The Peteetneet Arts Council held their eleventh annual quilt show from June 14th to 25th at the Peteeneet Museum and Cultural Arts Museum in Payson. It was a very successful show. There were about 75 entries of beautiful quilts, wall hangings, and other hand made items. Highlights of the show were the beautiful quilts of Sharon Wright, our

featured artist, and quilts dedicated to Cody Towse who recently gave his life for our country. The quilt show, classes and demonstrations were very well attended thanks to a very dedicated committee that was chaired by Marion McClellan. Other committee members were April Mazzolrni, Laralee Deschamps, Dona Brian, Pat Zeeman, Haley Dehart, Cindy Mecham, Dee Dehart, Margaret Cooper, Liz Laney, Katie Gardner, Annette Rawlingson, Lanay Brinkerhoff, Konda Luckau

and Amy Cloud. Winners in all categories

were announced at the conclusion of the show. The winners are picked by a popular vote of the people attending the show. We awarded 1 Best of Show award and 10 People’s Choice Awards and 5 Honorable Mention Awards.

We considered all who entered the show to be winners from the great comments and remarks of the show. It was well attended and considered our best show to date. We look

forward to hosting another show next year from June 20 to June 30, 2014. This and many other great events take place at the Peteetneet Museum and Cultural Arts Musium. Our next event in the art gallery will be a display of art by the Arts Council which consists of Donna Corno, President and Claudette Woods, Dona Brian, Dorothy Argyle, Neva Christensen, Doug Huff, Marian Wilson, Jennie Ruth Alvey, and Sandra Armstrong.

Marion McClellan and Konda Lukau who pieced and quilted this quilt won the best of show. This quilt consists of 3,888 1 inch squares. Upon close examination images from “Star Wars” are sewn in with glow in dark thread.

Frankie Cluff was drawn to do ceramics with her mother in 2005, until she passed away a few years later. Cluff had also enjoyed needlepoint for about 20 years, but due to various ailments she could no longer enjoy needlepoint about ten years ago. About two years ago Cluff decided to attend the oil painting class taught by Betsy Baird at the Springville Senior Citizens Center (801) 489-

8738. (Closed for the month of July)

Frankie loves painting at the Springville Senior Center, as the environment is safe for beginners and a peaceful place to be. The people are concerned about you as an individual. They care when you are gone and glad to have you back when you return. There is a great friendship that forms as we see each other every Monday between 1 and 4 pm.

Cluff has built a love for painting animals. She loves

the form and shape they take as the painting progresses and then eventually you see the “LIFE” enter them. Cluff enjoys that she can get up close to the work and see the fine detail, one creative brush stroke at a time. The wolves in the painting have been worked on for about 18 hours and she completed it on June 24th. Her next project is going to be a slot canyon with a boulder at the bottom and a mountain lion on it.

A quote she loves by Elder Uchtdorf, “Creation

brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty” (Oct. 2008 General Conference)

Frankie has lived throughout the western United States, but Springville is where she chose to call home. She loves the people that are here and enjoys the beautiful mountains. She plans to live the rest of her life here.

THE RIGHT OF REVOLUTION

PAGE 2 SERVE DAILY • www.ServeDaily.com August 2013

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

He has combined with oth-ers to subject us to a jurisdic-tion foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabit-ants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

For abolishing the free

System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, estab-lishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

For taking away our Char-ters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Govern-ment here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transport-ing large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with

circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Cap-tive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic

insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruc-tion of all ages, sexes and con-ditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Peti-tioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A

Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanim-ity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kin-dred to disavow these usurpa-tions, which, would inevita-bly interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acqui-esce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Repre-sentatives of the united States of America, in General Con-

gress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, sol-emnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Brit-ain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alli-ances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the pro-tection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Part 2 of 2Founding Fathers

This installment of Under-standing Liberty will focus on a seemingly little discussed principle enshrined within the Declaration of Independence: the right of revolution.

It seems that many Ameri-cans have either forgotten, ignored, or just don’t know about this principle. We hear plenty about those self evi-dent truths, the unalienable rights of mankind, which are of immense importance, but what about the Lockean/Sidnean principles of the social contract and the right of revolution when the true

purposes of government are abandoned? This seems to be a lesser discussed and under-stood principle of the Declara-tion. The principle of the right of revolution by the governed is simply this: the purpose of government, as our Lockean/Sidnean Founders understood it, is to protect and secure the rights of the people, and when government fails to achieve that purpose, and shows a clear design to invade those rights and oppress the people, then it is the right and duty of the people to overthrow and abolish that government and replace it with one that will achieve its true and rightful purpose.

To make a revolution jus-tified before the world and

before Heaven, the revolu-tionaries must first exhaust all other peaceful and recon-ciliatory means to bring the government back to its true purpose, and only when those means have failed and the tyr-anny continues on its evil path, then are the people justified to appeal to Heaven and to arms. Such is the story American Revolution as clearly seen in the Declaration. Indeed the American revolutionar-ies were highly influenced by the English Revolution of the 1640s and its execution of King Charles I, and from the Glorious Revolution of 1688. In both revolutions, the revolutionary Parliamentarians spelled out exactly why they were revolting and listed the

abuses of government that lead to the revolt.

Indeed the Declaration high-lights that Lockean principle of a “long train of abuses.” The long train of abuses of Charles I that the Parliamentarians listed for their abolishment of monarchy in England and their committing regicide numbered roughly 11. These can be read in the official charge against and sentencing of Charles 1. The long train of abuses Par-liament listed in justifying their revolution against King James II in 1688, listed in the 1689 Bill of Rights, num-bered no less than 14 abuses of power by King James II. The Declaration of Indepen-dence, written, voted upon, and upheld by men deeply

influenced by the history of 17th Century England, as well as by Algernon Sydney, John Locke, and John Trenchard and Joseph Gordon, enumer-ated no less than 29 abuses of power by King George III. Notice the similarities between the abuses listed in all three documents. All of President Obama’s abuses of power, in addition to the many abuses of George Bush and indeed all the presidents, their administra-tions, and all the congresses since the 1790s could easily outnumber those listed in the aforementioned documents and easily convince us that the time is ripe in America for a new revolution; a revolution in favor of the rights of the people and against the usurpa-

tions of tyrants who have will-fully or benevolently abused their power and invaded our rights and thus established precedents that have unhap-pily continued over time in our government. Of course, I do not call for a bloody and violent revolution. Such is a last resort. Luckily, we have built-in revolutionary mecha-nisms in our government for bloodless and peaceful revolu-tions: frequent elections, the constitutional amendment pro-cess, the judicial system, and the congressional system. Let’s use them to bring our govern-ment back to its rightful pur-pose and bounds!

If we are truly interested in fleeing Babylon and then building Zion, we need to thoroughly understand the similarities and differences between pride, which moves society towards Babylon, and humility, which leads us to Zion. Pondering Presi-dent Benson’s landmark talk, “Beware of Pride”, it becomes clear that both pride and humil-ity 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.

Pride Pits Us Against God We can’t keep the First

Great Commandment if we

are proud. Those who suffer with

pride discount or openly reject God and/or His wisdom, think-ing they know better how to run their lives.

President Benson, describ-ing 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 us and follow it. Or, do we 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?

Pride Pits Us Against Our Neighbor

We can’t 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 fellowman 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”.

President Benson described it this way:

“We are tempted daily to elevate ourselves above oth-ers and diminish them. (See Hel. 6:17; D&C 58:41.) The proud make every man their adversary by pitting their intel-lects, 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 com-parison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest.” (Mere Christianity, New York: Macmillan, 1952, pp. 109–10.)”

Humility brings equality

Thank you to everyone who has helped us reach the half way point in fund-raising!

There will be two activities in July to raise money for the playground.

A Bake Sale was held by the South Valley View LDS Ward. Friday, July 12th from 10:00 a.m until supplies are gone.

Throughout July there will be a push for 20 donations at $500! The donations can be made by individuals or busi-ness. If the project receives just 20 contributions of $500 the fund-raising goal will be

reached and a new playground can be installed. Anyone wish-ing to be part of this group on 20 can make their contribu-tions at the Salem City Offices.

We can make the Dream View Park Playground a real-ity for Salem’s Children by the end of the summer!

Have you been looking for a place to buy your precious metals, and we don’t mean a coin dealer? Investing Hawk, LLC can now purchase for you all the Gold, Silver and Copper you need direct from one of only few private mints in the country, and it’s right here in Utah County. They can supply them in one, half, quarter, or tenth ounce rounds, or one, ten, and one hundred ounce bars.

Why should you consider purchasing precious met-als? With the value of paper money dropping with every new dollar printed by the Fed-eral Reserve it makes sense to look at other options. As the world economies struggle to balance their budgets, more people have lost trust in tradi-tional investments like money

markets, government backed securities, stocks, and equities.

As the dollar continues to decline, inflation will rise which increases demand for precious metals worldwide. We know they have outlasted the test of time. For more than 5,000 years people have used precious metals as a major form of exchange. Regardless of political changes, financial ups and downs, and natural catastrophes, precious metals remain a safe hedge against inflation.

Why purchase precious metals now? In the decade of the 2000’s, gold has aver-aged a 50% increase EVERY year. Silver has shown similar increases. History continues to prove as inflation raises inves-tors benefit by purchasing pre-cious metals. Many financial advisors today recommend that a balanced mix in a person’s investment portfolio should consist of savings, equities,

stocks/bonds, AND precious metals.

It needs to be mentioned again. Precious metals will INCREASE in value, are MORE secure, and may become your means of pur-chase, barter or trade in the future. Are you prepared?

Why purchase from Invest-ing Hawk? You can trust Investing Hawk to provide the best, top quality, safe invest-ment for you whether you pur-chase Gold, Silver or Copper monthly through an ACH(for as little as $25 monthly), larger lump sum purchases, or com-memorative rounds. Contact Investing Hawk to discuss how you can purchase pro-tection, increase profitability, and hedge inflation. Just don’t wait long, prices will rise.

Poor Boys BBQ & Dawgs serves with style

I have some of the best peo-ple working for me. I often find myself stepping back and watching them do what they do best (taking care of our guests). On really busy shifts, it almost brings tears to see them in action, not needing direction, and taking care of the food and people in full swing.

One of the most rewarding things I have done is choos-ing to work with people who have disabilities. Right now

we have 3 employees that have Autism and/or Asperger’s disease. As you may know, people who are inflicted with either usually suffer from low-ered social and work skills. Being able to help them to obtain the confidence and skills in these areas has been a fun journey. I have definitely learned more from them than they have from me! I now see life in a broader perspective.

Unfortunately, having such great people does come at a cost. I find that good people are often involved in many

things, and often move on to bigger and better things. We have had people go on mis-sions, go to college and pur-sue their dream jobs. I guess having good people for a short period of time is much better than having bad people for a long period of time.

I am happy that we have a place that attracts good people. I’m sure we’ve not been able to hire all the good people that have come our way, but I am truly happy with the ones we have, and have had.

The Mounds Anomaly

I love anomalies don’t you? To save you having to look up anomaly let me just help you out with a definition as it applies to archaeology. It’s when someone finds something like an ancient cave that seems to contain Egyptian style artifacts in North America.

The main character in “The Mounds Anomaly” is an eccentric, sarcastic, middle-aged archaeology professor named Mathilda (Matt) Howard. She’s exactly like Indiana Jones – except for a few major differences. He’s good-looking and dashing and well, she’s not. They both share a devotion to ancient ruins and artifacts but while Indy travels to exotic international locations, Matt goes to farms, sheds and gullies in the USA. Dr. Jones never gets injured and saves the lives of his cohorts. Dr. Howard breaks her arm falling off a thirty-foot cliff in Illinois, and her ragged

incision on a snake bite victim to do a suck and spit almost kills a girl.

Provo author Phyllis Gunderson has written 26 chapters of a fictional story with 26 author’s notes at the end. It’s a great way to separate fact and fiction without slowing down the plot, unless you are like me and become more intrigued by the facts and references.

In the fictional story, Matt Howard discovers that the Smithsonian Institute suppressed and even destroyed evidence from mounds found in North America. The conspiracy apparently continues despite thousands of artifacts collected from the mounds. Huh.

I confess that I spent some time on the internet after I finished the book to check the facts. I came across this reference to a famous Smithsonian annual report: “Cyrus Thomas, the Bureau’s appointed head of the Division of Mound Exploration, eventually published his conclusions on the origins of

the mounds in the Bureau’s Annual Report of 1894. It is considered to be the last word in the controversy over the Mound builders’ identities. After Thomas’ publication, scholars generally accepted that varying cultures of prehistoric indigenous peoples, Native Americans, were the Mound builders.”

Were the mound builders Native Americans or an earlier culture which had arrived on boats from the east? I’m more curious now about ancient American history which I suspect is exactly what the author intended.

BooklookDEBBIE BALZOTTI

Phyllis Gunderson writes fact-

based fiction involving unsolved mysteries and off-beat archaeology…no romance, no teen-age angst, no dystopian landscapes. Her novels are set in the real world, which is scary

enough. Other books by Gunderson are “The Jaguar Prophecies,” “The Lights of Mahonri Moriancumer,” and “Wrinkled Missionaries.”

“The Mounds Anomaly” comes out in time to coordinate with a new TV series, “America Unearthed,” a program examining evidence of ancient world civilizations in North America.

The Folkfest Story - Words From around the World

Do you or your family enjoy experiences with other cul-tures? Do you wish you had time or money to travel and see the world, eat exotic foods, be entertained in ways that you now only see in movies or on YouTube? Would you love for culture to come to your very home and be a part of your life? Then your opportunity is here!

On 28 July, 2013 Folkdanc-ers of all ages from Korea, Chile, Lithuania, Taiwan, South Africa, Netherlands and Martinique will be traveling to Springville, Utah to perform at the Springville World Folk-fest. These guests need host families to stay with while they are here and you could be the lucky one!

Some of the past Folkfest guests took the time to share their side of the Folkfest story.

Here is what they had to say:My time at folk Fest was

interesting. I learned some amazing life lessons and his-torical facts. Meeting all the different countries and dance groups was so much fun. the festival itself was so much fun and very organized. You guys made each country feel unique without making you feel different and singled out. We felt like we were part of your family. Your family was very welcoming and we felt as though we were accepted asap. - Elizabeth from Canada

I felt in love for the first time for being there. - Arina from Indonesia

It is very difficult for us to say good bye. It says that the silent is more eloquent than the words. Your charm, your kind-ness, your love and your hos-

pitality win our hearts. Always we will remember you. I hope that someday you can go to Cali, Colombia. There you will have our homes and they will be your homes. - Diego from Colombia

I think one of the greatest and most interesting aspects of spending time with you and your family was experienc-ing your culture and religion. Being born into a family with an atheist view, I rarely was exposed to religion, however after have spending time I accepted a new appreciation for the variety of religions with in an ever growing society.

Also, it was amazing to experience such heart warm-ing and hospitable families and individuals. All the families welcomed us with open arms made us feel at home. It was very heartbreaking to drive away from everyone know-

ing the bond we had created. My time in Utah, to this day is something still talked about by all the dance girls! A moment that I am sure we will all trea-sure. - Amelia from Canada

If you have an interest in opening your home and heart to amazing performers like these for just one week, please contact Folkfest Hous-ing Director Trudy Peck at [email protected] or 801-885-6709 or Assistant Housing Director Lori Smith at 801-404-4802.

Please consider this an opportunity ‘pay forward’ for all that comes with living in this great country that our forefathers built for us. Share your culture, make lifelong friends and experience cul-ture in a way you can never duplicate. Host for Folkfest. It will change your life! Don’t miss out, call now.

Big Bones BBQ serves various kinds of mouth-watering meats.

We’ve branched out a bit since last year to see what other tasty morsels are offered in south Utah County. This year I’ve reviewed Amber Family Restaurant and Big Bones BBQ in Spanish Fork, Poor Boys BBQ and Dawgs in Payson, Leslie’s Family Tree Restaurant in Santaquin and Timberwolf Grill in Hobble Creek Canyon.

The Amber Family Restau-rant is akin to Cracker Bar-rel fare but feels a bit more down home, as if mom herself was overseeing things in the kitchen. From my review:

“The country fried steak is our most popular item,” said Cassidy Barney, server. She also said the skillets are ordered a lot, along with their homemade pies.

I started in on the country fried steak with a knife to cut the first piece but was happy to find it was fork tender. It was the most tender, tasti-est I’ve ever had. Amy Smith proclaimed it “melt-in-your-mouth.”

Manager Jackie March-bank’s favorite item easily became ours – the Monte Cristo grilled sandwich: ham, turkey, Swiss and American cheese served on egg dipped Texas toast. To look at it is a pleasure. To bite into it is divine. It came with a bowl of strawberries in sauce that,

drizzled on the sandwich, is mind blowing.

“It’s a heaping, steaming pile of deliciousness,” Andrea said. We happily stole bites of her incredible sandwich.

Trying to find good bar-becue in Utah could be like searching for Sasquatch on the Nebo Loop. Thankfully, it wasn’t that hard. Both bar-becue places I reviewed had delectable, tender meat. Poor Boys of Payson holds a place in my heart for their home-made sauces that complement their meats:

Poor Boys cashes in on great sauces. Owner Zach Voorhees has created five: mustard, homestyle, spicy, special and Poor Boy. Each is distinct and when you find your favorite, hang on.

Server Zach Lundberg gave us a couple of typical favorite pairings:

“Homestyle or mustard with brisket; Poor Boy or mustard with the ribs,” he said.

The pulled pork paired well with every sauce, according to Amy Leah Nelson Smith.

“This is not your standard barbecue. There’s a variety of tangy flavors here,” she said. “The sauces are addictive.”

The well-seasoned, just-right-cooked meat could stand on its own but because the sauces are so good, try them – your mouth will thank you for a smorgasbord of flavors.

Spanish Fork’s Big Bones BBQ has an assortment of deli-cious meats and the brisket is pretty darn close to what we had in Texas:

Riley Nelson loves brisket and is pretty particular about how it is supposed to look and taste.

“The thick end is full of fat,” Riley said. That’s a mark of excellence in his book. “And the smokeline is well pene-trated – it has maintained its moisture.” If you are a brisket fanatic, you’ll know these are huge pluses in brisket world. If you aren’t, well, just accept it.

Leslie’s Family Tree Res-taurant is worth the drive, especially for scones!

These are not your run-of-the-mill puny scones. They are massive. Our server Cory Broadhead brought four out in a wheel barrow. Just kidding. But really, one scone could have fed the four of us – four looked like end pillows on your sofa. Not kidding.

There are so many descrip-tive words rolling around in my head I just have to get them all out: soft, warm, puffy, colos-sal, heavenly, addictive, eye-popping, memorable. There. I feel better. And you will too when you take my word for it and go get one. Or four.

The Timberwolf Grill at Hobble Creek Golf Course is a hidden treasure and the bonus is the beautiful drive there.

We ordered … an eye-pop-ping salad called Mango Berry Blast.

“We didn’t have salads our first year,” Charlie explained. “But the ladies who golf wanted salads. My wife loves the salads at Zupas so that got the wheels turning in my head.”

The Mango Berry Blast was a blast of color, flavor and variety.

“This tastes so fresh,” said Janis Haymond, Springville resident. “The chicken is fresh - it hasn’t been sitting around. They’ve also used every kind of lettuce there is and look at all this fruit – there must be four whole strawberries here!”

Skip fast food, get your taste buds ready and go unearth some new taste treats this summer – you won’t be dis-appointed!

Keep progressing by readingIt’s July and summer’s

in full swing--no need to think about essays or math homework, right? Or...read-ing? Perhaps summer is a vacation from school, but it shouldn’t be a vacation from reading. A librarian at the Springville Public Library says that “reading is the key to success in school, and to success in life.”

Why is reading so impor-tant? Well, aside from the fact that you can learn a lot from reading, our librarian friend tells us that “Studies show that if children don’t read in the summer, they will be three months behind in their read-ing level by the time school starts in the fall. This effective is accumulative, so by the end of 6th grade, they will be two grades behind their peers who [read through the summer].”

Nowadays, though, there are a lot of reluctant read-ers, kids who would rather

play a video game than pick up a book, especially during the summer. Our librarian friend had a couple sugges-tions. “Find out what they love, and let them read about that topic...there are so many great non-fiction books out there today. Graphic novels (or comic books), are another great way to get reluctant readers reading. [Also], librarians can usually give great recommendations for reluctant readers because they see what other reluctant read-ers are liking.”

Helping someone find what kind of books they love is eas-ier than you might think. At the Springville Library, there are summer reading programs offered for all ages. “We have separate reading programs for children, teens, and adults that anyone can sign up for. As they read, they will receive free prizes, and have an opportunity to be entered into

drawings to earn prizes such as an iPod, a Kindle, books, movie tickets, headphones, and many other prizes.

“We also have entertain-ing and educational programs each week, where we are introducing new books and topics to the children that will help them to stay excited about reading and learning through the summer. There is a weekly baby lap time, 2-7 yr old programs, and 8-12 yr old programs, as well as a monthly teen night.”

And all this to encourage reading! Says our librarian friend, “Springville Library’s vision statement is: trans-forming lives through a world of knowledge, discovery and imagination. This is exactly why I think reading is impor-tant, because it does have the power to transform lives.”

So go ahead and relax this summer--but don’t forget to read!

Life’s Journey

“The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. Its a time to remember our Independence. I am so thankful for all of the people that have served and continue to serve our country and who have fought for our freedom. I like that we can celebrate the fourth of July and remember the importance of this special Holiday.”

-Aubrie Hansen

“I am grateful for those that have fought for our free-dom. The fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays because its a time for us to celebrate our freedom by being with family and friends. I love the parades and fireworks, they remind me of the sacrifices others have made for us. I hope everybody keeps the soldiers in their thoughts and prayers and remembers those that have died for our freedom.”

-Heidi Hansen

On the morning of the Fourth of July a good friend called and invited the editor of the paper to breakfast. They decided to go to breakfast at Magleby’s and had a wonderful meal.

The meal consisted of all you can eat fruits, bacon, eggs, mini pastries, and end-less french toast with in-house syrup. Deli-cious orange juice was also chosen.

After the meal they enjoyed a fun walk that also consisted of a game of tag and playing in the splash pad by the city office building.

Below you will find a couple of thoughts from some patrons at Magleby’s and their thoughts of what the Fourth of July means to them.

Have you ever wondered what genealogists mean by primary, secondary, original or derived records? Some of these records are much more valuable to your research than others.

Primary records are cre-ated at or near the time that the event occurred by some-one directly involved in the event. Birth records, marriage certificates, death certificates, baptismal and blessing certifi-cates, bible records and jour-nal entries are examples of these. Birth records are usually recorded by a parent or a medi-cal caregiver such as a mid-wife or physician within a few days of birth. Marriage license applications are recorded by law before the ceremony while marriage certificates are com-pleted the day of the wedding and recorded by the presiding authority within a few days. Death records are signed and recorded by either the medical attendant or the next of kin at the time of death. Religious records are recorded by the celebrant within a few days of the event. Bible records are primary if the entries are contemporary with the events recorded. Look to see if the publication date of the bible is before the entries; if it is later than the entries then you

know that it is not a primary source. Journal entries record-ing events that the writer was involved in can be considered primary sources.

Secondary records are those records which were recorded later than the event or by a person who was not involved in the event. Death certificates are secondary records for the date of birth but primary for the date of death. Delayed birth records of persons who no longer have living people as witnesses of their birth are another example. Even records recorded by the individual involved can be considered secondary if they are recorded many years later.

Original records are records in their pristine form or an exact copy made by pho-tographic or digital means. These records can contain both primary and second-ary information. Many death certificates are filled out by relatives or caretakers of the deceased who have no direct knowledge of their birth date, birth place or parents.

Examples of derived records include transcriptions of origi-nal records, abstracts, and the notes of researchers from original records. One must try to view the original record if at all possible because of the likelihood of corruption in the derived records from mis-interpretation of handwriting, typos, and not understanding the language of the original record.

Who says Superheroes need hair? Certainly not this little guy! Caleb Terry, age 4, is showing everyone in his community and everyone who

hears his story what true cour-age is all about.

On December 8, 2012 Caleb’s family got that phone call that no parent wants to hear, the doctor saying, “I’m sorry but it looks like Leuke-mia.” When just days before,

he was a regular, active 3 ½ year old little boy. Now they were faced with the knowledge that their little boy was very sick and had been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Caleb’s parents; Mike and Sara Terry of San-taquin, describe those first 24 hours after his diagnosis. “We were just completely numb. It was taking every bit of strength that we had to just continue to breathe in and out.” On December 10 Caleb began his long journey to get healthy again. They began his treatments that would last the next 3 ½ years. The first nine months would be weekly vis-its to Primary Children’s for chemotherapy.

As soon as people began to hear of Caleb’s story they wanted to help. Family and friends started putting together fund raisers to help the Terry family deal with the medical costs of Caleb’s treatment. “Our local convenience store, Fast Trax in Santaquin started by putting a donation jar at the counter.” Sara says. “They are like our family now, always asking about Caleb whenever we stop by.” Then things just started to grow from there. Through social media, like Facebook Caleb’s story has

reached as far away as Austra-lia. Mike and Sara both agree, there are no words to describe the support they have received.

Now the Orchard Days Committee for Santaquin city has chosen Caleb as the Chil-dren’s Parade Grand Marshal on July 29. “He is courageous, a fighter, and has handled all of this like a true hero. We invite all participants as possible to dress as Superheroes for the parade.”

Caleb’s parents say they have somehow found a way to see beyond the dark and dif-ficult and are looking ahead to the light in the future.

They would love to have you be a part of Caleb’s Hero Squad and join them at the fund raisers they have planned for Caleb. July 13th Hot Hula/Zumba 9am @ Merit Acad-emy in Springville.

Homemade Remedies

I have a friend that works out in the hot sun everyday so he makes sure that he drinks lots and lots of water. The prob-lem is, because he is hot and because he drinks lots of water, he doesn’t feel like eating a lot and that can cause problems, like loose bowels – or diarrhea. I know, unpleasant subject, but real life. The good thing is that he doesn’t need to go running to the medicine cabi-net for relief. Instead, he can head for the fridge and make himself a sandwich. Yep, that’s right, a sandwich, but more specifically a blackberry jam (without seeds) sandwich and it will take care of his immedi-ate problem.

This is an old time remedy that really works, I have tried it first hand and so has my family and they love it. Not only that, but blackberry jam tastes so much better than any over-the-counter remedies that I have ever tried.

The more I talk to people the more I realize that we need some of these simple, yet effective, homemade rem-edies. Instead of running to the store and paying a lot of money for something that may cause side effects, you could just go to your spice cabinet instead. Now, I’m not an “all or nothing” person. I am a big believer in doctors and pre-scription medications. I also think that holistic medicine (acupuncture and massage therapy) have their place. You, as an individual, need to learn what is best for your body and what is the least of these things you can use before heading

for the “hard stuff” (i.e. OTC which is over-the-counter or prescriptions). Please take what I am saying in context. I am not a medical professional, just a mom that has found what works for her family – like blackberry jam.

When my son was three years old, he got a really sore throat on a Sunday. I didn’t have any throat lozenges (he would have just chewed them up and not sucked on them anyway) or throat spray. I looked in one of my books and it suggested that I make sage tea. Take ¼ tsp. rubbed sage and steep it in 1 cup of hot water. Strain, sweeten with honey (for older children and adults) or sugar (for younger children). This does two things: 1) the sage numbs the throat (who knew) and 2) it helps your child to not get dehydrated because it hurts to swallow. This would also be good to use after a tonsil-lectomy so the patient doesn’t get dehydrated (a really bad thing). My son is now 15 years old and he still loves sage tea.

If you are coughing a lot, but you have already had too much cough medicine, suck on Jolly RanchersTM instead. It is not always the medicine that is fixing the problem. Sometimes it is the saliva that is sooth-ing your throat instead. My mother, who has a mechanical cough from chronic bronchitis, got this tip from her doctor.

Ginger. Ginger is a wonder-ful thing, especially when your stomach is queasy or you are nauseous. If you will either sip on some ginger ale or nibble on some gingersnaps or candied ginger, your nauseousness will go away. This is good when you are flying, pregnant or tak-ing medications that make you nauseous. Also, peppermint

tea is good for a sick tummyI used to have horrendous

sinus headaches, sinus pres-sure and a stuffy nose all the time. My doctor, who was a good doctor, would give me prescription drugs that would help dry me up and would seem to alleviate the problem, but only for awhile. It was a vicious cycle.

One day I was reading in Prevention Magazine © and it was describing me, or at least my symptoms. It said that by using decongestants that I was not allowing the body to flush out the yucky bacte-ria and that I would just dry them up and they would come back to haunt me again and again. Their solution was to eat spicy food with hot peppers in it so that it would loosen up the yucky stuff in my nose and sinuses and encourage my nose to run and get everything out. It worked like a charm. I have not had a sinus infection, or sinus congestion problems, for more than 17 years now.

The science behind it is the capsaicin, found in hot pep-pers, which is a colorless, pungent, crystalline compound that is a strong irritant to skin and mucous membranes. It encourages the nose and eyes to water more, and with more fluid, it helps to break up the “stuff” in your nose and allows it to flush bad stuff out. Also drinking hot drinks and hot soups will help (it’s the warmth and steam that helps). I also add cayenne pepper to my soups. Whenever I feel that I might be congested I just bring out the cayenne pepper or the TabascoTM sauce and use it liberally on my food. A little TabascoTM sauce in my tomato juice works every time.

Being Content is healthy

When we ask this ques-tion of ourselves our natural response is to start listing all of the things we know it is not – excess weight on our body which causes harm, lack of energy, pain – either stuck or moving all around, inability to sleep, variations and struggles with moods…the list goes on and on. Health is none of the above, and so much more. Health is not only a state of feeling well, minus all of the above symptoms, it is also a state of harmony, bal-ance, equanimity, vitality, joy, and peace. To be healthy is to be whole, complete, fulfilled, and content. All aspects of the self – body/mind/soul - are bal-anced.

So take a moment and evalu-ate where you are with your health. Do you have any of the above symptoms? Are there others as well that limit you, contract you, or cause you to not BE the definition of health

as stated above? My goal in presenting these ideas to you is not to depress you or lead you to surrendering to the appar-ent hopelessness of it all, but it is to actually empower you to reclaim your body, mind, and soul back to your innate and natural birthright of well-ness & joy! We think in this culture that it’s natural for the body to decline as we age, that it’s normal to gain weight, get aches and pains, reduce our activity, and surrender to the dying process! Isn’t that just a little true?! Actually, it is not.

I am here to argue that this is not our birthright! I beg you to not be lured into complacency and cultural “normalcy” that it is okay to surrender to the decline of wellness. Because, in doing this, we are causing harm, not only to ourselves, but to all those in our circle of influence who were meant to be gifted by our unique tal-ents and offerings. Wouldn’t you agree that the better we feel, the more we serve, the more we love, and the more we create and contribute to our families and our communities?

So let’s begin the journey back to health! Reclaim your birthright. Put in the effort it takes. Learn what you can about wellness and what it takes to balance your body/mind/soul system. I support and encourage a holistic approach, taking consciously into consideration the wellness of not only your body but also your mind and your spiritual life – whatever that may be. When we approach wellness from a holistic standpoint, we allow for a more whole expres-sion of ourselves to emerge, which then blesses those all around us and increases our own joy.

May we strive for per-fect health, knowing in all moments of our life, our value, our worth, and our divinity. Let us walk, breath to breath, and live in such a way that this knowledge directs and leads our every waking thought and action. If we can do this, then perfect health will be our reward and our blessing to all.

A: He was going through a stage.

Q: Why did the actor fall through the floor?

Q: What do dogs snack on while watching TV?

A: Pup-corn.

Cartoons aren’t the only shows made for kids. Some game shows are too. On Hole in the Wall , for example, kids must twist their bodies into the same shape as the cutout on the wall or fall into a pool of water.

Some game shows for kids test their brains, while others test their physical abilities. Often there are consequences for those who fail, such getting a pie in the face or sliding into a puddle of goo.

Score is often kept on the game shows, and the kid with the most points is the winner. Prizes may include cash, gifts and even trips.

The other day I was working in t h e y a r d , watering the roses. I

watered and watered and no matter how much of the life-giving juice I offered, those roses looked exactly the same. The same flowers in fragrant bloom and the same finished blossoms with shriveled petals. So, how do I know that the water I was giving would help at all? Later I worked in the garden with my son and as we pulled weed after weed I commented how I hope that he and his brother recognized how good the sense of accomplishment felt when they did a great job. “It’s not that I don’t feel accomplishment,” he said, “But that I know the weeds will just be right back next week. It just doesn’t seem to do any good! What’s the point?” The point is, sometimes the good you do is not visible right away. Sometimes not for a good long time. But you just have to have faith that what you are doing will show results sometime. This is especially true with parenting.

Sometimes parents wonder if their parenting is effective because they can’t see any change for a very long time. You talk and talk until your face is blue and children still don’t do what you tell them to do unless you are right there watching them do it. They don’t remember to clear the table unless Mom reminds them, their clothes pile on the floor instead of in the hamper or in the drawer, and they only floss when you remember to tell them to. It gets kind of old. But, fear not! One day you will pass by the bathroom door and see your son flossing his teeth when you didn’t tell him. Another day you will turn around and the table will be cleaned off and you weren’t the one to remind. Some day that pile of clothes will

embarrass her when her friends come over so she will clean it up without help from you. Some day these things will happen. We have to remember that parenting is not a short term project. A little at a time, and constant daily care, like watering the roses and weeding the garden, brings about the changes we want.

So how do we have faith that teaching kids will eventually pay off? How do we develop the patience to wait that long? We look for success cases around us in our lives. There is a boy down the street who is nearly grown and you see him taking the garbage out, holding the door for his mom and taking the heavy stuff to carry so she doesn’t have to. Those things don’t just happen by themselves, a par-ent taught them. A parent like you!

When you wonder if what you are doing is effective, think about what you want to have happen a few years down the road. Do you want children who are kind and complimentary? Then compliment them! Do you want your children to support each other and want to be around? Then support them in what they do and tell them you love being around them. Do you want children who value cleanliness but will be flexible when time with other people is at stake? Then take a minute to set aside washing the dishes and throw a frisbee for a minute. But don’t forget to get back to the dishes. Maybe invite your son to help you finish up. See what happens.

When you get tired of doing the same things over and over and seeing little results, take a deep breath, remind yourself that a family is a construction zone where lives are being built and it all takes time. Choose to be patient. Don’t lose hope. Eventually you will see the fruition of your hard work. Love and laugh and work and play and everything will turn out alright someday.

Mike Larsen, Principal at Sierra Bonita was recognized for Excellence in Educational Leadership through the Uni-versity Council for Education Administration by the BYU McKay School of Education faculty for his excellent ability to successfully create change and make improvements.

BYU’s faculty, Denis Poulsen, Shannon Dulaney, and Pamela Hallam, recog-nized Mr. Larsen at the Nebo School District Board meeting.

They stated, “Mike takes the job of training future princi-pals very seriously because he knows how important hav-ing an effective principal is on ensuring student learning. We are lucky to have such a bright, talented person helping interns.”

Mr. Larsen mentors interns by sharing professional knowl-edge that is inherent in the role of the principal. He openly shares his vast knowledge and exemplary administra-tive skills.

Nebo Elementary Director, Julie Warren, said, “Mike is a phenomenal mentor for the up

and coming administrators. He is cutting edge in his knowl-edge and practice; so when people have the opportunity to watch him, they learn best practices.”

Mr. Larsen used the Profes-sional Learning Community (PLCs) techniques he learned through the Center for the Improvement of Teacher Edu-cation and Schooling (CITES) partnership with BYU. Mr. Larsen has since successfully opened the new Sierra Bonita. He continues to use collabora-tion and PLCs.

Congratulations on “Letting it Shine”.

Well, Serve Daily continues strong even after we failed to purchase an “E” for $250 in the prior issue. Haha.

We thank those that love to read the paper. We appreciate your feedback via phone calls, letters, and e-mail.

To the gentleman that called about the missing “E” in “Veterans”, we ask you to call again and claim your $20 gift card to Big Bones BBQ. We understand how life can at times be rough and things just don’t always go right.

To the anonymous person that sent the articles with typos circled, we appreciate

your help and ask you to send another letter with return address and the same articles, and we will mail you a $20 gift card to Big Bones BBQ.

Please note that our paper doesn’t follow the standard AP guidelines for articles. This is a local paper and most of the articles are written by locals. Therefore, articles will be written at each individuals ability in writing and checked for spelling and some grammar.

Since the last issue we updated our program and installed spell check. Woo hoo!

We are striving to provide a valuable community resource in print and online. We print 10,000 paper copies and provide an E-issue online

at issuu.com. Search “Serve Daily” and follow our stack.

The E-Version provides clickable links to advertisers sites, photo galleries, and soon additional pages.

This issue we also changed our flag on the front page. We moved the QR code, deleted “The Project with a Purpose”, the list of cities, and our logo. We hope you like the new flag as it promotes unity, industry, and growth.

We believe that as we become more unified, work together, promote each other, and lift each other up that our industrious fortitude will buzz with action and much growth

Merit Knights at the Dixie State Basketball Camp

I spent this past week with my family in St. George, Utah at the Dixie College Team Bas-ketball Camp. I followed Merit Academy’s basketball team around from game to game, cheering on the team and sup-porting my oldest son. Coach Joel Martinez placed our 2A basketball team in with the state’s 4A and 5A teams to help them gain some good experi-ence. We ended up winning six games and losing four through-out the course of the week. I was impressed! However, in my opinion, the highlight of the camp happened on a hot afternoon when our team actu-ally lost a ball game but gained something more important--a lesson that will last a life time. Let me explain.

We were playing a 4A school

and the game was physical and very close. Our team was up by about 10 points and this upset the coach from the other team. He got in the ref’s faces and started throwing a tantrum (stomping and turning red in the face) saying we weren’t playing fair. (The bottom line was he was mad because we were ahead.) I was so embar-rassed for him! The refs how-ever, began to side with him and eventually decided to eject a key player from our team who had committed a foul. I watched Coach Martinez as the refs told him what they were going to do. This would be the perfect time for him to start yelling and throwing his own fit. Instead, he calmly said, “I don’t agree with your call” and walked back to the bench. And that was it. He coached the team through the rest of the game, remaining

even-tempered and composed. After the game (which we

lost by 10 points), he talked to the team about showing dig-nity. It’s a lesson he teaches often as he demands that his boys respect calls made by refs no matter what. He told them that it wasn’t easy for him to be calm during that game, but he chose to not fight, yell, or throw a fit. He told them that in life, they need to learn to control their emotions when challenges came their way.

I walked away from that game with a smile on my face. I was thankful my son was able to see the way his coach behaved when things didn’t go his way. I hope he can take that lesson to heart and and understand how important it is to remain dignified when challenges come his way in the game of life.
