Show 2 SPRINGVIUE HERALD Thursday, July 8, 2004 MMEMARY CO ElITORIAL : . . f u M rv I Don't miss the 2004 SpringviUe World FoUrfest I am a Folkfest f aa I love the SpringviUe World Folkfest. I was at the SpringviUe City Council meeting the night Karl and Rayma Alfred came to ask the city about starting a dance festival fes-tival in our community. The rest is history. It has been 19 years since the World Folkfest started. It began be-gan on the high school footbaU field, moved to the basebaU diamond dia-mond and f inaUy found a permanent home at the Arts Park on the stage there which was built for the dance event. The entire 19 years has been a huge volunteer effort on the part of many citizens who have staged the event, housed the visiting dancers and musicians and volunteered in so many other ways. It is a labor of love for a fine community event. If you are new to SpringviUe or Mapleton, and there are lots of you, you might not be acquainted with the World Folkfest. You need to be. This year, as every year, SpringviUe wiU welcome dancers and musicians from around the world to the city for the week-long week-long festival The visitors pay their own way to Utah, mostly at great personal sacrifice, and we invite them to stay in the homes of local families during the week. Host famiHes are asked to provide food, lodging and other kindnesses. They in turn form lasting friendships and learn about the traditions of their guests. It is a wonderful cultural exchange. If you would Hke to be a host family, it is easy. Just caU Ang-ie Ang-ie Workman, 489-3081, Teddy Anderson, 489-2726, or Debbie Balzotti, 489-7688. Being a host family will be something that your children will never forget. Host f amUies get free tickets to the festival and are invited to other festival events. The visiting dance groups bring authentic dances, authentic costumes and live music for their performances. Many of them do several dances from their native country, so each night's performance offers something different. You wiU not be bored by attending every night. Music and dance are a language everyone understands. The people who come to perform at the World Folkfest are NOT amateurs. Many of them have danced for years and years and have attended festivals in other parts of the world. We hope that aU citizens wiU enjoy an evening or more at the 2004 World Folkfest. Performances are exciting, and it is lots of fun to meet the dancers. Many of them bring souvenirs to sell, and there wiU be food booths where you can purchase your dinner or goodies. Come early and browse the booths. Performances start at 8 p.m, There are chairs avaUable, but you may bring your own lawn chairs or blankets. The festival starts Saturday, July 10, at the Spring Acres Arts Park, just north of SpringviUe High School. Follow the smaU red signs on 400 South. There are performances nightly except Sunday and Wednesday through July 17. And don't miss the FREE Street Dance Wednesday, July 14, in the Art Museum parking lot at 8 p.m. It is also lots of fun to watch and to participate in . The World Folkfest is a week of international friendship in addition to the performances. Don't miss it!

Why are steel prices rising? Editor As a former Geneva Steel employee em-ployee I was curious, recently, when my mechanic showed me an article stating steel prices would go up 43 this year. Are prices rising in part because Geneva's production is gone? I watched for more steel price information. In a June 27, 2003, commentary, "The Economist" magazine of England noted: "China's steel producers are developing de-veloping so fast that the country is likely soon to overtake Japan as the world largest importer of iron ore...China could turn itself from being a big importer into a net exporter of steel." Communist China is expected to consume 300 million tons of steel this year, and produces more steel than the U.S. Most large U.S. Steel mUls are gone, victims of U.S. trade and regulatory regula-tory poUcies. Today, mostly only mini-mUls that work off scrap steel exist in America.

WU-son WU-son Folklore Archives Founders Lecture on Tuesday, July 13, at 7 p.m. The lecture is one of several being hosted by BYU and presented pre-sented at the Harold B. Lee Library Li-brary Auditorium as part of the L. Tom Perry Special CoUec-tions' CoUec-tions' Folklore Field School in July. The lecture wiU be of interest to those curious about modern folklife and famUy history. "Folklore helps people identify identi-fy the positive traditions that make a famUy unique," says Kristi BeU, Folklore Archivist at BYU and coordinator of this year's field school. "Creating a famUy folklore archive wUl be of interest to those wanting to make famUy history come aUve." The lecture is one of several being presented during July. On July 15, Rich Remsberg, a na-tionaUy na-tionaUy known ethnographic photographer, wiU speak on "History and Traditions of Ethnographic and Documentary Photography." July 21, liana Harlow, a specialist at the American Folklife Center wiU lecture on "Giving a Voice to China has stepped up its purchase pur-chase of scrap steel, dragging up the price of scrap steel from $77 a ton in 2001 tq $300 a tone in February 2004. On February 5, "The Deseret Morning News" told how, since 1989, Geneva had spent over $645 miUion for plant and equipment equip-ment to modernize and comply with EPA regulations. Costly environmental en-vironmental regulations helped drive Geneva to bankruptcy and its plant off shore to China, at a bargain price. In Communist China the plant can pollute without EPA interference, inter-ference, employ thousands of Chinese, and make steel for Chinese Chi-nese industry. Why did our government gov-ernment force Geneva's closure, then aUow it sold off to Communist Commu-nist China, whUe many U.S. factories fac-tories are now unable to obtain the steel they need for production. produc-tion.

Harry Riley, COL. USA, Ret ' Crestview, FL Sorrow: Creative Responses to Death." BeU explains that folkore can be defined as things people make, do or say - a quote phrased by WiUiam A. Wilson, the founder BYU's Folklore Archives in the Lee Library. "Whether it is decorating a birthday cake, making a quilt, knocking on wood, telling stories sto-ries about our ancestors or attending at-tending a famUy reunion, folklore folk-lore swirls around us," Bell says. This year's field school has local lo-cal and international students in attendance to learn about folklore folk-lore and how to document it. Es-sam Es-sam el Gahib Mohamed, of the National Archives Documentation Documenta-tion field and Howyada Kamel, Head of Foreign Cultural Relations Rela-tions and International Conferences Confer-ences at the National Library and Archives of Egypt are two of the students. They have come to receive training so that they may establish a folklife center for Egypt. The students' work wiU be displayed in an exhibition and reception at the end of the three week school, on July 30 in the Lee Library. Plans for the new Utah Heritage Project wUl also be announced at that time. The lectures are open to the pubUc. For more information contact Kristi BeU at BYU, (801) 422-6041. Support your president! Editor As an ex-patriot and former inhabitant of Germantown, Tennessee, Ten-nessee, I have monitored the events in the after-math of 9112001 closely. That was undoubtedly un-doubtedly the turning-point and wake-up caU for America, as a nation, to respond to the terrorist terror-ist threats and attacks against U.S. interests as ONE UNDIVIDED UNDIVID-ED BODY. There's only one way to deal with those criminals who think they can get away with decapitating decapi-tating our beloved American brothers and sisters! CRUSH' EM... and that is exactly what President George W. Bush has SWORN to the American people, peo-ple, the day it happened. His administration ad-ministration wiU never rest until the thugs and foes are defeated and terminated! Don't mind the costs... President Presi-dent Bush and his government know their business! Not only has a key-sponsor of terrorism, Saddam Hussein, been removed from office, also an American-friendly government govern-ment has been placed in the new Iraq. Thus the mounting costs necessary nec-essary to fight terrorism and to protect our freedoms and to clear the way for a secure U.S.A., wiU not only have effect but even pay-off in the long run! To have friendly relationships with the second largest harbor-er harbor-er of the "black gold" means secure se-cure oil-revenues from Iraq mounting into triUions of profits for the next ten years for the American people! NOW THAT IS INGENIOUS!!! INGE-NIOUS!!! But it takes a special breed to pull that off. President Bush is the man who never trades off If not offense ... Why not defense Editor: Former President CUnton, his administration officials and other oth-er Democrats continue to say it wasn't feasible for them to use military force to go after bin Laden and al Qaeda, and lay out all the reasons why they couldn't could-n't go on the offense. (Personally, (Personal-ly, I feel it shows a lack of leadership lead-ership that Clinton didn't attempt at-tempt to educate America and take the bold steps necessary -but I digress). Clinton continues to put forward for-ward the premise that they took terror so seriously - and stUl tries to claim they did everything every-thing possible to protect the American people, yet insists they couldn't go on offense ... then why didn't they go on defense? de-fense? Why didn't they beef up our ports, our borders, our water supplies, our food supplies, update up-date and upgrade vaccines, and prepare first responders? Why didn't they secure the airhnes and airports instead of reworking rework-ing the 1996 Airline Security Commission report, eliminating or reducing many of their suggestions sug-gestions (and then realizing over $585,000 to the DNC shortly short-ly after that change)? Why didn't they insist the various var-ious inteUigence agencies share critical information with each other? Why didn't they work to integrate data bases to better track who was coming into our country and making sure visitors visi-tors left when their visas ran out? Why didn't they hire more Arab and Farci speaking agents to help decipher domestic and international communications? And on and on and on ... Had they begun working on any of these during the last administration, ad-ministration, this President and this Congress would not be forced to spend aU the bUlions and bilUons of doUars within a two-year period instead of amortizing it over the last Utah cherry production down Utah's 2004 tart cherry production produc-tion forecast is 23.0 million pounds, compared to 26.0 million pounds produced in 2003 and 3.0 miUion pounds in 2002. although production produc-tion is forecast to be down from 2003, favorable weather conditions have allowed for another good crop. Utah is forecasting sweet cherry production to be 1,700 tons, down 23 percent from 2003 but a significant signifi-cant increase over the 2002 crop of 400 tons. Poor pollination in Box Elder El-der County contributed to the de-crease de-crease in production from last year. r for whatever reason. Bush stands for integrity! With terrorists ter-rorists there can be no compromising compro-mising or bargaining. The terrorists could have fooled almost anyone, but not the American people under Bush, commander-in-chief of the mightiest Armed Forces in the world, elevating the spirit of a traumatized people after the attacks at-tacks on 911. Bush has raised more money to buUd up and (after 911) rebuild, re-build, the HOMELAND, SECURITY-APPARATUS and FREE-TRADE FREE-TRADE CONDITIONS than has any other President of The United Unit-ed States of America before him. Saddam would still be in power pow-er and with him his evil and cruel cru-el regime, were it not for President Presi-dent Bush's uncompromising and resolute defense of the United Unit-ed States. If you recaU President Bush's very comprehensive and, as it were, unifying State-of-the-Union speech addressing aU subjects sub-jects that concern the American people as one nation and, America's Amer-ica's friends and aUies as weU concerning security, education and economy. President George W. Bush has, Uke a visionary, foreseen the transition from the old economy econ-omy into the 21st century-economy referring to-global economy, econo-my, e-commerce, alternative energy en-ergy sources, etc. God bless America, and God bless this administration who has the guts to fight back and win. Support Your President - Support Sup-port President George W. Bush! Jens Leisenheimer Ijmuiden (Netherlands) decade! When you consider that our economy is rebounding at the rate it is - in light of all the 'catch up' we now need to do in order to secure the homeland and fight terror abroad - it's nothing short of a miracle we are doing as weU as we are. It's because of the stewardship and the leadership of this President! Personally I feel if they had brought the issue to the forefront fore-front for Americans to ponder years ago, we aU could have been the eyes and ears for our feUow citizens - so too would the terrorists be on alert that we were aware of them! Might September 11th have been prevented altogether? Might every inteUigence agency been looking harder and longer at those dots? Might the fUght school operator been absolutely determined to see that his thoughts about the pUots got to more people andor the right people? We'U never know, because the Clinton administration showed no leadership on the issue is-sue of terror - they were weak and simply reactionary, making excuse after excuse after excuse. ex-cuse.
