Local teacher wins BY THE music education award NUMBERS HAYES DESCRIBED AS A ‘POWERHOUSE OF CREATIVE ENERGY’

Christine Hayes, the music teacher at LINCS Elementary School in Whitewater, received the Madison Symphony Orchestra and Ward-Brodt Music’s 2016 Award for Excellence in Music Education on May 17. The presentation took place at a choir concert for the second through fifth graders in the Whitewater High School Auditorium.

The annual award celebrates an educator who displays leadership, passion, dedication, and innovation within the music classroom, positively affecting the lives of his or her students and the community at large, and is designated for one outstanding music educator in southern Wisconsin, according to a press release about the award. The MSO and Ward-Brodt developed the award to recognize that cultivating the artistic growth of young students is one of the most unique and challenging jobs for teachers in Wisconsin.

In her 29 years of working in the Whitewater Unified School District and by contributing to music in her community in a variety of ways, Hayes has changed the lives of many students and her colleagues, the release states. Hayes said she believes “inspiring and challenging children today will lead to their embracing music for their lifetime.”

In the nominations by parents, teaching colleagues, church members, and school administrators, Hayes was described as “a power house of creative energy” who “encourages children to express their feelings through music.” Her students at LINCS, where she has spent the last 19 years, can take part in diverse musical experiences including world drumming, playing guitar and recorder, composing music and singing in many languages. All of these experiences for children make her classroom “an exciting, musical adventure.” She has also taught elementary and middle school band, middle school guitar, keyboards and general music.

A former colleague who nominated her wrote, “Mrs. Hayes leads by example by continuing to find ways to improve as an educator by constantly pursuing her own education. She recently completed a trip to Ghana in order to learn about their musical culture.”

In her own words, Hayes said, “My goal is for each student to imagine themselves in musical experiences, provide them authentic learning situations where they create, respond, perform and connect, then collaborate with those students to apply their knowledge and skills to discover their personal musical path.”

Outside the classroom, Hayes founded an after-school orchestra where she volunteers her time as coordinator allowing children to enrich their music education.

Currently in its eighth year, the Whitewater Unified School District Strings Program has touched the lives of many school children, with 72 students participating this past year, ranging from fourth grade to high school.

She is also a music leader in her community. Hayes has been serving as the choir director for First United Methodist Church in Whitewater for the past 20 years and served on the board of directors of the Whitewater Arts Alliance for five years. In her free time she plays clarinet with the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Community Band.

Hayes earned her bachelor’s degree in music education from Central Michigan University and a master’s degree in music from Northwestern University. She currently resides in Whitewater.

In 2007 she won the Wal-Mart Wisconsin Teacher of the Year award and in 2008 the Herb Kohl Fellowship Award.

Hayes was awarded a commemorative plaque and a $500 prize. To be qualified for the award, a nominee must have taught within a 75-mile radius of Madison in a public or private K-12 school and instructed a band, orchestra, choir, or general music course.

Window display featured local WWII vets killed in action BY

ave Saalsaa said the idea to create a display honoring local World War II heroes who had been killed in action began at the visitation for a local veteran last fall.

“I went to (John) Jack Frawley’s visitation and didn’t realize until then that he was a decorated World War II vet,” Saalsaa, owner of Quiet Hut Sports in Whitewater, said.

Frawley, who was 93 when he died Sept.

20, 2015, had served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1942 to 1946, according to his obituary. He served under fire while participating in military action against Japanese forces on Guadalcanal, in the assault and capture of Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands, and against Japanese forces in Saipan in the Marianas Islands.

He was awarded a Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts.

Following his service, Frawley returned to Whitewater and in 1948, took over Cites Service Oil distributorship, the beginning of Frawley Oil, a third generation company still in existence today.

“Then Eugene Otto died and he was also a veteran,” Saalsaa said. “I started researching and found out that more than 100 people from Whitewater served during World War II. “That’s amazing to me,” he added.

During his research, which spanned

several months, Saalsaa made another discovery.

“There are six people still living in Whitewater that served in World War II,” he said.

Another astonishing number Saalsaa discovered is that 25 local World War II veterans were killed in action. Their names are on a memorial at Starin Park.

Once Saalsaa came up with the idea for a display, it was time for more research and he began by getting in touch with as many family members as possible of the 25 veterans listed on a memorial.

“I talked to them, tried to get more information which some had and others didn’t,” he explained. “I got some old Whitewater Registers from Pam Krauss. The paper was very dedicated to local people serving or who had served, and I searched online.”

Another person that helped with the research was Kurt Skindingsrude, the nephew of Eddie Skindingsrude, Jr., one of the local heroes featured in the display.

Saalsaa purchased the clothing for the mannequins and said he tried to be historically correct, which proved to be a challenge. The Air Force, for example, changed clothing during World War II to adapt to the conditions.

“It was amazing how quickly they adapted

to situations and conditions. It involved a lot of trial and error,” he said.

For the display, Plahn’s Army store in Janesville donated the combat boots and assisted in putting items together while the furniture used was borrowed from When Pigs Fly – a local antique store – in Whitewater.

Providing details about how they were killed and where that occurred was important, Saalsaa said.

A few of the heroes featured include: William Flood: Killed in action Sept.

22, 1944 at Mosselle and Meurthe rivers engagement while leading his troops up an embankment.

Eddie Skindingsrude, Jr.: Killed in action Dec. 25, 1944 when the plane on which he was a tailgunner was riddled with flak before falling and exploding near Bitberg, Germany.

Ivan Bogie: Killed in action Sept. 20, 1944 when his P-47D Thunderbolt fighter was shot down by German flak over France.

Saalsaa’s display also features Elizabeth Gardner, from Rockford, in a tribute to the paramilitary aviation organization in service from 1943 to 1945, WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots.)

“There were 1,074 WASP members, but 25,000 women had applied,” Saalsaa said.

“They had to have their pilot’s license and See REMEMBERING, Page 6

experience flying. They were valuable to free up men to fight – which women couldn’t do then – by transporting planes and towing targets.”

The most meaningful part of working on this project, he said, are the amazing stories he’s heard about local veterans.

“Lt. Elaine Roe, for example, was stationed in Anzio, Italy and in charge of a hospital there,” Saalsaa said. “The Germans decided to bomb it and she was responsible for getting patients and staff to the bunkers safely. She and two of her staff were awarded the Silver Stars, the first women to ever do so.”

“Another interesting thing, in the Battle of Mets, France, a veteran, Don Grosinske, was wounded – shot in the leg – but made it home, Dick Tratt was a fighter pilot and Private Omholt was in a tank,” he added. “All three are from Whitewater. It was a tough struggle because the Germans were so fortified. The bunker walls were eight feet thick. They were called the Iron Men of Mets.”

Saalsaa said he is more than willing to help anyone seeking information on a veteran family member or friend, including those killed in action.

P: 262.743.1770

“It can be a real challenge to find information but I’ve done a lot of it and would be more than happy to help,” he said. “All they have to do is call me and tell me what they know, even if it’s only the approximate time and where they were deployed. It would be great to help people find out more.”

Saalsaa said the display drew a lot of attention and a lot of compliments on the clothing but hopefully helped to convey the real message.

“I wanted people to take the time to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us,” he said. “We really do owe them a great deal.”

Saalsaa isn’t done honoring local heroes, either. The next project will be a live display representing veterans of Whitewater at the Cultural Arts Center in the fall.

He has interviewed one of the six remaining World War II veterans and plans to speak with the other five as well. Those who may be interested in helping with the project are asked to contact Saalsaa.
