Heroes of the US Military Submitted by the Forest & Monthly Editorial Team
s a child growing up in the School District of Maple, I was made aware of a young man from Poplar named Richard I Bong who was a famous war hero. In the 4th grade, his sister Gerry (Bong) Fetchelkotter was my teacher. Many a time she sat before the class sharing memories of his growing up in Poplar on the family farm and his service as a military fighter pilot in WW2. She shared the ordinary life on a farm, sibling antics, and more. The class would be hushed as she shared her memories and the tears we saw sometimes falling from eyes. The Poplar School became a Richard I Bong Memorial site a P38 plane on pylons outside. An entry door to the school next to the plane accessed a room with a glass display case on one wall and items belonging to Bong and other memorabilia of the many honors and medals he received. Poplar School where the P38 plane was mounted on pylons. Early 2000 plane was removed for restoration and moved to the present Richard I Bong Veterans Memorial at 305 Harbor View Parkway, Superior, WI
northern African desert theater in Operation Torch with allied soldiers to rout Nazi Commander’s Rommel forces. While he survived the war, he was killed not long after he returned home from duty in a car accident. I remember seeing a large packet of letters, photos, and newspaper clipping in my Dad’s file cabinet all about Uncle Jerry. I never remembered him but my elder sister had memories of him. Sometimes if we asked for stories about Uncle Jerry, I could see my Dad’s eyes water.
It’s funny, but in my mind WW2 was represented to me by two heroes. Richard I Bong War Ace and my Uncle Jerry who I never got to really know. Then came the Korean War and my mom’s cousins were veterans who shared their stories in photos they’d taken overseas. In my baby boomer generation came Vietnam, and I watched classmates enter the service and some lost their lives. And I remember how Vietnam soldiers came home to a country who were less than accepting of the valor. My son and friends from high school were present for the Arab war and There was a sense as we played on the playgrounds we could also access now subsequent Mid-East Conflicts. this hero readily.

RECOGNITION OF AREA VETERANS
I
Recognition of Area Veterans Who Served Valiantly Submitted by the Forest & Monthly Editorial Team
n the spirit of Thanksgiving, Forest & Lakes Monthly is extending our thanks to the men and women who have and are serving to preserve the nation we live in. Men and women selflessly continue to make their commitment to our country through the various branches of service homeland and overseas. They continue to enlist whether peaceful conditions or conflicts emerge. Many are stationed overseas at various allied posts around the world. Some serve in Navy, Army, Marine, Air Force, National Guard Units, Coast Guard, and our military branches national security. Our gratitude for these soldiers must also extend to their parents, spouses, children, and friends. It is not an easy adjustment to have a spouse leave for the military and even harder when called into combat. Parents, spouses, and children are affected daily as special events are missed, and the constant worry of their loved one’s safety. In addition to thanking our military men and women, it is equally important that we offer our support for them through the many programs post military, as many come back to civilian life with injuries physically and emotionally. It is a difficult transition at best to diffuse the constant alertness of combat duty to home life. There are many programs through the VA and other organizations offering support to help veterans transition, heal, and recover. Gratitude must also be extended to the VFW’s and American Legions active in the area. These organizations offer a special comradery for each other, and are always in need of community support to serve the veterans with their programs. So, on November 11 Veteran’s Day, let Veterans know they are remembered with the flying of the flag from your porch, a note of thanks to the Veteran/s you know in your community, helping out a family with a member serving active duty, or by any means you know will make a difference. This month, we have chosen a member of the military representing conflicts in war. In a future edition, we will be featuring the three living WW2 veterans from Cable, WI. Jack Kramer, Paul, Regorrah, and Metro Maznio, Jr. Following are the veterans representing service overseas and stateside.

HISTORICAL PRESERVATION
Preserving the Legacies of the Past in Our Local Museums Submitted by the Forest & Monthly Editorial Team One of the valuable resources in this region, is the rich history that abounds in many of the local communities. Volunteers, who have a love of preserving artifacts of the past and the stories left behind in diaries, public records, newspapers, and through family stories passed from generation to generation are gathered into local archives and displays in local museums. While these museums are not grandiose structures, they are buildings from the past often used as businesses, homesteads, and farms that have been restored to reflect the era and culture of the past. These museums offer residents, schools, and visitors an opportunity to reflect on the conditions of past generations to modern times. One is pleasantly surprised as stories unfold of the creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness to live without the modern conveniences our generation has become so used to. As we consider the Thanksgiving Season, let us remember to extend gratitude to the men and women of the area for their contribution in creating local museums for all to learn from and enjoy. Each of these locations depend on the generosity of local volunteers and contributions to keep the valuable history and artifacts available for public display, educational opportunities, and other activities. Here is a list of area museums and contact information.

Tech Talk
Tech Talk - The Dyn Heard Around the World Submitted by Dr. Leo Carlson, Business & Technology Manager at Norvado On 10/21/2016 a company that not many people ever hear of called Dyn was hit with a Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack and suddenly, everyone knew who Dyn was. Dyn is a company that, among other services, provides Dynamic Name System (DNS) names to various websites and equipment. Because of their DNS service many smaller companies and Internet Service Providers (ISP) use them as an authoritative name provider. This means that when a server receives a request for a certain website, say test.com, an authoritative provider is used to look up the actual location or IP address of the website. Without this information, unless you know the actual IP address of the site you want to access, you are going to get nowhere on the internet.

The purpose of a DDOS attack is to stop a person or provider from doing business, and as seen by the Dyn attack, they can be very effective. A DDOS attack works something like this, think about a freeway where thousands of cars travel smoothly day in and day out. Now, picture that same freeway if the thousands of cars increased to ten thousand and then to one hundred thousand and then again to a million. The freeway would essentially shut down because they could no longer handle the traffic, that is pretty much what happened to Dyn.

In Dyn’s case the attackers used what is called a Botnet or a very large number of computers that are infected with a certain kind of malware that allows them to be used to send traffic to a computer or server. By itself one computer could do nothing but if you add 1,000 of them all sending traffic to one location, you have yourself a botnet. In the case of Dyn, the botnet was made up of tens of thousands of devices, and many of these devices were Internet of Things (IoT) devices like internet accessible security cameras and other “smart” devices. The scale of the attack and the use of IoT (Internet of Things) devices was just a couple of the things that made this attack significant and that has brought the name of Dyn, a company that, though critical to the internet, very few people had ever heard of to the to the tip of many people’s tongues.

CAR CARE WITH SPARKY
Car Care with Sparky - Tire Technology Submitted by Bill Kokan owner of Bills Garage in Drummond
photo courtesy of pantherbb.com
Tire technology has gone through quite a transition in the last 25 years, trying to keep up with the suspension and handling characteristics of todays cars and light trucks. Exactly what is a radial tire and how does it work? A radial tire is constructed differently. Rather than diagonal nylon plies that meet in the center line, it’s made with polyester cords that run perpendicular from bead to bead, up over the face of the tire and down each sidewall. In other words, it’s wrapped at a right angle to the direction of the tread. On the surface of the tire over this polyester wrap, is a belt that runs below the tread. The belt is nearly the width of the tire and runs the circumference. This gives the tire a squared off look. Though belts used to be made of rubber coated fibers, nearly all belts today are made from steel fibers, hence the name, “steel belted radial”. This belt helps stabilize the tread, reducing wear. Because of the construction of a radial tire, the sidewall will always have a bulge at the point of contact with the road and looks like it’s low on air. P205/65R15 - What? Understanding the designations on the side of the tire, let’s take P205/65R15 as an example. P stands for passenger; LT would stand for light truck; 205 indicates the width in millimeters; 65 refers to the aspect ration, or how tall the tire is compared to how wide it is; R stands for radial; and 15 stands for the diameter of the rim in inches.

Where to all of the tires go? You might be surprised... Some 290 million scrap tires are generated in the United States each year, according to the EPA. Most of them used to end up in landfills, but now, they have found all kinds of alternative uses for old tires. According to the EPA, 45% of all scrap tires are now incinerated, whole or shredded, as fuel for power plants. Tire rubber contains approximately the same energy as oil and fewer toxins than coal. Another use for tires is crumb rubber. The tires are ground and shredded and added to asphalt for new road construction. They’re also far superior to the old wood and creosot tires that we’re all familiar with. Rubber tires have been around for a long times, and will continue for a long time to come, so please dispose of them properly. Thanks, and drive safe, Sparky Forest & Lakes Monthly November 2016 p. 9

PASTOR’S CORNER
Pastor’s Corner - Is There Anything to be Thankful for? Submitted by Pastor Phil Markel of Calvary Baptist Church in Hayward, WI Almost everyone would say, “Sure, I am thankful! I’m thankful for my health, my family, my job, etc.” There are so many things to be thankful for. Everyone has something that they can rejoice in. But, as we approach this Thanksgiving season, I wonder, how many will be able to say, “I thank God for saving my soul.” The Bible tells us in II Corinthians 9:15, “Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift.” God’s love gift to each of us is the person of Jesus Christ. The Son of God died on Calvary’s Cross to pay the penalty that a Holy God demanded for my sin and yours (See Romans 6:23); repent (turn from sin) and receive Christ into your heart, in order to have the hope of everlasting life in Heaven someday (See Luke 13:3-5; John 1:12, Romans 10:9-13). Yes, this can be your first Thanksgiving in which you can thank the God of the Bible for His abundant provisions in your life, both in the realm of the material and in the saving of your soul. I trust that this Thanksgiving you’ll be able to say: Thank you Lord, for saving my soul, Thank you Lord, for making me whole, Thank you Lord, for giving to me, Thy Great Salvation so rich and free. Pastor Phil Markel is the Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Hayward , WI. 13713 W. Thannum Fire Lane, Hayward, WI. Service times on Sunday are Sunday School at 9:00am and Worship service at 10:00am. Children’s church is available for children ages 4-10, and nursery for children ages 0-3.

NATURAL CONNECTIONS
Natural Connections with Emily Stone - Jack Pine Submitted by Emily Stone, a Naturalist/Education Director at the Cable Natural History Museum A fleeting sunset flamed through a ragged stand of jack pines across our bay on Lake Two. Patchy clouds provided just substrate enough to catch the color, and the faint breeze barely ruffled their reflection on the lake. Here, on a classic rock knob campsite in the Boundary Waters, we perched above a scene of rugged beauty. As it turns out, we were also perched on the border of the legendary Pagami Creek Fire. First detected on August 18, 2011, the smoldering burn stayed within a bog for days. When the relative humidity plummeted to 18% and a north wind picked up on August 26, the fire roared to life and swept through the forest’s crown. By November it had burned 93,000 acres, and sent smoke all the way to Russia. To protect the extremely popular, highly visited landscape of Lakes One and Two, the Forest Service completed a “burn out” operation between the fire and those lakes. Looking at the maps, it’s quite likely that our view was part of the burn out, and our peninsula campsite was somewhat protected by their efforts. The point on the north side of the bay, now glowing with the sun’s last rays, was also spared. Its grove of jack pines are a respectable uniform height. While jack pines always look a little disheveled (like “something the cat dragged in,” joked my friend when helping us learn pine identification), at least these still had needles. To the south, the skeletons of burned jack pines shimmered on the glassy lake, and the remains of their scraggly crowns scratched the sunset clouds at the same height as their more fortunate neighbors. Both stands probably started their lives after a past crown fire burned through an even older jack pine forest—although, with jack pines, it might be a little harder to tell if the burned or unburned half of the forest is more fortunate. The unburned forest is getting up there in years, and has attained the average maximum height for jack pines of about 60 feet. Jack pines mature quickly, and maximum cone production begins at about age 20. The canopy shows signs of decay at only 75 years old. And while individual trees will survive up to 200 years (the oldest known jack pine was 243 years old, found in the Boundary Waters!), there isn’t much hope for a second generation of sun-loving jack pine seedlings under the stifling shade of the adults. The charred skeleton of the forest is actually brimming with life. A thick carpet of 5-year-old jack pine seedlings, with a few aspen and birch mixed in, promises a bright future.
“in storage” on the tree for several decades. During their extended residence, the resin protects against seed predators like crossbills and squirrels, who make short work of the nutritious seeds in the cones of other species. When a fire rips through the forest, the resin ignites at a low temperature, and this relatively cool flame (only 112 degrees Fahrenheit!) helps prevent serious damage. The resin is stored in reservoirs within the cone, but only burns after it has travelled down a duct to the tip of the scale and encounters oxygen there, outside the cone. Inside, corky material on the cone scales provides insulation for the seeds. The temperature gradient created from the outside-in causes the scales to curl back and open the cone like a flower. In fact, as our small campfire—composed mostly of jack pine twigs laden with tightly closed cones—crackled softly against the descending dusk, we watched in delight as the cones slowly “bloomed.” Just that series of events is amazing enough, but jack pine’s cones go even further in their Rube Goldberg machine of adaptations. Although the cones open while the fire is still hot, the seeds stay safely stuck in the warm, gooey resin instead of dropping into an inferno. Only once the resin cools, shrinks, and cracks, do the seeds drop out—onto fresh, habitable soil. What’s more, jack pines in fire-dominated areas produce almost entirely cones that open only with fire, while jack pines in the southern part of their range or on islands where fire is less prevalent, are adapted to opening just from the heat of the sun (a good thing, or else they might never open). Sure, there is beauty in a colorful sunset “flaming” through the forest, but there is also beauty in the dance of fire, seeds, death, and rebirth when those flames are real.
Jack pine is uniquely attuned to fire. Almost every burn that enters a jack pine stand will climb up the dry ladder of dead lower branches and become a stand-killing crown fire that provides seeds with full sunlight and a dose of fertilizing ash for expeditious growth. Flaky bark and resinous needles urge the fire on. In contrast, red and white pines self-prune their lower branches and grow thick, corky bark to prevent fires from crowning. They’re adapted to ground fires, which clear out competition, but allow old trees to thrive. The key to jack pine’s dependence on fire, though, is its serotinous cones. Rather than referring to the sticky resin that glues the cones shut, serotiny simply means the trait of delayed seed release. Jack pine achieves this with a satisfying series of tricks. First, the cones are glued tightly shut with resin, and may remain Forest & Lakes Monthly November 2016 p. 12

ASK A MASTER GARDENER
Ask a Master Gardener with Marianne Mueller -Downy Skullcap Submitted by Marianne Mueller, Master Gardener and owner of M&M Greenhouse Arlyn introduced Hoary Skullcap to the greenhouse this spring. Its name sounded like some kind of Halloween freak show to me, and I decided that I would wait a year, see if it bloomed, and check out what it looked like before promoting the plant. So, I would look skeptically at the flat when in its neighborhood. In mid-summer, much to my surprise, I thought I saw some buds forming toward the tops of the stems – sure enough, unlike many perennial plants, this one was going to bloom the first year from seed! A good sign, but I was still going to reserve judgment until the buds opened, and I could really see what it was going to do – I mean, seriously, with a name like Hoary Skullcap, how much can a person expect? What I learned was a variation on a theme that I constantly remind my students of…you don’t judge a book by its cover, and likewise, I mustn’t judge a wildflower by its name! This perennial member of the mint family will grow 2-3 feet tall, with few branches, except near the top. The central stem is strongly erect, whitish green, bluntly square, and covered with short, fine hair. Leaves are opposite on the stem, about 3” long and 1 ½” wide, lance shaped with bluntly toothed edges. The top of the leaf is pale to medium or yellowish green and pretty much smooth while the underside is whitish green and covered with the same fine, short hair as the stem. The plant will begin to bloom in mid-late summer and will continue blooming for a month to a month and a half. A flower spike up to 6” long forms at the tops of the square stems. These upright spikes are densely packed with pairs of flowers. Each flower has a two-lipped tubular blossom about ¾” long rising from a short tubular base. The upper lip is hood-like with edges that are curled back, while the lower lip is broader and quite a bit larger.

The color will range from deep to light purple, with a conspicuous patch of white nestled in at the throat of the lower lip. Very fine hair covers the outer surface of each flower, not sticky, but soft and downy. As almost the entire plant (with the exception of the upper leaf surface) is covered with this soft, short hair, it is also known as …wait for it… Downy Skullcap.
In fall, the blooms are replaced with whimsical purplish red seedpods; each pod will contain 2-4 nutlets. The root system contains rhizomes, and may form tight colonies of plants. Downy Skullcap prefers part shade but will do fine in a full range of light conditions from full sun to deep shade. It is also accommodating as to soil; it prefers slightly acidic conditions, does best in dryish sandy or clay soils, but is easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil. The plant is pollinated primarily by bumblebees, which suck nectar or collect pollen. The foliage is bitter-tasting and possibly toxic, so deer don’t bother it to any significant degree. I am changing my plant tags to read Downy Skullcap, a name more suited to this elegant, showy plant of refined growth and leafage. It’s good in wildflower gardens, native plant gardens, open woodland areas, or perennial borders. Looking somewhat like a restrained version of foxglove, Downy Skullcap can be a highly ornamental, interesting and attractive addition to your flower pallet.

VET’S CORNER
Vet’sSubmitted Corner - Getting Your Pet to the Vet by Dr. Monica Barilla of Northstar Veterinary Clinic in Iron River, WI Many pets are anxious and apprehensive at the veterinary clinic and often for good reason! After all, the experience often involves painful injections or other procedures. The sounds and smells at the clinic and the staff working there often seem alarming to your pet. They may come in contact with other animals during their visit which can also be scary. As a pet owner, you may feel like you have very little control over what happens to your pet during its visit. However, there are steps you can take to reduce the anxiety involved in actually getting to the clinic as well as the stress involved with the visit itself. Tips for your cat: A cat should always travel in a carrier and ideally that carrier is out all the time as a part of your furnishings. If that isn’t possible or practical, take it out at least a week prior to your appointment. Place it in a room where your cat spends a lot of time and prop the door open so she can go in and out. Place some soft bedding inside and try feeding your cat there as well. Periodically place some treats, toys and catnip in the carrier. Apply Feliway to the inside of the carrier daily using a spray or wipe. Feliway is a product containing a pheromone (scent chemical) that reassures your cat and makes him feel safe. Feliway is available at many veterinary clinics, pet stores or online. On the day of your appointment, apply Feliway to the carrier at least 10 minutes prior to placing your cat inside. Also apply it to a towel that you will drape over the carrier to help block visual stimuli. Try placing a treat in the carrier to encourage your cat to enter it on her own. If she doesn’t enter the carrier, remove the top, place her in the bottom and replace the top portion. Place the towel over the carrier and leave it in place until they are ready for you at your clinic. Check with your veterinarian prior to the visit to see if putting a treat in the carrier is ok depending on the reason for the visit. Generally, it is a good idea to bring your cat to the Vet on an empty stomach to encourage them to take treats from the staff as a reward during their visit. When you leave the clinic, recover the carrier with the towel and leave in place until you get home. If you have multiple cats, leave the returning cat in the carrier for a few minutes to see how the others will react. If all seems well, let the cat out of the carrier and be ready with treats and affection as he exits the carrier to associate good things with the carrier and the car ride. If you have a new kitten, acclimate the kitten to the crate and the car by going on brief car trips and even doing “fake veterinary visits” as described below. Tips for your dog: Dogs should be acclimated to riding in cars as puppies with many brief car trips, even around the block at first, to condition them to the sounds and motions. Adult dogs can also be habituated to riding in cars using the same techniques as we do in puppies. Dogs should ride in a crate or carrier for their safety in the vehicle as well as to decrease anxiety. The crate should be covered with a towel or sheet sprayed with Adaptil. Adaptil is a synthetic copy of the natural pheromone that mother dogs secrete after puppies are born. This pheromone helps puppies feel reassured and secure and adult dogs recognize this pheromone and feel safe and secure as well. Some type of restraint system can also be used if unable or unwilling to have your dog ride in a crate or carrier. There are many “car seat” and seat belt devices on the market for dogs that work in most vehicles. In general, it is a good idea to take your dog to the vet on an empty stomach so he is also receptive to treats during his exam and any procedures. Your veterinary clinic should have them on hand and be using them during the visit unless it is medically advised against. Bring your own tasty treats and give plenty of them if need be, again unless advised not to due to a medical concern or procedure. You can also use a toy or a ball as a distraction device during the visit. Be sure to bring your dog in and out of the building using a leash that is 4 to 6 feet in length. Flexi leashes are not advised for use during a veterinary visit. Your dog can become tangled around another dog or another person in the waiting area and this is very stressful and possibly dangerous to the dogs and the owners. Check with your veterinary clinic about bringing your dog on “fake visits” to acclimate him or her to the clinic. Then take your dog in, get them used to stepping on and off the platform scale and do some obedience exercises in the waiting room. Have staff come and give a treat if they are able and available. Keep it brief and fun and then leave without any procedure happening. Your dog will learn that “going to the vet” isn’t all bad! Forest & Lakes Monthly November 2016 p. 16
