Visit Townsend for the first time and the first person you will hear mentioned will probably be Richard Pintsch. That is not only because the Pintsch family has been in the hardware business here for a hundred years. It is because current owner Richard Pintsch is the face of Townsend. Though fighting a major illness right now, Rich is eagerly looking forward to June when his store will celebrate its 100th anniversary, an amazing milestone. Now known as Pintschs Hardware Inc, the store was opened in 1913 as a partnership run by Richs grandfather RO Pintsch and Adolph Berglund. At the time, it was one of very few businesses operating in Townsend. RO and Adolph catered to loggers and settlers, carrying a wide array of goods such as building supplies, groceries, hardware, sundries, dry goods, clothing and fuel, most all of it shipped in by train. Meat, dairy, produce and eggs were supplied by local farmers. RO also served as postmaster, which guaranteed a steady stream of customers into the store. After Berglund died in 1924, RO and his wife Clara ran the business as a sole proprietorship. Over the decades Pintschs Hardware remained an essential fixture in the community, always adapting to the changes that occurred by following one simple business model: treat customers like friends and they will repay your trust with loyal patronage. RO died in 1941, and his son Herbert became postmaster. Clara and daughter Marcella continued to run the store. After Pearl Harbor, Herb joined the Navy and left to serve his country in World War II. Upon his return, he married Ruth Nierman, a nurse from Wabeno, and the couple took over the business. Continued on pg 3

Local author Zach Mason has decided to take the publishing plunge. Zach currently lives in Antigo, but he grew up in Townsend and attended school in Wabeno. He began writing stories at a very early age and takes his craft very seriously. He is a longtime member of Up North Authors Circle (UNAC) where he shares excerpts from his writing at their monthly meetings. Now Zach has decided to capitalize on the popularity of e-books and blog posts. While he seeks an agent and traditional publisher for his work, he is releasing his latest novel Duty and Honor a few chapters at a time online via his blog http:// witchesatwar.wordpress.com. Publishing in installments was very popular in times past. It is most appropriate here because Duty and Honor is a highly imaginative sequel to one of Zachs favorite books Pride and Prejudice. This timeless classic by Jane Austen celebrates its two hundredth birthday this year. Pride and Prejudice has a happily ever after ending, says Zach. But is happily ever after the end, or just the beginning? Lady Catherine De Bourgh would never have sat by and let her nephew cast aside his familys plans by marrying Elizabeth Benet. Social contracts meant something in those days, and there would have been serious repercussions. I believe Jane Austens ending is precarious at best. Zach writes in many different genres, all of which can be summed up under historical fiction, but not in the classic sense. I write about witches that influence real history with powers that are provable by physics, chemistry, and other branches of science

and so called pseudoscience. I write about crimes that involve hypnotism, sharp shooters, and detective work that take place many years before the main categories about such things were established. One of Zachs most provocative works is Just Listen, the tale of a rural city Catholic high school teacher who gets entangled in a witchcraft coven of teenagers. Another very ambitious project is Witches at War. This five volume series is the story of Abigail Whipple, an amnesiac survivor of the World War Two Blitz in London. Abigail must use her newfound witchcraft talents to save her country from the German invasion. Book One, The Queen of Hearts, is finished; Book Two, Under the Cloak of Darkness, is nearing completion; and Book Three, The Talisman of Merlin, is in progress. Zach has another series of dark novels under construction, a trilogy entitled Nightmares. Book One, Waking Nightmare, relates the story of a sexual crime taking place in the house of an English Clergyman. Book Two is Screaming Nightmares, the story of heroine Eve Wintersmith whose hypnotized brain holds clues to thwarting a plot to undermine the Anglican Church. Book Three is still in its infancy. From an early age I showed a propensity for imagination and writing, Zach says with a sheepish grin. A typical Christmas gift for my elementary school teachers was a hand written story. In high school I wrote alternative endings to The Giver and Animal Farm. After graduation, I continued to write highly imaginative combinations of my favorite stories, but then I decided to get serious about learning subjects that mattered to my stories. Looking at Zach's wide array of writing, it appears that the part about being serious is an understatement.

By 1954, Herb knew the original building had outlived its usefulness, and its location on a side street was a disadvantage in a town changing from an agricultural economy to a tourist destination. He took a huge risk and built a new store on Highway 32, the main thoroughfare running through town. About a year later, Herb had the original structure razed, and the Pintsches built a lovely home on the site for themselves and their three children. Herbs gamble paid off handsomely. In 1960 there

Vicki (Koehler) bought out his mother. In 1980 a lumberyard was added. As his father and grandfather had done, Rich ran the business as a small independent hardware store but changed the stores affiliation with Hardware Hank to True Value, a retailers cooperative with over 5,000 independent locations worldwide. Rich and Vicki refined and extended the stores business model, proving to be very savvy merchants. In the mid-1990s they both saw the need for more space to grow. Following in his fathers and grandfathers footsteps, Rich knew what to do. By 1997 the current store was built and opened with great fanfare. It is a beautiful spacious retail complex that offers hardware, Rich and Vicki refined and extended the stores business model, proving to be very savvy merchants. In the mid-1990s they both saw the need for more space to grow. Following in his fathers and grandfathers footsteps, Rich knew what to do. By 1997 the current store was built and opened with great fanfare. It is a beautiful spacious retail complex that offers hardware, housewares, landscaping and lawn care products, home dcor items, custom paint-mixing, a gun shop, large equipment rentals, small engine repairs, and a wide array of home maintenance and building materials. Its been quite a run for the Pintsch family: one hundred years. And the legacy could be carried on far into the future because Rich and Vicki have a son, Herb, who was named after his grandfather. It is apparent that the word congratulations does not do justice here. This is an incredible achievement that the entire Pintsch family, its former and current employees, and all its loyal customers should be proud to celebrate this coming summer. Townsend loves a party, and this one should certainly go down in history.

was enough income to finance an addition to house a modern grocery store, complete with a frozen foods department and meat market. But by 1972, Herb and Ruth realized that hardware was really the business they liked best, and the grocery was sold to Bill and Carmen Ehlers. The Ehlers sold to Mike and Marge Janesch in 1982, and they named their business Mikes Supermarket. The grocery has been remodeled and enlarged over the years and is currently being operated by Mikes son Steve and his wife Shelly. Coincidentally, the Janesch legacy might very well someday mirror that of the Pintsch family as Steve and Shelly have two sons, Clayton and Carter. When Herb Pintsch died in 1974, his son Richard took a leave of absence from his job in Green Bay to help Ruth run the store. In 1977 Rich and his new wife

Part of your good hygiene regime is good dental care. Poor dental care leads to tooth decay, gum disease, and gives you bad breath. Gum disease and tooth decay leads to ill health via infection. Tooth decay happens when an infection-like disease causes the tooth to deteriorate and rot. Plaque sticks to your teeth and is the biggest source of gum disease and tooth decay. Eating healthy, flossing & brushing your teeth after meals and before bed helps prevent tooth decay. Avoiding sugary foods and drinks helps keep tooth decay at bay. Flossing reaches deeper into the crevices to remove tartar and keeps your teeth healthy and strong (and cheaper dental bills in the long run). If you don't floss, you let plaque build cavities to form in between your teeth. Flossing also makes your teeth have nice, finished edges. See your dentist at least once a year (twice is better) for a check-up. Get a good teeth cleaning to remove plaque, stains & food debris. Dental-PictureShow.com explains the dental flossing technique pretty good.

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 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 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.

Aidan Lowery, a sixth grade student at Wabeno Area School District, topped his competitors in the district-wide spelling bee on Feb. 4, 2013. Winners from each class in grades three through eight faced off trying to spell a variety of words from the 2013 National Spelling Bee list. While Aidan battled some stiff competition, he edged them out for a victory and will travel to Wausaukee School District on Monday, Feb. 11, to compete against other district winners. From there, the winner of that contest will travel to Madison to compete at the state level. Good luck, Aidan, and congratulations to all of the competitors. Pictured from left to right: Aidan Lowery, 6 th grade winner and district winner; Jasmine Hanson, 8th grade winner; Tanner Dorner, 7th grade winner; Kelly Boor, 5th grade winner; Braylee Chrisman, 3rd grade winner; and Travis Clark, 4th grade winner.
