[email protected] THE N EWS YOU C AN USE The exploits of 11-year-old Alexander as he experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life—a day that begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by one calamity after another. But when Alexander tells his upbeat family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him. He soon learns that he’s not alone when his brother, sister, mom and dad all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Anyone who says there is no such thing as a bad day just hasn't had one. Rated PG for rude humor including some reckless behavior and language 81 Mins. It’s a heartfelt comedy adventure about robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada, who learns to harness his genius—thanks to his brilliant brother Tadashi and their like-minded friends: adrenaline junkie Go Go Tamago, clean freak Wasabi NoGinger, chemistry whiz Honey Lemon and fanboy Fred. When a devastating turn of events catapults them into the midst of a dangerous plot unfolding in the streets of San Fransokyo, Hiro turns to his closest companion—a cuttingedge robot named Baymax—and transforms the group into a band of high-tech heroes determined to solve the mystery.

He announced that we have another 6 or so more weeks of winter. He was delighted to share this news as it meant he will get to make more snowmen. So buckle up folks and enjoy the rest of our winter. We are much luckier than the friends and family who are locked in the Blizzard of 2015 on the East Coast. So far they’ve gotten close to 2 feet of snow and high winds in the 60 mph range. Since our last issue, Dec., we have lost some very near and dear friends here at home and those we’ve known in IL. Little Logan lost his battle with cancer shortly before his 10 th birthday in Dec. He was so brave and strong. Gus Heisler recently passed away. He was active in our communities for many years and a friend to many he met. He was the grand marshall in one of the Lakewood Mardi Gras parades. RIP Gus. Two of our friends in IL both fought their fights with cancer. We spent many years side-by-side with our friend Randi Balt working many archery events in the Kane County Fox Valley area in IL. She was also god-mother to my daughter Melanie. She was a vibrant person who always knew just what needed to be done and kept everyone on their toes. RIP Randi. They say an artists work come more to life after their passing. Our friend Hawk was a brilliant artist whose work will last forever. He fought his battle with cancer in strife but lost his life in a recent apartment fire. Here’s one for you Hawk! (raising my glass) On a much brighter note SPRING will be here SOON. 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, tornado’s, fires and floods. Get Well Wishes to all of our friends and neighbors.

This time of year we see a lot of political ads because board member terms are coming to an end. Nothing tears a small town apart faster than politics, more specifically crooked politics. I’m not speaking of Republican vs. Democrat politics. I am speaking of “Right vs. Wrong” politics. Everyone falls into a certain category when a town is divided on “right vs. wrong” politics. The “I don’t want to get involved” people. The “I see the bad stuff going on, and I will talk about it and complain about it, but I wont stand up against the wrongdoers “ people. The “I will defend the wrongdoers no matter what” people. The “Even though I am smart enough to know what they are doing is wrong, I am still going to defend them out of pity, fear or friendship” people. The “I’m naive, and believe whatever I am told without question because certainly no one would do such bad things, it has to be someone else’s fault ” people. The “I am looking at it through the eyes of the law, and I know what they are doing is wrong, and I am standing up for what is right” people. (These are the people who take a lot of the heat). So where do you fall into these local politics? Hypothetical question – Someone who you are defending and supporting is proved to have broken the law or has done something very unethical - do you remain in support of them regardless of right or wrong? Or do you now stand up for what is right? Or, will you place blame elsewhere because you are still in denial? Or do you call the wrongdoers out after having supported them, because you now realize you have been lied to? More importantly, have you changed the way you treat someone, like a friend, because they don’t agree with you on certain issues? Are you open minded? I think we can all agree that when you run for a political office, such as a school board or town board, you essentially become someone’s employer, not to mention, you are working for your constituents – who have a right to keep you in check since they put you in that position. If you take a position on a board or government office, are you prepared to fire someone if you have to? In this day and age, you can’t be their buddy; you have to be their boss. Someone needs to hold state, municipal and school employees accountable, right? This is why we vote for new offices every few years, to TRY to avoid corruption. I was at a meeting where the chairman rudely said “I can’t wait until elections! I can’t wait until all this crap is over with”. I guess if someone feels that negatively about something, maybe that’s not the job for them anyway and they can always step down. In our little town, we have a lot of people running for local town and school board positions right now. Are the candidates running with good intentions, or running with a personal agenda? So, I think it’s only right that we provide our voters with a MEET THE CANDIDATES meeting – 1 for Town Board Elections and 1 for our School Board Elections. Let’s let the voters ask them questions and get the answers. After all, if you are a candidate that wants people to vote for you, don’t you want the voting public to know who you are and where you stand on issues? All candidates should be able to provide the answers the community members seek. Right now, I am under the understanding that there are 6 or 7 people running for town supervisor (2 positions available), 2 people running for town chairman (1 position available) and 2 people running for Treasurer (1 position available). I am unsure of how many are actually running for school board but I believe there are 3 spots vacant and at least 6 people running. I implore you…. Know what each candidate stands for and what they are willing to do for their constituents. Will they be a positive addition to our boards? Will he or she hold people accountable? Are they interested in bringing more people to our schools and communities? Will they do what is right by their entire community? Are they running for the right reasons? What made them decide to run? And just a little friendly advice for those who like to make mountains out of mole hills…. If someone has a camcorder at an open meeting, odds are that it is recording, so when telling the story about what did or didn’t happened at a meeting, you probably should tell the truth, since it only takes 3 minutes to record a DVD copy and show people the actual meeting. I am actually contemplating posting all board meetings on YouTube in the coming year…. It keeps people honest. Make it a beautiful month everyone and please educate yourself before voting. Voting for someone because they are a friend or relative could be detrimental to our communities. WORDS OF WISDOM: Albert Einstein once said “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything”. How true that is! Page 16 T he T imber News "Red Arrow Snowmobile ATV Club, headquartered in Townsend, is in the process of writing its history," says newly -elected Red Arrow President Joseph Kamp. "In that regard, I have directed our Secretary Kim Weireich to assemble an ad hoc committee." Mary has recruited Rhonda Kroll, Kathleen Marsh, and Therese Erler. The group met June 27 to establish goals, procedures, and assign duties. "Red Arrow turns 45 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 45 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."

V olume 1, I ssue 1 Page 5 T he T imber News Town chairman Bruce Karow announced at the January Townsend Town Board meeting that Illinois residents Barbara and Ray (Bud) Oughton Jr. have sent the Town a check for $1000 to be used for Oughton Park on Pickerel Lake. This is the backstory to the donation. In 2013 Kathleen Marie Marsh was working on her history of the township called The Truth About Townsend III: Bust to Boomers. While reading Town Board minutes from 1960, she came across an entry detailing the donation of land and playground equipment for a public park given by “Ray Oughton and Family”. She remembered seeing a sign at the park “Donated by the Ray Oughton Family” and wanted to include Mrs. Oughton’s first name in the book. She asked around and no one had any idea what it was. When she checked online at People Search, she found a listing for Ray Oughton Jr., Woodstock, Illinois. She crossed her fingers and dialed the number. No one answered, but she left a message on the generic voicemail response. After not hearing back for weeks, she thought it was a Red Arrow Snowmobile ATV Club of Townsend is holding their 40th Annual Fish A Ree on the weekend before Valentine’s Day.

Then one night a very apologetic Ray called. He and Barb had been away on one of their many trips and had just gotten her message. “We had a wonderful chat,” Marsh says. “I told him how much I love the park, how beautiful the site is, and how it was almost lost in a land trade in the 1960s, but residents valued it so much they refused the deal. I added that there is a public boat landing there, and that on weekends families picnic on the grounds. I added that the McCaslin Lions had built a very nice shelter there some years back which is used for family reunions and community gatherings.” Eighty-year-old Bud says he was delighted by their conversation: “I hadn’t been to Townsend in over 50 years, but I remembered my folks had donated land for a park before they sold their cottage and moved away. I wondered what happened to it and assumed it was long gone. I also thought Townsend was pretty much the same as the last time I was there in the 1960s. When Kathleen told me that was definitely not the case and invited me to see for myself, I knew I had to go. Barb and I drove up the first weekend of October. We got the full “up north experience” by staying at Lee and Bev Gerndt’s cute and cozy northwoods rental cabin in Townsend. We drove around to the few places still there that I recall, explored the park, ate at the Old Town Hall and Hillcrest, and got front row seats at the Red Light Saloon Show on Saturday night. We had a really great time.

They are gone. You call and call and they are nowhere to be seen. Now what do you do? First, don’t panic. If you think it has been a long time since you saw them last, call the Humane Officer. He is Keith Laluzerne. 715-850-2299. Have a description and if they had tags on a collar on them. Vet tags, county tags, etc. Identifying marks, chip ID. Here is another item that has worked and I have seen in recent months. If you have a picture of your loved one, place that picture on Facebook or Twitter. Who doesn’t have a picture of their four legged child? If you don’t, you should. Not only does it identify your pet, but you should include a family member or yourself in a picture too. You are scratching your head now wondering why. I will give you an example. After hurricane Katrina, many pets and owners were separated. Positive identification was helpful with a picture of your pet with you or a family member. Think about it. Hundreds of lost, found animals and frantic owners looking for them in shelters, holding areas. Never say never. What makes for a happy ending is time. Call the Humane Officer soon after the incident. This time of year weather is a factor in how long the Humane Officer can hold them. Keith does not have a closed in heated holding area. With dangerous wind chills and temps we have already had, they will be brought to the Oconto shelter sooner than later. So, watch your pets closely when they go outside to do their “duty.” If they do wander off, call Keith to give him info and he already may have them. A good day is having them cozy up to you at night after a long day. Have a nice remaining day.

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.

(Jerry) Mattson of Crandon and Jonelle (John) Gregg of Wabeno; her brother, Carl Marsh of Suring; sister-in-law, Headaches & Chiropractic If you have a headache, you’re 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. 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: Perform spinal manipulation or chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal function and alleviate the stress on your system. Provide nutritional advice, recommending a change in diet and perhaps the addition of B complex vitamins. Offer advice on posture, ergonomics (work postures), exercises and relaxation techniques. This advice should help to relieve the recurring joint irritation and tension in the muscles of the neck and upper back. Doctors of chiropractic undergo extensive training to help their patients in many ways – not just back pain. They know how tension in the spine relates to problems in other parts of the body, and they can take steps to relieve those problems.

Hawksley of St. Charles, 60, born 1955, passed away on January 11, 2015. Even after a valiant and courageous battle with lung cancer, a more tragic death consumed his life as a victim of a house fire. He was a loving son of Arthur and the late Phyllis Hawksley; dear brother of the late Alan Hawksley, Kenneth, Keith and LeeAnn Lynch, fond sister in law and brother in law Kristie Hawksley and Bill Lynch, loving Uncle Davey to Morgan, Liam, Connor and Logan and treasured by the Purcell and Liebing families. David was a naturally brilliant and gifted artist with an expertise in pencil and charcoal drawings and a talented carpenter by trade. He was well read and deeply versed with a passion for History. His special love for his friends (and their fierce love for him) was his passion, as well as his devotion to the San Francisco Giants.
