Lakewood Hatchery Ready for 2016 Season!

NOCTA (Northern Oconto County Trout Alliance) is proud to announce it is the 2016 Season is on!
Beginning June 11, with a work day readying the facility for the arrival of the fish, Hatchery volunteers were joined by members
of the Pirates of the Northwoods Parrorhead Club in cleaning up the grounds, including the indoor workspace and holding
tanks. It takes a lot of dedicated people to make a project like this happen, many thanks to all who pitched in.
The Lakewood Trout Rearing Station, which had been closed for several years, was revitalized in 2015 by the NOCTA, a group
of fishing enthusiasts who wanted to see a return of trout to local waters. Through months of hard work and negotiating, a plan
was formed between the DNR and the NOCTA to reopen the Lakewood site using all volunteer workers. Scott Vanlanen, NOCTA Director, reports that the 2016 season will see approximately 25,000 fish, 4,000 Brown Trout and 21,000 Brook Trout reared
at the facility with distribution to local waters sometime this October. That is an increase of 10,000 fish reared in the 2015 season.
Vanlanen also announced that this year tours will be held every Saturday in July, 11 am 2 pm, free of charge. Although donations toward fish feed would be very welcome.
It had long been an up north tradition to take the kids to the Hatchery and let them see and feed the fish during the facilitys
previous operation and NOCTA wanted to offer that experience to the public again. Be it nostalgic or a new experience, bring
the family out the Hatchery and have some fun!

It was a great kickoff to summer month. We

had 30 + people over for some grillin and
some chillin to start off our summer right.
This months article is regarding our schools
and all that is happening. I support our
schools, our teachers, our coaches, but most
importantly, I support what is right for the
children. I think the more people involved and
supporting our schools, the more our schools
will thrive. Not everyone is going to have the
same opinion, and thats OK. There is no
need to insult or try to discredit anyone who
doesnt agree with you. It is America after all.
Any articles that are written may voice concerns, or questions or simply report what
happens at board meetings and are simply
written to inform and make the public aware,
so more people can support our schools and
know what is going on, whether those things
are good or bad depends on everyones individual opinion. Many times, my articles often
give accolades to our students and teachers.
You will see in the following article, I am
supporting our teachers 100%. Now, certainly
no one should find fault with that. We need
to hang on to our great teachers, right?
Having said that:

more than you realize. And we are grateful

beyond words. I wish you only the best, and
as sad as I am, I'm proud you stayed true to
yourself.
WE LOVE YOU! And the Class of 2018

Bus Garage? Yes or no? Are we building a
school bus garage or arent we? That seems to
be the question everyone keeps asking me.
Two months ago the board voted to build one,
and now they voted to rescind the motion and
spend money on another cost analysis study.
At a previous school board meeting, six more
positions were vacant and posted on the agenda to be hired, and I have noticed a few more
were recently posted.

As of June 1st 2016, according to a list given

by the administrator, in the past 2 years we
have had 28 + employees leave our district,
16 of those were teachers. We have recently
had a few more resign. Open enrollment

than normal. Our school board decided to cut
the position to part time instead of offering
new classes that Kristie can teach, in addition
to the ones she already does. I had a great
discussion with Bill Taylor, our High School
Principal, and yes, some of her class numbers
were low. That will happen when they are
scheduled against required courses. Kids
have to fulfill required courses before selecting electives. But, as per Bill, the kids were
only offered the same courses that were already being offered. I am just wondering why
they werent offered more options to the
many new courses Kristie Gill IS certified to
teach. That would have been a win win for
everyone in my opinion. The kids would have
had more electives to choose from and we
wouldnt have to cut a veteran teachers position to part time. The only two members voting to keep Kristie as a full time teacher,
were Jim Smith and Joan Sackett. Kristie is a
17 year veteran teacher who moved her family into the district, pays taxes here, is involved in her community and church as well
being a class advisor and FCCLA adviser
(taking 3 competitors to Nationals this year).
In my opinion, I think she has more than
earned the respect to have school personnel
take the time to rework her schedule. Yes, its
an undertaking, but one I know she would
have gladly helped with. Like most families,
both her and her husband work fulltime jobs,
and working part time just doesnt pay the
bills. This is devastating to her family.
Some subjects she covers are nutrition, health,
budgeting, cooking, food science, family
living, sewing, child care, fashion design, and
countless others. These are vital things for our
children to learn. In my opinion, these classes
teach some are some very important things
that we all utilize every day. Why isnt this
important?
Lets slow down the process and start looking
at things from all directions. I think it would
be beneficial to the students to do this.
Lets keep our schools strong, lets work
harder at keeping our strong teachers here.
Be kind to one another.
Words of Wisdom:
Article 19 states that Everyone has the right

right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media
and regardless of frontiers. The Freedom of

opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship.

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

either increase or decrease. The total number currently on active

The Townsend Centennial Committee is challenging you to

walk or bike one hundred miles for one hundred years. Get
route maps and checklist at Karla's Country Kitchen on Highway 32 or at townoftownsend.com. Complete the challenge by
October 31, 2016, to earn bragging rights and a souvenir TShirt.
The 100 mile trek has been divided into 30 different parts.
Some walkers/bikers may want to further divide the longer
sections into more manageable distances. For exact details on
each route, visit thetruthabouttownsend.com for postings on
each section of the challenge, along with very helpful notes
and suggestions. Click on the CHALLENGE link.
For example: Walk #1 (3 miles) Starts and ends at Oughton
Park off Pickerel Lake Road.
Primarily a hard-packed sandy gravel road. Best to walk or
mountain bike; some sections are not very 10-speed tire friendly. Easy level walk amid rustic terrain that is replete with towering pines planted by the CCCs, sandy ridges, and copious
wetlands. Road goes past beautiful little Plantation Lake on
your left. Cell phone service is spotty. Have your final affairs
in order or bring your bug and bear repellent! Big plus: Oughton Park has outdoor bathrooms.
So lace up those walking shoes or air up those bike tires--it's
time for the Road Warrior Challenge!

A Word or Two From Dr. Adam

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.
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 2002 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.
What Can a Doctor of Chiropractic Do?
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.

Home on June 9, 2016. She was born on
June 4, 1951 to the late Melvin J. and
Jeanne (Barnell) Zahn in North Platte, Nebraska. They moved to Suring in 1955 and
remained here for the rest of their life. Cindy graduated from Suring High School with the Class of
1969.

The Nicolet AARP group dinner at the Anderson Supper

Club in Lakewood was well attended by 27 members who
enjoyed a fine meal, mostly choosing the excellent ribs dinner. Dick Culver, the Public Relations Chairman, received a
rousing welcome when he arrived a little late after going to
the wrong restaurant. The group likes to keep its outings
lively and does support and sometimes kid its members.
Being a little late Dick Culver was fortunate to be seated
with Jean Forest and Lois Trever. The ladies were looking
forward to the upcoming Townsend Tent Revival which is a
Townsend Centennial event. Jean Forest had fond memories
of attending a tent revival held in Laona when she was a
child and found it very inspirational.
The speaker for the Nicolet AARP meeting on June 28 will
be Jim Biernesz. Jim Biernesz will talk to the AARP members about bees. Bees are important pollinators and their
population decline is a concern. Members were reminded of
the brat fry on Friday at the Lakewood Super Valu.
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 the month starting at 7:00
PM. Contact Joyce West, Membership Chairman, at 715276-9409.
