TOBACCO: What is it costing you?
Smoking might cost you more than money.
Each year, using tobacco causes about 1 out of 5 deaths in the
United States. In fact, smoking cigarettes kills more Americans than
alcohol, car accidents, HIV, guns, and illegal drugs combined.
IT’S NOT JUST DEATHS. SMOKING AFFECTS A PERSON’S HEALTH IN MANY WAYS.

also affects the heart and blood vessels, increasing even your pets.
HOW MUCH DOES SMOKING COST IN DOLLARS AND CENTS?
Let’s say someone smokes a pack a day (20 cigarettes)
In the United States, the average cost of a pack of cigarettes is $6.36.
• In one month, that’s about $191.
• In one year, that’s about $2,300.
• In 10 years, that’s about $23,000.

QUITTING TOBACCO ISN’T EASY, BUT IT CAN BE DONE.
Quitting smoking is not easy, but help is available to get you on the right track.
To have the best chance of quitting and helping reduce your cancer risk, you
need to have a plan and know what you’re up against, what your options are,
and where to go for help.

Getting
to know our Team
Meet Rhonda and Chad Schmidt
H ello everyone! We are Rhonda and Chad
Schmidt from Winneconne, about 45 minutes
southeast of King. We both have been volunteering
at the Wisconsin Veterans Home since 2009. Chad
is just shy of 1,000 hours and myself with over 187
hours.
My husband of 25 years, Chad, is retired. I still
work full time for AMCOR Flexibles North America
in Oshkosh. We are both in our 50’s, and have
two cats and two dogs that we occasionally enjoy
bringing to King for a visit.
Chad volunteers weekly to play cribbage with one of our Olson Hall members, deals Poker
on Tuesdays, and assists with other social events. I enjoy visiting those members who do
not get regular visitors, and also volunteer for social events. I am able to volunteer once or
twice a year with my fellow co-workers by sewing projects for the Veterans Home during our
lunch breaks. In June, we were able to sew 57 catheter bags. I am blessed to work with such
wonderful and talented ladies!
Chad and I are both veterans ourselves. We enjoy biking and gardening, and Chad loves to
golf and competitive shoot. I also volunteer with various church activities, serve as church
treasurer, and volunteer with ministry for Kairos Outside prison ministry.
Building relationships with the members at King enables us to give of ourselves in a small way,
which gives us such peace. We know our efforts mean so much to the members.

Chaplain’s Column WISCONSIN VETERANS HOME AT KING
John Roe
Protestant Chaplain
What Do We Do?
W hat do you do when you don’t know what to do? What is your response to new trends,
new realities, differences of opinion, and this fast-paced world in which we live? Most of us
don’t like change, in fact, we resist change. In the church world we see denominations, as well as
individuals, that would much rather stick to dead traditions than have a healthy, vital, relationship
with the living Christ.
There is a level of comfort in knowing that certain things are going to happen at certain times
and in a certain way. We get attached to the familiar and can be upset, or even devastated, when
changes come. The bubble in which we live is our ‘safe’ place. A place where things go according
to our plan, and we feel that we have a measure of control. In that place we feel our individual
needs are being met in a way that we find satisfactory.
The Old Testament Jews had a multitude of traditions and laws that governed everything they
did. Everybody knew what was happening and what would happen if they strayed from the
norm. When Jesus came on the scene, He rattled them because He didn’t follow their norms in the
traditional ways. In fact, He told the religious leader, Nicodemus, he had to be “born again” in order
to be part of the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus immediately pushed back, “How is this possible?” Jesus explained that there was a
new way of looking at things and it would be like starting all over again. Unlearning some of the
things that you know in order to make room for the truth is a daunting thing. How could you have
missed it so badly? Why didn’t someone show you this truth earlier.
Jesus further challenged those around Him by stating, “I am the way the truth and the life. No man
comes to the Father but by me.” (John 14:6) To the Jews that was blasphemy and was one of the
reasons that they had to eliminate Him. He was upsetting the way they had always done things.

What Do We Do? continued from page 9
Each of us needs to study the scriptures for ourselves. The truth is in the Word of God and is
discoverable. There are study guides and daily devotionals available here on Camp. Ask about
receiving your copy of either, PORTALS OF PRAYER, OUR DAILY BREAD OR LIVING FAITH. If you
would like another study guide, please call the Spiritual Care Office and we will do our best to work
with you on it.
Change is easier to accept if you are aware that it is coming and can be as prepared as possible for
the transition. By studying God’s Word, you will be prepared for the things to come and will learn
how to cope with the things that have already happened.
Being prepared spiritually for changes will help you to be prepared emotionally and physically.
When you are in a spiritual safe place, having confidence that God is in control, you can keep your
peace of mind while others are losing theirs.
What do you do when you don’t know what to do? Study God’s Word and take it to the Lord in
prayer. Often what we think is going to be really bad can actually turn out to be really good.
