Stepping Aside By Kim Jordan, WEAC-Fox Valley President Writing this last article stirs bittersweet feelings within me. Being the WEAC-Fox Valley President for the last four years, and being on the Board of Directors representing New London for several years prior to that has taken up a lot of my life. Time that I could have spent with family and friends was replaced by time spent working hard on union issues. But I must say, I have been rewarded with new friends and a new “family” of sorts. For that, I will always be grateful. Before I started writing this, I reread my very first article that I wrote in August of 2004. I wrote about the worry of being ready to meet the challenge of chairing our UniServ. I referenced a few instances where I’d stepped forward with a task that I was unsure I could handle, but found I was stronger than I realized. Each new challenge has been and always will be a learning experience, and a growing experience. I asked each of you, the members of WEAC-FV, to challenge yourself to become involved in the union in some way. I hope many of you did, and I hope you found it worthwhile. The stronger we are as a union, the stronger our professions are, and that leads to better public schools, educating our students from preschool through college level. I skimmed through all The Propeller newsletters to see what was accomplished during the last four years. All the things we were involved with amazed me. Some of these accomplishments were personal, but most were done through the work of our board and staff. The list includes: starting audits in our UniServ annually, sponsoring “I See Red” activities, fighting TABOR, surviving the loss of experienced board members as they retired, learning about taxes and funding through TEF, losing UniServ Director Roger Palek and hiring Terri Trimbell to take his place, changing the wording of New Business Item #1 to reflect AFT-Wisconsin organizing the Hortonville teachers, having the National Education Association (then) Vice President Dennis Van Roekel speak at our WEAC-FV representative assembly, starting a committee to set annual goals, attending NCUEA (National Council for Urban Education Assn.) conferences, working to convince WEAC to hire a government relation’s specialist to be located in our northeast area, updating many policies, celebrating Henry Krokosky’s 30th year anniversary as our UniServ Director, attending and promoting Lobby Days, being part of Our Renaissance Plan-Goal L, working to formalize evaluations and position

Stepping Aside (continued) descriptions for our staff, attending state and national representative assemblies, hiring two new secretaries (including our present secretary, Laura McCarthy), being asked by WEAC President Mary Bell to join WEAC’s leadership team with System’s Thinking initiatives, being elected Chairperson of the state UniServ President’s group, starting a website for our UniServ, having Rep. Steve Kagen visit New London schools to discuss NCLB, offering help to our members with PI-34, attending the Hortonville reunion with many members who lost their jobs during the strike in 1974, bargaining with our WEAC and UniServ staff as part of the UEA team, being involved in many elections and having successes of late, striking a nerve with members by sharing frustrations of teaching, providing a program to activate new members called Emerging Voices, having a successful legislative breakfast at FVTC, and becoming involved with the School Finance Network to change school funding. I hope you didn’t try to read the list in one breath, because the list is long. None of this could have been accomplished without the work of many local members and those on the WEAC-FV Board of Directors. Most of this could not have been done without the help of our hardworking and professional staff. I want to publicly thank Hank (Henry) Krokosky, Terri Trimbell, Debbie Armitage, and Laura McCarthy. Without their efforts and dedication, much of what was accomplished would not have happened or would not have been successful. My job as president was doable because of all four of these people. Thank you all for having confidence in me. I plan to stay involved. I know how much needs to yet be done and I can’t close my eyes to that. I will be New London’s local president for the next two years. I know the importance of involving our locals. Without activism in our locals, the efforts of WEAC or our UniServ won’t really make much of a difference. It all comes down to each of us as individuals. To those stepping up to the plate to lead our UniServ in the future, thank you for doing so. I promise, as a union member, to help in the efforts that will keep our schools strong. Together we can face the challenges ahead.

Cunningham, Dickinson, Watson Commemorative Staff Award Henry Krokosky is a master negotiator! Over the last 32 years, Hank has been responsible for negotiating and providing a solid foundation for all WEAC-Fox Valley contracts. He has always been willing to adapt to changing political and cultural trends without selling our basic union principals. Henry’s interaction and leadership with WEAC, the WEA Trust and other UniServ Directors allows him to be a strong advocate for members’ wages, benefits and conditions of employment. He has a straightforward approach to his advocacy regarding members with some dry humor added. Henry is admired by his colleagues for his willingness to take the lead on behalf of staff and on behalf of members. Former Appleton Education Association President Katie Stout put it best: “Henry has been the premier UniServ Director in Wisconsin for these last three decades-plus, Henry’s ability to work effectively with school administrators resulted in many achievements and improvements beyond those gained in the bargaining process. When challenges call for toughness, he is as tough as they come! I can think of no one in our union who better exemplifies the best characteristics of the three gentlemen whose careers inspired this award.” Congratulations Henry! Educational Support Personnel Award This award was presented to Mary Koepsel who shows outstanding accomplishments by being a participating citizen of a democratic society, by being an active member at all levels of the association, by using innovations to support the day-to-day education process and by showing exemplary ways of helping children in or outside the school and by exhibiting professional achievements. Mary epitomizes the kind person the Educational Support Personnell Award should go to. She is a caring, generous, smart and perceptive lady. She shares these qualities not only with her colleagues, the students she helps on a daily basis, her friends, and her family, but also with people she meets wherever she goes. Mary welcomes new friendships and builds upon them, not only on a personal level, but on a local, state and national union level. Mary is an educator, a union activist, a supporter of what is right and just for educators and education. Mary has worn many hats. She serves on the WEAC-Fox Valley Board of Directors, has been a delegate to the WEAC and NEA Representative Assemblies, and more. Mary is not afraid to speak on behalf of all ESPs when she says “ESPs provide quality education to our school children and are one of the reasons we have great schools.” Noelle Mudrak, who works with Mary at Horizon’s Elementary School said, “Mary comes to school each day with a wonderful attitude and she inspires us. She sees the potential in every student she works with, especially the most challenging ones.” Mary inspires people to stop complaining about something they don’t like and instead, do something to change it. She leads by example and it makes others around her want to do the same thing. Congratulations Mary!

President’s Award Kim Jordan, WEAC-Fox Valley UniServ President was

one of seven recipients for this award. Congratulations Kim!

WEAC-Fox Valley Travel Committee http://www.athenet.net/~mesh

The above website has many links that you will find useful. If you have travel suggestions you would like to share, please email Thomas Kreif at mesh@athenet.net. (Subject “travel”).

The WEAC-Fox Valley Travel Committee has met for the past four years. Committee membership is open to all active and retired members. Our scheduled meetings for the 2009-2010 school year are: Sep. 9, Oct. 14, Nov. 11, Jan. 13, Feb. 10, Mar. 10, and May 12. All our meetings are scheduled for Wednesday mornings at 9:30 a.m. at Mary’s North in Appleton. One of our readers sent me an e-mail describing their experience at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas: “When we checked in, we asked for a free upgrade from a standard room with two beds, they gave us a suite for no extra charge. When we went to pick up our rental car, we received another free upgrade from a midsize to a full-size.” Hotels and other industries are experiencing the down turn of the economy. Now is the time to take advantage of these bargains. Paradise without a passport is still possible on the cheap. Instead of thinking of a Caribbean escape, there is a home option. AARP: the Magazine: “The American Caribbean—the Florida Keys, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands – has white sand beaches better than many of those in the British and French West Indies.” Disney World is offering a promotion that provides for all meals during your stay through fall. According to Money Magazine: “…Airfarewatchdog.com scours every airline website the old-fashioned way – and finds some amazing deals the other miss.” Because of liability issues, WEAC-Fox Valley Retired cannot and shall not sponsor any cruises and/or other travel activities. However, if you are interested in taking one of the following cruises, you will be traveling with me, and of course have access to Creative Group Travel Agency in Appleton by contacting Lori O’Keefe at 920-739-8851. 1. Nov. 21 – Dec. 12 (3 weeks), Celebrity Century cruise starting at just under

$5400 for two people in an inside cabin for a seven day Western Mediterranean cruise followed by a Transatlantic Cruise. Airfare from Milwaukee and back is included along with all meals, transfers, and trip insurance. Tips, land excursions, and of course alcoholic drinks are extra. Ports of call include: Barcelona, Cannes, Portofino, Florence/Pisa, Rome, Naples/Capri, Cartagena (Spain), Gibraltar, Madeira (Portugal), Tenerife (Canary Islands), La Palma (Canary Islands), and Miami.

2. Feb. 20 – Feb. 27 Disney Magic Western Caribbean cruise starting at $2525 for two people in an inside cabin for seven days including all meals, transfers, and trip insurance. Tips, air to Orlando and back, land excursions, and of course alcoholic drinks are extra. Ports of call are: Port Canaveral, Key West, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and Castaway Cay (Disney’s private island).

3. Feb. 27 – Mar. 6 Disney Magic Eastern Caribbean cruise starting at $2300 for two people in an inside cabin for seven days including all meals, transfers, and trip insurance. Tips, air to Orlando and back, land excursions, and of course alcoholic drinks are extra. Ports of call are: Port Canaveral, St. Maarten, St. Thomas/John, and Castaway Cay (Disney’s private island).

For more information on the cruises, please refer to the travel website for further information: http://my.athenet.net/~mesh. Celebrity Century offers elegant traveling with very few teenagers or children, and of course has a casino. The Disney Magic offers bingo, has no other gambling, is themed toward Disney, and has Broadway style shows. I enjoy cruising on both. Inside cabins are the best deal. Think about how much time you actually spend in a cabin. Obviously taking any of these cruises with me will allow you to have a person to contact with questions and concerns.

Paycheck hike may bite back April 15 “Making Work Pay” benefit not in line with IRS codes By Stephen Ohlemacher, Post Crescent associated Press Writer, 51/09 Millions of Americans enjoying their small windfall from President Barack Obama’s “Making Work Pay” tax credit are in for an unpleasant surprise next spring. The government is going to want some of that money back. The tax credit is supposed to provide up to $400 to individuals and $800 to married couples as part of the massive economic recovery package enacted in February. Most workers started receiving the credit through small increases in their paychecks in the past month. But new tax withholding tables issued by the IRS could cause millions of tax-payers to get hundreds of dollars more than they are entitled to under the credit, money that will have to be repaid at tax time. At-risk taxpayers include a broad swath of the public: married couples in which both spouses work; workers with more than one job; retirees who have federal income taxes withheld from their pension payments and Social Security recipients with jobs that provide taxable income. The Internal Revenue Service acknowledges problems with the withholding tables but has done little to warn average taxpayers. “They need to get the Goodyear blimp out there on this,” said Tom Ochsenschlager, vice president of taxation for the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. For many, the new tax tables will simply mean smaller-than-expected tax refunds next year, IRS spokesman Terry Lemons said. The average refund was nearly $2,700 this year. But taxpayers who calculate their withholding so they get only small refunds could face an unwelcome tax bill next April, said Jackie Perlman, an analyst with the Tax Institute at H&R Block. “They are going to get a surprise,” she said. Perlman’s advice: check your federal withholding to make sure sufficient taxes are being taken out of your pay. If you are married and both spouses work, you might consider having taxes withheld at the higher rate for single filers. If you have multiple jobs, you might consider having extra taxes withheld by one of your employers. You can make that request with a Form W-4.

The Secrets of Successful Aging-Part VI of VI What Science Tells Us About Growing Older -- And Staying Healthy By TARA PARKER-POPE, Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL June 20, 2005; Page R1 What Do We Do About It? Clearly stress takes a significant physical toll on our bodies. Complicating matters is the fact that not only does stress appear to accelerate aging, but also the older we get, the longer it takes for our bodies to turn off the stress response. So while managing stress is important at any age, it's absolutely crucial as we get older. So how do we do it? The first step, of course, is to cover the basics -- eat well, manage your weight and exercise. If you take care of yourself, you're essentially giving stress less to work with -- a healthy body is more resilient against the onslaught of stress. But that's not enough. At some point in life, everyone faces chronic stress -- whether it's uncertainty at work, in a marriage or about health. Successful agers have faced the same stressors as the rest of us. They just have better coping skills. The good news is that the rest of us can change and learn better coping strategies. SEEK CONTROL WHEN YOU CAN. The issue of control -- or the lack of it -- is a common theme among stress researchers. Successful agers typically feel in control of their day-to-day lives, but they don't fret about issues they can't control. In his book "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers," Dr. Sapolsky cites a nursing-home study in which one group of residents was given far more control over their daily lives. They were given responsibility for meals, social activities and even caring for plants in their rooms. Soon, those residents became noticeably more active, more engaged in social activities and were generally happier. Death rates among the residents given more control were half that of other residents during the study period. Animal studies show that losing control can also produce a powerful physical reaction. In one experiment, rats are taught to press a lever to avoid a mild shock. Remove the lever and the rat becomes highly stressed. Simply disconnect the lever and the rat is less stressed. Even though both rats are being shocked, the rat with the nonworking lever feels more control over the situation and produces fewer stress hormones than the rat with no lever at all. The lesson is that stress is easier to cope with -- and produces fewer physical effects -- if we feel a sense of control. So while work stress is inevitable, it's less harmful if you can control various aspects of your day -- such as when you take a lunch break or the type of projects you want to work on. INFORMATION CAN RELIEVE STRESS. Stress doesn't take as much of a toll if we can predict it. For instance, the nervous public speakers loosened up after a few days of the task. They knew what to expect, and they were less stressed. In rat studies, animals given food on a predictable schedule become highly stressed when given the same amount of food on a random schedule.

(Continued on page 10)

Propeller page 10

The Secrets of Successful Aging (continued) The lesson is to seek accurate information in the face of a stressful situation. If you are worried about a job layoff and uncertainty at work, arm yourself with information about the job market and opportunities elsewhere. If you are facing cancer, long-term fears are certain to cause stress, but you can minimize the overall stress of the illness by learning about treatments and side effects so you know what to expect. KEEP FRIENDS AND FAMILY CLOSE. Baboons that take part in social grooming have lower blood pressure. Breast-cancer patients who join support groups have lower stress-hormone levels. And the nervous public speakers had lower blood pressure if they had a friend in the audience. Study after study shows social support makes a measurable difference in how we cope with stress and how we age. EXERCISE YOU HATE WON'T HELP AS MUCH AS EXERCISE YOU LIKE. Exercise is the solution for pretty much every health problem, but it especially makes sense in dealing with stress. That's because the stress response is all about boosting energy to the muscles, so using those muscles during exercise is the obvious outlet for releasing stress. But exercise, by definition, is a form of stress. If you overdo it, you're not helping yourself. At the same time, finding an exercise you like not only will increase the likelihood you will stick with it, but also may give you more benefit. Studies show that rats freely allowed to trot on the exercise wheel have lower stress hormones. But rats forced onto the wheel are stressed by the experience and end up with a high stress response. In terms of exercise and stress reduction, it's also important to know that the benefits of exercise disappear almost overnight. "It's the exercise you're doing now that's important," Dr. Snowden says. "If you were a college athlete, it's not going to do anything for you in middle age." The good news is that it's never too late to reap the benefits of exercising. In fact, the older you are, the more immediate benefit you get from exercise. GET MORE SLEEP. When you start to lose sleep, your body responds the way it always does in a crisis -- it activates the stress response. It has been shown that sleep deprivation increases allostatic load. Study subjects who get only four hours of sleep for several nights had higher nighttime levels of cortisol and blood glucose -- indicating higher allostatic load. But let the participants sleep 10 to 12 hours a night and the allostatic load disappears. PICK AND CHOOSE YOUR STRESS RELIEF. In the end, everyone deals with stress and aging differently. Stress-management classes, meditation, massage, yoga, religious services -- all of them can relieve stress in the right person and cause stress in the wrong one. A person with a cynical outlook on life might find a touchy-feely stress-management course discomfiting. Few experiences are more stressful than trying to keep up with a fast-paced aerobics class -- but some people love the experience. "Even successful agers differ according to how they handle their life experiences," Dr. Snowden says. "It's something individuals have to manage themselves. You know if you're in trouble."
