From the Editor-news and notes

Are there any rental homes/apartments in the area? Every now and then I am asked if I know of any homes or apartments for rent in the area.
Well, as it happens I do get lucky knowing of some. There have been over the last few months requests from people and at the moment, there
aren't. If you are aware of some of these places available in the Lakewood or Townsend area, please let me know so that I can pass the info on to a
possible renter. Right now I know of a couple of people looking to rent a 3 bedroom, 2 bath in the Lakewood area with another looking for a 2
bedroom, 2 bath. While I am not in the business of real estate I do refer people to those who are.
In our December issue we introduced a new writer to our pages, Diane Jansen. She along with our long time writer Michael Rzekpa, both will be
sharing their insights into the world of the care and their knowledge of our pets and natural wildlife.
One of the many weather reporters I follow said, yes there is going to be a major snowstorm heading up to the east coast. Well as we all now know
they saw as much as 40 inches of snow. While they were getting snowed in many forgot to get to their grocery stores, gas stations, and fill up their
meds to get them through. In Kentucky people were stranded for over 12 hours in their cars/and trucks along a 35 miles stretch of the interstate.
Luckily, they were rescued and made it to their destinations. We here in the northwoods are accustomed to being snowed in or what we might call
snowed in. When we hear were in for a major snowstorm we are prepared ahead of time. I just get what I need then hunker down for the duration.
In other words, I hibernate. Latest weather update for February, were going to be COLD and get more SNOW. That will be the news from now
until the end of May.
Throughout the month of January we lost a few of our great entertainers and loved ones. Today I learned that Abe Vigoda passed away. What a
wonderful actor he was throughout his career.
UPDATE: From Grandview Orchard and Nursery in Antigo-The store will be closed until Spring. Well let you know when they re-open.
In passing; America, and here at home, we have lost many wonderful friends and family. Our thoughts and prayers to you all. And, to those whose
lives were lost in the recent accidents, snowstorms, tornados, fires and floods.
Get Well Wishes to all of our friends and neighbors.
UPCOMING EVENTS; See our pages for the wonderful events that are scheduled during the month. Be sure to ck page 19 for the events for
December, church and school fairs and holiday dinners.
Birthday Wishes to all of our friends and neighbors;

Out with the old and in with the new. Happy New Year!
I wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year. Make it the best year ever because its time for a new beginning. Here are a few
resolutions we all should make: Be more awesome than you were last year. Make more time for family and friends. Dont be so
busy making money that you forget to make a life. Enjoy life more. Learn something new. Fight for what is right. Rise above the
negative. Move forward. Do the right thing.etc. etc.
Take a step back from your life and your issues and take a good look at what is in front of you. Take a breath and just BE. If something you are doing makes you feel stressed, negative or badstop to refocus and then move forward away from that situation. Do
what makes you happy and do what makes you a better person.
Back by popular demand I will once again report on school board meetings. I have had so many people ask me to keep writing
about the meetings. They like to know whats going on.
I was at the December school board meeting and as much as I think everything is going much better with our schools and our board
since the last election, one of the items they discussed has me in shock. The discussion about the exit interviews conducted with
teachers who have resigned was one topic of discussion. These exit interviews are a good feedback to our board on why teachers
leave our district. Its a good reflection piece to see what we can do better as a district. Our board hired a 3 rd party to conduct exit
interviews. This company questions multiple teachers leaving, and compiles a summary of the ones interviewed. Board member Jim
Smith, asked for the raw data received (meaning he didnt want a sugar coated summary, he wants to know their actual answers).
Im not sure why this had to go to a vote, why not let those who want to see the detailed report see it and the other ones read the
summary? Jim Smith and Joan Sackett voted to receive a detailed report while all other members voted against it. One board member said I dont want to see that information, with another one saying he doesnt need to see it. Im not judging or being negative,
but why would a board member not want to see the details on why our teachers keep leaving? Im sure this will upset some board
members because its not painting the perfect picture, but I am simply reporting the facts from the board meetings. I videotape all
meetings in order to report on them honestly and properly.
Did you know school board elections are coming up again? I have often thought that if I didnt coach sports, I could report news
without a filter and without worry of offending anyone, and maybe get more into politics. Hmmm, definitely something to think
about.
More school news: A big THANK YOU to Debbie Fronek and
her awesome photography skills. Debbie attends many games and
posts tons of pictures to Rebel Sports page on Facebook. She does
a fantastic job of trying to get pics of everyone. As a parent, I appreciate her efforts and talent. Thank you so much Debbie!
Make it a beautiful month everyone!

I am too positive to be doubtful,

too optimistic to be fearful and too
determined to be defeated. And
above allI believe in Karma.
You get what you give. For many
of us, thats a good thing. For others.not so much.

"Red Arrow Snowmobile ATV Club, headquartered in

Townsend, is in the process of writing its history," says newly
-elected Red Arrow President Gary Wagner. "In that regard, I
have directed our Recording Secretary Kari Hinkens and
Membership Secretary Sandy Wagner, to assemble an ad hoc
committee." Mary has recruited Rhonda Kroll, Kathleen
Marsh, Sandy Wagner, and Therese Erler. The group meets to
continue already established goals, procedures, and assign
duties.
"Red Arrow turns 47 this year," said Stehula. "So much has
happened since the club was officially founded in 1968. Our
committee's goal is to gather information to document our
past 47 years and then update each year going forward. We
would like to publish a detailed accounting of Red Arrow's
first 50 years in 2018."
Anyone having old club minutes, photos, pertinent documents, or personal recollections is asked to contact Mary Stehula at misteh@ezwebtech (715-276-7769) or Kathleen
Marsh at kathiemarsh@yahoo.com (715-276-6515).

National Guard and

Reserve
Mobilized as of May 5, 2015
The Department of Defense announced an increase in activated
National Guard and reserve component members this week for the
Army National Guard, Army Reserve and Air National Guard while
the Navy Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, and Air Force Reserve
announced a decrease of activated members. Coast Guard Reserve
numbers did not change from last week. The net collective result is
an increase of 292 activated National Guard and reserve component
members in comparison to last week.
At any given time, services may activate some units and individuals
while deactivating others, making it possible for these figures to
either increase or decrease. The total number currently on active
duty from the Army National Guard and Army Reserve is 14,438;
Navy Reserve, 2,741; Marine Corps Reserve, 954; Air National
Guard and Air Force Reserve, 5,732; and the Coast Guard Reserve,
209. This brings the total National Guard and reserve component
personnel who have been activated to 24,074, including both units

Valentine's Day, also known as Saint Valentine's Day or the

Feast of Saint Valentine,[1] is a celebration observed on February 14 each year. It is celebrated in many countries around the
world, although it is not a public holiday in most of them.
St. Valentine's Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or
more early Christian saints named Valentinus. Several martyrdom stories were invented for the various Valentines that belonged to February 14, and added to later martyrologies.[2] A popular hagiographical
account of Saint Valentine of Rome states that
he was imprisoned for
performing weddings
for soldiers who were
forbidden to marry and
for ministering to
Christians, who were
persecuted under the
Roman Empire. According to legend, during his imprisonment,
he healed the daughter
of his jailer, Asterius.
An embellishment to
this story states that
before his execution he
wrote her a letter
signed "Your Valentine" as a farewell.[3]
Saint Valentine's Day is
an official feast day in the Anglican Communion,[4] as well as in
the Lutheran Church.[5] The Eastern Orthodox Church also celebrates Saint Valentine's Day, albeit on July 6 and July 30, the
former date in honor of the Roman presbyter Saint Valentine, and
the latter date in honor of Hieromartyr Valentine, the Bishop of
Interamna (modern Terni).
The day was first associated with romantic love in the circle of
Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of
courtly love flourished. In 18th-century England, it evolved into
an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other
by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). In Europe, Saint Valentine's
Keys are given to lovers "as a romantic symbol and an invitation
to unlock the givers heart", as well as to children, in order to
ward off epilepsy (called Saint Valentine's Malady).[6] Valentine's
Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline,
doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced
greeting cards.[7]

UPDATE: Third month in the city and still the dogs and cats havent become acclimated to its eclectic charm.
None of the pets are used to constant police, fire and ambulance sirens, the shrill noon whistle that sounds like an air raid warning, musical church bells, big trucks that rumble past shaking the house to its
foundation, early morning garbage trucks throwing trash cans around,
drive-by teens that blare their music at an unholy decibel late into the
evening hours and neighborhood dogs that bark at anything that
moves.

The Friends of the Suring Area Public Library will be hosting

a Bingo afternoon, Sun., Feb. 21, 2016, from 1 to 3 PM at the
Red Maple Golf Course. Admission is $1.00, which includes
a free bingo card for the first game. Each game costs $1.00
per card. Multiple cards may be purchased for each game, as
desired. There will be approximately 10 games
played. Snacks will be provided. All proceeds will benefit
programs for the Suring Area Public Library.

The dogs as well as, the cats have taken to pacing restlessly all night,
which tends to keep
all of us up and too tired to motivate come daylight.

I added the cost per bingo per game, since last year, a few
participants remarked they thought the price of each game
card would be $.25 per game, like the Am. Legion charges
during Labor Day Mon. We are into fund raising to keep our
programs going at our Library, so we decided to charge a bit
more. The day was successful last Feb. 15, 2015, too.

Ive noticed that one cant really even see the stars very well in the
night sky because of the bright city lights. Will I ever see the Northern
Lights again and still no wildlife to watch. Even the rabbits, crows and
squirrels are magically gone with our first good snowfall.
Here in the city homeowners have 24 hours to clear the snow and ice
off the sidewalks in front of their houses. I was pleasantly surprised to
see that everyone seemed to come out as a group to accomplish this
feat and helped each other complete their daunting tasks.
It actually became similar to a block party with the men using the snow
blowers, the women manning the shovels and the kids throwing snowballs and building snowmen
with the overflow of icy supplies. It would have been more fun if we
werent all throwing the snow back and forth on each others front
yards. Theres just no place t go with it when the houses are so close
together.
One silver lining are the city owned blue, plastic trash cans on each
street corner filled with a sand/salt mixture that anyone can partake of
for the sidewalks in front of their houses or businesses. They are kept
filled on a weekly basis.
On the pro side of living in the city is an elderly gentleman with
challenges that delivers the free morning paper three times a week.
As he pulls his little red wagon through all sorts of inclement weather
past your house he throws the paper on your front stoop. Im told hes
been doing his job for many, many years hence his spot on aim. It never fails to end up right in front of our door and always at the same time
of day. I wish he delivered the mail too!
Ive taken to greeting him now and again on his rounds. He has such a
sweet smile I swear he could bring out the sunshine.
See you again next month.

Diana Janssen

A Word or Two From Dr. Adam

Do you get that feeling like I do? That warm feeling when you
give someone or something a donation of either money or goods. I
get that feeling when my wife and I donate to the Oconto Humane
shelter. As you know, my wife and I have a coffee/gift shop in
Lakewood. We have a donation jar by the register. We also have
the doggie banks. We simply ask for any donation for the fidos and
fluffies. We even have a program that if you donate you get a free bracelet. We have had other programs
that a percentage of our sales of certain items go to the shelter.
We are proud to say that we have collected and donated over
$3000 so far. That is a great feeling. Have you thought of donating to any humane shelter? Now is a great time. What to give?
Money is the best. But, call your shelter and ask them what they
are in need of. Bleach, blankets, detergent are just a few that are
always needed. Kitty litter, food are also always needed too. Giving to a humane shelter will not only help fidos and fluffies, it
will give that warm feeling too.

Headaches & Chiropractic

If you have a headache, youre not alone. Nine out of ten Americans suffer from headaches. Some are occasional, some frequent,
some are dull and throbbing, and some cause debilitating pain and nausea.
What do you do when you suffer from a pounding headache? Do you grit your teeth and carry on? Lie down? Pop a pill and hope the
pain goes away? There is a better alternative.
Research shows that spinal manipulation the primary form of care provided by doctors of chiropractic may be an effective treatment option for tension headaches and headaches that originate in the neck.
A report released in 2001 by researchers at the Duke University Evidence-Based Practice Center in Durham, NC, found that spinal
manipulation resulted in almost immediate improvement for those headaches that originate in the neck, and had significantly fewer
side effects and longer-lasting relief of tension-type headache than a commonly prescribed medication.
Also, a 1995 study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that spinal manipulative therapy is an effective treatment for tension headaches and that those who ceased chiropractic treatment after four weeks experienced a sustained therapeutic benefit in contrast with those patients who received a commonly prescribed medication.
Headache Triggers
Headaches have many causes, or triggers. These may include foods, environmental stimuli (noises, lights, stress, etc.) and/or behaviors (insomnia, excessive exercise, blood sugar changes, etc.). About 5 percent of all headaches are warning signals caused by
physical problems.
Ninety-five percent of headaches are primary headaches, such as tension, migraine, or cluster headaches. These types of headaches
are not caused by disease. The headache itself is the primary concern.

Dont worry, winter will come. When it does, some tips will keep your four legged furry friends from
being harmed during our winter months, if it ever comes. We all use some type of ice/snow melt on our
driveways and front steps. That ice
melt can cause harm to our furry
friends foot pads if left on. Try to limit
them from walking on the ice melt
stuff. If they do have to walk through
it, make sure to check and see if it
causing them irritation. Look for redness. Also, if your furry friend is licking their paws, it could be caused from
the ice melt. The licking also could be
that their paws have been cold too long
or they have frost nip or frost bite. If
unsure, a call to your Veterinarian is in
order. They can also get frost nip or
frost bite on their skin just like we can.
Sure, they have a fur coat on, hehe, but
the icy winter winds can still hurt them.
A little TLC can go a long way so our
four legged furry friends can enjoy
winter as much as we do, if it ever
comes.
UPDATE : look out your window. Winter has arrived. Woohoo. Another worry though. Most lakes have
JUST froze over. Dont let your four legged furry friends go out on these lakes yet. The ice is unstable
and thin. Us two legged animals should heed the conditions too. Everyone be safe and have fun.

The greatest majority of primary headaches are associated with muscle tension in the neck.. Today, Americans engage in more sedentary activities than they used to, and more hours are spent in one fixed position or posture. This can increase joint irritation and
muscle tension in the neck, upper back and scalp, causing your head to ache.
What Can You Do?
The ACA suggests the following:
If you spend a large amount of time in one fixed position, such as in front of a
computer, on a sewing machine, typing or reading, take a break and
stretch every 30 minutes to one hour. The stretches should take your head
and neck through a comfortable range of motion.
Low-impact exercise may help relieve the pain associated with primary headaches. However, if you are prone to dull, throbbing headaches, avoid
heavy exercise. Engage in such activities as walking and low-impact aerobics.
Avoid teeth clenching. The upper teeth should never touch the lowers, except
when swallowing. This results in stress at the temporomandibular joints
(TMJ) the two joints that connect your jaw to your skull leading to
TMJ irritation and a form of tension headaches.
Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day to help avoid dehydration,
which can lead to headaches.
What Can a Doctor of Chiropractic Do?
A doctor of chiropractic may do one or more of the following if you suffer from a
primary headache:

Wallace W. Yocum passed away on Dec 7, 2015 at

AGI Healthcare in Crandon. He was born on May 24,
1915 in Stanton, KY on
Hatchers Creek. He was the
first born son, being born 15
minutes prior to his twin
brother Walt.
Wallace was the son of Andrew and Amy Yocum. When
he was 3 years old, his father
moved the family from Kentucky to Wisconsin. At that
time, there were five children
in the family. The later four
children were born in the
Crandon area. His mother had two sets of twins, Wallace and Walt and Joy and Jo, twin girls. Jo passed away
at 18 months from pneumonia.
Wallace joined the CCCs in the 1930s. After serving
in the CCCs he came back to Crandon. He married his
wife Edna Harlan on November 13, 1937 in Crystal
Falls, MI. Prior to WWII, Wallace and his family
moved to Washington State. After the attack on Pearl
Harbor, they moved back to Wisconsin and Wallace
went to work at a torpedo factory in Chicago.
In later years he became a truck driver, a trapper and
continued with logging in the summers. He knew what
conservation meant before any government agency and
always planned his logging by the years.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, his
eight siblings: Ann, Nina, Walt, Jack, Hazel, Joy, Jo,
and Frank. He was also preceded by his granddaughter,
Julie Antonuk Fox.
He is survived by his three children, Barbara (Jack) Antonuk of Rhinelander, Terry (Al) Thompson of Crandon
and Rolland Yocum of Crandon. He is also survived by
3 grandchildren, Jeff (Michele) Antonuk, Jennifer
(Mark) Davidson of Chanhassen, MN, and Daniel
(Ugela) Yocum of St. Charles, IL. He is further survived
by four great-grandchildren, Jack and Charlie Antonuk
of Rhinelander and Claire and Sophie of St. Charles, IL.

at St. Marys of The Lakes Catholic Church. After
working many places she found her calling as a
healthcare provider for Visions in Oconto Falls, WI.
Sam enjoyed raising a family, needlework, gardening
and playing her many stringed instruments. Sam was the
musical inspiration in the family singing as a child and
into her adult life. She combined this love of music with
her faith by serving as choir director for St. Marys of
The Lakes parish at Lakewood, WI. In addition to her
role as a choir director, Sam also taught as a catechism

When asked how she wanted to be remembered, Sam
wrote I tried to live my life as to be pleasing to God
and a good example to others, so they might wish for
God in their lives also. I wish for the choir to sing and
ask any friends or relatives who would like to contribute
Lena T. Gorski, age 87, of Suring passed away at home their talents to do so. I request they sing with great joy
on Saturday, January 2, 2016. She was born in Illinois
for me, living with cancer has been no kind of life, so be
on December 27, 1928. She lived in Milwaukee and
happy for me when its over.
