This Day in History: 1945-At 2:10 p.m. on December 5, 1945, five U.S. Navy Avenger torpedo-bombers comprising Flight 19 take off from the Ft. Lauderdale Naval Air Station in Florida on a routine three-hour training mission. They never returned. The disappearance of the 14 men of Flight 19 and the 13 men of the Mariner led to one of the largest air and seas searches to that date, and hundreds of ships and aircraft combed thousands of square miles of the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and remote locations within the interior of Florida. No trace of the bodies or aircraft was ever found.
Word of the Day: Leonine, adjective, means "of, relating to, or resembling a lion." She spent hours in the bathroom trying to detangle her leonine tresses.

This Day in History: Brady Bill signed into law-1993. During a White House ceremony attended by James S. Brady, President Bill Clinton signs the Brady handgun-control bill into law. The law requires a prospective handgun buyer to wait five business days while the authorities check on his or her background, during which time the sale is approved or prohibited based on an established set of criteria.
Word of the Day: Temerity, noun, is a formal word that means "unreasonable or foolhardy contempt of danger or opposition"; it is a synonym of both rashness and recklessness. Temerity can also refer to a rash or reckless act. The line between boldness and temerity is sometimes only evident after the consequences have become clear. The previous night's temerity had landed the students in detention.

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - Ithaca Public Schools senior Natashia Mueller raised $1,500 to help UW Carbone Cancer Center patients feel better by crafting chemo care packages and delivering them. Mueller calls her organization One Hand Helps Another because her family once needed help when her mother was diagnosed with cancer nine years ago.
The 18-year-old included candy, deodorant, perfume, cologne and a note inside each gift that she dropped off at the Carbone Center on Nov. 18.
Mueller delivered the gifts to the Carbone Center’s front desk, but did not see who the packages went to. She was not expecting a response, but a mother of two battling Stage 2 breast cancer thanked Natashia via Facebook messenger.
”I do it because cancer patients mean so much to me because they always fight for their lives and they will never give up on themselves until they have to,” Mueller said. ”I do not want to see people go through what my mom went through. When she had to be alone it was the hardest thing to ever watch.”
Her mother is doing well and helps Natashia sell homemade cheesecake, cookies and puppy chow at bake sales to raise money for the chemo care packages.
Mueller plans to attend UW Platteville next fall in the hopes of pursuing a career in physical therapy.
She said she plans to return home to Hillpoint (20 minutes outside of Richland Center) to raise money and deliver chemo care packages.
She said anyone interested in helping or donating should message her on Facebook.
UW Health Carbone Center created a list of donations they always need if people are interested in helping the hospital directly.
