A benefit for Glensheen and the Douglas County Historical Society
Fasten your fashionable seat belt; this runway will transport you from the 1900s to the 1970s, one fabulous outfit at a time. A station tour of Glensheen, refreshments, and a silent auction (checks and cash only, please) add to the fun. And it’s a fundraiser of historic proportions: money raised will be used for the Douglas County Historical Society and Glensheen.
On Wednesday I saw this porcupine high at the top of a tree on Raleigh Street, feasting away on bark. Then on Thursday there were two of them (one up high, one down low).
This is part one of a three part series profiling three UMD students who all went to Iraq together in 2005 and all came to UMD together right after. Two of them are being redeployed in May and the third is staying behind, due to PTSD. This is Sergeant Benjamin Hatton’s story of his last eight years in the United States Army. Read Hatton’s story on LakeVoice News.
LakeVoice News is a weekly online publication produced by UMD journalism students. The stories are reported on and written by students, but the content is for the community.
Help!
I am looking to relocate my small office to another spot downtown. Somewhere in the area of Lake Avenue a few blocks east or west would be great. Any good ideas? I’m not super picky, but want some good light and clean, etc. Currently spending about $200 a month so I am also hoping to stay in that range.
“Take Me Out To The Ball Game” was written by Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer in 1908. These images were shot the same year to help sell the song to the public.
The singer in the video is Edward Meeker, one of Thomas Edison’s technicians. This is how they sold music (sheet music, specifically) back in the day — kind of an early form of music video. These were called illustrated songs. An “illustrator” would stand on stage and sing the song while glass slide images portraying the song’s storyline were projected on a screen. Anywhere from 12 to 16 slides were produced for a song. The last slide was usually the chorus text so audience members could sing along. In this version, I’ve enhanced the chorus with slides from other baseball songs. Illustrated songs were often part of vaudeville and early movie theater programs. Notice the giant wad of Cracker Jacks Katie Casey is enjoying. That’s how it was sold back then.
