A brief history of Art City . PublishingSpringville Herald is published here. That of Gary , Price, Patterson and Vernon will be in the next issues of this news- paper. The Springville Herald was purchased by Harrison Conover in 1940 for $1,000 from Ed . Scripps, the owner of the Provo . . Daily Herald. Scripps was reti- cent to sell, but Conover threat-. threat-. ened to start his own paper and compete with the newspaper in that day's business climate, so Scripps decided to sell. Conover had been editor and manager of the Springville Herald for six years before this. The Springville paper itself . was first started in 1891 as the Springville Independent. The " name was changed when the Provo Daily Herald bought the - paper sometime in the 1920s. Harrison Conover started job . . printing in 1933 under the name of Conover Printing. His office was located in the old Springville -Banking Company building (now Central Bank). In 1940, half of the newspaper's present building at 161 S. Main was constructed; Conover moved into the new building and incorporated the entire business into Art City Publishing. Harrison's son, Martin Conover, Con-over, who now runs the business, said he believes Harrison was the first to use the term "Art City." "We were the first 'Art City' anything," Martin Conover said. At the time of the move, Harrison Conover bought a Linotype Lino-type machine, or hot lead type casting machine, as well as a newspaper press, an automatic job press, a large paper cutter and some binding equipment. Around 1946, the building was expanded to its present size and Harrison purchased property just north and east of the building. In about 1947, the business purchased the Mt. Pleasant Pyramid newspaper and shortly afterward began publishing the Eureka Reporter, a newspaper that had been out of print for several years following the death of its publisher. Harrison was asked to restart the Eureka paper, which he agreed to do if residents could guarantee him a subscriber base of 200. Art City Publishing continues to publish these newspapers news-papers to this day; the Eureka Reporter is the smallest weekly newspaper in Utah. The major thrust of the business busi-ness during the 1950s was publishing pub-lishing high school yearbooks. Art City Publishing printed yearbooks year-books for schools throughout the West for many years. In the late 1960's, Martin Conover became publisher of the newspaper and manager of the business as Harrison was elected Utah County Assessor, a position he held for 16 years. Harrison died in 1983. Martin had worked for Art City Publishing all his life starting start-ing as a sweeper when he was very young. He graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor's degree in business management and a minor in journalism. While at BYU, he met Pat Olsen and they were married in 1961. In the early 1970s, the method of publishing the newspaper changed to the offset method and the company purchased its first typesetting computer and its first offset job presses. Throughout the '70s. '80s and '90s, the busi- s - ' ' F yv . Li Mayor Fritz Boyer, left, installed members of the 2002 Chamber of Commerce Board Saturday Satur-day evening at the chamber banquet.

In 1997, the business purchased a four-color offset press, which significantly cut down printing time. Three years ago, the company com-pany purchased a sophisticated printer called an image setter which allows the business to make its own color separations. - Over the years, the company , has performed many different kinds of printing, producing many history books (family, city and regional) and other types of books. Art City Publishing has become proficient in all kinds of commercial printing.

And I really think it's going to be "The Place to Visit" during the Olympics. They have such wide streets and the sidewalks are all so clean and neat. But wait until I tell you what I discovered. Did you know there are some rare birds living in this city? No, I don't mean the Mormons, I'm talking about two rare birds, probably endangered, I found them quite by accident. You see, I go walking down to Temple Square whenever I visit, and the other night just as I was crossing State and South Temple, I clearly heard the call of the female, followed by the call of the male. Now the female has a chirp sort of call, but you can tell she is small cause she only chirps for a few seconds. Her call is something some-thing like this "GoOh GoOh GoOh GoOh." I timed her and she stopped chirping before I could get more than three steps from the curb crossing State Street at South Temple. Then from the fourth step on I could hear her mate calling back "Do-n'tGo "Do-n'tGo Don'tGo Don'tGo Don't-Go." Don't-Go." So after I crossed the street I stood there and listened to these two calling back and forth. I tried to spot them but they were well hidden. I don't know where they nest or what they eat. I'm sure the motorists don't hear them or at least they seem to totally ignore them. The other night I stood waiting wait-ing for her to chirp and just as she started with her "GoOh" I saw this Olympic sprinter tear off across the street No. he didn't make it either, but he did get to City Publishing; Walter Jex, J&S Designing; John Dixon, US West Dex; David Anthony, Workforce Services; Deborah Lamb, Central Bank; Roger and Margy Layton, Read Leaf Bookstore; Chad Weight, Steiners Flowers; John Peterson, Redmond Salt; and Keri.

The Conovers live in Springville. the center before she stopped and was nearly hit as he coi inued on across. I've not heard them at every intersection so I think they are somewhat picky. I can tell you that one female bird at the middle of South Temple going over to ZCMI is a larger bird because she chirps as much as the male, maybe more. I heard her all the way across the street. Now if we could just capture that one female and breed her with the male at the same location then turn their offspring loose at the other intersections inter-sections we'd really have a beautiful beau-tiful sound to cross the street with, what with her "GoOh GoOh GoOh" lasting so long you can still hear her after you're safely on the other sidewalk. So just a little travel tip. If you take your family and friends to Salt Lake City for the Olympics Olym-pics and find yourselves at Temple Tem-ple Square, then search for the crossings with the birds that chirp the most because they are the safest places to cross the street. That's my view from the town square today. Thanks for coming along.

Norman Schwarzkopf hi Library Corner by Ellen "No Finish Line" is an autobiography autobi-ography by an outstanding female athlete, Maria Runyan, who has broken many records in the sports' spo-rts' world and qualified for the 2000 U.S. Olympic team. Her story documents her courageous attitude and strivings to overcome many trials. At age 32, she has had enough experiences experi-ences and outcomes that she can generously offer advice to others who face outstanding challenges. She is the first to admit that some of her choices were incorrect and there may be some decisions that you will disagree with. She used each experience and trial as a stepping-stone to new strengths and continued development. Maria is legally blind. Her accomplishments are a challenge to anyone, disabled or not. You will laugh and cry with her as she struggles for not just independence, indepen-dence, but control and accomplishment accom-plishment in her life. Her desire to be treated like others and her hesitancy of revealing her blind-' blind-' ness often conflicted, especially since she did not appear to be blind. Maria excelled, not just in her sports, but also in her education, despite bureaucratic red tape that would trip up the best of us. Many of her endeavors can be applied to ourselves, though our lives may be far different from Maria's. Learning how she persevered, perse-vered, and strengthened her abilities and self-confidence is great reading for young and old. iUI oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o k MDNDAY I TUESDAY Of Chips U up to 44 oz.
