The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the

survival of the species across two time periods in XMEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. The beloved characters from the original "X-Men" film trilogy join
forces with their younger selves from "X-Men: First
Class," in an epic battle that must change the past -- to
save our future. Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi
violence and action, some suggestive material, nudity and language
132 Minutes

Someone once observed: "America is great because she is

good; if she ever ceases to be good she will cease to be great."
Today that notion of the essential goodness of America is under
attack, replaced by another story in which theft and plunder are
seen as the defining features of American historyfrom the
theft of Native American and Mexican lands and the exploitation of African labor to a contemporary foreign policy said to
be based on stealing oil and a capitalist system that robs people
of their fair share. Our founding fathers warned us that, although the freedoms they gave us were hard fought, they could
very easily be lost. America stands at a crossroads, and the way
we understand our past will determine our future. America the
movie takes 21st-century Americans into the future by first
visiting our past.Rated PG-13 for some violent images

the enthusiasm as the parade moved north along the Nicolet

thank them enough for their support of this event and their
yearlong support of the club. Look for the bar with the snowmobile (and now ATV) on the roof just north of Townsend.

From the Editor-news and notes

September got off to a stormy start here in the northwoods. Around 11 a.m. on Sept 4th the winds had picked up and got as high as
70 mph. The damage the winds did was unbelievable. The Warnners lost 12 of their trees which landed on their roof and a car. Other
families had branches down and yard furniture and decorations thrown about. The winds had knocked out power for some as short as
6 or 7 hours where others were out for up to 3 days. Once their power came back they found losses of food in their freezers and refrigerators and others the damages done to their homes and cars. The majority of the businesses on Hwy 32 had their power back by
6 or 7 p.m. and some did not. There were 1000s of stories from residents and tourist as to what happened where they lived or were
visiting. All in all, our thanks goes out to all of the employees of WPS and to those who pitched in to help clean up.
I took a drive through Oconto, Langlade, Oneida and Forest Counties to see all of the changing colors of Fall in the Northwoods.I
found several areas where the trees are still a few more days from peaking their full colors. Indian Summer should fall the first
week in October which, hopefully, will bring tourist to wander our highways and back roads to see Mother Natures beauty.
PLEASE if you are traveling or just going to town, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILDREN OR PETS in your car for even a minute dash.
When you suspect bad weather KEEP YOUR EYES TO THE SKY and YOUR EARS OPEN TO THE SOUNDS AROUND YOU
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 tornados, fires and floods.
Get Well Wishes to all of our friends and neighbors.

The 4th Annual Northern Wisconsin Athletic Program Ride held

in Lakewood, WI turned out to be an exciting one for a school
teacher from Suring. Robin Lincks, who also worked at the
Lakewood Supervalue during the summer, was the proud recipient of a 2014 250CC
Renegade Motorcycle.
Over the past 3 years,
organizers have gathered to raise funds to
help the Wabeno-Laona
Combined School District Athletic Program.
Each year a different
item is raffled off. A 250CC Renegade motorcycle was chosen
as the grand prize to stir up interest and excitement. Which it
did. Organizers are already thinking of what they could do for
next year.
Thank you to all of those who purchased a raffle ticket.

Someone (an artist) used different colored chalk and decorated our pickle ball court. It only lasted a day or
so because of the rain so few people saw it. It was really
cool to see. A child was with this person because there is a
hop scotch area
chalked in on the
side. We have
no idea who did
it or why said
Ann Hogan.
Ann is looking
for the creative
artist to thank
them for sharing
their talents.
Was it you or do
you know who
may have stopped by the Riverview Fire Dept playground.

A 130 year old log rescued from Reservoir Pond in Townsend is

now safely ensconced in its new home at the Holt & Balcom
Logging Camp Museum in Lakewood. Donated by Debbie and
Kyle Roeser of Green Bay, the log has a U and a D clearly
marked in two places, identifying it as an original log from the
[Uri] Balcom and [Devillo] Holt Lumber Company. The log was
taken down with a two-man crosscut saw, indicating it was cut
after 1880 when that tool was introduced to the logging industry.
It was most likely cut prior to 1887 when Holt bought out Balcom and use of this blaze (stamp) was discontinued.
When I called Jeff Radish, owner of Radish Crane Company,
Townsend, he quickly agreed to transport and position the log,
said Camp Curator Kathleen Marsh. We are so grateful to Jeff
for donating his services. He expertly loaded the log, hauled it
out to the Museum, and carefully inched it into place.
Marsh added: What is now our oldest artifact sits on a stand
built by one of our most faithful volunteers, Bruce Beno. Bruce,
my husband Jon, and Camp Manager Bob Brown assisted in positioning the log. Bob immediately took charge of the preservation process.

ture visitors, especially the hundreds of area fourth graders who

tour the Museum each spring as part of their study of Wisconsin
history, Norb said. This is truly a precious and rare relic of
Nineteenth Century northwoods history, and it is exciting for us
to be able to add it to our collection."
The first large group to view the log will be members of the Wisconsin Woodlands Association. Their visit on September 19 is
part of an optional tour offered to those attending the WWA
Convention at the Potawatomi Casino and Hotel in Carter. Later
that evening the Museum is also providing the after-dinner entertainment, Letters from the Logging Camp. The play is an original dramatization written by Kathleen Marie Marsh. Narrated by
Shirley Ashbeck, it chronicles four years (1892-95) in the lives
of Holt Lumber Company owner W.A. Holt and his wife Lucy
(Kathleen Marsh) as well as fictitious characters Foreman Harold
Hooker and his wife Henrietta (Beth Hartman), and Camp Cook
Henry Hauser and his wife Hannah (Cindy Jonet).

Stacy (Schraeder) Chrisman has worked at our school as a Kindergarten teacher since she graduated college. Stacy is this generations
Mrs. Tobin. Stacy has always taught with a kind heart and loving
touch. She is truly a teacher who puts her students above herself.
Stacy always had plans to retire from Wabeno School (when and if
we were willing to let her go in 20+ years). There are only a few
people with the true gift and passion for teaching and Stacy is one
of those teachers.
It is with great sadness that I report she has left our district. Not
for more money or better location, but because she needed to do
what was right for her. She has started teaching 4K in Laona. Stacy
loves to teach, nothing could ever stop that. She is one of those
people who will never get burned out from teaching beautiful little
minds. I hope one day she comes back and retires from Wabeno

Why did our district let someone like her go, when she is so important to the core of our school? I was at a school board meeting a
few months ago after Tiffany Pakulski resigned, and I inquired
about our school board conducting Exit Interviews. They said it
was something they would look into doing. I sure hope they do. We
can not keep losing our greatest teachers and support staff. Our
open enrollment out of district has skyrocketed as well. We need to
know why. We owe it to our teachers, students, and community to
find out why so many people are opting out of our schools.
Stacy Chrisman is a pillar of support, an epitome of strength, as
loving as a mother, as caring as a friend, a disciplinarian, yet always
so approachable and warm at heart. She is more than a teacher; she
is a beautiful human being. Thank you, Stacy Chrisman, for all you
have given Wabeno School District. You are already missed dearly.

So, what happened to summer. Or, a better way to say it is we

didn't have summer. Oh well, maybe next year. But, with fall
and winter coming fast, we need check and see that our outdoor
animals are safe and their equipment in good order.
Checking the attachment anchors for leads and kennel doors are not coming loose or cracked/ broken.
Doggie/ Cat doors are secure and weather tight. On
the animals: collars are not worn. The ID tags are
legible. The anchor that attach to the collar ring are
still secure. If you use a water bowl warmer, does it
work. The kennel itself. Does the door work properly. Are the
corner attachments secure. If you have a roof on it, is it still secure. By checking all of these things now, surprises will not
happen when the dead of winter comes down on us.
Just a reminder, the Oconto shelter is still in need of donations
and other items like kitty litter, the non clumping kind. Bleach,
detergent, cleaning supplies, blankets, etc. If you want to donate
to them. give them a call at 920-8351738. Their hours and days vary so
you can leave a message or call when
they are open. Any donation of food,
cleaning supplies, money will be

A Word or Two From Dr. Adam

Nutrition Advice for a Healthy New You
There is no better way to rejuvenate your health than by eating more nutritiously. In fact, even a few simple
changes in your diet and lifestyle can have a positive impact on your health-and can also prevent a variety of
health problems in the future.
Lifestyle Changes

Exercise at least 20 to 30 minutes three or four days a week.

Eat out more sparingly. Food preparation methods in restaurants often involve high amounts-and the wrong
types-of fat and sugar.
Brown-bag your lunch to control your fat and sugar content while adding nutritious fruits, vegetables, and
grains.
Dietary Changes

Eat more raw foods. Cooking and canning destroys much of the nutrition in foods. With the exception of
canned tomatoes, which can help prevent prostate cancer, fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables always have
more natural vitamins and minerals.

Select organically grown foods when possible, because they have lower amounts of toxic elements, such as
pesticides and heavy metals.

Consume 25 to 30 grams of fiber a day. Whole-grain breads and cereals, beans, nuts, and some fruits and
vegetables are good sources of fiber. High-fiber diets can help prevent digestive disorders, heart disease, and
colon cancer.

Drink eight to ten 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Coffee, tea, soft drinks, and alcohol are dehydrators. Don't substitute them for water.
Supplements According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, dietary supplements are not substitutes for
foods, nor can a person sustain good health by just taking
vitamin and mineral supplements. When taken properly,
however, supplements can play an important role in achieving maximum health.

The Wabeno Headstart reading program began September 18;

children who are enrolled in the Wabeno Headstart program are
automatically enrolled in the library program, allowing the children to select a book to take home after our story hour as long
as they return the books that have previously been taken home
by them.
If you have children at home who would be interested in a library story hour, contact the library for a possible fall program. The library continues to offer enrichment after school in
collaboration with Connie and Tim Friesen, with a variety of
activities; space is very limited, so families are advised to call to
see if there is a slot open to participate.
The book club meets once a month in the library, and welcomes
new members. Extra copies of William Lindsay's
Defending Jacob have arrived. For more information and the
schedule of meetings, contact the library.
The library will again co-sponsor a visit from award-winning
documentary film maker Patty Loew, a member of the Wisconsin Bad River Band of Ojibwe. Due to a change in her schedule
the event will be moved to October, to update from earlier announcements. Her presentations are always free and open to the
