By Paul Stewart A Twin Bridges man is prepar ing for the trip of a lifetime in Orlando, Florida where he will compete against the best Karaoke singers in the United States. Thirty five year old Steven Coo per, who works as a janitor at Safeway, won a spot as an alter nate to the finals after a series of contests held by “Boots Country Karaoke\ at Jackson Hot Springs during the summer. Dean Lebret was the overall winner, but due to a medical emergency in his family will not be able to attend. As a result Cooper will head for Orlando on September 25 to rep resent Montana in the “Coast to Coast Karaoke 97 Finals\ which will be held at the MGM Ameri can Gladiators Arena. The tele vised event, which takes place over two days, will feature singers from all fifty states. A series o f heats will eliminate all but 10 finalists. If Cooper gets to the final then he stands an ex cellent chance of becoming Na tional Champion, in addition to coming back home with $5000 in his pocket, he'll have a state of the art Karaoke System. “It’s a dream come true for me,\ he said. \I’ve always wanted to perform in front of thousands of people, so getting the chance to play at the MGM arena is really fantastic. I’m thrilled.\ Cooper has been performing, on and off, for about five years, after he began singing in Church. A highlight of his career came last year when he sang without Karaoke equipment at the Jimmy Dean Country Showdown in Butte. \I got to the local finals,” he said,” but got beat out at the end by Cactus Junction.” Cooper’s strongest songs, are “Through the Years,” and “Lady” by Kenny Rogers, “Keepers o f the Stars,” by Tracy Byrd, and his se cret weapon for the finals, “Blue Moon” by the Marcels.

I just want to throw some thing a little different, at them.” W ide most of his time will be spent at the competition, he hopes to be able to visit some family while he is down there. Meanwhile his wife Anita, and two kids Kaylee 8, and Wayne, 6 will have to rely on the telephone for progress reports on the competi tion. Cooper was keen to express his thanks to Harvey and Boots Lake who originally held the local heats of the competition. He also insisted on thanking everyone who subse quently sponsored his journey to the event and his accommodation while he is there. In one instance a clothing store has provided his stage gear. “Without these people I wouldn’t be able to go and com pete,” he said. “I want to say thanks, I really appreciate it.” Area youth continues family tradition of making Eagle Scouts A Jackson youth, Jake Olsen, recently completed the require ments to earn Scouting’s highest rank, Eagle Scout.
