    Last week was Bus Driver Appreciation Week. We appreciate our bus drivers each and every day, but they received spe-cial attention this past week. We had our drivers join us at our Assembly so we could give them a few tokens of our appre-

    ciation.

    The first picture is of our Transportation Director, Paul Ehlinger. We appreciate Mr. Ehlinger for all the trips he makes in the middle of the day for numerous reasons, for all the care he gives to our buses, and the ones that ride the 'little' bus with him.

    The other bus drivers have different areas of our district to cover. They are in the second picture. Back row from left to right: Troy Hoffmann, Big John Pakulski, and Lorna Weyenberg. Front row from left to right, Vicky Pirus, Lori Exferd and Linda McEwen.

    As is the custom at our school when we are recognizing someone, we give them a trip around the gym in a 'wheelie' chair (AKA an office chair). So you see Mr. Pakul-ski and some of his bus riders. We also had a bus driver that just retired in January. Mr. Curt Kroll,

    we hope you are lov-ing sunny Florida. We miss you.

    From the Editor-news and notes Is it Springtime YET?? No, but everyone we have been talking to are all counting down the days. Then there are the few that have said, This is WI, it is COLD here during the winter. Now if you are a snowbird youve missed or not, the freezing temperatures that those of us who are jealous of you for being able to escape to warmer days. Well see you all back here soon.

    Be sure you take a moment the next time you see or talk to any one of the public workers, owners/cashiers who have made the trip in the snow/cold to their stores, gas station cashers, waiters/waitresses you have served you well during this extreme weather season. Without them, you might not have had heat, a clear road, kids off to school on their yellow buses, teachers and those who have kept you safe and those who have kept you warm with homemade meals.

    For now I am still in hibernation until the Robins return and the flowers start to bud open. No, not really but the idea sure sounds good today.

    Now for the weather...ok Mother Nature Its time to talk to the Ice Man and tell him to turn UP the heat. Tonight as I write it is MI-NUS 30 below zero wind chill outside. Spring is only 31 more days away!

    The Winter Olympics' are now a thing of the past. Russia took home the majority of the Gold with the U.S.A. with the second most. Congrats to all of our teams! You may now return to your regularly scheduled programs!

    Students at Wabeno Jr. High recently participated in two levels of Forensics competition. Forensics is a public speaking activity in which students choose from a variety of categories to demonstrate their skills. Public speaking has long been considered a dreaded task and one that many people avoid. Forensics allows kids the opportunity to overcome fear, hone their skills, and prepare for fu-ture speaking activities. Events range from play acting and poetry to radio announcing and demonstration. It is a challenging activi-ty that builds teamwork, and a lot of credit goes out to those who try it. Students at Wabeno participated in the Level 1 contest held in Crandon on Feb. 1. A solid perfor-mance by the students earned them the op-portunity to perform at the Level 2 contest held in Tomahawk on Feb. 10. All of the students performed well and earned blue ribbons for their efforts. Congratulations to

    the team on a job well done.

    March is here! That means one step closer to Spring!!

    What a Wisconsin Winter it has been!!

    I wont complain because this IS Wisconsin, and it IS Winter, and there is nothing I can do to change it. Complaining about it would just make it feel colder and longer than it is.

    With Our School:

    Our Rebel Girls and Boys Basketball and Rebel Wrestling teams had pretty good seasons this year. Our Boys Varsity was coached by Bill Taylor, Junior Varsity was coached by Mike Chrisman and Pete Liptack. Girls Varsity was coached by Andrew Harrison and Junior Varsi-ty was coached by Scott Vanlanen. Rebels Wrestling was coached by John Twardowski. Coaching is often a thankless job so I would like to say THANK YOU to all of the coaches for all their hard work, countless hours and loads of patience.

    I cant say it enough, we need to keep our kids involved in extra curricular school activities like sports or forensics or drama- anything. Keeping them active helps keep them out of trouble and actually helps keep their grades up. Phones, video games and jobs can wait- this is the only time they get to participate in school activities.

    Speaking of grades- Congratulations to all our Wabeno students making the honor roll this past quarter.

    With Our Chamber of Commerce:

    We have chosen a new Board of Directors and will be voting on officers at our March meeting. If you have questions you can call Dawn at the bank 715-473-2311.

    Support our local businesses.

    PRINCESS CLOSET NOW OPEN AT FLOWERS GALORE!!

    Flowers Galore is once again offering a place for girls to bring in their prom dresses to sell. There is no charge to the girls for selling their dresses. This is Flowers Galores way of Paying It Forward. We give them a place to try and make a few dollars on a gently used gown as well as helping girls who dont want to spend hundreds of dollars at a retail store.

    Words of Wisdom :

    Be Positive, Be Patient, Be Persistent.

    You've done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.

    National Guard and Reserve

    Mobilized as of Feb 21, 2014

    The Army National Guard, Marine Corps Reserve, Air Force Reserve and Coast Guard Reserve announced this week a decrease in activated National Guard members and reservists, while the Army Reserve, Navy Reserve and Air National Guard announced an increase of acti-vated reservists. The net collective result is 143 fewer activated Nation-al Guard members and reservists in comparison to last week.

    At any given time, services may activate some units and individuals while deactivating others, making it possible for these figures to either increase or decrease. The total number currently on active duty from the Army National Guard and Army Reserve is 28,315; Navy Reserve, 3,988; Marine Corps Reserve, 1,720; Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, 7,345; and the Coast Guard Reserve, 399. This brings the total National Guard and reserve personnel who have been activated to 41,767, including both units and individual augmentees.

    Anyone interested in becoming a Shotgun & Rifle Merit Badge counselor? Please mark your calendar for April 3-6, 2014, at Gardner Dam Scout Camp. The cost is $250.00 for the weekend. This course is open to all Scouters 21 and older who have an interest in firearms, shooting, and helping the Scouts with the merit badge program. We will begin on Thursday evening starting at 7:00 P.M. The goal of this program is to develop instructors to teach the Rifle and Shotgun Merit badge. The training consists of Basic Instructor Training (approx 6 hrs) Basic Rifle (approx 14 hrs). Basic Shotgun (approx 14 hrs) All the training will be completed during that weekend including range work. At the beginning of the NRA Instructor Training Course, you will receive from your NRA Appointed Training Coun-selor, the appropriate NRA Course Outlines and Lesson Plans for the disciplines for Rifle & Shotgun, the appropriate NRA Basic Student Handbook and other manuals used in NRA Basic courses. The NRA Training Counselor who conducts your course will make a recommendation to NRA Training Department con-cerning your certification base on an evaluation of your knowledge, skill and attitude. You will be asked to demon-strate your organizational and teaching skills through partici-pation in several practical exercises during the course of your training. A minimum score of 90 percent is required for certified instructor applicants. Attendance at the course and a passing grade on the exami-nation does not guarantee that you will receive the recom-mendation of the NRA Training Counselor. It is the Training counselors DUTY in the total evaluation process to see that you not only possess the knowledge and Skill, but that you also have the proper ATTITUDE to be an NRA Certified Instructor.

    At the beginning of a new year, the media spends much time re-viewing major events of the previous one. Most of these stories are on a national/international level, such as the death of signifi-cant individuals like Nelson Mandela. But 2013 saw the loss of two leaders at the local level, men who are not going to garner much media attention but are no less important to us.

    I belong to a writers group, Up North Authors Circle (UNAC), facilitated by Kathleen Marsh of Townsend. We meet at the pub-lic library in Lakewood, which is my hometown. Both Kathleen and I have written local history books about our communities. This past year saw the passing of one relatively young, dynamic community leader from each of these small towns: Richard Pintsch of Townsend and Terry Rank of Lakewood. Neither was an elected political leader. Each served his community in the re-tail business. But Rich and Terry were giants in the vital area of community service, supporting our fire departments, rescue squads, community events, veterans groups, and yes, even UNAC.

    Richard Pintsch was an important resource for Kathleen, who was not originally from Townsend, as she researched Townsends history to write her three books. He also provided much support in her efforts to save the Holt & Balcolm Logging Camp Museum in Lakewood. Terry Rank eagerly shared with me whatever infor-mation he had about Lakewood. To show his pride in a town he loved, he named different areas of his SuperValu grocery store after people who had played a part in Lakewoods history. Terry chose to sell the books written by local authors without taking any percentage of the sales price to cover his costs. That was a significant factor in these authors being able to afford the high cost of publishing a book.

    Family and friends of Rich and Terry, UNAC members, and all of northern Oconto County continue to mourn the loss of these two irreplaceable human beings. Fortunately, both left behind strong families that are stepping forward to fill the void and maintain their legacies. This is critical as we live in a time when nearly all of our top local graduates must leave us in order to pursue their dreams. But as Rich and Terry would say, We will endure; we always do.

    It is time to start make preparations for the Town Hall Players annual Variety show. This year's show will take place on the 26th of April. There are so many talented people in this area, that it would be a shame not to showcase them. This is a fundraiser for the local food pantry. All admission ticket sales are donated to St. John's church in Townsend. Last year, we were abe to help many people with a $1500.00 dona-tion. We could not do this without the many talented performers and volunteers that make this a success each year. We will have two shows 1:30 and 7:00pm. Plan on coming early because the shows are always sell outs. We had an organ-izational meeting in early February and have chosen this year's theme to be Musical Memories. Songs and skits will be taken from past and present famous Musicals, from which there were many. If you can sing, dance, play an instrument or just want to help, join us for fun and a truly satisfying experience. Our First meeting will be held at the Townsend Town Hall. On March 1st at 1:00. If you can not attend a Sat. afternoon, we will also have several Friday evenings. For information call: Ruth 715 276 9563 for Sue 715 276 7317

    "Red Arrow Snowmobile ATV Club, headquartered in Townsend, is in the process of writing its history," says new-ly-elected Red Arrow President Joseph Kamp. "In that re-gard, I have directed our Secretary Mary Stehula 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."

    Anyone having old club minutes, photos, pertinent docu-ments, or personal recollections is asked to contact Mary Stehula at misteh@ezwebtech (715-276-7769) or Kathleen Marsh at [email protected] (715-276-6515).

    Hello everyone. My name is Michael Rzepka. I used to be the Humane Officer for six towns in Northern Oconto County. I was asked by the editor if I wanted to write an article for this paper. Well, here goes. Have you all had enough of this winter yet? I certainly have. But do you know who else is sick of this weather too. Your four legged furry friends. Your fidos are running out of places to do their duty. They are also tired of getting cold feet. They dont like the cold frigid wind either. Remember, if you are cold and your feet and hands get cold, their feet can get frostbite also. When the weatherman says windchills are a factor for us humans, it goes for them too. So, watch

    that you dont have to make a trip to the Veterinarian for your four legged furry friends. My little Dachshund Porchia hates the winter cold weather. When it is time to go out, she runs, finds her spot and is quick to come

    back inside.

    Another thing about this winter. The banks are very high. Dont let your fido run at large. Not only is it against State Statute, but vehicles might not see them and they could get hit. So, take care of yourself this winter. And take care that your fido or fluffy doesnt get hurt from this frigid weather either. Porchia says hi to everyone out

    there too.

    Have a nice remaining day.

    A Word or Two From Dr. Adam

    How to Select Athletic Shoes Because footwear plays such an important role in the function of bones and jointsespecially for runners and other ath-

    leteschoosing 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 differ-

    ent 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 ab-

    sorb 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 mid-

    soles. These shoes should be fairly resistant to twisting or bending.

    Stay away from highly cushioned, highly curved shoes, which lack sta-

    bility 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 under-pronated. 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.

    Julie L. Maltais, 38, Bellevue, passed away at her home Saturday, January 25, 2014. She was born No-vember 10, 1975, in Green Bay to Debra Giesler and the late Steven Rugg. On July 30, 2005, she married Glenn. Julie attended Lakeland College and recently completed her nursing studies at NWTC. Julie loved her cats.

    Week of February 5, 2014-Artist of the Week on the left and on the right, the winner of the MegaBooster speaker and radio system. Her name was drawn from the Computers for Education drawing of all the students who brought back completed booklets last week. Congratulation to both of you.

    THEY DID IT! The Second Grade has been working really, really hard on their expectations and behaviors. They even made new signs for reminders in their class-room and around the school. Their teachers, Mrs. Swearingen and Mrs. Christianson are very proud of them. Way To Go Second Grade!

    Picture Day has been postponed by Lakeshore

    Photography. They are Michigan-based pho-

    tographers and the weather predictions were

    the influencing factor. It has been rescheduled

    for March 14. That is the day after Parent-

    Teacher Conferences.

    We had some fun math activities to celebrate our 100th

    Day of School. Kindergarten cut out 100 hearts, took 100

    steps, made a 100th Day trailmix by bringing in 100 piec-

    es of something, and journaled about what we'd do with

    $100.00. First Grade counted and graphed, by 10s, 100

    pieces of different snack foods to mix together for

    trailmix. Student Council sold a snack during lunch re-

    cess for 50 cents or 2/$1.00 to raise money for their

    dance.
