Woodland Park School Stages Operetta

- Salute to Stephen Foster

The pupils and. staff of*
Woodland ‘Park School paid
tribute to Stephen Foster,
America’s beloved composer, as
they ‘saluted our southern
neighbor in its Bi-Centennial
Year. A colorful opefetta de-
picted the America of pre-Civil
War times in songs, action of a
minstrel show and through the
memoirs of Stephen Foster,
portrayed by Brad Makortoff,

Virtually every pupil in the
school was involved in well-
known songs such as “Ring de
Banjo” performed by black-face
singers. Darcy Dawson wowed
audiences for three perform-

ances with his rendition of
“Beautiful Dreamer” and Mat-
thew Fike impressed the crowd
with “Jeanie with the Light
Brown Hair,”

Kenny Romney and Carla.
Wright made a colorful pair in
the “Nelly Bly” number while
Kelly Gleboff touched the capa-

oe crowds with “Old Black

”" Other. fine soloists were
Heather Peterson and Sandy
McDonald. —

Kootenay Library System’

Society members expressed
shock and disappointment at
.the news, as a guarantee of
funding had been received in
+July 1976, and the request for
referendum had been put to the
regional districts involved on
the basis of the guaarantee.

While it was recognized
that under the new govern-
ment, all programs would be

reviewed, approval of — this
program was expected.

The three regional dis-
tricts of the proposed library
system area, East Kootenay,
Central Kootenay and Koote-
nay Boundary, had agreed to
pul the proposal to referendum
on June'19,

In mid-April, the library
system society was informed ‘

that ‘no major. expenditures .

could be incurred until after

Shop workers voted a substan-
tial donation to the Silver Birch
School,

The illness of Mrs. H. Bate,
former treasurer for the shop,
was noted with regret, and a
token of loving concern will be

the
of the scheduled referendum,
and plans were made for a vote
in November,

"The society still has hopes
for establishment of a Kootenay
library system, since the li-
brary development commission
considers the financial hold as. a
“postponement” and a “tem-
porary setback”, and has
pledged to obtain the financial
guarantee for establishment.
and operation of the proposed
system.

In the meantime, the plan
will be held in abeyance until
the financial position is assured.
Ifthere is a substantial delay in
obtaining the guarantee, the
budgets for the proposal will
most likely have to be updated
