CAREER IN RETROSPECT Mitchell said the show is “a lot of retrospect with a face- it.” By some “mundane magic,” Mitchell said, she has found a niche in each of her’ musical ns: from the early, folk diye when she was a “confessional poet” to the funky, jazz-rock flavor on Miles Of Aisles and the blat- ant jazz orientation of Min- gus, written using melodies by jazz great Charlie Mingus. Nothing is static, she said. ‘The personal changes she has experienced are reflected in everything she does musi- cally,as well as in her paint- ing — a talent that has found: expression on many of her album covers. During a news conference, she said her recent leaning toward more rock 'n' roll was due to time spent in the Car- ibbean' frequenting discos arid dancing for the first time in nearly 20 years. “E-began to appreciate mu- sic as:& person who goes (to iscos);\to dance to it,” she . INFLUENCED BY POLICE One of her influences has been the British band The Police. Their music was “sim- ple .yet imaginative and I started thinking in terms of a tighter rhythm section. They were definitely a catalyst.” Mitchell admitted she is | concerned about record sales thing she enjoys,‘ not’ just jumping on thé latest Wand- wagon. i “Tve been waiting, wait- ing, hoping to like something enough that I'll absorb it and belong to.it, honestly belong to is,” she explained. “I have begun to hear some things I like that make me say, ‘Ooh,’ just like when I heard (Bob) Dylan and said, ‘Wow! You can actually sing poetry, the American lyricis - beginning to grow up.’ ” Mitchell said she doesn’t know when she will quit making music. “I look to the day when I pull back from one thing todo another. Maybe I won't make records anymore, I'll write short stories. Your Guide To Good Times in the area. DELUXE DAILY LUNCHEON SMORG 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. $5.95. Saled Bar only: $3.95.

A more favorable view of the movie came from the Los Angeles Times, which said it was “hard-driving entertain- ment” and “looks to be a summer smash.” Staying Alive picks up Tony Manero as a struggling dancer who has trouble mak- ing it out of his flea bag hotel onto anyone's chorus line. But he's put in the chorus of a new Broadway show, Satan's Alley. When the male lead falters, Manero leaps in for his big break. Pow wow set - for Sunday Kootenay Indians from several bands in the Koot- enay Region and the United States will present authentic performances of native sing- ing, drumming and dancing Sunday from 12 to 2 p.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. at Fort Steele Historic Park. Four, drumming groups will be.featiired including.the Chief Cliff ‘Singers’ from’ Al- mo, Montana, the Chief Ray- mond Abraham singers and dancers from Bonner’s Ferry, the Yaqan Nu Kiy Dancers from Creston, and the Chief Isadore Junior Singers from the St. Mary’s Band near Cranbrook. The first Kootenay Pow Wow viewed primarily by non-native people was also held at Fort Steele Park in February, 1982. More than 700 people attended the event held in the Wild Horse and best yet. Many more costumes have been made, dances prepared, and more research conducted since the last event. There will also be lots more room for both dancers and viewers because the event will take place out- side, on the lawn around the bandstand. Each dance contains im- portant meanings relevant to the Kootenay culture. You will see the Friendship or Circle Dance where the pub- vlic-are: asked-to: participate, the Chicken Dance, the Blan- ket Dance, and the Owl Dance. The Owl Dance is like a one-step waltz. Paul Stanley, professional actor and MC at the last Fort Steele performance, will again be present to interpret each piece so that non- natives may understand and. appreciate the fascinating heritage on display. The Kootenay Indians will be selling hand-made mocas- sins, beaded necklaces, ear- rings, hair decorations and other clothing. You'll be able to taste freshly made ban- nock, beef jerky and stew. One or two teepees will be erected to house displays on current Kootenay Indian pro- jects in the area.
