As summer fades into fall, Veterans Day quickly approaches. Every November we take pause to remember those who have served their country as a member of the Armed Forces. Every day of the year, the Wisconsin Veterans Home at King provides excellent care to our military veterans and their families in a beautiful setting.
Since the birth of our nation, American soldiers have continuously and determinedly shown how far they will go when their country has called upon them. For more than 200 years, ordinary citizens around us have gone on to do extraordinary things while serving our nation in the military.
Wisconsinites have served with distinction, honor, and often heroism in all of our country’s conflicts – from the Civil War to the Spanish American War, World War I and II to Korea, to Vietnam and the Persian Gulf, and more recently to Afghanistan and the war in Iraq. There are countless other conflicts and many humanitarian missions of which Wisconsin service members have been a part. King members have long been a part of this history.
We at the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs are honored that you have chosen us to serve you. Thank you for your service and choosing the Wisconsin Veterans Home at King.

HELP WANTED!Welcome Salute Volunteers are NEEDED!
The Welcome Salute is a program you may have heard about which started a few months ago at the Wisconsin Veterans Home at King. It is a program which offers new members an opportunity to get to know each other, current members, volunteers, and to learn a little bit more about the King campus.
When first coming to King, it is fair to say, one’s impression may be that it is a big place with a lot of people to meet, places to go, and things to become familiar with. The Welcome Salute was initiated to assist with making the move to King an easier transition with a more welcoming environment.
So what is the Welcome Salute all about? Within a couple of weeks of being admitted to the Veterans Home at King, new members will receive an invitation from a current member or volunteer to attend the next program. The program takes place every other Thursday in the Marden Library from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. On the morning of the Welcome Salute, a member or volunteer will come directly to the new member’s room to personally escort them to the Library, so there are no worries for the new member to try to find the location on their own. Coffee and snacks are provided while we go around the room making introductions. Each member is presented with a ribbon honoring their service specific to the branch in which they served. From the Library’s meet and greet the new members are taken on a personalized tour of the campus by a volunteer. The new member is able to direct where they want to go and what they want to see. Once the tour is completed, the volunteer escorts the new member back to their room. If the new member would prefer to skip the tour and go directly to their room, they are able to do that as well.
If you would like to volunteer and become involved, please call Amber Nikolai at 715.258.4247.

Storms can be an exciting wonder; at the same time they can be quite intimidating and cause for concern. I am always amazed how close storm chasers get to those storms and get them on video. However, for me, I wouldn’t and dare not get that close. My son Joel loves them and is a storm chaser in his own right. My son Micah is growing to be the same way; but me, I am on the other spectrum. Maybe that is why God has given me those two boys! In order for me to learn how to accept, as well as grow through the storms of life. They say we can learn something from every one.
In the book of Matthew chapter 14, Jesus had just finished addressing the “stormy” need for food by feeding five thousand with five (5) loaves of bread and two (2) fish. He then went up a mountain to pray and sent his disciples across the sea and into a storm! That’s right, when you read the account where Jesus sends them, a storm swiftly comes upon them and this storm is so tumultuous the disciples are at sea crying for help wondering if they are going to live through this one. Things then take a sudden change.
Jesus comes to them in the midst of their storm and lets them know all will be well. In their cry Jesus comes and more than that He calls one of them (Peter) to Him and Peter keeping his eyes steadfast upon the Savior does the miraculous in the midst of the storm: Peter walks on water holding the Savior’s hand.
You know, life is just like this experience. God, allows storms to come into our lives in order that we may learn and know that He will come to us, as we cry out to Him, and not only calm the “sea” of our troubles but also help us rise to the occasion and walk through the difficulty in a very miraculously wonderful way.
However, sometimes like Peter, when trouble strikes we forget our knowledge of God too. We struggle to recall past answers to prayer, specific guidance provided by the Holy Spirit, and lessons learned in previous crises. Only the present seems real. Our minds spin with future implications, and our troubled emotions inhibit clear thinking. Then suddenly we remember God, prompted by His Spirit of course,we once again remember who it is who can help us get up again after we have sunken in despair because we have allowed circumstances to take our eyes off of Him!
In our own strength, we lack sufficient resources and abilities to meet life’s challenges. So God provides what we need. Our suffering is never a surprise to the Lord. He knows everything we are going through. More than that, He’s orchestrating our circumstances for His glory and our benefit, according to His good will. We must remember that.

Reflecting on the divine purpose in hardship can help us respond to trials in a God-honoring way. Let’s take a moment to focus our attention on the Lord and seek to understand the lessons He wants us to learn through life’s dark moments.
No one enjoys suffering. But in the hands of almighty God, trials become tools. He uses hardship to shape believers into the people He intends them to be. Jesus allowed the disciples to experience the fear and anxiety of being in a boat on a raging sea. He permitted them to suffer because He had something
far more important to teach them. He wanted the disciples to recognize their own helplessness, His sufficiency, and their dependence on Him. He asked Peter to come to Him in order that Peter exercise faith in Him. And so it is with us. In the midst of our troubles He calls us to come to Him in order that we exercise our faith in Him and as a result experience His sweet deliverance. We must keep our eyes fixed on Him! When we do, it gives God the open door to help us to have the opportunity to experience something great!

The Library has added several books to its permanent collection.Following are some of those books.

Floodtide by Frank Yerby Ross Pary has one main goal: to get from his meager beginnings in Natchez-Under-the-Hill all the way up to Natchez-on-the-Hill. Though less than a mile separates the 2 places, it might as well be thousands of miles. But Ross is set on going from his birthplace full of cutthroats, brawling river men and ladies of easy virtue – to the hill where gentlemen planters live in porticoed mansions with their ladies. He wants that life of graciousness and ease. His journey is made “interesting” by a ravishingly lovely woman, Morgan Brittany. Morgan turns his head, but turns out to be appallingly evil. Then into the mix comes Conchita Izquierdo, a Cuban refugee, and Cathy Linton, a freckle-faced gal who can ride, swear, and smoke like a man! “Yet there is more to Floodtide than the tangled loves of Ross Pary: the passions and conflicts of individuals are set against the colorful panorama of the old slaveholding South which reached the floodtide of its fortunes in the lush decade of the 1850’s. It is a telling and authentic picture of the human, as well as the economic side of slavery, and the embittered controversy which finally erupted into a terrible Civil War.”
Ransom by Julie Garwood Head back to medieval times in this novel of intrigue and emotion. Gillian is just a child when the cruel Baron Alford slaughters her father and tears her family apart. Alford is in search of a jeweled box for despotic King John, and is furious when the precious treasure disappears for more than a decade. Gillian, now a young woman, has forged a life for herself and resolves to lay claim to her home, her family, and her father’s reputation. She and her friends must fight the unscrupulous Baron Alford in order to accomplish this. “Resounding with the steely clash of sword-against-sword, and the pounding of hearts bound by cliff-hanging peril, ‘Ransom’ sweeps from Scotland to England with all the majesty of medieval glory days.”
American Icon by Pat Booth What more could a woman want? Kate Heywood has just accepted her “Woman of the Year” award. She has been honored for building a homemaking empire of bestselling books, a top-rated TV show, and an award-winning magazine. Kate, however, feels she has spent too much time away from her family, and resolves to spend more quality time with them. But her resolve may be too late: her husband Peter informs her he is leaving her. Kate decides to fight to save her marriage, but there will be complications – like the handsome sculptor Steve Gardiner…..
A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson After 20 years in Britain, Bill Bryson decides to return to his native United States. He then decides to reacquaint himself with his country by walking the 2100-mile Appalachian Trail, which stretches from Georgia to Maine! Along for the walk is Bill’s out-of-shape friend Stephen. You will delight at Bryson’s humor as he tells of the many hilarious characters they meet along the way. Beyond the comedy, however, Bryson reminds us that the fragile beauty of our world depends upon us for its conservation.
Riders to Cibola by Norman Zollinger You will enjoy this story of the journey of Ignacio Ortiz, a Mexican orphan and runaway. As Ignacio searches for his past, he will take you through revolutionary upheavels, two world wars, and the beginning of the modern west. During New Mexico’s last territorial days, Ignacio finds his loyalties tested by the MacAndrews clan - his employers!
Neanderthal by John Darnton Join Matt Mattison and Susan Arnot as they head to Asia to find a species linked to the origins of mankind! The species, in existence for over forty thousand years, possesses power which man cannot even imagine! The suspense will have you “on edge” as archeologists and rival governments attempt to track down this band of creatures.
Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom When you were young, did you have a “go to” person? Someone you turned to for guidance and advice? For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor. Over time, Mitch lost track of his mentor, and often thought how he would like to see Morrie again, and discuss with him all of his accomplishments and disappointments. His chance came when he found Morrie in the last days of the old man’s life. Mitch visited Morrie every Tuesday, and the rekindled relationship turned into one final “class:” lessons in how to live.

Recognizing Wisconsin Veterans Home at King Volunteer
“Necia is always a huge help. She comes in for large events holidays and is here 3 times a week. She is always cheerful and outgoing. I know whenever I have stuff going on she will be right there to help me. I can give her any task and she is always willing to jump right in to help or get it done. She handles all the situations with a kind loving caring spirit and makes sure that all members are safe and treated with the utmost respect andlove. I have not seen any other volunteer who would come in on Christmas, Open House, King Days and still be here as much as she is during the week. I know she has a family and a life outside of King but she always makes sure if we have something going on she will be here. Necia also makes the staff feel like part of her extended family. I miss working with her on a regular basis but I know the members I left at LL1 will be in great hands with Necia and the rest of the staff at LL1.” Activities Staff Member, Ilona Grawvunder.
“Necia is our right-hand-woman. We rely on her as much as our paid staff as she is part of our team. She loves to come and make our members feel cared for in a special way. Ilona is correct in the fact
Necia will stay for lunch outings, special events in the evenings, and also comes in for holidays and weekend events to assist whoever is on LL1 for the day. Necia is a devoted friend and caring volunteer to all members here at King,” Activities Staff Member, Karen
Necia says: “They give me so much more than I can possibly give them. It is such a privilege to help in any way I can. The staff and members are so wonderful; they are always making me feel appreciated. What I get out of volunteering at King is so much
more than what I give. I love being a part of the King Volunteer family.”

King Honor Guard member and volunteer Will Pope goes on Honor Flight!
The GameThe locals gathered at the bar.
It wasn’t very farThey just wanted to relax for a while.
Tell jokes and smile.They gathered on Sunday afternoons.
But there was more to it, you’ll see soon.They played one on one.
Ate hotdogs on bunsBut if you didn’t shoot straight,
You would be picked to eliminate.A sunken cue ball would cost.Who racked was won by toss.
The final two were up for the final game.It was supposed to be all the same.
Just fun for a bunch of guys.Boy, were they in for a surprise.The first shooter broke the rack.Two solids went into the sack
He then sunk one more.Now it was the others turn to score.
He sunk three balls before he had to stop.The other buy thought it was slop
Then his opponent he got all.But he couldn’t get that eight ball.
So the other guy was up.Feeling like he had this pup.
He shot and scored three more balls.But missed his next call.
So again his opponent tried for the eight.His opponent got ‘em all in.
And said “I win.”His opponent broke his cue.
Then he took it and really threw.So the next time you want to have some fun,
Stay at home and clean your gun.
