PEOPLE AND ISSUE

A s Tribune staff members com-
mented, somewhat irreverent-
ly, the recent social comment by
church leaders seems to have had a
beneficial effect on the weather
Conditions for events staged by the
Progressive movement — and once
again the sun shone throughout the
day as several hundred people took
I the annual “‘songs, salmon nd
Solidarity”? at the Burke Mountain
ae Festival in Websters Corners
ay.

As it has. been every year since
the event began (it really did get
Started at the foot of Burke Moun-
tain), it took alot of people to make
It go, and at the top of the list were
the many performers who
8enerously contributed their
talents. Leading off the
afternoon’s enterainment was
Festival co-founder George
Hewison who put aside his hats as
Tribune president and UFAWU
Secretary to take up his preferred
hat of singer. Joining him, as well
a doing his own set with bass
Player Pat Gidora, was Steve

dora.

Returning for a second festival
With their Latin American songs
Were the members of the Chilean
8toup Puelche, made up of Ar-
Mando Nahuelpan and sons Pascal
and Nicolas. Also back again were
Lorraine Helgerson, Ross McRae,
Paul Newman and Rick Gordon
Who collectively make up

me Reel, a group which has

Won a wide following for their

Presentation of traditional and
bor songs.

_Another unionist who put aside
his hat as B.C. Nurses Union
Organizer to take up his guitar to
_ Perform several of his own songs
| Was Peter Dent. And also back,
} With traditional songs from Britain
and Ireland, was Nola Johnston.

“The evening wound up on a high
Note after a dynamic set of songs by
the local rock group Hard Times
Review with Paul Cruikshank,
Julius Fisher, Jane Leroux, Peter
Judd and Chantel LaPlante. On
Sound was Bill Andrews, filling in
er regular sound man Doug Simp-

in.

But even before the festival gets
Underway each year, there are a lot
- Of people busy early in the morn-
ih, getting it all ready. Laboring in
the kitchen to put together the meal
Were Christine and Jim Beynon,
Alice Person, Irene Leeson and

ri Townend.

And laboring over a hot bonfire,
filleting fish and doing everything
required to barbecue spring salmon
as only a Burke Mountain Labor
Festival can, were -Bert, Jill and
Robert Ogden, Peter Marcus,
Sheila.and Sam Graceffo, Kathy
Schultz and Norman Berry.

eaders will have an opportun-

ity to take in a festival of a dif-
erent kind when the Association of
United Ukrainian Canadian opens
