Chelsea Melton
Miss Shell Lake candidate by Regan Kohler SHELL LAKE – Chelsea Rene Melton, 14, is one of the candidates seeking the title of Miss Shell Lake 2010. Melton is the daughter of Mark and Nancy, sister of Daniel, Zachary, Andrew, Katelynn and Ayla. A freshman at Shell Lake High School, Melton is involved in the SMILES mentoring program, choir, and has played basketball for the Lakers. She loves turtles, reading, music, jewelry making, sign language, mashed potatoes and gravy, baby-sitting and going on mission trips, as well as learning from the Bible. After high school, she hopes to attend Alverno College, Milwaukee, to become a pediatrician or doctor for teenagers. She said she “really wants to follow God and my heart.” Melton said she decided to participate in the Miss Shell Lake pageant because of last year’s second princess. “I look up to Jena Fogelberg,” she said. “She got over a lot of her fears.” Melton said that speaking or performing in front of large groups is one of her own fears, and she hopes to conquer this through the interviews, group dance and individual talent performance the Miss Shell Lake candidates go through. When asked how she could best represent Shell Lake, Melton said she would get to know everyone in town, and “be respectful to other people’s courts [royalty].” For the pageant, the girls participate in private interviews with the judges beforehand, as well as a meet-and-greet, and perform a group dance – they will be doing “Rhythm is a Dancer” by Snap – an individual talent, and answer a question unannounced to them before the show. Melton said she plans to perform
