A good week’s work Youth band camp preps musicians for Festival parade

By 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 captures 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-summer camp, led by Mount Si bandleader and music teacher Adam

Rupert, is an opportunity for students to try something new.

“This is a fun week, doing something 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 contest

By Seth Truscott Editor

Brenna Schoultz, owner of Pet Place Market, admits that she shares some similarities with Sylar, her toy Manchester terrier (and store mascot). The North Bend business is registering owners and their pets for a lookalike contest, as part of the Festival at Mount Si.

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.”

For Dental Implant Treatment, it’s a ClearChoice!

ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fits 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 difficult 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.

They said they had specialists, a lab, and high tech equipment all at one location, but I had no idea that they could really do all of this in just one day!* — Actual ClearChoice patient

The people’s chili

Duck race helps burn camp The 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 sponsors the Duck Derby as a vehicle for raising funds for local charities. 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 maximum 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.

Simmering 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 bubbling 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 member and 2012 Festival at Mount Si Grand Marshall Nels Melgaard.

That special creation won second place in the judge’s contest, but took the firstplace 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.

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.

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.

Grand Marshals, then and now

Nels 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 volunteer 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 past Look back on past Festival grand marshals from recent years, and a generation ago: Five years ago Mount 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 ago Back 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 ago In 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.

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 residents and their animals. That’s why she’s organizing a dogand-owner look-alike contest, part of the pet events at this weekend’s Festival at Mount Si. “We’ve got a lot of customers who look like their pets, even though they don’t know it,” Schoultz said. “So we decided to change things up a little bit.”

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

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 marching band experience, parade entry, and a T-shirt. Also, if they continue their tradition, an award from the parade.

Counting 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, helping people with some of the same issues I had,” she says, “helping them gain knowledge and teaching them that there’s more to a dog than just being a dog.”
