Babbitt SPRINGVILLE HERALD T Plans are still being made for a new city building build-ing in Springville, but some city workers have already been provided with new offices. ; Springville's Recreation Department and Buildings and Grounds Department have been relocated in the Art Shop, located at 443. S. 200 East. The south half of the building was renovated renovat-ed to accommodate the offices of-fices and the city has been improving the building's parking lot and landscaping. landscap-ing. Y v Total cost for the project, proj-ect, including the parking park-ing lot and landscaping, is $230,000, with $15,000 of the cost expected to be received through a grant. The north half of the Art Shop will continue to be .used for art classes and other arts-related uses. The city's Recreation Department was located in a small space at Springville Spring-ville High School, but had to move when the school rieedeb; the space for other purposes, said Springville City Administrator Troy Fitzgerald. The Buildings and Grounds Department was located at a city compound com-pound located at 900 E. 400 South, but the area is fenced and was not very accessible to the public. The city considered placing plac-ing the departments in the same building as the city pool, Fitzgerald said, but rejected that idea for various reasons, including inadequate heating and cooling systems and uncertainty un-certainty about how long that building will be avail able for use. "It allowed us a better, more efficient configuration configu-ration in the Art Shop," Fitzgerald said. Renovating the Art Shop was more cost efficient than constructing a new building, he said, with costs at approximately $50 to $60 a square foot compared com-pared with $200 to $300 for a new facility. Now known as the Community Com-munity Services Building, the newly renovated area will house cemetery services, ser-vices, including the sale of cemetery plots; sign-ups for recreation programs; pavilion rentals, including canyon parks; and facility rentals. The new location has provided a more open, accessible ac-cessible area for the public, Fitzgerald said. The location loca-tion includes five offices, two secretary spaces and a conference room. "It's going great. We're actually getting a lot of comments from people about how much easier it is to find," said Alex Ro-yla'nce, Ro-yla'nce, Springville City director of buildings and grounds. Residents no longer lon-ger have to fight through the high school's traffic to reach the recreation office, and the building offers a more private atmosphere for those purchasing burial buri-al plots, a service that was being offered in the City Center at 50 S. Main, he said. Until approximately one year ago, the Art Shop was owned by Nebo School District Dis-trict and leased to the city for a nominal fee. The city gave one acre of property See Art Shop page 3 , i.iii inm-nm-iiipi jjiuhim , .. . i i n i i ,l m . iui i i .1 i 1 1 .1. .11 1 J " r . , . . - - ...

Fortunately, drugs of old had many barriers to first-time use. These included includ-ed the difficulty to obtain illicit drugs, well-known risks of popular drugs, and the challenge of hiding the paraphernalia and signs associated as-sociated with drug use. But things have changed -dramatically. Come educate yourself. Learn about what's really happening in the world your kids face and learn about how you can talk with and support your kids before they find trouble.

Bring your kids. In today's world, many of the most popular - and lethal - drugs of abuse that can be found at the local convenience store or in a parent's medicine cabinet, cabi-net, are viewed by peers as safe and risk-free, and can be taken right in front of unsuspecting parents or professionals without any visible signs of use. Despite their innocent looking appearance, many of today's most popular drugs are equivalent to heroin, crack and speed, posing a far greater threat to today's youth than anything any-thing we have seen before. be-fore.
