Dulcimer extravaganza is coming to Joseph D Aaron Rob Brereton Stephen Seifer ulcimer Week in the Wallowas will present its Seventh-Annual Dulci- mer Extravaganza 7:30 pm Friday, July 7, at The Place, 303 S. Lake Street in Joseph (next to the Methodist Church). The concert features Dulcimer Week’s mountain dulcimer instructors. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. Pay at the door. This year’s headliner is Stephen Seif- ert from Nashville, returning for his third time to teach at Dulcimer Week. He will be joined by Rob Brereton from Sher- man, Conn.; Aaron O’Rourke from Chat- tanooga, Tenn.; and Bob Webb and Heidi Muller from Joseph. Organizers say the concert is a toe-tapping, family-friendly good time that typically treats the audience to amazing music not usually played on a dulcimer. Seifert is widely considered to be one of America’s fi nest dulcimer players. He has been a soloist with the Nashville Chamber Orchestra (now Orchestra Nash- ville), since 1996 and performs on their Warner Classical recording of “Blackberry Winter.” Brereton is a pioneer in contemporary mountain dulcimer playing. A classical guitarist with a degree in music theory and composition, he specializes in the stan- dards and early jazz tunes of Duke Elling- ton, George Gershwin and the like. O’Rourke discovered the mountain dul- cimer as a bass player in a punk rock band. Eight years later, he won the National Mountain Dulcimer Championship. Webb is a multi-instrumentalist who played for nine years in the house band of the radio show “Mountain Stage.” In his 50 years of playing dulcimer, he has taught dulcimer to hundreds of children and adults in schools, community centers and festi- vals from West Virginia to the Northwest. He and Heidi Muller are familiar faces on the local music scene. They are the hosts and organizers of Dulcimer Week.

Enterprise SDA Christian School This week’s athlete of the week is Barrie Qualle, one of the members of the Quail Run Ranch team that beat out all comers to win the coveted team championship at the Chief Joseph Days Ranch Rodeo on July 1. We teach Christian values and respect for all religious beliefs. Experienced teachers provide individualized instruction in a safe learning environment. Students advance an average of 1.7 grade levels per year in attendance. It was the third straight championship for Qualle’s team, but it’s something he never takes for granted: “The competition is getting better. We only won by four points and third place wasn’t all that far back. We faced some tough teams.” Proudly Sponsored By: Eastern Oregon’s Full Service Propane Supplier 201 E.
