Gary King | Leader editor SHELL LAKE - Funeral services were held Saturday, Aug. 30, for Darrell Aderman, 83, founder of the Shell Lake Arts Center, a nationally renowned summer camp which has brought well-known, accomplished musicians to the community over the years to teach music to students and adults, highlighted by legendary jazz and jam sessions and concerts.

The entire community of Shell Lake came together QHDUO\ Ă&#x20AC;YH GHcades ago to 'DUUHOO $GHUPDQ support Adermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream of creating a stage band clinic for high school students and adults, bringing together the most talented musicians available with the stunning beauty of the Wisconsin North Woods, namely Shell Lake itself.

Adermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea came to him when he was working summers on his masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in music at the University of Wisconsin in 1965. When he proposed his idea to 8: RIĂ&#x20AC;FLDOV WKH\ LPPHGLDWHO\ ZDUPHG to the possibility of having an Extension center in the northwestern part of the state but wondered about the lack of dormitory space.

Aderman returned home and formed the Shell Lake Development Corporation and city residents immediately got behind the project by allowing the bank to use their personal savings accounts as collateral to make an $80,000 loan possible for the construction of housing for the proposed center. The city and school district gave a long-term lease on land adjacent to the former high school, so that the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classrooms and cafeteria could be used.

Many local residents even pitched in with labor on the construction of the 140-person dormitory that would become part of what was then called the Indianhead Arts Center. Then Gov. Warren Knowles spoke at the dedication of the center on May 31, 1969.

Amidst the celebration was the underlying problem of how to get students enrolled for that summer - on such short

Dreamer with enthusiasm In liner notes of an album recorded at the arts center, titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s It!â&#x20AC;? Aderman was described as, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A dreamer with enthusiasm, a man who has the drive to make his dreams a reality.â&#x20AC;? Aderman emphasized individualized attention for students and therefore the number of students was limited â&#x20AC;&#x153;as to not destroy a close student-teacher relationship.â&#x20AC;?

Taking advantage of his success with the jazz camp, Aderman managed to arrange for then Wisconsin Badgers football coach John Coatta and some of his assistant coaches to come to Shell Lake to teach football to seventh grade through high school students.

As the arts center took on a life of its own, Aderman left Shell Lake in 1973 to become professor with the University of Wisconsin - Extension, overseeing the arts center and other programs of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Arts and Sciences ConWLQXLQJ (GXFDWLRQ 8: ([WHQVLRQ RIĂ&#x20AC;FH The Shell Lake Arts Center today holds the distinction of being the oldest continuous-running jazz camp in the United States.

Aderman retired as professor emeritus from the arts center in 1994. Other distinctions include UW-Extension Award of Excellence, Wisconsin Music Educators Association Distinguished Award, and International Association of Jazz Educators Distinguished Service Award.

Masonic activities include Grand Master of Masons in Wisconsin, 33° of Scottish Rite and Grand Lodge Meritorious Service Award.

The community never forgot Adermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contributions in establishing the arts center - naming the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auditorium after him in 2012 - and many knew him also as a true giver to Shell Lake through many roles he undertook.

As stated in his obituary, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether fortunate to know him as music teacher, troop leader, hunter safety instructor, arts center administrator, colleague, Masonic brother, or friend, he always remembered his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and their special achievements.â&#x20AC;? - with information from Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

New Ice Age Trail section near fairgrounds open Off-road route took 4,000 hours of volunteer work Gregg Westigard | Staff writer ST. CROIX FALLS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A new section of the Ice Age Trail in St. Croix Falls is now open for hikers and walkers. The 2.4-mile route from Riegel Park to Zilmer Park winds east of the fairgrounds through a wooded hillside, passes through a prairie north of Oregon Road and curves through URFN RXWFURSV DQG DFURVV D Ă RZLQJ VWUHDP before reaching Zilmer Peak high over the river valley. Parking access is from an Ice Age Trail parking lot on Louisiana Street south of the fairgrounds and from the Zilmer Park lot on Day Road.

The new trail, with its bridge, boardwalk and rockwork, is the product of a week of work by an Ice Age Trail mobile skills crew of volunteers who came from around the country to donate their labor.

The 157 volunteers from 11 states put in 4,191 hours of work from Aug. 19 through 24. Many of the workers camped at the fairgrounds, enjoying good food cooked by the mobile skills crew and good companionship.

The trail builders, ranging in age from 12 to folks in their 80s, were welcomed

by St. Croix Falls Mayor Brian Blesi who was an active trail builder all week. The Indianhead Chapter of the Ice Age Trail Alliance hosted the event.

t is an honor and privilege to get to know so many people with life experience.

Growing up near my grandparents was an invaluable experience for me. I remember advice, gentle correction, direction and of course, stories.

It was some time after her arrival that the church called a new pastor to serve WKH ORFDO Ă RFN $V SDUW RI KLV GXWLHV KH made sure that he would visit those homebound residents who were unable to get out to the weekly services.

He made it a point to visit Millie regularly. During their visits, he would help himself to the bowl of peanuts on the bedside stand. Millie always had a bowl of peanuts available for visitors. As she talked he would nod and munch on the peanuts. In one of the follow-up visits he casually mentioned how nice it was for her to be thoughtful toward her visitors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do you mean?â&#x20AC;? she responded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well you always have a bowl of peanuts out when I come to visit.â&#x20AC;? He thanked her for her thoughtfulness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh that.â&#x20AC;? She said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My son Roger

They had a great visit and she commented on the numerous historical events which she had personally experienced. Finally, as the interview wound down, the reporter wondered about her health and her secrets to reaching the age of 100. She shared her viewpoints on maintaining a healthy life.

Wondering if she had ever been seriously ill he asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have you ever been bedridden?â&#x20AC;?

Much to his surprise she responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why yes, many times, and twice in a haystack!â&#x20AC;?

Using technology and genetics, plant breeders are estimating a 40-percent increase in yields before 2020 and by 2030 the national average will be close to 300 bushels an acre. Doing the math, that would be an 82-percent increase over the current record.

ST. CROIX FALLS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Festival Theatre wishes to give credit to more artists of its summer repertory rotation.

Festival patrons also had the opportunity to see the work of veteran Festival Theatre artists David Markson, Stephen Pearce, Carl Lindberg and Jaclyn Johnson.

Through the use of shading and shadow, the forum set created the illusion of depth. His talented use of color and creative design provided the context for the three sets in front of which the entire play took place. Playgoers may also remember the amazing illusion of a hallway receding into the distance that was incorporated into the set for the 2011 production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once Upon A Mattress.â&#x20AC;?

More recently, Markson has been involved with the River Falls Community Theatre in which he has done set design, directed one-act plays in its Dessert Theatre and performing his favorite roles as Didi Snavely and Petey Fisk in its production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tuna Christmas.â&#x20AC;?

By profession Markson is a sign painter who recently created a new mural in downtown River Falls and has been working this summer as the lead artist in the Osceola Bench Project with 12 middle school students to create a new â&#x20AC;&#x153;art benchâ&#x20AC;? for the Osceola community.

Although, as Markson says, he has no formal training in set design, or sign painting for that matter, his excellence at both shines through his work. In adding to his painting and theater work, Markson is the varsity tennis coach for River Falls High School and is a bass player and vocal artist in two bands, The Danger Rangers and The Tin Pan Alley Cats. In 2013 Markson was awarded the River Falls Chamber Citizen of the Year Award.

Pearce is used to magic. Born in Anaheim, Calif., home to Disneyland, Pearce soon moved to North Pole, Alaska, home of the Santa Claus House, which receives tons of letters to Santa each year. He received his Bachelor of Arts in theater arts from Bradley University in Peoria, Ill., and continues to take acting, singing and movement classes. This past year Pearce spent the Christmas season in Door County, performing in a oneman production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Wonderful Life.â&#x20AC;? Pearce has spent the past six spring seasons performing in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Diary of Ann Frankâ&#x20AC;? at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park Square Theatre, a show designed for students who are bused in from all over the region for school-day matinees. Pearce also volunteers for Upstream Arts, an organization teaching performing arts classes for students with disabilities.

Currently, Pearce is working toward a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in occupational therapy with the goal of practicing physical theater therapy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 39 Stepsâ&#x20AC;? opened at St. Croix Festival Theatre on Aug. 9.

Since then he has acted, directed and designed in California, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Chicago, where he currently teaches acting at the Chicago Academy for the Arts and the College of DuPage.

In addition to his directing credits, Lindberg appeared in the 2011 Festival production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mystery of Irma Vep.â&#x20AC;? Audiences will remember Lindbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comedically perfect performance as the 6-foot-6-inch Lady Enid in Irma Vep and his astonishing appearance as the werewolf, among others.

Hello friends, Our little shelter began filling up quickly this week with both new strays LQ DQG VRPH VXUUHQGHUV DOVR 2XU Ă&#x20AC;UVW stray, a possible German wirehair, came in from the Grantsburg area. He is just adorable with his unruly mustache and lanky body. Though there has been talk about who is the possible owner on our Facebook page, no one has come forward to claim him yet. Another stray, a KDSS\ KRXQG FDPH LQ EULHĂ \ DQG ZDV claimed the same day. A slipped collar was to blame for that one and the owners were happy to see we had their pal.

We had room to take in only one cat, a stray 1-yearold that I will tell about below. I hate to report that adoptions were at a standstill this week, hopefully next week will see some of our wonderful aniPDOV Ă&#x20AC;QGLQJ QHZ $UURZ homes.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little mud among friends?

HERTEL - Driving - and sometimes wallowing - in the mud can be a good thing, especially when it provides fun and entertainment.

The annual Labor Day Weekend Mud Bog just west of Hertel along Hwy. 70 drew hundreds of spectators and participants who appreciate good unclean fun.

The heavy rain on Friday made for some extra-muddy conditions and the need to pump water out of the mud drag course, which had become a lake of sorts.

Getting stuck in the mud was all part of the experience. - Gary King

(Mark: 16:17-18) Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promise for healing power through the use of our hands comes by faith. Countless people have shared stories of how they were healed when someone, through faith, laid hands on them and prayed. When our hands are open to the needs of others, great things take place. Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; example of using his hands for healing is intended for all of us.

Jesus wanted our openhanded lifestyle to include generosity of our possessions, too. Throughout the Bible, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re told that the poor will always be with us. When we joyfully seek out the

poor to give them needed help, we become the most blessed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy,â&#x20AC;?

Jesus said. (Matthew 5:7) When he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Follow me,â&#x20AC;? Jesus meant the command to include every aspect of our lives. He meant us to seek out the poor, the hurting, the needy, the unlovable, so he can â&#x20AC;&#x201C; through us ² KHOS IXOĂ&#x20AC;OO WKHLU QHHGV WKURXJK IDLWK and through his power. His hands were always open to the needy. Ours need to be, also.

Lord, thank you for hands made for healing. Give us the willingness, the joy, and the power to become as your hands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; full of mercy and love. In Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; name, amen.
