Sixty-five people embarked on a musical journey with the Rossland Light Opera Play- ers on Friday when the Players performed /t's Been A Long,Long Time at Stanley Humphries Senior Secondary School in Castlegar.

The cast of 28, along with the orchestra, recreated the music of the war years; wist- ful, raucous, and wonderful tunes that involved their audience and, for several, brought back memories.

As this was the 50th anniversary of the end of WWIL, and as they state in their pro- gram, “most of all because we love to sing the songs,” the RLOP decided to produce a review featuring the music of those years. The show was a revised performance, of a show originally created for the 60th anniver- sary of The Royal Canadian Legion in 1986.

The story is part of a dream that a woman has, of being back with her friends, in a pub, in England. Awakened from her dream she tells her husband, “It was a regi-

mental reunion, even the ones that bought it were there.”

She and her husband return to the dream and the audience is similarly transported back in time. Members of the army, air force, and navy are all represented dressed in authentic uniforms, many of which had been donated to the RLOP by members of the community.

Songs representative of WWI and WWII, and songs that were part of the effort at home helped recreate the spirit of those days with a touch of local color thrown in for good measure.

Jim Waldie gave a wonderful rendition of Oh How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning, with a local twist to the ending of “I'll put my uniformaway, and move to good old Kootenay Bay.”

Wendy Garbe contributed a wistful, and wonderful performance with B/ue Birds Over the White Cliffs of Dover. Songs like Hang Up the Washing on the Siegfried Line, or Boo- gie Woogie Bugle Boy and Knees Up Mother Brown both delighted and involved the audi-

ence who were encouraged to sing along.

In both the first and second halves of the performance “tongue in cheek” monologues by Eve Bourchier entertained the crowd. Every presentation was wonderful, and from the Scot in the kilt, to the soldier peeling potatoes, there were no dull moments. Inter- mission was heralded with air-raid sirens, and a black out.

Ivy Nielsen was one Castlegar resident who thoroughly enjoyed the performance,

“It brings back memories. My aunt was dancing in the streets after the war was over in London. Can you believe it's 50 years ago?”

The two-hour performance left the audi- ence wanting more and the cast was brought back for one final song, We’ ll Meet Again,

It was an evening of memories for some, and for those who weren't alive to remem- ber the war years, it created a sense of who their parents, and grandparents were. People who lived through the worst’ of times and made the best of them.

The RLOP will perform in Rossland on Thursday, and in Nelson May 16.

fuming over reorganization

Local 4-H leaders know a wolf in sheep's clothing when they see one.

The recent up-beat announce- ment by Agriculture Minister David Zirnhelt that the provincial government is turning over the reigns of administration of the program to volunteers has left some 4-H members fuming.

“They're trying to make it look nice, but the truth of the story's they're taking funding away from our specialists,” said local 4-H member Judy Hudema

What this has done has required some volunteers, who usually spend their time teaching and directing children in the pro- gram, left dedicating much of their time to administration duties, volunteer training, pro- gram development and produc- tion of 4-H educational and support materials.

For this region, that ‘duty has fallen on Hudema’s shoulder. Hudema said specialists, paid by the Ministry of Agriculture, used to be responsible for training new leaders and administration, but the cut-back of funding has now left people like Hudema picking up the slack. This has had its effect on local club members.

“Volunteers are getting very burned out—they want to focus on the children. In our region it’s not working well. It takes away from the children.”

But it’s not just members of the Kootenay who are concerned over the announcement. Hudema said members who attended a national meeting in Toronto in 1993 voiced their concerns over the then-impending announce-

ment.

Judy Hudema - has concerns

“All the leaders were voicing their opinions and everybody had their concems,”

But Hudema is quick to give credit to the ministry despite the recent announcement.

“There are not many other such programs funded by the government so I can't complain.”

Despite the recent announce- mént Hudema still believes in the strengths of 4-H and its benefits to children.

“It’s one‘of the best youth pro- grams in the area. It teaches them citizenship and public speaking.”

This year there are 18 area children enrolied-in the tocal 4-H club.

4-H stands for head, heart, hands and health, and develops skills in rural youth age nine to 19 to achieve personal develop- ment, leadership, citizenship and sense of community.

Members participate in com- munity projects, mainly with an agricultural focus under their motto of “Learn to do by Doing”

The B.C. 4-H has been in exis- tence since 1914.

A south Castlegar resident wants Castlegar council to improve the water pressure in his area.

“The supply and poor pres- sure (have) been a bone of con- tention with me ever since I moved to this street,” Wayne Sutton wrote in a recent letter

to council.

Sutton, who lives at 3408 5th Ave., said he has written to council before about the prob- jem and still has poor pressure.

He notes that the city intends to upgrade Sth Avenue if the new Riverbend Subdivi- sion proceeds, and he suggests that before carrying out the work, City crews upgrade the water line,

“Hopefully, you will consider my request and I will be able to enjoy a decent shower in the near future,”

City administrator Jim Gustafson told council last week that the water pressure problem is a result of the system.

“One of the reasons there is

could be in the proposed River- bend Subdivision

If the Riverbend Subdivision proceeds, the water line for the subdivision would connect to the line at 5th Avenue and to the line at 37th Street, making “a loop”, which would semi

low water p is b the water line dead ends.” Gustafson said the solution

connection will cost $50,000 to $100,000.
