By Kathleen Marsh
The first UNAC (Up North Authors Circle) meeting of 2011 was held at the Lakewood Library on January 12. Kathleen Marsh
began by reading a very well received excerpt from Oconto author George Wamser’s “The Mystery.” Evelyn Gaede then reported on a
“once-in-a-lifetime offer” she had received from a self-publishing firm.
The company proposed that, for thousands of dollars in fees, a Hollywood
“treatment” would turn her first novel, Chelsea’s Doom, into a screen play
that “Hollywood directors were very interested in.” Evelyn wisely looked
more carefully into the proposal and saw it for what it was: a shameless
solicitation routinely sent to every writer who had ever used the company
to publish his/her work.
Once that bit of unpleasantness had been settled, several writers shared
new and old work. Jacqulyn Jahnke, who travels from Green Bay to attend
meetings, had just come from an interview in Gladstone, Michigan, where
she was getting information for her book The Purple Wedding Dress. Jacqulyn
shared a rewrite of a chapter from the book which she has been working
on for several years. It was obvious that she had really “done it” this time,
and Jacqulyn is now headed into the final stages of editing. “A summer
publication is a real possibility now,” she said with a huge smile.
The rest of the meeting had a new twist: it was entirely devoted to poetry.
Clare Huisman shared a rousing “Packer Fight Song” that she had written
in honor of Green Bay’s 2011 appearance in the playoffs. She got everyone
singing, and it was suggested that her song would make a perfect YouTube video.
Next, Zach Mason read three poems he was thinking of submitting to the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poetry Muse Contest. Group
members helped him choose a poem he calls “Paddy-Whacked,” hilarious, satirical rhymed verse. Newcomer Nancy Jo Garner then also
read several poems, including “The Trucker Way” and “Near Island Song.” All of her poems are filled with amazing imagery that de-
lighted UNAC members.
The meeting ended with Shari Posselt reading a sad and wistful poem, “My Horse Ebony.” Everyone agreed that Shari has a way
of packing her work with colorful language that really communicates her passion for written expression.

Today, I had my last visit with the doctor, to get the results
Townsend Fire Department
from my last blood draw. I was excited to see what foods I’m
still allergic to and which foods I can reintroduce back into my The McCaslin Lioness Club’s President, Mary Ellen
diet. I learned I can blame genetics for my allergies to Night-
shade foods (potatoes, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, egg-
Greiten, presented Townsend Fire Chief Rick Opiela
plant, pimentos, paprika, cayenne, and Tabasco sauce), Citrus with the Club’s annual donation to the Fire Depart-
(orange, lemon and limes) and Legumes (black-eyed peas, len- ment.
tils, navy, black, garbanzo, kidney & pinto beans. My body
fights them like a foreign material, but my white blood cells
weaken from defeat. If I want my white blood cells to remain
strong enough to defend my body from future disease, I must
continue to rotate my foods, and avoid those that I’m
“sensitive” to. I can add a few foods back into my diet
(chicken eggs are still out). In conclusion, I lost a few pounds,
gained lean muscle mass from more intense workouts, dropped
almost 1% body fat to 20.4% and my blood sugar is 80
(perfect). I’ve learned a lot, feel better, understand the whys
and what-if’s and will continue to prepare my meals from the
suggested food menus I was given back in May. I’m pleased
with the results and will continue to eat properly and workout
daily (weight-bearing and cardio). I wish you all a prosperous
and Happy New Year. Happy Health to you all…..Boni
