 Benefit To Be Held For Warren Schreifels By Logan Bernstein
A benefit will be held for the family of Warren and Lisa (Flicek) Schreifels on Saturday, January 14th, 2012. Warren was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer in October of 2011. A relatively rare form of cancer, esophageal cancer is extremely hard to detect in the early stages, making it extremely hard to treat effectively. There are 5 stages of the cancer and stage 4 is the most serious. At this stage, the cancer has metastasized, or spread to other areas of the body and becomes extremely difficult to treat. Diagnosed in October, Warren began undergoing chemotherapy, which was then halted in favor of radiation therapy. “He’s doing okay,” said Lisa. “He’s having radiant treatments in some spots and in his brain, so he has trouble focusing sometimes and he’s always really exhausted.” A Coyote Gives Last Howl Thanks to Jim Davis By Mary Ann Henry
In Minnesota if you live in rural area, and if you go outdoors in the evening, you more than likely have heard a loud howling. This howling comes from a wild animal or animals that has moved in recent years into our area and is classified as belonging to the canine family and is related to the dog. I’m sure no dog would want to claim being related to them, especially my little Billy. This animal is a coyote and you may remember about me telling in the winter of 2011 one came into my yard and tried to get Billy who foolishly acted very brave not realizing the danger he was facing with this much bigger creature. Looking back two to three decades if someone had said this area in south eastern Minnesota would soon become overrun with coyotes, I’m sure I most likely would have laughed and said no way. But, as they say, the one who laughs last, laughs best and that one wouldn’t have been me I now realize. We know things do change and so it is when it comes to coyotes now being seen and heard in the area. The coyote stands 16 to 24 inches high has a bushy tail, erect ears with yellowish gray fur tipped with black. The coyote, along with the fox, wolf and the dog, all belong to the canine family.
