August 2010 • Lake Country SNAPSHOTS 3

It’s hard to believe 2010 is half over. Yes, as of this issue’s publication date of July 16, there only are 168 left until we ring in 2011.That doesn’t mean there’s not plenty of time to get in sum-mer activities. Just take a look at the calendar and you can see options are

plentiful.Looking for a bar-gain? Hit up the fl ea market in Ad-ams any weekend through the sum-mer. With tables ga-lore, you just might fi nd the deal of the decade. Or stop in at the Moundview Memorial Hospital & Clinics Partners garage sale on Aug.

13 or 14.There’s music — from city band con-certs, to full-blown concerts at the Crys-tal Grand Music Theatre in Wiscon-sin Dells.Looking for a hobby? Check out the activi-ties at the Rome mu-nicipal building. You can choose from line dancing, tap danc-

ing or wood carving — or all three.Don’t forget all the outdoor opportuni-ties at the area lakes and parks. As always, please take some pictures. We want Lake Coun-try Snapshots to be all about the photos you send us. E-mail or send by mail. Just be sure to identify

all the people in the picture, when and where the picture was taken, and who took the shot.Some readers are wondering when Lake Country Snap-shots will be pub-lished. The Septem-ber issue will come out Aug. 20; October and November issue on Sept. 17; and the

December holiday issue will come out Nov. 19.Where does the time go?Here’s to a great Au-gust — get out, en-joy and take those pictures.Deb Cleworth, content editor Lake Country Snapshots [email protected]

The Air Force Achievement Medal recently was awarded to Airman First Class Joshua Roatch. Roatch distinguished him-self by outstanding achievement as a security response member,of the 341st Missile Squadron at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mon-tana.While on patrol to perform a site as-sessment on one of Malmstrom’s mis-sile launch facili-ties, Roatch and his partner discovered a mangled vehicle that was over-turned. Roatch and Sgt. Matt Meade, being the fi rst re-sponders, assessed the accident and established, erected and attained all necessary fi rst aid and fi rst response for the survival and successful recovery of Greg Herman of Hilger, Mont. “The doctors tell me that if the Air Force guys would not have come along and provided the medical attention they did, I would not be here today,” Herman said.

Residents rise to the challenge of the service

After seeing his to-taled truck, he said he can’t believe he’s alive. The achieve-ment reads in part, “the distinctive accomplishments of Airman Roatch refl ect credit upon Himself and the United States Air Force.” Roatch, a 2007 graduate of Adams-Friendship High School, now is stationed in Buchel, Germany, advanc-ing in missions offered to him in security forces. His address is: Airman First Class Joshua Roatch, PSC 17 Box 141, APO, AE 09214.• Staff Sgt. Justine Roatch is a knowl-edge operations manager assigned to the Sixth Intel-ligence Squadron as the primary

unit security man-ager, Osan Air Base, South Korea. She is a 2005 graduate of Adams-Friendship High School and enlisted in the Air Force prior to grad-uation. Her fi rst duty assignment was to the 305th Mission Support Group, McGuire Air Force Base, N.J.In 2007, she was deployed with the Sixth Airlift Squad-ron out of McGuire AFB to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in support of Op-eration Enduring Freedom-Horn of Africa. Shortly after re-turning stateside, Roatch transferred to the Communica-tions Focal Point, 87th Communica-tions Squadron, McGuire AFB, N.J. She graduated from

Airman Leader-ship School garner-ing the Academic Achievement Award with the highest test scores of her class. Before mov-ing to her second and current duty location at Osan Air Base, she received an Air Force com-mendation medal. Justine Roatch’s current duty loca-tion is Osan Air Base, South Korea. She was promoted to the rank of staff sergeant in her fi rst

eligible cycle and has recently re-ceived Sixth Intel-ligence Squadron Airman of the year for talents, motiva-tion and commit-ment to serving our Nation.In addition to her work duties, Justine Roatch is treasurer of her unit’s booster club, undergoing scuba diving cer-tifi cation and is working towards a bachelor’s degree in aviation busi-ness administration

through Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Justine and Joshua Roatch are the children of Jim and Phyllis We-hinger, Friendship; grandchildren of Carol and George Schreiber, Athens; Judy Wehinger and the late Jim We-hinger Sr. of Friend-ship.

SnapshotsADAMS — Twenty years and thou-sands of chicken nuggets later, Shir-ley Horner is set to leave the kitchen.The food services director for the Adams-Friendship Area School Dis-trict the past two decades, Horner en-joyed her last day of school and retired this summer.Horner was respon-sible for making more food available to more students in the School District than in years past, thanks to the dis-trict’s breakfast and summer meals pro-grams.But diabetes and age took their toll, so she wants to step away to accomplish more things in life.“It made me realize there’s a few other things I want to try to do. I’m going to miss my kids, and I’m going to miss my staff, but I think it’s going to be a good thing,” she said.Horner’s district has one of the state’s highest pov-erty rates with 68

Shirley Horner, Adams-Friendship School District food service director, explains the kinds of food students can choose from. Horner retired at the end of the school year, but plans to help assist the new employee with the summer food program.

percent of its enroll-ment receiving a free or reduced-price lunch. Mondays were the toughest day of the week to provide lunches.“When they came back (from the weekend) on Mon-day, whatever we have, they ate more,” Horner said. “We have an idea they don’t get a lot dur-ing the weekends, some of them maybe nothing.“I try to put extra carbs on the menus on Monday just to help fi ll them up, and maybe that’s not the right thing to do because of the obesity, but you can

tell how they eat.”Horner said it’s hard to believe how some families sus-tain themselves in Adams County with parents providing a living on part-time wages.“When I see the in-comes that come in on free and reduced applications, and what the families are living on, I can’t imagine living on that,” Horner said.In the future, Horner expects the fed-eral government to change what foods are served to stu-dents, but fi rst, she hopes the state Leg-islature will drop the reduced assistance

category. Removing that category would open up free lunches for more families.“I had the hard-est time collecting money from the kids on reduced lunch,” Horner said. “And I can’t turn a kid down; if a kid shows up in line and he says he’s hungry and he wants to eat, I feed him.”The main reason Horner isn’t sad to leave the district is because of who is taking her position.Vicki Marcucci, who went to school for di-etetics, was tabbed as Horner’s succes-sor.“I have a passion

about food and good nutrition,” said Mar-cucci, who is friends with Horner. “I’ve

always lived my life that way, always making good meals for my kids.

SnapshotsROME— Farmers markets, a common sight this time of year, offer a variety from local agricul-tural gurus.Organizers hope to feed more than stomachs during the weekly Friday Rome Farmers Mar-ket; they also want to nourish attend-ees’ minds.Almost every week during the third season of the sum-mer event, guest speakers such as Jonathan Smith, president of Alpine Foods in Rome, give presentations or demonstrations or provide entertain-ment in the Alpine Business Park ga-zebo.A week ago, Smith discussed new and different cranberry products — includ-ing the new Berry Bits -- while Chris Sohns, also of Al-pine Foods, pre-pared samples of a variety of recipes for market-goers, including chicken Berry Bits salad and smoothies.

“Our inspiration was to bring more community mem-bers into this park and to help the ven-dors,” said Ruthann Spiegelhoff, one of the Rome Farmers Market volunteer managers.High gasoline pric-es helped the farm-ers market its fi rst year.“I think the fi rst year, gas was about $4 a gallon,” said Judy McCormick, one of the market’s volunteer manag-ers. People weren’t traveling to the roadside markets to get the fresh goods, so McCormick and Spiegelhoff asked vendors to go to the park.“And they have, and they continue to come,” McCormick said.Spiegelhoff and Mc-Cormick, both of Rome, aim to fi nd ways to keep mar-ket offerings fresh in other ways. Last year, they scheduled a handful of gazebo presentations, and this year, almost every Friday has something for visi-tors, most often at

10:30 a.m.Thanks to a grant from the Commu-nity Foundation of Greater South Wood County, or-ganizers expanded their offerings this summer. Scheduled events include guest chefs from local res-taurants, gardening tips and health in-formation.Rhonda Funmaker’s June appearance was the result of a recent grant from the foundation.A member of the Ho-Chunk Bear Clan, Funmaker has a goal of preserving the traditions and cultures of the Ho-Chunk Nation. The Friendship resident planned to bring some foods native to the area and of-fer cooking tips and techniques.Rain or shine, the market is held ev-ery week, and peo-ple go to enjoy the park and other resi-dents.“One of things that Judy and I have found is it’s a com-munity meeting place,” Spiegelhoff said.
