During these hot and steamy July days, many people are going on vacation. Others choose to have a stay-cation. One might say I had a stay-cation of my own one day last week. It actually began the night before, when I had to drink a special cocktail; no alcohol, it was magnesium citrate. The next day, I was on a liquid diet but nothing red or purple.

Many times throughout my columns, I’ve mentioned working with our skid steer. It is a multitasking piece of equipment that we could not do without. My husband and I both use it every single day all year long for a number of different jobs. Every morning, I use it to feed our outside heifers, loading up three buckets full of feed we have stored in our silage bags.

If you want to know about your genealogy, the Family History Center is a great place to find it. The dedicated volunteers love what they do — gathering information on the residents of Shawano and Menominee counties. The center is located in a library at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Shawano.

Schmidt and his wife, Heather, a kindergarten teacher at Hillcrest, have been married 17 years.

On a nice summer day, you will likely find Mike McCord with a cup of coffee in his backyard, recovering from recent surgeries. McCord recently retired after 25 years as superintendent of the Clintonville Public Works Department. “This is a great city,” McCord said. “I consider Clintonville my home.” “I am very appreciative for what he has done for the city for 25 years,” Mayor Judith Magee said.

The controversy surrounding the Clintonville Common Council took another turn recently when a recall effort was launched against Fourth District Alderman Greg Rose, who was elected to a two-year term in April 2013. Wm. Van Daalwyk filed a statement of intent to circulate a petition to recall Rose with the city clerk’s office on July 17.
