12, 1915-March 19, 2000 Everett (Ev) Edstrom died Sunday, March 19, 2000, at his home in Palm Desert, Calif. He was born Dec. 12, 1915, in Worthington, to Ernest and Lelsa Edstrom'. He attended Winona State Teachers College. and married Mary Jean Cronen of Mapleton, Minn.

Ev began his musical training under the supervision. of Worthington High School band instructor, Vic Moeller, and later, Judge Lemke of Jackson, Minn. Throughout his adult years, he cited these two extraordinary teachers as having has a profound and positive effect on his life. In. addition to his intense individual practice regimen, Ev refined his trumpet technique as a youth by playing hymns each evening with his father, Ernest, and brother, Harold.

As a high school student, he gained statewide attention by hitchhiking from Worthington to Chicago to compete in a national music competition, Despite spending three days on the road without practicing, he won first place. While attending Winona State Teachers College, Ev and his brother started the school's first marching band program while concurrently directing the Mabel High School band. In 1937, the brothers led the Mabel band to first place in a national music competition featuring high schools from across the United States. At the same time Ev performed with The Kampus Kings, a popular musical group that appeared at college social events. Under his direction the band expanded, began touring and was renamed The Hal Leonard Orchestra.

The name was derived from those of Harold (Hal) and Leonard (Ev's middie name). This was necessary because of concern that their father, Ernie, might not approve of attaching the family name to something as "questionable" as a dance band. Ev, known professionally as Hal Leonard, achieved national prominence with his orchestra and its "band within a band," the Triple Tonguing Trumpet Trio. Featured on both network radio broadcasts and the covers of national music magazines, Hal Leonard was the scheduled headliner at the nation's top dance venue, Chicago's Trianon Ballroom on Dec. 7, 1941.

With the start of World War II, Ev broke up the band and joined the U.S. Navy. In 1947, Ev, Harold and direction Hal Leonard became the largest print music publisher. in the world. Included among its publications is music by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Walt Disney, Bob Marley, Woody Herman and most other international music starts.

The brothers established several other: businesses including Edstrom Photo Studio, Edstrom Music, Edstrom Telephone and Sound and. Edstrom Realty. In 1998 Ev and Mary moved permanently to Ironwood Country Club in Palm Desert, partly because of a severe stroke he had suffered the previous year. His death was caused by effects of the stroke. Ev is remembered most of all as a man who simply refused to quit once he set a goal.

His greatest lesson is that you can accomplish more than you ever dreamed if you combine tenacity with hard work and enthusiasm. He demonstrated this as a young boy striving for perfection on the trumpet, later in business and most recently in his battle to overcome the devastating damage caused by a stroke. Before his death he was asked what, in his opinion, is the most important ingredient for success. He replied, "tenacity." Ev. Edstrom personified tenacity and the magic it offers anyone who chooses to use it.

Ev raised his family in Winona and was devoted above all else to its welfare. He is survived by his wife, Mary; daughters, Pat of Palos Verde Estates, Kris of Los Angeles, Kim of San Francisco and La Jolla, and Kate of Edina, son-in-law, Marshall Brand of Edina; son, Steve of San Francisco; granddaughters, Taylor of Los Angeles and Skyler of Palos Verde Estates; and great-grandson, Anthony of Los Angeles. Ev. loved golf and while president of Winona Country Club was a driving force in expanding the course form nine to 18 holes. The family requests that in lieu of flowers a donation be made to the Ev Edstrom Youth Golf Program to assist aspiring (and tenacious) young golfers.

"I like fooling around with this stuff because I used to run this type of stuff," he said. Every piece is intricately crafted, right down to tread on the tires. "It looks just like the real thing," he said. But the most complex pieces he has worked on are two intricate Cathedral clocks, complete with steeples, steps and windows, chimes and a light that shines through fake stained glass. Several people, he admits, have wanted to purchase these two masterpieces, but Koenig prefers to keep them in his shop, where he can admire his work.

In fact, he isn't sure how much he'd charge, because they're not for sale. But if someone came along with the right offer, Koenig says he "supposes" he'd give them up. "Then I'd probably make another one," he said. But as. each represents three months of steady work, they won't come cheap.

According to a press statement, the revised proposal submitted to the state included supporting documents from Evanson and the Minnesota City Council endorsing use of the building for the charter school: State Sen. Bob Kierlin also wrote a letter of recommendation for the Riverway application. Riverway opened this fall as a private, tuition-free institution at. Cornerstone Community Church, 1201 Service Drive.

The school started the year with 35 students, down from an enrollment of 65 before the state board rejected the school's charter request. Enrollment now stands at 27, a press release said. The hallmarks of Riverway's learning method are a multi-age learning environment, small classroom sizes, individualized learning plans for both students and parents and project-based. learning. Krause said Riverway IS largely the inspiration of the educational theories of Park-: er Palmer, a nationally renowned educator.

Krause said the idea of starting a new school stems from her experiences as a graduate student at Saint Mary's University. The program was on teaching and learning, and Krause was impressed with the emphasis on community-style learning. "As a learner, for the first time in- my life, I felt SO empowered. And I would leave those weekend meet- Cuts Page 1A idea that the school board look into holding a referendum. Ropes conceded that "running a little on the charge card" is part of the American mentality but was uncertain whether a school district should go in that direction.

State government is allowed to go into debt, "but school districts are not allowed to operate in the red," she said. "So we have a financial responsibility to the community to not be in debt. And that's one of our board goals. Like it or not, I don't know." She added, however, that the idea "makes sense to me" because if the district does dip into the red "a little bit" and extra state funding does go through, "we won't have gutted ourselves and then tried to restore it." ings thinking that's. how I want.

my students to feel," Krause said. That observation led Krause to gather together a learning community of seven people to talk about: what was meaningful in education. Those conversations eventually gave birth to the concept of a new school. "We talked about the kinds of beliefs that we had about teaching and learning and dreaming of a more hopeful future, and eventually we moved to the idea of creating such an environment," she said. The process for charter school approval was a less visible process this time around.

The state Board of Education's rejection of Riverway's application last year was one of its last acts. It was disbanded, and the approval process transferred to the Department of Children, Families and Learning. Riverway leaders also acknowledged their. "good fortune" in connecting with RCTC officials Don Supalla, the school's president, and Judy Harris, RCTC interim vice president. In a letter to the Department of Children, Families and Learning, Harris praised Riverway officials for never losing sight of their vision.

"For a group with more than one setback, I have been impressed with not only their belief in their vision of a school centered around learning communities but I have also been impressed with their tenaciousness, she wrote. holding off on cuts, however, the district could risk going into statutory debt. It would then have to submit a plan to the state detailing how it plans to remedy the deficit. If the district failed to get out of debt by the next fiscal year, state funding would be cut.off. When will the board have the matter finished? It depends, Ropes said, on whether the board decides to run a deficit.

If the board runs in the red, the process might take longer. But the board also doesn't want to see the process stretched out unnecessarily. "We're not going to want to drag this out too long because it's just really stressful," she said. "We'd rather get the decision out there and warn (people) and then start implementing rather than dragging (it) out." crossing his eyes.
