Twin River's students dazzle family and friends

MARION ANDERSON
Sun staff 7

If the’ Twin River's Spring Con-
cert was any indication of what can
be expected for the Sunfest Parade,
then expect to be entertained.

Robert Bertuzzi’s Primary 4 to
Grade 6 music students performed
for families and members of the
community Thursday, May 23, in

the Twin River's school gymnasi-
um,

The Primary 4 students per-
formed their rendition of “The Ele-
phant's Child,” a story of how the
elephant acquired such a long
snout, The young choir succecded
in telling the story with both humor
and harmony. Armed with elephant
masks made by the students—with
some assistance by their teachers—

this band of little elephants went
over in a big way.

But it was the Grades 4 to 6
band and choir who really stole the
show.

The band is the choir, and vise -

versa, After performing such
vocals as “Waltzing Matilda,”
“She'll Be Coming Around the
Mountain,” partnered with “Gospel
Train,” it was easy to sce how all

their vocal performance, the stu-
dents moved over to the band stage
to get down to some serious music
making. The band's rendition of
Glen Miller’s “In the Mood" start-
ed things off with a bang; making
sure the audience was “in the
mood.” No problem,

And things just got better from
there. Numbers like “The Enter-
tainer,” “At The Hop,” and “Amaz-
ing Grace” kept everyone smiling,
rocking and boppin’,

The band finished with “Wipe

Out,” accompanied ' with ‘demon- ~

strations by three drummers, who
switched places during the perfor-
mance, The length of applause was
just one version of appreciation felt
by onlookers. More appreciation
was shared by comments like,
“That was absolutely incredible.”
One parent even suggested that Mr.
Bertuzzi receive a medal.

Now this wasn’t just proud par-
ents gushing over their children’s
achievements. These kids were

was only di not to sce
the standing ovation that nearly
happened twice.

Robert Bertuzzi has spent a
great deal of time with the students,
explaining their expertise at han-
dling their instruments. Wolfing
down a quick lunch during noon-
hour break, the rest of his free time
is spent in coaching the young
musicians,

“It’s the kids who really take
charge. They come to the music
class completely on their own ini-
tiative. Whether it’s in'the moming
or at noon, they're there to leam,
and they’re eager.”

Bertuzzi got his musical start in
the army, where he played in the

band. As music teacher at Twin
Rivers Elementary School for the
past 20 years, he’s tured out many
young musicians,

“Kids need the constant activity
of learning things, like music,”
Bertuzzi feels, “The really nice
thing about teaching music is they
get to hear themselves improve. I
enjoy seeing the look that comes
across their faces when they realize
they've gotten it.”

Bertuzzi decided to combine the
choir and the band to gain a bigger
and better sound. He succeeded.

Principal Paul Phipps’ closing
remarks at the music festival
summed it up well, “Now you
know why we are so proud of our
students,”

Yes, Mr. Phipps, we do,

City Council takes a
stand on vandalism

SHARLENE IMHOFF
Sun Editor

Castlegar City Council has
decided to take a stand against
recent bouts of vandalism - hope-
fully with the help of the commu-

nity.
Alderman Kirk Duff, from the
ve services
feels that a good approach to
fighting vandalism would be to
involve the entire community.

“It's a community problem that
everyone will have to deal with,”
he said.

Duff's proposal involves formu-

OPEN HOUSE FOR
THE GENERAL PUBLIC

to 4:00 pm, June 6th at the City
Centre Mall. Review the FINAL
DRAFT of the Revitalization plan
for the North Castlegar business
section. Meet the Urban Systems
Lo and the Revi

lating a citizen's committee which
will attempt to alleviate the vandal-
ism problem in Castlegar.

One of the ways this could be
accomplished would be to detect
who's committing the crimes, and
why.

Castlegar RCMP staff sergeant
Doug Hill says any effort by the
city to fight crime will be wel-
comed by the local police.

“We would definitely support
any program which would
decrease crime. Every little bit can
play a part.”

Hill does feel however, that
there is no way in which all van-
dalism incidences can be detected.

“You still won’t reach all the
people who are doing this. These
kids are hanging around with noth-
ing to do. Obviously they have no
respect for property,” he finished.

Council plans to reach a deci-
sion regarding the citizen's com-
mittee at their next meeting.

Also host familics do not have to have children the

nice to have some families who are retired and those
with young children as well.”

‘Study to focus on Kimberley
following Cominco closure

KIMBERLEY - The plight of
heuneriae after the closure of
‘Cominco will be the focus of a
three-year study by social scientist
‘Agnes Koch.

Koch, an instructor at Bast
Kootenay Community College in
(Cranbrook recently received a
$60,000 grant from the Social Sci-
ences and Humanities Research
Council (SSHRC) for a three year
Project to examine Kimberley's
tadaptation to the closing of the Sul-
jlivan Mine.

Hl ' The project originally started as
ja study Mf the effects of the tempo-
jrary closure last January, but when

Koch's proposal was tured down,
she revamped the project and
applied for a study of the probable
effects of the upcoming permanent
closure.

There are a number of factors
involved in Koch receiving the
grant but she expects her proximity
to Kimberley was a big bonus
when it came down to the final
decisions.

“T got the idea it would good for
someone on-site to do a study... The
fact that I will be able to do a study
of a resourcé based community like
Kimberley over a fairly long period
of time, probably gave my propos-

Another bonus for Koch, who
lives just outside the city limits is

research on the Bast Kootenay
