A good week’s workYouth band camp preps

musicians for Festival paradeBy Carol ladwig

Staff Reporter

No parade is complete without a marching band, certainly not the Festival at Mount Si’s grand parade set for 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 11. Each year, the week-old Snoqualmie Valley Youth Marching Band cap-tures one of the coveted awards in the festival’s parade judging, and then, its first and final performance complete, it dissolves for another year.

Since about 2003, sixth graders and older have had the opportunity to take a week-long marching band bootcamp at Mount Si High School. Mount Si doesn’t have a marching band program, so this end-of-sum-mer camp, led by Mount Si band-leader and music teacher Adam

Rupert, is an opportunity for stu-dents to try something new.

“This is a fun week, doing some-thing you don’t get a chance to do during the school year,” explains Rupert. Since the band’s only gig is the parade at the end of the week, Rupert says, “there is no reason to have it last longer than that.”

So on Monday, Aug. 6, students assembled at Mount Si High School to learn the basics of marching to music.

The end result is “Fanfare, big numbers, loud noises, symmetry and recognizable melodies,” Rupert says, all the things that people love about marching bands. Getting there will take some work.

“It’s harder than you think,” Rupert said, to walk in a straight line while playing an instrument and listening for instructions.

Do you and your dog look alike? Find out at Festival contestBy Seth truSCott

He’s here every morning, and he keeps punctual office hours. A photo of him in office attire, complete with necktie, hangs by the door. From his perch in a comfy seat by the counter, he scopes out the customers as they enter, or takes an interested glance at the products that employees carry past. Sometimes, he naps on the job. You might think Sylar owns the place.

In truth, he’s just the canine mascot at Pet Place Market in North Bend. But the truth is that Sylar has got quite a bit in common with Brenna Schoultz, the owner of both Pet Place Market and him.

“He comes to work every single day, sits up here and greets people,” Schoultz said of the 6-year-old toy Manchester terrier. “Sometimes growls at people. Everybody knows him.”

ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fi ts your budget ... in just one day!*

A LEADER IN DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT

Virtually every adult will lose a tooth, and as we get older, more Americans will suffer with missing and failing teeth. These days, however, there are dental implant solutions that either didn’t exist in the past or which were diffi cult to access. But now, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are leading the way in innovative dental implant treatments. Dental Implants are a permanent solution for dental problems. And now your treatment, from our team of specialists, can often be accomplished in just one day*… and without the need for additional bone graft surgeries. In fact, dental implants can last a lifetime and have become the treatment of choice for replacement of missing and failing teeth. With more than 10,000 dental implant procedures performed, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have become a leader in dental implant treatment delivery.

TECHNOLOGY

Every ClearChoice Dental Implant Center includes an on-site 3D CAT Scan. The 3D CAT Scan technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This technology provides three-dimensional and cross-sectional views that allow ClearChoice doctors to examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implants; select the correct type and size of implants; determine the precise placement of implants, and avoid the nerves and sinuses.

Since every smile is custom designed, each ClearChoice Center has a specialized Dental Implant in-house lab to custom make your smile.

TEAM OF SPECIALISTS

The technology alone cannot elevate ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers in their fi eld. Our technology is paired with an expert professional team of doctor specialists enabling ClearChoice to empower so many patients around the country to change their lives. These qualifi ed specialists include an oral surgeon who places implants, and a prosthodontist who designs your custom new smile. Each of the doctors has special expertise and can be trusted to deliver your high quality implant care. Dental Implants are a surgical procedure and the ClearChoice doctors have extensive experience in this area including administering anesthesia to provide comfort. Custom fabrication of the patient’s new smile and replacement teeth are accomplished by trained lab technicians in the on-site dental implant lab.

Our local specialists are available for a FREE initial consultation or even second opinions. Why wait, call now!

SATISFACTION & WARRANTY

Whether for a missing single tooth, multiple teeth or a whole mouthful of missing or failing teeth, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers provide comprehensive implant treatment professionally and affordably in a fraction of the time it would take many other professionals. That’s why in an independent study of thousands of patients, ClearChoice patients would overwhelmingly recommend ClearChoice to others† and we warranty our work.

The people’s

chiliSimmering all day at the 2011 Festival

at Mount Si, Sallal Grange’s big pot of chili was very much a community concoction.

Grange members on the team slipped all kinds of secret ingredients into the bub-bling pot of beaf, sausage and beans. Every cook added something.

“I don’t think you could ever duplicate what it was we made,” said Grange mem-ber and 2012 Festival at Mount Si Grand Marshall Nels Melgaard.

That special creation won second place in the judge’s contest, but took the first-place crowd vote. It was the people’s chili.

Expect the Grange and plenty of other locals to grab their chili spoons and return to the What’s Cookin’ Chili Cook-off, sponsored by the North Bend Bar & Grill, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 12, on the festival grounds at Si View Park.

Be it fiery hot, just plain tasty or a whole

new twist, you can test the mettle of your own chili recipe again this year.

The community sampling begins at 1 p.m. Awards are announced at 2:15 p.m.

Cooks compete for people’s choice and judges’ awards. The top soup chef gets a $300 cash prize, trophy and bragging rights. Judges are local restauranteurs, movers and shakers. The people’s choice is made by

festival-goers, who pay $5 for a chance to taste the chili. Proceeds are donated to the festival.

All chili is cooked on site, and restaurant or professional teams are not allowed. Chili cooks often put their own spin on tried and true recipes. Some creations are savory, some sweet, but all are as individual as the quirky, creative teams that make them.

Duck race helps burn campThe Festival at Mount Si Duck Derby returns at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 12, in the Snoqualmie River’s South Fork.Each year, Emerald City Smoothie of North Bend spon-sors the Duck Derby as a vehicle for raising funds for local chari-ties. The first year benefitted Mount Si Food Bank, while last year’s race helped the Valley Veteran’s Memorial. This year, the race helps Camp Eyabsut, a North Bend camp that benefits burn-injured youth, and is being held in conjuction with the Mount Si Cheer team.The ducks begin their swim at the small park across the street from the Si View Community Center and journey down the South Fork to the finish line, just before the Bendigo Boulevard bridge. A group of local fly fishermen are equipped with a seine, nets and waders to make sure all the ducks make it out of the water.The first prize is $150. Other winning entrants get to choose from an assortment of prizes donated bylocal businesses. There is a maxi-mum of 1,000 ducks in the race. They can be purchased at Emerald City Smoothie in North Bend, or at a booth at the festival.


Spicy competition in the What’s Cookin’ Chili Cookoff returns to the Festival at Mount Si on August 12.

Grand Marshals, then and nowNels Melgaard’s good deeds keep coming back around in the form of public honors. The 2011 Citizen of the Year for North Bend, also voted Best Volunteer this spring by Record readers, is the 2012 Grand Marshall for the Festival at Mount Si. He’s an active Grange member, longtime vol-unteer for the Snoqualmie Valley Wrestling Club, highly active on a personal level helping others with substance abuse, and also connected and helpful to other local efforts, such as the festival.A 16-year Valley resident, Melgaard is owner of The Nursery at Mount Si in North Bend, and is married to wife Anne; they have two sons, Wilkins and Christian.

Faces of Festivals pastLook back on past Festival grand marshals from recent years, and a generation ago:Five years agoMount Si High School culinary teacher Laura Tarp got the honor in 2007. The Washington Restaurant Association Education Foundation had chosen Tarp as the ProStart Teacher of the Year. Still teaching the arts of cooking today, Tarp strives to give her students as much real-world experience as possible.10 years agoBack in 2002, Tom McCullough got the nod as the parade marshall for Alpine Days. McCullough, a retired Snoqualmie Middle School principal, spent 24 years as a Valley educator.He was principal at SMS for 11 years. McCullough remembered the help he received from parents, citizens, voters and the school board.“The community has always supported the schools,” McCullough told the Record that year.25 years agoIn 1987, Carlton “Bus” Weller and his wife Florence were chosen as Alpine Days grand marshals, honored in a Saturday night torchlight parade. The two figured prominently in the development of the town’s grocery business. Florence moved from Yakima to North Bend as a high schooler. She married Bus after dating for several years. Their son is Bill Weller, now QFC manager.

The 2012 Festival at Mount Si—August 10, 11, and

12—promises fun for the entire family. With a Grand Parade, chili cook-off, cher-ry pie–eating contest, fire-works, music, beer garden, and so much more, there is something for everyone.

Of particular interest are the art displays, demonstra-tions, and performances in the Festival Hall, spon-sored by Snoqualmie Valley Arts—a nonprofit organiza-tion of artists and art lov-ers, dedicated to promoting artists and the arts in the Valley.

A sampling of demonstra-tions and performances tak-ing place in the Festival Hall includes:

Add to that moving your feet in time with the music, while keep-ing your row and column straight with the help of only your peripheral vision, and you have a challenge.

Between 35 and 50 students each summer take on that challenge and

join the band camp. From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, they will learn the music and basic marching, and start developing their performance for Saturday.

“Once we know what our strengths and weaknesses are, we can begin to shape the routine,” Rupert said. “It’s the highlight of the parade for us and we take that part very seriously.”

Students interested in band camp should bring their instruments and sack lunches to the first day, along with the participation fee of $75. Also, Rupert says, “lots of energy.”

That gets them the four-day march-ing band experience, parade entry, and a T-shirt. Also, if they continue their tradition, an award from the parade.

Brenna Schoultz has owned Pet Place Market, formerly Renaissance Pet Boutique and Spa, for five years. She admits that Sylar looks a bit like her. She’s also noticed the same trend among other Valley resi-dents and their animals. That’s why she’s organizing a dog-and-owner look-alike contest, part of the pet events at this weekend’s Festival at Mount Si.

“We’ve got a lot of custom-ers who look like their pets, even though they don’t know it,” Schoultz said. “So we decid-ed to change things up a little bit.”

Instead of a talent show and pet beauty pageant, two events are planned: The looka-like competition and an ugliest dog contest that asks the ques-

tion, “Is your mutt’s mug so ugly only you could love it? “

The poster shows the mug of a Chinese crested dog, famed for their lack of looks.

You can register ahead of time for the events at Pet Place Market. Entry is free, and there will be gift baskets as prizes.

Families and children are welcome to take part in the lookalike contest, and the Market has a selection of items to help dogs dress up.

Always togetherCounting the similarities,

both Sylar and his owner are brown-eyed. Schoultz has long, dark hair. Sylar has a sleek black coat.

“We both like to sleep,” said Schoultz, watching Sylar curl up in his elevated dog bed. “If I could sleep all day, I would.”

“He’s pretty spoiled,” she added. “I wish I was that spoiled.” Sylar loves being with Schoultz, and she loves being at her job.

“I like curing dogs, help-ing people with some of the same issues I had,” she says, “helping them gain knowl-edge and teaching them that there’s more to a dog than just being a dog.”

Festival grooves

A world’s worth of music and entertain-ment is free for the taking this weekend at the Festival at Mount Si. Head to the main stage on Friday, Saturday and Sunday to hear nine unique bands play everything from party music to classic ‘Motown’.

Friday, aug. 10

Kellee BradleyFrom 6 to 7:30 p.m., Friday, Kellee Bradley takes the main stage to sing folk rock and pop. Having opened for artists like Chicago and John Mellencamp, Bradley has become well known in the Seattle music scene. Find out more and listen to her music at www.kelleebradle.com.The NinesIt’s sure to be a party scene from 8 to 9:30 p.m. Friday night when Seattle’s premier party band, The Nines, close out the night

with fun music that the whole family will love. Be ready to dance with the group, who plays anything party, from the ‘70s to current hits from artists like LMFAO.

Saturday, aug. 11

Left Hand SmokeLeft Hand Smoke is a neo-soul, rock band who play on Saturday from noon to 1:30 p.m. Left Hand Smoke became a favorite on KMTT 103.7 The Mountain, which helped them become a headliner act in the Northwest. Their sounds encompass everything from Bob Dylan and Van Morrison to James Brown and they have played with Pearl Jam, Maroon 5 and The Who, among many other popular musi-cians.Midnight RamblerMidnight Rambler will celebrate 50 years of Rolling Stones from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. The tribute band consists of David Christensen as Mick Jagger, Ciggy Carter on guitar as Keith Richards, Albert Ceccacci as Ronnie Wood, drum-mer Bruce Ericson as Charlie Watts,

Michael Horan on keyboards as Chuck Leavell, and Stu Gordon as bassist Bill Wyman.Fabulous Roof ShakersThe Fabulous Roof Shakers will be shak-ing the shack from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday with rockin’ blues, R & B and some classic rock. The group is composed of Bruce Koenigsberg, bass; Keith White, percussion; Perry Sanders, lead vocals and harmonica; Gordon Benson, baritone and alto saxophone; and Joe Lane, guitar and vocals.Black VelvetVocalist Christy McKinnon and guitarist Roger Keith Wheeler are the duo that call themselves Black Velvet, and who will be on the main stage Saturday 6 to 7:30 p.m., playing a selection of rock, pop and blues. The duo is not new to the festival, as they took part in the 2011 Festival at Mount Si as a part of the group Second Hand Newz, a Fleetwood Mac tribute band.Crawford & JamesAaron Crawford and Josh James bring country to the festival on Saturday from

8 to 9:30 p.m. The duo, Crawford and James, is the “brainchild” of a Seattle country radio disc jockey, who intro-duced them in late 2010. As their website reminds everyone, the pair is “undeniably country” and has a unique sound that will draw in the audience.

Sunday, aug. 12
