Springville family gets life-changing gift from Dream Team

By Megan Wallgren for Serve Daily Serve Daily first featured Cameron Mims and his dedicated mother Carrie Bradley in the January 2019 issue. Cameron is a fighter who has struggled with lifelong health problems and is in need of a kidney transplant. Cameron crossed one final hurdle to getting the transplant he needs when Fox 13 news's Dream Team gifted the family with a new car and the final money needed to qualify for a transplant.

Carrie has worked hard at a local dry cleaner to support herself and her son and pay for his medical bills. In order to qualify Cameron for a transplant, she needs to have 3 months of salary saved up so she can stay home as his full-time nurse after his surgery. With mountains of medical bills and a car that was always breaking down, it seemed like an impossible task.

After receiving a referral from Carrie's friend Jenny, and reading about the family in Serve Daily, Fox 13's Dream Team decided to gift Carrie and Cameron with the money they needed to get him ready for a kidney transplant. They surprised Carrie at her work, Quality Dry Cleaners in Springville.

The Dream Team started their sur-

prise by giving Carrie increasingly large tips at the dry cleaning window. At one point she asked a co-worker in disbelief if she was on Candid Camera. The Dream Team then came in the door and presented Carrie with 3 months of salary from Dream Team sponsors Smith's Mountain America and Woodside Homes. Fox TV personality Big Budah made one more trip through the drive-through with a new car for a reliable way to make trips to Salt Lake for treatment.

Carrie is truly overwhelmed by the gift. "There's not words to express it and yet I could go on for hours about what it means," she said.

"It's been the most incredible whirlwind," she said. "You watch these things happen to people on TV and you never, ever, ever, ever think it's going to happen to you."

Carrie said this is the first time in years she hasn't felt stressed and now she sees how it's been affecting her health. The headaches and stomach pains have lifted. Cameron told her he'd never seen her this relaxed. "That's what they've done for us."

Cameron has been on dialysis for 8 years and yesterday got a call from the hospital caseworker saying they could come in to complete the application pro-

Thus far, Cameron looks like a good candidate for the surgery. The next step after getting the go-ahead will be beginning to test possible live donors. Donors will be tested 2 at a time beginning with close family members who are most like-

"I feel so blessed and so grateful," Carrie said. The experience has increased her faith in God and in the community.

Payson inducts first all female youth Scouts BSA troop

By Arianne Brown for Serve Daily This past March, the Boy Scouts of America Utah National Parks Council presented an official charter to Payson's first all-female youth Scouts, BSA troop — Troop 1734.

It was in 2017 when the 100+ year organization decided to allow both girls and boys to join the ranks, giving everyone who wants it, a chance to earn their Eagle Scout award. It wasn’t until this year, however, when the BSA would officially admit girls to the program. Now that it’s finally here, Troop 1734 leader Nicole Johnson, who is also the mother of a newly inducted female scout, couldn't be happier.

“I work for the Boy Scouts and Maple Dell Boy Scout camp, and our first two members were my daughter and a young lady who works for our scout camp,” Johnson said. “When the troop started forming last year, it was really the two of them who helped the troop to grow by sharing their excitement.”

According to Johnson, being girls in a program that has always been for boys, has never been about competing with the boys, but about earning something on your own merit.

“We didn't do this to compete with boys or the Girl Scouts,” she said. “We did this because my daughter has grown up in a Boy Scout camp. She has always wanted to participate and earn her Eagle Scout award, and the only thing that ever held her back was the fact she wasn't a boy. I don't feel a need to compete with anybody. Earning your Eagle is a significant amount of work, and doing it for the right reasons is the only reason you should do it.”

It isn’t just earning the coveted Eagle Scout Award, however, that Johnson said draws, or should draw both girls and boys to the BSA program.

“One of my favorite things about this program is that it’s intended to teach the youth important values and how to be leaders,” she said. “I also love the patriotic, spiritual, and trueness to oneself that is a part of Boy Scouts. I really like the Scout Oath and Law because as you break down each promise or sentence you think about how you would apply that to your own life and it's the kind of stuff just about everybody wants to live by.”

While Troop 1734 has officially formed, Johnson said she encourages new members to give it a try.

“I really recommend that anyone who is interested in joining this program do so, and not just girls,” she said. “One of

A member of Scouts BSA Troop 1734 starts a fire. my favorite things about this troop is the demographics that are coming together. I have girls that are as young as 10 up to 16. I like that we have girls that are more outgoing, and some that are extremely reserved, but together they're just a bunch of laughing girls having a good time.”

Springville City Councilman raising funds for cancer research

By Arianne Brown for Serve Daily For the past few years, Springville city councilman, Michael Snelson has embarked on a journey that is both personal and community oriented. It is a literal journey that will take him thousands of miles to complete, while at the same time, a personal journey that he hopes will help thousands of children suffering every day.

This coming June, Snelson will begin the Great Cycle Challenge to raise money to fight kids’ cancer by way of the Children's Cancer Research Fund.

The funds raised will allow the research fund to continue its work to develop life-saving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.

Each year, the councilman said he has a specific child who he is riding in honor of, while at the same time, always riding in remembrance of his nephew, Jeff who he lost seven years ago to brain cancer.

“My nephew, Jeff, was diagnosed with brain cancer before leaving on a Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints mission,” Snelson said. “He had to put off going for about nine months while receiving treatments, and then came home early, passing away not long after. It was

really hard on our whole family, and I’ve wanted to help other families like ours.”

In the Great Cycle Challenge, bikers have the entire month of June to complete their goal mileage and raise the amount of money each has set out to raise. This year, Snelson has made a goal of riding 500 miles and raising $1,000 — goals he knows are attainable.

“In 2017, I rode 777 miles and was the top Utah fundraiser with $2,700,” Snelson said. “Last year, I rode over 600 miles and was able to raise $1,600 toward cancer research.”

While the official mileage challenge has not begun, Snelson has already started raising funds, and is currently sitting as the top Utah fundraiser with just over $1,000 raised. And while Snelson knows he has already reached his financial goal, he hopes to raise even more.

“Cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States,” He wrote on his fundraising page. “Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week. Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.”

If you would like to donate to Michael Snelson’s efforts, go to greatcyclechallenge.com and search “Michael Snelson.”

EVERYDAY HEROES Circles Utah Valley joins

Nancy Reed serves Springville A Community Thrives crowdfunding campaign for nearly two decades Nancy Reed with her Springville cub soccer team.

By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily Lifelong Springville resident, Nancy Reed has worked for the Springville Recreation department for nineteen years, serving the last several years as a fulltime coordinator.

The intricacies and ins and outs of running a city recreation program are complex, and no one knows it better than Reed.

She puts teams together, hires and trains referees, and is the lifeblood of Springville sports. She also does payroll, hiring, terminations, and oversees softball tournaments. During any given sport’s season, she works with thirty to forty referees—a daunting feat that requires an enormous amount of coordination and patience.

Reed works in the office in the mornings, and then spends her evenings dragging the softball fields, preparing the city’s twenty soccer fields, training, watching the games and coaching two cub soccer teams.

Born and raised in Springville, Reed wouldn’t trade what she does for anything. Coworker Jodi Gooch explains the passion: “Nancy grew up on these fields around town, the same fields she now cares for and works on.”

On Sundays, as a child, Reed would sneak out of the house with her younger brother and walk to a nearby field. They set out large vegetable cans to use as soccer goals, hoping their parents wouldn’t

notice them missing. On one of these covert missions, she kicked a sprinkler head and broke her toe in two places.

Reed played five sports at BYU: basketball, tennis, volleyball, golf, and softball. Before moving back to Springville to work with the Recreation Department, Reed coached all of the girls’ sports at Emery County High School for twelve years.

“I knew when I was little what I wanted to do when I grew up: play sports at BYU and coach. Once I’d gotten that done, I started lawn mowing and working for the Rec Department,” Reed says.

All of her experience with her lawn care business has been a boon to our community because Reed goes to any length to make sure the fields are in optimal shape. “When I drive around town, I look at lawns.”

In her free time, Reed watches sports and “Walker, Texas Ranger.” She loves Snoopy, and her dog named Marty, a yorkie.

Softball is her favorite sport, but she likes them all. A lifelong dream is to attend Wimbledon someday.

When asked what the best part of her job is, Reed’s face lights up. “Being around all of the kids and watching them improve. I can go into Reams and a little girl says, ‘Hey Mom, that’s the sports lady.’” A recent post on the Springville/ Mapleton Utah Community Awareness Facebook page honored Nancy and more than sixty people commented to share their support and love of this Springville hero.

Mt. Nebo Chapter SUP THOUGHTS ON ZION holds monthly meetings Seeing the Two Faces of Pride

By LaRon Taylor for Serve Daily On Thursday, February 28, the Mt. Nebo Chapter of the Sons of Utah Pioneers had its monthly dinner meeting with members, spouses, and guests. As usual, the catered dinner was excellent.

Following the dinner, Mike and Kris Poulos gave a presentation on historical Kirtland, Ohio. They highlighted some of the interesting buildings and the Kirt-

land Temple, but focused on some of the great spiritual experiences of the early founders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Brother Poulos focused specifically on the number of times our Savior appeared.

This SUP chapter meets monthly and would love to have you come check us out. The catered meals are always excellent & only cost $13 per person. If you would like information on location and time, call Dan Howlett at 801-224-5885.

SERVE DAILY | APRIL 2019 | PAGE 6

By Jesse Fisher for Serve Daily If we are truly interested in fleeing Babylon and building Zion, we need to thoroughly understand the similarities and differences between pride, which moves society towards Babylon, and humility, which is the stepping stone to Zion. Pondering President Benson's landmark talk, "Beware of Pride", it becomes clear that both pride and humility have two main components: how we relate to God, and how we relate to our fellowmen. Let’s look at pride first and then humility next time.

1. Pride Pits Us Against God We simply cannot keep the First Great Commandment if we are proud.

Those who suffer from pride discount or openly reject God and/or His wisdom, thinking they know better how to run their lives. We can refer to this type of pride as “Pride 1”, as it is the #1 expression of pride and causes us to break the #1 commandment.

President Benson, describing our relationship to God when we suffer from pride, said, "We pit our will against God’s…. in the spirit of 'my will and not thine be done….' The proud wish God would agree with them. They aren’t interested in changing their opinions to agree with God’s."

Even as active LDS, we should ask ourselves whether we honestly seek the Lord's current will for ourselves and actively follow it. Or, do we suffer from Pride1 and go about our daily lives working towards goals we set for ourselves (or

worse, goals society sets for us) with no thought for God's desires for us?

2. Pride Pits Us Against Our Neighbor We simply cannot keep the Second Great Commandment if we are proud.

If we suffer from the universal sin of pride, we set ourselves in opposition to our fellow man as well. We judge everyone as being either above or beneath us -- not of equal worth. Because we believe our value in the hierarchy must be earned, we compete with our neighbors for the approval of those “above” us and the admiration of those “beneath”.

We can call this “Pride 2” as it causes us to break the #2 commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves, to value our brother as ourselves (D&C 38:24-25). President Benson described Pride 2 this way: "We are tempted daily to elevate ourselves above others and diminish them.

(See Hel. 6:17; D&C 58:41.) The proud make every man their adversary by pitting their intellects, opinions, works, wealth, talents, or any other worldly measuring device against others. In the words of C. S. Lewis: 'Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man. … It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest.'"

To achieve Zion, we must conquer both Pride 1 and Pride 2 in our personal lives and work together to replace them in our social institutions (schools, businesses, and churches) as well, as these institutions reinforce either Pride or Humility in all of us.

Fundraiser provides tote bags South Utah Valley Animal Shelter on wheels for food pantries receives $55,000 grant from Petco

By Ashley Thomas for Serve Daily Many people volunteer at Tabitha’s Way, a food pantry in Spanish Fork where those in need can go shopping for food.

One cold night, a woman came into the food pantry. Due to her recent surgery she wasn’t able to lift anything. She lived five blocks away and she had walked to Tabitha’s Way to get food. She didn’t have a vehicle. She was with a man who was capable of carrying food. They had four boxes of food. There was absolutely no way this man could have carried their food home.

We loaded their boxes of food into our vehicle and we drove this woman and man home. They were extremely grateful.

We realized this man and woman needed something to help them get their groceries home as they had no vehicle to use to transport food. The goal we had was to help those without vehicles get more food home. We found inexpensive tote bags on wheels that have shoulder straps that can be purchased online. These bags don’t take up a lot of space as they fold up. As we shared our idea to purchase these tote bags many friends and strangers donated money to this project. We are grateful for their generosity.

There are people who need food in Utah County. These tote bags will make a difference and they will be used to transport food from the food pantry. Our goal was to donate these bags to three different

food pantries. Tabitha’s Way in Spanish Fork, Tabitha’s Way in American Fork and Community Action Services in Provo.

We wanted to help several people across Utah County. We needed to raise more money to accomplish our goal. We called the Culver’s in Spanish Fork and they happily set up a fundraiser for these tote bags. We invited the missionaries, Lindsey and Alexis, to help with this Culver’s fundraiser. We also invited our friend Cristal and her daughter Mirra to help. Everyone met at Culver’s and we served food for three hours. Many people from our neighborhood, friends and family came and ate at the Culver’s to support this fundraiser. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the Culver’s food and ice cream. The Culver’s food was delicious and we were so grateful for the opportunity to experience and be a part of this fundraiser.

Several people came together to make this fundraiser happen. A graphic designer created the flyer for this fundraiser. The J-Mart in Spanish Fork printed several of these flyers. The Macey’s grocery store handed these flyers out to customers. The fundraiser at the Culver’s was an absolute success. We recently placed an order for one hundred and twenty-two tote bags.

Thank you to everyone who gave their money, time, and services to these tote bags on wheels. They are currently being shipped to us and they will be delivered to three food pantries in Utah County.

Volunteers work a fundraisers at Culver's to raise money for totebags.

South Utah Valley Animal Shelter (SUVAS) in South Utah County announced it has been awarded a $55,000 grant from the Petco Foundation to support its Adoption Readiness (spay/neuter/vaccinate) program.

The Petco Foundation investment will help make animals at SUVAS ready for adoption through spay/neuter surgeries and vaccinations, therefore increasing the chance that more pets find loving homes.

“I want to personally thank the Petco Foundation for helping us save more lives!” said Kierstan Munford, executive director at SUVAS. “SUVAS is always trying to find ways to better the lives of the animals in our community and make it possible for them to find forever homes.

This grant will enable us to spay/neuter/ vaccinate more animals making them adoption ready and will help reduce the pet population entering the shelters.”

SUVAS is a nonprofit shelter serving South Utah County since 2003. SUVAS intakes over 4,000 animals annually. The shelter reunites pets with their owners, finds rescues to rehome animals, and has steadily increased adoption rates.

The Power to Create Positivity Matters

By Julie Hall for Serve Daily

The power we are introducing into our story for the month of April is the Power to Create. It is my belief that as humans we are hard-wired to create. Every person on earth has the power to create something. It does not matter where we come from, what we look like, or what talents we may or may not possess. We can all create.

I believe our greatest creation should be ourselves. Through our My Hero Journey curriculum, we are helping students to look inward first. Students are encouraged to create their own path, by discovering who they are first. The lesson helps them by exploring what they love to do, their favorites and what talents they may have. They also explore what interests, hobbies and talents they would like to learn more about and incorporate into their lives. Creating our own path is much easier when we know what we love and what talents are already ours. When we know these things about ourselves we gain a better understanding of how we see

the world and what is beautiful to us as individuals. We can then begin to create a path that is true to who we are.

The lesson then helps the student understand that feelings are an important part of our existence and that it is ok to feel. They are asked questions about sadness and happiness: why and when they feel each emotion. Through activities, the lesson helps the students discover that they are in control of how they process and deal with emotions and that they are in control of the outcome.

Now the students are equipped with the tools of knowing what they love and what are their talents are and that emotions are ok and they are in control of the outcome; they can create a path for themselves. A path that may look different than anyone around them and may move a different direction, be smooth or rough, long or short.

It is the path that is right for them.

So, a challenge during April, take a look at your own story and find ways that you can use the "Power to Create.” Use talents that you already have or explore and discover different talents and hobbies and create something you never thought possible.

By Amy Chandler for Serve Daily Occasionally at My Story Matters when we do an interview with a student what they choose to share changes our hearts forever. My Story Matters had the opportunity to interview an incredible young man whose story inspired us and we wanted to share it with you. Due to the sensitivity and security of the story, we have had to change his name.

As I sat across from Joshua I quickly became mesmerized as the details of his story emerged. At age 6, he was living inside a community near Turkey. The area was being protected by US soldiers. The soldiers were also spending time teaching the children English. Joshua picked up on the language quickly and was one of the few young students who could communicate fluently in English. Frequently local militant groups would begin to advance to their community with the intent to do harm, Joshua was immediately summoned to alert the troops. He would run and tell the US Soldiers what he knew.

They would advance and quickly thwart the militants from having any success in overtaking their community.

The militant group realized there had to be an informant. It is not known how they learned it was Joshua, but they knew. One day Joshua and his mother went into town to get some much-needed supplies. When they returned they found their entire family had been slaughtered by the militant group, father, grandmother, aunts, cousins; everyone except Joshua’s two severely disabled brothers. In their culture having a disability was a disgrace and so the militants had purposely left them with no one but the two who would make it the hardest for them to survive with.

Joshua had to wipe away several tears as he shared this part of his story with me. So many horrible things he witnessed and pain he experienced. Joshua and his mother quickly took his two brothers and fled on foot with just a few essentials.

They found refuge in a cave in Turkey.

They lived there for the next 10 years in isolation. One of the essentials Joshua took with him was an iPhone and a solar charger. During the day he would place the charger in the sun and at night he would stay awake watching tutorials on YouTube. He taught himself, English, Math, Science, and more.

In some internet searches, he learned of a way to enter the Refugee placement program and come to America. After much consideration, they risked everything and left their safety in the cave and traveled to the town where they could submit their paperwork. They were chosen to come to America. Once they arrived they learned they would be sent to Salt Lake City.

That’s where we met Joshua.

Often when refugees arrive they begin classes to learn to read, write, and speak English. They struggle in many of the subjects as they try to catch up from years of little education. Educators quickly became puzzled by Joshua. He would hardly talk, but he was getting perfect scores on every worksheet they gave him. He could read and write English fluently. He mastered any math assignment they gave him. After just being here 6 months they decided to give him the ACT. This young man who was self-educated on YouTube in a cave while helping care for his two brothers scored a 34 on his ACT on the first try.

His brothers have been receiving excellent care and advancing as well. I sat in awe as I listened to so many of the details, and heard his dreams for the future.

I have no doubts this young man will use his gifts and talents to create solutions to help humanity, he already has. I desperately wanted to meet with his mother and hear her story, what a life of courage, bravery, and hope she created for her children. What obstacles do you see that are stopping you from creating the story you want? Do you look for several solutions for change or do you find yourself imprisoned to no way out? Take courage from Joshua and choose to be brave and create new opportunities today!

The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.

Two South Utah County teens featured in Utah Valley Magazine’s ‘Fab 40’

By Arianne Brown for Serve Daily Each year in the month of March, the popular, Utah Valley Magazine does an issue highlighting 40 individuals who have been influential within the community, and calls them the “Fab 40.” According to the writer of this year's’ edition, Ansalee Morrison, the magazine’s goal is to highlight 40 fabulous people from a variety of ages and backgrounds from around Utah Valley. This year’s theme was centered around superpowers, with each individual featured being asked his or her “save-the-day moments, personal kryptonites, heroes and preferred superpowers.”

In this year’s edition, four individuals were from the South Utah County area — two of whom are teens who Morrison said had impressive accomplishments and stories worthy of sharing.

The first teen from our area featured on the list at no. 20, is no stranger to the Serve Daily audience. In fact, Serve Daily ran a story on him and his dad in our December issue showcasing a clothing line aimed at suicide awareness and prevention. It is his clothing line, “Your Tribe Clothing,” that helped earn Springville High School junior, Kaden Garcia his spot on UVM’s Fab 40 list.

According to the article, Kaden said his kryptonite was negativity, and his savethe-day moment was being a listener. “I know [negativity] isn’t something that is very avoidable in today’s day, but time to time negativity from around me tries to get me down,” he told Utah Valley Magazine. “I’m always an ear to listen to the struggles of those I’m close to, and I feel like a hero when I can help them through things.”

Kaden Garcia (left) and Dallin Pepper (right) were honored as part of Utah Valley’s Fab 40.

Kaden told Serve Daily that being featured in the magazine was an honor, and he hopes to continue to grow the clothing line to break the stigma of suicide.

“We want to continue to grow our business and spread the word to break the stigma of suicide as much as we can,” he said.” We want to get the word spread to everyone. ... We love the help and kindness we find in new people that reach out to us and those that are so willing to sacrifice their own time to help us. On our social media [page], we let it be known we want everyone to be a part of this with us and that our inbox is always open to people’s words.”

tured after being named “Fittest Teen on Earth” two years in a row by the CrossFit Games. Pepper was also featured in Serve Daily after earning his first title in 2017.

Dallin told UVM that the hero he looks up to is his mom, stating, “[My mom] works harder than anyone I know — two or three jobs all the time — to support us and let us do the things we want to do.

She taught me that sometimes you have to do crappy things you don’t want to do to get to the things you do want to do.”

When Serve Daily asked Dallin how it felt to be named Fittest Teen and featured in the magazine, he said he didn’t feel any different.

“It honestly didn’t feel any different,” he said. “There was a sense of relief

knowing all the hard work paid off, but you have to remember happiness doesn’t lie on the other side of achievement. You have to enjoy the process of getting there.

I want other teens to know that you can literally do anything you want to do if you work hard enough. You’re the only thing stopping you.”

Dallin doesn’t plan on his success ending with this title, telling Serve Daily that he is going to continue competing in CrossFit, and hopes to someday win the CrossFit Games as an adult.

GINNY’S GENEALOGICAL GEMS Canadian Censuses available online

By Ginny Ackerson for Serve Daily Canadian censuses are online and searchable from 1825 to 1926. Before 1871, census enumerations were conducted in different areas in various years.

Many of those early records have not survived; you will have to check carefully for the area and time you are researching to see what censuses are available.

Canada has taken a nationwide census every ten years since 1871. The latest national census available is 1921.

The Canadian censuses are very similar to American censuses with some exceptions. Before 1851 only heads of households were listed. In 1851 every person in the household was named. The 1901 census is especially valuable because it includes the full birthdate of everyone

enumerated. Canadian censuses also include a person’s religion, which opens more research avenues.

Remember, in the French-speaking areas, the censuses are recorded in French, so have a French dictionary handy.

In 1871, there are two indexed databases of Ontario, one done by the historical society and one by a partner of the Canadian Library and Archives. It might be wise to check both, but remember that the index done by the historical society is not linked to images.

The Plains provinces, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, had enumerations in 1906, 1916, and every 10 years since with 1926 being the latest census available online.

Online censuses are also available at Ancestry.com, FamilySearch.org and http://automatedgenealogy.com/.

The Payson Utah temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily Editor’s Note: This is the third article in a Serve Daily series on local religious buildings.

Completed and dedicated in 2015, the Payson temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was the first of its kind to be built in the lower half of Utah County.

With views of Dry Mountain and Loafer Mountain in the background, the Payson temple’s neoclassical architecture stands out amongst the modest structures in this town of a little over 12,000 people.

There are twenty Church of Jesus Christ temples in the state; the other temples built in Utah County now include one built in American Fork and two in Provo.

The Payson temple is located near 930 West and 1550 South and is the tenth largest temple in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The temple district covers 27 stakes, servicing over 90,000 members.

When President Thomas S. Monson announced there would be a temple built in Payson in 2010, he said, “Temples answer those soul-searching questions of the purpose of life, of why we are here and where we are going. They are sanc-

tuaries from the storms of life and bless the lives of members of the Church who worship within their sacred walls.”

The sheer size, simple geometric shapes, and long, vertical lines of the 96,630 square feet building support its Neoclassical style. Sitting on nearly fifteen acres, the temple is surrounded by trees, water features, and immaculate landscaping.

The flowers on the stained glass start as buds. However, as you go higher up in the temple, they bloom and blossom. Also featured on the stained glass are images of the surrounding apple orchards.

Wadman Corporation describes the unique beauty of this temple. “It is designed in a classical architectural style influenced by the pioneer vernacular architecture of the area. Exterior expression is executed in a highly articulated architectural precast concrete cladding in a warm color tone evocative of historically used native stone and masonry.”

After its completion in 2015, the Utah Chapter of the Associated Builders and Contractors awarded the Payson temple the Champion Project of the Year. It was also awarded the Worship Project of the Year by the Associated Contractors of Utah and the Most Outstanding Community Institutional for a large building by Utah Construction and Design.

Above: Student participates are hypnotized by the Hypno Hick at the the Homeless for a night activity at Spanish Fork High School.

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily The 9th annual Homeless for a Night, also known as HFAN, was hosted by the Spanish Fork High School Student Council to raise money for a Make-A-Wish child. This year’s event was for Lillie, a five-year-old with cancer whose wish is to see Disneyland.

The event was held Friday night, March 8, from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. High school students from all over the valley were there to participate. Admission was $20 for an advanced purchase ticket and $25 at the door.

The feature event of the evening was a hypnotist, followed by a live music dance in the Spanish Fork High School gymnasium. Elsewhere in the building were video games, board games, a climbing wall and food.

By seven o'clock the bleachers were full, and people were beginning to sit on the floor awaiting comedy hypnotist Hypno Hick, otherwise known as Shaun D. Christensen. He had 24 chairs arranged in

an arc and asked for volunteers. For an hour and a half, he entertained the crowd by asking the hypnotized students to do various acts such as fall asleep, drive a fast car, lay on the floor and dance.

It was clean and hilarious comedy and the crowd wanted more. After almost two hours the program came to an end with a brief discussion on how to always feel confident in yourself.

The gym floor was cleared, the bleachers retracted, the music began, and the lights went low. The students were having a great time and lot of calories were burned in the next four hours.

A school official said about 1,500 turned out for the night of fun and fundraising for Lillie’s trip to Disneyland.

Students visit Duncan Fiesta Days Rodeo Reading Aviation airplane maintenance facility

By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily Students from the Nebo School District ALC High School Aviation program visited the new Duncan airplane maintenance and modification center being completed at the Provo Airport.

The new Duncan Aviation facility is a 70+ million-dollar investment that is a huge complex of hangars for business jet inspection, repair, modification and painting. The complex which is still under construction will have 275,000 square feet of inside space when completed.

The company currently has 135 employees and that number is expected to grow to 200 by the end of the year. The facility is located at the north end of the Provo Airport.

Duncan Aviation obviously has a very positive outlook regarding the future of business aviation in the United States and worldwide. This was an opportunity for the students to see another option in aviation than the airline industry.

The group of 40 students were divided into four groups to tour various areas of the Duncan complex. The main hangar area is huge and can accommodate up to

12 business jets depending on the size. A second identical hangar is under construction. Depending on the work required an airplane can be in the hangar 2 hours to 2 months. Turn around time is important because these are working airplanes in the world of corporate transportation.

The parts room inventory is just shy of a million dollars. Additionally, the parts room ships and receives about 50 packages a day. The two huge paint hangars are still under construction and when completed will be the first “Green” paint facility in a private Maintenance Repair Center in the world. This paint hangar will put out cleaner air than we breathe right now. As an interesting side note, it takes 60 to 80 gallons of paint to paint a large airplane.

The students toured the fuel farm where technicians explained how fueling was handled. Upstairs in the main hangar, the students saw the tire shop. Battery test shop, and the Non-Destructive Testing Laboratory which is still under construction. The two-hour tour concluded back at the temporary lobby with some comments from Human Resource Specialist for Duncan Aviation Provo, Mina Perry, before departing on the school bus.

Nebo School District is excited to partner with the Fiesta Days Rodeo team to challenge our elementary students in the Spanish Fork area to read more.

The Fiesta Days Rodeo Committee kicked off the assemblies with a lineup consisting of Nick Hanks, Seth Perrins, Dale Robinson, Jimmy Gull, Angie Warner, and Kevin Parker along with the Fiesta Days Rodeo Queen, Alli Johansen, and Second Attendant, Savannah Ogden.

The students were asked to log their reading for the month of April. The students will turn in their reading minutes to their teacher and each grade will have a winner. During the assembly, the students also learned about rodeo events including team roping, barrel racing, and bull riding to name a few. Did you know that the average bull weighs 2,400 pounds?

Last year the students’ combined read-

ing total reached 2 million minutes or 33,970 hours. Two student readers at each elementary school will be announced Friday, July 19, 2019, the first night at the Fiesta Days Rodeo in Spanish Fork. These winning students will receive tickets to the Fiesta Days Rodeo, Justin boots, Wrangler Jeans, and a Resistol cowboy hat as well as be involved in the opening ceremonies on the opening night of the Fiesta Days Rodeo.

Schools accepting the Rodeo Reading Challenge include: Brockbank Elementary Canyon Elementary East Meadows Elementary Larsen Elementary Maple Ridge Elementary Park Elementary Rees Elementary Riverview Elementary Sierra Bonita Elementary Spanish Oaks Elementary Good luck reading Nebo students. Let’s reach 3 million minutes this year.

ALA Show Choir named Grand Champions

American Leadership Academy’s prize winning show choir, Evolution.

By Stephanie Chingas for Serve Daily American Leadership Academy’s Show Choir, Evolution, competed at the FAME Orlando, National Competition March 16.

There are two National Show Choir Competition Companies, (FAME & Heart of America), which they competed at both March 8 and 16.

All of the other Show Choirs were either competing in their final competition or had one more in their Show Choir Season. It is a sport back east with a two

month season of many competitions.

Being the underdog, to compete twice yearly, it is remarkable to be able to compete with larger programs who have nearly finished 4-8 other competitions before the FAME Nationals, and for ALA to finish in the finals, and win Grand Champion, was a huge accomplishment for our small school.

The success of the program is largely due to the diligence and dedication of its directed, Rick Lunt.

“I could not be more grateful and proud of our ALA Evolution Show Choir. When I say 'Team,' I mean the singers, the tech crew, the show band, the show design

team, the costumers, the trailer driver, the tour planners, the hair design team, the makeup team, etc. The list goes on. All members of our team have been blessed in many ways. I thank all of them for the successes awarded! We all earned it. It is truly because of the LARGE EVO FAMILY and many long hours of some blood, sweat and tears that this 2019 competition tour has wrapped up so beautifully.”

American Leadership Academy Evolution was awarded a 4 place recognition, Best Tech Crew, and Best Costumes at the Heart of America competition in Kansas City. At the FAME Orlando competition, they were crowned Grand Champi-

on, Best Stage Presence by student Kaden Dengin, Best Show Design, and Best Choreography.

Local Pilots tour the ALC ALA March Teachers of the Month

By Stephanie Chingas Aviation Program for Serve Daily

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily

On Saturday morning, March 23, eight pilots from the local Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 753 toured the Nebo School District Advanced Learning Center (ALC) Aviation Program. The EAA was originally started as an association of people building their own airplanes and has now grown into one of the two largest general aviation advocacy organizations in the United States The Utah County Chapter of the EAA is a very active organization and asked the ALC Aviation instructor Mark Halls to give a presentation about the high school aviation program at their last meeting.

It was at this meeting that Mark invited the members to tour the ALC facility and aviation program with eight pilots showing up for a hands-on orientation to the program First, there was a walk through the ultramodern ALC building and the advanced courses available to excite and stimulate young minds. Students from the six high schools in the Nebo School District can come to the ALC for advanced courses that could not be offered at the individual high schools. In addition to Aviation, other courses include 3D graphics/ Animation, Architecture & Construction, Robotics, Criminal Justice, Computer Programing, and Film/Audio Engineering. Most important is the ability of the students to receive college credit for their studies at the ALC. Aviation instructor Mark Halls discussed the aviation curriculum and the teaching aids that the course has available. Within the aviation program five courses are offered; Aviation History, Air

Transportation, Private Pilot, Flight Simulator, and Unmanned Aerial Systems.

The star attraction was a flight simulator that replicates the cockpit and flight characteristics of a Cessna 172. This flight training device has a 160° visual display that displays the local scenery. The simulator also has motion to replicate the pitch, roll and yaw of the airplane. Every visiting pilot got an opportunity to “fly” the simulator. All were impressed with what the Nebo School District is offering our high school students.

Paul Eastman, a retired Professor of Engineering at BYU and a longtime pilot and flight instructor had this to say “I was greatly impressed by the Nebo School District’s ALC Aviation Program and the obvious support of the District for this program. The opportunity for high school students to learn about and prepare for potential careers in aerospace-related fields gives them a head start in deciding on further educational goals. This should motivate them to do well in all of their other classes as well.”

Michael Duke, President of the local EAA Chapter had this to say “Wow! What an amazing opportunity for youth to learn career and life skills in an extraordinary environment. The aviation simulators and facilities are inspiring. I wish this had been available when I was in high school.”

Our community is fortunate to have this educational facility and faculty thanks to the forward-looking leadership of the Nebo School District.

For more information about the ALC programs email info-ALC@nebo.edu or call (801) 489-2833. For more information about the local EAA Chapter email info@eaa753.org.

The talented Kade Bennett ALA April Teacher of the Month

By Elaine Hansen for Serve Daily

It is not unusual that American Leadership Academy’s reputation for excellence in performing arts draws students to our doors. This was the case for Kade Bennett of Mapleton, Utah who joined the student body as a shy 5th grader. Almost afraid of his own shadow, he was anxious to learn how to overcome his fears and increase his performance skills. He had written a song with his voice teacher, Becky Willard, that he performed for a school talent show and he performed it well enough to warrant some interest in fostering his talent to greater levels.

After leaving the fine arts track in Elementary he was able to enroll in the MDT program. Elaine Hansen, his Musical Theater teacher encouraged him to train the three disciplines that make up a triple-threat performer: singing, dancing and acting. Kade’s family embraced that counsel and started him dancing at Lifehouse Dance Academy, taking drama at ALA, and continuing voice lessons. Mrs. Hansen also noticed that Kade was very pigeon-toed and knock-kneed.

She thought that perhaps ballet training would help him develop out of this. But his challenge was deeper than that, and after 2 surgeries with Shriner’s Hospital, he slowly learned to reuse his legs and walk differently.

With his demonstration for hard work and diligent striving, he moved on to classical vocal training with Dr. Isaac Hurtado, renowned in the Opera world, and Kade’s voice dramatically improved and expounded. Tap became his favorite form of dance, but he was patient enough to put up with being an only boy in a beginning class of ballet with only young female dancers. It paid off as lead role credits appeared on his resume beginning his sophomore year with Gomez in The Addams Family, King Arthur in Spamalot (his junior year), and finally this last fall of 2018 he played the tenor role of Jack Kelly in ALA’s Newsies.

In about his junior year of high school he picked up yet another brilliant vocal coach: Dr. Juan Pereira with a dual specialty in Musical Theater and Opera, all while continuing to study at Lifehouse were he is frequently featured as a solo artist in the various revues and ballets.

Kade is quick to volunteer his time to

Kade Bennett help others with his audio technical and recording skills (including audio design and implementation for Blast). He has worked for the City of Spanish Fork for the Summer Movie Crew and AV Pro as an audio engineer. His dad Nathan and Kade have helped to design and implement the annual MDT Spook Alley for the Elementary Fall Festival. He has helped many younger singers who desire to sing with private vocal instruction and is the first to volunteer for any benefit concerts to help someone in need. Right behind him is his mother Leslie who has worked tirelessly as the Booster President for MDT. He put his best foot forward to become the Sterling Scholar of Vocal Music at American Leadership Academy for 2018-19, and was the only Sterling Scholar Applicant to move forward to the state level from ALA. At the State level, he was the impressive first runner-up, resulting in more scholarship opportunities.

Prior to receiving these awards, Kade had been invited from over 2,000 applicants across the country to audition for the top Musical Theater programs in the nation — Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburg, PA, as well as the prestigious classical musical program at the University of Michigan. He was accepted to Michigan while at the same time receiving full-tuition + books to Utah Valley University to continue studies with Dr. Isaac Hurtado. Learning he would not be able to be in any operas until his junior year at U of Michigan Kade has decided to stay at UVU. You will be able to celebrate Kade this summer playing the major role of Papageno in the UVAA (International Summer Opera Festival): The Magic Flute at UVU in the new Noorda Center.

Nebo Native American student Santaquin Elementary students honored as national Dreamstarter delighted the Nebo School Board

By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily A big congratulations to Taylor Eddie who is an eleventh-grader in Nebo School District at Maple Mountain High in Spanish Fork. She is a recipient of the 2019 Dream Starter Grant for the Running Strong Organization.

Each year Billy Mills, an American Indian Olympic Gold Medalist, awards $10,000 to American Indian organizations and communities. Many American Indians apply for this grant with the hopes they will be able to incorporate their vision or dream into a specific American Indian organization or community. This year, Taylor Eddie's dream was selected by the Running Strong Organization.

Taylor's dream for incorporating entrepreneurship into the Title VI Program: "Taylor’s dream is to introduce students to agriculture as a business. She plans to expand her farm with gardens and animals, and teach youth in her community about animal husbandry, the basics of business management, and the importance of agriculture to Native communities."-Direct quote from the Running Strong Organization website.

Eileen Quintana, the Program Director for the Nebo Title VI Program said, "I am so proud of Taylor Eddie! She came up with an incredible dream of introducing students to raising livestock and starting a business in agriculture. This is the second Dreamstarter coming out of Nebo School District Indian Education, which is quite a feat since they only pick 10 Dream Starters across the nation in one year.

This grant brings in $10,000 to Nebo Ti-

By Lana Hiskey for Serve Daily

Taylor Eddie tle VI Indian Education program to work with students in learning how to start a business. She will attend a Dreamstarter Academy in Washington DC, which will train her on entrepreneurship, public speaking and community networking.

Taylor Eddie will have one year to complete her project."

Taylor Eddie exemplifies the qualities necessary to be a leader among her peers and is definitely a role model for other American Indian students in her school and community. The Title VI Staff and Parent Committee are excited to see what activities, field trips, and projects she integrates into the Nebo Title VI Program.

Congrats, Taylor Eddie!

And a huge thank you to Running Strong Organization for this wonderful opportunity to strengthen American Indian Organization like ours.

Santaquin Elementary School’s principal, Ien Richins thanked the Nebo School Board of Education for this opportunity to share just some of the exciting things happening at the school. Santaquin’s fourth- and sixth-grade students each presented a dance, and the sixth grade sang about the water cycle along with their dance. Both performances related to the grade’s core curriculum. Music helps to reinforce some of the main concepts being taught in the classroom.

Principal Richins said, “The students did a fantastic job on their performances!”

After the student performances, Sarah Jorgensen, school community council member, addressed the board and shared some ways Santaquin Elementary spends their Trust Land money.

“I am serving in my first term on our school community council and love working with other wonderful parents, teachers, and our new principal, Mr. Richins, reviewing middle and year end test scores and discussing the academic needs of our students and teachers to continually improve learning and intellectual growth for all students,” stated Jorgensen.

Trust Land Funds have been a blessing for Santaquin Elementary. The school is no longer a Title I School, so the Trust Land Funds are utilized for the STEP

Reading Program. Over half of the Trust Land Funds pay technicians that work with students in reading and math with STEP, Imagine Learning, and Reteach and Enrich. The school will continue to keep the library open during the summer to encourage students to read throughout the year.

Santaquin’s Trust Land Funds are used to replace all of the outdated and dying Chromebooks. Many of the teachers went the extra mile to apply and qualify for additional grants from the Nebo Education Foundation to maximize the Trust Land money. There is nearly one Chromebook per student for upper grades. Lower grade classrooms each have a station of five or six Chromebooks that are used daily by students.

The Trust Land Funds also pay for professional development for the teachers through workshops, conferences, and focused observations. Funds are also used to pay substitute teachers while our teachers are receiving this training.

Jorgensen said, “At Santaquin Elementary, we as parents, teachers, and administrators are committed to academic excellence and growth. We are grateful for the Trust Land Funds to provide academic assistance, and we strive to assure that the money spent will have the greatest impact possible for our students. Thank you for letting us share some of the great things we have going on at Santaquin Elementary School.”

Zions Bank rewards Springville Payson High’s 4A State student for great grades Champion Wrestlers

By Kallee Feuz for Serve Daily Springville High 10th grader Caleb Lanier won a $100 scholarship savings account as a regional winner of the spring drawing of Zions Bank’s Pays for A’s program.

Pays for A’s rewards students who put in the effort to make their grades count.

Chad Bishoff, manager of the Zions Bank Springville branch, surprised Lanier with his win during an assembly on March 8.

Lanier was entered into the drawing by bringing his report card to Zions Bank and was paid for every “A” he received.

More than 2,200 students throughout Utah and Idaho entered the drawing.

“In an era of increasing costs for higher education, it’s more important than ever

for students to start saving for the future.

We’re proud that Lanier has taken an important step towards achieving his academic goals,” Bishoff said.

Over the past 15 years, Pays for A’s has rewarded thousands of students across Utah and Idaho for working hard in school. Students ages 12 to 18 can participate by bringing their most current termend report card into any Zions Bank location. Students do not need a Zions Bank account to participate. They’ll receive $1 per “A” deposited into their savings account, or 50 cents per “A” if they opt for cash. For each “A” on their report cards, students are entered into a drawing to win one of 150 regional scholarship prizes, each worth $100, and one grand prize, worth $1,000, in each state.

Bakeshop opens in historic downtown Payson re-establishing a long held tradition

By Melanie Keck for Serve Daily The Keck family have re-opened the bakeshop on Main Street in Payson where the bakery stood as a pillar of the community for over 70 years. She is bringing back the old fashioned, goodness of years gone by. The new business is called Sugar Ridge Bakery & Soup.

The Historic bakery at 17 South Main street in Payson is full of tradition. People came from far and near to experience the goodness created at Roe’s Bakeshop in the past. She loves to hear the stories of customers as they reminisce old times

and good memories at the bakeshop. The old bakery cases have held a lot of love.

Melanie loves to see the children come in and watch as their eyes fill up with joy as they get a “real bakery experience”. Her heart fills with joy as She fondly remembers going to Roe’s bakery as a young child with her parents and grandparents.

Melanie loves bringing people together over food. There is something about enjoying home-cooked, handcrafted food that fills the soul in a way nothing else can. She always says “There is always room for one more at my table”. She hopes to feed many hearts and souls in the years to come as she carries on the tradition of baking with heart and soul.

Sugar Ridge Bakery & Soup is re-establishing a tasty tradition in Payson.

Help the Chairbound Sportsman Teriyaki Madness boasts big, “bowl’d,” flavorful food Fundraising Banquet

A successful Chairbound Sportsman hunt.

By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily Emily and Kevin Bowman have opened Utah’s very first Teriyaki Madness restaurant in Spanish Fork, located at 788 N. 800 E. The Bowmans moved to Spanish Fork from Las Vegas five years ago after their young son was diagnosed with cancer.

Within a month of his diagnosis, they’d left their lives behind and relocated so they could be closer to Primary Children’s Medical Center in Salt Lake City.

After receiving treatment, their son is now cancer free and the Bowman family has been forever impacted by the generosity and support they’ve received from the community ever since.

Since the move, whenever the five Bowman children travel back to Las Vegas, they ask their parents two questions: “When are we visiting Granny?” and “When are we going to Teriyaki Madness?”

That second question will be a lot easy to answer now that their parents own one here in town.

Teriyaki Madness got its start in Seattle in 2003, and its first franchisee was Kevin Bowman’s brother-in-law, Randy Thomas, who opened up two shops in Las Vegas. This is where the Bowman family got their first taste of the fast-casual food.

After attempts to get Thomas to open a store in this area proved unfruitful, Bowman decided to open his own. This has been a two year journey, and Bowman is ecstatic that things are up and running.

Teriyaki Madness prides itself on its image of being “a little left of center.”

This is evidenced by the clever and funny signage used in the restaurant. The franchise even won an award a few years

A Teriyaki Madness Bowl ago for its “chork,” a brilliantly designed cross between a fork and chopsticks.

One of the things that makes Teriyaki Madness unique is its customizable menu. It’s easy for people with specific dietary needs or particular tastes to order exactly what they want. Most of the menu items can be made gluten free.

Their most popular dish is the chicken teriyaki, served with white rice, brown rice, fried rice, or noodles and steamed or stir-fried vegetables. The next most popular is the spicy chicken, and their egg rolls and chicken pot stickers are favorite side dishes.

Creating fifteen new jobs for the community, Spanish Fork’s Teriyaki Madness is the start of something big for the whole state, as it is the first of a planned eleven stores here.

The 1823-square-foot restaurant is located at 788 N. 800 E. in Spanish Fork and is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

You can also support the organization by buying a dinner package or corporate table at the banquet.

During the past year, 158 free activities were completed for disabled people and wounded warriors from all over the Wasatch region. Kenneth Vaughn, the founder of the Chairbound Sportsman Organization in Springville has something planned every month and sometimes twice a month. The joy these events bring to the wheelchair-bound, young and old, to pursue their passion for hunting and fishing is the reward for the committed volunteer staff.

All Aboard at the Springville Museum of Art

By Deborah Goodman for Serve Daily

A painting celebrating the Golden Spike at the Springville Museum of Art.

ACCIDENT ?

CALL NOW !

“All Aboard!” the train-themed exhibit perfect for families and people of all ages, is on display now until September 21 at the Springville Museum of Art. The opening reception took place on March 6 to a standing-room-only crowd. The exhibit contains artwork of all shapes and sizes featuring anything to do with locomotives, bullet trains, tracks, steam engines, conductors, train stations, and more. It is interspersed with vinyl letting of phrases such as “I’ve been working on the railroad” and “Trains, Trains, Trains.”

Photo ops abounded at the reception, with a cardboard cutout of a “train station” being a favorite spot. The reception also provided a reading corner containing books about trains, a musical chairs game, an interactive wall display, snacks and drinks, and a mapped mat and table on which children played with little wooden trains. Attendees also made a papercraft of a conductor hat.

After completing the activities at each station, the children brought their punched boarding

passes back to the entry table, where they received a wooden train whistle as a prize.

This delightful exhibit is in collaboration with Spike 150, a statewide movement that will commemorate the completion of America’s first transcontinental railroad at the May 10th Golden Spike Sesquicentennial Celebration and Festival.

This event will take place over the weekend of May 10 at Promontory Summit.

Three thousand people are expected to attend the Kickoff Event and 50,000 are expected to attend the weekend celebration, which will feature theatrical productions, music, exhibits, and fireworks shows. There will be a choir of 150 5th, 6th, and 7th graders from all over the state.

The movement has involved each region of Utah and will capture the essence of the impact a transcontinental railroad has had on our economy and how we conduct our lives. According to the Spike 150 website: “The construction of the railroad changed our way of life, connected people, and demonstrated that great things can happen with vision, hard work, and collaboration.”

Swede Larson

By Ginny Ackerson for Serve Daily The Springville Arts Commission is pleased to present Swede Larson, a classical guitarist, as our featured artist for the Sunday Concert Series on April 28 at 4:30 p.m. in the Grand Gallery of the Springville Museum of Art. This is an exception to our usual third Sunday schedule as Easter falls on our regularly scheduled day. This concert is free to the public and all are welcome.

Swede holds a Masters’ degree in Humanities with a focus in Philosophical reasoning and has a great ability to connect to his students, particularly from diverse cultural backgrounds. He is working toward a PhD in Cognitive Psychology with

an emphasis in instruction and is fantastic at coaching his students to achieving their personal musical goals. He has had many years of teaching and administering at both the collegiate level and K-12 schools in Arizona, Utah and London.

He has an energetic and outgoing personality with an easy vibe and is exceptionally skilled with the guitar. He particularly loves performing classical guitar and has written, produced, and recorded a number of incredible albums. After college, Swede began a project to record the entire contents of Guitar Classics Vol. 1 edited by Jerry Willard, in the span of just one year. During that time, he learned a great deal about what it takes to produce an acceptable classical guitar recording.

In 2015, Swede began teaching guitar at London Studios and took a sabbatical from performing in order to focus on teaching. Throughout his musical career Swede has guided guitarists from many different walks of life, with many different goals in playing. His guidance on the guitar is focused on bringing the highest musicianship and the solid technique of playing regardless of style or genre.

The last performance in the Sunday Concert Series for this season (there will be no concerts during June and July) will be given by Louise Payne, a soprano.

Payne has performed various roles in opera and theater. She has taught voice lessons privately as well as at The University for Children. She and her family enjoy music together.

The Funny-ish Files We Are Not a Perfect Family

Our kids are perfect...aren't they?

By Joe Capell for Serve Daily We have a perfect family. We have four cute kids. They are very well-behaved.

They get good grades on their report cards. They are quiet and polite in church.

They are always smiling and happy. They get along with others. They get along with each other. They do what they're told and say "please" and "thank you" at the appropriate times. People we hardly know tell us all the time how great our kids are.

We have a perfect family.

We do NOT have a perfect family. We have four kids. They are loud and unruly.

They forget to do their homework. When they actually do their homework, they forget to turn it in. Their hair often looks like a bird has made a nest on the top of their heads. They occasionally leave strange puddles on the carpet floor. They scream because there is not enough milk in their cereal. They scream because there is too much milk in their cereal. They pick at each other. They pick on each other. They pick their noses. (And sometimes they eat what they have picked!) They are ungrateful and entitled. We do NOT have a perfect family.

There is no such thing as a perfect fami-

ly. But, everything I said in that first paragraph is true. Our kids can be good and fantastic and wonderful. And, everything I said in that second paragraph is also true. Our kids can be terrible and horrible and annoying. That's what it's like trying to raise a family in real life.

We may not have a perfect family, but we do have perfect moments.

There are moments when the kids share with each other without being told to do so. There are moments when they do their chores without being asked. There are moments when they are playing together and they are all getting along and laughing. There are moments when they are polite and grateful. There are moments when they eat all of their vegetables.

(And ask for more!) There are moments when they tell you that they love you, and you can tell they really mean it.

Those are the moments that make up for having to endure all of the fighting, the screaming, the whining, the pouting, the attitude, and the occasional strange puddles.

There's no such thing as a perfect family, but there are some perfect moments.

And those moments make it all worthwhile.

Jurassic National Monument

By Ed Helmick for Serve Daily This new National Monument in Utah was signed into law March 12, 2019. This local dinosaur quarry south of Price, Utah has been known as the Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry administered by the Bureau of Land Management.

First discovered by paleontologists in 1927, the quarry has the densest concentration of Jurassic period bones ever found. As of 2018, it was reported that one egg and more than 15,000 bones belonging to at least 74 dinosaurs have been removed from this site. Bones from this site have been assembled as skeletons are on display at over 60 museums worldwide. It remains a working quarry.

The quarry was first recognized as a National Landmark in 1966 and the Bureau of Land Management’s first-ever visitors center was opened in 1968. The current visitor center was opened in 2007. Now, this dinosaur quarry has become Utah’s ninth National Monument.

Why the dense concentration of bones at this specific location is still a mystery with scientists debating several theories.

What is known is that this was a death trap that captured many dinosaurs. Many of the bones are from Allosaurus, one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs of the Jurassic era. Skeletal remains of plant-eat-

SERVE DAILY | APRIL 2019 | PAGE 26

identified by paleontologists. If you or your kids have any interest in dinosaurs this is an amazing place.

The road to the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry/Jurassic National Monument is not on the way to any place, it must be your destination. The easiest route to the Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry is to drive south out of Price, Utah, on Utah Highway 10 for about 12 miles to the junction with Utah Highway 155. Follow UT155 to Elmo and follow the signs for the 13-mile gravel road drive through the Desert Lake Waterfowl Reserve to the dinosaur quarry.

Once you arrive at the quarry you will find a small Visitors Center and a short walk to a metal building that overlays a quarry exhibit. There are a couple of self-guided walking trails to add to your educational experience. Picnic tables are available for your outdoor lunch. There is no camping or lodging at the quart site.

The Dinosaur Quarry is only open one weekend in April if you want to visit and that weekend is April 18-21 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. During the month of May the quarry will be open every Thursday,

Friday, and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. A $5 fee is charged for adults (16+), unless you have a National Park Pass.

Kids are free and what a fun place it is to take the kids.

PS: The eight other National Monuments in Utah are Cedar Breaks, Dinosaur, Grand Staircase, Escalante, Hovenweep, Natural Bridges, Bears Ears, Rainbow, and Timpanogos Cave.
