According to Officer Mike Ashbeck, the Wabeno Police Dept. would like your help in naming their
new Police Dog. The two-year old German Shepherd is an immigrant of the Netherlands where he was
born and trained by the British Royal Brigade. If you would like to help name their new dog, stop in at
any one of the libraries in Forest County and Lakewood. If you would like to send your suggestion via
email please send it to:
There are four categories that their new dog will be assisting the Department with: 1. keeping drugs
out of our schools, 2. Will be used to sniff out drug and narcotic’s in a response to a call 3. to assist in
locating lost children and adults and 4. Assist officer’s by utilizing article searches. These ‘article
searches’ may consist of an article of clothing or an item that would carry a persons scent.
Having their new canine officer, the Dept. will be able to relieve other county departments use of their
canine’s when needed. But in return, they may be called upon to assist one of those depts. as well.
Officer’s Steve and Mike Ashbeck spoke before members of the Lakewood Area Chamber of Com-
merce recently explaining their need for funds to care for and continue their training of their new ca-
nine officer. To continue the program the dept will need $47,000 a year. Grants have been applied for
but know that if awarded, will not be the entire amount per year needed. If you would like to donate to this new program, please
contact the non-emergency phone number, 715-473-3121, for the Wabeno Police Dept..

Townsend author Kathleen Marie Marsh announces that Volume II of The Truth About Townsend: Poor Man’s Paradise (1940-
1980) is now available! This is her second book on the history of Oconto County’s northernmost township.

“Volume II contains over 200 photographs, 65,000 words, and at least a quarter million bits of information in
216 carefully researched pages,” says Marsh. “I have spent four years researching and writing the Town of
Townsend’s history, and I believe both books paint an accurate portrait of what life was like here during the
years covered.”

Marsh added, “I am sure people will be delighted to read the many interesting narratives that the new book con-
tains. I worked hard to research every single lead or verify every interesting tidbit of information people gave
me while I was working on the book. Of course, there are two stories about town residents: Julia Lauder, who
was a worldwide celebrity, and Andrew Bagocus who mysteriously disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle in
1947, which will gain immediate attention, but there are dozens of others that will be just as eye-opening, interesting, and enter-
taining to readers.”

Soft-cover copies of Volume II sell for $25.00, tax included. A very limited number of hard cover copies are available for $35.00.
Books may be ordered by calling 715-276-6515 or by emailing kathiemarsh@yahoo.com. For mail orders, send a check to Otter
Run Books; 16965 Nicolet Road, Townsend, WI 54175. Please add $4.95 for each book to cover the cost of shipping.

UNAC by Kathleen Marsh

A dozen writers gathered to discuss and share their work at
the June meeting of Up North Authors Circle (UNAC) held
on June17 at the Lakewood Library. A very enthusiastic
“welcome back” was extended to summer resident Lynn
Burlingham and Townsend poet Jim Adamczyk.

Townsend author Kathleen Marsh led the meeting as she

showed off her latest book, Poor Man’s Paradise, Volume II
of The Truth About Townsend. Marsh noted that the book has
been selling well and early reviews have been excellent. Tom
Thielke of Crandon then informed the group that his compre-
hensive history of Lakewood will be ready on July 26. This
is Tom’s first book, a definitive and meticulously researched
local history book on Lakewood that is a must-read for anyone in northern Oconto County.

Next up was Kansan Lynn Burlingham, who shared a short story. Lynn received much helpful feedback as she is pushing herself to
explore via fiction the depth and despair of people suffering from mental illness. Group co-founder Evelyn Gaede, who writes as
Jamie Pilant, then read a revised introduction of her second book, Jenny’s Destiny. Evelyn has been working hard to complete the
novel, a sequel to her first book, Chelsea’s Doom. As always, Townsend poet Jim Adamczyk, got a round of applause and kudos as
he read one of his delightful poems.

The next meeting of UNAC is scheduled for Wednesday, July 15, at the Lakewood Library, from 6:00-8-00 p.m. New members are
always welcome to attend.

Can Chiropractic Help Me?
by Bonnie Vrchota E: LifeCoach2@aol.com
Back pain doesn't have to be permanent. With X-rays to see
where the problem is and a consultation on the best strategy to
get your back healthy, managing your spinal health through
chiropractic care just might keep you off prescription or over-
the-counter drugs. Not all chiropractors are alike. These tips
might help you decide if it's time to change doctors. How did
you find your chiropractor? Ask friends, relatives, neighbors
and health care facilities. Does your chiropractor make you
feel comfortable? Take the time to explain your managed care,
how long it might take & how insurance might help? Explain
how he/she can help you through manipulation, traction, elec-
trical stimulation, massage and/or rehab? Offer a rehabilitative
component to his/her practice such as stretching, strength train-
ing exercises and/or massage? Refer out to physicians if he/she
doesn't feel they can help you? If you feel your chiropractor
isn't interested in you, is too pushy, sells you on the idea you
need to be there weekly the rest of your life, takes too many X-
rays, isn't helping your problem after a few months or tells you
without manipulation you could be harming yourself; consider
changing chiropractors. Find a good chiropractor then tell your
family and friends. Decide for yourself if it's time for a
change.

A Word or Two From Dr. Jason

Where's The Fruit?
Over half of the most aggressively advertised children's foods that prominently feature
fruit on their packaging contain no fruit at all, according to a study released by the
Strategic Alliance for Healthy Food and Activity Environments. The study - Where's the
Fruit? reveals that 51 percent of these products do not contain fruit, and another 16
percent contain only minimal amounts of fruit despite prominent fruit promotions on
the packaging.

"Parents drawn to products that seem healthier for their children based on references
to fruit on the packaging are being deceived," explains Leslie Mikkelsen, a registered
dietician with the Strategic Alliance and lead author of the study. "Food and beverage
companies are some of the most sophisticated communicators in the world and are
clearly capable of accurately reflecting what is in their products if they wanted to."

The Where's the Fruit? study identifies the most heavily advertised children's food prod-
ucts that include words and images of fruit and/or fruit ingredients on the packaging. A
total of 37 products were included in the final study, and their ingredient lists were ana-
lyzed to determine the presence of fruit ingredients. A full 51% of the products con-
tained no fruit ingredients at all despite
the images of fruits and use of words
such as "fruity," "fruit flavors" and
"berry" on the packaging.

"The nation is facing a staggering epi-

demic of chronic diseases that result
from poor eating and physical inactivity,"
cautions Dr. Andria Ruth, a pediatrician
for the Diabetes Resource Center of
Santa Barbara. "Children are particularly
affected and these food companies are
making parents' jobs even harder by us-
ing misleading packaging to lead them to
think that they are making a healthy
choice when they are not."

will "Review the Pillowcase " pattern, and demo the "Disappearing 9 patch - from the book-"Slice Em and Dice Em", show the
"Summer Funn" picnic quilt, and demo Aunt Philly's Toothbrush rug.

She will have patterns and tools along for sale, and discuss the Long Arm quilt machine rental. She will also have fat quarters, half yard
cuts, and quilt kits to sell.

At our August 3 sewing session, we will learn how to attach yo-yos by machine. Also, after we do our practice yo-yo. it can be turned
into a very cute pin cushion which we will work on.

Bring a sewing machine and the usual supplies. You will need 3 coordinating 6" squares of fabric, machine sewing thread, al least 1/2
yd. of medium to large rick-rack that coordinates with your fabric and a skein of floss that is a nice contrast to your rick-rack, a long
embroidery needle, enough stuffing or leftover batting to stuff a good sized pin cushion, a larger matching button, and scissors.. Diana
will start showing the yo-yo technique at 2:00 and will do it later for any late arrivals if necessary. She will bring the cushion to the July
meeting to show the finished product.

Before 1881, we can only wonder what the northern portion of Oconto County was like. A good guess would be
‘wilderness’. That ‘wilderness’ changed drastically when the Holt & Balcolm company set up camp on the
McCaslin Brook. This camp, named Depot Camp, is still sitting on its original site on the grounds of the McCaus-
lin Brook Golf Course. Logging brought men to the area which brought settlement. Side note; there are two spell-
ings of McCaslin/McCauslin Brook, next issue!
In 1889, the Mountain Post Office was established. Andrew Frost served as its first postmaster.
In 1894, Potawatomi Indians groups settled in the northern edge of Oconto County and southern areas of Forest
County.
In 1896, John Frye settled on 40 acres of land in the Lakewood area under the Homestead Act signed by Pres.
Theodore Roosevelt. The railroad was coming through Lakewood which gave the local economy a boost. J.G.
Anderson built a home on the west end of town. This building stands today and is now known as the Olde Home-
stead Gift Shop.
1897 saw the completion of the railroad through Lakewood and also the establishment of the Post Office which
was housed in the Anderson home with J.G. Anderson as the first postmaster.
In fall of 1905, the Lakewood schoolhouse was completed.
In the Spring of 1907 a fire caused by a steam loader
at The Oconto County Works in Lakewood claimed one of five carloads of logs that were standing on the tracks
despite the efforts of many to douse the flames.
June 23, 1909, John P. Schultz becomes postmaster of the newly established Townsend Post Office. Also in 1909,
Albert Anderson and Bernard Mosling start up the Lakewood Mercantile Co. across from the railroad station in
Lakewood.
1912 saw the last log drive down the Oconto River, bringing an end to the big lumber era in our area. Oscar S.
Isaacson, who worked with Albert Anderson in the Lakewood Mercantile was named postmaster and held Post
Back In The Day…
Before Lakewood was a tourist mecca, it was home to loggers and farmers and a scat-
tering of businesses that thrived in our beautiful northwoods. Some familiar names of
the era were; Holt & Balcolm, ‘the’ name in logging for the Lakewood area. The
company had several camps in the area on both the McCaslin Brook and Oconto
River. Originating in 1881, the Holt & Balcolm Lumber Company had a long run,
ceasing operations in 1938.

Farming was, in general, what loggers did for a living during the summer months.
Some farming family names still exist in the area today, maybe you’ll recognize a
few; Jeranek, Smith, Jackson, Keesler, Smyth, Rosio, Chalender, Lowery, Finsky,
Kuss, Christenson, Rasmussen, Redinger, Greasby, Conley, Anderson, Marshall,
Bohm, Bowman, Fuller, Fenn, Coles and Haessley. Assuredly, there are many more,
as farming was not only a living but a way of life.

In any town, be it large or small, there is always that certain family that seemed to get
the town going. Lakewood’s ‘first family’ is John G. and Stacy Anderson. Their
home, which stands yet today as the Olde Homestead Gift Shop, is noted as the first ‘real’ house in Lakewood. Mr.
Anderson is also credited with building the brick structure that houses the Lakewood Area Chamber of Commerce
and the Pie Shoppe, it was originally a laundry for the railroad and loggers. John’s brother, Albert, was one of the
original owner/operators of the Lakewood Mercantile Co.

Early Bird Shoppers

During the logging era, shopping was a one stop affair with lumber
camps operating stores at their larger sites. Anything a lumberjack
needed, he could get at the camp store. But as lumberjacks began to
actually settle in the area and start families, the opportunity arose
for other stores to be built. The first in the area was the trading post
at Waubee Lake. Built around 1884 by Able, Abram and Henry
Tourtilott, the post
served settlers, loggers
and Indians that fre-
quented the area. The
post was sold to the Lan-
glois’, then to Hick
McConley. The business was believed to be located on the shore of
Waubee Lake near what is Powers Lane today.

It is said that the first store in Lakewood was built by Delbert Baker and
was later sold to the Gehling Brothers. After some time, the building
became a tavern.

Ike Young built both a hotel and a store in Lakewood which were
consumed by the 1914 fire that devastated the town.

On July 12, 1905, the Western Town Lot Co. of Iowa, sold a small
parcel of land to Albert O. Anderson and Bernard Mosling. In 1909
the two men put up a wood frame building that would become the
Lakewood Mercantile Co. Anderson and Mosling soon found the
mercantile business too confining and hired Oscar S. Isaacson to
run it for them. In 1919, Oscar purchased the business.

McCaslin Lions Host Kids Fishing Outing

The McCaslin lions club hosted their annual fishing outing for 29 special needs children from Wabeno Elementary School. The
outing was at Silver Moon Springs trout pond in Elton. Fishing was good. Trophies were awarded to boys and girls that caught
the first, second and third largest fish. For the boys trophies were awarded for the largest fish to Jordan Buski, the second larg-
est fish to Gage Micoley and the third largest to Austin Pratt. For the girls trophies were awarded to Trina Leonard for the
largest fish, Ryann Mason for the second largest and Alice Reininger for the third largest fish. A lunch was served before de-
parting back to school. The McCaslin Lions thank John & Ryan Nickel, the
memorial to Edward Edds and Pintsch’s Hardware for their contributions
making this outing the success that it was.
 MYSTERY IN THE MUSEUM
In the last month, members of the historical society have been busy getting the museum ready for opening for the season. One of things
that must be done is to catalog any artifacts. In the process of sorting through items, an unidentified picture was found. There was no
paperwork to indicate who had donated the picture or what the relationship to Forest
County is.

On the back of the picture, the individuals are identified as follows:

Left rear: Adela Goller - mother
Right rear: Clara Schroeder - grandmother
Right front: Wilbur Goller - son
Left front: Louis Liprold (maiden name Knaack)

In the 1930 Federal census, Milwaukee, District 336, an Adela Goller with her hus-
band Christ J. and sons Wilbur and Robert are listed under the household of Ludwig
SCHRVEDER, wife Clara, sons Erwin and Herbert. Adela is listed as daughter of
Ludwig and Clara. The information provided by the census seems to indicate that
this is a good possible identification with the exception of the spelling of the last
name of Schroeder/Schrveder. However, it is well known that census takers didn't
not always spell names correctly.

The surname of LIPROLD could not be found on any searchs. It is very possible
that the name was not spelled correctly when written on the picture. In addition, the
first name of Louis is normally a man's name, not a woman's. The first name should
probably be Louise.

The question is, what relationship do these women have to Forest County? If any-
one is familiar with these names or you recognize anyone in the picture, please let us know at the historical society.

Local Pilots Help Young People Discover Flight Through EAA

EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wis. — (June 26, 2009) — An area pilot has now given more than 900 young people a free
demonstration airplane ride as part of the EAA “Young Eagles” program, which is introducing a new generation to the world of flight.

Among the more than 40,000 pilots around the world

who have donated their time and aircraft to the effort is
Ed Jeziorny of Lakewood, Wis. All pilots in the Young
Eagles program explain the safe operation of airplanes
and principles of flight before the short trips. Partici-
pating young people become official Young Eagles with
the flight, receiving a certificate signed by the pilot and
Young Eagles chairman Harrison Ford. The names of
the pilots and the participants are also included in the
“World’s Largest Logbook,” which is on permanent
display in the EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh,
Wis., and online through the Young Eagles web site.

The Young Eagles Program was unveiled by the Experi-

mental Aircraft Association (EAA) in July 1992 and has
now flown more than 1.4 million young people, primar-
ily between the ages of 8 and 17. EAA is a worldwide organization with 160,000 members who enjoy all facets of recreational flight. The
Young Eagles program goal is to allow young people to experience positive activities and discover the possibilities available to them within
the world of aviation. For more information, visit www.youngeagles.org. You can contact Ed at the Pour Haus in Lakewood, WI to ar-
range for a flight.
