BURKE MOUNTAIN

Music, solidarity
move to new locale
_for 9th labor fest

Thon

The morning's leaden heavens and
low temperatures surrendered to
sun and blue skies Sunday, June 2,
as the first of the performers at the
ninth annual Burke Mountain Labor
Festival took to the stage in a new
locale, Vancouver's seaside New
Brighton Park. Festival-goers were
treated to the fare that has made the
festival, named for its original loca-
tion at the home of former Tribune
president George Hewison, popular
with the labor and progressive
movements: music and the now-
famous barbequed salmon. But
1985's Burke Mountain also fea-
tured a hard-fought volleyball tour-
nament and a special children’s hour
to mark the International Year of
Youth and International Children’s
Day. Entertainers and other festival
features included, in photos (clock-
wise, from top right): Carolyn Dry-
burg (I) and Susan Ellenton of the
Glee Club; MC and Tribune assistant
editor Dan Keeton; the Celtic band
of Kevin Dooley (second from left)
and friends; the political rock group
Communique, whose members pro-
vided and operated the sound sys-
tem; face-painting clowns Tracy
LLoyd and Denise Worobetz (in
photo); noted labor folk singer Tom
Hawken entertaining during child-
ren‘s hour; break dancer Umar Gor-
don; kitchen crew (I to r) Kim
Penner, Lorna Morford, Eunice Par-
ker, Alice Person and Gord Penner:
and the salmon barbeque crew of
Fishermen’s Union welfare director
Bert Ogden (appropriately stetsoned),
and (I to r) Joe Setynski, Peter Mar-
cus and Belle Setyniski. Also per-
forming but not pictured were Steve
Gidora and Phil Vernon.
