Moquah Barrens Sharp-tailed Grouse ViewingOpportunity April 18 May 7

Washburn, Wis. (April 1, 2011) -- Bird watching enthusiasts and researchers have an opportunity to observe theSharp-tailed Grouse perform its spring rituals on the Washburn Ranger Districts Moquah Barrens during April andMay.

Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest wildlife specialists will open their Sharp-tailed Grouse observation blind tothe public starting April 18 through May 7, said Brian Heeringa, District Biological Science Technician.

Sharp-tailed grouse occupy large patches of early successional habitats including grasslands, shrublands, wetlandsand early stages of forest-land throughout much of central and northern North America. Within the eastern UnitedStates, sharp-tail populations are found in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Management on the Moquah Barrens is helping the sharp-tailed grouse and other area sensitive open-land species,Heeringa said. In recent years, sharp-tail populations have declined and their historic range has been reduced.

The restoration of pine barren ecosystems utilizing prescribedfire and even-aged timber management is providing important,if not critical, habitat for this and other open land species of

conservation concern, he said.

These grouse are usually quite secretive throughout the year,however, during the spring both sexes congregate at localizedbreeding areas referred to as leks or dancing grounds. Leks arecommunal display areas where males gather for the purpose ofattracting and mating with females. These leks can consist ofanywhere from two to 57 males.

The Moquah Barrens grouse usually congregate in smallernumbers, Heeringa said. The primary courtship display by themale sharp-tail consists of a period of activity followed by aperiod of relaxation. The period of activity can consist of foot-stomping, clicking, tail rattling, with numerous intricate vocali-zations.

This gathering offers researchers and bird enthusiasts alike the opportunity to watch these amazing birds, he said.

The observation blind will be available from April 18 to May 7, 2011 from 1 hour before sunrise to 1-2 hours aftersunrise. Those interested in participating must sign-up in advance and are required to complete/submit a provideddata form.

For more information or to sign up, please contact Brian Heeringa at 715-373-2667 extension 234 or [email protected]. To view the sign-up calendar for available days and review the survey protocol please visit: http://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/Sharp-tailed_Grouse

My Journey By Bonnie Vrchota

Feet, knees, hips, lower back pain?When you see a chiropractor, youll be asked to lay face down ona table. This is to make sure your legs are even. The chiro mightpull your legs and hips and adjust your back, but will never beable to lengthen a leg bone. In fact, this action could be hurting

you. You might have Short Leg Syndrome. This means you haveone leg shorter because one of your leg bones is shorter fromgenetics or an injury. This causes feet, hips, knees, gluts & lowerback pain & even travels up to the brain (balance issues), ouch!With a simple test you can be fitted with a shoe lift in your heelarea. However, your muscles have probably degenerated over theyears from over-compensating for your short leg. The spinecurves (scoliosis), faulty feet and ankle structure profoundly af-fect leg length, pelvic positioning and even the gluts in your rearmight be hurting. Some other factors to look for: sleeping in afetal position, poor posture while sitting, swinging leg whilewalking, shoulder tilting to one side; unequal arm swing; pelvictilt; ankle plantar flexed on the short side; and/or knee flexed onthe long side. Here are simple exercises to stretch out these tightmuscles. www.livestrong.com/article/335895-exercises-for-short-leg-syndrome/.

A Word or Two From Dr. Adam

Workplace ErgonomicsWhen working at a desk, try these suggestions for greater comfort:1- Choose a desk that is the proper height. All things on your desk should be within easy

reach.

2- Your feet should be touching the floor, with the legs and body forming an angle of 90 to110 degrees.3- Keep your body straight with the head and neck upright andlooking forward, not to the side. Do not hunch over or slouch.4- Adjust the height of your monitor. Look forward with your headin a neutral position. Your eyes should be at the same height as thetop of the monitor. Leaning your head forward can lead to head-aches and neck pain.5- When typing, keep your wrists straight, your shoulders perpen-dicular to the floor, and your forearms parallel to the floor.6- When reading at your desk, use a bookstand or a paper holder tokeep your eyes in the same neutral position you use to read docu-

ments on your computer monitor.7- When talking on the phone, use a headset,when possible, especially if you talk on thephone for prolonged periods. Holding the phonebetween your shoulder and cheek will only leadto neck pain and headaches.8- Stand up and stretch your legs with a shortwalk about every 20 to 30 minutes.9- Take micro-breaks often, stretching your neck,arms and wrists, back, and legs. Simple stretchesinclude neck rotations, fist clenches, arm dan-gles, and shoulder shrugs.

10- If your eyes concentrate on a particular ob-ject for long periods, relax your eye muscles byshifting your focus from objects that are close toyou to objects that are farther away. This helps

reduce eye strain.

Continued from Page 1.

by Jeff Mahon

I wrote a Facebook Whats on your mind? a few minutes ago: Jeff Mahon is trying tobalance the very real need for computer and online account security, with useable passwords

that he can actually remember. Ain't gonna happen in this lifetime.

A good check of whether anything written in that space, by anyone, is how quickly a response

or comment arrives. If that is a measure of success, then give me a Pulitzer. One of my harsh-est critics, and best online sparring partner, liked it within five minutes followed veryquickly by our erstwhile Timber News owner, publisher, editor and all around chief cook and

bottle washer.

So, wandering back to the coffee pot, I got to thinking about security. What is it? Do I have it, or need it? Do I want it? Does itmean anything, really, in our lives? And does security mean different things, or make a difference in your life, based on whetheryou are in America, Libya, Australia, Japan or Wisconsin?

If it is my computer, I certainly want it, especially for online accounts. Mysister gave me a logbook for passwords. I have filled that puppy up to thegills, and it would be overwhelmed if my bride and I didnt use a standard,easy-to-remember password for all non-critical sites and accounts.

But computer security and personal security are pretty different. TakeTSA and Homeland Security as an example. Flown lately? Do you feelany safer or more secure after going through that mess? I swore after atrip to warmer climes two months ago that I would drive rather than gothrough that again yet I am heading West in two weeks and going tohave to go through the process at least four different times. The econom-ics of the trip dictate air travel over driving, but I am not happy about it.And I am REALLY not happier about it that we have to pay over $46 Bil-lion a year for this security.

Security to my grand children is way different. Warmth, food, love, dry diapers, a favorite toy or book, soaking in all the sightsand sounds of a world unfolding in front of them are all things they consider essential to their security or at least we think so,for them.

How about our Armed Forces, Police and Fire Departments? They make me feel pretty secure, in an unsure world. These menand women stand up and are counted on to put their lives on the line for us, and countless others worldwide how secure do

they feel?

Are you working? How secure to you feel in your job right now? I left that major electronics company after almost 20 years on

the job took a buyout because for the third time in ten of those years my job was being eliminated. Frankly, I hadnt felt se-cure with that company since 30 days after I was hired!

Our, and your, teachers are having some security concerns right now. As a result, a couple of recently elected governors may behaving some job security issues. And speaking of states, a couple of dozen of them right here in the U. S. of A., though not peo-ple, should be feeling the pangs of insecurity, because they are on the verge of bankruptcy. How does that feel to the citizens ofsaid states?

These are all security issues and there are uncounted others we could discuss, until the cows come home. But I would ratherleave you with this thought: We all make our own security, and we are responsible for it. Your neighbors, town, city, county,state and country are not. You are. By your actions, beliefs, votes, contributions, ethics everything that makes you you, you

define yourself and your own security. Even in Ohio.

Rhinelander, Wis. (March 14, 2010) -- The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forests All Terrain Vehicle (ATV), motor bike, horseand mountain bike trails are closed from March 15 to April 30 during the spring thaw.

During this time period, motorized vehicles, motorcycles, horses and mountain bikes ATVs are prohibited from using all ForestService jurisdiction roads.

Heavy trail use during the spring thaw causes significant damage to roads and soils. Rutting, soil erosion and other resource dam-age can occur when saturated and muddy ground is disturbed, resulting in costly repairs, explained Catherine Pinegar, Forest Rec-reation Planner. The spring closure order protects the publics investment in roads and trails, and protects the Forests soil and wa-ter r esources.

ATV routes and other trails designated by towns under state law are not affected by this closure. Trail users should also check withlocal regulations for the trails the plan to use.

ATV, horse, and mountain bike enthusiasts are encouraged to do their part in helping to protect everyones recreation opportunitiesby honoring this closure, Pinegar said.

Designated ATV, horse and mountain bike trails reopen for use May 1. Forest Service jurisdiction roads open to ATVs can also beused beginning May 1.

Vehicle (ATV), motor bike, horse and mountain bike trails are

closed from March 15 to April 30

Hi, my name is Evan,

On January 22, 2010, my life changed forever. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I was six years old and was so scared. It wasmy first trip in an ambulance and first stay at a hospital. I had an IV in both hands and there were these nurses that kept pricking myfinger every 2-3 hours. I cried each time. Two days later I was able to get my IVs out and then my parents had to learn how to giveme insulin injections 4-8 times a day. I dont know what I did wrong that my parents had to be this meanto me. I cried some more. I was in the hospital for 4 days and when I finally got to go home I thought allthese pokes and pricks would end. Boy was I wrong.

Before each meal I had to test my blood sugar, wait for my food so my parents could total all the carbs inmy food; I was so hungry. I would then have to have insulin corrections for my blood sugar and for howmany carbs I had eaten. A few months went by and then I realized that my parents werent giving meshots because they were mean, it was because they loved me. I learned that I need to have this insulin tostay alive. In my first year I have already had 2,850 injections and many more pokes than that. I will haveto continue to do insulin shots until there is a cure. I am just over a year living with diabetes and I have alot of care that goes into my daily living. I dont get a day off from diabetes so that is why my family and Iare participating in the Walk to Cure Diabetes with the Northwoods Shooters. My dream would be to wake up one morning and nothave to do one single insulin shot or a finger poke. I want a Cure. The JDRF is closer than ever to finding a cure with their develop-ment of an artificial pancreas. This is why I need your help. Please support me in making my dream and the dreams and lives ofothers just like me a reality.

Join our TEAM on May 7 at the Brown County Fairgrounds. Registration begins at 8:30am and walk begins

at 10:00am. Below are ways to donate:*Join our team Northwoods Shooters! Walk with us and collect money.*Send a tax deductible donation to Evan Birkholz, 16532 Hwy 32, Mountain, WI. 54149 (all checks shouldbe made payable to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation or JDRF)*Make a donation online at www.jdrf.org.

An Obituary printed in the London Times - Interestingand sadly rather true.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend,Common Sense, who has been with us for many years..No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birthrecords were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He

will be remembered as having cultivated such valuablelessons as:- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;- Why the early bird gets the worm;- Life isn't always fair;- and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial poli-cies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliablestrategies (adults, not children, are in charge).His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set inplace. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexualharassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspendedfrom school for using mouthwash after lunch; and ateacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, onlyworsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attackedteachers for doing the job that they themselves hadfailed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required toget parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspi-rin to a student; but could not inform parents when astudent became pregnant and wanted to have an abor-tion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churchesbecame businesses; and criminals received better treat-ment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't de-fend yourself from a burglar in your own home and theburglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after awoman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee

was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and waspromptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents,Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daugh-ter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My RightsI Want It Now Someone Else Is To BlameI'm A VictimNot many attended his funeral because so few realizedhe was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. Ifnot, join the majority and do nothing.
