From the Editor-news and notes

It’s been a few busy weeks here in the northwoods. July 4th parades were well attended, however, the Townsend Fireworks show
due to weather was rescheduled to July 9th.
Have you notice how the traffic on the weekends has grown since the snow melted. Welcome our visitors to the area but do be care-
ful as many fly through town. Did you think we could have used a traffic cop at Super Valu and Family Dollar during the July 4th
holiday. Oh my gosh, the lines at the gas stations reminded me of the 1970 gas crunch with long lines to the gas pumps.
Get Well Soon to our neighbors and friends. Tony of Northern D’Lites is still hospitalized. It will be some time before he will be
able to come home. Please keep him in your prayers. Tony suffered extensive injuries from a fall while working at construction job.
UPCOMING EVENTS; Lakewood Mardi Gras! Be sure to get your chairs set up early so you can have a front row seat during the
parade. Buy your ride tickets early. $20 for 10 rides per person. Available at Super Valu.
The weather If you haven’t seen the local reports in the last few weeks then you would’ve missed all the storm reports
that the state and local area reporters kept everyone up to date on the storms progression. TV channels broke in on day
shows with updates of where and what damages were in Stevenson and the Pelican Lake area in June and again in mid
July throughout the northeast region. Trees and power lines were down leaving some areas without power for several
hours in June and in mid-July. Flooding in the Green Bay area was high as 2 to 3 feet in some areas. Here locally, how-
ever, the storms wind blew strong and dropped close to 2 inches in some places and maybe an inch in others. According
to the local news channels the Green Bay area had not seen so many inches fall in a single days rain since 1890.
Birthday Wishes to all of our friends and neighbors. Happy Birthday goes out to TJ Padgen PADGEN Photography, Colleen
Cumber, Bartels Real Estate, Hope Ritchie of Long Lake. Kaye Gramer Bailey, Jenni Schuety, (MN) Sandy Panacek, Tiffany M.
Schuety, (MN), Laura Meyer (IL) Melissa Goodenough and her sister Jolene Reini, both who celebrate in August. Also, to my kid
sister Laura in Atlanta who loves to remind me that she’s 10 years younger almost to the day of mine. JoMarie Laycock, a young
talented artist just waiting to be discovered. Phil Adamaczyk who is an accomplished writer.

By Kathleen Marsh

One of the most wonderful things about doing genealogy is making friends with relatives you never knew you had. Just ask John
Brantmeier and his cousin Kathleen (Kate) Alexander. Through genealogy, the two found
they share the same great-grandmother, Margaret Seubert Brantmeier. The connection has
led to a wonderful friendship.
When John’s mother Rose Mary passed away in 2005, she left a box filled with an unfin-
ished task: writing her family history. The box was passed among her eight children, end-
ing up in John’s Townsend home. As he began rummaging through notes, prayer cards,
clippings, and assorted documents, he developed a deep interest in his ancestors. As part of
his research, he sent a letter to the Diocesan offices in Green Bay seeking Baptismal re-
cords. He included a picture his mother had labeled: Monsignor Andrew Seubert.
A few days after he mailed his letter, Kate Alexander was on a summer visit home to Little
Chute, Wisconsin. She has been living and teaching in Germany for over thirty years and
has become very interested in genealogy. She decided to use her last day home to do re-
search at the Diocesan offices. When she mentioned she was researching the Brantmeiers,
the attendant said, “Funny, I just got a letter from a Brantmeier.” As the woman produced
the letter and the photo, Kate was overcome with emotion. She knew that face. She had an
identical picture in her family collection.
Kate called John and the two began corresponding. In 2007 John and wife Linda went to the Brantmeier ancestral home in Hausen,
Germany, for Hausen’s 1000th (yes one thousand!) year anniversary. A visit with Kate and her husband Sam was a highlight of their
trip. Kate and Sam enjoyed a memorable visit to Townsend last year. She liked it so much she brought her sister Colleen here this
summer. The Brantmeiers are going to Germany for Octoberfest this year and eagerly anticipate a visit with Kate and Sam.
Some might say John and Kate’s paths crossed due to blind luck. They disagree. They call it divine providence.

Are You Distracted?

By Boni Verchota

Do you have so much on your mind you can’t concentrate to get it

all done? Too many online accounts, Facebook, Twitter? Too many
emails calling out to you daily? Too much stuff to get rid of, includ-
ing old emails, junk? Being bombarded with too many interrup-
tions? Are you trying to multi-task to get it all done? Studies have
demonstrated that our brains just can’t handle multi-tasking effec-
tively. So, how can we do it all?

Break a task into manageable pieces. Create an optimal, quiet, work

environment without distractions such as T.V., music, people &
pets. Now, complete one task at a time. Not motivated to do it? Ask
yourself why you want or need to do this. Make your goal clear.
Write down what you want to get done. You’ll find you can con-
centrate once you are motivated. Make sure you eat smaller meals,
more often. Fruit, yogurt and grained breads may improve your
focus better than not eating or overeating (remember the no flour/no
sugar rule). Take short breaks to stretch, walk or eat a healthy
snack. Exercise increases oxygen and glucose supplies to your brain
to help keep you sharp. Reward yourself for getting the task done.
Your brain will produce dopamine and you’ll feel even better about
starting the next task!

A Word or Two From Dr. Adam

Stress Relief
Stress has become a fact of life, and for some, the daily norm. Although occasional stress can help improve our focus
and performance, living with chronic stress can backfire by causing anxiety, depression, and serious health problems.
Understanding who we are, knowing our major struggles, putting them in perspective, and taking action can help us
deal with stress. The following strategies can also improve stress tolerance and help lessen the effects of stress on our
health.
Think Positively
“Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into positive,” said Hans Selye, author of the groundbreaking
work around stress theory. When optimism is hard to muster, cognitive-behavioral therapy, which trains people to rec-
ognize negative thinking patterns and replace them with more constructive ones, can also help reduce the risk of
chronic stress and depression.
Get Out and Enjoy Nature
While modern civilization has made our lives more convenient, it has deprived us of an essential source of stress re-
lief—connection with nature. Studies show that interacting with nature can help lessen the effects of stress on the nerv-
ous system, reduce attention deficits, decrease aggression, and enhance spiritual well-being.
“Smell the Roses” for Better Mood
Aromatherapy, or smelling essential plant oils, recognized worldwide as a complementary therapy for managing
chronic pain, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and stress-related disorders, can help you unwind. Orange and lavender
scents, in particular, have been shown to enhance relaxation and reduce anxiety.
Laugh It Off
Humor relieves stress and anxiety and prevents depression, helping put our troubles in perspective. Laughter can help
boost the immune system, increase pain tolerance, enhance mood and creativity, and lower blood pressure, potentially
improving treatment outcomes for many health problems, including cancer and HIV. Humor may also be related to
happiness, which has been linked to high self-esteem, extroversion, and feeling in control.
Build a Support System
Relationships are also key to health and happiness, especially for women. Women with low social support, for example,
are more likely to increase blood pressure under stress. Loneliness may also contribute to stress in both men and
women, also leading to poorer outcomes after a stroke or congestive heart failure. On the other hand, active and so-
cially involved seniors are at lower risk for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Social support also helps cancer patients
to boost the immune system and maintain a higher quality of life.
Calm Your Mind
In recent decades, many forms of meditation have gained popularity as relaxation and pain relief tools. Focusing on our
breath, looking at a candle, or practicing a non-judgmental awareness of our thoughts and actions can help tune out
distractions, reduce anxiety and depression, and accept our circumstances. In cancer patients, meditation-based stress
reduction enhances quality of life, lowers stress symptoms, and potentially benefits the immune system.
Guided imagery, such as visualizing pictures prompted by an audiotape recording, also shows promise in stress relief
and pain reduction. Based on the idea that the mind can affect the body, guided imagery can be a useful adjunct to can-
cer therapy, focusing patients on positive images to help heal their bodies.
Give Exercise a Shot
To get the best of both worlds, affecting the mind through the body while getting into good physical shape, try exercise.
In one study, a group of lung cancer patients increased their hope due to exercise. Exercise can also reduce depression
and improve wound healing in the elderly. Tai chi, which works for people of all ages, may enhance heart and lung
function, improve balance and posture, and prevent falls, while reducing stress.
No matter what stress-relief methods you choose, make it a habit to use them—especially if you feel too stressed out to
do it. As someone once said, the time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.

TFA Boating Safety Certificate
Class Graduates
Students successfully completing the first session of the Town-
send Flowage Association Boat Safety Training Seminar are
now certified to operate watercraft. Instructors Bruce Beno, Dan
Coopman, Sherman Laundrie, and Bud Nackers taught the three
day course, which is believed to be the only one currently of-
fered in Oconto County.
Wisconsin State Law says that if you were born after January 1,
1989, you are required to have a Safety Certificate to legally
operate any motorized watercraft. Uncertified operators can be
cited and fined up to $200.00.
Due to the high demand for this training, a second session will
be conducted in August. If you were not able to enroll this year
and are still interested in acquiring a Safety Certificate, you can
reserve a spot in a class to be offered in Spring 2011 by calling
TFA President Dan Coopman (715-276-6157).

children’s health--especially
when the TV is off
Looking for ways to connect with your
children and help them be healthier?
Sharing meals together and turning off
the television during your meals are
two ways for parents to encourage
their children to make healthier food
choices, maintain a healthy weight,
and share family interests and values.
“The importance of family meals and
limiting the amount of time children
spend watching TV have received a lot
of attention recently, especially in
light of growing concerns about child-
hood obesity,” says Terri Miller, nutri-
tion education program coordinator
with the University of Wisconsin-
Extension.
Studies conducted at the University of
Minnesota, Harvard and Rutgers
found that the more often adolescents
ate family meals with their parents, the
more likely they were to eat fruits,
vegetables and calcium-rich foods
such as milk, and the less likely they
were to drink sweetened beverages
such as soda. When the television was
off during family meals, adolescents
ate more dark green/yellow vegetables
and calcium-rich foods, and fewer
sweetened beverages than when the
television was turned on.
“We also know that children who are overweight spend more time watching TV than children who are not over-
weight,” says Miller. Not only are children inactive while watching television, but they also are being exposed to
persuasive advertisements for high fat, high sugar foods.
Research has shown that young children who eat with other family members tend to eat more from the basic food
groups such as fruits and vegetables. “Young children are much more likely to eat vegetables when they see mom
or dad eating vegetables,” says Miller.
Family meals also provide opportunities to talk with children and build family bonds. They may even contribute to
young children’s language and brain development and help protect adolescents against use of tobacco, alcohol and
marijuana, poor grades in school, depression, suicide and eating disorders.
With today’s busy lifestyles, it can be difficult to find time to eat together. Miller suggests that parents plan for at
least one meal together as a family each week, and try not to let other things interfere. Some families find it’s eas-
ier to eat breakfast together than other meals during the day. Other families find weekends to be the best times.
“Show that family meals are important by turning off the television and cell phones,” advises Miller.
Parents might not have the power to control all of the things in their environment that affect their children’s health
and well-being. But they can make a point of eating meals with their children and turning off the television.
For more suggestions on ways to encourage healthy eating habits, contact Terri Miller, UW-Extension Nutrition
Program Coordinator for Florence, Forest and Vilas counties at 715-479-3653.

Brody, Kevin Pollak, Jason Lee , Michelle Trachtenberg Two
longtime NYPD partners on the trail of a stolen, rare, mint-
condition baseball card find themselves up against a merciless,
memorabilia-obsessed gangster. Jimmy is the veteran detective
whose missing collectible is his only hope to pay for his
daughter's upcoming wedding, and Paul is his "partner-against-
crime" whose preoccupation with his wife's alleged infidelity
makes it hard for him to keep his eye on the ball. Rated R for
pervasive language including sexual references, violence and
brief sexuality
