Sweet rides Hot Rods and Harleys roars to new location
Tom Knebel lounged in a shady spot as folks lined up to take shots of his cherry-red Model T hot rod, lovingly customized over the last three decades. This is his first hot rod; Knebel followed in the footsteps of his father to create the ride, which sports custom-car cartoon character stickers and a “BITE ME” license plate. “Every time I get it renewed, the women at the licensing department get a pretty big kick out of it,” he said. What’s it like driving the car? “When
it’s like this, it’s the best time in the world,” Knebel said, referring to the sunny day with its rare blue sky. Knebel was one of dozens of classic car buffs who arrive yearly to the Hot Rods and Harleys show at the Carnation Fourth of July. This year’s classic car show is Wednesday, July 4, at a new site, the parking lot of Carnation Elementary. Registration begins at 8 a.m., with judging starting at 10 a.m. and ending at 1:30 p.m. Entry is $20. To learn more or register, visit www.carnation4th.org/events.htm. Contestants will vie for a number of trophies and unique awards in varied categories. This year’s major sponsor is McFall Incorporated, a Carnation-based construction company.

Just Moo it Children and adults can pass, shoot and jam at the Just Moo it 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament, which returns Wednesday, July 4, following the grand parade, at Entwistle and McKinley Streets. The event was started by Matt Coltom, a local who wanted to incorporate sports and recreation for all ages into the festival. Divisions include adult men, co-ed, women 15 years and older; and youth (boys and girls) grades kindergarten through eighth grade. Teams will also have the choice to compete competitively or recreationally. Children are bracketed by grade in the upcoming school year. Tournament entry is $60 per team, with at least three but no more than four players on each roster. Each team member will receive a T-shirt. For more information or to sign up, visit www.carnation4th.org

Flying hooves, sumptuous costumes and festive music have been a part of Carnation’s Fourth of July celebration for years. The Ixtapa dancing horses are an annual tradition that makes this fiesta special. Horses are presented and ridden by the owners, family and friends of the Ixtapa chain of family Mexican restaurants and their affiliates. They continue a 400-year-old tradition of the local community and families working together to organize and hold a rodeo for the local Mexican cowboys, called charros. In these competitions, the charros would compete to display their skills in horsemanship, rope skills and cattle roping. These events were held not so much to declare a winner, but to give the entire community a part in the fiesta. Music has always played a large part in the fiesta, and the dancing horses became one of the most popular attractions. The dancing horses are also used in bullfights to entertain the crowd between bull fights and corral the bull if the bullfighter or rider falls or becomes injured. The horses are often Aztecas or Fresians, and are trained from a young age to dance. It can take years to train one to championship level. A quality, well-trained horse is a source of great pride to its owner, and as such, gets treated like a member of the family.

Eclectic musical line-up for Carnation 4th The Carnation Fourth of July offers two days of live music. The eclectic line-up includes Highway 203, Jeff Zuber, the Rockin’ the Blues Benefit Band, Felonious Monk, the Late Boomers, Redline and Renee Wolf, in live sets at three venues. Carnation 4th music includes: Tuesday • 6 p.m., Highway 203 at Tolt Commons Park Wednesday • Post-parade, Jeff Zuber at the Parade Stage • 4 p.m., Rockin’ the Blues Benefit Band, Tolt-MacDonald Park • 5:15 p.m., Felonious Monk at Tolt-MacDonald Park • 6 p.m., Late Boomers at Tolt-MacDonald Park • 7 p.m., Redline at Tolt-MacDonald Park • 10 p.m., Renee Wolf, to sing the national anthem.
Late Boomers
Keeping alive the rock traditions of yesterday is the style of The Late Boomers, who play at 5:15 p.m. at Tolt-MacDonald Park during the run-up to the big Fourth of July fireworks display. The band is the brainchild of guitarist and vocalist Steve Borquez. It’s his first real rock and roll band. “I pulled together musicians that I’ve been playing with for as many as 20 years and some that I’ve never played with,” he told the Record. All of the Late Boomers' music is original. “Our name pretty much gives away when our influences were forming,” Borquez said. “Except for one of us, we are boomers in our 50’s. So our style is born out of the late sixties and early seventies. You might say our style is rock, but I was listening to (jazz guitarist) Wes Montgomery on reel-to-reel tape machines back then, so you can’t deny him.” Their lineup includes Bill Buck on flute, mandolin and vocals. Buck grew up in upstate New York

Felonious Monk, in a competition concert this year. The youthful band is part of Carnation’s concert lineup. and moved to Seattle 30 years ago. A dad to four, both his parents were musicians, and Buck's been singing since age 2. Bass guitarist Tom Adair has played in numerous garage bands. Steve and Tom have been in the same original garage band “The Un-” since 1985. This band got together to write, record and play original music.They don’t play live, though, so he is happy to be with the Boomers. Joe Muharsky, on keyboards and vocals, is a sixyear resident of Washington, a longtime hobbyist musician, and is thrilled to be adding keys and harmonies to the Boomers. On drums and percussion is Joe Leonti, a California transplant who began playing drums in the Northwest back in the late 1970s. He worked with Chaka Kahn and Rufus in the early 1980s. A veteran of a number of progressive rock bands, Leonti's musical credits include performing in numerous musicals with Cascade Community Theater such as “To the Castle,” “Grease”, “Babes In Toyland” and most recently, “Surf’s Up.”
“We all have day jobs, our drummer is the only working musician and even he has to rise and shine with the rest of us,” Borquez said. “So we are drawn to making music out of a passion for it. I’m sure I can speak for all of us when I say that this project will end but we will come together again, in part or in whole, as new ones come along.” “I hope people are having a good time while we are up there doing our best to do the same,” he added. “If I can catch someone whistling the hook the next day, that would be cool.”
Highway 203 Local band Highway 203 performs an outdoor concert the day before the parade, 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, July 3, at Tolt Commons Park. The band is made up of Gary Wilson on guitars and vocals, Mike Davison with lead guitar and vocals, and Joe Leonti (also of the Late Boomers) on drums and percussion. See BAND, 15

Heart of the community
Summer of Shakespeare Everything gets mixed together in the Cascade Community Theatre’s upcoming production. Girls are taken for boys, identities are mistaken, twins are separated and reunited, and adults and youth alike combine for a funny, and fun-filled adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Twelth Night.” The show, premiering Tuesday, July 3, in Carnation’s Tolt Commons Park, has become an annual tradition and creative opportunity for the six year-old troupe. “Every summer we do Shakespeare,” said show director and co-writer Davin Henrikson. “It’s a way for us to have some fun writing stuff, too.” CCT members typically write the Shakespeare shows themselves, which saves on royalty costs, but also allows the company to create a custom show with actor input, local references and an appeal entirely its own. “We modernize it, condense some of the longer speeches, and throw in a lot of funny stuff,” said Henrikson. “It’s family-friendly, there’s no swearing or weird stuff. Kids love it, they really get a kick out of it.” Another huge benefit, Henrikson said, is “very purposefully, we make it low-tech, and low-cost.” Every showing of “Twelfth Night” is free to the public, but the group does ask for donations, to cover the costs of presenting the show every weekend in July. “Summer’s really tough for keeping a troupe of actors together who aren’t paid,” Henrikson explained, so the company decided to condense the schedule—the summer show has previously sprawled over two months—and double-cast many of the roles, to ensure they will always have a Viola and Orsino. Henrikson is also pleased that the cast includes “six or seven high school students, and we have two middle school students,” because CCT’s roots are in children’s drama. The group formed eight years ago to offer drama training in the middle school and elementary schools of Riverview School District. The adult troupe formed two years later, and the programs have enjoyed tremendous growth. Twelfth Night performances are scheduled for: Tuesday, July 3, 4:30 p.m. in Tolt Commons Park, Carnation Wednesay, July 4, 2:45 p.m. at Tolt MacDonald Park Saturday, July 7, at Bridle Trails Park in Kirkland Saturday, July 14, location TBD Saturday, July 21, at SandBlast in McCormick Park, Duvall Saturday, July 28, two shows at Kokopelli Gardens, Duvall • Learn more at www.cctplays.org.
Tasty, traditional eats for Fourth of July help seniors stay strong When you bite into that saucy spaghetti or sweet shortcake on the Fourth of July, you’re taking part in a more-than-20-year civic tradition of Carnation. The Sno Valley Senior Center’s iconic pre-Fourth Spaghetti Dinner and annual Strawberry Shortcake feed on the big day are both living legacies of this place’s ongoing mission of service.
At the center
642589
The center, located in the former Odd Fellows hall at 4610 Stephens Ave., has been a part of Carnation for decades. The center’s daily lunches, classes, dinners, games and activities, trips and Adult Day program all create a base of service that keeps people 50 to 90-plus active, healthy and independent in Carnation. “We inspire, support and empower seniors to live healthy, enriched lives,” said Senior Center Director Amara Oden. The center’s resources help seniors find resources and make social connections, from active, independent, younger seniors to those who are older, with more significant health issues. Seniors are a special generation, with many amazing stories to tell and experiences to share. They’re not ones to toot their own horn, though, Oden says. The best way to connect with this generation, and to be a part of a wider community, is simply to visit the center. This summer is a good time, as the center recently wrapped up a big remodel, which added a whole new level of space for classes and activities. The center holds special monthly dinners every month of the year, except July, August and December, and serves a regular lunch at noon, Monday through Friday.

Fourth of July fun The annual spaghetti feed, shortcake sales and quilt raffle are not just a great, colorful tradition for the Fourth. They’re also a significant fundraiser,

Above, the 2011 strawberry shortcake kitchen crew at Sno-Valley Senior Center: Louise Macri, Delores Ulrich, Margaret Denton, Barbara Haugen, Leslie Day, Brooke Badron and Doris Friday. Right, the finished product. and entirely volunteer run. Sales from these three fundraisers provide about $7,000 every year. “That enables us to keep our doors open,” Oden said, “keep relevant programs that are interesting to people. If we were to miss $7,000, it would cut into programs and services.” Far better, then, to keep the traditional Fourth of July feasts, and the hungry visitors, coming. The meals are Valley affairs. Part of the reason they’re a success is that many ingredients come from local businesses and farms. The beef, veggies, coffee, dairy products and strawberries themselves all are donated. These traditions have been kept alive for more than a generation thanks to volunteers of all ages taking part. Members “really become interested in giving back,” Oden said. Because it’s so vital, “they don’t tend to wait around for people to fill those roles. The center benefited from 22,000 hours of volunteerism in 2010. “We have generations of fami-
lies who volunteer here,” Oden said. “People find out about us. It’s a positive place to be.” The feeds are also a great way to introduce the center to new people, of all ages. “We get a huge amount of people who come through our doors” during the holiday, Oden said. Sno Valley Senior Center is a “very intergenerational place,” she added. “It’s one of the things that makes this place special. People who have a set idea about what it’s like to go into a senior center are greeted with a whole different idea when they see people working in the kitchen, serving their food. It’s a reminder that seniors are not just one particular way.” And that the senior center is not only serving the very old, it’s something that they might want to come back and take part in themselves, from renting the space or taking part in more activities. “I’m excited to open our doors to the community,” Oden said.

Carnation’s fireworks finale Wednesday night may not be the most elaborate display celebrating Independence Day, but it’s one of the coolest. “You guys have a phenomenal site, and you’re able to utilize the wide variety of products, which are often the newer items,” said Heather Gobet of Western Display Fireworks, which produces Carnation’s fireworks show every year. Because the city’s annual spectacle is set off in Tolt-MacDonald Park, with plenty of space to keep both audiences and obstacles at a safe distance, the pyrotechnicians in charge can create a display that dazzles, even at the relatively low price of $6,000. “They are phenomenal to work with,” says Carnation 4th chairperson Kim Lisk. Western, a family business since 1948 when Oregon herb farmers trading in cash-strapped China first accepted fireworks as payment, has put on Carnation’s fireworks show for years. The process for putting on the 300-plus shows they’ll do on July 4 actually starts the previous August, Gobet said, when Western orders next year’s products. Things pick up speed through the writing and design of each show, meetings with sponsors, and the development of proposals. Carnation received its proposal back in January. The final few months are taken up with finalizing permits, ordering insurance certificates — all of Western’s shows are covered by a million-dollar policy — and identifying the equipment needed for each production. For Carnation’s 20-minute show, the equipment is mainly the dozens of high-density polyethylene mortars needed to launch the fireworks shells. “Every burst that you see in the sky, we have to have a mortar for that,” she said. A crew of about five pyrotechnicians, wearing firefighter turnout gear and motorcycle helmets, are needed to do Carnation’s show. They typically use road flares to set off fireworks, although a larger event might call for computerized ignition. The pyrotechnicians are all trained and licensed, Gobet said, and they come from all walks of life. “We have doctors, we have lawyers,” said Gobet, listing some of the many professions that their part-time crews actually make their livings in. Gobet, also a licensed pyrotechnician, explained that few fireworks experts can actually sustain themselves on that line of work alone. For many of them, the Fourth of July is their day to indulge in a hobby that’s both work and play.

Out of the
Past Bring your hunger to the Cowpie Eating Contest, held during the Tuesday, July 3, pre-Fourth celebrations in Carnation. Three different age groups can test their stomach-stretching skills, devouring the Cowpie from Lazy K’s Pizza and Pasta in Carnation—a warm cookie the size of a small plate, and a popular dessert item at the restaurant. The contest starts at 5:30 p.m. at Tolt Commons Park. Children will race to see who can eat Cowpies the fastest. For each age group, the grand prize is a family day pass donated by Remlinger Farms. In the finale, the grand prize for the fastest boy and girl eaters is a $100 gift certificate to Lazy K’s. Each contestant wins a free Cowpie with a dinner purchase. Ixtapa retaurant also provided kids meal gift certificates for runners up. All proceeds from the $10 entry fee go to the Carnation Fourth of July Committee to help continue the celebration.

Carnation celebrated the nation’s bicentennial with the Carnation Freedom Festival, which turned out to be one of the biggest July Fourth celebrations the town has seen in a long time. The weather cooperated and so did the crowds. About 3,000 people lined the streets to watch the parade.
This year’s Fourth of July celebration in Carnation will be bigger and better than before, with more events planned in town. Like last year, the Western Shows Carnival will be in town from Friday, June 30, through the Fourth. Along with the annual parade, everyone is invited to enjoy live music, square dancing,
and many other events leading to the always spectacular fireworks display.
Thursday, July 9, 1970 Every parade should have a beauty queen. Serving very well in Carnation was Phyllis Durand, waving from Thora’s Beauty Shop limousine. She’s part-time beauty queen, fulltime operator at Thora’s.

BANDS FROM 11 Wilson started playing guitar at age 7, inheriting a love of music from his grandfather and uncle. He has continued to play all his life. Wilson moved to the Valley 23 years ago, raising his son here. “As he neared high school graduation I found that I had more time on my hands and that I could now commit the time necessary to play with organized bands,” Wilson said. “I have been fortunate to have been able to play in a few area bands with several talented local musicians, and enjoy entertaining people in the local area.” Davison has a studio in Duvall, where he teaches guitar and drums. He's performed in many bands, playing classic rock and blues.

What’s special about the Carnation Fourth?
“It’s very patriotic. It seems like a lot of people come together, from all over, to be in the parade. There’s a lot of different cultures in the parade. It’s fun for a small town to get such a big turnout.” -Michelle Grant Organizer, Hot Rods and Harleys show.
Carnation’s annual Fourth of July celebration will get off to a running start with the Run for the Pies 5K run/walk through downtown, a fun and unique event that gets bigger and better every year. The race begins at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, moving from the streets of Carnation to the Snoqualmie River and new ToltMacDonald 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. The Run for the Pies is part of the Snoqualmie Valley Cup, four races held in Duvall, Fall City, Carnation and Snoqualmie between May and July. Run for the Pies 5K registration forms are available to download from www.carnation4th.org

After spending time with friends and family, the five musicians of Felonious Monk will step on the stage to perform at Carnation's Fourth of July celebration. Ben Parrish on guitar, Taylor Cramer on saxophone, Zach Malek on bass, Parker Malek on vibraphone, and Dan Marroni on drums form the Duvall fusion band that calls itself Felonious Monk. Thelonious Monk, a jazz pianist and composer, is considered a great of American jazz and is the inspiration for the Duvall band name. Formed in 2011 for a cover show, the group is now known by many from their two years at the Cedarcrest High School Battle of the Bands. They returned this April to take grand prize, beating their 2011 second place finish. Each musician is very involved with music. Parrish said that they are focused on their music “individually, and for the group as a whole.” Parrish will be studying jazz next fall at the University of Northern Colorado. Cramer, a Cedarcrest senior, performs in the renowned Bellevue College Jazz Band. Brothers Zach and Parker Malek attend the University of Washington; Zach is a physics major and music minor, and Parker is an atmospheric science major. Marroni attended Bellevue College in the past and works there now as a recording and sound engineer. Parrish said they have grown together to “become a complex entity of colorful and original sounds.”
Lynell, Jenny, Jewell, Riley, Sam, Sarah, Heidi, and Alex are all smiling because they each received a $1500 college scholarship from Kiwanis. When you buy fireworks from Kiwanis, you are investing in your kids, their future and your community. Visit our fireworks stands, June 28 - July 4th in Snoqualmie and North Bend.
