Stories from the NW Wisconsin community

Priscilla Bauer | Staff writer

Tomczak said the lack of consistent warm weather and the paint’s slow drying time have been the biggest challenges in getting the students’ goal to transform 10 hydrants completed. Students in the class had this to say of the experience: Laura Drohman, 2015 graduate: “It’s fun knowing that even though I’m now graduated, there is something that I left behind. And Ariel, from ‘The Little Mermaid,’ is surprisingly hard to draw ‌ â€? Cassidy Lee, sophomore: “‘Monsters Inc.’ is my favorite movie and it’s great knowing that Mike Wazowski will be there a long time. I hope other people get a chance to leave their creative mark like we did.â€? Adam Lee, sophomore: “It’s important to think out your design well. Good work also takes time.â€? Keesha Thayer, junior: “It was exciting to be part of a project that served our community in an artistic way.â€? Alexandria Snyder, junior: “I really enjoyed putting a part of my childhood into the community with a Snoopy with Woodstock design.â€? Katie Tendup, sophomore: “We really liked being outside during art class and had a fun time getting the hydrants ready.â€? Garrett Olson, sophomore: “I found it enjoyable to uncover my artistic skill and I was very inspired by our art teacher to get out there and paint.â€?

GHS art teacher Jeremy Tomczak’s afternoon Art 2 class as well as a few other independent art students took on the hydrant-painting project this spring at the request of the Grantsburg Revitalization Operation Committee. The idea for the hydrant-painting project was generated during the design team weekend held by the Grantsburg Revitalization Operation Committee. “The GRO Committee sought out the help from the GHS art program to get the project off the ground,â€? said GRO Committee member Kelly Gerber. “We couldn’t have gotten this project going without the help of high school art instructor Jeremy Tomczack and his students. The students worked very hard on this project and it was wonderful to see the passion in each of their designs,â€? added Gerber. Through fundraising efforts the group was able to purchase enough paint and supplies for the students to get the project under way.

Then: South wind singing through an open window Apple blossoms pink, white Fresh shades of green fern tufts and veils of giant willow Small birds in and out a warped dryer vent. Buried tree swallows under a house sparrow’s nest Piping peeper frogs waking in the pond Trillium in the dark forest Behind the dirt and dry leaves, under dead elms—morels! A fresh start.

tion released a statement saying the apparent motto of the Environmental Protection Agency is, “Nothing left unregulated,â€? and the rules unilaterally strip private property rights and add hundreds of thousands of stream miles and acres of land to federal jurisdiction. McCarthy called the concerns of cattlemen “ludicrous.â€? The EPA is also being criticized for the way they handled the comment period of the process. By law, the agency has to read and consider all comments submitted on the proposed rule changes. However, the EPA made a decision only six months after receiving over a million public comments, leading to accusations they hadn’t looked at all the submissions. According to Bob Stallman, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, “We have serious concerns about whether farmer comments were given IXOO FRQVLGHUDWLRQ :H Ă€QG OLWWOH FRPfort in the agency’s assurances that our

concerns have been addressed in any meaningful way.� Stallman also questioned whether the EPA “transgressed clear legal boundaries� put in place by Congress by choosing to do more to regulate land use, rather than protect water resources. This is a battle that is far from over. Last month the House voted to block the regulations and Republican James Inhofe of Oklahoma, chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said his panel will consider a Senate bill that would force the EPA to withdraw and rewrite the rules this summer. President Barack Obama said in a statement that the changes “will ensure polluters who knowingly threaten our waters can be held accountable.� Now it appears the agency that made those changes is the one that’s going to be “held accountable.�

Local artist creates one-of-a-kind designs for Festival Theatre

ST. CROIX FALLS - Multimedia art is coming together in celebration of the 25th-anniversary theater season at Festival Theatre in downtown St. Croix Falls. “A short video giving an overview of the amazing productions coming to the stage this season is on our website, festivaltheatre.org,â€? said Festival Theatre board member Melanie Nelson. “In that video, and in our print products this summer, we’re excited to share original drawings by designer Kim Murphy.â€? Murphy is a designer and co-owner of Shoop Sculptural Design, Inc. with her husband, Jim Shoop. She is also no stranger to Festival Theatre. “I started as a costume assistant in 1998 or ‘99, and I worked in that capacity until I had our daughter Sienna in 2003,â€? said Murphy. Murphy also served on the board of directors at a time when the theater reorganized with a transitional business plan and completed the 2006 season with a record-setting holiday show, “Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates.â€? After her term on the board, she chose to work on speFLĂ€F SURMHFWV IRU WKH WKHDWUH LQFOXGLQJ KHU FXUUHQW VHUYLFH as volunteer with the development committee. Over the years Murphy and her family have decorated the theater for the holidays, planned and executed events, pruned the shrubs in front of the theatre, assisted with graphic design, and yes, she’s back to designing costumes. “I started costuming again with ‘Is He Dead’ in 2010. I had missed costuming so I started again by doing one show a year, and now I do two a year!â€?

Murphy graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison with a Bachelor of Science in apparel design and from The Fashion Institute of Technology - New York with an AAS in fashion design. “I was shocked to find a professional theater in St. Croix Falls and very happy that I could be a part of its survival, growth, history and its future,� said Murphy. “I love to see the changes that happen at the theater with each .LP 0XUSK\ DUWLVW FRVWXPH GH new season, new actors, growth and VLJQHU development of permanent artists and staff members, and with the volunteers who continue to give.

Festival asked Murphy to sketch a design for each of the produced shows for the 25th-anniversary season. “We wanted to make this season a little more special and Kim seemed to be the perfect artist to help make that possible,â€? said Pam Fuchs general manager “she has played such important roles here at Festival.â€? You can see Murphy’s designs featured on all of Festival’s movie posters and website. You can also see her creative costuming in “A Streetcar Named Desire,â€? which opens Saturday, Aug. 1, and runs in rotating rep with “Little Shop of Horrorsâ€? and “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) (revised).â€? 7LFNHWV DQG Ă H[ SDVVHV FDQ EH SXUFKDVHG DW IHVWLYDOWKHDWUH RUJ E\ FDOOLQJ WKH ER[ RIĂ€FH DW RU HPDLOLQJ IHVWLYDOWKHDWUHER[RIĂ€FH#JPDLO FRP )HVWLYDO Theatre is located in downtown St. Croix Falls, inside the Civic Auditorium at 210 North Washington St. - from Festival Theatre

New for 2015, shortcake and other options from Frederic’s own Northwoods Bakery will be featured. One of several annual fundraising efforts to help offset the costs of keeping the museum open to the public, to tell the story of Frederic’s past, the strawberry shortcake event has become a popular part of Frederic Family Days. Many families make it a regular stop during Family Days. Money raised from the donations for strawberry shortcake has been used for a new project, preserving a large collection of 16mm movies taken in the 1940s and ‘50s of many activities around Frederic. Proceeds from this year’s strawberry shortcake donations will be used to spruce up the Soo Line caboose with fresh paint and lettering. As always, with historical collections, there is an ongoing need for maintenance. The Frederic Soo Line Depot is the last of its kind in this area on what was once the major pipeline of commerce through more than half of the last century - the railroad. When the Soo Line abandoned rail service through

Frederic in 1989, the village acquired the depot and restored it with federal transportation enhancement grants as a rest stop on the Gandy Dancer State Trail and a museum of local history. Frederic Area Historical Society members will be on hand to share the history of Frederic. The depot/museum is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekends and holidays from Memorial Day weekend through leaf season in the fall.

Frederic Lions bike race celebrates 28 years on June 13 FREDERIC--The Frederic Lions Bike Classic will be held for the 28th time on Saturday, June 13. Started in 1988 by the Frederic Lions Club, the race has held on to be the thirdlongest-running citizens bike race in Wisconsin. The idea to host a bike race in Frederic started as a coffee table discussion in the winter of 1987. Terry and Jo Duea, Dave Dopkins and Steve and Elisabeth Puetz collaborated on the concept of a starting a local bike race, after watching the success of a popular citizen bike race in Grandview, Wis., which Dopkins had participated in. The Frederic Lions Club came on board as a host organization. Over a quarter century, proceeds from the race have been directed by the Lions Club to the various charitable causes they support. This year’s race will be a 26.4-mile individual time trial and will bring racers to Frederic from all over the Midwest. The race will start at the Frederic High School campus at 10 a.m., with registration from 8-9:30 a.m. The race route is an out-and-back course, going east on Clam Falls Drive, south on CTH I for 13 miles, turning around just north of Hwy. 48, and returning by the same route to Frederic. The course has a total of 1,300 vertical feet of climbing. Top riders will complete the course in under an hour, averaging well over 26 miles an hour on what is considered a GLIÀFXOW WLPH WULDO URXWH $ QHZ FODVV ZDV added in 2010 - the single speed division.

In Loving Memory Of

Jacqueline Mae Sylte One Year Ago You Left Us Dec. 29, 1949 - June 15, 2014 Broken Chain We little knew the day, that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, and your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Wesley Clyde Maurer, 95, went home to be with his Lord on Thursday, June 4, 2015. He died peacefully at Traditions of Frederic comforted by his family. Wes was born May 12, 1920, in Superior, Wis., and he grew up in the Milwaukee and Lake Nebagamon areas. Wes graduated from Drummond High School and continued his lifelong love of learning at Milwaukee State Teachers College and the University of Minnesota, earning his Master of Arts.

Although wars interrupted his education, they did not interrupt the formation of family. Wes married his beloved Norma Alice (Carlson) Maurer, and they made their home in Brooklyn Center, Minn. Wes taught elementary school for 31 years, and upon his retirement in 1980, Wes and Norma moved to Webster, Norma’s hometown, to enjoy their retirement \HDUV :HV EULHĂ \ UHWXUQHG WR WHDFKLQJ ZKHQ KH ZDV needed at the Webster Elementary School. Never idle in retirement, Wes tended a large garden, jogged and crosscountry skied, and was an active member of the Webster Baptist Church, leading worship, study and Awana. Wes was also devoted to the missions of JAARS, Wycliffe and the Gideons. Wes was an insatiable reader and there was always a variety of books at his chairside. Wes is predeceased by his parents, August and Esma (Stout) Maurer; one sister and four brothers. Surviving are his wife, Norma; and four sons, Gregory, David (Pamela), Steven (Joanne) and Clayton (Joyce); 11 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. Norma remembers meeting and building a life with Wes: In 1942, while Norma was living in Minneapolis, Wes came with a fellow naval cadet to a bowling alley RQ /DNH 6WUHHW ZKHUH D EORQG JDO Ă LUWHG ZLWK KLP DV KH watched her bowl with her sister, Bess. Norma was a lousy bowler, but Wes asked her for a date. She borrowed low-heeled shoes to go out with him, and that was the beginning of their romance. They had a couple of dates before Wes left for Corpus Christi for training. In June 1943, Wes returned to Minneapolis on his way to Camp Kearny Marine Base in California. At the time, Norma was working the third shift at Minneapolis Honeywell, so with hairpins sticking out of her hair, Wes walked into the living room and !!! she knew he was the “manâ€? for her. They took the train up to Superior where his parents, from Lake Nebagamon, picked them up. They spent a week at his parents’ home, where Wes asked, “When are we getting married?â€? Since Wes was living in the barracks, an apartment would be necessary, and the soonest that could happen was September. Norma and Wes were married Sept. 25, 1943, in San Diego, Calif. During more than 71 years of marriage, they shared many milestones, including raising four healthy, noisy boys. Wes was discharged from the Marines in April, 1945, and became a WHDFKHU Ă€UVW LQ 6XSHULRU DQG WKHQ LQ 5REELQVGDOH 0LQQ after going back for more education. He made his second greatest choice; he came to Christ in 1949. Wes said, â€?How we lived day by day is directly related to how others remember us when we die.â€? Wes was a kind, gentle and steadfast man who loved his family and the life he built through the Lord. Wes will be well-remembered by all who know him.

Music@Franconia opens June 27 with Black Market Brass and more Get your rhythm and groove on! FRANCONIA, Minn. - Franconia Sculpture Park is kicking off its 2015 Music@Franconia series with enough funk and groove to get everyone dancing. Live in the earthen amphitheater on Saturday, June 27, from 1 to 7 p.m., will be Twin Cities brass music greats Black Market Brass and the Brass Messengers, plus soulful favorites The Undergroove. This summerlong concert series features some of the region’s best musicians who take the stage in Franconia’s earthen amphitheater for live performances. Bring a blanket, grab a bite or beverage from on-site vendors, and enjoy the afternoon with friends and family. Participate in a guided tour of the sculpture exhibition during band breaks to meet artists-in-residence and learn about the exhibition and works in progress. Here is the performance schedule for the Rhythm & Groove festival on June 27: 1 p.m. - The Undergroove has been laying down original funk and R & B tunes since 2008, providing “a full buffet of hot dance sounds.â€?

But mostly, it is an original music that rises from the heart of the band, and that can only be described as homegrown Minneapolis street music.
