From the Editor-news and notes

Acclaimed National Geographic photographer, Lorraine Mahoney, got married this weekend in Sycamore, IL. While we wish we all
could have attended this wonderful event, we were there in spirit. Our congratulations to them both. (see photo on pg 18)
Lorraine while being an avid stormchaser, she is also a lover of animals. Their ring bearer for their ceremony was Ed, a falcon, who she
spent hours in training it to fly their rings to them.
The recently held Monarch Butterfly release was held at the YMCA in
Rhinelander. It was a wonderful sight to see as they took off from their
holding. Paula Larson, Rhinelander, has been raising the butterflies and
releasing them on her twins birthday each year in August. Releasing
the over 200 last week, this group were tagged and will be found arriving in Mexico in the next few months. She has always had a love for
butterflies. To learn more about Larson and the Monarchs, go to
www.facebook.com/monarch.march or email at monarch.march@gmail.com

and prayers to you all. And, to those whose lives were lost in the recent accidents, snowstorms, tornados, fires, floods. and to those whose lives have been lost to the bombings that have occurred overseas.

WASHINGTON, D.C. August 22, 2016 The American Red Cross remains on the ground,
with volunteers across nearly half of the state
of Louisiana helping the thousands of people
who have lost everything they own in the
devastating flooding last week. But the relief organization reports a significant gap in funds raised.
To date, the Red Cross has received approximately $7.8 million in donations
and pledges designated to support Louisiana not nearly enough to cover
the estimate of at least $30 million in costs.
This intense storm wasnt given a name, but it affected as many as 110,000
homes in Louisiana and has changed countless lives forever, said Brad Kieserman, vice president, Disaster Services Operations and Logistics for the
Red Cross. The situation in Louisiana remains critical. People need help, and they need it now. The Red Cross is providing for
immediate needs like food and shelter, and will be there during the clean-up and recovery.
The last time this country saw a disaster this devastating was Superstorm Sandy in 2012, Kieserman said. Today, we are sounding the alarm to urge people to make a financial donation to help our friends and neighbors in Louisiana.
Learn more here how the Red Cross is giving people a place to go when there is no place to go through the words of one
woman who has lost everything.
More than 1,900 Red Cross workers from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico are supporting the relief effort,
along with hundreds of local residents. In addition to providing food and shelter, Red Cross volunteers are providing emotional
support to help people cope. Health services volunteers are monitoring the health needs of people in shelters and replacing things
like lost wheelchairs, eyeglasses and medications.
Its been more than a week since the floodwaters destroyed and damaged thousands of homes and together with local, state and national partners, the Red
Cross has already:
Served more than 260,000 meals and snacks.
Distributed more than 60,000 relief items.
Provided more than 40,000 overnight stays in emergency shelters. Sunday night almost 3,000 people
were still seeking refuge in 19 Red Cross and community shelters.
Handled more than 17,000 calls from people seeking information and help.
HOW TO HELP Help people affected by the Louisiana Floods by visiting redcross.org, calling 1-800RED CROSS or texting the word LAFLOODS to
90999 to make a $10 donation. Donations enable the Red Cross to prepare for, respond to and help people recover from these disasters.
About the American Red Cross:
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the
nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their
families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to
perform its mission. For more information, please visit redcross.org or cruzrojaamericana.org, or visit us on Twitter at @RedCross.

Weddings, weddings and more weddings!! We have so many weddings coming up in September. Either
we are invited to them or I am doing the flowers and tuxedos for them. I do love wedding season!
The Wabeno High School Band is still looking for volunteers to help work the home Packer Games. You
can help the Band plus get the whole Packer Game experience just by volunteering a few hours. Just call
the school and ask to speak with Michelle Boor or call me at the store and I will help get you in touch with
her. We worked the Packer Game on a Friday with 13 other volunteers. It was fun and easy. We served
desserts to the club suites. If you can volunteer your time, sign up with Michelle at the high school. You
wont regret it. We really had a blast helping out.
The volleyball team will once again be selling cookie dough. If you would like some and no one stops to
ask, feel free to call me at the store 715-473-6000.
Happy Birthday to my grandma, Shirley Shampo, who turned 97 on August 21 st. We had a little family get
together for her. Our family is extremely blessed to still have her here with us and we are lucky she is willing to put up with our craziness at her birthday parties.

I would like to take a moment to pay tribute to one of our beloved teachers, Jim Farrell. I took an excerpt
from his obituary. James Owen "Jim" Farrell, age 42, Wabeno and formerly of Gillett, WI, passed away on
Saturday, August 20, 2016. Jim was born in
Milwaukee on May 4, 1974, a son of Owen and
Joan (Vesbach) Farrell. He was raised in Gillett
and was a 1992 graduate of Gillett High School.
Jim was light-hearted and loved making those
around him smile. He was an avid sports fan,
particularly when it came to the Chicago Bulls
and Chicago Bears and had a deep love of music. He spent the last 11 years teaching in the
Wabeno School District and was much loved by
his students and peers. Jim will forever be remembered for his love of family and friends,
students and community. He will be sadly
missed. Mr. Farrell didnt just TEACH.. He
made MEMORIES with his students.
Make it a beautiful month everyone.

Several people have taken the Townsend walking warrior

challenge to walk the 94 miles of Townsend roads. Mary
Campion and Richard Culver recently earned their t-shirts
for completing the challenge. They were the
seventh and eighth to
receive their green tshirts which they proudly wear. Mary and
Richard took several
weeks to complete the
94 mile trek walking
two to three miles at a
time. The Townsend Centennial Committee expects to
give out many more t-shirts this summer.
Mary Campion and Richard Culver said that it was a great
way to get some good exercise and at the same time see all
areas of Townsend. There are so many beautiful areas to
be seen in Townsend. They carried plastic bags to pick up
pieces of trash and beer cans for recycling as they walked
along. Picking up trash was a minor distraction, but it was
a good feeling to make the walk a little more beautiful for
the next person.

The AARP summer picnic at the Mountain Community Center was

enjoyed by members
and their families.
The 37 participants
filled up on brats and
burgers plus a number
of side dishes and
desserts. It was a
pleasant summer day
and a good time was
had by all.
The following Tuesday the August AARP
meeting was held at
the Lakewood Presbyterian Church starting at 7:00 pm. The speaker
for this meeting was Brittany Warrichaiet, RN, BSN, who is a public
health nurse who works for the Oconto County Department of
Health & Human Services. Brittany told the AARP members about
the health services provided by the Public Health Division of Oconto County which are considerable. Brittany recommended the free
Wellness Fair which will be held at the Bond Community Center in
Oconto on September 22, 2016 which includes information, activities and screening services. Registration and free transportation
from Lakewood can be arranged by calling 920-834-5585.

at the Christin Thrift store in Wabeno during their Life Fair.

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

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

bear! Everything to show you what your community has when you

see everyone there!
Mountain Fire Department had honored three
more of our retired Firemen that gave over thirty
years to their community
and be apart of the history of this special department! Ray Hubatch,
Jerry "Bo" Rassmussen,
and Pete Elbe will always be apart of this
family. We are so greatful to try and follow in their foot steps and
continue to build on what they started. Each one of them were
given a small token of appreciation with a plaque in their name
forever etched in an axe to show our bond as a fire department
family. Unfortunately Pete Elbe was not able to attend the dinner,
but we will be giving Pete his well deserved plaque in the near
future. Thank you again for all you have given and we will never
forget!

Preventing Travel Aches and Strains

Traveling can be rough on the body. Whether you are traveling alone, on business or on your way to a sunny resort with your family, long hours in a car or on an airplane can leave you stressed, tired, stiff and sore.
Warm Up, Cool Down
Treat travel like an athletic event. Warm up before settling into a car or plane, and cool down once you reach your destination. Take
a brisk walk to stretch your hamstring and calf muscles.
In an Airplane
Stand up straight and feel the normal S curve of your spine. Then use rolled-up pillows or blankets to maintain that curve
when you sit in your seat. Tuck a pillow behind your back and just above the beltline and lay another pillow across the gap
between your neck and the headrest. If the seat is hollowed from wear, use folded blankets to raise your buttocks a little.
Check all bags heavier than 5 to 10 percent of your body weight. Overhead lifting of any significant amount of weight should
be avoided to reduce the risk of pain in the lower back or neck. While lifting your bags, stand right in front of the overhead
compartment so the spine is not rotated. Do not lift your bags over your head or turn or twist your head and neck in the
process.
When stowing belongings under the seat, do not force the object with an awkward motion using your legs, feet or arms. This
may cause muscle strain or spasms in the upper thighs and lower back muscles. Instead, sit in your seat first, and using
your hands and feet, gently guide your bags under the seat directly in front of you.
While seated, vary your position occasionally to improve circulation and avoid leg cramps. Massage legs and calves. Bring
your legs in, and move your knees up and down. Prop your legs up on a book or a bag under your seat.
Do not sit directly under the air controls. A draft can increase tension in neck and shoulder muscles.
Travel by Car
Adjust the seat so you are as close to the steering wheel as comfortably possible. Your knees should be slightly higher than
your hips. Place four fingers behind the back of your thigh closest to your knee. If you cannot easily slide your fingers in
and out of that space, you need to re-adjust your seat.
Consider a back support. Using a support may reduce the incidence of low-back strain and pain. The widest part of the support
should be between the bottom of your rib cage and your waistline.
Exercise your legs while driving to reduce the risk of any swelling, fatigue or discomfort. Open your toes as wide as you can,
and count to 10. Count to five while you tighten your calf muscles, then your thigh muscles, then your gluteal muscles.
Roll your shoulders forward and back, making sure to keep your hands on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road.
To minimize arm and hand tension while driving, hold the steering wheel at approximately 3 oclock and 7 oclock, periodically switching to 10 oclock and 5 oclock.
Do not grip the steering wheel. Instead, tighten and loosen your grip to improve hand circulation and decrease muscle fatigue
in the arms, wrists and hands.
While always being careful to keep your eyes on the road, vary your focal point while driving to reduce the risk of eye fatigue
and tension headaches.
Take rest breaks. Never underestimate the potential consequences of fatigue to yourself, your passengers and other drivers.
Safe Travel for Children
Always use a car seat in a car when traveling with children below the age of 4 and weighing less than 40 pounds.
Ask the airline for their policy on child car seat safety. Car seats for infants and toddlers provide added resistance to turbulent skies
and are safer than the lap of a parent in the event of an unfortunate accident.

Best friends, Katie Stekbauer and Alex Jenkins, celebrated their

back to school breakfast together. Katie returns to Wabeno Elem and Alex continues in his Homeschooling.

Make sure the car seat is appropriate for the age and size of the child. Newborn infants require a different seat than a 3-year-old
toddler.
Car seats for infants should always face the rear. In this position, the forces and impact of a crash will be spread more evenly
along the back and shoulders, providing more protection for the neck.

Janice Marie Lee January 14, 1934 - August 12, 2016 Janice Marie Lee, age 82,
went to join her beloved husband, Hanky
and son, Danny, in heaven on Friday, August 12, 2016. She was born on January 14,
1934, to Anna (Schmude) and Leslie Lee
and was the youngest of seven children. She
graduated from Omro High School in 1952.
Janice married Francis "Hanky" Lee on
June 1, 1955, at St Mary's Catholic Church
in Oshkosh. Janice and Hanky lived in Poygan and operated a dairy farm where they
raised eleven children. After Hanky's death
in 2003, Janice moved to Riverview Apartments in Winneconne where she resided
until August of 2015. The last year of her
life was spent at Park View Health Center
in Oshkosh. A special thanks to her care
givers at Park View Health Center for their
kindness and care.
Janice worked for the Rockwell Corporation
in Oshkosh prior to marrying Hanky. Janice
and Hanky served as janitors at St Mary
Catholic Church in Winneconne for several
years in the early 90s.
Janice was a very caring person. She
cleaned homes, delivered groceries, did
laundry, provided transportation while being a faithful friend to many. Mostly she
served the elderly and those not able to
perform those tasks for themselves. She was
a member of St. Mary's Family Life, a
group that provided food and services for
those in need. Janice cared for Hanky at
home for about 8 years before his death and
made his wishes to die at home possible.
Janice also cared for her father-in-law John
prior to his death in 1972.
Janice loved her family with all her heart
and her whole life revolved around caring
for them. Janice enjoyed visiting with her
neighbors at Riverview Apartments. She
loved to sit on her deck and watch the boats
and fisherman on the river. Family looked
forward to watching fireworks with her on
her deck. She enjoyed watching Hanky play
baseball for the Poygan Irish. This love of
baseball was carried on with all of her boys
playing baseball. She rarely missed one of
their games. She also enjoyed watching the
Brewers.
Janice is survived by ten children, Barbara
(Thomas) Laabs, Oshkosh; Christine (Gary)
Brill, Poygan; Laurie Lee, Poygan; Gary
(Stacy) Lee, Poygan; Richard Lee (fiance
Roxanne Roehrick), Poygan; Charles Lee,
Oshkosh; Tammy (Malcolm) Davis, Poygan; Terri (Tim) Brauer, Wabeno; Kathleen
Lee, Winneconne; and Jennifer Lee, Appleton. She is also survived by her sister, Bernice Flanigan, Poygan; sisters-in-law,

Louise Lee, Poygan; and Jean Lee, Winneconne. Janice had thirty-two grandchildren
and thirty-eight great-grandchildren. She
lives on in all of us.Along with her husband
of 48 years and her son, she was also preceded in death by a grandson Jordan; and a
great-grandson, Declan.
A visitation for family and friends will be
on Wednesday, August 17, 2016, from 4:00
to 8:00 p.m. at Mueller Funeral Home 904
E. Main St. Winneconne, where a Rosary
will be prayed at 8:00 p.m. Visitation will
continue on Thursday, August 18 from 9:30
to 11:00 a.m. at St. Mary Catholic Church
210 Pleasant Dr. Winneconne. A funeral
Mass will be held on Thursday at 11:00

and Sr. Pam Biehl officiating. Burial will
follow in St. Thomas Cemetery, Poygan.
Thank you Mom for being an amazing example. We have all been truly blessed with
a mother like you. We will miss you.

The Oconto County Economic Development Corporation

(OCEDC) is excited to announce a new loan program available
to new and existing for-profit small businesses located throughout Oconto County. The OCEDC Micro Loan Program is now
accepting applications. Applicants must have fewer than 25 employees and annual sales of less than 1 million dollars. The program is funded by the USDA Rural Business Development Grant
Program and First Merit Bank.

St. Marys of the Lake Catholic Church Students who wish to participate in the Youth Group, call for details. 276-7364.
Church of Christ, 14299 Cty Rd W, Mountain, WI; Sunday Service; 8:30 a.m. Lois Trever, Church Secretary, 715-276-7112

The Micro Loan Program is designed to assist businesses with

smaller loans ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. This program is
less complicated than conventional lending or government sponsored loans. Unlike most government loans which have job creation requirements, the Micro Loan program has none. The program does require some level of private investment. The funds
may be used for a wide range of uses including, but not limited
to, exterior faade improvements, preparation of business plans
or technical studies, purchase of technology based or other equipment, and inventory. Brochures and an application may be obtained from OCEDC either by stopping at our office, via mail, or
downloading the material from our website.

The ferns are starting

to turn brown. The sumac leaves are turning
red. Is fall around the
corner? Maybe. But
there are many warm,
sunny days ahead. Just
because the temps seem
cooler, inside of a car in
sun can still have adverse affects on our four legged friends and our children.
Last I heard 27 kids have died in hot cars this year.
There are no stats on our four legged friends. Temps can
increase 20 degrees in 20 minutes in a car in the sun.
Another condition our furry friends endure is hot concrete and blacktop on their paw pads . Here is a good
rule to follow in that regard. Its called the "5 second
rule." Place the back of your hand on the surface that
you will walk on. If you cannot hold it there for five seconds, it is too hot for your pet. Care of your pet will ensure their health and many years of enjoyment with
them.
