The November 8 meeting of UNAC (Up North Authors Circle) was held at the Lakewood Library. Featured again this month was
fledgling writer Joe Valitchka, who finished reading his first attempt at fiction: “Hot on the Trail: The Adventures of Lowland Jak.”
Joe’s story is set at Little Maiden Lake, the family cottage and summer home. It introduces as the main character Jak, a feisty beagle
who has a definite nose for trouble. Jak and his sidekick, Huntz, a more laid back but lovable
Schnauzer, find plenty of trouble in this action thriller intended for a tweens to adults audience.
Joe had shared the first part of the story at the October meeting, and he noted that he had been
working hard to incorporate the suggestions offered there by his new UNAC friends. The group’s
reaction to the end of the tale was one of delight, and they again offered lots of great feedback for
Joe to take back to South Carolina, where he plans to spend his winter perfecting his craft.
Group “poet laureate” Dorothy DeVolt ended the meeting by reading a Christmas Poem she calls
“The Jesus Story.” It was the perfect way to end 2010 UNAC and start the yuletide season.
The group is taking December off to celebrate the holidays and will meet again in the new year on
January 12 at 5:00 at the Lakewood Library. New members are always welcome.

Community groups and social organizations often host food drives to fill local food pantry shelves in the fall. By keeping a few sim-
ple tips in mind, you can enhance the value of the food donations you make.
“It’s important to remember that donated food is most helpful if it is both safe and high quality,” says Barbara Ingham, food science
specialist with the University of Wisconsin-Extension.
Make sure to check the dates on packages of foods that you donate, says Ingham. Many packaged items are marked with dates that
indicate freshness. Some examples include:
--Quality or pack dates, often designated on packages by the words "Better if used by...” and a date. Look for these dates on pack-
aged mixes, cold cereals, peanut butter, and increasingly, on canned items like fruits and vegetables. These dates mean that after the
quality date, the food will begin to lose its flavor and may even develop an off flavor. Quality dates are an estimate of how long
foods will remain at their peak quality. Donate only foods that are well within the quality dates marked on the package.
--Expiration dates, such as "Expires 2/15/08" or "Do not use after 7/9/07." Look for these dates on infant formula, vitamins, yeast,
baking powder and cake mixes. Do not donate foods that are past their expiration date.
--Pull dates. Example: "Sell by May 16.” Look for these dates on perishable, refrigerated foods such as milk, yogurt, cottage cheese,
cream, eggs, lunch meat and packaged salad mixes. Perishable foods, with the exception of garden produce, are usually not included
in a food drive. If they are, choose foods that are well within the pull date for best quality.
Besides looking for a date, be sure to check the integrity of the package. To ensure that the food has not been contaminated, donate
only foods from unopened packages. Avoid foods with packaging that shows signs of leakage or damage. Ingham urges consumers
not to donate canned items that have broken seams or large dents.
Can you donate home-canned foods, fresh eggs or produce? Food pantries often welcome donations of fresh garden produce. Home-
canned foods or meat or eggs that have not been handled by licensed food processors should, however, not be donated.
“If you have a question about a proposed donation, contact the food pantry. Staff there will be happy to discuss whether they can
accept or store the donation that you have in mind,” suggests Ingham.
According to Gayle Coleman, nutrition specialist with the University of Wisconsin-Extension, some families are relying more often
on food pantry items to feed themselves. “Your donation
of nutritious food will help these families through what
is for them a very difficult time,” says Coleman.
She suggests avoiding sugary cereals, salty noodle Whole grain, low-sugar cereals such as plain instant oatmeal,
mixes, and fruit-flavored beverages that might be easy whole grain Os, and bran flakes.

Benefits of Walking
You don’t need to become a member of an
expensive gym to go walking. And except
for a good pair of walking shoes, it requires
virtually no equipment.
A sedentary lifestyle has a debilitating influence on people’s health as they age, therefore exercise is imperative. Walking accom-
plishes all of the following and more:
• Improves cardiovascular endurance
• Tones muscles of the lower body
• Burns calories: about 80 if walking 2 miles per hour, and about
107 if walking 4.5 miles per hour
Reduces risk of heart disease
Getting Started
Walking just 12 minutes every other day can offer important health
benefits. To increase your longevity, try to eventually work up to 30
minutes, five days per week. Experts generally agree that to be consid-
ered “active,” adults should try to take 10,000 steps each day.
The following tips can help you get started on your walking regimen:
• Move your arms freely, in coordination with the opposite leg.
• Don’t stoop your head or look down as you walk. This will chal-
lenge the normal forward curve of your neck, which, in turn, will cause
you to carry your weight improperly.
• Don’t carry weights or dumbbells while walking. They’re better
used as a separate part of your exercise regimen.
• Walk briskly, with “purpose.” Simply sauntering, while relaxing
and enjoyable, is not an effective form of cardiovascular exercise.

The new location will store approximately 2.3 million cubic feet of records currently housed at
three different St. Louis area facilities. The building will be certified under the Leadership in En-
ergy and Environment Design (LEED) program and will also be compliant with the stringent
Federal standards for archival and non-archival records.
Records will be housed in climate-controlled stack areas designed for long-term preservation. As
well, archival storage bays will have particulate and ultraviolet filtration. Paint, sealants, caulking
and the powder-coated finishes for the shelving will be certified for minimal off-gassing of vola-
tile organic compounds. The facility will also offer new research rooms, meeting rooms equipped
with the latest video-conferencing technology and tenant office space for other area federal agen-
cies.
Several move teams are working to ensure that each and every record is accounted for when moved and that NPRC’s important ser-
vices to veterans continue with little delay. Many of the records are currently stored on 10-high shelving units in an old 1950s facil-
ity at 9700 Page Avenue in Overland, Missouri. This location was ravaged by a 1973 fire that was one of the worst in U.S. history.
The fire destroyed the building’s sixth floor and an estimated 16 - 18 million individual military personnel records. The records lost
include those of Army personnel discharged between November 1, 1912 and December 31, 1959, and Air Force personnel dis-
charged between September 25, 1947 and December 31, 1963 with names alphabetically following Hubbard, James. Some records
were salvaged from the disaster; these fire-damaged records have been stored in a
climate-controlled area where specially trained preservation technicians treat the re-
cords for mold and delicately piece together whatever they can save. Despite the very
fragile state of the burned records, preservationists have been able to retrieve valuable
information in an effort to reconstruct portions of a service member’s personnel file.
At the current Page facility the Preservation Branch also treats several thousand re-
cords that have been exposed to the harmful rays of the sun and to other contaminants
that shorten a record’s life span. In the new building, all of the records will be housed
in climate-controlled record storage bays.
NPRC is comprised of three organizational divisions: Civilian Records, Military Re-
cords and Archival Programs. Visiting researchers are encouraged to schedule an
appointment prior to making a research visit. With headquarters in Washington, D.C., the National Archives at St. Louis’ NPRC is
one of 44 NARA facilities located throughout the United States. Unlike other collections, however, the records held in St. Louis
impact nearly every family in the United States. These holdings represent a priceless piece of history and are a critical source of
information for genealogists, family members, scholars, veterans and researchers in many fields of knowledge.

At our Nov. 15 meeting, we had the business meeting, raffle , exchange of Secret Sister gifts, and Show n' Tell. We also had three
mini demonstrations. Laurie Schoensbeck gave a demo on "Artists Roll". She showed how you could make rolls, to hold markers of
various sizes. Evie Knoll showed us how to make three different Christmas ornaments, and MaLea Flynn showed us how to make
some beautiful jewelry. Good job girls.
Two new articles in our newsletter were talked about. "Bits and Pieces", where members can put an ad in the newsletter if we have a
problem with quilting, looking for a pattern, or piece of material, and etc. Also "Members on the Go". Laurie is encouraging mem-
bers to share with the group, quilt shows they attended, a new quilt shop, or
maybe a retreat they have attended.
Also in the November newsletter is a schedule for 2011 for both the regular meetings and the sewing session. Also, information
about winter meeting cancellation. If the weather is nasty you can call an officer to find out if the meeting is being held. A decision
would be made by 11:30a.m.for the sewing session and 5:00p.m., for the regular
meeting.
Members were reminded of the Christmas Party at "Water's Edge on Dec. 6th, 5:30 social
hour, with supper at 6:30. It's on St. Nick's Day, so it was suggested you wear a pair of fun
"socks" to celebrate. If you wish to take part in the ornament exchange bring a wrapped
homemade ornament. Also bring your homemade Christmas gift's for "Show n' Tell".
We are purchasing a rack for tables for the town, a thank you for using their building.
Backing for soldier quilts, is available. The Christmas Challenge will be revealed at the
Christmas Party to those who have taken the challenge. They will receive the rules and
fabric for the challenge and will have till next years Christmas Party to complete it.
A homemade pin cushion, that you have made, will be due at the January meeting. A contest will be held. For those who signed for
the "UFO", a reminder that it ends at the January meeting. If you have not brought in your 6 fat quarters, they are also due at that
time. At our January meeting Deanna will give us fabric requirements and
cutting instructions for a Mystery Quilt. This will be fun for all who dare to solve the mystery of how this quilt will look. Sounds like
fun.
We meet at the Breed Town Hall and Community Center the 3rd Mon. of the month for our regular meeting and 1st Mon. at 1:30 p.m.
for the sewing session. No sewing session in Dec and the Christmas Party will be

Two groups of students were taken to the Camino Real Ranger Station for the rebuild, the first
was led by Eric Martinson, carpentry instructor, in April of 2010 and the second was led by Bob
Moore who is also a carpentry instructor at Blackwell JCCCC. Ten students accompanied the
instructors for each trip to help with construction. Students and staff were able to stay at a hotel
complex in Taos, New Mexico and traveled 25 minutes to the city of Penasco for the project.
This project gave students and instructors a wonderful experience and allowed the students to
experience first hand what a work day will be like when they graduate the program. UBC In-
structor Eric Martinson said of the project, “It (the project) gave the students a ‘real life’ job site
situation to work on. When we arrived out there the project was a bit behind schedule. I told the students that when we left we
would catch the job back up where it needed to be before we left. After many 12 hour days the project was back on schedule. It
gave the students the opportunity to learn how to meet deadlines, work a full day without having the
interruptions of clothing trips, medical appointments and many other things that would cause a stu-
dent to not work a full day while on center.”
This project demonstrated the ability of JCCCCs’ “mobile corps” or strike teams to travel to remote
locations and experience work-based learning in a real-time construction setting. Approximately 300
Job Corps students utilized their vocational skills to complete the project. Center vocations utilized on
the project included: carpentry, construction craft laborers, block masonry, cement masonry, electri-
cal, plumbing, painting, plastering, facility maintenance, landscaping, floor covering, heavy equip-
ment operators, and tiling. National Training Contractors (NTCs), including International Masonry
Institute, International Union of Operating Engineers, International Union of Painters and Allied
Trades, National Plastering Industry’s Joint Apprenticeship Trust Fund, United Brotherhood of Car-
penters National Job Corps Training Fund, Inc., the Construction
Craft Laborers, and Home Builders Institute, provided journeyman level instructors to supervise the
student crews.
Construction materials include energy efficient walls (SIP structurally integrated panels), lighting,
water fixtures and traditional New Mexico architectural design. Job Corps students learned the art
of ancient technologies such as vigas, latillas, portals, and plaster exteriors that are unique to south-
western construction design and which are highly energy efficient and green. The project involves
working with local construction experts on installation of vigas and latillas supports which are
unique to southwestern construction design. The project will expose students to Hispanic and Indian
cultures of the southwest which will foster understanding and diversity.
The Blackwell Job Corps Civilian Conservation Center is associated with the Chequamegon-Nicolet
National Forest. The Blackwell Job Corps Civilian Conservation Center serves 205 students. The USDA Forest Service operates
28 Job Corps Civilian Conservation Centers across 18 states with a capacity of 6,200 students.
The mission of the USDA Forest Service is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the Nation’s forests and grasslands to
meet the needs of present and future generations. The Agency manages 193 million acres of public land, provides assistance to
State and private landowners, and maintains the largest forestry research organization in the world.
The Blackwell Job Corps is the nation’s oldest and largest residential job training program for economically disadvantaged youth.
This program is free for eligible students and includes benefits such as career, technical, academic and life skills training, housing,
and health care.
The Blackwell Job Corps Center is located in Laona, WI. For more information on the Center, please call (715)674-2311 or visit
