From the Editor-news and notes

Little Boy Wonder is on our cover today. He announced that we have another 6 or so more weeks of winter. He was delighted to
share this news as it meant he will get to make more snowmen. So buckle up folks and enjoy the rest of our winter. We are much
luckier than the friends and family who are locked in the Blizzard of 2015 on the East Coast. So far theyve gotten close to 2 feet of
snow and high winds in the 60 mph range.
Since our last issue, Dec., we have lost some very near and dear friends here at home and those weve
known in IL. Little Logan lost his battle with cancer shortly before his 10 th birthday in Dec. He was so
brave and strong.
Gus Heisler recently passed away. He was active in our communities for many years and a friend to
many he met. He was the grand marshall in one of the Lakewood Mardi Gras parades. RIP Gus.
Two of our friends in IL both fought their fights with cancer. We spent many years side-by-side with
our friend Randi Balt working many archery events in the Kane County Fox Valley area in IL. She
was also god-mother to my daughter Melanie. She was a vibrant person who always knew just what
needed to be done and kept everyone on their toes. RIP Randi.
They say an artists work come more to life after their passing. Our friend Hawk was a brilliant artist whose work will last forever. He
fought his battle with cancer in strife but lost his life in a recent apartment fire. Heres one for you Hawk! (raising my glass)
On a much brighter note SPRING will be here SOON.
In passing; America, and here at home, we have lost many wonderful friends and family. Our thoughts and prayers to you all. And, to those whose
lives were lost in the recent snowstorms, tornados, fires and floods.
Get Well Wishes to all of our friends and neighbors.
UPCOMING EVENTS; See our pages for the wonderful events that are scheduled during the month. Be sure to ck page 19 for the events for
November, church and school fairs and holiday dinners.
Birthday Wishes to all of our friends and neighbors;

Im hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a fantastic new year with all great things in store for you.
This time of year we see a lot of political ads because board member terms are coming to an end. Nothing tears a small town apart faster
than politics, more specifically crooked politics. Im not speaking of Republican vs. Democrat politics. I am speaking of Right vs.
Wrong politics.
Everyone falls into a certain category when a town is divided on right vs. wrong politics.
The I dont want to get involved people. The I see the bad stuff going on, and I will talk about it and complain about it, but I wont
stand up against the wrongdoers people. The I will defend the wrongdoers no matter what people. The Even though I am smart
enough to know what they are doing is wrong, I am still going to defend them out of pity, fear or friendship people. The Im naive, and
believe whatever I am told without question because certainly no one would do such bad things, it has to be someone elses fault people.
The I am looking at it through the eyes of the law, and I know what they are doing is wrong, and I am standing up for what is right people. (These are the people who take a lot of the heat).
So where do you fall into these local politics? Hypothetical question Someone who you are defending and supporting is proved to have
broken the law or has done something very unethical - do you remain in support of them regardless of right or wrong? Or do you now
stand up for what is right? Or, will you place blame elsewhere because you are still in
denial? Or do you call the wrongdoers out after having supported them, because you now
realize you have been lied to?
More importantly, have you changed the way you treat someone, like a friend, because
they dont agree with you on certain issues?
Are you open minded?
I think we can all agree that when you run for a political office, such as a school board or
town board, you essentially become someones employer, not to mention, you are working for your constituents who have a right to keep you in check since they put you in
that position. If you take a position on a board or government office, are you prepared to
fire someone if you have to? In this day and age, you cant be their buddy; you have to be
their boss. Someone needs to hold state, municipal and school employees accountable,
right? This is why we vote for new offices every few years, to TRY to avoid corruption.
I was at a meeting where the chairman rudely said I cant wait until elections! I cant
wait until all this crap is over with. I guess if someone feels that negatively about something, maybe thats not the job for them anyway and they can always step down.
In our little town, we have a lot of people running for local town and school board positions right now. Are the candidates running with good intentions, or running with a personal agenda?
So, I think its only right that we provide our voters with a MEET THE CANDIDATES
meeting 1 for Town Board Elections and 1 for our School Board Elections. Lets let the
voters ask them questions and get the answers. After all, if you are a candidate that wants
people to vote for you, dont you want the voting public to know who you are and where you stand on issues? All candidates should be
able to provide the answers the community members seek. Right now, I am under the understanding that there are 6 or 7 people running for
town supervisor (2 positions available), 2 people running for town chairman (1 position available) and 2 people running for Treasurer (1 position available).
I am unsure of how many are actually running for school board but I believe there are 3 spots vacant and at least 6 people running.
I implore you. Know what each candidate stands for and what they are willing to do for their constituents. Will they be a positive addition to
our boards? Will he or she hold people accountable? Are they interested in bringing more people to our schools and communities? Will they do
what is right by their entire community? Are they running for the right reasons? What made them decide to run?
And just a little friendly advice for those who like to make mountains out of mole hills. If someone has a camcorder at an open meeting,
odds are that it is recording, so when telling the story about what did or didnt happened at a meeting, you probably should tell the truth, since
it only takes 3 minutes to record a DVD copy and show people the actual meeting. I am actually contemplating posting all board meetings on
YouTube in the coming year. It keeps people honest.
Make it a beautiful month everyone and please educate yourself before voting. Voting for someone because they are a friend or relative could
be detrimental to our communities.
WORDS OF WISDOM: Albert Einstein once said The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them
without doing anything. How true that is!

"Red Arrow Snowmobile ATV Club, headquartered in

Townsend, is in the process of writing its history," says newly
-elected Red Arrow President Joseph Kamp. "In that regard, I
have directed our Secretary Kim Weireich to assemble an ad

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."

Town chairman Bruce Karow announced at the January Townsend Town Board meeting that Illinois residents Barbara and Ray
(Bud) Oughton Jr. have sent the Town a check for $1000 to be
used for Oughton Park on Pickerel Lake. This is the backstory to
the donation.
In 2013 Kathleen Marie
Marsh was working on her
history of the township called
The Truth About Townsend
III: Bust to Boomers. While
reading Town Board minutes
from 1960, she came across
an entry detailing the donation of land and playground
equipment for a public park
given by Ray Oughton and
Family. She remembered
seeing a sign at the park
Donated by the Ray Oughton Family and wanted to
include Mrs. Oughtons first name in the book. She asked around
and no one had any idea what it was. When she checked online
at People Search, she found a listing for Ray Oughton Jr., Woodstock, Illinois. She crossed her fingers and dialed the number. No
one answered, but she left a message on the generic voicemail
response. After not hearing back for weeks, she thought it was a

wrong number and gave up. Then one night a very apologetic
Ray called. He and Barb had been away on one of their many
trips and had just gotten her message.
We had a wonderful chat, Marsh says. I told him how much I
love the park, how beautiful the site is, and how it was almost
lost in a land trade in the 1960s, but residents valued it so much
they refused the deal. I added that there is a public boat landing
there, and that on weekends families picnic on the grounds. I
added that the McCaslin Lions had built a very nice shelter there
some years back which is used for family reunions and community gatherings.
Eighty-year-old Bud says he was delighted by their conversation:
I hadnt been to Townsend in over 50 years, but I remembered
my folks had donated land for a park before they sold their cottage and moved away. I wondered what happened to it and assumed it was long gone. I also thought Townsend was pretty
much the same as the last time I was there in the 1960s. When
Kathleen told me that was definitely not the case and invited me
to see for myself, I knew I had to go. Barb and I drove up the
first weekend of October. We got the full up north experience
by staying at Lee and Bev Gerndts cute and cozy northwoods
rental cabin in Townsend. We drove around to the few places
still there that I recall, explored the park, ate at the Old Town
Hall and Hillcrest, and got front row seats at the Red Light Saloon Show on Saturday night. We had a really great time.

You dont think it will happen to you. Your four legged child has never wandered off.
They always stay close to the house. Then it happens. They are gone. You call and
call and they are nowhere to be seen. Now what do you do? First, dont panic. If you
think it has been a long time since you saw them last, call the Humane Officer. He is
Keith Laluzerne. 715-850-2299. Have a description and if they had tags on a collar on
them. Vet tags, county tags, etc. Identifying marks, chip ID.
Here is another item that has worked and I have seen in recent months. If you have a picture of your
loved one, place that picture on Facebook or Twitter. Who doesnt have a picture of their four legged
child? If you dont, you should. Not only does it identify your pet, but you should include a family member or yourself in a picture too. You are scratching your head now
wondering why. I will give you an example. After hurricane Katrina, many pets and
owners were separated. Positive identification was helpful with a picture of your pet
with you or a family member. Think about it. Hundreds of lost, found animals and
frantic owners looking for them in shelters, holding areas. Never say never. What
makes for a happy ending is time. Call the Humane Officer soon after the incident.
This time of year weather is a factor in how long the Humane Officer can hold them.
Keith does not have a closed in heated holding area. With dangerous wind chills and
temps we have already had, they will be brought to the Oconto shelter sooner than later. So, watch your pets closely when they go outside to do their duty. If they do wander off, call Keith to give him info and he already
may have them. A good day is having them cozy up to you at night after a long day. Have a nice remaining day.

A Word or Two From Dr. Adam

A "New" Comedy production by Let Me Be Frank Productions is coming to Lakewood on Saturday March 21, 2015.
Ticket price includes Dinner and Tip.
The Comedy Show is about Johnny (Blood) McNally, the
famed "vagabond halfback" totally unpredictable funster on
and off the field. Johnny was a superb runner with breakaway speed and an exceptional pass receiver. Johnny's assumed "Johnny Blood" alias came from a Valentino movie
title "Blood and Sand". He still had a year of college eligibility remaining when he decided to take a shot at pro football. A common practice in the 1920's was to take an alias
to protect college eligibility. Johnny and his friend were
walking past a theater where the movie was playing and he
said "that's it, you be Sand and I'll be Blood".
The best year's for Johnny were with the Packer's, he was a
major contributor to four championship teams in 1929, 30,
31 and 1936. Johnny was born in New Richmond WI in
1903. His off the field antics are what make this show a winner!
Don't miss the fun with other Red Arrow Snowmobile ATV
club members.
Members are being offered tickets before the general public.
Tickets can be purchased for tables of 8, 6, or individual.
Not everyone in your group needs to be a member of the

Headaches & Chiropractic

If you have a headache, youre not alone. Nine out of ten Americans suffer from headaches. Some are occasional, some
frequent, some are dull and throbbing, and some cause debilitating pain and nausea.
What do you do when you suffer from a pounding headache? Do you grit your teeth and carry on? Lie down? Pop a pill
and hope the pain goes away? There is a better alternative.
Research shows that spinal manipulation the primary form of care provided by doctors of chiropractic may be an effective treatment option for tension headaches and headaches that originate in the neck.
A report released in 2001 by researchers at the Duke University Evidence-Based Practice Center in Durham, NC, found
that spinal manipulation resulted in almost immediate improvement for those headaches that originate in the neck, and had
significantly fewer side effects and longer-lasting relief of tension-type headache than a commonly prescribed medication.
Also, a 1995 study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that spinal manipulative therapy is
an effective treatment for tension headaches and that those who ceased chiropractic treatment after four weeks experienced
a sustained therapeutic benefit in contrast with those patients who received a commonly prescribed medication.
Headache Triggers
Headaches have many causes, or triggers. These may include foods, environmental stimuli (noises, lights, stress, etc.)
and/or behaviors (insomnia, excessive exercise, blood sugar changes, etc.). About 5 percent of all headaches are warning
signals caused by physical problems.
Ninety-five percent of headaches are primary headaches, such as tension, migraine, or cluster headaches. These types of
headaches are not caused by disease. The headache itself is the primary concern.
The greatest majority of primary headaches are associated with muscle tension in the neck.. Today, Americans engage in
more sedentary activities than they used to, and more hours are spent in one fixed position or posture. This can increase
joint irritation and muscle tension in the neck, upper back and scalp, causing your head to ache.
What Can You Do?
The ACA suggests the following:
If you spend a large amount of time in one fixed position, such as in front of a computer, on a sewing machine, typing
or reading, take a break and stretch every 30 minutes to one hour. The stretches should take your head and neck
through a comfortable range of motion.
Low-impact exercise may help relieve the pain associated with primary headaches. However, if you are prone to dull,
throbbing headaches, avoid heavy exercise. Engage in such activities
as walking and low-impact aerobics.
Avoid teeth clenching. The upper teeth should never touch the lowers,
except when swallowing. This results in stress at the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) the two joints that connect your jaw to your
skull leading to TMJ irritation and a form of tension headaches.
Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day to help avoid dehydration, which can lead to headaches.
What Can a Doctor of Chiropractic Do?
A doctor of chiropractic may do one or more of the following if you suffer
from a primary headache:
Perform spinal manipulation or chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal function and alleviate the stress on your system.
Provide nutritional advice, recommending a change in diet and perhaps
the addition of B complex vitamins.
Offer advice on posture, ergonomics (work postures), exercises and relaxation techniques. This advice should help to relieve the recurring
joint irritation and tension in the muscles of the neck and upper
back.
Doctors of chiropractic undergo extensive training to help their patients in
many ways not just back pain. They know how tension in the spine relates
to problems in other parts of the body, and they can take steps to relieve those
problems.

David J. Hawksley of St. Charles, 60, born 1955, passed

away on January 11, 2015. Even after a valiant and courageous battle with lung cancer, a more tragic death consumed
his life as a victim of a house fire.
He was a loving son of Arthur and the late Phyllis Hawksley;
dear brother of the late Alan Hawksley, Kenneth, Keith and
LeeAnn Lynch, fond sister in law and brother in law Kristie
Hawksley and Bill Lynch, loving Uncle Davey to Morgan,
Liam, Connor and Logan and treasured by the Purcell and
Liebing families.
David was a naturally brilliant and gifted artist with an expertise in pencil and charcoal drawings and a talented carpenter by trade. He was well read and deeply versed with a
passion for History.
His special love for his friends (and their fierce love for him)
was his passion, as well as his devotion to the San Francisco
Giants.
