“IT’S NOT HOW MUCH WE GIVE BUT HOW MUCH

LOVE WE PUT INTO GIVING.”

― MOTHER TERESA

A New Temple for South Utah CountyBy John Parkinson

It was on January 25, 2010, when I answered my cell phone to hear a very excited voice exclaim: “Dad, have you heard the announcement? We are going to have a temple in Payson.” “Sure, Stacy,” I replied, “and it is going to be in that vacant lot right next to my house, isn’t it!” “I’m serious” she said, and so she was. However, I had to satisfy myself that my daughter, in her child-hood, had been paying attention to my lectures on always telling the truth. So, her skeptical father turned to his computer to verify her incredible claim. I googled “Payson Temple.” The fi rst thing that came up on my monitor was a photograph of a house trailer topped by a steeple and a gold angel. Ah, hah! She was pulling my leg. However, further research soon revealed that yes, indeed, she knew more than I did. How embarrassing it was that she was ahead of me on this one.

Having served as an ordinance worker in the Provo Temple for

more than ten years, my fi rst thought was a selfi sh one: “Hooray! Soon, I’ll no longer have to get up in the early morning darkness and drive on icy roads for 20 miles from Payson to Provo sur-rounded by all those 18 wheelers and other sleepy and obnoxious drivers.” Wow! What a tiny sacrifi ce for me when I think of my ancestors who needed several days to make the trip from Beaver, Parowan and Toquerville to attend the St. George Temple. Or, when I think of those Tongan, Maori and Samoan saints that I met in Laie in 1954 who saved out of their meager incomes for a lifetime just to make one trip across the Pacifi c to visit the Ha-waiian temple.

President Thomas S. Monson did in fact announce on this day plans for the construction of a new temple in Payson, Utah. Groundbreaking and site dedication would occur on October 8, 2011, under the direction of Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quo-rum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat-ter-day Saints.

Beginning in July of 2010 and for the next eighteen months,

“Hope For Tomorrow” Hope ChestsBy Rich Lewis

It must have been about 1977. I was pretty young and so the details of the events are somewhat fuzzy. It had been a tough year fi nancially for my family and the rigors of providing for a family of 7 kids had been a monumental task for Dad. We never went without. All of the necessities of life and living were taken care of for us and most important-ly there was love in our home. I treasure the memories and even though I was young, I remember the struggle, and in retrospect, I treasure the struggle as well.

The holiday season was upon us, and we all knew that times were lean. We knew that there would be a Christmas, but we also knew that it would be mea-ger at best. One night there came a knock at the door. No-one was there, but there

on our front porch were packages. There was something for each of us. It was sig-nifi cant. That Christmas I received my fi rst three piece suit. It was fancy and it was just my size. It wasn’t cheap and I was so proud to own it. Someone had been wise enough to know our circum-stance and willing enough to act. That event, along with other acts of service in my life changed me.

This year when my company was in-vited to participate in The “Hope For To-morrow” event I was excited. We were asked to build hope chests based upon the theme “Hope Reclaimed” I imme-diately started out with a few ideas and then little by little my crew became in-volved. Collaboratively we came up with designs; One inspired by my fi rst bicy-cle, another made completely from re-claimed barn wood. One was made from

Understanding LibertyBy Casey Beres

Modern Day American Slavery

The Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states: “[n]either slavery nor involuntary servitude,

except as a punishment for crime where-of the party shall have been duly convict-ed, shall exist within the United States.” This amendment, adopted in 1865, end-ed slavery, or involuntary servitude in America, the “land of the free” until 1913. In 1913, the Sixteenth Amendment was adopted and in effect nullifi ed the Thirteenth Amendment by allowing Con-gress to “have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived.” Involuntary servitude was once again brought back to America, and over time it was extended to more and more people as the tax was levied on more of the population’s income. No more could involuntary servitude only be enforced on someone as punishment for a crime one is duly convicted of. Now, Congress could force Americans to work involun-tarily for the United States for however long it wanted, simply by levying an in-come tax on them.

The reader might wonder how the in-come tax and slavery equate. Political philosopher Robert Nozick said it best: “[t]axation of earnings from labor is on a par with forced labor. Seizing the re-sults of someone’s labor is equivalent to seizing hours from him and directing him to carry on various activities.” All in America who pay an income tax are forced laborers, or slaves. This is because we cannot live in this world without an income. Working to earn an income to pay for our housing, food, clothing, and other necessities of life is not only a nat-ural right of ours as human beings, it’s also a necessity of life. We must, in order to live, work and earn an income, giv-ing our labor in exchange for monetary compensation. We are forced by our hu-manity and existence as human beings to labor and earn an income so that we may provide for ourselves. If we were denied the ability to earn an income, we would certainly die, or in the very least live a miserable existence living off of others. Luckily, we are not denied earning an in-come, although regulatory and licensure laws greatly hinder doing so. But, gov-ernment does take part of our income, and thus we are in essence being forced to work for that government. An income tax is equivalent to working a certain percentage of our time a year, virtually for free for the government. And this in-come tax is coerced upon us by the threat of fi nes and/or jail time-by the barrel of a gun. We are in bondage to our neighbors

who support the income tax and to the government. Yes, mild slave masters they may be, for they allow us to choose our tasks by letting us choose, for the most part, our type of employment and how much we wish to earn. But slave masters they still be, for they force us to labor for them, or for the nation, for a certain portion of the year. And the way our fed-eral revenue is spent, we are also forced to labor for other nations to whom our country is in debt. This is how we are enslaved in modern America, and have been since 1913.

The Sixteenth Amendment doesn’t specify a maximum rate of taxation Congress cannot go above. This makes this amendment quite terrifying, for the legal potential and framework for total enslavement is there and we are at the mercy of our masters in Congress on just how much of our income they will seize and force us to labor for the nation invol-untarily. It is a wonder this amendment passed at all!

What can be done? Federally, proba-bly not much, at least not any time soon. However, something could be done in Utah; we could lessen Utah citizens’ part-time enslavement to the state by abolishing Utah’s income tax. The Utah Constitution, in Article I, Section 7, says that “[n]o person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law.” Article I, Section 21 states that “[n]either slavery nor involuntary servi-tude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within this State.” If no court cases challenging the Utah income tax based upon these two provi-sions in the Utah Constitution exist, then a perhaps such a case could be brought before the state courts. But, if the Utah courts have already declared the state in-come tax “constitutional,” then we would need an amendment to the Utah Consti-tution outlawing forever the income tax, declaring it to be involuntary servitude. To do this, one would have to contact his/her representatives in the state legislature and encourage them to introduce such an amendment. Also, as per Article VI, Sec-tion 1, any Utah voter may initiate leg-islation in the legislature calling for the abolition of the income tax. Both the pro-posed legislation and amendment would require enough support from the people so that they could put pressure on their state legislators to propose and support legislation and an amendment outlawing the income tax in accordance with the Article 1, Section 21 anti-slavery clause.

Springville Mayor RecognitionBy Shannon Acor

Hard working, positive, compassion-ate and kind are all words that were used to describe three fantastic students at Tuesday’s Springville City Council Meeting. Nominations for the May-or’s Recognition Award are turned into Springville City throughout the month as citizens, teachers and neighbors spot great kids doing good things and working hard. This month’s awards were handed out by Councilman Craig Conover.

The fi rst award went to Springville High School Junior, Spencer Gwillliam. He was nominated “secretly” by fellow students as they were impressed with how kind and considerate he is. They wrote “he always opens the door for others and greets them by name with a smile as they arrive to class.” Spencer’s

proud parents are Jason and Samantha Gwilliam. Westside Elementary Stu-dents, Averi Smith and Peter Hill, were also recognized. Both are 6th graders and were nominated by their teacher Ginger Whitney. Mrs. Whitney shared, “Averi always has a smile on her face. She is an example to others. She pushes herself when learning diffi cult concepts and is not afraid to ask for help.” She de-scribes Peter as “a talented young man. He contributes greatly in the classroom. He has insightful comments. He is help-ful to others.” Averi’s parents are Todd and Amy Smith. Peter Hill is the son of Dan and Heather Hill.

Help us celebrate our youth! Call or email in your nomination today to the “Communities that Care” Coordinator at Springville City 801-491-7823 or [email protected].

Everyday Heroes Celebrated at Sierra Bonita with Senator Henderson

“Lightning speed, x-ray vision, and red capes are most commonly associated with the world of superheroes. Howev-er, students at Sierra Bonita elementary learned that heroes are more than humans with super powers. Heroes are ordinary people doing extraordinary things. On Friday, November 7, at a school-wide as-sembly, the student body was privileged to hear music, essays, and stories about everyday heroes from local heroes.

One of those local every day heroes and keynote speaker at the assembly, Senator Deidre Henderson, shared a sto-ry about her own hero. Alec, a neighbor of Senator Henderson’s was only eight years old when he had the courage to be-come friends with a girl whom everyone teased. Henderson explained that cour-age is being brave enough to do some-thing good even if you are scared to do it. She challenged students at Sierra Bo-

nita to “fi nd the courage to be heroes.”Sierra Bonita’s additional guest he-

roes included Gracie Crowther, Span-ish Fork Little Miss fi rst attendant, who introduced her hero, her sister Halee Crowther, Spanish Fork Junior Miss. The fi nal everyday hero and Sierra Boni-ta elementary school principal Mr. Mike Larsen shared “Heroes at Home.” Mr. Larsen told stories of his personal he-roes, his mother and father.

Also featured at the assembly were caricature portraits, drawn by Pleasant Grove student Jared Slye, of some of the schools everyday heroes Mr. Andy Wiley, Mrs. Dana Beckert, Miss Laurie Jones, Mrs. Jone Dixon, Mr. Myles Pe-terson, Mr. Shane Fawson, Mrs. Janna Slye, Mrs. Liz Worthen as well as Mr. Mike Larsen and Senator Deidre Hen-derson.”

Metates and Manos

For thousands of years grinding tools have been used in the Amer-ican Southwest and elsewhere in

the New World, to grind plant seeds to form meal, when mixed with water, can be made into cakes and breads. In the Southwest, grinding tools are referred to as metates and manos. From earliest times, these tools have been the tool of tribes which gained their main subsis-tence by collecting and gathering wild plant foods and items.

The metate and mano are essentially one tool made up of two parts. The low-er one is called the metate and it forms a base upon which the smaller part, the mano, is moved by hand back and forth to produce a pulverizing action. Together they form a hand powered machine for milling grain.

The large stationary member of the metate-mano grinding tool is made from a block of sandstone or porous lava rock. The rough texture of the stone provides a sandpaper effect when the mano is rubbed across the metate. The tools are made by fl aking with a sharp edged stone hammer.

Further modifi cations may consist of pecking and grinding to remove high spots and smooth the sharp edges. Vari-ous shapes of grinding stones have been popular from time to time. The mano tool

is shaped to match the style of the Metate on which it is to be used.

The combined metate-mano corn mill-ing tool is perhaps the most important household tool of the Native American Southwest. With its general use, coupled with the knowledge of wild seed plants, a large food yield was the basis of native population. The pioneers also used these tools. Come see them at the Payson D.U.P. Museum at the Payson City Building. Call 801-465-9858 to schedule your tour.(Some of the info is pulled from a pam-phlet on metates and manos by Frank W. Eddy.)

Serve Daily con� rms that the London Bridge is not falling down

Serve Daily confi rms that the Lon-don Bridge is not falling down. Von Isaman of Salem, Utah sights

the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. It is the relocated 1831 bridge that formerly spanned the River Thames in London, England until it was disman-tled in 1967. The Arizona bridge is a reinforced concrete structure clad in the original masonry of the 1830s bridge, which was bought by Robert P. McCull-och (chainsaw and oil fame) from the

City of London. McCulloch had exterior granite blocks from the original bridge numbered and transported to Arizona to construct the present bridge in Lake Ha-vasu City, a planned community he es-tablished in 1964 on the shore of Lake Havasu. The bridge was completed in 1971 (along with a canal), and links an island in the Colorado River with the main part of Lake Havasu City. (Text portions courtesy of Wikipedia)

“Unto Us a Child Is Born”By Dana F. Robinson

On Thursday December 11th and Fri-day December 12th the Palmyra Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints will present a spiritual Christmas gift for the citizens of South Utah Coun-ty, “Unto Us a Child Is Born”, a large Christmas Crèche exhibition which will feature nativity scenes and Christ cen-tered artwork.

The nativities and artwork are being donated by the members of the six wards that comprise the Palmyra Stake.

A nativity scene takes its inspiration from the accounts of the birth of Jesus in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Saint Francis of Assisi is credited with creating the fi rst nativity scene in 1223 (a “living” one) intending thereby to cul-tivate the worship of Christ, having been inspired by his recent visit to the Holy

Land where he had been shown Jesus’s traditional birthplace. The scene’s pop-ularity inspired communities throughout Catholic countries to stage similar pan-tomimes. By the end of the 19th century nativity scenes became popular beyond Catholic settings, and many versions of various sizes and in various materials such as terracotta, paper, wood, wax and ivory were marketed, often with a back-drop setting in the stable.

On exhibit will be nativity scenes from the very simple to the ornate from around the world. The scenes and art-work will occupy the entire LDS church building located at 353 East 400 North in Spanish Fork with a very large fl oor standing nativity scene in the cultural hall. The doors will open at 6 p.m. each night with the viewing hours concluding at 10 o’clock. All ages are welcome and light refreshments will be served. There is no charge to attend this event.

ALA Director Awarded Administrator of the Year

Kenna Vallejos of American Leader-ship Academy was named Administrator of the Year by the Utah Charter Network.

Paul Carpenter, principal of the ele-mentary school at ALA introduced her.

“Once we thought there might be a bomb at our school. She was a rock. She never panicked. She responded with pro-cedures that were seamless and fl awless. No matter what challenges come, how-ever diffi cult, she always looks at the positive, she rallies us and forges ahead. She believes in all areas of growth, of self-actualization, so we can rise and bless other people’s lives.”

When asked how she felt about re-ceiving the award Mrs. Vallejos respond-ed, “Receiving this award is an honor. It is empowering because it was awarded from colleagues, internally and exter-nally. This award is not my award. It is an award for all of ALA. Without the teachers and staff and the work they do

everyday I would not have received the award. I gift this award to all of the ALA community.”

Michael Hess from the board of trust-ees commented, “The most important aspect of Kenna’s leadership is that she cares 120% for the students.”

Mrs. Vallejos was asked if this award gave her more confi dence in trying new directions in education.

“No” she observed, “this award is an honor but the confi dence I have to try new things comes from knowing with-out action there is not progress. One of my favorite quotes comes from Mahat-ma Ghandi: ‘You may never know what results come of your actions, BUT if you do nothing, there will be no results.’”

Mrs Vallejos has been in education for over twenty years and has taught all grades from K-8. She holds a masters degree in educational leadership.

What is arts true purpose?The Center for Academic Study and

Naturalist Painting (CAS) has always had one goal in mind, to train realist art-ists who will ultimately create “art that serves the public, elevates society and reestablishes the standards of art as a visual language that can be understood and felt beyond any boundaries.” How is this possible or why is it necessary with today’s technology? What is the purpose of art in today’s society?

According to the CAS’ director, Ryan Brown, painting is more alive and rel-evant than it’s ever been. Brown is the founder, director, and head instructor at the CAS in Springville.

Brown, a Utah native, attended BYU after high school. He struggled to fi nd meaning out of the various movements and mediums he was exposed to through the university curriculum. Overviews of the liberal arts and jumbled theory were the core of the program, but skill based understanding seemed to be lacking.

“The teachers didn’t have the skills I was looking for,” Brown said. “They were the parrots of poorly comprehend-ed ideas. Although they had bought into a lie, I couldn’t do it. I never had what it took to believe in depth that wasn’t there.”

He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2002, but realized that the education he acquired in college was insuffi cient to support a career as an artist. Soon after this realization, Brown entered the Flor-ence Academy of Art, where he received his fi rst taste of Academic training. The organized, intense and concise train-ing of the Florence Academy provided Ryan with what he considers the begin-ning of his understanding of the craft of art. This training not only gave Brown a deep understanding and love of draw-ing, but also developed in him a strong self-discipline and work ethic, as well as an insatiable appetite for learning. He returned to Utah, excited to pass on the skills he had gained in Italy.

Brown opened an art academy in Utah County after graduation to teach the classical traditions of drawing and paint-ing to aspiring artists, but realized that he, too, needed more education. In 2007 he and his family once again moved to Italy so that he could fi nish his education at the Florence Academy of Art. Upon graduation two years later with a fuller understanding of skill-based art train-ing Ryan moved home once again and opened the doors to the CAS.

The CAS’ reputation and student base have grown steadily ever since. It is one of only 69 academies from around the world approved by the Art Renewal Cen-ter, an organization devoted to propagat-ing excellence in visual art. The CAS has also recently welcomed two new instruc-tors, Katie Liddiard and Brock Alius, ac-ademically trained artists themselves.

The students at the CAS receive daily critiques based on the foundational prin-ciples and skills of art passed down from generation to generation, thus continu-ing and progressing upon the lineage of knowledge.

According to Brown, when the Ab-

stract Expressionists turned their back on reality, they turned their back on human-ity. Those artists began creating work that was too empirical for the general public to understand, and the underlying purpose of art—communicating—began to erode.

Society became fanatical about the newest fads in art, but all were fl eeting fascinations as the next new thing hit the market.

“Modern art was never meant to last,” Brown said. “Most of it was merely an immature attempt to get noticed. As a result, most contemporary art is like a magazine—very forgettable. The one thing that will make painting obsolete is if we continue on the road that modern-ism set us on. Modernism shunned the public that art was originally meant for. Its whole purpose is to mock and shock the general public.”

Brown stands with a new movement of artists, renouncing “the idea that de-velopment in art requires destruction of boundaries and standards, pointless em-phasis on ‘newness,’ or pursuit of the bi-zarre and ugly.”

“Beauty, craft and discipline are constant ideals,” Brown said. “Knowl-edge-based and craft-based ideals will always have a positive use in society.”

“A real artist must have knowledge and skills to speak. Only by discipline can an artist use art for its true purpose—feeding the people.”

“Kate Triumph” by Shari Arnold Review

“Kate Triumph” would make a great Christmas gift – well, not for a guy of course. It’s new YA fi ction so the women and younger women on your Christmas list would enjoy this novel. They can sip hot cocoa by the fi re and enjoy the book you gave them this year.

The debut novel by former Utah res-ident Shari Arnold is also a good choice for book clubs if you need something fun and light to read. After more than 20 years of reading together, everyone in our book club knows the 7 habits we should have, the Secret to have a park-ing space magically open up, and we just need a break during the holidays.

Arnold said she spent 6 months writ-ing and 3 more months “tweaking” her fi rst publication. As an avid reader of YA literature, it was a great genre for her.

She shared a little bit about her writing journey and gave some advice to others who want to publish. Her writing class instructor gave her important feedback and the courage to keep writing.

“I’ve been telling stories and writing them down in notebooks since I was a child, but I didn’t discover my true love of writing until I took a creative writing class in college,” she said.

Arnold added, “I fi nd that reading is essential to being a writer. I love read-ing as much as I love writing. I fi nd that when I’m stuck and I can’t quite work out a scene if I take a break and read for a while the scene will work itself out”.

Describing the main character, coin-cidentally named Kate Triumph, Arnold reveals that there is another book in the series coming soon.

“Kate Triumph is the fi rst in a series,” Arnold said. “She has far more adven-tures looming than I could provide in

one book. As for a tantalizing clue - let’s just say that some of the characters you thought were ‘taken care of’ in the fi rst book, may pop up in books to come. Oh! And there will be more romance, of course.”

Without revealing too much about the story, it’s about a seventeen-year-old girl who can run freakishly fast and has the unusual ability to heal herself. Kate’s mother has protected her and kept her se-cret talents hidden as much as possible.

After her father comes back into her life, Kate tries to trust this stranger as she faces terrible danger and tries to fi nd the truth about her genetic anomalies. Ad-justing to a new high school on Mercer Island is easier with the help with a hand-some, popular neighbor but it’s his older brother Zack that makes her heart skip a beat.

I enjoyed reading “Kate Triumph”. Arnold has a gift for story-telling and the ability to keep her reader engaged in the lives of her characters. You may want to read it yourself and then give it as a gift. Just be careful not to spill any hot choco-late on the pages before you gift wrap it.

“Kate Triumph” by Shari Arnold is available on Amazon in paperback or Kindle editions.

Chad Lewis encourages students to “JUMP” over lifes obstacles and keep running

By Sabrina ReyesStudents, staff and press gathered in

the Merit Academy Space Center on No-vember 19th to welcome former BYU and NFL football player Chad Lewis, who had come to speak to the interna-tional students and members of the As-tro Knights, students who are currently working to create and operate the up-coming Space Center which will serve all of Utah County. Lewis was contacted through many emails by Jordan Li, an international student from Hong Kong, who is part of the Astro Knights. The As-tro Knights were assigned to contact col-leges, service organizations, and celeb-rities to receive funding for their Space Center. Jordan chose to contact Chad Lewis, a personal hero. Lewis praised this form of teaching students real life business skills, and thanked Jon Paxman for helping the students understand and utilize those skills.

Lewis spoke about his experience in football, using it as an analogy for life. One such example was during a game, he’d been trash talked by an opposing team member the entire game. Lewis

was called to make a route, and he says “It was the worst run I’d ever made. But I made it.” He caught the ball and won the game. “Don’t let the doubters get to you. You cannot let them drag you down.” He said.

Chad encouraged the students to ex-cel in life, and to “jump” over the trials and opposing teams, as he often did in his games. “I’d have to jump over these huge football guys. And it was hard. But whenever I did, the crowd would go wild!” He said. Lewis then explained that we may feel like we have huge tri-als that we have to get through. It may feel like no one is there, but the moment you clear the trail, you’ll get a standing ovation.

When Lewis was 19, he served a LDS mission to Taiwan, where he learned to speak Mandarin. After the conference was mostly disbanded, Lewis stayed back and talked to international students in their language.

The Astro Knights were inspired by Chad Lewis to continue to strive for ex-cellence in all they do. He encouraged their service to continue, their leadership to improve, and to enjoy their work.

Weird music at schoolMy concern is that my school plays

wierd music right before school and I think they are trying to brainwash us. I think they are trying to make us think ev-erything is all right and thats not going to prepare us for life. It’s extremely too pos-itive it does not seem right, some go like this I FEEL GOOD INSIDE when i do

whats right IM somebody special happy as can be others go like this, A FRIEND WILL NEVER HURT YOU or ask you to do something wrong. It just seems to weird, cheesy, and unrealistic.

Payson Temple Continued from page 1

numerous meetings were held with Payson city o� cials to resolve legal issues before construction could be approved. On August 6, 2010, the deed which con-veyed the site from the Denise Y. Dehart Revocable Trust to the Church was re-corded by Utah County. At long last, on January 4, 2012, the temple plans were � nally approved. What a delight it has been to sit on the back deck of my home just a few blocks away and watch this magni� cent edi-� ce rise from a beautiful site known as Payson’s South Meadows. � e temple site consists of 10.63 beautifully landscaped acres. It echoes wonderfully the theme of so many of our temples by the fact that can be seen from so far away. � e Payson temple is the � � eenth in Utah, the third in Utah County and number 152 for the Church in these latter days. It is also one of the larger ones, consisting of 96,630 square feet.On October 10, 2013, two years a� er the groundbreaking ceremony, hundreds of cameras were clicking away, sounding like crickets on a warm summer evening, as a golden replica of the Angel Moroni was hoisted more than 200 feet to the top of the temple. � ere, its stately presence welcomes visitors from all around the valley and beyond. 78,000 members of the Church in the Payson Temple Dis-trict will now have access to a new tem-ple closer to home.� e exterior of the temple was completed in September. Work continues on the in-

terior of the temple and on landscaping, fencing and other site work. � e pho-tograph you see here was made in late October, while the bright autumn maple leaves were still on the trees. � is beauti-fully photograph is available as a framed print from Deseret Book in Spanish Fork and from Seagull Book in Spanish Fork and in Springville.Now, Church members and visitors are anxiously awaiting the open house and dedication which are expected to occur sometime in the � rst half of 2015.

Sunday Concert SeriesBy Ginny Ackerson

Utah Valley Handbell Choir

The Utah Valley Handbell Choir is returning to the Springville Art Museum for what has become a

beloved annual Christmas event. Spon-sored by the Springville Arts Commis-sion, two concerts will be held on Sun-day, December 14. The fi rst concert is at 3:30 and the second concert is at 4:45 in the afternoon. The concerts are free to the public, but tickets are required. Tick-ets are available at the Springville Muse-um of Art during regular museum hours starting Saturday, November 29, 2014.

The Utah Valley Handbell Choir was formed in 1993. The choir consists of 56 bells, cast in bronze or aluminum, and each tuned to a single note. Choir mem-bers volunteer their time, and starting in September meet for two hours each week to prepare for the Christmas concert sea-son. One of the choir’s purposes is to educate audiences about handbells. The director, Karen Eskew-Wyllie, encourag-es questions and often includes audience participation in their concerts.

On January 18, 2015 in the Museum at 4:30 p.m. the Graduate Vocal Quar-tet, one of the premiere voice ensembles at the University of Utah, will perform. Founded in the fall of 2011, the ensemble is comprised of four Doctoral Graduate Students in Voice who are accompanied by an accomplished pianist. Their reper-

toire ranges from Opera to Musical The-ater, Classic Standards, and even Jazz.

Originally from Chicago, mezzo so-prano Gretchen Windt has performed throughout the country. She was an Ap-prentice Artist with Sarasota Opera, Utah Symphony & Opera, and the Sugar Creek Symphony and Song Festival in Illinois.

Tenor David Sauer has been heard in productions with Utah Opera, Utah Lyric Opera, Utah Festival Opera, The Salt Lake Symphony, U of U Lyric Op-era Ensemble, Ballet West and The Utah Chamber Orchestra. David was a Rocky Mountain Region fi nalist and Utah Dis-trict winner in the 2013-14 MET Audi-tions. He holds degrees from Manhattan School of Music and BYU.

Daniel Tuutau, Baritone, is originally from Los Angeles, California. He holds BA and MM degrees from the Universi-ty of California, Santa Barbara. He cur-rently studies at the University of Utah pursuing a Doctorate of Musical Arts in Vocal Performance.

Jed Moss, as a collaborative pianist, has performed with musicians from the nation’s top orchestras, including the Los Angeles and New York Philharmonics. From 1995-2009, Moss was the key-boardist and backup vocalist for the in-ternational touring group Air Supply.

Taylor Gordon leads UVU to win over Bristol university 109-74.

Taylor Gordon leads UVU to victory over Bristol, 109-74

By Lorie Garnett“The Utah Valley women’s basketball

team (1-1) defeated the Bristol Bears (2-1) Saturday in their second game of the season 109-74, the fourth highest scor-ing game in UVU history.

True freshman Taylor Gordon led the Wolverines with a career high 23 points. She was only outscored in the game by Bristol’s Monica Jackson with 25 points.

“It was a team effort and we had some players come off the bench and make some contributions that we needed them to make,” head coach Cathy Nixon said. “As a team we aren’t just looking at this game we are focused on the process and are looking ahead to our game on Mon-day night against Montana Tech.”

The Wolverines took an early 10-4 lead with a layup from Rhaiah Spoon-er-Knight, a three pointer from freshman Mariah Seals and a free throw from Sam Loggins with 16:38 left. The Wolverines continued to roll with the three pointers with freshman Taylor Gordon recording two and senior Megan Smith banking her fi rst career three by the half.

Karlee Norris contributed 14 points before the break shooting 6-7 from the

fi eld and adding two free throws. Spoon-er-Knight and Gordon (8-12 from the fi eld) each had twelve points at the half. Norris, Spooner-Knight and Gordon reg-istered 38 points of the 56-33 score at the half.

Spooner-Knight would go on to score two more points, contributing 14 points total to the fi nal score. Loggins also con-tributed 12 points.

The streak continued for Gordon, shooting 3-5 from the three point line, tearing down four rebounds, banking 5 assists and two steals. Gordon led the team in points, steals and assists.

Utah Valley shot 22-33, or 71 percent from the fi eld, and 4-6, or 66.7 percent from behind the three point line in the fi rst half. Overall the UVU fi eld goal per-centage was 61 percent, the fi fth highest in Utah Valley history.

The Wolverines made 32 free throws, the second highest in UVU history, and tied the school record for free throws attempted in a game with 45. The last record was set against Montana State in 2006.

Upcoming Utah Valley home games are on 12/6 Boise State 3 pm, 12/11 Air Force 7 pm, and 12/29 Nebraska-Omaha 3 pm at the UCCU Center.

Utah Valley Defeats South Dakota, 60-52, in season opener

By Jason EricksonMarcel Davis and Donte Williams

each scored a game-high 16 points to lead the Utah Valley University men’s basketball team to a season-opening 60-52 win over South Dakota at the UCCU Center on Nov. 14.

“I’m really happy with the win and am happy for our kids,” said Utah Val-ley head coach Dick Hunsaker. “It was a real gritty, grind out victory for us. It wasn’t pretty or fl awless but I thought we played with a lot of heart, tenacity and determination. We had a really nice crowd and atmosphere tonight. Our fans were with us and you could feel their emotion and our kids feel the emotion. It’s really developed into a really nice home court.”

Tied 16-16 with 7:47 to play in the fi rst half, Utah Valley went on a 13-3 run over the next fi ve minutes to help secure a 31-23 lead at the half.

South Dakota slowly chipped away at UVU’s lead in the second half to get within two points, 45-43, with 3:28 to play. Davis then made a driving layup

while being fouled and made the free throw to help spark a 9-2 run, giving UVU a 54-45 lead with under a minute to play.

Davis connected on 4-of-8 shots from the fi eld and hit 8-of-15 free throws to score his 16 points. He also pulled down seven rebounds, collected four steals and dished out three assists. Williams scored his 16 points on a 4-of-10 shooting from the fi eld and a 6-of-8 clip from the char-ity stripe.

Mitch Bruneel nearly had a dou-ble-double with 14 points and eight re-bounds. Brenden Evans was also in dou-ble-digits with 10 points.

“This was certainly an important game for our players mentally and emotional-ly,” Hunsaker said. “We worked hard for this win. These kids have given a very good effort in the things they do and how hard they have worked. We need to learn how to get smarter, more effeciant and more composed in areas, but this game was crucial for us as we face seven in a row on the road.”

Utah Valley will be back to the UCCU Center on December 13 against USU at 7:05 pm.

Youth Board Representatives which are selected by their principals.

Nebo Youth School Board Meets With Nebo School District Board of Education

By Lana HiskeyA 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 stu-dents questions concerning concerns and successes. 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 be-tween the schools in our Nebo School District that is growing about 650 stu-dents yearly with over 32,000 students this year.

Superintendent Rick Nielsen asked if the students would be welcome to the idea of meeting with the Superintendent every other month to discuss their con-cerns and successes. All the students said they would be willing to come to a col-laborative meeting on Wednesdays.

Gunnerson Dental Smile Makeover 2013 Thoughts of Jill Josephsen

“I was a fi nalist in last years smile makeover that Dr. Gunnerson did! I would love to share how truly bless-ed and grateful I am for the moment to moment difference this makes in my ev-eryday life! I walked into this so scared because I didn’t want anyone to be judg-mental of my teeth. I have always had a fear of the shots and everything that the dentist offi ce offered down to the smell.

I am now so proud and honored to say because of Dr. Gunnerson and his team I can walk in to get work done on my teeth and know I am being taken care of with love and respect by someone who cares

enough about me to listen and do any-thing to make everything comfortable for me. It has really given me the oppor-tunity to know and feel how amazing the difference one person can make. I wake up smiling I go to bed smiling because I feel so beautiful with my new teeth. I am so blessed to have Rhianna Miss-man who is the person who loved me enough to put me in as her hero. I would never experienced this without her and everyone who voted for me! There are not words to express my gratitude. The difference it has made in my life PRICE-LESS!”

Thoughts of Amy Fairbanks“I am the winner of the 2013 smile

makeover contest with Gunnerson Den-tal. There are not enough words for me to be to express how grateful I am for this wonderful, amazing gift I have been given. To be able to wake up every day and not be in pain to not have to worry about what is going to happen with my mouth, or how long I have before I lose my teeth, and how I will ever be able to afford all the work I need to be done. Be-fore I would always hide my teeth when I talked and I hated having my picture

taken because I never knew how to smile without showing my teeth.

It is the best feeling ever to be able to talk and smile confi dently now. This experience has changed my life forev-er, and I am forever grateful to all these wonderful people for what they have giv-en me. Thank you to Dr Gunnerson and all of his amazing team. Thank you to Dr Egbert at Summit Oral, to Revolution dental prosthetics, and to 56 West salon. Thank you so much, you are all very wonderful people.”

materials taken out of a discard pile of materials from a mill and one was made from materials from a recent remodel.As each chest was transformed from something discarded into something complete and beautiful, our enthusiasm and excitement for the project was built too. In the process of serving a worthy cause we were notably changed. I look forward with anticipation to the date of the concert and hope that with the sup-port of the community that we live in it will be a success this year and will grow each year so that we can help more and more people.

� e creative juices are already � owing for next year’s event. I can’t wait to see what we come up with in the future. Small acts of kindness change both the giver and the recipient. I invite and challenge each reader to be changed. Give generously, receive graciously and be changed.

PTSA and Special Ed students celebrate Halloween with a fun E-time party

PTSA at Diamond ForkBy Breanna Harding

This year at Diamond Fork Junior High, PTA president Dawn Graham started a service and leadership club. This takes place during the students free period twice a month. The PTSA club is for all students who want to join. PTSA stands for Parent Teacher Student Asso-ciation.

At the fi rst club meeting the students elected a presidency for the fi rst semes-ter of school. Taylen Moss was elected president, Breanna Harding vice presi-dent, and Hallie Stephenson as secretary. As one of our fi rst activities we made

fall treat bags for the Food and Care Co-alition. We had a guest speaker Wendy Osborne come and talk to us about our local Tabitha’s Way and how she started it. We also did a coat and blanket drive at our school for Tabitha’s Way. Our most recent activity has been hosting a Halloween party for the special educa-tion students in our school. We played games, got to know the students better, and strengthened our friendship.

In PTSA students learn how to impact people around them as well as in their local communities. PTSA is all about serving others and making a difference.

Gratitude and Confi denceBy Lyle Hadlock

I’ve been fortunate enough to instigate a program that now involves around 100 people. The single strand that I am, has now become a strong cord with many strands, comprised of all the people who have a desire to give back to humanity with the gifts that they’ve been blessed with.

I have learned fi rst hand, the power of following through with a desire and stay-ing with it, until it’s accomplished. I’m speaking as if the “Hope For Tomorrow” concert has already taken place.

The secret for the success of this event is relationships. There were many times I wanted to give up on the concert and hope chest building. I had all the perfect excuses to give up. However, I confi ded in enough people about what I wanted to do, so it would make it hard to back out this time as they all encouraged me and asked for periodical updates on the event.

I thank Chris Baird, who kept encour-aging and inspiring me in discouraging moments. Brent Crane, for seeing the vision and dream I had and coming on

board whole heartedly. For all my musi-cian friends who believed in me enough to share their God given talents. To Rich Lewis, a master Builder, who was one of the fi rst on board in creating “Build For Hope” and “Hope For Tomorrow”. For Camille Brimhall, who has deep insight and has so unselfi shly given of her time and talents for this event.

Thank you Susan Julianna, Rebekah, Paige, David and Sam for all the time you’ve given to sing with your Heavenly voices. And Art Young, who is brilliant and amazing in taking on a musical proj-ect and molding it into something words have a hard time describing. Too many people to name, but just know I love and appreciate you.

Hey readers of Serve Daily, as you have followed these articles for the past three months, now come and see where they all lead to on Dec 6th at 7 P.M. in the NuSkin Innovations building in Pro-vo. Ticket sales and proceeds from the auctioning of the Hope Chests will ben-efi t the Provo Food and Care Coalition. Tickets are only $10 each. You can pur-chase them on line at www.foodandcare.org. Hope to see you there.

Ginny’s Genealogical GemsBy Ginny Ackerson

DNA as a tool for ResearchThere is a growing interest in DNA as

a tool for genealogical research. Under-standing your genes may help you fur-ther your family history and open several areas of investigation.

DNA research is based on the fact that every human being is born with 46 chromosomes. Gender is determined by chromosomes consisting of an X from the mother and either an X or Y from the father. If a child has an X from the father, she is female and if they receive a Y the child is male.

Information in the Y chromosome (Ycs) passes mostly unchanged from father to son for generations. Analy-sis of this genetic information in living people can help you determine whether you share a common paternal ancestor with another living person. Based on the number of genetic markers shared with another person, you can estimate how many generations in the past your com-mon paternal ancestor lived. Ycs testing can help in verifying a common pater-nal ancestor, or learn about the origin of a particular surname. While only males carry the Ycs, a woman can have a male relative tested on her behalf to obtain this information.

In addition, each human being carries a genetic molecule in their cells called

the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). This genetic component is found in the mi-tochondria, and is inherited exclusively along the mother’s side. Both males and females carry mtDNA, but only women pass their mtDNA to their children. MtD-NA is helpful in verifying the existence of a common maternal ancestor or to study the ancient origins of our maternal line.

A third option is autosomal DNA which is shuffl ed at each generation and only half of it is passed to our offspring. It does not follow a direct path of inher-itance as does the Ycs and mtDNA de-scribed above. However, current testing provides a survey of one million or more sites on a person’s nuclear genome. This information is helpful in identifying re-cent cousins within the last fi ve genera-tions, or the ethnic origins of your family tree. Companies like 23andMe, Family Tree DNA, and Ancestry all offer auto-somal testing for genealogical purposes. Each company offering these tests has tutorials on their website to help with the interpretation of your results. Though these DNA tests do not provide you with a defi nitive pedigree, they do give specif-ic direction to your research and contact information for living relatives.

Latinos In Action Provide Service to the Community By Maria Lara LIA Historian

The Latinos In Action (LIA) students of Landmark High School in Spanish Fork are at it, once again! On the 6th of October the LIA students started a fundraiser called “Be My Boo?” To earn money so that they could make blankets for the homeless members of our com-munity.

The fundraiser consisted of selling cookies, cupcakes and caramel apples, which were being sold during lunch ev-ery day at LHS. Every student with in

the LIA group was scheduled to sale, and help raise money for the project. Stu-dents would come and buy an item for someone special or even themselves, and on Friday of every week, LIA delivered the goodies during the student’s advisory class.

Our goal was $150, and we reached it! We raised $168.50, but we couldn’t have done it without the help of our Land-mark High School staff and students. A very special thank you to Sue Ann Hard-ing who made the cupcakes, Mark Van-Voorhis, to the parents who donated the apples, and to the students of LHS who helped out by buying the goodies to give to their friends.

Landmark HS Honors Veterans and Retires Flag

By Jacob Jones Dragon Times Reporter

In an effort to enhance the Veterans Day experience, and honor all Veterans, and those that work at Landmark High School, the students and administration held their annual fl ag retirement ceremo-ny, to retire the fl ag that has fl own over Landmark High School, for the past year.

But what day do you retire a fl ag? At Landmark they decided that it would be appropriate to retire the fl ag on Veterans Day. But why do you need to retire a fl ag? The fl ag at Landmark fl ies in the wind every day for the whole year from Veterans Day to Veterans Day and after all of the storms that it takes place in and all the wind it goes threw it is only right to retire it after its service. So we retire

it in a respectful way and raise a new one to take its place for one year and then it to will be retired in a respectful way.

The retirement ceremony was per-formed by Scott Carson, Mark Van-Voorhis, Howard Bonzo, Todd Killian, Roy Devenish and Paul Dopp. The fl ag was lowered by Mr. Howard Bonzo re-tired by each of the veterans that were honored by Landmark High School. The fl ag was retired in the appropriate manner in that it was burned by fi re. The ashes of every fl ag that has fl own over Landmark High School has been placed in a special urn for keeping in honor of the school, and those who have served their country. After the old fl ag was burned, a new fl ag was raised by Mr. Howard Bonzo. Land-mark High is proud to honor those vet-erans who served their country and who are teaching at Landmark High.

Delectable DiningBy Amy Baird

A little taste of home at Brumby’s in Santaquin

From the spurs and chaps on the walls to the antler chandelier, the moment you walk into Brumby’s

you know that you are in a Western es-tablishment. When we sat down, I heard a Johnny Cash song come on while I looked around at the pictures from local rodeos and horse round ups. I fell in love with the country feel of the restaurant. I honestly didn’t want to leave after my meal was over. Brumby’s captures the feel of Santaquin. It has character. It has a soul. And I love it.

We started our meal with one of my favorite foods of the night, colossal yard bird wings. Wow. I don’t know how they get wings so meaty and juicy while mak-ing the outside so light and crispy. The showstopper is the root beer bbq wings. Yes, I did say rootbeer bbq. Mmmm. Just the right blend of sweet and spice and moderately addictive. The yard bird wings also come in teriyaki (quite delec-table) and hot (I wasn’t brave enough to try it but my father-in-law Bob started sweating). And the yard bird wings came with ranch (creamy and smooth) and blue cheese (I normally don’t like it but it was the perfect compliment to the wings). My mother-in-law Marcia remarked, “Noth-ing is better than listening Willy Nelson while eating root beer wings.”

Now for the main dishes. Nick ordered the BBQ Pulled Pork, which came with fries (more about those in a moment) and coleslaw. The pork was tender with a tangy BBQ sauce. The fries. Sometimes you get stuck with some cafeteria style undercooked mushy fries. These had just the right amount of crispness while still having that soft warm interior goodness.

Bob got the scorpion quesadilla, which would win best in show for presenta-tion. A tortilla fi lled with gooey melted cheese, sweet peppers, onions, tomatoes, and juicy steak. The creamy ranch dip-ping sauce was a perfect compliment to

the fl avors. Marcia got the Rueben sand-wich, which came on marbled rye with pastrami, swiss cheese, and some pretty dang delicious sauerkraut. My mouth is watering just writing about it.

John got the daily special, the Santa Fe Burger which came with red peppers, grilled onions, cheese, and a pretty deli-cious sauce. Debbie ordered the French Dip sandwich. I am a huge French Dip fan. This one left nothing to be desired. The roast beef was delicious and just the right thickness (not so thin that you feel like you are eating lunch meat and not too think where it is just overwhelming). The au jus was divine. Overall, it was a pretty delicious combination with those oh-so-delicious fries.

Now for the star of the night. Chicken Fried Chicken. Not chicken fried steak. Chicken Fried Chicken. Mmmmm. It is a chicken breast with a light, crispy crust served with a generous helping of creamy red mashed potatoes with skins and these carrots that are just tender and buttery. This is my comfort food. If I want home cooking and to get that warm, fuzzy good food feeling, I am going to order the chicken fried chicken. It is like getting a hug from your grandma while eating fried chicken. So if you are look-ing at the menu trying to choose between all your options, just go for the chicken fried chicken, your stomach will thank you.

I really enjoyed my evening at Brumby’s. The people are friendly and genuine, the atmosphere is country and welcoming, and the food was delicious. So get in the car and drive down to Santaquin for some down home coun-try cooking. You won’t want to leave. I didn’t. Brumby’s is located at 340 E Main Street in Santaquin. Phone: (801) 754-5941 . Hours: Tues-Thur: 11 am - 9 pm, Fri-Sat: 11 am - 10 pm.

You won’t believe the sauce on these Root Beer BBQ Wings.

Thoughts on ZionBy Jesse Fisher

Building Zion Communities

The same spirit of Zion, of cooper-ation and mutual benefi t, shown in how the Saints established Salt

Lake City in 1847, and in their efforts to “gather the poor to Zion”, was then expressed in how the waves of immigrat-ing Saints founded the Mormon commu-nities along the Rocky Mountains.

In his book “Great Basin Kingdom”, Leonard J. Arrington reported the pro-cess the Mormon colonists would follow to establish their various settlements. That process looks more like ancient Is-rael under God’s direction than modern Americans directed by the profi t motive.

First, a location for a settlement was dedicated by prayer when the settlers arrived. Then they all worked together to build a fort or stockade. Each day or-ganized groups would venture forth and cooperatively build the town’s infrastruc-ture - lay out roads and land parcels, build fences, dams, and dig irrigation canals. Then the 1-acre lots in town and the larg-er parcels on the outskirts of town were distributed in two random drawings. The rule that no family was allowed to draw more than once for either set of parcels prevented inequality in land holdings. In fact, parcels that weren’t distributed were reserved for late-coming colonists to the community. And in some communities holders of 25 acre lots allowed their par-cels to be reduced so that newcomers could have land to farm as well.

Hundreds of communities from Can-ada to Mexico were established in this manner without a single developer or building contractor profi ting from get-ting there fi rst as customary in the United States then and now.

They were building real live Zion communities. There were “no poor among them” because every family re-ceived suffi cient land to support them-selves. The cooperative manner in which they worked and lived under Priesthood direction could properly be described as “living in righteousness”. Their ac-tions indicated their motives were for the benefi t of all, not self-aggrandizement through individual profi t -- this qualifi ed them as “pure in heart”.

Certainly, the Saints weren’t perfect at being Zion-like. There are accounts of a few newcomers to these fl edgling Zion communities being stonewalled by ear-ly arrivers. These newcomers, who were promised an inheritance in Zion, had to appeal to the local bishop or sometimes to the prophet to get the old-timers to re-linquish their control of lands they had been given.

If these imperfect Saints could build Zion communities, couldn’t groups of Zion-minded people do the same today? “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

Chairbound Sportsman hunt via modifi ed 4-wheelers at 4-Mile Club south of Nephi.

Group Pheasant Hunt at 4-Mile Club

Kenneth VaughnScott Bateman and three of his hunt-

ing friends set up a group pheasant hunt at 4-Mile Hunting Club in south Nephi for Chairbound Sportsman. This farm, south of Nephi, is one of the largest farms raising thousands of pheasants a year and supplier to the Utah DWR. It also features great terrain for pheasant and chucker hunting.

We had fi ve shooters, four in wheel-chairs and one wounded warrior. Two other Chairbound men attended to wit-ness the dogs in action and the hunt-ing. The owner, Earl Sutherland and his family were excellent hosts and made the entire hunting experience great for our guys. Scott and his hunting buddies modifi ed four 4-wheelers with seats up front and the paraplegic hunters were lifted up and strapped in. This gave good visibility for them and a volunteer ran the 4-wheelers, stopped as dogs went on point. Then 4 dogs and volunteer han-

dlers searched for pheasants. The dogs did a great job locating pheasants and seemed to have as much fun as the hunt-ers. A total of 26 pheasants were put in the fi elds, whereas, the group shot about 12 of them. The group stretched out in a line on the large fi eld chosen and moved forward slowly. Dogs went on point and pheasants were fl ying and shotguns a blazing, including one hunter who used a 410 pistol called “The Judge”. This gave the hunter quicker reaction time and bet-ter accuracy.

The group hunted the morning and then had a very nice lunch provided by Scott and Kristi Bateman. After lunch the group headed out again for an after-noon hunt. All of the hunters were able to take home pheasant meat as well.

A big thanks goes to Scott and Kristi Bateman and all of the other volunteers, Dennis Bensen, Allen Houte, Brian Lee including those provided by the club. It was a unanimous consensus that we should do this again in the near future.

David Moore giving Santa his wish list.

Santa Visits His Namesake... Santaquin City

By Santaquin ChamberSanta Claus stopped by Santaquin El-

ementary to visit with some of the stars of his nice list and to enjoy some donuts, hot chocolate and apple cider. Santa loves to get a chance to visit with kids all over the world in the weeks before Christmas, but he said Santaquin is al-ways one of his favorite stops.

“I do love that delicious apple cider from the Red Barn,” Santa commented.

After promising she’d been good and a confi rming nod from Mom, Audrey Forman thought carefully before telling Santa what she wanted for Christmas.

David Moore made the most of his time on Santa’s lap. “I’d like a RC car, x-box, remote control airplane, an iTunes card and a HUGE Lego set.”

The only thing better than sitting on Santa’s lap for David was a chance to chat with Miss Santaquin, Corinne Fac-er, who was on hand to hand out candy canes to the kids.

Nick Miller, Santaquin Chamber Pres-ident, and other Santaquin City employ-ees were on hand to serve hot chocolate along with the Red Barn’s famous apple cider and fresh made donuts.

It was a fun evening and a great way to get the Christmas season started.

Paul Cardall and fi nalists from last year’s Music Heals Contest.

Paul Cardall To Perform At Second Annual Music Heals Concert and Composition Contest

By Lorene MooreHaving experienced the healing power

of music in his own life, award-winning composer and heart transplant recipient Paul Cardall is sharing his talents with our community and passing that power on to the next generation of composers through the Music Heals High School Piano Compostion Contest.

High School Students throughout Nebo School District are eligible to participate in the contest by writing an original piece that depicts how they feel about music or how music has empow-ered them in their lives. Go to musi-chealsconcert.org and select the Contest tab to get the rules, requirements and en-try forms.

Last year’s fi nalists won a cash prize,

With Paul joining us again and a whole new group of fi nalists performing, the Music Heals Concert will be a won-derful evening of powerful music and amazing talent.


Bank of American Fork

Project Teddy Bear helps children in abusive and not so good situations fi nd comfort.

Help Utah children by donating stuffed animals

The little boy was so traumatized by neglect and abuse that he spoke to his therapist from inside a cardboard box for two years. Inside, he clung to his trusted teddy bear—the only one he felt comfortable with enough to have inside with him. This child—and thousands of others like him—has benefi ted from your donations to Bank of American Fork’s Project Teddy Bear. Each hol-iday season, we collect new and clean, gently used stuffed animals to give to children at family support centers across Utah. Many of the children are victims of abuse, neglect, poverty or addiction. Some have been taken from their homes into state custody during the night; oth-

ers have been moved from one foster home to another; yet others have expe-rienced the violent loss of a loved one.

When these children, and perhaps all children, can hug and hold their own ted-dy bear, it brings comfort and a feeling of safety.

You can help. Project Teddy Bear is an opportunity for you to join with the communities in Davis, Salt Lake and Utah counties, and donate teddy bears and other stuffed animals. Starting this month, all Bank of American Fork branches will be accepting donations of new or clean and gently used stuffed an-imals through December 16.

Goodbye Fat Forever!By Theresa Olesen

We see people everyday struggling with health issues and obesity. I want to share an experience that demonstrates how I feel whenever I see people who may have “tried everything” and lost hope. I want to share because, for over thirty fi ve years, I was that person who felt hopeless; the person who had tried everything. But not anymore. I found hope, then success.

Across from me, at the next table, in a local restaurant I saw a woman who looked to be in her thirties, eating din-ner with her children. I had watched the woman walk in, using a cane to steady herself as she walked on legs swollen at the ankles to nearly the size of her large thighs. She looked like she was in so much pain, and my heart ached. As the food for her young family arrived, I noticed she had ordered a salad. The children had ordered common items for children of their ages, but her salad- her “healthy choice” from the menu- caught my eye and I nearly cried.

As I said, I had suffered for over thir-ty-fi ve years as a person trying very hard to get out of a morbidly obese body. For-tunately for me I did not have the health issues this lady appeared to have; in fact my doctor once commented that I was the healthiest fat person he knew. But

although my health was good, as I aged I saw my blood pressure rise slightly, and with a family history of diabetes I was VERY concerned. Nonetheless, no matter what I tried, I couldn’t lose the weight. Family members commented that while they understood the reason behind their own obesity and ill-health, they were mystifi ed at why I was so over-weight when I ate so healthy. I too, was mystifi ed, discouraged, and frustrated. I spent many nights crying on my pillow.

Then, my daughter asked me to try this program. I was reluctant to try because nothing else had worked, even though I had given other programs 100% effort. There were many other reasons for my reluctance, but because I saw it was im-portant to her, I promised that I would do it for one month. That was in January of 2013. I have lost and kept off 85 lbs. on a program that actually resulted in success with my 100% effort.

Because I had fi nally found a success-ful program, I wanted to shout-out from the mountain tops about my incredible elation. I wanted to share that success with others, so I decided to become a health coach (a free service) for the program. To that lady in the restaurant, and to every person who silently cries at night with frustration or loss of hope, I want to share my story so you know, THERE IS HOPE!

Local Business turns “90”!In February of 1924, Legrand Smith

left the family farm in Draper and opened a Ford Dealership on Main Street in Spanish Fork. Little did he know that 90 years later his dealership would be thriving as Utah’s oldest Ford Dealership. Legrand’s son-in-law, Glenn Bowen, purchased the dealership after his return from World War II. He became the second generation owner of Smith Auto Company until his daughter, Glenda Lyman, stepped in and purchased the Dealership. Glenda remembers when she was a young girl putting stamps on envelopes and doing many different tasks to help out her father. She fell in love with the car business and after graduating from BYU she stepped in and took over for her father who became ill. She is the third generation family to take the helm and work hard to make it the successful dealership it is today. “I’m sure Dad and Grandpa rolled over in their graves when I signed for the loan,” Glenda said. Her father and grandfather had paid for additions and building improvements with cash, never taking out a loan.

Smith Auto Company offers the fi nest in Ford cars, trucks and SUV’s and has a 26 bay service department where there’s plenty of space to get people

in and out. The company also has a state-of-the-art parts department providing the service their customers expect.

Glenda’s focus is still the friendly customer service and good value that keeps the dealership running and the special attention given to each customer will continue into the future. Kevin Lyman, Glenda’s son, is working as the fourth generation in the business. Kevin is the General Manager of the dealership and shares his Mother’s desire to take care of their friends and neighbors. Smith Auto Company leaves their sales staff a lot of freedom to get a deal done. They want to be the place where people come to be treated fairly, in a low-pressure environment.

As Utah County grows, Glenda and Kevin hope to see Smith Auto Company continue expanding to offer even better service and products. Smith Auto Company would like to THANK the community for helping them accomplish their 90 year journey and wish you all the best of the holiday season! Their business refl ects their motto:

“Satisfy your customers and they will become customers for life.”

Scott Muhlestein, Store Director at the Smith’s Food and Drug in Payson.

Setting the right priorites at Smith’s Food & Drug

The name badge reads “Scott Muh-lestein Store Director,” but who is this smiling fellow running the show at Smith’s Food and Drug Payson?

Hometown guy. Grew up in Payson. Football, basketball, and track at Payson High. LDS mission to Charlotte, North Carolina. Married, three girls and a boy, ages from 22 to 14. Cancer survivor. Started with Smith’s as a junior in high school. Worked his way up from the ground fl oor, literally. Used to get up at 4 a.m. to clean the fl oors in the store be-fore school. He’s now been with Smith’s 29 years and admits “the most fun is working with the people.”

There’s a good chance you’ve been in the Payson Smith’s Food and Drug. If not, you’ve probably been in one of Smith’s’ 130+ stores that dot the inter-mountain west and southwest regions. Smith’s is a low price leader that prides itself on great customer service. And truly, that customer service doesn’t get much better than at the Payson store, as they rank in the top 2% system wide, per customer surveys.

Muhlestein explains how he has been able to encourage his team to provide such a high level of customer service. “Set your priorities and what you want and coach them along to follow.” Quar-terly reports provide data that help target which department the store will work on, all based on what the customer wants. “Right now our focused department is our Bakery department. We want to work on Friendly and Fresh,” Scott said.

Muhlestein is most proud of his em-ployees. “There are 14,000 customers who come through a week and there is no way I can take care of all of them myself.” ”Every one of our employees is empowered to ‘make it right’ with the customer.”

“Making it right” extends beyond the confi nes of the store as Smith’s Payson is very active in community events. The store has a Cultural Council comprised of store associates who make decisions on which events to support. During the past few months one of the activities that Smith’s has joined with the local community in supporting is Tuff For Tiff (facebook.com/tufffortiff). Tiffi ney Dickerson of Payson, and daughter of one of Scott’s team members, is battling cancer and many in the local community have chipped in to help with her medical expenses. Contributions to Tuff For Tiff can be made at Mountain America Credit Union in Payson.

When asked what he’d like Serve Daily readers to know about his team, Scott replied: “We’re here to take care of their needs and we want to provide them a shopping experience that makes them want to return. We want to make sure we have the products they want when they come in our store. We want to make sure they know our people are great and that they can leave with a smile.”

The Smith’s Food and Drug in Payson is located at 632 South, 100 West, and is open every day from 6 a.m. to midnight. 801-465-9213.

Hundreds of local families will be giving thanks for months to come because of you

By Wendy OsborneIt took just a few weeks and an es-

timated 30,000+ pounds of food items were donated to Tabitha’s Way Food Pantry.

Food drives were held by local schools and organizations such as Dia-mond Fork Jr., Spanish Fork Jr., Maple Mountain High, Cherry Creek, Canyon, East Meadows, Spanish Oaks, and Foot-hills Elementary Schools along with the Spanish Fork Library. My eyes and those at Tabitha’s are widened with amazement at what some of these kids have accom-plished in such a short amount of time!

Although thousands of pounds of food was gathered by each school and organi-zation, we would like to extend a special note of recognition to Diamond Fork Jr. High School for gathering the most food plus collecting over $4,000 dollars in

funds to purchase additional food sup-plies. This year we had 60 more families than the year prior that were in need of a Turkey. Diamond Fork Jr. High stepped in and used a portion of the money they raised to purchase turkeys for these fam-ilies and insure that they had all that was needed to celebrate this Thanksgiving holiday.

To everyone who has supported our cause and donated food, time, money and supplies; I want to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude. I am honored to see and be a part of this community’s tradition of generosity. As the families we serve express their appreciation, I know that the “thanks” actually belongs to God and to you. May God bless you for helping to put meals on the table for these struggling families and for letting me witness LOVE in action every day.

Dr. Richard Bird helping patients of all ages.

Hear for the HolidaysUtah Valley Hearing and Balance is

giving the gift to ‘Hear for the Holidays’ to one lucky outstanding citizen this hol-iday season. This gift includes one set of hearing aids, counseling for the hearing impaired and a comprehensive hearing evaluation. This gift to ‘Hear for the Holidays’ will go to a citizen that gives to others before themselves. ‘Hear for the Holidays’ giveaway started because Dr. Bird of Utah Valley Hearing & Bal-ance has seen many of his patients that are in need of hearing aids but put it off because they keep putting the needs of others fi rst.

Dr. Bird has been in practice since 2012. He graduated from BYU then went onto audiology school in Louis-ville, Kentucky. Dr. Bird mainly works with patients who have hearing loss, ver-tigo, ringing in ears and need ear wax removal; but loves when he can help someone with unusual problems as well. He recently had a patient with sudden hearing loss. Dr. Bird was able to diag-nose the problem quickly and instead of the patient losing his hearing completely, he was able to get his hearing back.

Dr. Bird chose to set up his practice in Springville because of the great citizens

he would be able to work with. Helping his patients is Dr. Bird’s favorite part of his day. “I mostly work with the very young or seniors in my business. I love working with seniors most because they are very refi ned and kind people. They have a lot of character with very strong values and morals.” It is that character and strong values he hopes to pass along to his two daughters. His spare time is spent with his family riding bikes at the park and playing in the hammock in the back yard. “It is the small things that make my life great. Every day is a fun day at the Bird house,” says Dr. Bird.

The small and selfl ess acts that Dr. Bird sees his patients do, prompted him to give back to his community. Please help Dr. Bird give the gift to ‘Hear for the Holidays’ this year an outstanding citizen. Visit www.UtahValleyHearin-gandBalance.com or stop by his offi ce at 380 East 400 South, Springville to nominate someone in the community in need of hearing aids. Submissions are due December 12th and winners will be announced December 17th. Nominate a parent, grandparent, neighbor or friend who is in need and tell Dr. Bird how they give of themselves and serve others fi rst.

Smile Makeover 2014By Dawn Davis

So many of us know people who ev-eryday go out of their way to help friends, neighbors and total strangers. They fi nd the courage to over-come whatever life throws at them, and still manage to make this world a little brighter for other peo-ple. They deserve a chance to get some-thing in return.

On Friday, November 21st, Gunner-son Dental in Payson, UT held a pri-vate dinner to announce the winner of their 2014 Smile Makeover Contest. In attendance were the staff of Gunnerson Dental, the contest sponsors, ( Dr Cam-eron Egbert of Summit Oral and Max-illofacial Surgery, Chris Baird of Serve Daily, Alesha Snell of Revolution Dental Prosthetics and SueAnn Harnden of 56 West Boutique and Salon ), along with the top 3 fi nalists, Jessica Ledbetter, Shawn Shearer, Natasha Ahlin and their guests. Representing the City of Payson

was Mayor Rick Moore. To become a fi nalist, someone nominated them and wrote an essay about why this person is an “Outstanding Citizen” in the commu-nity and why they deserve a new smile. The entries were then narrowed down to 4 fi nalists. The public then voted on who they thought deserved to win and those fi nalists were invited to the private din-ner.

Gunnerson Dental’s 2014 Smile Makeover Winner is Shawn Shearer! Shawn will receive up to $30,000 to-wards a smile restoration, a spa make-over package and a photo shoot when the work is completed. But that’s not all. Jessica and Natasha did not walk away empty handed. They both received a $5,000.00 gift certifi cate to get their work started! Congratulations to Shawn, Jessica and Natasha! We can’t wait to see your new, beautiful smiles!
