A STORY THAT DID NOT MAKE THE NEWS
During the year many news stories pass over this desk that are not news worthy. We present one of these stories to you at the end of the year in an effort to make the year complete and give you an idea the quantity of news available to this department but is not used
The Treml's attended a baseball game this week at the Fox Cities Stadium. The Timber Rattlers are a favorite of the Treml children and they enjoyed some food that was served before the game in the parrking lot at the tail gate party. The children are known to comsume alcohol but not in excess according to Judy. Scott who is not too interested in baseball checked out the sewage pumps that serve the stadium while the others watched the game. That's all the news that is news, see ya.
s has been the tradition in Jacksonport Wisconsin in Door County for the past 20 years now, The Jacksonport Polar Bears have taken to the sea for their New Years bath. Among the fierce animals that crave the cool New Year dip is popular Family member Tim Lade. Lade known best for his quick wit was without words last Sunday when the wind was taken from his sails, as it were, as he made his way into the icy Door County access to Lake Michigan. The procedure for all Polar Bears is to wade out into the lake until there is a sufficient depth of water to take a dive and completely submerge. Lade made his way out into the water far enough to make the dive however after a considerable amount of analyses on Lade's part he decided not to descend below the water line already marked on his ice encrusted suit. Lade made an about face and affixed his eyes on shore singling out his Joanie gazing at him in the sea. Suddenly while distracted looking at Joanie he stepped on an unfortunate jelly fish and slipped as if he had stepped on a banana peel. As he went crashing into the sea he fell over the top of a passing marlin that had gotten too close to the silver giant. The sharp dorsal fin on the back of the marlin made a small incision in Lade's belly letting out all the hot air trapped inside. Lade now loosing his buoyancy and his swim suit struggles to get back to shore and eventually washes up on the banks with the incoming current. A crowd of onlookers stared in amazement as Lade lay in pool of flesh on the beach trying to gather himself up along with the rest of his pride so he could make his way back to the hotel to pack for the return trip to Allouez. Lade who was eventually helped by his wife, Joanie (number 4) made his way to the car where he had extra clothing and a repair kit to fix the puncture. In minutes Lade had inflated himself to the exact size he was before the incident and had donned the spare clothing in his car. Lade has not commented on whether he will attend next years Polar Bear Club event in Jacksonport.
TRIXIE TO RECEIVE AMBER McCAROL AWARD
This Christmas Trixie Sobieck received a gift she had wanted for some time, a new dog. The dog, a miniature something or other, remains with it's eyes affixed to Sobieck at all times. Sobieck never seems to leave home with out it now and some say she pays more attention to the dog now then other family members. The Kat who visited Sobieck at "The Fat Club" meeting held last Thursday commented "Trixie is just nuts about that dog, she reminds me of Amber with her little dog". This, now, the latest in similarities that has popped up between Sobieck and McCarol has prompted other Fat Club members in voting Sobieck to receive the first ever Amber McCarol Award. It is not known yet if Sobieck has accepted the award but if she does a special ceremony would be held in her honor later in the year with a formal presentation of the award. If Sobieck accepts the award she would be expected to wear a lot of gaudy clothing, be able to give speeches about her aches and illnesses, and be able to serve a chalky tasting seven layer salad. Oh yes, and of course drag her little dog wherever she goes.
