Tunes for the Fourth

Crafty time at vendor village Visitors to the Carnation Fourth of July can find eats, treats and everything fun under the sun at the Vendor Village, back for a fourth year at Tolt Commons.

The vendor park is located at Tolt Avenue and Bird Street.

People can find food, as well as stands selling items by area artisans and merchants, from T-shirts to planters, wind chimes and sand art.

The children’s area typically includes a bounce house and pony rides. Children’s bingo is available for 25 cents a card, or 50 cents for three.

In past years, vendors were scattered along the main drag. The village was created two years ago.

Mainstage features crowd-pleasing rock, funk, singersongwriters, and a dash of Shakespeare

By Valley Record Staff

Entertainment on the main stage for Carnation’s 4th of July celebration starts with one big man, and ends with a bigname band. Singer-songwriter Jeff Zuber (www.biginduvall. com) starts off the afternoon with a solo show of covers and his own musical “tall tales and short stories,” and the evening finishes with Redline, an ensemble of rock-and-rollers from classic Northwest bands, doing danceable songs from the 50s through the 80s.

Every act has a Valley connection, too. Zuber lives in Duvall, naturally, and the Cascade Community Theatre troupe that follows him with their adaptation of “Merry Wives of Windsor” is based in Carnation and Duvall.

Monday’s music starts at 4 p.m. with Jeff Zuber on guitar, playing what he calls “contemporary singer-songwriter-type stuff.”

That could include some covers of songs that are really meaningful to him, and a few

of his original compositions, which he started writing in 1971. He’s written songs about the Duvall Farmers Market where he often plays, about his memories of reading all the Harry Potter books with his daughter, about the Cascade Community Theatre troupe he occasionally appears in, and about life in the Valley in general.

The race begins at 8:30 a.m.

Monday, moving from the streets of Carnation to the Snoqualmie River and new Tolt-MacDonald park trail system.

First, second and third place winners in each age division win a fresh pie from Carnation’s own Remlinger Farms. Other prizes are awarded to random finishers.

City comes together for grand parade Salute the colors at the 2011 Carnation Fourth of July parade, themed “It’s a Grand Old Flag” The parade gets started with the traditional children’s parade, at 10:30 a.m. down Tolt Avenue. All children are welcome, and are asked to meet with decorated bikes and wagons, or just their smiling selves, across from QFC for the start of the parade. Children march in opposite direction of the main parade, bikes up front so they don’t bump into anybody.

The main parade follows at 11 a.m. This year, the board of the Snoqualmie Valley Preservation Alliance will judge the parade. They rank entries on a scale of 1 to 5, and winners receive ribbons.

Sign-in starts at 8 a.m. and entrants need to arrive by 10 a.m. The start area is at Tolt Congregational Church.

Public works earn marshal honors

says. The city had its own garbage dump for a while, so he was a sanitation worker; it has its own water system, so he’s maintained and mapped that; it added a wastewater treatment plant in 2008, so he’s certified in running that plant, too. “I got all the bugs worked out of it, and then I retired,” he jokes. He’s also been a drain installer, pipe layer, tree trimmer, park mower, curb painter, flower planter, and holiday light hanger.

Gilbertson was famous for his enthusiasm in decorating

Retired Carnation worker to lead parade

BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter

When Bob Gilbertson started working for the city of Carnation 30 years ago, he says a car went down the main street, Tolt Avenue, every five minutes or so.

“Now, the cars don’t stop,” he said, watching the traffic from the deck of Sandy’s Espresso.

He doesn’t miss much from his perch. “There’s the cop again, now he’s going the other way,” Gilbertson says, sipping his drink.

With his straight talk and long history in the community, Gilbertson is the complete Carnation local, and a good choice to be the grand marshal of the Carnation 4th of July parade next week.

Gilbertson came to the city

the city for the holidays. A city proclamation honoring him on his retirement last October made note of how “his annual arrangement of the holiday lights has added much festivity to the downtown area.”.

Last year was the first time in decades Gilbertson didn’t decorate the park, and he admits that he misses that task, but he doesn’t regret retiring.

“You work 30 years at one job, and it’s time,” he said. Also, he’s glad that his retirement gave another person, “the lady at the bank’s son,” a job.

Retired Carnation city employee Bob Gilbertson keeps an eye on the community from his regular coffeeshop table. with his family in 1968, graduated from Tolt High School in 1970—”Yeah, I’m a Demon,” he says—and found his way back to Carnation after a tour of duty in Germany and a few years working in Alaska and Oregon.

“There’s nothing like home,” he said, his explanation for how he came back to Carnation.

There, he raised two sons with his first wife, and after a stint as a riveter at Boeing, he joined the city of Carnation’s Public Works Department.

“John Aronica was my old boss, and we worked together for 27 years,” he said.

Gilbertson recalls that his work at Boeing was so interesting, he might have still been there if not for the cyclical rounds of layoffs and rehires.

He is proud to have worked on various planes, mainly 727s, but also 707s, and AWACS planes, “just like I’m proud of my work at the city,” he added.

“I like the small town atmosphere, and the variety of jobs that you do.”

Since starting with Carnation Public Works Oct. 6, 1980, Gilbertson has done pretty much everything there is to do in a two-man shop.

“You name it, I’ve done it,” he

Car show highlights custom vehicles, longtime sponsor

BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter

John Petree will let the experts track how many years Carnation has highlighted hot rods and Harleys during its July 4 festivities. The important thing for him is that it’s still going on after 16 years.

“There’s a lot of talent in the Valley here... a lot of these guys are working as designers and engineers, and doing this in their spare time. People need to see it,” he said by telephone last week.

That talent is on display every Independence Day in Carnation, at the custom car and bike show, Hot Rods and Harleys. This year, Petree’s second as coordinator, the show has also been opened up to custom 4-by-4’s. As long as it’s custom, it’s welcome at the show.

“This is going to be interesting,” says Petree, looking at the list of 30 pre-registered vehicles. “I’ve got an ‘08 Mustang that is one of a kind.” There’s also an articulated Ford Bronco “that is just unbelievable,” a ‘66 Dart, a truggy (truck/buggy combo), a ‘62 Impala, and a 1917 T-bucket.

“There’s going to be some cool cars, but I haven’t heard too much from the Rat Rodders,” he sighed.

The H & H Ladies from left, Amy Bomar, Melanie Smith, and Michelle Petree, are promoting both the Hot Rods & Harleys & 4x4s show this year, and a fund raiser for colon cancer research during the Carnation 4th of July celebration.

The rat rod, he explains, is one of the original hot rods, built in the ‘30s, mainly of parts from other cars.

“You could think of it as a green car,” he said.

You could also think, with Petree’s interest in custom cars, that he’s an annual exhibitor in Hot Rods and Harleys. Truth is, he’s been a spectator only until last year. The 4th of July committee was struggling to find a new coordinator for the show, and time was running out.

“It was April and they were still looking for someone to promote the show,” Petree said, so he volunteered.

He refers to the 2010 show a lot as a “learning experience,” and adds “This year I’m actually prepared for this kind of thing!”

He started working on the show in

January, planning for more and different ways of promoting of the show.

One of his visions was an old-fashioned pin-up poster featuring “the H&H Ladies,” as they called themselves. The girls got into ‘50s-style costumes and character, and photographer Hannah Marie Schmaley photographed them in a classic car warehouse, Jim Green’s Performance Center in Monroe.

“If you like pastel colors and old hot rods, that’s where you go to walk around and let your jaw just drop,” Petree said.

The photos were turned into heavy, glossy posters that have been distributed throughout the Puget Sound Area.

Petree was excited to tell one of the show’s main sponsors, Pete’s

Club Grill owner Don Lovett, about his plans for the posters early on this year, and he got the response he wanted “Oh, awesome!”

He had a great working relationship with Lovett. “We agreed on everything,” Petree said. “It was just a meeting of the minds, and then he passed away.”

Lovett died in April, a year after his diagnosis of colon cancer, making this year’s show special to Petree.

“It is and it isn’t a memorial,” he said.

Some aspects of the show, like the Pete’s “goody bag” with limited edition T-shirts and other things every car guy needs, and the H&H Ladies offers to pose with exhibitors’ vehicles for a donation to colon cancer research, are being done in memory of Lovett, who was an avid supporter of the show every year.

If there was any doubt that Pete’s would continue sponsoring the show, Lovett’s wife Karen Marie dispelled them immediately.

“He passed away on Friday or Saturday, and Monday night, I received a phone call,” Petree said.

Marie, still grieving, was on the line.

“And she said, ‘John, this is what Don wanted. Don’t stop.’ So I was motivated—out of my way, this is going to get done!”

The 2011 show promises to be much bigger than last year’s, which showcased 60 cars. The cars and bikes will be on display from noon to 4 p.m. in the Bank of America parking lot, 4760 Tolt Avenue, Carnation. Judging will be done by 1:30 p.m. and awards will be handed out at 2:30 p.m.

Bring your hunger to the Cowpie Eating Contest, held during the Sunday, July 3, celebrations in Carnation.

Different age groups can test their stomach-stretching skills, devouring the Cowpie—a warm cookie the size of a small plate, and a popular dessert item at Lazy K’s Pizza and Pasta in Carnation.

“It’s like three cookies put in one,” said Daniel, a cook at Lazy K’s.

The contest starts at 5:30 p.m. at Tolt Commons Park.

Younger children race to see who can eat one the fastest; Older entrants compete to see how many they can devour in minutes.

The winner gets one Cowpie a week from Lazy K’s for a year. Every participant gets a free one.

“I wanted to do something for the community that could be the beginning of a new tradition,” said Lazy K’s owner Kirsten Burt.

All proceeds from the $10 entry fee go to the Carnation Fourth.

The term, he explained, started as a joke with a friend, who wanted to know if he’d ever play anywhere but Duvall or Carnation. He’d told his friend that he liked the Valley, and was happy to stay here.

“I think it’s a wonderful thing to be big in Duvall,” he

Felonious Monk takes the stage at 5:45 p.m., with a sound as out-of-the-ordinary as their name. “It’s a kind of play on the jazz pianist Thelonious Monk,” guitarist Ben Parrish explained.

That Monk is among a diverse group of musicians to influence this Monk.

“We play kind of a funky jazz-fusion style, with guitar, bass, vibraphone and drums,” said Parrish. Their music has been called a blend of funk, new wave jazz and bossa nova, or just plain “funkalicious.”

The group claimed second place in the April 23 Battle of the Bands at Cedarcrest High School—a school most of the members have since graduated from—and were noted for actually helping the winners, Skam, to take the top prize.

In a contest that took crowd response into account for a band’s overall score, the members of Felonious Monk, after their own performance, led the dancing to Skam’s winning set.

Band members include Zach Schutte on bass, Parker Malek on vibraphone, and Sim Hill on drums.

James Hurley, up next, was recently named “One of the Top Ten Live Acoustic Male Singer-Songwriters in L.A.” by Folkworks magazine. Hurley’s style of jazz, blues, pop and folk music was created by a lifelong love of music that survived accordian lessons, drum lessons, and guitar lessons from an older brother.

His influences include the sounds of his early school years —Paul Revere and the Raiders, Donovan—and the classic country singers.

Redline closes out the musical lineup, followed by the fireworks at dusk.
