ld Saarinen each
.of experience. Du-
'lved international
acadian lyric tenor
since then has per-
formed in recitals, operas, operet-
tas and oratorios throughout the
world. He's shared the operatic
stage with Dame Joan Suther-
land and appeared at music festi-
vals in the United States and Eu-
rope.
Longtime concert association
members will recognize Saari-
nen's face; the pianist has been to
Shelton twice before with the Chi-
nook Trio and the Canadian Trio.
A New Zealand-born Canadian,
she debuted with the New Zeal-
and Symphony Orchestra as a
young prodigy and now tours
regularly on five continents. She's
produced several solo albums and
collaborated with others on many
more recordings.
Taylor 2 is choreographer Paul
Taylor's second dance company,
now six years old. Taylor, a domi-
nant force in dance for four de-
cades, was a soloist with the
Martha Graham Dance Company
and performed with the New
York City Ballet early in his ca-
reer. Among more than 40 awards
he has received are three Guggen-
helm Fellowships and a Mac-
Arthur Foundation Fellowship
(often called the "genius award").
TAYLOR WON an Emmy
Award in 1992 for Speaking in
Tongues and was presented with
a National Medal of Arts in a cer-
emony at the White House in
1993. He formed Taylor 2 in addi-
tion to his internationally re-
nowned Paul Taylor Dance Com-
pany, and the smaller troupe di-
rected by Taylor alumna Mary
Cochran is called "the next gener-
ation of dancers in the Taylor tra-
dition." Its dancers introduce au-
diences to the athleticism, humor
and range of emotions found in
Taylor's work.
Jiang, who began studying pia-
no in his native China at age 5,
made his debut at age 12 at the
Shanghai Spring International
Music Festival. He graduated
from the Shanghai Conservatory
of Music and continued his stud-
ies at the Juilliard School in the
U.S. He has won numerous prizes
in piano competitions and played
in Europe, North America and
the Far East.
The pianist has appeared with
orchestras in Houston, Los An-
geles, Hong Kong, Singapore and
China and played recitals in
many venues including the Lin-
coln Center and Carnegie Hall.
Lately he has turned to compos-
ing, and his "Shanghai Dream"
became the theme music for the
score of a Public Broadcasting
System documentary about archi-
tect I.M. Pei.
Burgstaller offers a unique pro-
gram called "The Rafael M6ndez
Project" in which he celebrates
the music of the famous Mexican
trumpeter. In his performance
here, he will not only play solo
trumpet with a piano accompan-
ist but will also play with local
school students after working
with them in residence for two
days. His appearance in Shelton
is part of the association's com-
mitment to introducing young
people to the world of music. Dur-
ing the 1998-1999 season, the as-
sociation sponsored free concerts
at Shelton High School by a so-
prano and a Gershwin pianist for
selected students.
BURGsTALLER started
playing the trumpet at age 6 and
by age 12 was a soloist with
bands and at jazz clubs. By 15 he
had been on national TV. Now re-
siding in New York City, he tours
the world with the brass and per-
cussion group, Meridian Arts En-
semble. Currently on the faculty
of the State University of New
York at Purchase, he has taught
in 28 states, 11 countries and
hundreds of cities on four conti-
nents.
Yoon and Min Kwon already
have years of experience playing
with symphonies even though
they are youngsters. Violinist
Yoon, at the age of 19, has ap-
peared as a soloist with orches-
tras across the United States,
Canada and her native Korea. In
1997 she was the youngest win-
ner of the Juilliard Concerto
Competition, which resulted in
her debut with the Juilliard Sym-
phony at Lincoln Center. Yoon
started her music studies at age 3
on the piano and began studying
the violin three years later; she
studies at the Juilliard School to-
day.
Her sister Min made her
orchestral debut at the age of 12
with the Korean Symphony and
the Seoul Philharmonic. She won
all the major piano competitions
there and in 1985 won a full
scholarship to study at the Curtis
Institute of Music in Philadel-
phia. Shortly thereafter she made
her debut with the Philadelphia
Orchestra as its audition winner,
and since then has been soloist
with the North Carolina, Atlanta,
Fort Worth, Augusta, New Jer-
sey, Northeastern Pennsylvania
and Venezuela symphonies.
Min began her piano studies at
age 3, and currently she's a doc-
toral candidate at the Juilliard
School, where she has taught in
the Piano Minor Department.

Port commission roundup:
Port officials update
financial procedures
The Shelton Port Commission
passed two resolutions designed
to update how it pays its people
and its bills.
Both measures were approved
Wednesday, March 10, by 3-0
votes at the suggestion of George
Fox, the acting port auditor, who
is employed by the Port of Olym-
pia and also works for the Shelton
port.
One resolution gives Fox and
the three elected commissioners
the authority to sign checks and
move money from one account to
another. The commissioners are
Rose Nye, George Radich and
Chairman Henry Trusler. The
resolution also gives the commis-
sioners and Fox direct control of
the port's investment accounts.
THE MEASURE clarifies
lines of authority at a time when
there are a lot of new faces in the
port offices at Sanderson Field.
Two office workers quit recently
and the commission is still look-
ing for a port director.
The resolution puts it this way:
Accident
info stands
corrected
"Whereas, the Port of Shelton has
appointed several persons to tem-
porary positions for the conven-
ience of the Port..."
The other resolution formalizes
the way the port pays its people
and gives the commission the fi-
nal say when it comes to promo-
tions, demotions, disciplinary ac-
tions and pay raises based on
merit. The auditor has been di-
rected to prepare procedures to
implement these policies.
"Basically it's a way of stream-
lining and rationalizing the way
the payroll is paid to employees,"
Fox said.
The new system will go into ef-
fect immediately. Workers will
get paid on the fifth and 20th of
each month. Hourly employees
are to keep a record of their hours
covering two pay periods per
month.
MEANWHILE, THE search
continues for the new port direc-
tor. In response to a question
from Marv Faughender, Trusler
said he hopes to get things
wrapped up soon.
"I think we've made an agree-
ment with our search committee
and the public to wind this down
and I believe it is our duty to do
so," Trusler said.
The commission is talking to
the finalists from a list of 35 job
applicants screened by a citizens
advisory comnfittee. "I would look
at more than one or two cars be-
fore I bought just to make sure I
got the one I wanted," Nye said.
IN OTHER business last
week, the commission:
Voted 3-0 to send Dave Na-
deau, a maintenance worker, to a
class in Ocean Shores in how to
operate the port water system.
"The people that handle your wa-
ter system need to be trained," In-
terim Port Director Norm Eveleth
said. Eveleth said the port fi)und
that out when the system froze up
last Christmas day.
Voted 3-0 to approve $57,725
in total warrants.
Listened to the remarks of
Jay Hupp of the Economic Devel-
opment Council of Mason County.
He talked about the city's eflbrts
to protect the Shelton aquifer as
required by the state's Growth
Management Act.
"It is coming down to what is
probably going to be a very con-
troversial ordinance," Hupp said,
adding later, "From my perspec-
tive, it is going to be a pretty on-
orous burden on business."
Two tow trucks were involved
in a fatal car crash that took the
life of Katherine I. Townsend, 46,
of Shelton on March 4. The Jour-
nal incorrectly indicated that only
one tow truck was involved.
The Washington State Patrol
reports that two tow trucks re-
sponded to a call about a disabled
van near Kennedy Creek on
Highway 101.
Washington State Patrol Ser-
geant Wes Stockwell said this
week that Leslie K. Landis, a tow
truck driver for Poages Towing,
was given a traffic infraction for
improper parking in the wake of
an investigation of the accident.
"After interviewing witnesses
and examining evidence at scene,
it was determined that when Lan-
dis parked his truck on the inside
shoulder of Highway 101, he
failed to get the tow truck com-
pletely off the roadway," Stock-
well said. "The right rear corner
of the tow truck was sticking out
into the southbound lane."
Townsend, he said, hit the
truck and died in the ensuing
multiple-vehicle accident.
