Kids werent the only ones who got to sit on Santas

lap at the Kids Community Christmas Party Dec. 7.

Cornell Police Officer Barb Close told Old Saint

Nick her secret wish for Christmas. Santa didnt say

for sure if Close was on the naughty or nice list, but

since she is a member of law enforcement, she just

might be on the good list. Whether or not Officer

Close received a candy cane to take on her rounds

has yet to be determined. See more holiday pic-

tures from the area on Page 20.

Vandals hit Cadotts Riverview Park, again

By Heather Dekan

Vandals once again hit Riverview Park in Cadott, damag-

ing many of the Christmas lights and throwing one of the dec-

orative signs in the river. The same thing happened in 2012,

and the Cadott Chamber of Commerce did not light the park

in 2013 because of the vandalism.

Iwant to bring awareness to this,said Therea Pries, sec-

retary and treasurer of the Cadott Chamber of Commerce.

We do this for the community, and unfortunately its the

community that is hurting.

The night of the Winter Wonderland event held at the park

Dec. 7, vandals cut cords on Christmas lights hung on trees,

and knocked over displays.

In 2012, Pries said a few younger kids were caught on top

of the pavilion unscrewing light bulbs and stomping on them

inside of the pavilion. She also said they had to throw away

almost 30 strands of lights that year.

I dont know if the community knew how bad the vandal-

ism actually was in 2012, said Pries.

Damage from two years ago also included Christmas dis-

plays damaged and thrown in the river, along with sign stands

destroyed.

Because of the damage caused in 2012, which was about

$500 worth,said Pries, we didnt light the park last year.

The Cadott Chamber of Commerce decided to put the

lights back up this year, but have already seen approximately

$150 worth of damage since Nov. 9.

Ive already replaced 10 of the spotlight bulbs, said Pries.

They take them out, stomp on them, then throw them in the

river.

Id like the community to be aware, and if you see some-

one down there doing something they shouldnt be, please

call it in or say something.

Cadott Police Officer DarylPries says there have been no

tips yet, but they are always talking to people and asking for

Vandals took one of the Santa displays in Riverview

Park sometime since Nov. 9, and threw it in the Yel-

low River. Ice had frozen over top of it by the time

it was found and Santa had to be chipped out (inset

right). Other damage, which amounted to about

$150 already this year, included Christmas light

cords cut and light bulbs smashed.

Cornell City Council

Council adopts new

disposal ordinance

By Ginna Young

At the Cornell City Council meeting Dec. 4, the council

voted to adopt ordinance #14-6 on disposal of surplus city

equipment and tools. Guidelines on disposal of city property

was recognized over the summer, when the council was di-

vided on how to sell a wheel loader.

The new ordinance allows set definitions on how equip-

ment should be disposed of, such as donation to a non-profit

organization, public auction or sale, and trade in. It was also

agreed to advertise in the city newspaper before calling for

bids or putting the item(s) on an online site.

It would allow folks in the local community to submit

bids, said Steve Turany, council member. Its making sure

the Ts are crossed and the Is are dotted.

The council also heard an update on the 2014 tax roll,

which shows a drop from last year.

With the reduction of the school levy and the vocational

school levy, our mil rate dropped from roughly $21.32 a thou-

sand to $18.45, said Dave DeJongh, city administrator. The

scene reduction is over that 12-13 percent mark this year in

real estate/personal property taxes; its almost a $3 per thou-

sand drop.

DeJongh also reminded residents that although there are

six people who have filed papers to run for city council seats,

residents are only allowed to sign as many papers as there

are positions open, which in this case is three. Up for re-elec-

tion are Glen Logan, Floyd Hickethier and Mark Nodolf.

I understand there are more people running for council,

and in case I lose, I want to appreciate everybody from work-

ing with you, council member Glen Logan said.

You can always come in, those chairs are always avail-

able, said Mayor Judy Talbot.

Because the first regular meeting falls on New Years Day,

the council agreed to change dates of the meeting to Jan. 8,

and Jan. 22. The regular schedule of the first and third Thurs-

days will resume in February.

Cadott School BoardSchool district considers

early student graduation

By Kayla Peche

This year Cadott School District received a transfer senior

student from Eau Claire, who may meet the criteria to grad-

uate earlier than the rest of the class.

Damon Smith, Cadott district administrator, said the dis-

trict does not currently have an early graduation requirement

option in their policy, but an appeal from the administrator

creates a loop hole.

If the child meets the criteria for graduation and decides

he no longer wants to go to schoolI would come to the

board and appeal for his early graduation, Smith said. I just

wanted you to be aware of the loop hole.

Smith says he recommends the policy committee looks at

OPINIONThursday, December 11, 2014COURIER SENTINELPage 2By Monique Westaby

Managing Editor

As I worked on my

Hound Talk story for the

outdoor publication Trapand Trail, I came acrosssome disturbing posts on-

line. Ive known this was

going around online for some time, but Id

avoided the site like it was the plague.

Today, I braved the unknown and typed in

the name, curious at what information I would

come across.

Wolf Patrol.

It had 4,807 likes at the time (now at

4,997), and the site boasts the organization

works to document and prevent wolf hunts in

the face of the removal of federal protection

for these important and vital predators in North

America.

While the patrol works toward preventing

wolf hunts, they follow hunters around, not

only keeping the hunters accountable for their

actions, but taking photographic evidence as

well.

At first glance, this isnt a bad idea. Every

hunter should remain legal no matter who is

watching. But, as Ive learned over my life-

time, when youre looking for something to be

wrong, you will find something wrong

whether it is or isnt.

As part of the Wolf Patrols efforts, mem-

bers followed hunters to the woods, restaurants

and even their homes. Complaints on social

media sites questioned posting license plates,

and one article from the organization pic-

tured trucks parked in a driveway at a home.

The photo, which featured four trucks, ran

alongside an article discussing how the ac-

tivists would continue monitoring the wolf

hunt and patrol areas open to hound hunting

for illegal activity and snaring.

It then goes on to discuss a suspected illegal

wolf trap, and how the state would not close

all zones, even when the statewide quota

neared 150. The article is geared toward

wolf activists, and the photo appeared to go

along with the illegal activity spoke of in the

piece.

One member of the social media site (from

a different group) posted a link to the article

and photo, proclaiming this was his truck, and

they were doing deer drives, not wolf hunting.

The photo has since been removed from the

article, but it goes to prove that if youre look-

ing for something, you will find it whether

you did or not.

As I followed the Wolf Patrol posts Thurs-

day, outrage ensued over why the DNR would

keep Zones 3 and 6 open, when the statewide

wolf quota (150) had nearly been met by other

zones. If you know me, you know Im better

off to keep my mouth shut. If you know me,

you know I dont.

I took the initiative to explain this to the

group by posting my own opinion: Althoughthe state quota is nearly full, closing a zone be-fore its quota is met does not meet the require-ments that pertain to why a certain quota wasset for that zone. The DNR did not decide 150wolves need to be taken from all of Wisconsinno matter where, they decided a specifiednumber needs to be taken from a specifiedzone. Taking 10 wolves from a southern zonedoes not help the northern zone quotas.

The conversation quickly turned to name

calling (not from me) and posts by observers

from both sides speaking from the heart and

not the brain. Phrases were slung around from

the security of a computer screen; things that

most likely would never be said to someones

face.

As the ranting continued, an update was

posted by the group: GREAT NEWS! Thanksto everyone who called the Wisconsin DNRthis morning asking for Zone 3 to be closed towolf hunting before the weekend...Thank youto all who called and put pressure on the DNRto close these zones before the wolf kill quotawas once again exceeded.

By Kayla Peche

Most people look to re-

lationships for love, sup-

port and affirmation, but

research shows a persons

self-esteem may signifi-

cantly impact a relation-

ships potential.

So, should you rely on someone else for yourhappiness?

In psychology, self-esteem is defined as a re-

flection of a persons overall self-appraisal and

own worth. When people have low self-esteem

(LSE) however, they are anxiously unsure of

themselves and likely even question if they are

loveable.

A person with LSE tries to find an answer to

this question by looking to others. They will

watch the others behavior, listen to their

words and tone of voice, mentally recording

ways that person acts toward them. In the end,

the LSE person is only coming up with con-

clusions that are inaccurate.

Sometimes, the other person who is looked

at for love, does not act in ways an LSE person

would think indicates love. The other person

may want personal space or not need their

partner for the same confidence boost. This

leads to LSEbehaviors such as trying harder

to please to win love and attention, becoming

angry when they dont get what they need and

feeling they deserve bad treatment.

All of these things are not healthy for theperson or relationship.

In a series of studies by Murray, Holmes,

MacDonald and Ellsworth in Through theLooking Glass Darkly? When Self-DoubtsTurn Into Relationship Insecurities, re-searchers used Rosenburgs Self-Esteem Scale

to differentiate groups, finding that no matter

how they adjust variables, self-esteem affects

not only a persons perception of themselves,

but also impacts expectations of the partner

and the tone of the relationship.

The study consistently documented that al-

though those with LSE want affirmation from

partners and need the relationship as a source

of acceptance, their self-doubts translate into

relationship insecurities. Ultimately, ruining

the benefits to self-esteem that a loving rela-

tionship can offer.

According to an article written by licensed

psychologist Suzanne Phillips, high self-es-

There was no way the DNR had closed

these zones because of the calls received from

the Wolf Patrol organization. To confirm my

suspicions, I contacted David MacFarland, the

large carnivore specialist with the DNR that

Wolf Patrol had asked everyone to call.

His response came as no shock. He had been

out of the office until Friday, and no one had

received any of the 20 or 30 calls until after the

decision was made to close the remaining

zones. In fact, MacFarland said calling him

doesnt help with making a change like that,

since he said, I dont even make the deci-

sion.

MacFarland said he does encourage citizens

to get involved, and that zones were closed

when the 150th wolf was observed. Interest-ing, I thought.

If you know me, it takes a bit for me to

admit I was wrong, but if I am, eventually I

will own up to it. So although it hurts to say

this, I was wrong.

But being wrong spun the wheels in my

brain.

I was wrong about my opinion on why

zones hadnt been closed. The Wolf Patrol was

wrong about their assumption of what those

trucks were doing in the picture. Neither of us

really knew exactly what we were talking

about, but we sure had a strong opinion about

the situation.

As much as I disagree with the group, Im

glad to see people standing up for what they

believe in. My only hope is that the hunters

and hounders will also take the same initiative.

The 2014-15 wolf season, which runs Oct.

15 through Feb. 28, once again closed, like the

2013-14 season, before the new year was rung

in. Last season (and the 2012-13 season) ended

Dec. 23; this year, nearly a month sooner, 154

wolves were taken and season closed Dec. 5.

The DNR continues to monitor the wolf

population and, until the wolf population goal

(350 set in 1999) is met, seasons will continue

to reduce population numbers that is, if

hunters continue to fight for their rights

A call to fight for your rights, whatever they may be

teem partners are much more accurate in their

perceptions. A person with LSE may want their

partners to see them in a better light, but un-

derestimate how positively their partners see

them. This is just like a person who cant take

a compliment because they dont feel that way

about themselves.

One step in the right direction is admittingyour insecurities and having some self reflec-tion.

There are many benefits associated with

having good self-esteem, not just for your re-

lationships, but also for yourself. Good self-es-

teem isnt something that can happen

overnight.

According to reachout.com, here are some

ways to build and maintain healthy self-es-

teem:

Acceptance Everyone has their faults andweaknesses, but you dont have to condemn

yourself for the ones you have, accept them.

Avoid labeling yourself Each person is acomplex mixture of characteristics, traits, qual-

ities and behaviors; therefore youre not

summed up by one thing such as stupid or

bad. Instead of labeling with one thing, just

say you will do better next time.

Recognize your strengths and weakness Having healthy self-esteem means you can feel

good about yourself even though youre not

perfect. Dont take the positive traits for

granted because of the things that you cant do.

Set goals Always try to aim to improveyourself. But make sure you are flexible and

dont get down if you dont reach your goals

right away.

Avoid comparisons Some people get in thehabit of comparing themselves to others. There

will always be people who seem to do better

than you and, if you compare yourself to them,

youll end up never feeling satisfied with your-

self.

Communicate assertively The way youcommunicate to other people gives them infor-

mation on how you feel about yourself. As-

sertive communication encourages other

people to treat you with respect, and helps you

to feel good about yourself. Youre far more

likely to be treated with respect when you

communicate self-respect.

A higher self-esteem can positively impact

your life and your relationships. Love yourselfand others will love you.

Cadott Library BoardCraft making every Wednesday in December

By Heather Dekan

Every Wednesday in December, there will be an all-day craft

maker space downstairs at the Cadott Community Library.

There will be tables set up for kids to come in and make

crafts,said Paula Stanton, Cadott Community Library direc-

tor, at the regular library board meeting Dec. 8. Ill be running

that all day Wednesdays, all month long.

Stanton says she hopes kids will also sign up for the chil-

drens reading program while they are there making crafts.

It also gives me a way to see if Ineed to change the times

for the childrens programming, said Stanton. If Ihave more

people show up later in the evening, maybe thats a good time

to change the childrens programming too.

Also on the directors report, Stanton said 16 children re-

ceived gifts through the Spirit of Christmas gift tree that the

library sponsored this year.

We had 20 tags, and 16 children received gifts, said Stan-

ton. Thats a good first year for us.

Cadott Village BoardBoard approves levy

The Cadott Village Board held a public hearing Dec. 8, on

the 2015 proposed budget.

Everyone has had a chance to look at the proposed

budget, said Sandy Buetow, village clerk. With no public

appearances, it can be approved.

Buetow said the net mil rate is about $20.28, which is

down from last years $20.63.

Everything has been talked about and adjusted, says Bart

Chapek, board member. So, now were good.

The board unanimously approved the 2015 mil rate of

.02028, along with $1,575,605.45 for the total levy.

From the WisDOT

Wisconsins frozen road law took effect Dec. 6, for the re-

gion designated by the WisDOT as Zone 1, which includes

U.S. 8, along with numbered state and federal highways north

of U.S. 8.

Cold weather has resulted in the frozen road declaration

taking place earlier than normal, and haulers are alerted that

a warming period could result in temporary suspension of the

law.

The frozen road determination for other portions of the

state will be made once conditions warrant.

The law allows heavier loads for trucks carrying peeled or

unpeeled forest products cut crosswise (not including wood

chips), and salt and sand for winter maintenance until approx-

imately early March, unless thawing necessitates an earlier

cancellation of the provision or continued cold weather al-

lows for an extension of the declaration period.

The declaration is issued once the ground under highway

pavement is frozen to a depth of at least 18 inches, allowing

the maximum gross weight for trucks hauling logs, or salt

and sand, for maintaining roads in winter to go up to 98,000

pounds on vehicles with a minimum of five axles (from the

normal 80,000 pounds).

Special permits for hauling the increased weights are not

required in Zone 1, however, vehicles must be legally li-

censed at 80,000 pounds to handle the increased weights. The

higher weight limits do not apply to county or local roads un-

less authorized by the local agency having maintenance au-

thority. Also, higher weights may not be transported on any

highways or bridges specifically posted for lower weight lim-

its.

Accepting New Patients

By Monique Westaby

When most people think of the food pantry, the first thing

to come to mind is food. But two local women went beyond

their first thoughts and decided to do something extra for the

local food pantries this holiday season.

Its called a diaper drive, said Kayla Peche, who began

the process a few months ago. Were collecting donations

of packaged diapers from the area.

Peche is working with Ginna Young on the project, spon-

sored by the Courier Sentinel, and the two have alreadyposted fliers in the Cadott, Cornell and Lake Holcombe areas.

The diapers will then be divided up and donated to the Cadott

and Cornell Food Pantries.

Its definitely something were in need of, said Ann Son-

deregger of the Cornell food pantry. We have two or three

newborns and we dont ever see diapers from Feed My Peo-

ple or Commodities.

Sonderegger says the need isnt limited to only infant dia-

pers either, but adult diapers as well. We do have quite a few

disabled.

Young says in working with the Cornell Food Pantry, she

has seen first hand the need for things other than food.

Diapers wasnt something that had crossed my mind,

said Young. But now Im going to be on the lookout all the

time for sales and deals.

After talking with members of the Cadott Food Pantry,

Peche says at least half a dozen families are in need of diapers

there. I think it will be really beneficial to the communities.

The idea for a diaper drive came about when Peche was in

college. After writing a story on a drive in Eau Claire, Peche

said the group had a lot of success, and that bringing the same

to Cadott, Cornell and Lake Holcombe could also work.

Weve gotten a lot of positive feedback so far, said

Young. Some people have said, my daughter outgrew her

diapers and I dont know what to do with them. Now she has

a place to dispose of them and help people at the same time.

Those who wish to donate can drop off new, unopened dis-

posable diapers (any size, including adult) through December

at the Cornell or Cadott Courier Sentinel offices during busi-ness hours. The Cornell office is open M-F, 8:30-5 p.m., and

the Cadott office is open M-F, 8:30-3:30 p.m. Both offices

will close at noon Christmas Eve, and remain closed until

Monday, Dec. 29.

Young also says if someone wishes to donate, but is unable

to drop diapers off, they can contact her or Kayla at 715-239-

6688, and arrange a time to pick them up.

Hopefully we can get the word out and get some diapers

in, says Young. Wed like to see no child wet behind.

The Cadott Community Library is looking for donations

of gently used books, cookies, candies or bars for their holi-

The event will run Dec. 17., from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m., and

Friday, Dec. 19, from 1-6 p.m.

The Friends of the Library books sale is used to support

our childrens programming, said Paula Stanton, Cadott

Community Library director. As well as any other new pro-

grams we may want to offer in the future.

Donations can be dropped off at the library Tuesday, Dec.

16, after 1 p.m., and until 11 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 17.

All sales will be by donations only; you pay what you be-

lieve the item is worth. If the sale is successful, next years

Ladysmith Care & Rehab is in need of volunteers for their

Wednesday morning beauty shop program, from 9 to 10:30

a.m.

Theres no cutting or shampooing, just combing, said

Melissa Dixon, activity and volunteer coordinator. There are

no requirements, just a willingness to help and learn.

The beauty shop is held in the activity room, and holds

about 10 large hair dryers.

The room is transformed when everythings in there, said

Dixon. Generally, each person has two or three they work

on, but the more volunteers we have, the fewer heads each

one has to set.

While the ladies wait for their hair to set, volunteers and

residents can share stories, and have coffee and cookies.

All these women love to get out and gossip, Dixon said.

Its like a regular beauty shop.

To volunteer or for more information, contact Melissa

Dixon at 715-532-5015, ext. 344.

ASSE International Student Exchange Program is seeking

to work with volunteer host families and international ex-

change students in the community. AASE provides academic

year and semester exchange programs in the United States

for high school students from around the world.

Students are 15-18 years of age, and have passed a series

of academic and character requirements. Local representa-

tives also have the opportunity to support American high

school students in their journey abroad.

Area representatives recruit and screen prospective host

families, supervise the exchange students in their community

throughout the year, and interview American students who

wish to live and learn abroad. Representatives are compen-

sated on the number of students they supervise.

ASSEs primary goal is to contribute to international un-

derstanding by enabling students to learn other languages and

cultures through active participation in family, school and

community life. Through the sharing of their home, host fam-

ilies and communities gain new knowledge of other cultures

and languages.

For more information, contact the Midwestern Regional

Office a 1-800-736-1760.

sold out, and will start at 4 p.m., with the opportunity to buy

gifts for friends. At 5 p.m., the meal will begin, followed by

tomfoolery, as is reported, and ends with the gospel pres-

entation of the Christmas story.

HE WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE

She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, forHe will save His people from their sins.

Matthew 1:21 Christmas is all about Christ. Christ is all about salvation.

Jesus name means salvation. Yeshua means Yahweh is salva-

tion.

In our generation, babies are named for various reasons.

Sometimes they are given a name because it has a good ring to

it. Sometimes they are named after famous people. Or they are

named after their parents. My mother wanted to name me

Patrick. But my father won out by naming me Jim, after a

friend of his from work.

Jesus was given his name because of what it meant and what

he would do.

What would He do?

He will save.

This reminds us that there is something that all people need

to be saved from. Their sins.

Sin is the primary problem of the human race. It is a bigger

problem than race relations, false religions, greed, or anything

else. Sin is at the root of every problem in our world.

Sin is a problem that goes back all the way to the Garden of

Eden. Through one man sin entered the world and death

through sin. Adam ate the forbidden fruit and the entire human

race was banished from paradise. He had been warned: The

day you eat of it you will surely die. But he disobeyed God

anyway. And from that point on every human was under a

death penalty.

Sin was no longer just Adam and Eves problem. Sin was

passed down through the entire human race generation after

generation. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of

God. And the wages of sin is death. Death is a penalty for

sin. And that penalty is not just physical death. It is spiritual

death in hell.

The good news is God didnt leave the world without hope.

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.

Salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone. There is salva-

tion in no one else. There is no other name under heaven by

which we must be saved.

Salvation comes through Christs cross. Behold the Lamb

of God who takes away the sins of the world. Jesus, Gods only

begotten Son is the Lamb of God. He is Gods offering for the

sins of the world. No other lamb will do for a sin offering. Only

Jesus was the perfect, spotless Lamb that can deliver people

from their sins.

Salvation is offered to all. Its not just for the Jews. Salvation

is for all people of all races.

What must you do to be saved? You must repent and believe.

First you must repent. Repent means to change your mind,

change your ways. You have to change. You cant change on

your own. But God can change you. If we confess our sins, He

is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from

all unrighteousness. You confess. God forgives and cleanses.

Second you must believe. You must believe Jesus Christ is the

Son of God. You must believe he died on the cross in your place

for your sins. And you must believe God raised Him from the

dead.

The gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

This Christmas, my prayer is that you will experience the sal-

vation that comes through Jesus Christ. And that you will live a

life that is well pleasing to Him.

UW-Stout honors student Lucas Feldkamp, Gilman, ma-

joring in applied social science, presented Coming Out: Is

National Collegiate Honors Council in Denver.

Under the academic advisership of Tina Leen, Feldkamp

Gilman native speaks about

LGBTQ at Honors Council

By Ginna Young

Ive wanted to do it for the last couple of years, and I just

decided this is the year, said Jayde Crabb, owner of Touch

of Class, Main Street in Cornell.

What Crabb refers to is the Giving Tree for the Minneap-

polis Ronald McDonald House on display in the window at

Touch of Class. New, unwrapped gifts for all ages will be col-

lected now through Dec. 20, and delivered to the charity just

before Christmas.

Crabb knows first hand how grateful Ronald McDonald

house occupants are to have a Christmas when she stayed

there to be near her brother, Dylan, who battled acute lym-

phoblastic leukemia as a teenager. Unfortunately, Dylan lost

his fight with the disease, but his sister remains involved with

the charity.

When we stayed there, I can still remember how excited

we were when they came in with a bag of Christmas pres-

ents, said Crabb. I want to give back to that somehow.

Non-perishable gifts such as toys, books, crayons, coloring

books, bath items, gas and Walmart cards will be collected

and placed under the tree, along with messages and Christ-

mas cards sent to families.

There are a lot of sick kids, Crabb said. Because they

need to be near the hospital, the parents cant work and are

unable to buy presents for their other children. Without do-

nated gifts, these families wouldnt have a Christmas.

Crabb was reminded of the need when she and her mom,

Lori, went to the Minneapolis house a few weeks ago and

gave families free haircuts.

They have a full house, with 18 families still on the wait-

ing list, she said. The people cook, bathe and sleep there,

and theres a huge toy room. Its the most remarkable place

Ive ever seen.

Crabb says donations can be dropped off at Touch of Class

during regular business hours, and donators may take a candy

cane off the tree as a thank you.

For more information or suggestions of gifts, call Jayde at

715-239-6605.

Lets all pitch in and make this a giving back sort of year,

said Crabb.

Cadott Library Submitted by Paula Stanton

The Cadott Community Library appreciates everyone who

gave to the Foods-for-Fines program in November. Together,

four boxes and three bags of food were collected. The food

was then donated to the Cadott Food Pantry.

The library also recognizes everyone who participated in

the Spirit of Christmas gift tree. Because of that support, the

library was able to provide gifts for 16 children in Chippewa

County.

In light of the gift giving season, the library will host a gift

making space in the childrens section Wednesday, Dec. 17,

from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. School age children may stop and

make a weekly craft, and leave with a wrapped present for a

family member or friend. Crafts are available while supplies

last and are limited to one per child.

The last story time for the year will be Wednesday, Dec.

17. The winter segment will start Wednesday, Jan. 7, and

focus on winter animals. Toddler and pre-school story time

will be held at 10:30 a.m., and at 3:40 p.m., for elementary

students. During story time, kids may read, do experiments,

make crafts, play games and have a snack.

The Friends of the Cadott Community Library will sponsor

a holiday book sale Dec. 17-19, indoors during regular library

hours. The sale allows patrons to purchase books for the hol-

iday gift giving season, with proceeds to benefit the library.

The Cadott Book Club will discuss Gone Girl at their an-nual holiday potluck Thursday, Dec. 18. Visit the library for

more information or a copy of the book.

Starting in January, the library will offer tech time the first

and third Monday of each month, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.

Bring laptops or tablets, or use one of the library computers.

Library employees will help with any computer questions or

downloading e-books.

Area women may spend a lot of time in the barn now the

Brown Barn, that is. The Brown Barn Bath Company re-

opened at their new location on the corner of CC and M in

Holcombe, Dec. 4.

The business opened on Highway 27 in 2011, but quickly

outgrew the building.

We didnt have enough storage, and the building was di-

vided in four sections, said owner Chris Untiedt. It was

hard on the clerks running back and forth to the blending bar

and ice cream counter.

Chris and her daughter/partner, Alyssa, shopped around

and found the Birch Creek Country Store was for sale. Al-

though the country store was sold to another party, Brown

Barn was able to lease the building from the buyers and set

up shop.

The whole thing started sitting around my kitchen table,

Chris said. One day my husband said, you need a store. It

just went from there.

In addition to the Holcombe location, Brown Barn has

stores in Medford and Chippewa Falls.

This is our anchor store, said Chris. I think a lot of peo-

ple dont realize this isnt just a retail store; were the distri-

bution point for our other locations.

Brown Barn makes their all natural homemade soaps and

bath items in what was Albrechts Cheese house on Main

Street in Holcombe.

Having our lab here provides more jobs for the commu-

nity, which I love, Chris said. We send out for lunches and

that in turn creates more jobs, so its good all around.

The Holcombe store/lab employs three or four part-time

workers, as well as Amy Albers, human resources; Chasity

Dixon, lab manager; and Wade Meddaugh, inventory techni-

cian.

Its so nice to have Wade, said Chris. It was always a

hang-up keeping track of the inventory, wondering what we

did or didnt have, and where its supposed to be.

Bath items are only a portion of what Brown Barn has on

their shelves. The store features truffles, coffee, olive oil,

wine, wedding and jewelry lines, to name a few. A blending

bar is also stationed behind the main counter for people to

choose their own unique scents.

Theres always something different going on, said Chris.

Its not fun making the same things over and over again; we

like to throw around ideas and see what we come up with.

the early graduation requirements to determine if the board

would like to make some changes in the future.

Also during the meeting, the board approved moving for-

ward with a strategic plan for the school district. Strategic

planning involves setting goals, determining actions to

achieve the goals and executing the action. Cadott school dis-

trict had strategic planning a few years ago, but it didnt work

out.

Smith says he would like to find the perfect fit for Cadott

to work with the community on making Cadott school the

best school of their size in the state.

The board set a special meeting for Dec. 16, to interview

candidates/organizations who could instruct the district and

community on a personal strategic plan.

The school district also proposed some changes to their

calendar for the 2015-16 school year. Smith says the most

significant difference from this year is a change to the late-

winter break in February, and Easter/spring break in April.

Easter actually falls in late March, Smith said. What

Ive done is combine the two. So, we dont have a late winter

and a spring break, we just have a spring break.

Smith said it will be the same number of days the students

had off before, but is now merged into one long break instead

of two short breaks.

Also on the agenda, the board approved two new hires:

Roy Munroe, as Junior High Wrestling coach, and Danielle

Winchell, as special education paraprofessional.

In administrative reports, Jenney Larson, Cadott Elemen-

tary principal, announced the elementary school recently cre-

ated a Facebook page and a Twitter account.

We have had a phenomenal response to this, Larson said.

We are reaching a lot of people and people are getting a little

bit of insight on the day-to-day happenings in our school.

Each year the Wisconsin Athletic Directors Associ-

ation allows each athletic director to recognize

someone for outstanding service to the athletic de-

partment. At the Dec. 8 Cadott School Board meet-

ing, Sue Shakal, district bookkeeper, was presented

the award by Jim Sekel, Cadott athletic director.

Without some of your work behind the scenes,

those matches, those contests, would never hap-

pen, Sekel said. We thank you.

Each year, Lions Clubs International sponsors a Peace

Poster Contest for students ages 11, 12 or 13. The theme of

the poster changes each year, and this years theme was

Power of Peace.

The Cadott Lions Club sponsors the local contest, with 22

students participating this year. Of the 22, the top three were

chosen, and a monetary award was presented to each.

Students participating in the contest used mediums such as

charcoal, crayon, pencil and paint to express this theme.

The contest is open to students throughout the world, and

in Wisconsin, one winner is chosen from each of the 10 Lions

districts.

The winning poster is then sent onto the multiple district

competition, and from there, one winner is forwarded to In-

ternational Headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill., for the final judg-

ing.

Positive start for Hornets basketball

By Kayla Peche

The Cadott Hornets Boys Basketball team started their sea-

son with a non-conference matchup, and ended the week with

a victory against a West Cloverbelt rival.

Dec. 2 vs. Chetek-Weyerhaeuser (Non-Conference)

The team traveled to Chetek for their season opener, where

senior Brett McChesney had a big scoring night.

McChesney said it felt great to finish with 29 points over-

all, but that couldnt stop the Bulldogs offense, leading the

first half 40-26.

The game didnt go how we wanted, McChesney said.

We obviously wanted to win. We missed a lot of easy shots

and didnt play very good de-

fense.

Senior Ben Kyes also

added 12 points for the Hor-

nets rally back, but the game

ended in a 54-68 loss.

We are looking to start 1-

0 against Thorp, McChes-

ney says. It really starts to

matter tonight.

Dec. 5 vs. Thorp (Confer-

ence)

McChesneys wishes came

true as the Hornets defeated

the Cardinals, 58-44.

Cadott head coach Bran-

don Mittermeyer said it was

nice to win against the de-

fending state champs.

We played better de-

fense,Mittermeyer said.

Shawn Sedlacek (junior)

was really a key factor in this

win due to his ability to pres-

sure the basketball.

Leading the Hornets was

Ezra Michael, senior, who

nailed six three-pointers and scored 31 points. Classmates

McChesney and Kyes added 11 points each.

Mittermeyer says the team still needs to improve defen-

sively, but hes happy with the start of the season.

To start with a win in our conference is very difficult,

Mittermeyer said. So, to have such a positive start, we really

worked hard for it.

Cornell boys still

gaining experience

By Kayla Peche

The Cornell Chiefs Boys Basketball team had a successful

conference season opener against the Bobcats, but the young

team met their match during a home non-conference game.

Dec. 5 vs. Birchwood (Conference)

In a season opener against the Bobcats, the Chiefs picked

up their first conference win, 62-53.

Cornell used a strong second quarter to put some distance

on Birchwood, outscoring the Bobcats, 16-8, to take a 39-19

lead by halftime.

Junior Cortland Spletter led all scorers with 22 points for

Cornell. Chiefs sophomore Noah Nohr added 15 points in-

cluding three 3-pointers, and Colton Hetke, also a sopho-

more, had 12 points.

Dec. 8 vs. Gilman (Non-Conference)

Cornell hosted a second game this week against the Gilman

Pirates, which didnt go as planned.

We are just

very inexperi-

enced right now,

Spletter said.

We put them to

the line way too

much, just a lot

of turnovers that

could have been

avoided.

Cornell held a

32-29 lead at the

half, but fell be-

hind hard in the

third quarter as

the Pirates began

to pull away,

scoring 11 points

more than Cor-

nell.

Gilman contin-

ued to switch

things up and

outscored Cornell the rest of the way, winning the non-con-

ference game, 70-51.

Spletter led the Chiefs with 15 points, followed by sopho-

more Levi Boehm with nine. Junior Mitchell Thompson and

sophomore Trenton Glaus each added eight points for the

team.

The Dec. 12 home game against New Auburn has been

rescheduled to Feb. 23.

Chieftains identify their weaknesses

By Kayla Peche

The Lake Holcombe Chieftains Boys Basketball team

came back from behind, 9-32, in the second half of a non-

conference game at Pren-

tice, Dec. 2.

The second half we

settled down, said Dave

Engel, Lake Holcombe

head coach. We were

able to cut into their lead.

The boys outscored the

Buccaneers, 25-18, but

the rally wasnt enough to

secure the win, falling 34-

50 in the end.

Junior Nick Seng had

11 points for Lake Hol-

combe while seniors Jay

Kent and John Stender Jr.

each added nine in their

first game of the season.

The team finished the

game with 21 steals, and

Engel says defensively he

was proud of their efforts.

We were able to apply

pressure and keep them

from ever really getting

into an offensive rhythm.

He says the Dec. 9

game against Bruce will

be a good judge of where

they are as a unit.

I think it was a good

team lesson, Engel said. Its refocused us. Weve identified

and are working on our weaknesses.
