HUNTING WIDOWS WEEKEND:
This unique annual event takes place Saturday, November 17, 2018. Forty (40) vendors will be set up at the Lake Nebagamon Auditorium from 9am to 3pm, so there is ample time to shop the varieties offered by artisans. Breakfast downstairs and lunch upstairs will be prepared by Northwestern Choir, they will be using proceeds from these meals to help fund their Choir Trip.
Raffle ticket fees for the beautiful handmade quilt will go to the KIN Charity. A lucky person will win this lovely creation!
Rental fees from the vendor tables fund KIN (Kids in Nebagamon) to purchase Christmas gifts for those in need and to buy the fixings for a family Christmas dinner. Have fun shopping, eating, visiting, and help your community at the same time. It’s a Win/Win for all.

DEER HUNTERS:
Best of luck to a successful and safe hunting season.
Interesting online hunting information.
Artifacts found in Germany as old as 350,000 years and cave paintings found in France as old as 30,000 years indicate deer hunting has been around since well before the dawn of modern civilization. Back then deer weren’t only a source of food, either. Deer hide provided ancient people clothing and carpeting while deer bone provided clubs and fish hooks, along with knives and spearheads. Deer were a necessity for humankind as a source of sustenance, warmth, weaponry, adventure and sharpening instincts. Today values and instincts mean something totally different. The evolution of hunting over the past 4 million years or so is present in all of us as mankind. As times have changed and hunting has evolved, so too have our means for hunting. Not only have we had a diminished need for deer hunting in our modernized, rationalized society, we also have many more advances for efficient and effective hunting. This combination has devolved our instincts as a race when it comes to tracing deer. These intrinsic adjustments dramatically changed what is needed and how we hunt. With advances in shooting technology and guns that can even shoot and aim themselves, along with such tools afforded us as tree stands and backwoods mules, the deer hunter from over 1 million or even 1 hundred years ago would not recognize the way hunters operate today. The way we hunt today has made leaps and bounds over the past 4 million years. Gone are the handmade spears fashioned from deer bone, bound using deer hide leather, replaced with high caliber rifles accurate enough to allow a novice shooter pick off pencil tip from 300 yards. Also gone is the instinctual need to hunt deer, replaced with the convenience of meat markets on every street corner. But one thing remains; the tradition of the deer hunt is as strong today as it was when mankind first started tracing deer.

THE LIBRARY SHELF:
“The Emigrants” by W.G, Sebald is a compilation of stories about the people who fled their homeland during WWII. As they age, memories of their families, land, homes and former lives become more important than their current lives. Homesick, they recall the sights and even the smells of the earth and sky where their hearts and souls were born. Detailed descriptions are so vivid you can almost visualize the changing landscape, the angst, the subtle loss of freedom…. the grip of fear as people become transformed. Artfully written, it’s an observation about the human psyche.
As with all book reviews, this book came for our own Lake Nebagamon Library, The Imogene McGrath Memorial Library. Aside from an adult and children’s’ lending section, free use of computers and a printer (for a small fee), you can check out audio books, movies and books on many subjects using your library card. We are so fortunate to have our own library right here in our village, please stop in and visit.

HALLOWEEN WEBS:
Orb Weaver Spiders are showing themselves lately and perhaps frightening people because this species grows to its full size this time of year, Autumn. They are rather imposing. Having a fused head and throat, eight legs, a fang like a mouth, a huge abdomen, and hairy legs, they look fearsome. However, they are neat and tidy! Nocturnal, they eat their web in the morning to absorb the accumulated dew, leaving no mess. They spin their web all over again to catch pests such as wasps and other insects in that Halloween like web. U.S. Orb Weavers are not poisonous and are afraid of humans! If you have arachnophobia, a simple organic homemade spray will keep them at bay. Mix 1 cup water, ¼ cup hydrogen peroxide, 10 drops lavender and spray around doors etc. in the evening. If you spray a spider it will quickly run away, no need to kill it. Try to adopt the motto “Live and let Live” (a truce between man and nature) if possible.
