part)<BR><BR>-----------------------------------<BR><BR>. . . speaking of community concerns, Moscow’s Tom Hansen brought up a couple of interesting topics on V2020 this week. The first was that since the 1912 Center was marking its centennial this year, someone should remind the Moscow City Council that a celebration might be in order. He wondered if anyone knew the official opening date.<BR><BR>Secondly, Hansen wrote that his group. “Moscow Cares,” was going to finance a competition for an official city song ($2,000 for first place, $1,000 for second place and $500 for third place) to be conducted at Farmers Market Saturday; judging to be done by members of the Moscow Arts Commission.<BR><BR>Mayor Nancy Chaney had endorsed the idea, Hansen reported.<BR><BR>The idea was submitted to the Moscow Arts Commission via the Moscow Arts Department, only to be informed that the Arts Commission <SPAN id=misspell-1 class=mark>didn</SPAN>’t have the time,
says Hansen.<BR><BR>“I’ll just have to remember that the next time they want somebody to videotape a Moscow arts anniversary and create a CD for them, like ‘Moscow Cares’ did for their 30<SPAN id=misspell-2 class=mark>th</SPAN> anniversary,” Hansen wrote.<BR><BR>The <SPAN id=misspell-3 class=mark>INKster</SPAN> thought this sounded like a terrific idea, especially with all the music students in town.<BR><BR>-----------------------------------<BR><BR>Thank you, Vera. That was very kind of you.<BR><BR>The offer remains on the table . . .<BR><BR>$2,000 - First Place<BR>$1,000 - Second Place<BR>$500 - Third Place<BR><BR>Once the winner has been selected, the song WILL NOT be copyrighted and WILL become public domain.<BR><BR>The biggest catch, since the Arts Commission/Department has not shown any interest in pursuing this matter, is to have the song officially adopted by the city of Moscow.<BR><BR>We must, also, identify a place and time to
conduct the competition, as well as a group of non-affiliated persons to perform the role as judges.<BR><BR>If there are people here seriously interested in this community cause, "Moscow Cares" may be contacted at:<BR><BR><A href="mailto:MoscowCares@moscow.com" ymailto="mailto:MoscowCares@moscow.com">MoscowCares@moscow.com</A><BR><BR><SPAN id=misspell-4 class=mark>Seeya</SPAN> round town, Moscow, because . . .<BR><BR>"Moscow Cares"<BR>http://www.MoscowCares.com<BR><BR>Tom Hansen<BR>Moscow, Idaho<BR><BR>"If not us, who?<BR>If not now, when?"<BR><BR>- Unknown<BR><BR><BR><BR>=======================================================<BR>List services made available by First Step Internet,<BR>serving the communities of the <SPAN id=misspell-5 class=mark>Palouse</SPAN> since 1994.<BR> http://www.fsr.net<BR> <SPAN id=misspell-6 class=mark>mailto</SPAN>:<A
