Itou'te come long uay, Baby! p Eitetyn Crane has hit the big h576,S00,000 UH (in seconds that is!) HAPPl B-DAlt! LoJe The Crane Family The Best Family The President of Iceland, Olafur Ragnar Grimsson, and his wife, Gudrun Katrin Pobergsd-ottir, Pobergsd-ottir, were in Springville Sunday evening. They were guests of honor at a dinner at the Springville Spring-ville Museum of Art. The dinner was attended by some Springville citizens but mostly by members of the Icelandic Icelan-dic community in Spanish Fork. Spanish Fork became the first Icelandic community in the country coun-try when Icelandic LDS converts settled there, and many residents are descendants of those early Mormon pioneers from Iceland. The Icelandic Association in Spanish Fork had invited the President to their 100th anniversary anniver-sary in August, but that couldn't be arranged, and so he came to participate in the 24th of July celebration. Grimsson is the first head of state to visit Spanish Fork. Springville Mayor Delora Bertelsen welcomed President Grimsson and his party to Springville Spring-ville and to the Art Museum. She presented him with a book of the History of Springville, and he was given a history of Springville sculptor Cyrus Dallin. The Spanish Span-ish Fork Icelandic Association presented the president with volumes of the history of those icelanders that settled mere. President Grimsson gave the Icelandic Association a five-volume, just printed edition of the first complete "English Translation Transla-tion of the Sagas of Icelanders." . It includes 40 sagas and 49 shorter short-er tales. The sagas of Icelanders deal not only with Iceland but with the whole known Viking world. Centuries before the Renaissance, Icelandic saga writers became the historians of all the Nordic nations na-tions and recorded, in the language lan-guage spoken by the Vikings themselves, the wide-reaching process of fermentation and the major events which took place at that time. The first European voyages to Greenland and Vinland (North America), like the settlement of Iceland itself, represent phases in the strong wave of Viking expansion expan-sion which took place more than 1,000 years ago and is recorded in the sagas. President Grimsson expressed his desire for a celebration of pioneering to extend back 1,000 years to the discovery of the North American continent by Leif Erikson. He compared this planned celebration to die one he had witnessed here in Utah last week of the 150 years since the Mormon pioneers arrived. Grimsson said he discursed his ideas with President Clinton earlier in the week when they met in Washington. He also talked about this at a fireside in Spanish Fork Sunday evening. While in Utah, Grimsson and his entourage have met with government officials and leaders a H v, - t 1 I I I : L S a r Springville Mayor Delora Bertelsen, left, and Representative J.
