Welcome to Chewelah’s Chataqua!

“It’s What Makes the Town Go Round”

From the Mayor W

elcome to Chewelah and welcome back to those who have visited us in the past! We are honored that you chose to spend this week-end helping us celebrate our community.

You will note some changes happening or about to happen around town: new track under construction at the football field just North of the city; bids are out for new sidewalks on both sides of Hwy 395 South of King Street; considering a splash pad in the City Park; nearing completion of the initial stages of our Performing Arts center on 3rd Street East; and much more.

We hope you will visit our downtown area and take in the beautiful flowers. This is an effort of the City and Chamber of Commerce working together for our community.

We are a community of friendly people..whatever your interests, there is something in or around Chewelah to draw you: golfing, skiing, Chewelah Casino, camping, horseback riding, hiking, biking, walking, running, hunting, ATV riding, fishing, boating or other water activities; or just relaxing…it’s #SimplyChewelah, one of the Jewels of the Northwest!

New acts join 44th Chataqua festival C

hataqua has some more new acts to share with old and new people. at its 44th event. Local and out-ofarea acts will take CenterStage for the marquee community event in the city park. Everyday of the festival will be jam-packed with performers from all genres and tastes.

Returning for the second year is Chris Rieser & the Nerve performing Thursday 8-10 p.m. They’ve been performing together for over 14 years.

Friday night has a new headliner this year - It’s Overdrive Kirkland - a high-energy, classic rock band that will surely have you up on your feet.

Also new to Chataqua Friday will be Checkmate Reality. Friday will also feature other local performers with Savannah Blain (an upcoming singer and songwriter) and Spectra (coffeehouse jazz and blues) along with the Robbie Walden Band also returning for the second year.

Saturday brings back returning Chataqua favorites: Kevin Wolfe with his magic and hypnosis act intended for all ages; Coeurimba - described as Marimba: energetic music with a soul; and the Steven County Stompers.

Saturday also introduces another new act: The Powers and 33 1/3 (formerly known as Rocksanity).

Then the Kelly Hughes Band, featuring high energy country music, will close out Saturday as they’ve done for many years.

Midnight Run will be kicking off Sunday and The Sara Brown Band will conclude the event at 2:30 p.m.

But of course Chataqua isn’t just about the entertainment. The parade, the carnival, the rides, the food, the vendors, beer garden, fun run, golf

tournament, children’s art activities, and much more draw people from near and far to enjoy a once a year tradition in our lovely small-town park.

Ranked as the third largest event of its kind in the state of Washington, Chewelah and Chataqua continues to attract over 50,000 visitors to this fun festival for folks of all ages.

For those in Chewelah, the festival begins on Chewelah Day (Thursday) where the carnival is open in the evening, along with some limited food and craft vendors, and some great local performers take the stage.

Chewelah Chataqua is an updated version of an American tradition established at Lake Chautauqua, New York, in 1874. Every summer, thousands flocked to the Chautauqua grounds to hear and see lecturers, musicians, artists, actors, explorers, evangelists, poets and presidents. It became so successful, that traveling Chautauqua set out by rail to

bring this unique form of entertainment to the nation’s hinterlands. Huge tents were set up and the programs lasted ten days and nights. President Teddy Roosevelt once declared, “Chautauqua is the most American thing in America!”

The New York site continues to draw thousands of visitors to the compound each summer.

Community Celebrations adopted the concept of Chautauqua for Chewelah in 1974, simplified the spelling of the name to Chataqua, and condensed the entertainment to three and one half days.

Chewelah Chataqua is a community event presented by Community Celebrations Inc. a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Every year the Chataqua Event and the Chewelah City Park are host to over 50,000 guests. It takes many dozens of volunteers to keep the four day festival moving happily along. If you are interested in helping with this great event please contact Community Celebrations at the address below: CONTACT US: Community Celebrations PO Box 501 Chewelah WA, 99109 (509) 935-8991 (message) chataquavendors@gmail.com See our website for detailed information: www.chewelahchataqua.com

Our History A small group of Chewelah area residents joined together in 1974 to assist “Rainbow“ Emily Touraine, a nationally recognized artist specializing in Native American themes, bring to Chewelah a display of Native American relics, art and ceremonial costumes.

The event generated considerable interest and participation by local tribal members and non Indian artists in the area.

The Chewelah group which had formed in 1974 decided to incorporate as a non-profit organization and develop a Bicentennial celebration for southern Stevens County.

The name Community Celebrations was chosen and in 1975 the organization filed Articles of Incorporation with the Washington Secretary of State.

Community Celebrations also filed for non-profit status with the Department of Internal Revenue and received the IRS 501-C3 designation late in 1975.

Members of the Chewelah Chamber of Commerce surprised Heidi Zornes during one of her fitness classes early Tuesday morning, June 20, with the news of her award. Many students and friends were there to congratulate her. Jared Arnold photo

By Brandon Hansen The Independent Staff When she learned that she was this year’s Honored Citizen of Chewelah, Heidi Zornes was teaching a class, something she’s done quite a bit of since she and husband, Dick, moved to the valley nine years ago.

“The greatest gift a teacher can give is to be a difference maker,” Susan Schlatter wrote in a letter nominating Zornes as the Citizen of the year. “Heidi Zornes is just that. She has changed lives of a countless many; she has served as the inspiration for people to live well, be healthy and to embrace fitness for life.”

Zornes’ fitness classes started out as a small endeavour when she first moved here. As a certified personal trainer, Zornes figured she could do some one-onone sessions with people. Spokane Community College wanted to branch out into Chewelah, however, with “Act 2” classes to enrich the lives of older adults and asked Zornes to teach a fitness class.

It started small with a group of ten but has since grown to several classes and 150 people that learn from Zornes and other instructors.

“The program quickly outgrew the space at the Senior Center,” Faye Ehlis wrote in a letter. “Heidi is a true artist in her field. Heidi stresses to everyone to be mindful of our physical capability and to exercise safely. Her leadership demonstrates care and precision in each move and offers safe options for each of her students.”

Zornes said she first became interested in fitness in college when she was dating her husband, Dick, who was a football player. Dick played safety and cornerback See HONORED CITIZEN Page 23

Chris Rieser & The Nerve

180 Proof Rock. Chris Rieser and The Nerve have been performing for over 14 years. Members include Rick Lillemon, Joe Oliver & Chris Rieser. Performing rock together for over 14 year this group gets you up and moving.

Friday, July 14 | 8-11 p.m.

Overdrive Kirkland READY TO ROCK WITH OVERDRIVE? If you LOVE Overdrive, then we are asking you to declare your love, well at least declare your LIKE...

Hah, like us on Facebook and all kinds of great things happen for you. First of all, all of your Facebook friends and page trolls will see just how cool you are when they check out your favorite bands. Secondly, you will get something to let you know about our upcoming shows. Finally, we are giving away rocking band t-shirts all summer long to our fans.

Something you can explain to your grandkids when they want to know about the Stones, and the Beatles, and OVERDRIVE!!!

Overdrive is a high-energy, classic rock band that will surely have you up on your feet.

Barry Markey, Charlie Arcuri, Daniel Moore, Daniel Grant, Steve Magennis, Wendy Janca, Michael Greene, Sean Davis, Heather McLennand, Alex Fong, Katie Shea, Ted Cooke Most of us have been playing music together for many years. We all have a long history of entertaining audiences. We bring many different influences and genres to the group.

We’ve been in other bands and have done years of shows. We’re all grown-ups now. We aren’t what the teens have on their ipods and we aren’t trying to be. We all have families, homes, kids, day jobs and full lives. We all earn our livings in business and technology. We pursue our passion for music with Overdrive.

We love to sing, dance, entertain and perform every bit as much as you love a great show. We get energized in front of a crowd and are thrilled to bring an event to life. We do it for the love of entertaining. It’s just not possible to do it for the pay. When you think about it, the years spent learning to be a great musician, along with the rehearsals, time spent loading in, setting up, performing and loading out, the cost of a live band would be prohibitive. We often arrive and perform for a fee similar to what you would pay just to rent the PA and lighting system we set up. It is truly somethig we do for the love of live music.

T

The Kelly Hughes Band

his is country/rock at its best! Whether it’s a driving up-tempo arrangement or a “someone done me wrong” song, this group from State Line is one hot bunch of pickers and grinners. Their three-hour show will be the closing act on Saturday night.

Kelly says it’s “knee-slappin’ fun. Sing along and dance on the grass.”

Sunday, July 16 | 2:30-4:30 p.m.

The Sara Brown Band

S

ara Brown, a small-town redhead from Stevens County, packs each track with her signature power-house vocal style, but also displays subtle nuance and versatile stylizations as the unique mood of each song demands. “Don’t mess with a redhead from Stevens County.” The proof is in the album cover photo where Sara stands, flanked by her band, in front of a vintage automobile, clutching a .44 Magnum and a Shure 55 classic microphone. Their album features screamin’ guitar solos by Dave Keeley, infectious grooves by drummer and bassist, Brendan Cesaratto, and Jesse Brown, and colorful interjections by trombonist/keyboardist, Brent Purvis. As the festival and concert season draws near, the band is excited to welcome versatile guitarist, Mellad Abeid into their sound.

Mellad has played everything from traditional Irish music, to jazz, country, and rock. When it comes time to rip on a hardcore blues, Mellad can really bring the house down.

Brendan Cesaratto has a vast experience as a drummer and percussionist and has even served our Country while entertaining the troops in the MidEast as a former member of the Air National Guard Band. Classically trained as a trombonist in college, Brent Purvis picked up the keys and transformed his musical passion into blues and jazz. Brent seamlessly switches between the two instruments giving the band a unique timbre. When the full band isn’t on stage, Jesse and Sara Brown are busily composing the bulk of the band’s tunes. They also might be found performing as the husband and wife duo, “Rusty & Ginger.” Whether singing harmony, strumming the guitar or laying down a bass line, Jesse is known throughout the region as an excellent musician. Sara’s voice is one of the most recognizable and sought after in the Inland Northwest. Elegantly dressed and always flashing her amazing shoes, Sara’s stage presence is engaging and her genuine love and care for her fans is always on display.

avannah is a young upcoming singer and songwriter who draws her influences from such artists as Amy Winehouse, ZZ Ward and Adele. Her voice is only to be described as soulful with a wide dynamic range, including very intimate emotions sung with every note.

She has been performing publicly since the age of nine. She’s sung “The National Anthem” for various well known sporting events such as The Spokane Indians AA baseball team, The Spokane Chiefs professional hockey team, and the Fresno Grizzlies (SF Giant’s AAA organization,) and has sung for the Special Olympics Unified Relay Across America. She has recently completed tracking her debut EP album “Along The Way,” recorded with twotime Grammy Award winning producer, Justin Armstrong, at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, Washington. She wrote and composed all songs on the album. Savannah says she feels so blessed to have had so many talented musicians that contributed to the production of her EP album, (which she worked on for eight months prior to its release.) One of these musicians, Phil Petersen, who is a world renowned cellist, featured on track 2 and 3 of her album. He’s composed songs for P!nk, Owl City, Lupe Fiasco, Ed Sheeran, Flo Rida, Gym Class Heroes, Adam Levine (Maroon 5) and Christina Perrie, just to name a few.

She has gained wide recognition in the summer 2015 issue of The Vocalist Magazine. At just 19 years old, Savannah is already making a name for herself.

With influences such as Randy Rogers Band, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Gary Allen, Walden’s Music pleasantly surprises listeners with his distinctive, unexpected vocals and poetic, vintage outlaw songwriting that expresses his inner strength, dedication, witty sense of humor, and personal heartbreak.

The Parade (City Hall) on Clay St. and East 3rd. (See Map).

The Parade starts at 10 a.m. Pre-registration prior to parade day is appreciated, but not required.

On arrival at the staging area, have one person from your party register with the Parade Registrar at the corner of Webster and 2nd St. East to obtain a number and placement in the parade. Once you have been assigned a number and directed to your staging locations, please get your float, car, group, horses, logging truck (whatever) to its proper location as quickly as possible. Private cars must be removed from the area. Ask the Parade Registrar helpers for proper (non-tow away) areas in which passengers or support vehicles may be parked.

The annual Chataqua parade will roll through beautiful downtown Chewelah on Saturday morning, July 15, beginning at 10 a.m. Floats, classic cars, commercial trucks, marching and mounted units, and many others will all be on display to entertain the crowds. Be sure to get your favorite spot early and, after the parade, be sure to visit the unique downtown shops. Parade awards will be presented in the park on CenterStage at 1 p.m.

PARKING INFORMATION Parking anywhere along the parade route is prohibited after 6 a.m. on Saturday morning.

(Please refer to Parade Route Map) Improperly parked and/or unattended vehicles will be towed at the owner’s expense. Once a tow truck has been dispatched, a towing fee will be charged.

Prior to 10 a.m., customers needing to make necessary pick ups from Main Street businesses will be allowed access by the traffic patrol person at the intersection of Main and East Fifth Street.

Vehicles must be off the street by 10 a.m.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR PARADE ENTRIES Throwing anything, including candy, from vehicles or floats towards the parade watchers is strictly prohibited to prevent children from dashing out into the street. Candy may be handed out by person(s) walking close to curbs.

Please be careful rounding corners. The parade route has some sharp turns and spectators, especially kids, tend to crowd into the street.

Parade winners will be announced at CenterStage at 12:45 p.m., following the parade. Please contact Kerry Summers at chewelahparade@ gmail.com.

PARADE PARTICIPATION Everyone is welcome to submit an application in the Chataqua Parade. Line up starts at 8 a.m. in the staging area adjacent to the Municipal Center

Near CenterStage!

The Beer Garden is a shady place for adults (age 21 and over) to enjoy visiting with friends and sipping some suds while catching the entertainment on CenterStage.

The Beer Garden is operated by Community Celebrations in strict compliance with Washington State Liquor Control Board rules and regulations.

WSLCB restrictions on over-serving will be fairly, but firmly enforced.

The proceeds from the Beer Garden partially offset the cost of entertainment on CenterStage.

We ask for your cooperation in following WSLCB rules: 1. Serving intoxicated patrons (over-serving) is prohibited.

2. Every person on the premises or seeking entry is required to have ID on their person to verify age identity.

3. After ID has been checked by security, a mark will be stamped on the hand allowing that person to leave and re-enter without having to check their ID again. The mark must be plainly visible.

4. Beer or wine or any other beverage may not be handed over the fence or carried into or out of the beer garden in any kind of container.

very year the Chewelah Golf and Country Club hosts an annual 2-Man Best Ball-Scramble golf tournament during Saturday and Sunday of the Chataqua Festival.

For the 2017 tournament, 2-Man Best Ball is on Saturday, July 15 and the 2-Man Scramble is on Sunday, July 16.

Call the pro shop at 509-935-6807 for more information or visit www. chewelahgolf.com.

The Chewelah Golf & Country Club is a 27-hole facility open to the public. The beautifully maintained course is designed to challenge golfers of all ability levels.

Scenic views and glimpses of abundant wildlife are extra benefits.

An RV park is adjacent to the course and includes modern laundry facilities and showers. Three tennis courts and the

driving range are all within a short walk.

The only 27-hole course in the region, the combination of both a nine and eighteen-hole venue has golfers raving about the versatility of the facility.

The well designed fairways, traps, water hazards and greens are proving to be a major attraction for golfers from throughout the Inland Northwest.

Another major attraction is the beautiful clubhouse and the Rusty Putter restaurant and lounge. Every conceivable amenity has been included for golfers and non-golfers. The clubhouse has been the site for many large area functions and serves that purpose nicely. For informations on clubhouse availability and reservations, call 509-935-6807.

Honored Citizen

Heidi said. “The town was exactly what we were looking for and the valley is just gorgeous. I’m a people person and it’s a really vibrant community and it keeps getting more vibrant after the nine years that we’ve lived here.”

Heidi has helped the town become more energetic. In a letter nominating Zornes for Citizen of the Year, Geraldine Holz said “she is educating citizens on the importance of health and fitness and has been dedicated in doing just that for the Chewelah community for many years.”

The blinkers on cars heading east on Webster to go to the Civic Center at 6:45 a.m. for Zornes’ classes never go away in the winter, spring, fall or summer.

“What’s going on at that time of morning that brings 20-24 cars loaded with exercise balls, weights and yoga mats into town?,” Jonni Graybeal wrote.

“She has motivated dozens of Chewelah citizens toward better health and fitness.”

Zornes said it was wonderful to see classes continue to grow in size.

So much so that they now are held at the Civic Center, the St. Mary’s of the

for Eastern Washington State College (now known as Eastern Washington University) in Cheney and moved into coaching afterwards.

“He was always setting up weight programs where he went,” Heidi said.

“Someone encouraged me around 1990 to become a certified instructor and at first I thought that would be too much on my plate but I ended up doing it and here I am.”

Coaching meant the Zornes’ moved around a lot. From Hawaii, Vancouver, B.C. to Montana, the Tri-Cities and then to Cheney when Zornes became the head football coach for the Eastern Washington Eagles. He would serve as head coach for 14 years and then as athletic director of the school until 1999.

The two had settled down in Cheney, but became enamored with Chewelah’s golfing and skiing options.

“Dick had been up golfing and we had always skied up at 49 Degrees North,”

Rosary School and in the basement of the clubhouse at the Chewelah Golf and Country Club. Along with fitness classes there are also yoga, art and self defense classes offered through seven different instructors.

“I feel like a proud mama!,” Zornes said with a laugh.

Zornes’ sayings are memorable to her students who have found her style of teaching works for nearly everybody.

That’s an achievement considering her students range from age 50 to their late 80s.

“Heidi works her students hard every workout, while making humorous comments and teasing her students,” John Johnson, who is still going strong at age 75 thanks to Heidi, wrote. “She makes class fun. We all love her and try to never miss a class.”

The type of classes Heidi teaches are wide ranging from Power Yoga to Pilates Core Class to Aerobic and Strength Interval Training.

Zornes said the best thing about teaching fitness is people want to be there. They’re usually in a happy mood

as well.

“People get involved with fitness and they tend to stick with it,” Zornes said.

“It is a way to go out and see people, so these classes provide a social aspect as well. The gathering of people is fun.”

When she isn’t skiing or golfing with Dick, the two have a daughter in Seattle and a son in Portland that they meet up with quite a bit during the summer.

Zornes said she was extremely honored to receive the award, which was helped by a considerable letterwriting campaign by her students and friends. She added this award is more for everybody that has been part of her classes for years - which is more than a few people.

“This is so wonderful; I share this with them,” Heidi said.

Zornes will appear on CenterStage on Thursday night of Chataqua, July 13 at 5:45 p.m., where she will be officially recognized as Chewelah’s Honored Citizen of 2017. She will also appear Saturday morning, July 16, in the Chataqua Parade.

509-276-9501 • 800-654-8168 knightboatdocks.com KNIGHT BOAT DOCKS ACQUIRES PONTOON DOCK MANUFACTURER S-K MARINE Deer Park, WA-June 20, 2017 - Knight Boat Docks today announced it is completing the acquisition of Cusick, Washington-based pontoon dock manufacturer S-K Marine.

“The addition of pontoon docks both diversifies and enhances our marine product range,” Knight Boat Docks president Doug Knight said. “They’re solid, very stable, and perform particularly well in river current. Pontoon docks easily allow light to pass through their decking, which makes them an environmentally friendly option.”

All S-K Marine’s fulltime employees will be offered employment with Knight Boat Docks, as Knight moves S-K manufacturing from Cusick to its Deer Park plant.

Norm Haikkila founded S-K Marine in 1975 as a fabricator of pontoon boats. Haikkila’s father, an engineer, designed the machinery used to fabricate the boats, which S-K built for nearly a decade. Noting the same pontoon floats could be used for docks, Haikkila gradually shifted the company’s focus onto dock fabrication. S-K makes an average of 80 docks and 175 dock ramps per year. Production capacity is expected to increase as manufacturing moves to Knight’s larger facilities.

Knight will retain the S-K Marine brand name in marketing the pontoon docks, which will be sold alongside Knight’s custom, marina-grade commercial docks and its consumer-focused EZ-Dock products. Knight is the exclusive EZ-Dock distributor throughout the Pacific Northwest, Montana, Utah, Alaska, Hawaii, Northern California and Canada.

Knight Boat Docks has been in business since 2007 and is a locally owned and operated company headquartered in Deer Park, WA, manufacturing dock ramps, custom docks and custom fabricated aluminum parts.
