City manager Frank 1 said the same sanc- a,ii lJDs were sutuessiuujf two years ago at the peak of the drought. This year, city officials want to stay ahead of the game. "We're only asking for two days out of the week," Mills said, "That's pretty reasonable." Compliance to the city's request will not be monitored; moni-tored; there will be no enforcement or penalties for any illicit irrigation. "We hope we don't have to get to that point," Mills said. City officials expect the conservation to last through August, when the city's water supply and usage will be reevaluated. Those who have questions ques-tions regarding the water restrictions, may contact the Public Works shop at 785-2941. te fire closes furple Turtle A '1 S ."T Sy Robert Cunningham An early morning fire will ;se the Purple Turtle to jpthe doors closed during swberry Days, its biggest :sk of the year.

Clean-up should only take a few days. New machines and appliances have already been purchased. Most importantly, impor-tantly, the restaurant will need to prepare its popular homemade menu. "We make everything by hand and had to throw most of it out. We need to remake the onion rings, the sauces, everything," Evans said. Evans was unsure of the dollar amount of the damage, dam-age, but was more concerned with the tradition associated with his establishment, and especially its connection to Strawberry Days. "We need to be going as soon as we can. We have insurance, but it's just not the same. We want to take care of our customers," Evans said.

Correction The photo and credit for the article "Sixth annual Artist Quick Draw Show and Auction set for June 11" in the June 10 edition of the Pleasant Grove Review should have read that it was a courtesy photo showing Tom Holdman, a featured artist at this year's Quick Draw Art Show and Auction, creating a stained glass work. Annual Artist Quick Draw demonstrates art in action Sixth Photo by Linda Butler S's6th draws a portrait of model Jessica Chatterton at the Pleasant Grove Annual Artist Quick Draw Show and Auction. By Linda Butler The Pleasant Grove library was filled with artists and art-loving guests last Friday evening for the library's sixth annual annu-al Artist Quick Draw Show and Auction. This has come to be known as one of Pleasant Grove's unique cultural experiences. During the first hour, artists created -or completed - a work of art that would be auctioned later in the evening. Artists worked in a wide variety of styles and media - including pastels, oils, watercolor, wood, glass and clay. As they created, the artists chatted with guests, explaining their work, their technique and their inspira tion. Robert Oscarson commented com-mented that he had to travel trav-el to Australia to see the pastoral barn scene which he was painting. Potters Andy Watson and Dennis Zupan shared words of inspiration and encouragement encour-agement with the many children who were fascinated fascinat-ed with their creation of pottery. A small pot collapsed on Watson's wheel; he removed it and quipped, "If you make a mistake, oh well. You just try again." Then he continued, contin-ued, creating a perfect pot. It was a special treat to watch Tom Holdman meticulously metic-ulously assemble his stained glass window; Peter Myer draws the beautiful young girl who peacefully modeled, and Robert Oscar-son, Oscar-son, and J. Kirk Richards paint. The fluidity of motion as each of the artists worked was truly an evening of "art in action." Live background music brought a special air of magic to the evening. Mary Richards and her daughter Natalie performed beautiful flute and harp duets. Robert Oscarson commented com-mented that he found the music to be inspirational as he worked. The auction was a show in and of itself. The patter between Nicole Brusik from Fox 13 TV who served as Master of Ceremonies, and auctioneer Kevin Gallagher made for a See ARTIST on Page 8 Um,7T WV ""WD VEHICLE '04 CHEVY SUBURBAN IS 4x4 I TOTALLY EQUIPPED V0RTTC V-8 - AT I M f AK yo,497 RUNNING BOARDS TRAILERING ALLOY WHEELS SALE r THRU TO CHOOSt TKOM T THIS PKtW PER MONTH 39 MUNIH LtAbt '04 CHEVY VENTURE VAN 8 PASSENGER 4-D00R DUAL AIR CONDITIONING CD PW PL ALLOY WHEELS SALE PRICE Si 7.997 r -4 K cTi'fTtax with 17KYFAB IFiSF FOR 39 MONTH TERM AT INDICAltU r"""" r.M J PER MONTH 39 MONTH LEASE TWO TO CUOOSt fUOM AT THIS PRlCtl c,!tiCl if 7- -Mr is I ""7 OfwvT trade' EQUITY 08 CASH DOWN PLUS TAX.
