Those who attend the Folkfest find that it appeals to young and old. Little ones can be seen dancing on the grass to the music as each group performs. And the older folks are clapping and tapping their feet. Music and dance can be understood and enjoyed by everyone even though they might not speak the. language. Folkfest Continued from page 1 his sixth year attending the Folkfest, Folk-fest, said this year seems equal to past years, even though there areen't as many countries as some of the past years and a few of the dances seem to be a little slower in his estimation. ' A truly enjoyable part being a participant in the Folkfest comes from volunteering as a host fami-ly. fami-ly. Roger Durst and his wife, Christine, who is on the board of directors for the first time this year, said hosting is a "blast." The Dursts were disappointed this year because the country they were signed up to host did I not get their visas, but that did 'not stop Roger from relating the experiences from the past when they were a host family. . "By the end of the festival it just becomes a total party for all involved," Roger said. He said by the time the street dance happens (tonight, Wednesday) everyone is just having a great time learning and enjoying each other's culture. ) , , According to the program, hosting- is an opportunity to create cre-ate deep, lasting friendships and learn more about another culture. ; Host families donate their time and resources to meet the needs of the dancers and musicians musi-cians during what some have called an exhausting but amazingly amazing-ly rewarding week. "Once you do it, you're hooked," said Beverly Cluff of Springville. "It's worth all the time you put into it because, you're paid back one-hundredfold by their appreciation." "You get to love tham like they were your own family," said Laura Coleman of Springville. "It is such a wonderful experience for our family... you get to learn so much about another culture.

Nebo Superintendent re-appointed to job July 15, 1998 - The Springville Herald - Page Three by Roxanna Johnson With very little fanfare, Superintendent Su-perintendent Denis Poulsen was reappointed by Nebo. School District's board to his fifth, two-year two-year term in last week's board meeting. But it seems that board members along with many of Nebo's staff couldn't be happier. In talking with several of Mr. Poulsen's peers, adjectives like hard working, integrity, efficient and honest, came up often. "Denis is a man with high integrity. He has strong feelings of right and wrong, and he won't cross the line" stated Board President Presi-dent Kay Westwood. "He is always projecting and thinking ahead and trying to solve problems prob-lems before they become problems" prob-lems" she added. Fellow board member Collin Allen echoed Westwood's thoughts saying" I never have to wonder if Poulsen is telling how - it is or how we want to hear it. Mr. Allen explained that he's known Poulsen for almost 20 years. "He creates a positive work atmosphere" he continued. "People respect him. . .Mr Poulsen has an overall grasp on education, educa-tion, he sees the big picture. But along with the big picture, he's also aware of the details." Mr. Poulsen's secretary Marie Newitt, added "he is absolutely wonderful to work for." A short history of Mr. Poulsen Pou-lsen indicates that he's been honing these traits so admired by his peers for decades. Mr. Poulsen was born in Logan Utah, but grew up on a southern Idaho farm. After high school, he attended both Utah State and Brigham Young Universities Uni-versities earning both a B.S. and Masters Degree in education. Serving in his area of schooled expertise, Mr. Poulsen has been in public education for the past 31 years. He has been employed by both the Nebo and Provo districts. Besides teaching for 11 years and serving in administrative positions for 20, Mr. Poulsen has also served in a variety of professional profes-sional organizations during his career. Some of these include being a member of the State Advisory Committee on Teacher Education, the State Risk Management Man-agement Committee, and President Presi-dent of the Bonneville Uniserv and Provo Education Association. Mr. Poulsen has also received several forms of special educational educa-tional training, along with a number of awards which include the prestigious Outstanding Administrator Ad-ministrator Award given by the Utah High School Activities Administrators Association. In his eight years as the Nebo District Dis-trict Superintendent, Mr. Poulsen has been directly involved with the construction and managing of new schools, along with remodels andor additions to 20 of the district's existing schools. But even in the light of his many awards and extensive education, edu-cation, it seems that Mr. Poulsen's Poul-sen's bottom line is the students he serves. "I've worked with Denis a long time" says Nebo's Public Relations Director Frances Lar-sen. Lar-sen. "(And) it doesn't matter what we're talking about-those kids are first On his mind." Mr. Poulsen qualifies for office by taking the constitutional oath of office. The board sets Mr. Poulsen's compensation and opted to do so at a later time.
