Office in a while, we can catch a program on CBC, but radio and TV programs are a poor sec- ond to listening to classical per- formers first-hand.’ It seems quite a few people who care about the classics make the trek occasionally to Nelson’s Capitol Theatre. Others belong to the Trail and District perfor- mance seriés held in the Trail auditorium which is now an adjunct to Selkirk College in Trail. There, ticket holders are treated to outstanding shows by traveling groups featuring every- thing from Shakespearean ballet to Russian singers. Only occasionally will a group stop in Castlegar. They have heard that this is a hockey town. or perhaps a country and western town. They have heard we have no place with-acoustics good enough for the finer aspects of classical performance. The Stanley Humphries activity room is much better than it once was, but it is hardly a theatre.

The Kokanee Spring Quartet brings together four artists of immense musical talent. In other circumstances, all of these per- formers would be playing for major symphonies. We will indeed be listening to world-class artists. In addition to the superb music, Quartet members usually give a running commentary on the pieces being performed. Castlegar's Don Mitchell, a The Brilliant Cultural: Centre is but the i ty at large has only occasionally made use of its magnificence. I remember attending a remark- able Arts Council-sponsored per- formance by the Alberta Ballet Company which was held there Perhaps because Castlegar may never be able to afford and arts centre, some attempt to develop a tong-term partnership with the USCC to use its facilities might be inorder. The fact is the Brilliant Cul- tural Centre might be too large for classical performances. The Centre can seat 800 people com- fortably, while a classical con cert might only attract 100 to 200 people. It’s important that those who love the classics and better music have a chance to attend performances locally, so smaller venues have to be sought. Local churches, the new smaf¥ lecturc- theatre at Selkirk College, and the National Exhibition Centre are all possibilities. For their spring concert to be held May 14, the Kokanee String Quartet has opted for the Nation- al Exhibition Centre. Sponsored by Selkirk College’s Continuing Education and the National Exhibition Centre, this concert will be an outstanding event fea- turing works by Mozart and Mendelssohn and lighter pieces form 20th century practitioners such as Gershwin and Carmichael. A quarter by Cana- dian comp Keith Bisselwill P head at Selkirk Col- lege is first violinist in the group. He studied violin as a child in Saskatoon and more recently at Washington State University in Pullman, Washing- ton. He has played with the Saskatoon Symphony, the Wash- ington State University Sympho- ny, the Okanagan Symphony, and the Selkirk Chamber Orchestra. Throughout the years, he has performed several “sonata” con- certs in the Kootenays. He is the concen master for the Kootenay Chamber Orchestra and the Rossland Light Opera Orchestra Victor Neufeld, a counsellor at L.V. Rogers High School in Nel- son, has been a member of the Kokanee String Quartct for wo years, but was a member of the Kootenay Chamber Orchestra for several years before that. As a youth, he studied violin the the Fraser Valley. Because he is also interested in choral music, he has directed several choirs including the Nelson Choral Society. Don Wild from Trail joined the Kokanee String Quartet in 1974. He has been a long time member of the Rossland Light Opera Orchestra and the Selkirk Chamber Orchestra. As a youth, he studied with the assistant principal violist of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. He has played with several orchestras and quartets in the Montreal area, and for four years also be on the program. Castlegar is one of several stops in the West Kootenays for the Kokanee String Quartet Their spring selection of music will also be heard by i was fe d with the McGill Chamber Orchestra. He has spent some time with the Purcell String Quartet honing his skills. Christine Cowerm from Win- law studied the cello in Chicago and Colorado. Recent in Nakusp and Trail.

She has been a member of the Kokance String Quartet since 1970 and the Kootenay Chamber Orchestra since 1975. She has been a regu- lar performer with the Rossland Light Opera Orchestra and the Selkirk Chamber Orchestra. Despite the distances between the centres where they live, the members of the Kokanee String Quartet meet regularly to play the music which they love—the rich and varied music for two violins, viola, and cello. Their Spring performance at the NEC Gallery in Castlegar on May 14 promises to be stunning. Wednesday, April 6, 1994 The Castlegar ‘Sun A couple of years ago the Castlegar and District United Way, concerned about the modern viability of policies formulated in the 1960s, instituted a self-exami- nation process they termed a needs assessment This entailed a complete metaphorical disassembly of the local United Way process, the bylaws, poli- cies and proce- dures which governed our operations, for detailed analysis. What was working? What needed improvement? How would the improvement be made? This initial assessment. was an in-house process, following the philosophy that a good clean-up begins in the centre of the house. Bylaws were changed and poli- ciés updated; the entire process was given a thorough shaking up to enable it to move into the 1990s. It turned out to be a very posi- tive process, which provided direction for the last two years as the United Way worked on rede- veloping our inner structure. Now we are ready for the next step. The next stage, having gotten our central act together and accomplished the goals laid out two years ago, is to get together with the next layer of the United Way, the agencies we support. This is what is going to happen on the evening of April 26, with the second needs assessment. In concert with the member agen- cies, we will examine our com- mon effprt and set out common goals in much the same fashion as we previously did internally. Much of inspiration for this session’ comes from Chair Deb Chmara's attendance at the national campaign conference in Ottawa during February of this year. Thanks to a grant from United Way of Canada, Deb, who was re-confirmed as Presi- dent at the Board of Directors ST.
