Show ''.'! i ti Pleasant Grove Review New Utah! - Wednesday, June 13, 2001 - Page 8 ' ' i i Concert in the Park Photo by Karli Poyfair The Pleasant Grove Orchestra performed last Sunday at the first Concert in the Park of the season. The orchestra performed eight pieces including American in Paris Suite, Lord of the Dance and Hawaii Five-O. Over 1 00 patrons attend QuickDraw fundraiser at library By Julie A. Bellon The Pleasant Grove City Library held it's third annual annu-al QuickDraw Show and Auction on June 8. Sixteen artists were on hand to make a work of art in less than an hour, generously donating their time and talent tal-ent to the Pleasant Grove library. Several well-known artists such as Liz Lemon Swindle, Bruce Brainard, Batu Jagchid as well as many others donated as well as created artwork, wanting to do their best for the library. They not only provided a peek into their creative process, but also believe in the cause of raising rais-ing money for a new library. Many who attended the auction were not aware of the need for a new library. Posters displayed that evening gave the three major reasons that the Pleasant Grove library is not currently adequate for the community's needs. One of the most important impor-tant reasons is that the building does not currently meet requirements of the American Disabilities Act. The upstairs is not accessible accessi-ble to handicapped and the restrooms are impossible for anyone with a disability to reach from the inside of the building. The second reason is that the current building does not have adequate functioning function-ing space. For instance, areas are limited for vital tasks such as book repair and processing new books. The loft area was unfortunately unfortu-nately not built to support the weight of books and essentially cannot be used. Even the circulation desk did not originally accommodate accommo-date electrical outlets for computers, but were added later. The third reason is the long term growth of the community and its changing chang-ing needs. The current collection col-lection is so heavily used that on an average day 25 percent of the 51,000 item collection is checked out. Average circulation rate for local libraries is between 3 and 10 percent, but the Pleasant Grove library generally gen-erally has 40 percent circulation circu-lation during a given month. There are just over 21,000 card holders registered regis-tered at the library. The QuickDraw event began with a walkthrough gallery and then the public was able to watch the artists create. After one hour, the artwork was then auctioned off, led by auctioneer auc-tioneer Joe Metro. The attendance was approximately 110 people and many were pleased that Pleasant Grove Library offers such a cultural cultur-al event to the citizens.

Box 654 American Fork, UT 84003 - Advertisement - Allreds Approved to Sell NASA Recognized Bedding Technology Allreds in Pleasant Grove has received approval as an authorized dealer for Tempur-Pedic Swedish sleep systems. The new sleep technology breakthrough break-through presents what the company calls an "innovative system which adapts to your body and allows comfortable, natural natu-ral and healthy positions during sleep." Steve Allred pointed out that most of the world sleeps on innerspring mattresses mattress-es which have virtually been unchanged for more than 70 years. He said the new Tempur-Pedic system is proven to help relieve and prevent back pains, aching joints, circulatory problems, prob-lems, and frequent headaches or neck problems. Information from Allreds said Tempur-Pedic is used in hospitals, nursing nurs-ing homes and sleep clinics worldwide, and offers pressure-relieving properties -reducing the need to toss and turn. The technology of the structure allows the cells to shift under pressure and reorganize their position to conform to the contours of the individual body. The Tempur-Pedic is also self-ventilating and allows air to flow freely through the mattress, making the temperature tem-perature remain constant and neutral. Each bed is offered in all sizes, including includ-ing extra longs, in a zippered washable terry cover that includes the Medicott Treatment for dust mite protection. Allred said Tempur-Pedic is advertised nationally with a 90-day comfort guarantee, guaran-tee, a 20-year limited warranty and can be viewed on video and felt in person at Allreds. Their support bed and neck pillows pil-lows are also available, as are bicycle seat cushions, office chairs, mattress overlavs and adjustable beds.

A 1 The Pleasant Grove city council was given the same presentation last week that credit rating agencies in New York received several months ago. Jason Burningham, the city's financial consultant, explained to the council at the work session meeting that by going to New York and making the presentation presenta-tion about the city, the city was able to get a better rating rat-ing for bonding projects. "Before the city was rated BAA. Now the city is A2," Burningham said. "We were successful in upgrading" upgrad-ing" . He said the upgrade in rating means a quarter of a percent difference in interest inter-est rates for the bonds. With the city's four and a half million dollar bond, that meant a savings of $200,000. Some of the positive points about Pleasant Grove that Burningham presented to the rating agencies were, property value and sales tax growth, anticipated future growth, and it is the third largest city in Utah County. He also told the agencies about the new interchange and what was planned for that area of the city. He said the area would be a master planned community, have 2200 acres of mixed use have a campus-like atrnos' phere and the interchansm would be the second busiest interchange in Tjtah County. u Richard Swan, Owner the Oriental Rug Washing company Authentic hand washing of Oriental, Persian and Native American rugs 375-4348 82 E. 300 S.

The QuickDraw was started in 1999 by the Friends of the Library with the intent to generate funds for a new library as well as "showcasing the rich variety vari-ety of artistic talent which exist sin our community." They also included a raffle table and a demonstration of block printing in addition to the auction. Tristi Pinkston, the president pres-ident of the Friends of the Library, commented: "I would encourage anyone who has not yet had the chance to join us to mark us on your calenders for June of 2002. I'm grateful for the dedication of the artists who have given us of their time and talent to be with us and to generously donate their work. "They could easily have sold those pieces for thousands thou-sands of dollars, and yet . they gave them to us. I appreciate their kindness to us in this regard and most of them have expressed their willingness to come again. We are eagerly looking look-ing forward to next year." Weight Loss Puzzles Doctors ATLANTA, GA Doctors were surprised when two separate studies stud-ies found that a natural dietary supplement sup-plement could help cause significant weight loss. Although not conclusive, both studies stud-ies found that patients receiving the formula called Bio-Rex 3000, lost more than twice as much weight as those in a control group on the same fat reduced diet. Neither group was instructed to decrease the amount of food they ate or to increase their exercise levels. An article published in the American Journal of Clinical Clini-cal Nutrition says that you don't have to decrease the amount of food you eat to lose weight, provided that you limit the fat According to a spokesperson for Phillips Gulf Corporation, the exclusive exclu-sive North American distributor of Bio-Rex 3000, the company is considering con-sidering additional studies in order to get federal approval to make pharmaceutical phar-maceutical claims. Currently, weight loss claims for the Bio-Rex 3000 supplement are limited. However, with the requisite approval, the company com-pany could say that Bio-Rex 3000 decreases sugar cravings, increases metabolism and interferes with the body's ability to produce excess fat. Bio-Rex 3000 is currently available as a dietary supplement and plan in pharmacies and nutrition stores or by calling 1-800-729-8446 or visit our websiteatwww.phillipsgulf.com.
