December 2010 • Lake Country SNAPSHOTS 3

See you in the spring Holiday decorations were just starting to show up as we prepared to go to press with the last Lake Country Snapshot issue for 2010.

Not to worry — after our own winter hibernation, we’ll be back in late April with our May 2011 issue.

Of course, that doesn’t mean Adams, Juneau and south Wood county residents will be sleeping the winter away.

Just one glance at the calendar in this issue, and readers can see the bevy of events and activities set for the next

Reader’s

few months.

There are sports events, community gatherings, and outdoor activities.

Take pictures of your holiday gatherings and share them with others in our spring issue.

Are you an outdoors person? Catch a shot of the first good

snowfall, your ski or snowmobile outing — or the family having fun in the snow.

If you aren’t the outdoors type, but want to fight off the winter doldrums, take part of bunco or join the Rome Woodcarvers. The groups meet at the Rome

municipal building every week.

If you are an avid reader, why not send us a review of a book you’ve read on a cold, blustery, winter night.

Send us those pictures and articles for publication in the May issue.

In the meantime,

have a wonderful holiday season with family and friends.

Stay warm, stay safe, stay happy.

See you in the spring.

There are several choices of ethnic foods such as the new European Deli, a pizzeria that offers dining or home delivery and Chinese Cuisine to add a variety to your pallet.

Rome pride reflected in new memorial

By Deb Cleworth For Lake Country Snapshots ROME — June Brain’s image was reflected on the back of the new Rome Veterans Memorial on Nov. 11 as she found her husband’s name.

“My husband flew in W.W. II,” Brain said, her finger running over the engraved letters.

The Vete r a n s Day ceremony at Spring Branch cemetery in Rome w a s short, but the dedication of the new R o m e Veterans Memorial represented years of work from the Rome cemetery committee.

“I think it’s beautiful, absolutely beautiful,” said Avis Graumann of Rome. “This is just awesome.”

As Graumann walked around the memorial, she said her husband, William, also present at the event, fought in Korea, and the couple has two sons in the service.

About 175 people turned out for the ceremony and dedication. Flags from the military branches, lining the road in front in the memorial, fluttered in the cool breeze as Rome Board Chairman Phil McLaughlin read a compilation of speeches throughout time.

“We bless this memorial for the

action our veterans have taken,” said the Rev. Stanley Kwiencien of Woodland Lutheran Church, Rome.

“The Lord’s Prayer” is engraved into the memorial.

“There was not one bit of discussion about having the (prayer) in the center,” said Mary Krenz, a Rome cemetery committee member.

The cemetery is the resting place for many veterans, many designated by a small American flag in honor of Veterans Day. “We thought there should be a main point,” Krenz said. “(It would be) more meaningful for the veterans.”

After the Cub Scouts from Nekoosa Pack 174 color guard laid a wreath at the front of the memorial, Pat Paulus read “A Veterans Day Tribute” by Joanna Fuchs.

“This (poem) just seemed to speak to me,” Paulus said. “It said everything I felt.”

American Legion Post No. 6, Wisconsin Rapids, presented a 21-gun salute and Russ Reinhart sounded taps to conclude the ceremony.

Ron Fregien of Rome, and commander of American Legion Post No. 6 gave the fall-out command to the Legion honor guard and thanked the crowd before the gathering went to the Rome municipal building for lunch, introduction of veterans and entertainment.

“I really appreciate the fact so many of our citizens turned out for this dedication and the Veterans service,” Fregien said. “Very nice, very touching, and again, thank you all for coming.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Fregien said about the memorial. “It was a lot of work for the committee. I’m very glad they got it. It’s a beautiful memorial.”

Skills training included methods of computing target locations using computers or manual calculations, ammunition handling techniques, and operating and performing maintenance on related equipment, vehicles, generators, and artillery tactical and data systems.

• Michael J. Schumer graduated from the Army ROTC Leader Development and Assessment Course, also known as “Operation Warrior Forge,” at Fort Lewis, Tacoma, Wash.

The 32 days of training provide the best possible professional training and evaluation for all cadets in the aspects of military life, administration and logistical support. Although continued military training and leadership development is included in the curriculum, the primary focus of the course is to develop and evaluate each cadet’s officer potential as a leader by exercising the cadet’s intelligence, common sense, ingenuity and physical stamina. The cadet command assesses each cadet’s performance and progress in officer traits, qualities and professionalism while attending the course.

Cadets in their junior and senior year of college must complete the leadership development course. Upon successful completion of the course, the ROTC program, and graduation from college, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army, National Guard, or Reserve.

Schumer is the son of Virginia A. Hodal of 18th Ave., Necedah, and a 2007 graduate of Queen of the Holy Rosary School, Necedah.

Farmers Market ends season on a tasty note We had a wonderful turnout for the last day of the market Sept. 17 at the Alpine Village Business Park.

Mary Bowman, of Lake Arrowhead Clubhouse Restaurant, prepared two wonderfully tasty soups for us. The day was just right for enjoying a warm cup of soup.

Mary shared her tips about preparing soups, not based on any formal training, but rather on the experiences of growing up in a farm family, where whatever was on hand was used.

Mary’s mom often had a batch of soup on the stove.

Someone in the audience asked Mary to relate true story illustrating how she has had opportunities to use “what was on hand.”

Last season at the Arrowhead kitchen, 10 pounds of carrots were mistakenly placed in the freezer rather than the cooler. Rather than throwing them out,

RECIPES Sure to Please!

Mary came up with quite a large batch of cream of carrot soup.

Talk about making lemonade out of lemons.

She finds most of her soups contain three constant ingredients, celery, carrots and onions.

Those three are the beginning of her delicious tomato basil soup, but we could not get the full recipe from her, maybe next time. Mary encouraged the audience to experiment, using various foods to create new twists on existing soup recipes.

Mary shared that many creamed soups can be prepared to be a lighter version by substituting low-fat milk for cream and by using a flour and butter rue to thicken the soup stock.

We have been working on plans for the 2011 Rome Farmers Park.

The season will begin June 10 and will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Friday.

We are planning on add-

ing a feature on the last Friday of each month.

Firewood cutting policy change at Necedah Refuge NECEDAH — As the winter heating season gets underway in the central Wisconsin area, people who heat their homes with wood will be looking for an economical source of firewood.

Necedah National Wildlife Refuge has offered woodcutting by permit within the refuge for over six years. However, the harvest of firewood for personal use has increased and the number of wood cutting permits issued has more than doubled the past two years, according to a press release from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Firewood cutting on the refuge has duel benefit to the local area.

First, it helps the refuge enhance wildlife habitat and reduces the spread of oak wilt to other oak trees. Secondly, it provides a benefit to the public to enjoy the outdoors while offering an alternative fuel for winter heating. Due to the permit demand and condition of habitats on the refuge, the staff wants to best provide for long-term needs and will review and revise this use before 2011 permits are issued in January.

The refuge currently is revising its firewood cutting policy and welcomes public input. The refuge currently is reviewing permitting pro-

grams operated by other public land managers and would also like the public to comment and / or suggest improvement to the firewood cutting policy.

Comments and suggestions can be sent by e-mail to Necedah@ fws.gov or by writing to: Refuge Manager, Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, W7996 20th St. W., Necedah, WI 54646. Comments should be sent by Dec. 10, as the policy review must be completed before the issuance of new permits.

Necedah National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1939 as a refuge to migratory birds and wildlife. The site covers almost 44,000 acres near Necedah and includes oak savanna, wetlands, and pine-oak forests.

The refuge is open sunrise to sunset 365 days a year. The officefrom 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily through November, federal holidays. The office is located off of Highway 21 four miles west of the village of Necedah or 18 miles east of Tomah. Turn north onto Headquarters Road. Follow Headquarters road for two miles and follow signs to the Refuge Office parking lot.

For additional information on the natural and cultural history of Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, go to www. fws.gov/midwest/ necedah.

Adams County youth celebrates

4-H

week

Lake Country Professional Services To Place Your Business in Lake Country Professional Services

The county-wide shooting sports project had everyone working on a service project by building wood duck boxes.

ADAMS — National 4-H Week was celebrated Oct. 3 to 9. The Adams County 4-H groups recognized the week with the annual 4-H Super Saturday event Oct. 9 at the middle school.

In Adams County, more than 200 4-H members and 100 volunteers are involved in 4-H. Many of these members connected with the community by offering a free program to all youth in kindergarten through high school.

Super Saturday is a great way to offer a taste of the 4-H program to the community. Youth were able to gain hands on experiences in a variety of 4-H projects.

“It’s amazing to see the kids eyes light with excitement as they are creating a bird house, crafting a photo frame or making a beautiful piece of jewelry to take home,” said Adams County 4-H volunteer and Super Saturday organizer Karen Bays Mur-

phy. “Our 4-H volunteers and parents that donate their time and talents for that day are terrific.

“I think the instructors end up having as much fun as the kids, which is wonderful to see,” Bays Murphy said. “And a big thank you to the community for the support they give not only to this event, but also to the 4-H program in Adams County.”

4-H is a community where more than 6.5 million young people learn leadership, citizenship and life skills. Learn more about the 4-H adventure at WI4H.org.

Jennifer Swensen is the 4-H youth development agent. To learn how to become a 4-H member or volunteer leader in Adams County, contact Jennifer Swensen, 4-H Youth Development Agent, at University Cooperative Extension, Adams County at 608-339-4237 or 4-H@co.adams.wi.us.
