From the Editor-news and notes

March is coming in like a lamb, hopefully. So far it has been above 0 degrees with
the signs of Spring arriving soon. A little more snow and cold temps will be around,
Im sure, until at least May. Start getting your gardening supplies and plans ready.
I only recently learned that donations are being collected to help young Logans
family be able to purchase a headstone for his grave site. If you would like to donate please stop in Wabeno at any of the local businesses or at the Snowman on
Hwy 32 north of Wabeno, to make your donation.
On a much brighter note SPRING will be here SOON. I cant wait for warm
weather again.
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 snowstorms, tornados, fires and floods.
Get Well Wishes to all of our friends and neighbors. Many of our residents, students and
staff alike have picked up the latest round of the flu and colds. Drink a lot fluids, and rest.
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 November, church and school fairs and
holiday dinners.
Birthday Wishes to all of our friends and neighbors;

Gas prices have gone down actually but not as much as they were a year ago.
Theyve gone from $4.15 plus down to $1.95 and a penny or two of more or less. To find out where

The American Diabetes Association has launched a movement to

Stop Diabetes. The goal of the movement is three fold:
To educate the general public about the devastating physical,
emotional and financial toll
diabetes wreaks every hour,
every day, every year on
tens of millions of American
children and adults
To ignite a sense of
urgency about diabetes and
its deadly consequences; and
To inspire individuals, families, communities, corporations and health care providers to get involved and help
to change the future of diabetes.
With nearly 26 million children and adults in the United
States living with diabetes,
and an additional 79 million

Americans at risk, simple awareness will no longer suffice.

As many as one in three American adults will have diabetes in
2050, unless we take steps to Stop Diabetes.
Diabetes is not merely a condition. It is an epidemic. Drastic action is needed, and a new hope is required.
Now, we hope millions will join us in the national movement to
Stop Diabetes:
To stop it from stealing moments, hours and days from millions of people affected by diabetes.
To stop the anxiety, fear and heartache it causes every day.
To stop the blindness and amputations.
To stop discrimination against people with diabetes.
To stop it from haunting our children's future and from stealing
our loved ones all too soon.
Join us. Together, we can Stop Diabetes.
Take the diabetes risk test at www.stopdiabetes.com/
If you are risk for diabetes, contact your healthcare provider for
further discussion.

Well its that time of year again! Cabin Fever is setting in and the winter is feeling LONG.
Our Rebel Basketball teams both won conference champs this year! The Varsity girls went undefeated all season. Both Varsity
teams consist of some positive kids with great leadership skills.
Prom is right around the corner!!! I am already getting the store ready for corsage and boutonnire orders as well as Tuxedo Rentals.
We have once again started our PRINCESS CLOSET at Flowers Galore. The Princess Closet is where you can buy or sell gently
used gowns. We offer it as a service to our communities. Selling a Gown? We dont charge you to sell your gowns and we dont
mark up your asking price. You put your price on them, and we display them in the store for you. Buying a Gown? You dont want
to pay those overpriced retail prices- then stop in and check out our selection.
School News: As most of you know, our Wabeno Elementary School has implemented a new learning/teaching method called Next
Generation/Personalized Learning throughout grades 1-6. When I attended meetings last year to ask why this was happening, I was
told we needed to do something to improve our state test scores (even though the research didnt show positive things). Well, the
new state testing scores are back in. As a whole, our Elementary School has declined in their test scores. So is this new way of learning working? Is it worth the cost our district is spending on it? The test scores we received last year from the pilot classes who
tested this new way of learning didnt show any more growth than the classes that learned the traditional way. Actually some of the
traditional classes had MORE improvement then the pilot classes (Yes, we took this factual info to the board and were told they were
making the changes to grades 1-6 regardless). Our current school board decided to implement it throughout the elementary school
and now the test scores are down even further. Now what do we do? We cant blame the teachers because they are doing what they
can and what they are told to do with all the changes. I have faith our teachers are doing their best with what they are given. So who
does this fall back on? How far do we let the test scores fall before admitting Next Gen / Personalized Learning may not be the best
idea?
Its time to do your research so you know who you are voting
for in the upcoming school board elections. Wabeno School
Board has the possibility of 3 new candidates serving on the
board. Who is willing to put our students first? Who is willing
to give our teachers, support staff, parents and taxpayers their
voices back? Who is willing to do what they can to keep more
people in our district? Who has their priorities straight?
Call the candidates and ask some questions. Jim Smith, Steve
Ashbeck, Dawn Jakubiec and Bill Connors are your candidates
for the Forest County seats (2) and Joan Sackett and Tim
Warrner are your candidates for the Oconto County seat (1) on
Wabeno School Board.
Make it a beautiful month everyone!

Presidential Proclamation Womens History Month

WOMENS HISTORY MONTH, 2015
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
Throughout history, extraordinary women have fought tirelessly to broaden our democracys reach and help perfect our Union. Through
protest and activism, generations of women have appealed to the values at the heart of our Nation and fought to give meaning to the
idea that we are all created equal. As todays women and girls reach for new heights, they stand on the shoulders of all those who have
come before and carry forward their legacy of proud achievement. This month,
we celebrate countless pioneering women and the victories they won, and we
continue our work to build a society where our daughters have the same possibilities as our sons.
Courageous women have called not only for the absence of oppression, but for
the presence of opportunity. They have demonstrated for justice, but also for
jobs ones that promise equal pay for equal work. And they have marched for
the right to vote not just so their voices would be heard, but so they could have a
seat at the head of the table. With grit and resolve, they have fought to overcome
discrimination and shatter glass ceilings, and after decades of slow, steady, and
determined progress, they have widened the circle of opportunity for women and
girls across our country.
Today, more women are their familys main breadwinner than ever before.
Women are nearly half of our Nations workers, and they are increasingly among
the most skilled. At the same time, more than 60 percent of women with children under the age of 5 participate in the labor force. This increasing participation of women in our workforce has bolstered our economy and strengthened
our families, and it has demonstrated that the policies that benefit women and
working families benefit all of us.
But not all of the rules that govern our workplaces have caught up with this reality, and today, too many of the opportunities that our mothers and grandmothers fought for are going unrealized. That is why I am committed to tearing down the barriers to full and equal participation in our economy and society that still exist for too many women. All
women deserve equal pay for equal work and a living wage; the Congress needs to raise the minimum wage and pass a law that ensures a
woman is paid the same as a man for doing the same work. I continue to call for increased workplace flexibility and access to paid leave
including paid sick leave so that hardworking Americans do not have to choose between being productive employees and responsible family members. And I have proposed a plan that would make quality child care available to every middle-class and low-income
family in America with young children. These are not only womens issues they are family issues and national economic priorities.
We know that when women succeed, America succeeds. The strength of our economy rests on whether we make it possible for every
citizen to contribute to our growth and prosperity. As we honor the many patriots who have shaped not only the destinies of other
women, but also the direction of our history, let us resolve to build on their efforts in our own time. As a Nation, we must join our voices with the chorus of history and push forward with unyielding faith to forge a more equal society for all our daughters and granddaughters one where a womans potential is limited only by the size of her dreams and the power of her imagination.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 2015 as Womens History Month. I call upon all Americans to
observe this month and to celebrate International Womens Day on March 8, 2015, with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. I also invite all Americans to visit www.WomensHistoryMonth.gov to learn more about the generations of women who have left
enduring imprints on our history.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand
fifteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-ninth.
BARACK OBAMA

I didnt realize it until it had already happened. I let my four legged furry friend out to do her duty. She takes a bit to find that perfect spot. I
told her, lets go already, as it was getting cold really fast. She scurried back into the house. Thats when I saw it. She was limping a bit.
She sat down and proceeded to lick that paw for about ten minutes. Did
she step on something? Did she
crack a nail? I came to the conclusion she had gotten some frost
nip.
We sometimes take for granted that our furry friends are, furry.
That they are insulated from the cold. The truth is they are just
as susceptible to the cold temps and wind chills as we are. They
can freeze their paws and their skin under all that fur. Watch for
signs. Limping, licking paws and skin. What to do? Talk to
your Veterinarian about symptoms and treatment. They may
need to see them to determine the severity.
With winter still having its grip on Wisconsin, us two legged
and four legged have to watch for winters sting. Be careful out
there and watch out our furry friends dont get stung by old
man winter too.

A Word or Two From Dr. Adam

A "New" Comedy production by Let Me Be Frank Productions is coming to Lakewood on Saturday March 21, 2015.
Ticket price includes Dinner and Tip.
The Comedy Show is about Johnny (Blood) McNally, the
famed "vagabond halfback" totally unpredictable funster on
and off the field. Johnny was a superb runner with breakaway speed and an exceptional pass receiver. Johnny's assumed "Johnny Blood" alias came from a Valentino movie
title "Blood and Sand". He still had a year of college eligibility remaining when he decided to take a shot at pro football. A common practice in the 1920's was to take an alias
to protect college eligibility. Johnny and his friend were
walking past a theater where the movie was playing and he
said "that's it, you be Sand and I'll be Blood".
The best year's for Johnny were with the Packer's, he was a
major contributor to four championship teams in 1929, 30,
31 and 1936. Johnny was born in New Richmond WI in
1903. His off the field antics are what make this show a winner!
Don't miss the fun with other Red Arrow Snowmobile ATV
club members.
Members are being offered tickets before the general public.
Tickets can be purchased for tables of 8, 6, or individual.
Not everyone in your group needs to be a member of the
club. Your guests are welcome to join in the fun.

The speaker for the February meeting of the Nicolet

AARP Chapter 1191 was Steve Janke who is a plant
ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service in the Lakewood
office. Mr. Janke gave the
group an update on nonnative invasive species in
Wisconsin. There are many
invasive species and the costs
to control them and the damage done by them is extensive. Mr. Janke discussed
some of the control measures
that they take and some of the
things that a person can do to
help prevent the spread of invasive species.
The AARP Valentine Dinner held at Mulligans in Townsend was well attended and enjoyed by all. Several
members will be going to the St. Valentines Party at NuRoc Community Healthcare. The March AARP meeting
will start at 7:00 PM which is the regular meeting starting time through the summer.
All persons 50 and over are invited to join the local
AARP Chapter. AARP meetings are social, entertaining,
and informative. Meetings are held at the Lakewood
Presbyterian Church on the fourth Tuesday of each
month starting at 7:00 PM. Contact Joyce West, Membership Chairman, at 715-276-9409.

How to Select Athletic Shoes

Because footwear plays such an important role in the function of bones and jointsespecially for runners and
other athleteschoosing the right shoe can help prevent pain in your back, hips, knees, and feet.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as the very best athletic shoeevery pair of feet is different, every shoe
has different features, and overall comfort is a very personal decision. For this reason, it is recommended that
you first determine your foot type: normal, flat, or high-arched.

The Normal Foot

Normal feet have a normal-sized arch and will leave a wet footprint that has a flare, but shows the forefoot
and heel connected by a broad band. A normal foot lands on the outside of the heel and rolls slightly inward to
absorb shock.
Best shoes: Stability shoes with a slightly curved shape.

The Flat Foot

This type of foot has a low arch and leaves a print that looks like the whole sole of the foot. It usually indicates
an over-pronated footone that strikes on the outside of the heel and rolls excessively inward (pronates).
Over time, this can cause overuse injuries.
Best shoes: Motion-control shoes or high-stability shoes with
firm midsoles. These shoes should be fairly resistant to twisting or bending. Stay away from highly cushioned, highly
curved shoes, which lack stability features.

The High-Arched Foot

The high-arched foot leaves a print showing a very narrow
bandor no band at allbetween the forefoot and the heel. A
curved, highly arched foot is generally supinated or underpronated. Because the foot doesnt pronate enough, usually
its not an effective shock absorber.
Best shoes: Cushioned shoes with plenty of flexibility to encourage foot motion. Stay away from motion-control or stability
shoes, which reduce foot mobility.

An Obituary printed in the London Times - Interesting and

sadly rather true.
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years.. No one
knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were
long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- and maybe it was my fault.

The McCaslin Lioness have made a donation to the Atrusa House

of Green Bay. Lioness Linda VandenLangenberg presented Cheri
Corcoran, Director of the Altrusa House, with a check for $200.00
and items collected from the Lioness club members.
The Altrusa House is available to offer temporary accommodations
to people in need of medical treatments or to support a friend or
loved one in the Green Bay area.
For more information see their website at
www.greenbay.altrusa.org

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies

(don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies
(adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when wellintentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.
Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment
for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for
using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers
for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in
disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get
parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a
student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Named below are commemorative

bricks inscribed with the names of U.
S. servicemen and women, symbolizing the support for the Armed Forces.
Bricks are laid in front of the boulder
and flags at the Veterans War Memorial Park in Wabeno. Its an act of respect to those who have
served and are serving their country in all the branches of military
service over the years. The Memorial Park is a result of much planning
and fundraising by the American
Legion Post 44. Co-Chairman, Byron Erdman and Al Morison thank
all who helped making this tribute
to our service members possible.
The bricks under foot are a time to
remember and reflect all it means to
veterans who have served and their families.
The price of the Memorial Brick is $30.00.and may be purchased
by calling Byron Erdman, 715-276-7519, or by contacting a Legion member who can give you the information needed. Bricks
make a nice gift for loved ones. You will also receive a certificate
which can be framed.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became

businesses; and criminals received better treatment than
their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend
yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar
could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot.
She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a
huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth
and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he
was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not,
join the majority and do nothing.
