The event is set for Saturday, January 24th, registration at noon, racing at 1. The time has come to get to work making your sleds and rigging up your shovels! Mission Hill can be found near the railroad crossing on the east end of Glen Street. The competitions are open to all ages. There is a $5 entry fee and prizes for each competition. Both the homemade sled race and shovel race will have two age categories, 12 and younger and 13 and older. Participants should arrive at noon to register for the races. The rules of the Homemade Sled Race prohibit any sort of factory-made sled or any sled with a motor. Each sled must have at least one occupant, but cannot have more than two. Every sled should also be fit for multiple runs. We are hoping to have radar runs again this year with the help of our esteemed Crandon Police Department. There will also be a category for Forest County’s Fastest Sled. Also, this year we will have consolation trophies for multiple categories including: “Most Creative Sled”, “Fastest Looking Sled”, “Deathtrap”, etc. During the races everyone is invited to enjoy the bonfire, hot chocolate, and hot dog roast. The extended forecast looks to be beautiful weather! Bring your own chair. If you have any questions or need further information, please call Micah at (715)478-2730. Health agency urges residents to fight the spread of influenza and other illnesses Health Officials Urge Residents to Stay Home If They're Sick Madison,Wisconsin is experiencing an especially bad influenza season, and the state Department of Health Services (DHS) is urging people who may have the flu, or other illnesses, to stay home from work or school to avoid spreading sickness. "People may think they're being tough and responsible by showing up at work or school when they aren't feeling well, but the fact is they're doing their coworkers or classmates a disservice by potentially spreading an illness to others," said Karen McKeown, State Health Officer. People over the age of 65 have been especially hard-hit this influenza season, and DHS also urges state residents to avoid visiting elderly family, friends, or anyone in a long-term care facility, such as a nursing home, if they are under the weather. "We also want to stress that it's never too late to get a flu shot, and we encourage anyone who hasn't done so to get vaccinated as soon as they can," McKeown Continued on page 18 Free Personal Classifieds Through January 2015 in the Pioneer Express!

Update from Forest County Forestry and Recreation Committee By Boyd Monte The Forest County Forestry and Recreation Committee met last Monday, January 12 at 4:00 p.m. in the County Board Room of the Forest County Courthouse. The amendments to the 15 year Comprehensive Land Use Plan that do not concern the possible MRA park are to go to the full county board for approval. The amendments to the plan that concern the park can be brought to the full board at a later date. Checks were sent to the three towns that have county forest on their land. They are Crandon, Lincoln and Nashville. Ten percent of the money made by timber sales goes back to the towns. The amount depends on the acreage of county forest that each town has and what the total sales amounted to. This year the 10 percent is around $32,000.00. There was also a resolution to purchase a 40 acre block of land. The BCPL Block was approved for purchase. There is a Knowles Nelson Stewardship grant that will pay for half of this land. The final item on the agenda is a the building of a new managers cabin on the Veteran’s Memorial Park and Campground on the south side of Lake Metonga. The project was budgeted and the county is getting ready to advertise for bids in the coming weeks. The county is making final adjustments to the blueprints and then will ask for bids. The next forestry meeting will be held at 4:00 p.m. in the county board room in the courthouse. Don't miss the Pioneer Express!

There were always "good deals" awaiting her pocketbook. This passion lives on in her daughter and granddaughters. Although born and raised in Japan, her life took on excitement and adventure with her best friend and partner, "Jimmy", with her life journey here in the United States.

WORVPI hasn't answered the Forest County Forestry Department After WORVPI's requested changes to the Forest County 15 year forestry plan , John Schnoor , Melinda Otto, and Jack Matuszewski, along with the WORVPI board have not responded to a few basic and generic questions put forth to them in the following letter. Submitted by Steve Bunda Wisconsin Off-Road Vehicle Park Inc. John Schnorr PO Box 321 Crandon, WI 54520 Dear WORVPI Members: This letter is intended to summarize actions and request additional information from the meeting held on December 9, 2014, between WORVPI and the Forestry and Recreation Committee-MRA Park Sub-Committee. Our Forestry Department contacted Melinda Otto on December 10, 2014, via telephone, to select the next meeting date in January 2015. Potential meeting dates for January include the 5th, 6th, 13th, 19th, 20th, 26th and 27th. Please contact us as soon as possible so we may schedule our next meeting. After discussion with Forest County Corporation Council, Department of Natural Resources, Forestry and Recreation Committee-MRA Park Sub-Committee it was agreed that WORVPI would provide additional information to Forest County so we may begin to develop an amendment to the Forest County Forest Comprehensive Land Use Plan to consider the development of an MRA Park. It was requested that this information be provided at least one week before our January meeting to allow time for the County staff to review the proposal. The information requested should be part of an MRA Park Plan which will contain, at a minimum, the following: 1. General a. A definition of the Forest County MRA Park. b. Define the acceptable uses of the MRA Park. c. Define the prohibited uses of the MRA Park. d. Provide a fee schedule for motorized and nonmotorized users. e. Location and size of the MRA Park (total project size and each phase). f. Will park users need to be a member of WORVPI or other groups/organizations? 2. Business Relationship a. How will revenue be disbursed for administration, maintenance, development and profits? b. What is the proposed business relationship between Forest County and WORVPI? c. What type of business is WORVPI? 3. Road Use Plan a. What types and lengths of roads and trails will be developed in each phase for the MRA Park? b. What is the proposed funding source and maintenance schedule for roads and trails? c. What would the design and maintenance specifications be for proposed trails? (e.g.) width, materials, culvert needs, wetland or stream crossings, permits expected maintenance activities and schedules, trail standards? d. How will seasonal vehicle usage be regulated to prevent environmental damage? e. Are there additional development plans outside the campground area? f. Desired closure criteria for seasonal, weather and forest management activities. This list should not be considered all inclusive and additional information will most likely be required before it can be fully determined if an MRA Park is compatible with the County Forest Law. However, we believe this information will be useful as we move forward in the amending the 15 Year Comprehensive Land Use Plan. We have enclosed the current soil disturbance and rutting policy found in our timber sale contract as well as manuals for Best Management Practices for Water Quality and Invasive Species. The manual for invasive species is available at www.wisconsinforestry.org. The manual for w a t e r q u a l i t y i s a v a i l a b l e a t http://dnr.wi.gov/files/pdf/pubs/fr/FR0093.pdf. Lastly, to keep these meetings as productive as possible we request you bring all items such as the feasibility study, maps, appraisal and any other resources that may help you answer additional questions.

Continuous stress can cause a cycle of fatigue and muscle tension, further stressing your mind and body. A primary target is your back. Chronic stress and depression have been linked to back strain that leads to chronic pain and disability. Some research suggests that many cases of chronic back and neck pain may result from nervous tension, which temporarily constricts blood vessels, reducing oxygen to the cells. Best solutions for reducing stress-related back pain: • Be aware of when you feel especially stressed. Find relief before your emotional tension affects your back -change activities, exercise or meditate. • Fit in daily physical activity. In particular, aerobic workouts can reduce depression, relieve stress and strengthen your back muscles. • Modify your repetitive tasks. If your work is sedentary, do as many task as possible standing up to break up muscle tension; take stretching and walking breaks. • Watch your posture. Avoid slouching and hunching forward. You don't have to live with back or neck pain. Examine your lifestyle and work environment to find ways to reverse situations that can produce stress and hurt your back.

This winter has not been kind so far, and especially for the animals who are bearing the brunt of it all. Your outside animals need extra nourishment, of course, but they also require plenty of fresh water in order to be able to maintain their body temperature. Please! Snow is NOT a replacement for water. We are fostering a dog right now that came to us not only starved, but severely dehydrated from lack of plain, old, free, water. A heated water bowl is ideal, but replenishing the water several times daily can accomplish the same thing. In our climate, an insulated dog house with bedding is a minimum necessity. As a rule, each animal we take in to foster needs a good cleaning-up and grooming, and thankfully, Nicolet Pet Grooms does that pro bono for us as their donation to the cause. We are keeping ahead of the need for pet food at the food pantry by replenishing the shelves each Monday, but the girls at the pantry are good about keeping us informed if they’re running short before the end of the week. Your pet is a loving, loyal member of your family, whose needs must be met, but if you’re having difficulty meeting those needs, A.R.F. is there to help. For those of you who may still have a pet that has not been spayed or neutered, here is your chance to get that done. The Fix Is In, a high quality, affordable spay/neuter mobile clinic will be in an area near you soon. Antigo – Jan 27 & 28, and Feb 17 & 18. Crandon – Friday, Feb 20. Rhinelander- Jan 16 & Feb 13. To schedule an appointment, call 715-550-7729. You must leave a message with your name, Phone number and a time when you will most likely be at home to receive a return call. They, like us, are all volunteers, so no one is able to sit by a phone all day. They will return your call as soon as they can. Normal prices are: female dog - $100.00, male dog $85.00, female cat $50.00, male cat $40.00. Right now, if you live in one of these zip code areas: 54103, 54511, 54520, 0r 54541, those prices are cut in half. This group has received a grant to help get more animals taken care of, but this money is now running low, so NOW is the time to get in on this incredible deal. These prices include the rabies vaccination, nail trim, and ear cleaning. These schedules are arranged a couple of months in advance, so you have a chance to get in on one that’s nearest you. To access their schedule in the future, go to http://the-fix-is-in.org/ or you may call me for dates if you do not have internet. The family of five kittens that I mentioned in our last news are being spayed/neutered at the Antigo Fix Is In clinic, so they will be adoptable the first part of Feb. Adoption papers have been received for three of the five, but if you’re considering a kitten, give us a call – 715-4782398 (me) or 715-478-3190 (foster parents) to apply.

Cont. from pg. 1 added. "Even though this year's flu shot is not as good a match as it has been in most other years, it still can reduce the severity of flu symptoms among those who get the flu, and reduce rates of hospitalization and death." Influenza is a contagious disease that infects the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs). Symptoms can come on suddenly with fever, headache, tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, and body aches. The illness can be mild to severe, and can sometimes lead to death. Nearly 3,000 people have been hospitalized with laboratory confirmed influenza in Wisconsin this season. Of those who have been hospitalized, 72 percent are over age 65. In addition to influenza, Wisconsin has also seen an increase in cases of pertussis (whooping cough), and in outbreaks caused by norovirus. Symptoms of norovirus infection typically include nausea, stomach cramping, vomiting, and diarrhea. Norovirus infection is often mistakenly referred to as "stomach flu," but is unrelated to influenza. Along with staying home when sick, DHS urges residents to avoid illnesses through frequent and thorough hand washing, covering the nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, eating nutritious food, exercising, and getting enough rest.

Ask Your Insurance Professional Ed Smith INSURANCE TIP FROZEN PIPES If you have homeowners form 3 coverage, you have coverage for sudden and accidental bursting of pipes.

Senator Cruz Makes Good on Packers vs. Cowboys Wager WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) made good on a friendly wager with U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) after the Green Bay Packers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 26-21 in the NFL Second Round Playoffs on Sunday, January 11, 2015. Senator Cruz graciously treated Senator Baldwin to Blue Bell ice cream and Shiner Bock beer. “The Packers have left few to question who really holds the title of ‘America’s Team,’” said Senator Baldwin. “I appreciate Senator Cruz’s courage to bet against the Packers, and his generosity in defeat. If he’s looking for a hug I hear there’s a Cowboy fan in New Jersey who needs one too.” CUSTOM PRINTING Envelopes • Business Cards Raffle Tickets • Posters Letterheads Carbonless Business Forms & More Parsons Pioneer Express 715-478-3640 "Your Hometown Dealer Since 1985" Hwy 8 East, Crandon, across from Pioneer Plaza 715-478-2850 or 1-800-353-5932 OF CRANDON January Blowout Sale Look who’s showing Cardinal PRIDE at Crandon Elementary 2013 Buick Regal 2012 Chev Equinox LT AWD Now $17,900 or $273/mo* Now $21,900 or $334/mo* Was $20,995 *72 payments @ 2.99% APR Was $23,995 *72 payments @ 2.99% APR Trent McGeshick, Aaliyah Frank, Karley Ginter, Samara Kane, Leroy Douyette, Stewie Daniels and Klaira Collins were drawn to represent the many elementary students who were showing Cardinal PRIDE.
