"It has increased a lot here," he said. What concerns Bernal is when someone "tags" an area (does graffiti) and then you see it crossed out before it has been painted over. "When it is crossed out it indicates gang-like activity activ-ity and it tells you there are two groups," he said. To some tagging and graffiti is fun, or sounds like fun.

Babbitt SPRINGVILLE HERALD The former city logo, now known as the city seal, was adopted by the Springville City Council on July 6, 1982. The logo shows a drawing of the north side of the Springville Museum of Art being colored by a large paintbrush. Surrounding the picture is a red circle reading "Art City" and "Springville, Utah." Former Springville City Recorder Re-corder Verl S. Dallin said before July 1982, the city didn't have a logo in use. Former Springville Mayor J. Brent Haymond said the logo featuring the museum was adopted during his tenure as mayor. Haymond said at the time, the idea was to create a logo that would represent the city while also serving as an image of Springville. Springville was known then as the Art City, "but nobody had really formalized formal-ized it into a document or into an image," Haymond said. The logo design, created by Springville artist Cal Jolley, was submitted as part of a contest con-test to create a new logo for the city. Jolley's design was one of about 18 designs that were submitted. sub-mitted. According to an article in the July 8, 1982, edition of the Springville Herald, Jolley's design was recommended to the council by a selection committee com-mittee headed by. Police Chief Leland Bowers and Springville Museum of Art Director Vern Swanson. "That (design) was by far and away the best one that depicted Springville," Haymond said. Jolley received a $100 award for winning the contest. '61055'0005 JA. .... f 0" 7 si- s-: Vino, , dtoipeSo.. oQ ,(!, m1 |
