Rose also incorporates the techniques of a modern-day luthier, using geared tuners, modern fretwire and even making electric instruments using pickups he wires. Rose has orders for his instruments coming from as far as China and Australia, but he and his wife show and sell much of his work during appearances at summer art fairs. “We’d walk around art fairs and say, ‘you know, there’s no instruments, nothing like that here, just jewelry and clothes and different things,’” MaryAnn Rose says of the decision to show at art fairs. “I always loved music and I always loved working with wood,” says Rose. His intricate instruments are a reminder there is more to art than painting or photography and that the elegant functionality of stringed instruments is certainly an art form all it’s own. While opportunities to see Rose’s work exist largely during the summer art fair season, his next OCTOBER WINNER stop is the Holiday Art Fair at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art on Nov. 22–24.

His work is displayed in fine galleries, museums, and invitational and juried exhibitions across the country. His paintings have also been used for the Chicago Maritime Festival posters for the past several years. Eric was recognized in November 2010 at the Roger's Street Fishing Museum, which acquired a print of the Rouse Simmons, "Yuletide Cargo", painting for the new wing of their museum. This wing will house artifacts that were retrieved from the wreckage of the Rouse Simmons, which sank off of Two Rivers, Wisconsin in November of 1912 .http://forsbergart.com/ ​ 1 NOVEMBER 2019 NEWSLETTER https://aaegv.org www.facebook.com/artinelkgrove ​ ​ ​ ​ Program Dates for 2019–2020 The program dates below will be held at the Elk Grove Village Library, unless indicated otherwise.

    THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 19, Number 50 Thursday, December 18, 2003 Festivities Capture Spirit of Historic House by Barbara Stodola The clean lines and shingled exterior of the Barker House are features of the Arts and Crafts style of architecture. Holiday decorations and festive events are bring- ing to life the historic character of the house on Barker Road, where Marjory Barker lived for 72 years. Set in the midst of a 35-acre wooded site, the Barker House is now owned by the Save the Dunes Council and Conservation Fund. The house is being decorated for special holiday events, culminating in an open house on Saturday, December 20, from 1 to 4 p.m. The public is invited to see the progress the orga- nization has made on restoring the house to its orig- inal appearance. Boughs of holly, over-mantel wreaths, nutcrackers and other antique ornaments recreate the atmos- phere the Barkers would have enjoyed during their first Christmas season in the house, in 1902. Out in the yard, a new roof is being installed on the private dance hall, one of few such structures remaining in the state of Indiana. Carol Cook, who designed the holiday decorations, peeks through the Barker House Continued on Page 2 stairway arch overlooking the living room.

On Nov., 22, 1912, the Rouse Simmons, one of the original “Christmas Tree Ships,” sailed from Thompson, MI carrying nearly 5,000 trees bound for Chicago. One observer described it as a "floating forest." Sadly, the ship encountered a snowstorm and sank to the bottom of Lake Michigan. In tribute to the Rouse Simmons, Chicago's boating community, led by Chicago’s Christmas Ship Committee, has established an annual reenactment of the Christmas Tree Ship. This modern day celebration of Christmas spirit also embraces the spirit of giving by delivering all of Christmas trees to needy families in Chicagoland. These days, the Christmas Tree Ship is portrayed by the US Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw. The trees are off-loaded from the Mackinaw by local youth volunteers and distributed to more than a thousand deserving families throughout Chicago. This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the Rouse Simmons.

  • The Development and Implementation of a Great Lakes
    THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A GREAT LAKES THEMATIC UNIT AT SHEBOYGAN FALLS MIDDLE SCHOOL By Tamara L. Gerend A project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE In Natural Resources/Environmental Education University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point July, 2004 APPROVED BY THE GRADUATE ADVISOR Dr. Randy Champeau Professor of Environmental Education 11 ACKNOWLEGEMENTS I would like to thank my husband, Chris, for all his support and editing time during the course of this project. If it would not have been his encouragement I may not have completed this project. I would also like to thank Karen Wodach and Lori Walker for their support and enthusiasm of making this Great Lakes project such a success. I appreciate the guidance and support from the administration at Sheboygan Falls Middle School without which this project may not have been an integrated project. lll ABSTRACT iv Abstract The purpose of this project was to create an integrated unit which would expose all seventh grade students at Sheboygan Falls Middle School in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin to the Great Lakes. The school is located in Sheboygan County and is about fifteen minutes from Lake Michigan. During the 2001-2002 school year, information was given to the seventh grade teachers and the director of instruction regarding the activities that would be included in the project with requests for feedback. In the spring of 2003 each teacher was given a binder that included all materials needed for them to teach their academic portion of the unit. In each binder was a divider that contained standards covers in each academic area, a divider for each activity to be taught and a divided section for papers that would need to be copied for the students.
