While we wait to see if Sound Transit is on the ballot in November (and it's starting to seem likely ), and we hope that it is, progress is being made to the south with all six governmental bodies approving a replacement I-5 bridge over the Columbia River that is six lanes and contains light rail . All six governmental bodies mulling alternatives to the current Interstate Bridge want a new six-lane structure that contains a light-rail line to Clark College and bicycle and pedestrian paths. The Southwest Washington Regional Transportation Council voted 10-3 for a new bridge, cementing the six-lane option as the project's locally preferred alternative. The council joined Metro, TriMet , C-TRAN and city councils in Portland and VANCOUVER in approving a new toll structure, as opposed to revamping the existing Columbia River bridge. It's great to see forward-thinking government bodies of two neighboring states come together for a positive solution that will connect VANCOUVER, Washington with Portland, Oregon and get people out of their cars. With $4 plus per gallon gas (and no relief in sight), transit options are becoming more necessary than ever. Unlike Tim Eyman's road building initiative (I-985), which will cost us all, investment in light rail will pay economic and environmental dividends. And while it won't happen anytime soon, I'd love to see a future where light rail in the Puget Sound region is connected to our neighbors to th ...

Although the Bartók String Quartets are securely placed in the standard chamber repertoire, complete performances are something special. In a poignant homage to the VANCOUVER Recital Society's now defunct Chamber Music Festival, the Boston-based Borromeo Quartet played on July 20, in circumstances as untypical as the project. The venue was a large home on the edge of VANCOUVER's sprawling northeast suburbs. Most of the audience traveled an hour from the downtown core, listening to a pre-concert lecture aboard a motor coach. This almost rural setting and the perfect summer day held all hundred participants in a shared intimacy. The music was impressive. The Quartet played in Tokyo last month and plans to record the works in the near future. First violinist Nicholas Kitchen followed the full score on a laptop but the rest of the ensemble opted for traditional parts. The Borromeo Quartet produced a suave, blended sound, which made the First Quartet sound all the more Romantic. By the time Bartók found his idiom, the players had adjusted to accommodate the raw energy and rhythmic drive of the composer. Hearing all six quartets in six hours was demanding; such intense music packs an emotional wallop. The integral approach made Bartók's ideas and connections all the more powerful. The charm of the setting played its part as well. In the ‘night music’ movements of unsentimental evocations of nature sounds, it seemed like the Fraser Valle ...
