By Kathleen Marsh

The first UNAC (Up North Authors Circle) meeting of 2011 was held at the Lakewood Library on January 12. Kathleen Marsh
began by reading a very well received excerpt from Oconto author George Wamser’s “The Mystery.” Evelyn Gaede then reported on a
“once-in-a-lifetime offer” she had received from a self-publishing firm.
The company proposed that, for thousands of dollars in fees, a Hollywood
“treatment” would turn her first novel, Chelsea’s Doom, into a screen play
that “Hollywood directors were very interested in.” Evelyn wisely looked
more carefully into the proposal and saw it for what it was: a shameless
solicitation routinely sent to every writer who had ever used the company
to publish his/her work.
Once that bit of unpleasantness had been settled, several writers shared
new and old work. Jacqulyn Jahnke, who travels from Green Bay to attend
meetings, had just come from an interview in Gladstone, Michigan, where
she was getting information for her book The Purple Wedding Dress. Jacqulyn
shared a rewrite of a chapter from the book which she has been working
on for several years. It was obvious that she had really “done it” this time,
and Jacqulyn is now headed into the final stages of editing. “A summer
publication is a real possibility now,” she said with a huge smile.
The rest of the meeting had a new twist: it was entirely devoted to poetry.
Clare Huisman shared a rousing “Packer Fight Song” that she had written
in honor of Green Bay’s 2011 appearance in the playoffs. She got everyone
singing, and it was suggested that her song would make a perfect YouTube video.
Next, Zach Mason read three poems he was thinking of submitting to the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poetry Muse Contest. Group
members helped him choose a poem he calls “Paddy-Whacked,” hilarious, satirical rhymed verse. Newcomer Nancy Jo Garner then also
read several poems, including “The Trucker Way” and “Near Island Song.” All of her poems are filled with amazing imagery that de-
lighted UNAC members.
The meeting ended with Shari Posselt reading a sad and wistful poem, “My Horse Ebony.” Everyone agreed that Shari has a way
of packing her work with colorful language that really communicates her passion for written expression.

Yoga, Pilates & Samba Cardio McCaslin Lioness Donate to

By Boni Verchota

Today, I had my last visit with the doctor, to get the results
Townsend Fire Department
from my last blood draw. I was excited to see what foods I’m
still allergic to and which foods I can reintroduce back into my The McCaslin Lioness Club’s President, Mary Ellen
diet. I learned I can blame genetics for my allergies to Night-
shade foods (potatoes, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, egg-
Greiten, presented Townsend Fire Chief Rick Opiela
plant, pimentos, paprika, cayenne, and Tabasco sauce), Citrus with the Club’s annual donation to the Fire Depart-
(orange, lemon and limes) and Legumes (black-eyed peas, len- ment.
tils, navy, black, garbanzo, kidney & pinto beans. My body
fights them like a foreign material, but my white blood cells
weaken from defeat. If I want my white blood cells to remain
strong enough to defend my body from future disease, I must
continue to rotate my foods, and avoid those that I’m
“sensitive” to. I can add a few foods back into my diet
(chicken eggs are still out). In conclusion, I lost a few pounds,
gained lean muscle mass from more intense workouts, dropped
almost 1% body fat to 20.4% and my blood sugar is 80
(perfect). I’ve learned a lot, feel better, understand the whys
and what-if’s and will continue to prepare my meals from the
suggested food menus I was given back in May. I’m pleased
with the results and will continue to eat properly and workout
daily (weight-bearing and cardio). I wish you all a prosperous
and Happy New Year. Happy Health to you all…..Boni

A Word or Two From Dr. Adam

Tips to Maintain Good Posture
Why is good posture important?

• Helps us keep bones and joints in correct alignment so that our

muscles are used correctly, decreasing the abnormal wearing of joint
surfaces that could result in degenerative arthritis and joint pain.
• Reduces the stress on the ligaments holding the spinal joints to-
gether, minimizing the likelihood of injury.
• Allows muscles to work more efficiently, allowing the body to use
less energy and, therefore, preventing muscle fatigue.
• Helps prevent muscle strain, overuse disorders, and even back and
muscular pain.
How do I sit properly?

• Keep your feet on the floor or on a footrest, if they don't reach the
floor.
• Don't cross your legs. Your ankles should be in front of your knees.
• Keep a small gap between the back of your knees and the front of
your seat.
• Your knees should be at or below the level of your hips.
• Adjust the backrest of your chair to support your low-
and mid-back or use a back support.
• Relax your shoulders and keep your forearms parallel to
the ground.
• Avoid sitting in the same position for long periods of
time.
How do I stand properly?

• Bear your weight primarily on the balls of your feet.

• Keep your knees slightly bent.
• Keep your feet about shoulder-width apart.
• Let your arms hang naturally down the sides of the
body.
• Stand straight and tall with your shoulders pulled back-
ward.
• Tuck your stomach in.
• Keep your head level-your earlobes should be in line
with your shoulders. Do not push your head forward,
backward, or to the side.

A Kindergarten Class Gives a Gift of Hope by; Jacki Champine,

A student of Mrs. Champine’s Kindergarten class at Wabeno Elementary has been unable to attend school
due to his in and out of hospitals and doctors’ visits. Logan Wamego was diagnosed early this past August with Os-
teosarcoma (a form of Bone Cancer) and has been bravely battling this heartbreaking disease with strength and
courage. Although Logan has been unable to attend school he continues to have positive hopes of one day soon re-
turning and having fun with his Kindergarten friends. It was with this positive spirit that Mrs. Champine decided
to assemble a “Quilt of Hope” for Logan with messages of cures for cancer. Students at Wabeno Elementary pur-
chased a signature space and all of the proceeds donated went to help the family on their trips in and out of the
hospital for Logan’s chemotherapy treatments. With the unbelievable support from students and staff, Logan was
given a check for $800. “You have truly lifted one little boy’s hopes and should be commended on your generosity”
states Linda Roberts (Logan’s Grandmother).
Logan and his family continue to fight for
what will be one of the toughest battles they
may ever face. It is our hope that this little
“Quilt of Hope” serves as a reminder of the
friendship and bond Logan has at Wabeno

Elementary. A special thanks goes to Patti Carter for donating her

time in assembling this quilt for Mrs. Champine’s class. “You did a
wonderful job and we cannot say thanks enough” states Mrs.
Champine and her Kindergarten class!
