Dance Company sets spring concert tonight and tomorrow The dance company at American Fork High School will present its spring concert con-cert "Unspoken Language" tonight and tomorrow night, April 1 and 2, at 7 p.m. in the Bchool'B auditorium. Of the concert, instructor Stephanie Brucker, said, "Dance transcends language and nationalities to enhance communication between cultures. cul-tures. Our dancers have been studying styles of dance from many cultures throughout the world. Styles of dance in Africa, Egypt, Samoa and Latin America are a few of the cultures that will be demonstrated." As part of the preparation for this concert, the dance company has spent time with David Ssejinja from Bira, Africa who talked about the conditions in his village. He has founded a school in his village of Bira, and is supporting the school through his foundation, The Sseninja Children's Foundation. Founda-tion. The foundation is dedicated dedicat-ed to bringing hope back to Africa's HTV7AIDS infected and war-torn children. "Many do not have the basic necessities of life," Ssejinja said. "Education remains the key to many of Africa's problems. prob-lems. Schools, however, are in need of basic materials from the building to the books." From their association with Ssejinja, the dance company com-pany officers decided to turn its spring concert into a benefit ben-efit concert for this worthy organization in Africa. A portion por-tion of the proceeds from the concert will obtain materials to educate the children of Bira Uganda. "He will be at the concert to meet our patrons and express appreciation appreci-ation for their support of the arts and education in his country," added Brucker. Most of the dance department depart-ment at AFHS is "adopting" David and his kids. The Ballroom Ball-room Dance Team will host a fund raiser daring its concert in May, where the proceeds will be donated to David's cause. Guest appearances include AFHS Cavettes, Mountain Ridge Dance Company, Com-pany, The Dance Conservatory Conservato-ry and UVSC Multicultural Center. Brucker encourages community com-munity members to join the dance company in experiencing experienc-ing the 6how. "It will be an innovative, creative and unique experience in dance," she concluded.

Mayor Ted Barratt explained that members of the City Council had expressed some concerns to him. "The council expressed to me some things," he eaid. "I determined they wanted an update on the policies and procedures manual, training train-ing manual for each department depart-ment and all training in the city." "They wanted to know how efficiently the city was operating department by department," Barratt continued. con-tinued. "They wanted to do some tweaking on the services serv-ices we give to the residents, resi-dents, developers and others. oth-ers. "It looked to me that what we were looking for was someone that .could write and put together the policies and procedures manual and put a training manual together." Discussions with city staff members showed Barratt Bar-ratt that he already had employees who could accomplish these tasks. "I knew we had some individuals inside the city that had some expertise," he said. Barratt asked Marsh and Jensen to apply and accepted the applications. "I believe that both of them can do and will do an excellent job for the city," he said. Marsh said her first priority pri-ority would be to replace herself as assistant planner and to make sure the planning plan-ning department has the tools and resources it needs to work with developers and come up with "lots of good things for the city." "We are growing so much there is too much work for one planner " she said. She wants to get an update of the General Plan completed and to have the city use technology more to complete its goals. Her goals also include working with individuals doing economic eco-nomic development. "I would like to see cooperation coop-eration with commercial development and planning," said Marsh. "I also want to work on developing a mission mis-sion statement for the city." She summed up her motivation. "The whole reason I wanted further education was to be in a position of responsibility and to make decisions that will help benefit ben-efit the community as a whole," she said. "I want to make a difference and provide pro-vide leadership help for the citizens and employees doing their day to day work. I want to see the programs run so that American Fork can be known for progress and providing quality services serv-ices to its citizens. "I am very excited and honored to be given the chance to do some good things." Alto ooiiuc Mi wwwifaaukatpviDKputiiLouB Uu'fJi Walking Tall IPC 13) Sot 6 Tburt.
