From the Editor-news and notes

It’s been a few busy weeks here in the northwoods. July 4th parades were well attended, however, the Townsend Fireworks show due to weather was rescheduled to July 9th. Have you notice how the traffic on the weekends has grown since the snow melted. Welcome our visitors to the area but do be care-ful as many fly through town. Did you think we could have used a traffic cop at Super Valu and Family Dollar during the July 4th holiday. Oh my gosh, the lines at the gas stations reminded me of the 1970 gas crunch with long lines to the gas pumps. Get Well Soon to our neighbors and friends. Tony of Northern D’Lites is still hospitalized. It will be some time before he will be able to come home. Please keep him in your prayers. Tony suffered extensive injuries from a fall while working at construction job.

UPCOMING EVENTS; Lakewood Mardi Gras! Be sure to get your chairs set up early so you can have a front row seat during the parade. Buy your ride tickets early. $20 for 10 rides per person. Available at Super Valu.

The weather If you haven’t seen the local reports in the last few weeks then you would’ve missed all the storm reports that the state and local area reporters kept everyone up to date on the storms progression. TV channels broke in on day shows with updates of where and what damages were in Stevenson and the Pelican Lake area in June and again in mid July throughout the northeast region. Trees and power lines were down leaving some areas without power for several hours in June and in mid-July. Flooding in the Green Bay area was high as 2 to 3 feet in some areas. Here locally, how-ever, the storms wind blew strong and dropped close to 2 inches in some places and maybe an inch in others. According

to the local news channels the Green Bay area had not seen so many inches fall in a single days rain since 1890.

One of the most wonderful things about doing genealogy is making friends with relatives you never knew you had. Just ask John Brantmeier and his cousin Kathleen (Kate) Alexander. Through genealogy, the two found they share the same great-grandmother, Margaret Seubert Brantmeier. The connection has led to a wonderful friendship.

When John’s mother Rose Mary passed away in 2005, she left a box filled with an unfin-ished task: writing her family history. The box was passed among her eight children, end-ing up in John’s Townsend home. As he began rummaging through notes, prayer cards, clippings, and assorted documents, he developed a deep interest in his ancestors. As part of his research, he sent a letter to the Diocesan offices in Green Bay seeking Baptismal re-cords. He included a picture his mother had labeled: Monsignor Andrew Seubert.

A few days after he mailed his letter, Kate Alexander was on a summer visit home to Little Chute, Wisconsin. She has been living and teaching in Germany for over thirty years and has become very interested in genealogy. She decided to use her last day home to do re-search at the Diocesan offices. When she mentioned she was researching the Brantmeiers, the attendant said, “Funny, I just got a letter from a Brantmeier.” As the woman produced the letter and the photo, Kate was overcome with emotion. She knew that face. She had an identical picture in her family collection.

Kate called John and the two began corresponding. In 2007 John and wife Linda went to the Brantmeier ancestral home in Hausen, Germany, for Hausen’s 1000th (yes one thousand!) year anniversary. A visit with Kate and her husband Sam was a highlight of their trip. Kate and Sam enjoyed a memorable visit to Townsend last year. She liked it so much she brought her sister Colleen here this summer. The Brantmeiers are going to Germany for Octoberfest this year and eagerly anticipate a visit with Kate and Sam.

Some might say John and Kate’s paths crossed due to blind luck. They disagree. They call it divine providence.

While home on active leave to attend his younger brothers high school graduation Army Andrew J. Janka (AJ) was asked to be the

Best Man at his brother Ryan’s wedding held at the Crandon Courthouse on June 15, 2010. Dressed in his dress uniform, A.J. stood

by his brother and new wife Josie Raelynn Stefanski as they vowed to each other to be man and wife. Both Josie and Ryan are gradu-

ates of Wabeno High School and are employeed locally. Those in attendance were Katie Maloney as maid of honor and Andrew J.

Janka, as best man.

A.J. has been stationed in Afgani-

stan. He surprised Ryan for his

graduation with a new car, his old

one that he had sitting waiting for

Ryan to give him. What he didn’t

know when he arrived home was

that his brother and soon to be sis-

ter-in-law, were going to have a

surprise request for him to be their

best man. A.J. returned to active

duty on June 20th to his homebase

in Kentucky.

Are You Distracted? By Boni Verchota

Do you have so much on your mind you can’t concentrate to get it all done? Too many online accounts, Facebook, Twitter? Too many emails calling out to you daily? Too much stuff to get rid of, includ-ing old emails, junk? Being bombarded with too many interrup-tions? Are you trying to multi-task to get it all done? Studies have demonstrated that our brains just can’t handle multi-tasking effec-tively. So, how can we do it all? Break a task into manageable pieces. Create an optimal, quiet, work environment without distractions such as T.V., music, people & pets. Now, complete one task at a time. Not motivated to do it? Ask yourself why you want or need to do this. Make your goal clear. Write down what you want to get done. You’ll find you can con-centrate once you are motivated. Make sure you eat smaller meals, more often. Fruit, yogurt and grained breads may improve your focus better than not eating or overeating (remember the no flour/no sugar rule). Take short breaks to stretch, walk or eat a healthy snack. Exercise increases oxygen and glucose supplies to your brain to help keep you sharp. Reward yourself for getting the task done. Your brain will produce dopamine and you’ll feel even better about starting the next task!


A Word or Two From Dr. Adam

Stress Relief Stress has become a fact of life, and for some, the daily norm. Although occasional stress can help improve our focus and performance, living with chronic stress can backfire by causing anxiety, depression, and serious health problems.

Understanding who we are, knowing our major struggles, putting them in perspective, and taking action can help us deal with stress. The following strategies can also improve stress tolerance and help lessen the effects of stress on our health.

Think Positively “Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into positive,” said Hans Selye, author of the groundbreaking work around stress theory. When optimism is hard to muster, cognitive-behavioral therapy, which trains people to rec-ognize negative thinking patterns and replace them with more constructive ones, can also help reduce the risk of chronic stress and depression.

Get Out and Enjoy Nature While modern civilization has made our lives more convenient, it has deprived us of an essential source of stress re-lief—connection with nature. Studies show that interacting with nature can help lessen the effects of stress on the nerv-ous system, reduce attention deficits, decrease aggression, and enhance spiritual well-being.

“Smell the Roses” for Better Mood Aromatherapy, or smelling essential plant oils, recognized worldwide as a complementary therapy for managing chronic pain, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and stress-related disorders, can help you unwind. Orange and lavender scents, in particular, have been shown to enhance relaxation and reduce anxiety.

Laugh It Off Humor relieves stress and anxiety and prevents depression, helping put our troubles in perspective. Laughter can help boost the immune system, increase pain tolerance, enhance mood and creativity, and lower blood pressure, potentially improving treatment outcomes for many health problems, including cancer and HIV. Humor may also be related to happiness, which has been linked to high self-esteem, extroversion, and feeling in control.

Build a Support System Relationships are also key to health and happiness, especially for women. Women with low social support, for example, are more likely to increase blood pressure under stress. Loneliness may also contribute to stress in both men and women, also leading to poorer outcomes after a stroke or congestive heart failure. On the other hand, active and so-cially involved seniors are at lower risk for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Social support also helps cancer patients to boost the immune system and maintain a higher quality of life.

Calm Your Mind In recent decades, many forms of meditation have gained popularity as relaxation and pain relief tools. Focusing on our breath, looking at a candle, or practicing a non-judgmental awareness of our thoughts and actions can help tune out distractions, reduce anxiety and depression, and accept our circumstances. In cancer patients, meditation-based stress reduction enhances quality of life, lowers stress symptoms, and potentially benefits the immune system.

Guided imagery, such as visualizing pictures prompted by an audiotape recording, also shows promise in stress relief and pain reduction. Based on the idea that the mind can affect the body, guided imagery can be a useful adjunct to can-cer therapy, focusing patients on positive images to help heal their bodies.

Give Exercise a Shot To get the best of both worlds, affecting the mind through the body while getting into good physical shape, try exercise. In one study, a group of lung cancer patients increased their hope due to exercise. Exercise can also reduce depression and improve wound healing in the elderly. Tai chi, which works for people of all ages, may enhance heart and lung function, improve balance and posture, and prevent falls, while reducing stress.

No matter what stress-relief methods you choose, make it a habit to use them—especially if you feel too stressed out to do it. As someone once said, the time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.

The Academy of Model Aeronautics: Take off and Grow!

The Four Seasons R. C. Flyers Club of Townsend will host an educational introduction program for the hobby of flying radio con-trolled model aircraft on Saturday, July 31 from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm at the Lakes Country Public Library. Flying lessons will be taught from a computer simulator program, followed by a hands on opportunity to fly a trainer aircraft with the assistance of an in-structor at the club's flying field on Valley View Road, Townsend. Young and old are invited to come experience this exciting hobby which is now of major importance in the war in Afghanistan with the use of the drone aircraft.


Students successfully completing the first session of the Town-send Flowage Association Boat Safety Training Seminar are now certified to operate watercraft. Instructors Bruce Beno, Dan Coopman, Sherman Laundrie, and Bud Nackers taught the three day course, which is believed to be the only one currently of-fered in Oconto County.

Wisconsin State Law says that if you were born after January 1, 1989, you are required to have a Safety Certificate to legally operate any motorized watercraft. Uncertified operators can be cited and fined up to $200.00.

Due to the high demand for this training, a second session will be conducted in August. If you were not able to enroll this year and are still interested in acquiring a Safety Certificate, you can reserve a spot in a class to be offered in Spring 2011 by calling TFA President Dan Coopman (715-276-6157).

Family meals boost

children’s health--especially

when the TV is off Looking for ways to connect with your children and help them be healthier? Sharing meals together and turning off the television during your meals are two ways for parents to encourage their children to make healthier food choices, maintain a healthy weight, and share family interests and values.

“The importance of family meals and limiting the amount of time children spend watching TV have received a lot of attention recently, especially in light of growing concerns about child-hood obesity,” says Terri Miller, nutri-tion education program coordinator with the University of Wisconsin-Extension.

Studies conducted at the University of Minnesota, Harvard and Rutgers found that the more often adolescents ate family meals with their parents, the more likely they were to eat fruits, vegetables and calcium-rich foods such as milk, and the less likely they were to drink sweetened beverages such as soda. When the television was off during family meals, adolescents ate more dark green/yellow vegetables and calcium-rich foods, and fewer sweetened beverages than when the television was turned on.

“We also know that children who are overweight spend more time watching TV than children who are not over-weight,” says Miller. Not only are children inactive while watching television, but they also are being exposed to persuasive advertisements for high fat, high sugar foods.

Research has shown that young children who eat with other family members tend to eat more from the basic food groups such as fruits and vegetables. “Young children are much more likely to eat vegetables when they see mom or dad eating vegetables,” says Miller.

Family meals also provide opportunities to talk with children and build family bonds. They may even contribute to young children’s language and brain development and help protect adolescents against use of tobacco, alcohol and marijuana, poor grades in school, depression, suicide and eating disorders.

With today’s busy lifestyles, it can be difficult to find time to eat together. Miller suggests that parents plan for at least one meal together as a family each week, and try not to let other things interfere. Some families find it’s eas-ier to eat breakfast together than other meals during the day. Other families find weekends to be the best times. “Show that family meals are important by turning off the television and cell phones,” advises Miller.

Parents might not have the power to control all of the things in their environment that affect their children’s health and well-being. But they can make a point of eating meals with their children and turning off the television.

For more suggestions on ways to encourage healthy eating habits, contact Terri Miller, UW-Extension Nutrition Program Coordinator for Florence, Forest and Vilas counties at 715-479-3653.
