About 163 people visited the Zuckerberg jand Chapel House during Heritage Week celebrations in February. Work on the Chapel House and the park continues. Visitors to Island doubled last year Zuckerberg Island Heritage Park attracted almost 5,000 visitors from May to September 1988 and m than 1,000 visitors over the winter, doubling the visitor counts over the previous year Another project of the Castlegar and District Heritage Society, the newly acquired CPR station, is also proving popular During the recent Heritage Week celebrations held in February, the station received 720 visitors while 163 people visited the Chapel House on Zuckerberg Island In spite of the worst weather in years, tendance almost tripled over last year The. groundwork for the Zuckerberg Island Heritage Park began in March 1983 when the Castlegar Rotary Club, with a federal youth works program grant, initiated the project of restoring the island which had been decaying for 20 years. By September a Heritage Advisory Committee had been sponsored team had prepared a 150-page report and Mayor Audrey Moore had formally opened the park to 400 visitors. With a matching grant of $25,000 from B.C. Heritage Trust, architects drawings were prepared{and restoration work on the unique Russian Orthodox Chapel Hause, Alexander Zuckerberg’s former home on theisland, was begun in December Inthe face of the dangerous floods, alternate access to the island became essential. In the spring of 1984, the committee, supported by a grant from the Rotary Club, city works crews and extensive supplies, equipment and technical advice from local industry, was able to per suade the 44th Field Engineer Quadron, a militia unit, to build a 145-metre suspension birdge to the island Work onthe Chapel House and the park continues. The island received a facelift last fall. A fence was built to protect the kukuli (model Indian. winter pithouse) at the. head of the suspension bridge. Lodgepole pines and acacia on the island were selec- tively thinned. Crushed gravel was put down to enhance and stabilize many of the island’s pathways. The 16 island viewing benches and picnic tables were also given their annual coat of protective stain The CPR station, which dates back to 1902, was acquired in November 1987. John Charters, Heritage Advisory Committee chairman, convinced city council of the value of the well-preserved building asa transpor tation museum, tourist information centre and com munity arts centre building across the tracks and relocate it on adjacent city property. The B.C, Heritage Trust matched city funds with a $40,000 restoration grant Despite some administrative delays, the committee became the Castlegar Heritage Society in July 1988 and work is now proceeding steadily The community Tourism Employment: Training Program under the Ministry of Social Services and Housing enabled the society to hire two women over the winter, one for each heritage building. Gail Moodie works at the Chapel house and Karan Porsnuk at the rail tation as a guide co-ordinator “This step has both buildings open and in high profile throughout the winter, greatly advanced restoration work, co-ordination of effort, and public_ involvement,"’ Charters says. The third phase of development will involve the consolidation of the station as a museum-tourist-art centre, and Zuckerberg Island Heritage Park as an educational eco-museum and archeological research inking up similar sites in the Kootenays Although the rail station was acquired in Novem ber 1987, the Heritage Society didn’t take possession of the building until June 1988 “There was a tremendous amount of cleanup and preparation to be done before we could open it,” Char ters says Heritage Week at formed, a city The station was opened to the public in January Mayor Audrey Moore officially opened the building during Heritage Week But there is still much work to be done on the station. The Castlégar and District Arts Council and the Selkirk Spinners and Weavers are making improvemen ts to the upstairs. Dick and Donna McLeod are finishing one of the bedrooms as a trainman’s room to establish the fact that the upstairs area was occupied as living quarters for the station master’s family. The room will be-called the McLeod-room.Dick- McLeod"s_gran- dfather wasa trainman at the station. ~ The downstairs area is being established as a museum of transportation, again reflecting life as it was in this area in the earlier days Contract of the electrical restoration has been met and Charters says contracts for roofing, shingling and insulation will follow Future plans for the station include an outdoor exhibit. Charters explains that the Castlegar fire depar- tment has asked to store its restored fire engine under Sisters busy with meetings Kootenay Temple No. 37, Pythian Sisters,*has had a busy schedule.with the official visit of DDGC Phyllis Woodward, Maple Leaf Temple No. 4 Rossland and district No. 1 and 2 On March 23, Kootenay Temple No. 37 held its regular meeting in the Masonic Hall with MEC Susan Bycroft presiding Acting grand chief Mary Gleboff, acting. grand manager Joy Saunders and acting grand senior Myrtle Thorhas installed Jean Jones as guard Regular routine business followed.

This year has been no exception. The council's fi year. began in July with the Sixth Annual Concerts in the Park series, Local performers included the Kootenay String Diversion (Debra Tompkins, Greg Archibald and Chuck Cram), Frank Lamb and Steven’ Baal, the Clan MacDougall, and the Kootenay Old Time Fiddlers Attendance at Kinsmen Park for these free noon-hour performances every Thursday throughout the month was excellent, averaging about 100 people per concert. Funding for the event was provided this year by the Arts Council, with advertising by the Castlegar News and CKQR Radio. The Annual general meeting and election of officers was held Sept. 26 at the Castlegar and District Public Library. The following people were elected to the executive: President — Donna Moyer; past president andtouring ¢o-ordinator — Eleanor Elstone; treasurer — Ron Heuer; recording secretary — Heidi Berger; correspondence secretary — Jodi Parson; membership chairperson Agnes Walden; directors — Beth Marken, Judy Wear- mouth, Mary-Beth Small, Margaret Pryce and Margaret Carroll. Also in September, two executive members attended the 2'4-day conference and annual general meeting of the Assembly of British Columbia Arts Councils, the provin- cial level of the Arts Council network. Castlegar Arts Council is just one of 96 community arts councils in 12 regions of the province which maintains yearly membership in the assembly. The conference brings together Arts Council volunteers from all communities and offers them a variety of professional development workshops ‘on such topics as funding, policy and board development, facility and_festival planning, motivating volunteers and many at the Sandman Inn was the third of this season's touring concerts and a real crowd-pleaser. Immediately, there was interest expressed in bringing the four young a capella singers back to Castlegar In addition to the School Arts Festival this month, the fourth and final touring concert of the season will be presented :on the evening of April 28 at SHSS. Delia Dreis_ will perform a one-woman drama entitled ‘*Prairie Winds, Prairie Wome ‘herstory’ of the settlement of Western Canada via characterizations of several pioneer women of the early 1900s. And once again this month, two Arts Council executive members will be sponsored to attend **Pacific, Contact,” the annual national trade show of the perfor ming arts, in Richmond. From April 5 to 9, delegates spent many hours per day in workshops, at preview performan ces and in the contact rooms meeting with performers and their agents, with the responsibility of selecting a roster of likely candidates for next year’s touring concert series here at home. - On its return, the entire executive body will begin the chain of meetings required to make the final decisions and once those have been made, preliminary arrangements will begin. Thus will the touring responsibilities of the Arts Council for the next year be established During the-month of May seyeral more tasks will be undertaken by council members. In addition to the move to the Castlegar Rail Station office, the time will be right for making initial contact with local performers who might be interested in participating in the coming summer's Concer ts in the Park presentations As well, executive decisions must now be made regar ding the awarding of grant monies to qualifying member groups and/or individuals Each year, Castlegar Arts Council considers grant ap- plications from several of its: member groups. Applications were received this year from the Castlegar and District Public Library, the West_Kootenay National Exhibition Centre, the Kootenay-Columbia Child Care Society, the Castlegar Writer's Guild, the Kootenay Art Club, the Multicultural Society and Castiegar Citizen Advocacy (The 2880 Highway Drive Preparation and submission of basic assistance and grant requests to the provincial government consumed the major part of October, while November saw the presen: tation of the council’s first touring concert, Les Bucherori at Stanley Humphries secondary school. After a brief recess during the Chrismas holiday, executive members were back in full force searching, plan- ning, negotiating and arranging for a space in which to set up a permanent office location. Thanks to the generosity of the Castlegar and District Heritage Society and the hard work and dedication of Arts Council members, that space has now beconte available to us on the second floor of the CP Rail Station in downtown Castlegar. The facility is perfect and the Arts Council is ex- tremely excited about the ramifications of having a visible “storefront”’ so readily accessible to the community. As soon as the move has been completed, the council hopes to host an official opening and open house for the benefit of the arts community. February was a particularly busy month for the Arts Council. As well as actively participating in the festivities of Heritage Week, members worked extremely hard to present the Alberta Ballet performance at the Brilliant Cultural Centre on Feb. 21. In spite of a few difficulties with facility arrangements, the performance was ‘well received"afid generally successtul. Arts Council member ship-at-large came through nobly for this event by providing an enormous amount of baked goods for the concession and by turning out in record numbers. Further during January and February, meetings bet ween Arts Council, the District Parents’ Group and staffs Light and Power Theatre Company). Further, the council awards annual scholarships of two deserving SHSS studen ts pursuing a future in some aspect of the arts. These awards must now also be considered, for presentation at the year- end high school assembly in June One very special project for the 1989-90 Arts Council season will be the council’s active involvement in the plan- ned renovations to the SHSS activity room. We hope to be able to generate additional funding through the provincial government’s GO B.C. program, and to influence design decisions enough to. ensure that the facility will ultimately meet the needs of the community as well as of the high school arts department. This project will need the support of all sectors of the community and the council will en- courage involvement by as many people as possible. It is an exciting prospect from our point of view and one the coun- cil feels will benefit the entire community And somewhere among the multitude of annual responsibilities, Arts Council endeavors to hold a yearly membership drive and at least one major fund-raising ac- tivity eacy year and to print and distribute three or four newsletters per season. The council’s perennial problems remain the same — too few members, too little active involvement by mem- bers, and too little support from the community. Major strides have been made in overcoming these barriers this year and the council hopes tliat its continued efforts amd dedication will'inspire even greater gains during the.comjng year It is the council's belief that the Arts Council serves a valuable purpose in the community, since the fine arts play chevrolet oldsmobile itd. 368-9134 Rivervie Trail, B.C.
