends for life.

In a time when life is tough for kids, families are bonded by desert racing. Through racing fathers and mothers teach their children the value of life, friendship and family. They support each other whether they have a good or bad day racing. What matters most is that they are together.

Even though desert racers are compet-itive, they will be the fi rst to stop when another has fallen or is hurt. More im-portant than winning is the fact that they are doing what they love. They are rid-ing. They are riding with their family and friends. They are enjoying the adrenaline and release of tension that everyday life gives us.

Thanks desert dirt bikers for letting me take photos of you and being a part of your family.

Follow Your Dreams CHASING THE LIGHT

As I contemplate the past 35 years of being able to live my passion - that of expressing myself and making a fi ne liv-ing as a sculptor - I cannot help but recall some of the challenges and even some of the heartaches along the way. So often when we see someone at the pinnacle of their career or reaping the fruits of their labors we are oblivious to their struggles and challenges to get to the top of that particular mountain. And not only that, ofttimes those who have made the ascent, forget themselves or undermine their ac-complishments simply out of being so passionate about their desires that there could be no other way. There was not even a question as to making the journey and arriving at their destination! Those of us that have climbed the peaks and at times ‘waged the wars’ so to speak, also intentionally or subconsciously, block out some of those battles because of their pain and sometimes bloody wounds.

For example - as a highly visible sculptor, oft times my work is plagia-rized or copied by those wishing to profi t from my creativity - to the extreme that I’ve had to spend exorbitant amounts to not only protect my copyrights but prove in courts of law that it was my original idea in the fi rst place! Memories that have caused me massive discourage-ment several years ago, not to mention resources. It was like, why would I go to such great lengths to come up with highly successful and popular sculptures that were derived from personal life’s experiences, only to have unscrupulous companies copy them and then sell them at prices far below what I can even pro-duce them for - because I choose to not have them cast in China. And then there are the struggles and pressures of being responsible for others livelihoods via bi-monthly payrolls.

What qualities would I say one must have who chooses to ‘chase the light’ and follow their dream and passion? Of course the obvious would be courage

and ‘stick-to-it-ness’. But the real lynch-pins I would have to say are FAITH and PASSION. PASSION is that desire that cannot be stopped. A very well known contemporary of mine once said “I’d sculpt even if it was illegal!” It’s that enthusiasm and deeply soul-rooted DNA that stirs not only one’s own blood - but mankind’s! Bottom line though -- one must simply have FAITH in so many things. Some call it hope. Same thing. It’s somehow thinking that the Universe is not only able, but is going to align a whole bunch of stuff in order for some-thing to come to pass. As it says in Paulo Coehlo’s book, THE ALCHEMIST “the universe ‘conspires’ to make one’s very clear intentions happen!”. It’s a daily faith in people, places, emotions, things, etc. etc. Sometimes we even resort to su-perstition to get us through the struggles. I simply say ‘whatever it takes’ .... an-gels, messengers, higher powers, guard-ian angels, sculpture gods - whatever; I know I can do it, I know it can be done, I know it will turn out. And with each new creation, my faith builds! Gary Lee Price - FNSS

The Origin of the Springville High School “Red Devil” Mascot

By M. Lee TaylorThe origin of the “Red Devil” mascot

of Springville High School is often at-tached to an error which has been per-petuated in history. It has often been stated that when they built the original high school buildings in either 1909 or 1914, some of the Red Devil Cement bags were found at the construction site, which gave the impetus to claim the “Red Devil” as the school mascot.

The Red Devil Cement company was founded at Devils Slide sometime around 1909, however there is no indi-cation that any of the Red Devil Cement was used in construction of the original High School buildings. However, it is a fact that some of the Red Devil Cement bags were found on the site of the con-struction of the Art Gallery in 1936. So, what was the origin of the “Red Devils” as the mascot for the high school?

In an article published in the Springville Herald on March 26, 1936, entitled “Athletic Achievements of Springville High”, long time teacher and Springville High School booster, James F. Wingate gave an account of the origin of the “Red Devil” name.

“A.O. Peterson who followed Baxter as coach established a most enviable record during the three years he was

here. Winning the division every year in football and basketball, the Utah Coun-ty track meet one year and in 1921 the state basketball championship. It was

in the state tournament of 1921 that our school was dubbed the fi ghting “Red Devils.” Their efforts were crowned

with success supreme when on the last

night they nosed out the much touted Dixie team by two points. The game had to go one extra period and Paul Thorn,

later coach of the Springville Red Devils, made the deciding basket. This team went to the national tournament

and while they did not win, they played well and fought hard for glory of the

Springville High.”To quote the above referenced article,

“It was in the state tournament of 1921 that our school was dubbed the fi ghting ‘Red Devils’”.

So, the “Red Devil” was initiated by determination and achievement in 1921, and solidifi ed in concrete in 1936.

The ACMF is a highly unique expe-rience. Songwriters, singers, instrumen-tal musicians, writers, poets and artists come from all over the West to partic-ipate. They will meet like-minded per-formers, form into writing/performing groups, and slam out a song in just eight hours.

This year the ACMF has added a songwriting workshop “The 7 Elements of a Successful Song” by a former music instructor at the University of Utah. This concise, insightful class will help get ideas churning and will offer direction for those who are newer to the songwrit-ing craft.

The bulk of the day will be spent in self-contained songwriting groups. The participants will break into groups of their own choosing, brainstorm togeth-er, collaborate on music and lyrics, and test their ideas by rehearsing. They will write and rewrite, sing and play, hone and polish. Their songs will benefi t from the “cross-pollination of ideas” and - ul-timately - from the collected experience of their group.

The crowning achievement of the ACMF each year is the concert, where-in the dozen-or-so groups will perform their song: on stage, to a live audience, with amplifi cation and monitoring. This is a perfect opportunity for photos and

recordings. There are also door prizes for the participants. This event is extraordi-nary in that many of the performers will have met for the fi rst time that morning!

One notable example of the impor-tance of meeting and networking with new musicians: the band Star-Off was listed as “one of the best indie bands in the world” (Wiles Magazine “Sum-mer Guide to Independent Artists” July 2014). And - you guessed it! - Star-Off’s Brad Williams and Nathan Standage met at the Art City Music Fest!

Two is Un-bear-ableTwo black bear were removed from

Woodland Hills after taking up residence in this small wooded community. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) received a call over a month ago about a small black bear hanging around a Woodland Hills neighborhood. DWR personnel responded and set up culvert traps to hopefully relocate the nuisance bear. After several attempts, trapping the bear was unsuccessful. The DWR decid-ed to call Wildlife Services who helped tree the bear with dogs. The bear was successfully immobilized and moved to a far away remote location.

Woodland Hills residents were hap-py to see the bear gone, only to get a surprise the next morning when anoth-er bear showed up in the same neigh-borhood. Trapping attempts were again made with no success. A few days later, a Woodland Hills resident found the bear getting into his garbage cans. His hound dogs treed the bear by his house which made it possible for DWR to immobilize it. This second bear was also relocated to

a remote location. It is likely these two young bears were siblings.

Finally! SFHS Marching Band places 3rd, Twice

Rebecca McConnellOctober 11, 2014, BYU Rocky Moun-

tain Marching Band Invitational, it took everything Drum Major Bobby McCo-nnell had to keep from smiling like a Cheshire cat as he slowly walked for-ward to collect the 3rd Place trophy. He nodded at the presenter and careful-ly grasped the trophy, pivoted, walked back to his bands placement, set the Trophy down next to the Spanish Fork High School sign and then went back to resting position next to his fellow Drum Major Tanner Stone. Then he whispered excitedly “Tanner! We just won a Tro-phy!” Tanner whispered back, “I know!” Next to them, the Color Guard Captain, Jada Kent was giggling on the inside. Up in the stands the rest of the SFHS band was going crazy, and the band boosters were no different, even a few tears were shed. This was the fi rst time the SFHS band has placed in a tournament in over fi ve years and the fi rst Trophy that the seniors had ever been awarded. “It was a long time coming and I couldn’t be more happy or proud!” said Senior Bobby Mc-Connell. “I wasn’t sure if we’d ever see one of these!”

Fast forward to October 21st at the Davis Cup competition hosted by Da-vis High School. The Spanish Fork band played their hearts out and performed an awesome show to the Tower of Power routine. Then again they held their breath as the awards were announced. It was a repeat! SFHS was awarded 3rd Place again! “Your turn!” Bobby whispered to Tanner after they executed their sa-lute with Color Guard Co-Captain Seryn Martin. So the Junior stepped forward to

accept the trophy. Now with two awards under their belt,

they went to the Red Rocks Competition in St George on Halloween Day. “I am so proud of them, they did great! And I am excited for Red Rocks!” said Clint Roberts, the Spanish Fork Band Direc-tor. The Band Boosters are giving Clint full credit for making this band what it is. They know he has turned around an almost nonexistent program and he’s got the kids excited and the band is grow-ing again. They are looking forward to see where this band will go over the next few years!

Congratulations Spanish Fork High School Marching Band!”

Shop with a Cop seeks donations

By Matt JohnsonAs we enjoy the lovely fall weather,

I would like to ask you to look ahead to the Christmas season. The Spanish Fork City Police Department is current-ly making preparations to coordinate the 25th Annual Shop With A Cop Program which will take place on Saturday, De-cember 13, 2014 at the Spanish Fork K-Mart.

The Shop With A Cop Program in-volves law enforcement offi cers from all agencies in Utah County, donating their time to take a group of children on a Christmas shopping spree. Children are selected by referrals from social service agencies. Donated gift cards are provid-ed to each child who then select Christ-mas gifts for their family members while shopping at K-Mart.

The children are paired with uni-formed law enforcement offi cers who travel with the children in their police vehicles to the Festival of Lights. After traveling through the Festival of Lights the children and offi cers travel to a lo-cal school where breakfast is prepared

and served. Upon completion of break-fast the offi cers and children return to K-Mart where the Christmas shopping spree begins.

In order to provide a successful pro-gram, Shop With A Cop needs sponsor-ship. The goal for 2014 is to take at least 150 children shopping. I am asking that you consider making a donation to the Shop With A Cop program to help Utah County Law Enforcement Offi cers make Christmas a little more enjoyable for these children and their families.

We are also in need of volunteers to wrap packages on the morning of De-cember 13th. If you are available to volunteer your time please contact the K-Mart Service Desk at 801-798-9856.

To help sponsor our program, please make checks payable to “K-Mart Shop With A Cop” and mail to Lieutenant Matt Johnson, C/O Spanish Fork City Police Department, 789 West Center Street, Spanish Fork, Utah, 84660. For non-monetary donations or further infor-mation, please contact Lieutenant John-son at 801-804-4722. E-mail mjohn-son@spanishfork.org.

Springville Self Defense Leadership Academy serving at Jaker’s Jack-O-Lan-terns.

Service Project & LeadershipBy Tess Jones

Springville Self Defense Leadership Academy and Jaker’s Jack-O-Lanterns teamed up on a service project on Thurs-day, October 16, 2014. Allen Hughes owner of Springville Self Defense Leadership Academy and Jake Harward owner of Jaker’s Jack-O-Lanterns gave several students the opportunity to work together while helping others.

Allen Hughes shared, “The purpose of this service project was to teach our students to work hard for what they want and to pay it forward. We want our stu-dents to be confi dent in themselves, to be confi dent in leading others and to be great leaders. We believe that leadership builds confi dence, awareness and a way to work together.”

Several students helped at Jaker’s Jack-O-Lantern in harvesting pump-kins for an hour. Each student lead by Sabunim Forrest Greening worked at the pumpkin patch from 6 to 7 PM harvest-ing pumpkins. Sabunim Forrest Green-ing along with a couple of parent help-

ers, Paul Jones and Richard Pryor cut the pumpkins off the vines carefully with a sharp knife while the students handled the pumpkins very gently. The students cleaned off the pumpkins and placed them in a row. For their hard work, Mr. Jake Harward allowed each student to pick a pumpkin of their choice from the pumpkin patch. Once each student had their choice of pumpkin, they each gave that pumpkin to a family struggling fi -nancially, or family who had medical is-sues, or a friend who has been struggling making friends.

Many of the students had enjoyed this activity and felt very happy serving the community. They felt even more excited with giving their pumpkin as a gift.

Brynn Jones, age 6 and a Hapkido Kid student shared, “I gave my pumpkin to my nana. She got hurt and had surgery. My nana couldn’t go to the store because she has to rest so she can get better.”

Heather Pryor, age 10 and a Hapkido student shared, “I gave my pumpkin to a family friend who is currently struggling fi nancially due to a loss of employment.

Animal Shelter Benefi ts from Children’s Generosity

By Heathre Hone When Becky Lamoreaux asked her

son, Nathan, what he wanted for his 8th birthday, he told her he wanted to follow in his sisters’ footsteps and give all of his birthday money to the South Utah Val-ley Animal Shelter (SUVAS) in Spanish Fork.

The Lamoreaux generosity started with Kali. In fi rst grade, her school class took a tour of the SUVAS and she re-membered seeing the cats out front. So, when she was 10 years old, she decid-ed to ask for monetary donations for the shelter instead of birthday gifts. She was able to raise $114.01 for the animals. “I like to help animals. I don’t like seeing the animals in there.” Her favorite thing to do is “helping, and doing something good and important.”

For her 9th birthday, Kara decided she had too much stuff and didn’t need any more. Her birthday invitations also asked her guests to bring money for the animal shelter. When she delivered her $50 donation, she got a tour and loved seeing the animals she was helping. Kara was happy to learn her donations gave 10 animals vaccinations.

Nathan’s eighth birthday party result-ed in a $90 donation. He, too, got a tour

of the shelter and was able to hold a cat. Giving runs deep in the Lamoreaux

family. Becky gathers food from local grocery stores to take to Tabitha’s Way, a charity in Spanish Fork which helps families in need with food and clothing.

Even though Becky was shocked at fi rst when her children didn’t want gifts for their birthdays, she said that the par-ties were actually more fun and they weren’t “gimme, gimme.” The parties were amazing and more about having fun and playing instead of “stuff.” The Lamoreaux family would like to set a trend of focusing on charity and giving.

Local musicians record benefi t song for The Primary Children’s Hospital

By Lin BryantOn Saturday November 8th, the lead

singers from 15 of some of the best local bands in Utah will be getting together to record a song that we hope will raise the awareness of children confi ned to hospitals over the Christmas holidays. The song is titled “Give Ourselves For Christmas” and was written by local mu-sician, Michael E. Coones. The session will mark the fi rst of it’s kind in Utah. Michael and the band he plays in, Dan-ger Alley, hope this project will make a difference in the lives of a lot of children this holiday season. The event will be fi lmed for a video release on the internet and the song will be released as a single on iTunes with all proceeds going to The Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City.

The Christmas holidays are very spe-cial to children and many wonderful memories are made at this time of year. We are hoping we can do something for the unfortunate ones who will miss being home, among family and other loved ones on Christmas this year. We are hopeful this will remind others how grateful their lives are and get people to time and resources to visit these children and try to make their time there a bit less lonely.

Michael shared this when asked about the inspiration for a project of this big, “I got this idea from watching the ”We Are The World” video on youtube. That video touched my heart, and I realized that all of the local bands could do the same thing and make a difference in our own community here in Utah. We are all very excited about this project and our ability to use the musical gifts that we have been given to help others is truly wonderful.”

Thoughts on ZionBy Jesse Fisher

Gathering Israel to Zion

The spirit of Zion, of cooperation and mutual benefi t, which charac-terized the Saints’ temporal labors

upon arriving in the Great Basin in 1847, carried over in their efforts to assist oth-ers to “gather to Zion” as well.

LDS historian Leonard J. Arrington reported how in 1849 the Perpetual Em-igrating Fund was established to accom-plish the work of the gathering of Israel and thus fulfi ll the pledge made back in Nauvoo to “assist the poor in emigrat-ing”. In its fi rst year, $6,000 was raised in donations among the Saints. The funds were used to buy wagons and provisions back East to successfully bring 2,500 souls to the Salt Lake Valley who had re-mained in Winter Quarters.

The Fund’s workings and general pur-pose were described in a First Presiden-cy Letter dated 6 October 1849: “....the Funds are to be appropriated in the form of a loan, rather than a gift; and this will make the honest in heart rejoice, for they love to labor, and be independent by their labor, and not live on the charity of their friends; while the lazy idlers, if any such there be, will fi nd fault, and want every luxury furnished them for their journey, and in the end, pay nothing. The Perpet-ual Emigrating Fund will help no such

idlers; we have no use for them in the Valley, they had better stay where they are... these funds are designed to increase until Israel is gathered from all nations, and the poor can sit under their own vine and inhabit their own house, and worship God in Zion.”

Until the US Government destroyed it using the Edmunds-Tucker Act, in nearly 40 years the Fund spent around $12 mil-lion to gather about 100,000 Saints to the Territory.

Historian Philip A. M. Taylor de-scribed this herculean effort thus:

“The great impetus [for the immigra-tion effort] came from a belief integral to the LDS faith in the mid-nineteenth century: ‘gathering to Zion.’ Believed literally and fervently, this tenet was nearly as fundamental as baptism. It re-enacted the gathering of the Israelites to the Promised Land and was a necessary preparation for the coming of Christ in the ‘Last Days.’”

If you think that was impressive, wait until next time when we review the Zi-on-like efforts that happened when those immigrating Saints fi nally arrived in Zion.

Classroom Grants Given in October by Nebo Education Foundation

By Lana HiskeyThe Nebo Education Foundation

functions through generous donations made by individuals and businesses. The Foundation helps enrich students’ ed-ucation in Nebo School District. These grants are funded through the fund-rais-ing efforts of the Nebo Education Foun-dation board. The foundation also ac-cepts donations from individuals and businesses to support projects.

“That’s what the foundation is all about – to give our students the best ed-ucational opportunities possible through classroom grants,” said Lana Hiskey, ex-ecutive director.

Congratulations to the following teachers that continue to inspire the minds of students.

Orchard Hills Elementary – Heather Bond First-Grade Teacher

“I am so grateful to have received a grant from the Nebo Foundation for the purchase of a divided rug for our fi rst grade classroom! Much of our instruction in fi rst grade takes place on the carpeted area, and having a defi ned space for each child on the rug reduces management issues, helps students focus, eases class-room transitions and facilitates learning. Having this wonderful rug will allow me to spend less time on management and more time on instruction. Thank you, Nebo Foundation!” stated Heather Bond.

Spring Lake Elementary – Susan Crook, Hailey Poulsen, Erica Fordinani, and AnnaMarie Franks Sixth-Grade Teachers

“Thank you so much for the grant!

We are using it to purchase four sets of sixth-grade math warm-ups, aligned with the new math core. These are sets that will be used regularly in the classroom as spiral reviews and will be a valued re-source in our classrooms for many years to come. We are so pleased and grateful for this generous grant!” replied Susan Crook, Hailey Poulsen, Erica Fordiani, and AnnaMarie Franks.

Wilson Elementary – Laura Ross Sixth-Grade Teacher

Laura Ross said, “Thank you so much for the approved grant money for books. The variety of books that will be used in the reading groups, science activities and other areas will benefi t many students. Being able to purchase KidsDiscover books will aid in the teaching of the core Science and Social Studies Units. The grant for these books and many other high-interest books for the Sixth Grade Students at Wilson Elementary is appre-ciated very much.”

Congrats to Sierra Bonita Elementary – Shelly Gillies Kindergarten Teacher, Mapleton Elementary – Whitney Ander-son Kindergarten Teacher, Sierra Bonita – Suzee Anderson Physical Education Technician, Salem Junior High – Dan-iel Stolworthy Marching Band Teacher, Foothills Elementary – Alana Hunter First-Grade Teacher, Sierra Bonita – Maria Mathews Second-Grade Teacher, Sage Creek Elementary – Marsha Ras-mussen Media Specialist, Payson High – Linda Ann Walter Physics Teacher, Mapleton Elementary – Jeri Thompson First-Grade Teacher, and Spanish Fork Junior – Kristina Holley Theatre Teach-er.

Generous donations provides violins to Foothills ElementaryBy Mrs. Pamela Roberts

Mrs. Roberts, at Foothills Elementa-ry, loves to play the violin. This summer some very generous people, including the Nebo Education Foundation, donated a sizable sum of money so Mrs. Roberts could share this incredible instrument with her class. Mrs. Roberts purchased

30 violins through Boothe Brothers Mu-sic and along with several other instru-ment donations has been able to provide a violin for each student in her class. They work on this new skill for a few minutes each day and are made their de-but performance for their parents at the end of October where they performed a couple of Halloween pieces at a readers’ theater.

Review of “Make Every Day Meaningful” Realize, Record, and Remember Life’s Grand Lessons By Randal A. Wright

“God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.” James M. Barrie (author of Peter Pan)

I found it. A book that motivates me to improve my journal writing so I can have roses in December.Writers are often too busy writing for

deadlines to write their own story. We have perfected procrastination, harsh self-criticism, and we get writer’s block. Sound familiar? “I can’t write my per-sonal history because I am too busy, I’m a terrible writer and I don’t know what to write.”

Make Every Day Meaningful is the book I found while searching for a book about gratitude to review for November. Sometimes a book chooses you.

The gratitude chapter titled, “Learn to Be Grateful Every Day” includes in-spirational quotes, personal stories and encouraging words. Wright observes that less than ten percent of attendees express gratitude to speakers, teachers and musi-cians who serve them in Sunday church meetings.

In his travels as a speaker and au-thor, he rarely sees those who have spent many hours in preparation and presenta-tion thanked by those they serve. A Sun-day School teacher told him that only a handful of people thanked her during her almost fi ve years of teaching.

“Over the years, I’ve had the respon-sibility of asking hundreds of people to speak at forums held for LDS college stu-dents. During that time, I have watched on multiple occasions as not one person approached the speaker afterwards,” wrote Wright.

I recently received a letter from Springville Mayor Wilford W. Clyde thanking for the many years I have writ-ten news stories about the city. This brief expression of gratitude from a very busy man prompted me to send a note to

someone I noticed quietly serving. Grati-tude is contagious – it’s spread by mouth and hand to hand.

Each chapter in Randal Wright’s book encourages the reader to “realize, re-cord and remember life’s grand lessons”. Many people do this with a gratitude journal or other small notebook they car-ry with them. Some spend a few minutes at the end of the day to record those ob-servations and lessons.

“Journals are a way of counting our blessings and of leaving an inventory of these blessings for our posterity.” Spen-cer W. Kimball promised.

Many times I have wished my grand-mothers had written their experiences and thoughts for me to read and share with my children. These fastidious little housekeepers even threw away precious letters from other family members and family photos! I have their jewelry and dishes but I don’t have their memories.

I appreciated the encouragement to write my autobiography - a work in prog-ress, and keep a better journal, but what this book really gave me were some prac-tical tools and suggestions. The list of 600 memory cues, and three word-word summary suggestions are more helpful to someone like me than quotes I’ve man-aged to ignore for decades.

It’s not too late to start or start again. Your journal and your life story may not seem like a bouquet of roses but your memories and life lessons are priceless gifts to yourself and your family.

Make Every Day Meaningful by Ran-dal A. Wright is available from local publisher Cedar Fort at www.cedarfort.com or at their warehouse 2373 W 700 S, Springville. It is also sold at www.am-azon.com.

The old Nebo Stake Tabernacle.

D.U.P. StoriesBy Janeene Whitelock & Cynthia Peacock

Nebo Stake Tabernacle

The fi rst tabernacle was built in 1870 and was dedicated July 20, 1872 by Apostle Wilford Woodruff. It was

built at a cost of $27,447. After 32 years this tabernacle burned to the ground in 1904.

Construction for the new tabernacle started in June, 1906 and was completed in November 1907 at which time it was dedicated by President Joseph F. Smith. It was bult on the same site of the original tabernacle. The cost of Construction was $20,000. It was paid for and dedicated within a period of 18 months. This was considered a church record at the time.

The Tabernacle attracted people from Springville south, west to Goshen, and sometimes Eureka, Mammoth,

Knightsville, and Silver City.The building had a seating capacity for

over a thousand people. All the seats were fi lled at the dedication.

The building was used for over 60 years. Then the new Nebo Stake Center was built and for a time the future of the building was unknown. General Authorities of the church said it could not be sold to anyone who would use it for entertainment, such as skating, pool, or dancing. Nothing was done for more than a year, and vandals started breaking windows and breaking into the building.

Then, in about 1966 the Senior Citizens was organized in Payson, and a place was needed for their activities. Payson City obtained a long-term lease on the building and turned it over to Senior Citizens. The Tabernacel became the Senior Citizen Center. After the Senior Citizens quit using the building it was sold to Valley Bank in 1981. It was torn down and Central Bank was built on the property.

Cutting Hair and Growing the Community

By Kathy Anderson“I don’t like being told what to do, I

wanted my own rules and I wanted some-thing that I could call my own,” said Marci Aston, owner of Classic Beauty & Barber. These were the main reasons she started her small business beauty salon and barber shop. She started with getting only one haircut a week, and has grown over the past two years to include other stylists at the salon and plans to expand her business even more.

Marci graduated beauty school as the only student to receive two diplomas at the Aveda Institute of Provo. One was her cosmetology degree, and the other was a certifi ed diploma. She is currently the only student to date to receive this high honor and it shows with every cut or color she does. “I’m great at what I do and have the wall to prove it,” she said while pointing to her wall of certifi ca-tions and diplomas. Patrons stopping in gladly wait to sit in her chair. “I’ve tried a half dozen salons to get my hair cut just right, and Marci is the fi rst to cut it perfect. I couldn’t be happier,” said one of her recent customers.

Attracted by the small town charm, Marci chose Payson to set up her busi-ness, “I like the town of Payson and the people here. I love that anywhere I go, people know who I am.” Marci wanted to bring that charm into her business and create a space where her guests feel at home. She met one of her goals this Oc-tober to achieve that by installing a TV and cable so she and her guests could watch football, especially the Packers games.

She also wants other stylists to live the

dream she is; being their own boss, mak-ing their own hours and having a place to call their own. She met her newest stylist, Kelly Mitchell, at Payson Gold-en Onion Days Car Show where Marci was hosting a booth to promote Classic Beauty & Barber. Kelly loved that she could be in a salon where she would ac-tually have a space to call her own and she could personalize it.

Participating in community events is also an important part of owning a business in Payson for Marci. “Being involved in the community is the best advertising for my business. Plus you get to meet all the great people in town.”

Great things are happening in Santaquin City

By Benjamin Reeves, City Manager

I-15 & US-6 Main Street Improve-ments - Approvals have been obtained and funding allocated for the early spring construction of a new “free right” turning lane off the south bound Main Street exit which will allow traffi c to fl ow on to a new west bound lane on Main Street without stopping at the light. Also included in this projects is a “right only” turning lane that will allow traffi c to fl ow north on a newly constructed 500 East. All of this work will enhance our road connectivity while also supporting the future development of new Grocery Store.

Second Access to Summit Ridge -- The Santaquin City council has been working with UDOT, Utah County, Summit Creek Irrigation and many oth-ers on the planning and design of a sec-ondary access to Summit Ridge. While this project may still be a few years out, a secondary access will enhance Fire, EMS and Police response, enhance com-munity connectivity, provide additional natural gas for future development as well as provide infrastructure for a fu-ture business park along Main Street.

Curbside Recycling -- Santaquin City, in conjunction with Republic Services, is proud to offer Curbside Recycling.

Those who choose to not participate can opt-out from now until December 30th. New cans will be ordered and delivered at the beginning of the year and service will begin March 1st.

A Lasting TraditionBy Randi Kaufman

The Spanish Fork Salem Area Cham-ber of Commerce is gearing up for their annual Winter Lights Parade.

In its 18th year, the parade is seeing a record number of entries and spectators participating in the Black Friday event.

“It’s a great way to end a busy day of shopping.” says chamber Executive Di-rector Cary Hanks.

The parade was the brain child of Su-san Taylor of Susan’s Hair Design. In 1995, a year before the parade began, Taylor attend the Lights On event that Spanish Fork City held during the light-ing of Main Street.

“It wasn’t well attended, “says Taylor, “There would be the Utah Valley Chil-dren’s choir, their parents, and a few citizens. We needed something bigger to kick off the holiday season.”

As the Chamber’s President Elect the

following year, Susan made it a mission to fi nd this new tradition. She attended a conference in Price where she learned about their lights parade and the success it had and knew that she needed to bring that to Spanish Fork.

“I went to every organization I could think of and convinced them to build a fl oat. I think I even help build fi ve fl oats that year.” Taylor continued, “We made it a large event with a Breakfast with Santa and chili in the park.

Though the added activities are no longer part of the parade, the tradition continues on with the efforts of the Cary Hanks, the chamber board, volunteers, and Susan Taylor who is heading up this year’s committee.

If your business, organization, or fam-ily is interested in participating in this year’s parade you can visit the chamber website www.spanishforkchamber.com for details on how to submit an entry.

Cursive skeleton artworks by Miss Murdock’s third grade class at Art City.

Cursive writings create skeletonsBy Julia Murray

There is more than one way to get kids to work on their cursive writing skills. The third-grade at Art City Elementa-ry School, in Springville, had students write their names on white art paper, fold the paper in half then cut out their names. With scrap pieces of paper stu-

dents created a head, arms, and legs and their name acts as the body of a skeleton.

What a fun way to make cursive writ-ing enjoyable. Can you see their names. Look close and see if you can fi nd your name or someone you know.

Taste of the Islands in Springville Delectable DiningBy Amy Baird

Ohana Grill: Delicious food with a whole lot of love

You know that feeling when you take a bite of something and you feel right at home? You can just

tell that it was made with love. That is how I felt when I took a bite of garlic chicken at Ohana Grill. Masa is the rea-son you can taste the love in the food. Her customers are her family. Masa says, “I just love to cook and make everyone happy.”

Wayne and Masa Fonoimoana of Laie, Oahu started Ohana Grill a year and a half ago when they discovered that there was a need for a little Aloha in south Utah County. So they decided to fi x that and open their own restaurant. Since then they have been spreading the love and giving back. This Thanksgiving, they are hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for those in the community who are struggling fi -nancially.

Ohana Grill specializes in Hawai-ian plate lunch food. I ordered the gar-lic chicken, which is their most popular dish for a reason. It is delicious. You bite through the crisp, light crust and are hit with this slightly sweet, garlicky deli-ciousness. Let’s just say that this might need to be a weekly meal for me. It is downright addictive. I gave everyone a taste and the general consensus was that garlic chicken is the star of the menu.

Before I get too far, I probably should mention that the portions are enormous. I honestly think I could have fed my little family of four with that one meal. Each meal comes with a generous scoop of macaroni salad (creamy and delicious) and two huge scoops of white rice. We were pleasantly surprised at how quickly our food was ready. All food is made to order and comes out delicious and fresh. I don’t think that they own a hot plate.

My husband, Nick, ordered the garlic shrimp, another crowd pleaser. He got 6 rich, buttery, jumbo shrimp that were moist and perfectly cooked. My garlic chicken had a subtle garlic fl avor com-bined with sweet. The garlic shrimp, on the other hand, was the epitome of garlic nirvana.

Brent ordered the Kalbi Shortribs,

which were tender with a sweet, tangy sauce. Once again, the portions were generous and the pile of shortribs was massive. Christine ordered the Teriyaki chicken, another classic done right. The chicken was perfectly cooked and had just the right amount of sauce. It was so tender that it just melted in your mouth.

Casey went for the Meat Juhn, which is breaded beef strips served with a spe-cial sauce. The breading added a nice texture and fl avor, giving the dish a nice overall complexity. The special sauce was what stole the show, though. It had a soy sauce base and just the right amount of sweetness. Kristin ordered the Mahi, which was light and fl aky with a creamy sauce.

Did I mention the otai? Mmm. Imag-ine the sweetest, freshest mango you have ever tasted and then put that in a refreshing drink with little bits of mango and you will have an otai. They sell it by the glass or by the gallon.

Every Friday, they offer a Polynesian plate with Tongan, Samoan, and/or Ha-waiian food so you can try something a bit more traditional. The Polynesian plate comes with a free slice of cake (some-times guava cake). I am addicted to gua-va cake. Imagine the moistest sweet cake you could ever imagine, then cover that with a creamy, almost jello-like layer of guava goodness. Then you have the per-fection that is guava cake.

So basically, you need to try Ohana Grill. I know that you are probably like me and have driven by it multiple times, but haven’t taken the time to stop. I am telling you now, stop the car. Ohana Grill is a place worth stopping for and a place worth going back to over and over again. Start with the garlic chicken and then ex-plore from there.

Ohana Grill is located in Springville at 1445 Main Street next to Joe Bandidos. They are open Tuesday-Thursday 11-7, Friday 11-9, Saturday 9-5, and closed Sunday and Monday. Most of the seating is located outside, except for a couple ta-bles inside. You can call ahead for your order too.

Springville FFA reports on Snow College trip

By Caitlin DinkelOn Tuesday, October 7th, Springville

FFA members traveled down to Snow College to participate in their judging contest. Students competed in many var-ied contests ranging anywhere from Flo-riculture to Agronomy.

Brynn Dinkel, who is an 8th grader at Springville Junior High, attended the contest, and competed on the Veterinary Science team. “I really enjoyed giving shots to oranges,” each member of the Veterinary Science team had to draw a

West Nile vaccination out of a bottle, and properly administer it to an orange. “I also liked getting to know the other FFA members better, and learning about some of the opportunities that the orga-nization has to offer.”

Many of Springville FFA members placed in the top ten individually in their contests, and Leslie Lifferth took fi rst place in the Dairy Judging Contest. This trip was a great opportunity for members new and old to discover contests they have never participated in before, and to prepare for the State Judging Contest coming up this spring.

Have you heard about the Blue Door Society? Sounds Sketchy.

By Brady E. AmundsonIf you were to ask a Utah County res-

ident about the ‘must see’ attractions in Provo you’re more than likely to hear about the local improv club Comedy Sportz. Every weekend local improvisers dazzle audiences with an hour and a half of unscripted, unrehearsed and un-vulgar situational and gimmick-based comedy. “Honestly, one of the best dates for any age,” remarked Pleasant Grove resident Dustin Cook when asked about his ex-perience with the local club. “I’ve been dozens of times and have never been disappointed. My smile muscles always ache when the show is over.” Although improv is the main attraction, Comedy Sportz hosts a variety of different come-dic styles including, but not limited to: stand-up, Shakespeare and musical.

Our little ragtag group of Utah Coun-ty improvisers met at Comedy Sportz and with a combined desire to explore new avenues of laugh science we even-tually formed The Blue Door Society. Even though improv is the matchmak-er that brought everyone together, the Blue Door Society focuses on sketch

based comedy similar to NBC ‘s Sat-urday Night Live and BYU’s Studio C. Sketch based shows that are performed on a stage have been sparse because it takes so much more work than improv where one gets up on the stage and does everything on the fl y. There are many scripts that need to be written and quick-ly memorized, technical limitations that need to be worked around, but bringing a little laughter into people’s lives would be well worth it.

We’re still getting used to our sea-legs in the different realms of comedy so there’s been a lot of trial and error. The ultimate goal is to perform live, but we’re still working out some wrinkles. We want our audience to have a very to see a well-polished masterpiece to en-sure their experience is paramount. In the meantime we will be releasing some video content on social media to fi ll the canteen of our beautiful followers, fam-ily and friends. Be sure to ‘like’ us on Facebook to stay caught up with our upcoming events, cast bios, conspiracy theories, predictions for “most likely to become a cat lady” awards and much more!

5 Lessons on Gratitude from a Young Teacher

By Adhis BouchaMy 2-year-old daughter wakes up cry-

ing and wants to get in Mommy’s Bed. She reaches up her arms, and I lift her into bed. “Thank you, Mommy.”

She feels warm. I take her tempera-ture. “Thank you, Mommy.” I give her medicine. “Thank you, Mommy.”

• Her lips are cracked. I bring her wa-ter. • I apply balm on her lips.• Her tum-my hurts and her nose is congested. I rub essential oils onto her belly and chest. • I turn on a kids’ show. • I wipe her run-ny nose. •I place her in a warm bath, wrapped in towels, to cool her feverish body.

After every single act of service, she replies the same: “Thank you, Mommy.”

In one hour, my daughter gives more “thank yous” than I typically give in a week. I learn from her the lessons I am supposed to be teaching HER about grat-itude.

Lesson #1: People are inspired to help when we are kind.

Lesson #2: We might not be in the moment we want, but we can still be the person we want to be.

Lesson #3: Even in unfavorable cir-cumstances, we can express gratitude.

Lesson #4: When faced with challeng-es, give focus to the tender mercies.

Lesson #5: We’re never too old to learn, and we’re never too young to teach.

Thank you, sweetie.

Some Thoughts on GratitudeBy Becca Baggaley

In the dictionary the word gratitude is defi ned as a state of being – being grate-ful, thankful, or appreciative. I would argue that gratitude is an action word. Someone that is truly grateful for the blessings in their life has a desire to see others similarly blessed, and a desire to be a blessing in others’ lives. In my life I am blessed by wonderful parents, this blessing has given me a desire to be a good parent to my children.

I am blessed to have my needs met, and many of my wants - that blessing has helped me desire to see everyone simi-larly blessed, and look for ways to serve others. There are countless examples of this if you think about it. Looking with eyes to see those blessings in our lives can be a blessing in itself, helping us to develop an attitude of gratitude. During this season of Thanksgiving, I would in-vite you to look for the blessings in your life, big & small, and then with an atti-tude of gratitude pass it on!

Congratulations Kathy Anderson! Looking forward to more community events!

Local Cheddar is Payson’s Business of the Month

Local Cheddar celebrated business of the month of October in Payson with a cheesy party. They welcomed chamber members and local residents to celebrate the honor with a spread of cheese and crackers, cheesecake, cheese dip, and even a cake decorated as a big chunk of cheese with a frosting mouse.

Kathy Anderson, owner of Local Cheddar, focuses her business on pro-moting local businesses and events. “It’s important that we keep our money in the community. Each dollar that we spend at a local business instead of a big box store, over double will stay in our com-munity.”

Kathy spoke of her plans of the next year including Small Business Saturday Turkey Bowl, Redneck Games and Tail-gate Party, Chalk Art Festival and more. These local events are meant to bring the community out to see the great lo-cal businesses that we have right here in town. There is no better way to see the diverse businesses we have then to get them all together and host some fun fam-ily events for our town.

The fi rst big event coming up is on Small Business Saturday which is No-vember 29th. In 2010, American Express founded Small Business Saturday to help businesses with their most press-ing need — getting more customers. The day encourages people to shop at small businesses on the Saturday after Thanks-giving.

Local Cheddar has become an Amer-ican Express neighborhood champi-

on this year. They are hosting a turkey bowl where you can bowl with frozen turkeys down a custom made bowling lane featuring the sponsoring local small businesses. With the help and support of over 30 local businesses, Local Ched-dar has turned this into what will be a giant success for local business owners. Sponsoring businesses have been very generous too. There will be a strikers raffl e for those that get a strike while bowling with a frozen turkey. The local businesses have donated a lot of prizes for the event. Leslie’s Family Tree is do-nating gift cards, Gunnerson Dental is donating a prize basket full of goodies, Oil N Go is donating 2 free oil changes, Precision Vision is donating a free eye exam, Trapnell Orthodontics is donating a goodie basket full of swag worth over $150, Body and Soul Tattoo is donating 2 $25 gift cards, Casa Veija is donating multiple gift cards and many more.

Join Local Cheddar on Saturday, No-vember 29th from 10:00-2:00 in Payson at 875 East 100 North. There will be hot fresh scones from Family Tree, local business booths, prizes and, of course, bowling with a frozen turkey. The fi rst 100 bowlers will get a free goodie bag full of swag and local deals. Bowling will be $1 per turkey toss. Classic Beau-ty & Barber will have a limited number of free turkey tossing tickets available at her 2nd anniversary party on November 15th. Come on out for Small Business Saturday and join with us to support shopping local in our community.

Bill Summers credits Macey’s success to great employees

Bill Summers, Store Director, could survey the 65,000 square foot Spanish Fork Macey’s from his 2nd fl oor corner offi ce, but instead chooses to be among his customers and employees amidst the wide aisles and walking the sparkling clean fl oors. Bill is a people person.

“I just love working with people, whether it’s customers or employees,” says the 43 year veteran of the grocery business, 38 of which have been with Macey’s.

A lifelong resident of Provo and Orem, Bill graduated from Orem High and served an LDS mission to Austria. After attending BYU he started his gro-cery career at Happy Service Markets, followed by a stint as a produce manager for Safeways. His many years with Mac-ey’s have seen some important changes to the industry. “Electronics have made a huge difference. When I started we price marked everything.”

Summers has also seen a change in Macey’s ownership when in 1999 Asso-ciated Food Stores purchased the local grocery chain, resulting in an enlarged product line and improved price com-petitiveness. In 2002 the decision was made to move the Spanish Fork Mac-ey’s to its current location at 187 East 1000 North. Bill, twice a recipient of the Spanish Fork - Salem Area Chamber of Commerce’s Business Person of the Year Award, is sold on Spanish Fork.

“I love Spanish Fork. I’d be a spokes-man for Spanish Fork anytime. The city itself is great to deal with on a business level. The citizens of Spanish Fork are just wonderful people.” “The customers are my friends. It’s never drudgery to go in to work, it’s always fun to go in.”

The Spanish Fork Macey’s employs nearly 300 people, to whom Bill cred-its the store’s success. “I have a great staff. All of my department managers are probably the best in the business, every-where.” That would include his grocery manager, who was hired by Bill as a bag-

ger at age 16 and is still working with him 30 years later.

Customer service is a high priority for Bill and his Macey’s crew. “It started out when Macey’s owned the business. Their philosophy was everybody sells groceries, but it’s the people that make the difference. I really believe that’s the truth. You can buy groceries anywhere, and maybe sometimes cheaper than what we can do here, but I’ve got great depart-ment heads, great individuals that help us in the store here and I think it’s hard to beat that.”

Family is also important to Summers and he’s fortunate that his three daugh-ters, son, and their families, including 16 grandchildren, all live locally. “The whole tribe is there for Sunday dinner,” Bill says with a smile. While Macey’s is open 24 hours a day, the store is closed Sundays.

Feel good & walk out pamperedFor owner Tiffany Walton having

a salon of her own has been a lifelong dream. Tiffany named the salon Libelle, the German word for dragonfl y, and for two very important people in her life; her loving supportive late German Grand-mother “Grandma Eddie” and dear uncle who died too young of cancer. Tiffany recalls talking with her uncle before his death that whenever she saw a rainbow it would be him saying hello to her. She replied that any time he saw a dragonfl y in heaven it was her saying hello back and that she was thinking of him.

Libelle Salon is tucked away just off Main Street in quaint downtown Springville. Upon entering you feel the salons personal touch. I wanted the sa-lon to be comfortable where you feel welcome to come and relax in a home-away-from-home kinda feeling. I put up this beautiful yellow chandelier in my shop, which once belonged to my uncle, now serves as a reminder to me that he believed in me and is part of the shop.

I have such a passion for doing what I do, I love making everyone that walks in my doors feel beautiful/handsome. I want them to feel as if they can get away from the everyday stress, relax, laugh and just have some much needed pam-pering. I’m such a simple person and just want to make people feel good, to help them feel confi dent once they leave the shop. We need to build each other up,to be kind and to be loving. We all need a pick me up every now and then.

I have the most amazing girls (Emilee Giles & Nickole Orton) that work with me in the shop and they have the same passion as I do.

We offer a variety of services hair col-or and treatments (deep conditioning and the Brazilian Blow Out) Cuts, (women, men, children) pedicures, manicures and acrylic nails. We also sell Boutique items such as clothing, jewelry, and handbags.

Thank you, Love Libelle Salon. Come visit us at 269 E. 400 S. or call (801) 477-9440 to make an appointment.

Calvin Youd, Randy Brailsford, and Bryan Brailsford at The Car Guys in Spanish Fork.

Trust. Service. Cars.Trust. The Car Guys embody it. Ran-

dy Brailsford and Calvin Youd have been in the car business a long time and they’ve earned that trust from the cus-tomers who’ve come to their lot looking for a high-quality pre-owned car, truck, or SUV at fair price.

“I’ve sold four generations of fam-ilies” Randy states. “I just had a lady a while back, I sold her her fi rst car at 16, she brought her daughter in, we sold her one at 16.” “That’s what it’s about. Treating people right to come back.”

And their customers do come back, with 75% of the people who walk onto The Car Guys lot being former custom-ers. From St. George to Logan, and as far away as Kansas, satisfi ed car buyers fi nd their way back to 872 N. Main in Spanish Fork, to the unpretentious busi-ness situated between the Chevron sta-tion and UCCU.

Folks who can’t come in person to The Car Guys, and many of those who do, start their car search at TheCarGuy-sUT.net. “We’ve delivered cars in Flor-ida, Canada, Southern Cal, Northern Cal,” Brailsford said. Randy’s son Brian Brailsford is the Internet Manager and keeps the site updated with enough pic-tures and details to get a great look and feel for a vehicle in their inventory.

For those who don’t fi nd their dream car among the 40 or so vehicles they keep on their lot, The Car Guys car quickly check their extended inventory

of 250 vehicles courtesy of a partnership agreement they have with dealerships in Price and Moab. “If my customer needs it I can have it here in two hours” says Randy. Still can’t fi nd what you want? Calvin will go fi nd your high quality ve-hicle at a certifi ed auction. Randy adds, “85% of our vehicles have factory war-ranties still on them. We buy cars that are CarFax clean. We like sleeping at night.”

The Car Guys are invested in the local community. Calvin Youd for 27 years helped coach the Spanish Fork High School baseball team, retiring last spring. Both Calvin and Randy live in Salem, where Randy has served as may-or for the past 18 years, earning the 2005 Best of State Medal for Elected Offi cial. Yet for all their accolades and public recognition, Randy let’s a visitor know what matters most as he points to the photo collage of his grandchildren and says “My best award is right up here.”

What does Randy want potential cus-tomers to know about buying a vehicle from The Car Guys? “I want them to know it’s easy.” He continued, ”I want you to have a good experience. That car looks good when you pull out ‘cause you’re going to go show it off. I want your friends and neighbors and relations to [say] ‘Where’d you get that? The Car Guys? Oh, that’s nice. Is it new?’”

The Car Guys are open M-F 8:30 - 6:30, Sat. 8:30 - 5, later upon request, and can be reached at (801) 794-0077.

Economic Diversity in Spanish ForkAs Spanish Fork nears a milestone,

having a population of 40,000 people, the city continues to look to the future by investing in infrastructure to accom-modate employment growth in the com-munity. Spanish Fork is grateful that companies like Sapa, Klune Industries, Kapstone, Mountain Country Foods and Young Living all have operations that employ thousands of people in the city. While we are excited to see the residen-tial and retail growth that is occurring, we are also committed to support indus-

tries that truly bring new revenue and opportunities to the community.

Spanish Fork’s Mayor and City Coun-cil direct efforts to attract more jobs to the city by recruiting new companies and helping existing companies expand. We understand that economic develop-ment is a team effort and that it often can only occur as the city partners in various ways with private companies. We are ex-cited about the city’s current trajectory as we expect the future will bring more economic diversity and opportunity to

Beware the 7 Deadly Creatures

Networking Nights founder Laraine Chamberlain presented at the group on October 21st. Her focus was

on “Appreciation Marketing,” a business concept fi rst introduced in Appreciation Marketing, a book by Tommy Wyatt and Curtis Lewsey. Appreciation Marketing involves expressing genuine feelings of appreciation in order to improve relationships.

Laraine discussed the value of loyal customers and made a startling statement: “Not saying ‘thank you’ causes more damage than saying ‘thank you’ produces good.” We often fail to thank customers for being customers, employees for their hard work, vendors for valuable products or services, and co-workers for their support and friendship. When we remember to thank others, our relationships are strengthened and the probability of business success increases dramatically.

Quoting Tim Sanders, Yahoo’s Chief Solutions Offi cer, Laraine said, “Our nation is so focused on effi ciency and productivity we forget likeability is truly our life line.” Detracting from our likeability in the business world are “7 Deadly Creatures in Business.” We should avoid becoming one of these “creatures” at all costs. They are:

The Puker – someone who fails to think of others’ needs and talks incessantly of only their own products or services.

The Topper – the person who seems driven to “top” everyone else’s stories or ideas with their own “superior” ones.

The Whiner – the man or woman who is always a victim of something and won’t let you forget it.

The Sucker – that person who drains the energy out of the room with their

negativity. The Narcissist – the co-worker,

employee or boss who’s always putting himself above everyone else.

The Vulture – the culprit who lures you into a meeting under false pretenses in order to pounce on you with the “business opportunity of a lifetime.”

The Tinkerbell – a recent problem “creature,” this is the person who is glued to their smart phone, ignoring the live bodies in the room.

Having a genuine concern and respect for others is not only the basis for great personal relationships, it’s also great for business.

Networking Nights meetings are held the fi rst and third Tuesdays of each month at 6:30 PM at the Spanish Fork Macey’s grocery store meeting room (“Little Theater”). If you are interested in joining or simply attending a Networking Nights event just to see what all the fuss is about, contact Laraine Chamberlain at laraine@chamberlainleadership.com.

Networking Nights welcomes businesses of all kinds and it is free to join. Members are given multiple opportunities to present information about their businesses and may have the opportunity to be presenters or “highlighted businesses.”

Handmade Equals Made from the Heart

By Judith Everett“When Brenda Grimsley moved to

Utah from Louisiana, she brought with her a love of handiwork, a friendliness for people, and a gentle Southern accent. They all combine when she creates her stitched pillows and other gifts. “I love to fi nd just the right colors and buttons that people like,” she says.

As time goes on, it gets harder for Brenda to work with her hands. “But I can’t give up my crafts,” she says. “I just love my crafts!”

That’s what it boils down to for most crafters. They love what they do, and they love sharing it. The market for handmade items has drastically de-creased since Chinese imports and fac-tory-made items have become so cheap. Hand-crafters can’t be motivated by profi t, since it’s so hard to put a price on their skills.

“It’s nice to create gifts for people,” says Sharon Lape, who has crocheted for years. “People don’t make things by hand as much anymore, so it’s more spe-cial to get something handmade.”

Sharon and her friend Wanda Wil-helmsen crochet together. Though Wan-da started crocheting only three or four years ago, it gives her a deep sense of fulfi llment. “It is very satisfying to cre-ate something, to have something to show for your work.”

People don’t often realize just how much work goes into a handcrafted item. It can take hundreds of hours for Karl Hale to create one of his kinetic wood sculptures, but he just loves peoples’ re-actions to them. “I like to make people wonder how it was done,” he says. His kinetic wood sculptures, which are fi ne art marble runs, are designed to engage

both right and left-brained people, en-gineers and artists alike. But more than that, his work is cooperative. “My art isn’t complete until it has been interacted with,” he says.

There is so much more to a handmade item than meets the eye. The history, the hard work, the love behind something handmade makes it worth creating, and worth giving.

Brenda Grimsley, Sharon Lape, Wan-da Wilhelmsen, and Karl Hale, along with many other local crafters, will be displaying and selling their handmade items at the Mapleton Country Christ-mas Boutique, held Friday, December 5, 2-8 pm, and Saturday, December 6, 10 am-4 pm, at Mapleton Memorial Hall, 90 E Maple Street, Mapleton.”
