Veninga said he told a of pastors that churches help in the beginning, but people often need help six months to a year later. Some people never recapture a sense of enthusiasm for life, but they are a distinct minority, he said. One man whose son died told Veninga that he still was depressed and bitter, but realized that 18 years with his son was better than no time.
Three strategies prove valuable in surviving a difficult time or helping others, Veninga said. First, people need a strong support system, he said. "People who have at least one good friend manage to survive a tragedy," he said. A problem with modern society is that people tend to be lonely and disconnected, with more acquaintances than friends, he said. Besides good friends, people need to realize that they do not lose everything when tragedy strikes, he said.
He, also advised people not to make problems any bigger than they are. "You need to be gentle with yourself after tragedy occurs. People often are hard on themselves," he said. By Blythe Bjerkeset Leader-Telegram staff Recovering from a crisis takes longer than people realize, says a noted author and educator. Robert Veninga, author of "A Gift of Hope: How We Survive Our Tragedies," addressed the convocation of the 11th annual Chippewa Valley Communiversity Sunday at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
A close friend's death in 1983 led Veninga to study how people deal with tragedy. He surveyed people who had experienced crises such as serious illness, family con-, death of a relative or close friend. From his studies, Veninga identified five stages people undergo after a tragedy. The first few days people have difficulty concentrating and having meaningful conversation. This is followed by a time of deliberate activity, in which people have a strong desire to re-establish 'their life and begin to think about the future.
People do not allow enough time to grieve, he said. Most people realize their tragedy months, or even a year, afterwards, Veninga said. His friend's death sunk in while he was teaching a class, and he cried in front of his students. This stage brings two, emotions: anger at life's injustice and an overwhelming sense of loneliness, he said. Married couples often encounter conflict because each copes with the tragedy differently, he said.
However, most are able to move past this point. After recognition of the tragedy comes an awakening. People realize something terrible has happened, but they will survive, he said. The final stage is acceptance and healing, which can come two or Carol Craig Lone incumbent in field Party time Staff photo by Jason Tetzloff Norm and Judy Gilmer of Eau Claire help themselves to shrimp and oysters Sunday during the Mardi Gras Gala at Oakwood Mall.

Kenneth Moucha, 45, Route Cadott. had originally filed a mo tion that claimed Chippewa County judges had no jurisdiction to decide the matter, in part, because the yellow fringe on the flag in the Chippewa County Circuit Court courtroom designates a maritime flag. Moucha said an international court or the U.S. Supreme Court were the only courts that would have jurisdiction to hear the case.
He asked for dismissal of the charges. In a motions hearing last month. Judge Richard H. Stafford denied the motion for dismissal, saying he did not understand the allegations. Last week, Moucha filed another motion claiming that Stafford should disqualify himself from hearing the case because he could not understand the flag motion and is, therefore, "incompetent." In this morning's trial, Stafford denied Moucha's motion to disqualify himself because the day of a trial is too late to argue motions.
The motions should have been filed and a hearing held on them earlier, said Stafford. Moucha then walked out of the courtroom. Stafford found him guilty of the charge and ordered him to pay a fine of $98.60 within 30 days. i Moucha was cited by a Department of Natural Resources warden Nov. 27 for allegedly having an uncased gun in his truck whife in the town of Arthur.
If Moucha does not pay the forfeiture within 30 days, a warrant for his arrest could be issued. Snowmobiler killed Mark L. Goeke. 3 1 of Fairmont. died Saturday when his Snowmobile collided witha truck on a road in the town, of Jackson, the Burnett CountySheriff's Department said.

"People who have a record have to speak for their past actions," says Craig, whose past actions include serving as school board treasurer since 1984, chairing board-appointed committees on transportation and the "tobacco-, free schools" concept, and serving on the Wisconsin Social Studies Advisory Council and the Wisconsin Association of School Boards' State Goals Committee.

You heed to go beyond that single issue and find out who that person really is." In this year's school board election, Craig fears money may be an overly dominant issue. There has been much discussion in recent months about the effect of school spending on local property taxes.
A school board proposal to enact an estimated $5.3 million construction plan to deal with the district's projected enrollment increases will go before voters in a referendum later this spring. "I have a great respect for the people of Eau Claire," Craig says. "The vast majority of people seat Twin Beech or the eight-seat King Air 200, nicknamed "Bucky 1" because Thompson has first dibs on it. "I think it's a good idea.

Craig, 37, of. 891 Black Oak Road, is' the sole incumbent entered in the Feb. 16 primary election that will trim the field of six candidates vying for two seats on the Eau Claire Area Board of Education. The top four finishers, in the primary will enter the final efection on April 5.
Craij is seeking her third term on said in a Jan. 29 memorandum to state agency heads. Klauser soon will allow the use of private charters only when state planes cannot accommodate travel needs, the memorandum said. In addition, Klauser said in an interview that the state is considering regularly scheduled shuttle services. Under one tentative schedule distributed to legislators, the flights would be timed to drop bureaucrats off in Eau Claire and Superior on Monday afternoons and pick up lawmakers for the ride back to Madison early in the evening.
On Tuesdays, the shuttle would leave Madison for Rhinelander, returning via the Central Wisconsin airport at Mosiriee, then head back through Mosinee, Rhinelander, Superior and Eau Claire before again returning to Madison.

But a check last week of some potential users of the proposed Wisconsin Air Service indicated it could be short of passengers despite super-saver rates. "With the luck they've had with these planes, no thank you," joked Rep.
David Paulson was referring to several close calls with state planes through the years, including the malfunctioning landing gear on a Piper Navajo carrying Gov. Tommy G. Thompson last April. However, Administration Secretary James Klauser is intent on saving the state treasury money by using the four planes in the state's newly consolidated air fleet. "Since we are working to make the Air Services operation a cost-effective and efficient service for -all users, I am asking that you and your staff limit the use of private charters for air travel," Klauser 11AYTAG APPLIANCES Best Price In town.
