President Barack Obama “Operation Iraqi Freedom is over”

At every turn, America’s men and women in uniform have served with courage
and resolve. As Commander-in-Chief, I am incredibly proud of their ser-
vice. And like all Americans, I’m awed by their sacrifice, and by the sacrifices
of their families.
The Americans who have served in Iraq completed every mission they were
given. They defeated a regime that had terrorized its people. Together with
Iraqis and coalition partners who made huge sacrifices of their own, our troops
fought block by block to help Iraq seize the chance for a better future. They
shifted tactics to protect the Iraqi people, trained Iraqi Security Forces, and took
out terrorist leaders. Because of our troops and civilians -- and because of the
resilience of the Iraqi people -- Iraq has the opportunity to embrace a new destiny, even though many challenges remain.
So tonight, I am announcing that the American combat mission in Iraq has ended. Operation Iraqi Freedom is over, and the
Iraqi people now have lead responsibility for the security of their country. Having drawn down 100,000 troops since taking
office, a much smaller force will stay to train and assist the Iraqi forces during the transition period. The President was un-
ambivalent on what would happen after that time: “all U.S. troops will leave by the end of next year.”
Americans across the political spectrum supported the use of force against those who attacked us on 9/11. Now, as we ap-
proach our 10th year of combat in Afghanistan, there are those who are understandably asking tough questions about our
mission there. But we must never lose sight of what’s at stake. As we speak, al Qaeda continues to plot against us, and its
leadership remains anchored in the border regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. We will disrupt, dismantle and defeat al
Qaeda, while preventing Afghanistan from again serving as a base for terrorists. And because of our drawdown in Iraq, we
are now able to apply the resources necessary to go on offense. In fact, over the last 19 months, nearly a dozen al Qaeda
leaders -- and hundreds of al Qaeda’s extremist allies -- have been killed or captured around the world.

The Chronicles of Terra -Seeds of Chaos

Phil Adamczyk currently attends the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse with an emphasis in secondary
English and history education. When not working at school or during the summer, Phil enjoys spending
time with his friends and family, or just taking some time to relax and work on his upcoming titles. Of
his writing, Phil says, "I don't write to make money. That has never been my intention, nor do I have
any intention of making it one of my goals. I write simply because I love to do it, and because I love to
share my ideas with others. The greatest reward I can ever receive is when someone tells me they en-
joyed my work. That alone makes everything that I write worthwhile." Phil plans to further his work in
writing, hoping to continue with even more and new exciting ideas as his work progresses.
The Chronicles of Terra—Seeds of Chaos is authored by Phillip J. Adamczyk with illustrations by Mrs.
Jo Marie Laycock
A power struggle has broken out on the world of Chaos after twenty years of peace. The remaining le-
gions of Chaos loyal to Helius Rue continue to struggle against the change of their world in a never-
ending war against Queen Ginger Molloy.
Unbeknownst to the good Queen Ginger, conflict is brewing on Chaos once more. A new darkness that neither she nor any-
one in the world has ever seen is emerging; one, perhaps, that could undo the good she has done and choke out the growing
white magic on Chaos. Is it possible that Helius Rue has returned and is the one responsible? Or is it possible that this grow-
ing dark force is somehow stronger? Can they stop the evil? Or is it already too late?

By Kathleen Marsh

Members of the Up North Authors Circle (UNAC) have been very busy writing these past few months. At their last meeting on July
14, three members of the group shared pieces they have been working on.
Jim Adamczyk read a narative he wrote as an entry for a short story contest. His piece is a ghost story he entitled “Epiphany.” The plot
revolves around the reappearance of Julia Miller, a long dead young lady who shares with the narrator the basic question all human
beings must answer: what are you doing with your life while here on earth? Group members were very enthusiastic about the highly
creative story and wished Jim well in his quest to win a prize with it.
Zach Mason followed with the first chapter of his book The Fuhrer’s Secret Corps, the fourth book in his Queen of Hearts series.
Members complimented Zach on his imaginative work, and he promised to incorporate into his writing the many helpful suggestions
that came forth from his peers.
Evelyn Gaede again shared the often-revised first chapter of Jenny’s Destiny, the opening chapter of her sequel to Chelsea’s Doom.
Evelyn has been struggling for over a year to find just the right beginning to capture her readers’ interest. This is an essential aspect of
novel writing, and she has shared three different initial chapters with the group. Members all agreed that this time she had finally done
it!
The rest of the meeting was spent discussing the plusses and minuses of using self-publishing as a means to get one’s work in print.
Members reluctantly concurred with Townsend author Kathleen Marie Marsh that the dwindling ranks of editors and agents available
to review submissions is making it very difficult for a novice to get published.
“In today’s market, unless the author is willing to take an active role in producing his or her own work, there is just a tiny chance of
success. Unless you are famous, or infamous, landing a book contract and advance is a very rare accomplishment,” Marsh said. But
then she added quickly: “You must never give up writing! It’s just too important. Never stop putting your ideas onto paper. Every year
there are new writers being discovered and introduced to the world. Who knows, you could be next!”
The August meeting of UNAC will be held at the Lakewood Library on August 11 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. New members are always
welcome to attend.

WDNR Workshop for Aquatic Invasive Species

An Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Identification Workshop was held at the Riverview Town Hall on July 31, 2010. The AIS
Workshop sponsored by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources was taught by Laura Herman from UW Extension and Jay
Schiefelbein of the WDNR. Thirty representatives from fourteen lakes in the Northern Oconto area attended the workshop to learn
how to identify various aquatic invasive species in their lakes, and to monitor and report problem species. Instruction kits were pro-
vided by the WDNR for those who attended. The Town of Riverview provided the room at no charge. The twenty member Oconto
County Lakes and Waterways Association (OCLAWA) organized the event.

The Citizens Lake Monitoring Program promoted by the WDNR and the UW Extension has
helped Wisconsin Lakes Districts and Associations for many years to monitor and report
water quality testing, secchi disk testing, invasive reporting, loon watch, and many other
programs. The AIS monitoring is an important part of that program. The WDNR website
has an extensive databank for most lakes in Wisconsin and is a valuable resource to find
maps and more information about specific lakes.

Check with your local OCLAWA representative for future meetings, workshops, and pro-
jects to protect and rehabilitate our lakes, waterways, and environment in Oconto County.

Rainbow House Helping Victims

of Domestic Violence
Rainbow House Domestic Abuse Services, Inc. is a nonprofit United
Way Agency that provides shelter, support and services to victims and
children affected by domestic violence in Oconto and Marinette
Counties and Menominee County Michigan. Domestic violence is
defined as a problem that occurs between adults who have some kind
of relationship and where one person is being abused physically, emo-
tionally/verbally, sexually and/or mentally. The type of relationship
between the two people can be related by family, dating, marriage,
those who are separated, divorced, live together or have a child in
common. Abuse has no boundaries. It can affect anyone no matter
gender, race, age, how much money someone has, what job someone
holds or what religion someone is.

We work one on one with victims who are seeking options to get out
of an unhealthy relationship or marriage. We can assist with safety
planning, restraining orders, financial assistance, legal assistance and
referrals, housing referrals, food boxes, personal care supplies and
household supplies. Our Youth Advocate works with children and

A Word or Two From Dr. Adam

Nutrition Advice for a Healthy New You

There is no better way to rejuvenate your health than by eating more nutritiously. In fact, even a few simple
changes in your diet and lifestyle can have a positive impact on your health-and can also prevent a variety of
health problems in the future.

Lifestyle Changes
• Exercise at least 20 to 30 minutes three or four days a week.
• Eat out more sparingly. Food preparation methods in restaurants often involve high amounts-and the wrong
types-of fat and sugar.
Brown-bag your lunch to control your fat and sugar content while adding nutritious fruits, vegetables, and
grains.
Dietary Changes
• Eat more raw foods. Cooking and canning destroys much of the nutrition in foods. With the exception of
canned tomatoes, which can help prevent prostate cancer, fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables always have
more natural vitamins and minerals.
• Select organically grown foods when possible, because they have lower amounts of toxic elements, such as
pesticides and heavy metals.
• Consume 25 to 30 grams of fiber a day. Whole-grain
breads and cereals, beans, nuts, and some fruits and vege-
tables are good sources of fiber. High-fiber diets can help
prevent digestive disorders, heart disease, and colon can-
cer.
• Drink eight to ten 8-ounce glasses of water a day.
Coffee, tea, soft drinks, and alcohol are dehydrators.
Don't substitute them for water.

Supplements According to the U.S. Food and Drug Ad-

ministration, dietary supplements are not substitutes for
foods, nor can a person sustain good health by just taking
vitamin and mineral supplements. When taken properly,
however, supplements can play an important role in
achieving maximum health.

The Pine Needle Quilters met August 16, for our regular meeting. There were 43 members present. The raffle of fat quarters, ex-
change of Secret Sister gifts, Strippers Club exchange, Block of the Month, UFO Club and Show and Tell was had.

Our featured speakers were the wonderful, wacky ladies from Pulaski. They demonstrated their latest project, "some real neat
purses". One of them showed us her paintings and read us some poems she had written. They were a pleasure to listen to. They told
us about the quilts they make every year to give to school kids, and how they help
others with quilting. Sounds like they’re a very busy group.

The September Sewing Session will meet on the second Monday of Sept. because of the Labor Day holiday. That will be September
13, at 1:30p.m.

Sign up sheets were out to make BBQ and bars for the quilt show. We have only one more regular meeting before our "Winter Won-
derland Quilt Show" at Suring High School Gym from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Oct 2.

A Kaleidoscope Quilts Special Sewing Event is planned for Sunday, August 29 at 9. a.m. A video was shown to those interested in
making the quilt. Material and Sewing Supplies are listed in the August Newsletter. This quilt is strip pieced and suitable for be-
ginners who are confident in their quarter inch seam allowance and in following instructions carefully. It is not difficult, you just
have to do it in steps. There will be a potluck lunch.

Our September Meeting will be held on September 20th, at 7.00 p.m. and the Sewing Session on September 13, at 1:30 p.m. at Breed
Town Hall and Community Center. Guests are welcome to visit and see if you would like to join us.

Nicolet AARP 1191

The speaker for the July meeting of the Nicolet AARP Chapter was Mike Rzepka who is one of Oconto
County Humane Officers. Mr. Rzepka discussed what the duties of the humane officer involve and told
the AARP members about some of his experiences. Mike explained in some detail the concerns about the
problem of rabies in some dogs, cats, bats and other wild animals. Although not a big problem in Wis-
consin, the concern is there because an untreated rabies bite is fatal.
The AARP Summer Picnic is scheduled for Monday, August 9th at 10:30 AM at the Mountain Commu-
nity Center. The AARP Chapter is providing brats, burgers, and desert with members bringing compli-
mentary dishes to pass. President Bob Bennett announced that Wisconsin AARP is sending a representa-
tive who will bring a cake to the event to celebrate 75 years of Social Security. All persons who plan to
attend should have signed up at the monthly meeting or call Bob Bennett at 715-276-1355 for reserva-
tions. The picnic is free for local members with a $4.00 charge for nonmembers of the local Chapter.
The speaker for the August 24 meeting will be William N. Leege. Attorney Leege has talked the AARP
members at previous meetings and is always interesting and informative. He will be talking about a num-
ber of elder law topics.
The last AARP brat fry of the year at the Lakewood Super Valu will be on August 24, 2010. The local AARP Chapter encourages
shoppers to stop by the brat stand for a brat, burgers, and a soda.
Meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the Lakewood Presbyterian Church at 7:00 p.m. All persons 50 and over
are invited to join the local AARP Chapter.
AARP meetings are social, entertaining, and informative. Contact Joyce West, membership chairman, at 715-276-9409.

National Guard and

Reserve
Mobilized as of Aug 24, 2010
This week the Army and Marine Corps announced a de-
crease in activated reservists, while the Navy, Air Force and
Coast Guard announced an increase. The net collective
result is 76 more reservists activated than last week.
At any given time, services may activate some units
and individuals while deactivating others, making it possi-
ble for these figures to either increase or decrease. The total
number currently on active duty from the Army National
Guard and Army Reserve is 76,164; Navy Reserve, 6,699;
Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, 14,964; Marine
Corps Reserve, 4,399; and the Coast Guard Reserve,
782. This brings the total National Guard and Reserve per-
sonnel who have been activated to 103,008, including both
units and individual augmentees.

Sometime in the next several days, CNNF resource special-
ists will be able to get a good assessment of the damage
caused in the grow areas. This type of illegal activity can
render the land and water unproductive and possibly unus-
able. The scope of damage will become apparent as CNNF
employees begin to mitigate and monitor the sites.
As restoration begins the health and safety of the public and
Forest Service employees is the top priority. “We will con-
tinue to have a law enforcement presence in these areas as
we get in and begin clean-up and restoration efforts. These
grow sites are off the beaten path as growers choose areas
that are far from where people travel, they are also still con-
sidered crime scenes so we want to discourage the public
from trying to enter these areas.” said District Ranger, Jeff
Seefeldt.
Funding for the cleanup of drug cultivation sites comes
through a 2010 Appropriations Bill. Prioritization of site
cleanup is being coordinated to address the sites with the
greatest damage first. Long term monitoring of the restora-
tion efforts will be needed to assure all the damage has been
remediated.

Woznicki (D-Florence) spoke at

the Oconto County Dems Picnic
Anne Woznicki (D-Florence) spoke
at the Oconto County Dems Picnic
on August 15 about why she, a wife
and mother of four, would want to
run for office in such trying times.
Anne is vying for the 36th Assembly
District seat currently held by Jeff
Mursau (R-Crivitz). Anne seems to be
part of a growing number of people
who are willing to put their words
into action by becoming involved in
the political process.
“I am running because I think we need someone in Madison who is
going to actually get something done for our area,” she said. “My
opponent has had six years in the Assembly, and to put it simply, he
has not been effective. My position is that we need a much
stronger voice in Madison to show that we do exist, we do pay
taxes, and we do want more of a voice in determining our destiny. I
believe we must fight to preserve all that’s good about our North-
woods lifestyle while building a stronger future through job crea-
tion, fiscal responsibility, and delivery of quality education to our

Movie Review
With their country weakened from decades of war, em-
Sept 21st
battled from the ineffective rule of the new king and
vulnerable to insurgencies from within and threats from
afar, Robin and his men heed a call to ever greater ad-
venture. This unlikeliest of heroes and his allies set off
to protect their country from slipping into bloody civil
war and return glory to England once more. Rated PG-
13 for violence including intense sequences of war-
fare, and some sexual content
In “Iron Man 2,” the world is aware that billionaire in-
Sept. 28th ventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is the armored
Super Hero Iron Man. Under pressure from the govern-
ment, the press and the public to share his technology
with the military, Tony is unwilling to divulge the se-
crets behind the Iron Man armor because he fears the
information will slip into the wrong hands. With Pepper
Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and James “Rhodey” Rhodes
(Don Cheadle) at his side, Tony forges new alliances
and confronts powerful new forces. Rated PG-13 for
sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence, and
some language. 117 Minutes
