From the Editor-news and notes

Lakewood Ski/Sports has movedagain, next door into the historic old Lakewood Hotel. With that said, the location they were in, is now Ally.Zoe owned by Jody Davis-Schomburg, who is a Door County native. She has
brought in some of her long-time favorite treasures using recycled items to emphasize their designs. Lakewood
Ski and Sport that was at the northern end of Hwy 32 became FB Backyard Rustics, LLC where you will also find
Ben Christianson's hand made wooden designs. My current favorite that he has done is the Flinstones couch.
Congratulations to Margaret Krueger of Lakewood. May 8, 2015 Margaret is the May 8 winner of a Stearns &
Foster queen-sized mattress set in the Extreme Furniture Makeover Contest from Furnitureland in Pulaski and

In 1940 the WPA (Work Project Administration) employed local men to build the
Lakewood Trout Rearing Station on the shores of John Lake just outside of Lakewood,
WI. Jesse Landwehr, WI Dept of Natural Resources Operations Supervisor, reports
that the station has turned out nearly 200,000 rainbow, brown and brook trout annually. These fish have been used to stock the waters of 16 counties across northern and
central WI.
The WDNR found itself facing financial constraints and were forced to close the facility in the Spring of 2011. Since then, only a portion of the areas stream quotas have
been fulfilled by other trout rearing facilities.
Now, new life is being breathed back into the station. A local group of concerned citizens have bonded to form the Northern Oconto County Trout Alliance (NOCTA) Their
sole mission is the reopening and the ongoing management of the Lakewood Trout
Rearing Station. The WDNR has agreed to work with NOCTA and train them in the
skills necessary to raise trout through the summer months. The goal this ea is to raise 16,000 brookies, all of which will be planted in
northern Oconto County waters this fall. These efforts do not come without costs. It is estimated that $2,500 will be needed to purchase the feed. Fundraisers and donations will be used to meet the expenses.
NOCTA is in need of help. We need volunteers to feed and oversee the fish throughout the summer months. The more individuals
we have to share in the work load the lighter it will be. If you are willing to give us 1-2 hours per week please let us know. The station is located at 14855 Hatchery Lane. (Cty F to Lake John Rd, then north to the Hatchery road entrance, Watch for the sign) Come
and help us get the facility ready for the soon to arrive fingerlings! I fyou have questions or desire for further information please
semail noctroutalliance@gmail.com or call Scott VanLaanen at 715-85-2904. If you would like to donate to the Alliance pleases
make it to the NOCTA and send it to the Lakewood Area Chamber of Commerce at P O Box 87, Lakewood, WI 54138.

Former Townsend cabin owners Lucille and Ray Oughton Sr.

passed away many years ago, and hardly anyone living in Townsend remembers them. However, their legacy lives on in a
uniquely rich fashion. In 1960, the couple donated three acres of
land on Pickerel Lake to be used as a community park. It is a
prime piece of real estate, beautifully wooded with a lovely
view of the lake, a sandy beach,
a covered pavilion and toilet
facilities built and donated by
the McCaslin Lions Club, charcoal grills, picnic tables, and a
public boat landing. Over the
years, the park, which is off the
beaten path, has been used for
family gatherings and community events, but due to tight
budgets, maintenance and improvement of the site has not
been a priority.

is my appreciation of your efforts to maintain and use the park
and honor the memory of my parents. Use it well.
Town workers Claude Bowman, Rick Opiela and Jim Leisenfelder began by removing many dead and dying trees, bulldozing the
stumps and leveling off the soil.
They are in the process of seeding the disturbed areas. Town
Supervisor Carla VanCamp says
once that is finished, the Town
will install new benches and
swings.
As always, it takes community
involvement to move something
like this forward. Duane Harris,
owner of Harris Tree Service in
Wabeno, generously donated his
expert services, having his crew
chip the brush and dispose of the
wood. The job is turning out to
be a lot more work than we anticipated, Duane laughed, but I
volunteered, and when I promise
something, we get it done.

The Pine Needle Quilters met May 18th with 34 members present
and 1 guest. At the June 1 sewing session, there will be an all-day
sewing session starting at 9 a.m., to sew quilts for homeless
vets. There will be a pot luck.
A micro wave and coffee pot was purchased for the community
building.
A Colonel from Kentucky has heard about our guild and the quilts
we have given over the years to our deployed men and women.
Karen Kussow has been asked if this years quilts could be given to
his unit which will deploy in July. There are around 100 men and
women in his unit and realizes there wouldn't be enough for everyone to receive a quilt. But there would be some sort of random
drawing for the quilts we could provide. Karen plans to make a

trip to Kentucky to deliver them in person. So far we have about

41 quilts.
There is a workshop planned July 20, 9:30am-4:30p.m. Sharon
Rotz's workshop will be "String Piecing 101 and Beyond". Cost
will be $20.
A Chinese Auction was held. It was a lot of fun to see what we got
when we were the lucky ones to get our name drawn.
A sewing session is held on the first Mon. of the month 9a.m., The
regular meeting is held the third Monday starting at 7p.m. We
meet at the Breed Community building.

Graduation month is here. I am sad, but so proud to see many of these young adults graduate and embark on
the next journey in their lives. I have great memories working with these kids; from sports, to prom to graduation, they have been a joy to know. I wish them all great things in the future. To all the 2015 graduates Be
the change you want to see in the world.
Forest Larger Parish Presbyterian Church had 5 kids confirmed over Memorial Day Weekend. Congratulations to Kassidy Ashbeck, Courtney Brooks, Maggie Chickey, Tanner Kortbein and Cody Kortbein.
Some local news: Wabeno has recently abolished the Police Department. The town board also abolished the
Humane Officer position and retired the K9 dog. Prior to this decision, the Community K9 Board had become an independent citizens group no longer governed by the town of Wabeno, so any changes they
make or fundraising they do is no longer underneath the Town Of Wabeno. As far as no longer having a police department, dont worry, Wabeno will be well patrolled by Forest County Sheriffs Department. Ex
Wabeno Marshall, Mick Ashbeck submitted letters to the papers to save the police department and stated
some off the wall statistics that can be argued by simply checking open records.
Welcome back Wisconsin Dual Sport Riders!!
June 6 & 7 the guys will be invading our town

their 10 year Anniversary Party with live music from 6-10 pm.
Make it a beautiful month everyone!! And be
kind to one another.

Your life is your own. Dont waste it

trying to be what others expect you to
be. Dont sacrifice your own happiness
to make everyone else happy. Dont
give up your dreams to build other peoples dreams. Be who you want to be.

Eugene Otto, Townsend, was honored with a 50 year membership award at the annual Post #44 American Legion Dinner
held May 11, 2016, at
the Legion Clubhouse in
Wabeno. A veteran of
World War II, Eugene
was drafted in 1945 and
sent to Germany just as
the Third Reich surrendered. "We were training for the invasion of
Japan when Truman
dropped the bombs on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki," he said. "So when
Japan surrendered, I was
assigned to help with the reconstruction of Germany. It was
good to do that duty instead." Eugene, who turned 88 in March,
has been a longtime Townsend resident. He still lives in the
house he and his wife Bernice, who died in 2000, built on Valley View Road. Known as Buzzy to locals, Eugene owned and
operated Gene's Auto Repair for decades, using the skills he
had acquired during his service to his country.

Summer will soon be here. The warmth of the sun is already here. One
problem with the warmer temperatures and the sun is its affect on the inside
of our vehicles. The glass acts as a solar oven. Temperature differences from
the air and the inside of the vehicle are tremendous. Here are some facts. If the
air temp is 70 degrees, within ten minutes the inside of the vehicle is 90 degrees. Outside air is 85 degrees, within ten minutes inside of the vehicle is 102 degrees!!
Outside air is 90 degrees, within ten minutes the inside of the vehicle is 109 degrees!!!!.
Who could withstand those inside temps? Yet, every year I see our four legged friends in
cars in the middle of summer or late spring with the windows
cracked open. They are panting in that hot box. Oh, by the way,
having the windows cracked open does not lessen the heat
buildup. Think about this for a minute. Put on a fur coat or a
heavy winter coat and sit in that car for ten minutes at 102 to 109
degrees. Please DONT do it, but think of how you would feel.
Our four legged friends would not last long in those conditions
either. So, leave them home. They will thank you with kisses and
licks.

A Word or Two From Dr. Adam

Travel Aches and Strains Can Be a Pain In Your Back
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 can leave you stressed, tired, stiff
and sore.
In the 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 behind your
back may reduce the risk of low-back strain, 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 o'clock and
7 o'clock, periodically switching to 10 o'clock and 5
o'clock.

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.

Take rest breaks. Never underestimate the potential consequences of fatigue to yourself, your passengers and
other drivers.

Camp Curator Kathleen Marsh also reports that school tours are well underway. Education of school children is our primary mission, and Wausaukee and Suring have already visited the oldest logging camp in the USA sitting where it was built (1880-81).
Wabeno and Pulaski will tour the camp after Memorial Day. Tours are scheduled and run by Camp Manager Bob Brown, with
assistance from long-time volunteers Bernie VanDreel, Jon Marsh and Don Siefert.
Bob explains: As part of their study of Wisconsin history, fourth graders visit
the camp each year to learn firsthand about their logging heritage. The tours are
interactive and hands on. Students get to stamp and saw a log, sit at the long
tables in the cookshack as they learn about camp life, see a diorama picturing
the camp as it was in 1887, walk about the dingle where they can get up close
and personal with camp implements, and relax on benches in front of strawmattress beds as they learn about the many hand tools used in loggings early
days. Thanks to a recently acquired artifact, they can even sit on an actual log
cut and stamped by a Holt and Balcom crew over 125 years ago!
Holt & Balcom is located off Highway F, one and a half miles east of Lakewood on Country Club Lane behind the McCauslin Golf Course Clubhouse.
Special tours of the Museum for family and community groups can be arranged
by calling Bob at 715-276-3505.
