Its been a busy month and summer vacation is coming to an end.

The store is already getting crazy busy for fall. Fall mums are in but I am not ready to let go of summer.
The kids are already playing fall sports and school will have already started by the time the paper circulates. It seems every year
summer gets shorter and shorter.
Shawn Cassidy and his family have purchased Hook in the Foot restaurant and have opened it as a new family restaurant called
Cassidys Caf. They are planning a wonderful menu with homemade items. Their signature item will be RumChata French Toast.
Yummmm!! Good luck to the Cassidy family. Remember, support your local businesses.
It was a sad month for Wabeno School District. We lost another one of our cherished teachers to a neighboring school district. Mr.
Mike Chrisman has been teaching in Wabeno for several years, and like his wife Stacy, he had no plans of leaving the district he
loves so much. Unfortunately, we dont see all that goes on behind the scenes which can affect workers so much that they are willing to take lower paying jobs and leave. After talking with several teachers from neighboring districts, a vast majority agree it is
rather alarming how many teachers, and students Wabeno has been losing every year. I believe Mike Chrisman is the 5th Elementary teacher choosing not to return this year. All departing teachers were in great standing with our school. So why are so many of
our Elementary teachers leaving us?
A personal note to Mike Chrisman: Just saying Thank You isnt enough for everything you have done for our district. The commitment and integrity you brought to this school are unmatched and unwavering. The honesty youve shown in your teaching and
in your coaching is something to be reveled and mirrored. One thing I will always remember, is your ability to get through to children when other adults gave up on them. Thank you for giving these kids HUGE dreams and for always being a positive influence
on students, fellow teachers and parents. Even though you are leaving us, I am grateful you are teaching somewhere. Our children
need teachers like you. Our schools were blessed to not only have you, but your wife as well, for many many years. You will both
go down in Wabeno history as some of the best married teachers we have ever had in Wabeno School. The Volks and the
Huismans were tough acts to follow but you and Stacy did it with professionalism and a pure love for teaching children, just like
they did. I still have hopes you will both retire from Wabeno
someday. Teachers like you are impossible to replace.
Wed like to extend our sincerest condolences to Paul Renkas
and the Renkas family. Marilyn Renkas passed away unexpectedly on August 22nd. Rest in paradise Marilyn.
Make it a beautiful month everyone and be kind to one another.
Happy 19th Anniversary to my hubby on September 7th. My husband has an awesome wife! What a lucky guy!!

"Red Arrow Snowmobile ATV Club, headquartered in

Townsend, is in the process of writing its history," says newly
-elected Red Arrow President Gary Wagner. "In that regard, I
have directed our Recording Secretary Kari Hinkens and
Membership Secretary Sandy Wagner, to assemble an ad hoc
committee." Mary has recruited Rhonda Kroll, Kathleen
Marsh, Sandy Wagner, and Therese Erler. The group meets to
continue already established goals, procedures, and assign
duties.
"Red Arrow turns 47 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 47 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."

The Mountain Fire Lookout Tower has been a tourist attraction in Oconto County
since it was moved to its current location by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in
1935. The tower was originally built in 1932 by the Wisconsin Conservation Commission (WCC). Three years later it was disassembled, moved, and reassembled by
the CCC. Today, only two of nineteen original lookout towers still stand in the Nicolet.
It is important to note that the Mountain Tower is on the National Register of Historic
Places. Since the tower is of significant historical value, we are attempting to raise
$10,000 to fund repairs to the tower. It has been closed to the public for well over a
year and the repairs would result in the tower again being accessible to the public.
Cost estimates have been prepared by the U.S. Forest Service. The Oconto County
Economic Development Corporation (OCEDC) is coordinating the fundraising campaign. OCEDC is a 501 (c) (3) not for profit organization, so your contribution may
be tax deductible. Check with your attorney or accountant. Detailed information on
the repairs to be undertaken are available upon request.
Get on board and help us restore this landmark.

Anyone having old club minutes, photos, pertinent documents, or personal recollections is asked to contact Mary Stehula at misteh@ezwebtech (715-276-7769) or Kathleen
Marsh at kathiemarsh@yahoo.com (715-276-6515).
The Pine Needle Quilters met on Aug. 17, with 35 members present. On Sept 17th and 18th, there will be sewing machine cleaning. Contact Deanna Tachick if you are interested. A regular machine

National Guard and

Reserve
Mobilized as of May 5, 2015
The Department of Defense announced an increase in activated
National Guard and reserve component members this week for the
Army National Guard, Army Reserve and Air National Guard while
the Navy Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, and Air Force Reserve
announced a decrease of activated members. Coast Guard Reserve
numbers did not change from last week. The net collective result is
an increase of 292 activated National Guard and reserve component
members 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 14,438;
Navy Reserve, 2,741; Marine Corps Reserve, 954; Air National
Guard and Air Force Reserve, 5,732; and the Coast Guard Reserve,
209. This brings the total National Guard and reserve component
personnel who have been activated to 24,074, including both units

Ok, Ive seen some ferns turning brown. A little color is showing on some trees.
But, there is still plenty of summer left. Which means you still shouldnt leave your
doggie or fluffy in the car for any length of time during these summer and early fall
days. The sun beating down on the vehicle will increase the temperature in it rapidly. Cracking the windows does very little to rid the ever rising temperatures.
Now I have seen something else. Fido in the car with the engine running and the air
conditioning on. With what might seem
as a solution is only failure waiting to
happen. How do you know the engine
will stay running? How do you know the
air conditioning will not stop working? Case in point. A canine officer has
perished due to a failed air conditioning system in the patrol car. I have recently seen an update on this terrible incident. Not only did the air conditioning
fail, a high heat alarm failed too. Do you have a high heat alarm installed in
your vehicle? Not a good idea to leave fido or fluffy in a running car even
with the air conditioning on. Just saying. My little dachshund almost always
stays home during these hot, sunny days. If she does go with us on occasion,
we are with her at all times and dont leave her alone in the car. We also dont
leave her outside either for a length of time.
These four legged children need our care all the time. They dont sweat like
we do to try to keep cool. Dont leave them in cars.

A Word or Two From Dr. Adam

The August Nicolet AARP Summer picnic was held at the
Bill Lazanski Community Center in Mountain. Forty-four
members enjoyed the brats and burgers which were
cooked by chef Dick Lau. There were plenty of side dishes and desserts so that nobody left hungry. The meal was
followed by Bingo and everyone was a winner.
The speaker for the August 25th meeting was Gary Donaldson from the Lakewood Pharmacy who spoke about
tick born diseases.
All persons 50 and over are invited to join the local
AARP Chapter. AARP meetings are social, entertaining,
and informative. Meetings are held at the Lakewood
Presbyterian Church on the fourth Tuesday of each month
starting at 7:00 pm. Contact Joyce West, Membership
Chairman, at 715-276-9409.

In todays age of health and fitness, more and more kids are involved in sporting activities. Although being part of a football, soccer or Little League team is an important rite of passage for
many children, parents and their children could be overlooking the
importance of proper nutrition and body-conditioning needed for
preventing injuries on and
off the playing field.
Encourage your child to:
Eat healthy meals.
Make sure your young athlete is eating a wellbalanced diet and does not
skip meals. Avoid high-fat
foods, such as candy bars
and fast food. At home,
provide fruit rather than
cookies, and vegetables rather than potato chips.

Drink water. Hydration is a key element to

optimal fitness. Teenage athletes should drink at
least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day.
Younger athletes should drink five to eight 8ounce glasses of water.

Take vitamins daily. A multi-vitamin and

Vitamin C are good choices for the young athlete. Vitamin B and amino acids may help reduce
the pain from contact sports. Thiamine can help
promote healing. Avoid trendy supplements.
Kids under the age of 18 should avoid the use of
performance-enhancing supplements, such as
creatine.
