From the Editor-news and notes

I am joined by several friends, here and online who are, like me, a professional genealogist. The process has changed over the years
for looking for our long lost ancestors from using pen and paper to online researching the thousands of records we seek. While there
are still many unavailable online we hit the roads to travel to the places our ancestors once lived.
OCONTO COUNTY
My favorite place to start someone new into researching is Cindislist.org, Ancestory.com, Familysearch.com. Getting a DNA test has
become quite popular in the last couple of years. I DO recommend getting it done early into researching. It not only will tell you For details see: http://www.ocontocounty.org/
where your ancestors were from but where you can also connect with first-second cousins and hundreds of distant cousins.
If you would like some help getting started or have a brickwall you need help with, please call or email me. -

Flu season is almost here!
Flu season means that we all have to be extra aware of how we
interact with the outside world.
Even if you've had a flu shot, you may still be susceptible to cer-
tain strains of the virus.
Though you may not come down with the flu, you can still carry
the germs from one place to the next--don't help the disease
spread!
Restrooms
Flu season or not, public restrooms are breeding grounds for all
kinds of germs. If paper seat covers are provided, use them. Pro-
tect your fingers with a tissue before flushing. Wash your hands
every time, and if you use the air dryer, hit the button with your
arm, not your bare hand.
Doorknobs
How many hands have touched that door? You can be sure that
very few of them had been sanitized first. If you can push a door
open without touching the knob, do so.
If you must touch it, wrap your hand in a cloth or tissue first.
Public transportation
Buses, trains, airplanes, taxicabs...you don't know who had that
seat before you. The lady sniffling and coughing in the next seat
may just have allergies, or she might be sharing a virus with eve- There's no way to guarantee that you'll never catch something
ryone else.
Some people wear face masks when they go out in public--it's
not a bad idea when you have to share the same air space with so
many strangers.
Waiting rooms
Here's another situation where you're stuck in close quarters with
strangers. Especially if you're visiting the hospital, or even your
private practitioner, you should be aware of the possibility that
someone in the room, at some time that day, has been spreading
the flu virus. Choose a seat well away from everyone else, if you
can, and bring your own reading material.
Trash
Of course you don't make a habit of digging around in trash cans.
But sometimes you accidentally drop something in there, or may-
be it's just your turn to empty the bin.
Before you start fishing around in there, consider what might be
lurking on all those used tissues. Wash your hands immediately
after touching anything in the trash.
Phones
According to recent studies, your cell phone carries more germs
than a toilet seat. It's in your hands all the time, and you probably
don't wash before and after each use. During flu season (and
maybe even throughout the rest of the year), be careful about
where you set your phone and who you allow to hold it.
If you have to use a public telephone, wipe it down with a sani-
tizing cloth before putting it anywhere near your face.
from someone. But with a little extra care, you can combat the
worst viruses and help keep yourself and others healthy.

The popularity of Family History has increased over the past five years due to TV shows like
Genealogy Roadshow, Finding Your Roots, and Who Do You Think You Are? The ability to
access records online has opened up the one time hobby for genealogy enthusiasts to the
mainstream.

Companies like Ancestry.com, Familysearch.org, Findmypast.com, and MyHeritage have

spent millions of dollars making records available around the world. DNA technology con-
tinues to evolve and provides the instant gratification that we have become use to as a socie-
ty. But then the question remains, what does that really mean? Knowing your ancestry is
more than just ethnic percentages it’s about creating and building a story about your family
history. The Family History Toolkit is designed to help you navigate the sometimes over-
whelming and sometimes treacherous waters of finding your ancestors.

While this is not a comprehensive guide to all things genealogy, it is a roadmap to help you
on this journey of discovery, whether you are looking for your African Asian, European, or
Jewish ancestry. The Family History Toolkit guides you on how and where to begin, what
records are available both online and in repositories, what to do once you find the infor-
mation, how to share your story and of course DNA discoveries.

A Word or Two From Dr. Adam
Learn about a condition called DeQuervain’s Disease, which causes pain in the thumb and wrist.
DeQuervain's Disease
Tendons are strong, fibrous bands of tissue connecting muscles to bones. Some tendons are covered by a protective, lu-
bricated insulation called a “synovial sheath.” The two tendons on the thumb-side of your wrist that extend and abduct
your thumb into a “hitchhiker” position are covered by a sheath. Normally, these tendons move freely within this cover-
ing, much like a sword sliding through a sheath. If these tendons and sheaths are forced to repetitively rub against the
bones of your wrist, they can become painfully swollen. This condition is called De Quervain’s tenosynovitis.
The pain of De Quervain’s tenosynovitis may begin abruptly, but more commonly starts gradually and increases over
time. The pain is provoked by movements of your thumb or wrist. In more
severe cases, you may notice swelling on the outside of your wrist. Some
patients complain of “catching” or a slight “squeaking” sound while mov-
ing their wrist.
Activities like gardening, knitting, cooking, playing a musical instrument,
carpentry, walking a pet on a leash, texting, video gaming and sports like
golf, volleyball, fly fishing and racquet sports are known triggers. The
condition was once known as “Washer woman’s sprain,” since wringing
out wet clothes can trigger the problem. Lifting infants or children by
placing your outstretched finger and thumb beneath their armpit has led to
the nicknames of “Mommy thumb” or “Baby wrist.”
The condition strikes women much more frequently than men. It typically
affects
middle-
age
adults
and is
more
slightly
common in African-Americans, patients with diabetes
or rheumatoid arthritis may be at higher risk for this
problem.
Many patients will experience resolution of their
symptoms through conservative care, like the type pro-
vided in our office. You should avoid lifting, grasping
and pinching movements, especially when your wrist
is bent toward either side. You may need to find alter-
nate ways to lift children and perform work, sport and
leisure activities. Video game players and those who
text should take frequent breaks and try to hold their
wrists straighter. Avoid wearing tight wristbands. Ap-
plying ice to your wrist for 10 minutes every hour or
performing an “ice massage” (freeze a paper cup filled
with water, tear off the bottom to expose the ice, mas-
sage over the tendons in a figure-eight pattern for 6-10
minutes, taking breaks as needed) can provide relief.
Patients who have severe pain or swelling are less like-
ly to respond to conservative care. These patients may
require a cortisone injection to relieve their pain, how-
ever, surgery is rarely necessary. If you or someone
you know is experiencing any of these symptoms, give
our office a call.

Red Arrow Snowmobile ATV Club is very proud to receive the “first ever” Association
of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs "Club of the Year” Award for 2018! The Award was
presented to club representatives at the AWSC Workshops in Wisconsin Dells the week-
end of October 26th-28th. Attending to receive the award were Gary Wagner (Club Pres-
ident), Sandy Wagner (Gary's wife and Club Membership Secretary), Mike and Lisa Ott
(Mike is Vice-President), Dennis and Julie Pommering (Dennis is a Board Member) and
John and Linda Brantmeier (John is a Past President). The Award was presented after a
great dinner at the Chula Vista Resort by Todd Schaller. Todd is the AWSC Director
from Marinette County and was Chairperson of the selection committee for the award. Accolades were given to Red Arrow by
Todd and AWSC President Dave Neuman.

Receiving the Award during our 50th Anniversary Year Celebration as a club is especially fitting. Those attending agreed that
they were only representing so many members over the past 50 years who made it possible to be the club we are today. Red Ar-
row is now a year-round club of almost 500 families, individuals and Business Booster Members serving both the Snowmobile
and ATV/UTV riding communities in the Townsend area.
Red Arrow is responsible for about 65 miles of snowmobile trails and about 15 miles of ATV/UTV trails including the Nicolet State
Recreational Trail thru Townsend. In addition, the Town of Townsend has nearly 90 miles of mostly gravel town roads available for
ATV/UTV use. Come ride with us!
