It's a 100th birthday party and everyone is invited.

The Alpine Tabernacle at 110 E. Main St. in American Fork was opened in 1914. In celebration of its centennial, there will be tours of the building Oct. 11, and a fireside and program featuring former LDS Relief Society General President Julie B. Beck on Oct. 12.

The Alpine Tabernacle is the last tabernacle remaining in Utah County.

The Alpine Stake was organized Jan. 13, 1901, and had been part of the Utah Stake, which took in the entire valley. The Alpine Stake included the north part of Utah County, covering what now is Lindon to Cedar Valley.

All presidents of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from Joseph F. Smith to Thomas S. Monson have spoken at the tabernacle's pulpit, either as presidents or apostles.

"Ten of the men who have served as presidents of the church spoke here," said Allen C. Christensen, who wrote a history of the tabernacle.

"The sacrifices that went into the building were rather remarkable."

Sacrifices included not only the monetary contributions, but the volunteer labor. The cost of the building was $81,254. The four wards in American Fork were asked to contribute half of those costs.

In November 1914, there was an autumn festival to help finish paying for the building.

Christensen quoted a story from the American Fork Citizen, which told about the festival and put the monetary amounts into perspective.

SILVER CITY >> Syzygy Tile and Mule Creek Adobe, two Grant County manufacturers, are participating in the nationwide Manufacturing Day on Thursday. Both manufacturers are offering tours of their facilities for anyone who wants to get a glimpse of what their processes are like.

Jennifer Sinsabaugh, operations director for Manufacturing Extension Project, said 78 manufacturers are officially listed in Grant County. She said the five top manufacturing industries in the county are concrete, paving and asphalt manufacturers; commercial printing manufacturers; research and development and engineering service manufacturers; food product and bakery manufacturers; and furniture manufacturers. The businesses list themselves through Dunn and Bradstreet, so Sinsabaugh said there may additional manufacturers in Grant County who are not officially listed with the government.

Courtesy photo The 76-year-old machine Mule Creek Abode manufacturer Susie Jerome will demonstrate with on Thursday. This machine can make 6,000 to 8,000 adobe bricks a day.

The national effort was designed to showcase modern manufacturing and generate interest in engineering, design or production careers. According to a news release provided by Manufacturing Extension Project, about 30,000 New Mexicans are employed in the manufacturing sector.

Syzygy Tile employs about 20 people in downtown Silver City. Patrick Hoskins, showroom manager for Syzygy Tile, said the downtown business is getting involved in Manufacturing Day because they want to stress that their work is about employing people, not about automation.

"We're doing it by hand with employees, not big machinery," Hoskins said.

Hoskins will lead the tours, which will get started at 10 a.m. Thursday and continue each hour until 2 p.m. The tours will take about 40 minutes and workers will be making tiles as they usually do. Visitors will get a first-hand look at what really goes on behind the scenes at Syzygy Tile.

Firefighters work the scene of a fire Monday afternoon at 547 King Street that is partially occupied by Prohibition Charleston. Matthew Fortner/Staff

A fire that ignited inside a popular King Street restaurant Monday afternoon was knocked down by a sprinkler system firefighters say.

Firefighters responded to a reported fire at Prohibition at 547 King St. at 4:39 p.m. and confirmed that smoke was coming from inside the building, said Ryan Kunitzer, community educator for the Charleston Fire Department.

Kunitzer said the fire had activated a sprinkler head which prevented the fire from spreading. A fire extinguisher was also used from outside the building to help contain it, he said.

There were employees inside the building at the time but the business was closed and no one was hurt.

Firefighters from Charleston and the St. Andrews Fire Department responded, closing part of the street.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The restaurant was closed Tuesday. A staff member said they hoped to reopen Wednesday.

Fire inside Prohibition Monday knocked down by sprinkler system

Tacoma, Wash.

When fire broke out at the Annobee apartments in Tacoma on Tuesday morning, a sprinkler system quickly doused the flames. But that wasnt enough to save a woman who died in the apartment where the fire started.

Firefighters found the womans body on a search through the unit after arriving on scene around 11:00. Its sad, said Annobee resident Denise Palfrey.

Around 30 residents were evacuated after fire alarms sounded. Denise Crouch said she thought it was just another false alarm at first. After the alarm went off then we figured out what was going on, we saw black smoke, said Crouch.

Firefighters said it was fortunate the flames didn't spread because most of the residents are elderly and may have had trouble getting out of the building. The sprinkler system activated and contained that fire to the room of origin, said Tacoma Fire Department spokesman Joe Meinecke. Meinecke said investigators were working to determine the cause of the blaze, but early indications pointed to a cigarette in the dead womans apartment. Her name had not been released as of Tuesday evening.

Crouch said the womans death is a tragedy. Its sad, it really is, said Crouch. This is an elderly apartment and she couldnt help herself, and thats the sad part about it. She couldnt help herself get out.
