Tuesday, Jan. 27, sprays water on a skid steer at the Scott Mohr farm on

County Highway D. Dave Tonnancour, the fire chief in charge at the scene, said

although there was a small turnout for the call, those who did respond were

able to suppress the fire quickly. Mohr returned to the farm to find the skidsteer

smoking, and pulled it out from between two barns. “It could have been a lot

worse,” said Tonnancour. “But he was able to get it in the open and away from

Operation Roundup donates to food pantry

By Heather Dekan

Chippewa Valley Community Funds, Inc., also know as

Operation Roundup, donated $350 to the Cadott Community

Christian Center Food Pantry.

Central Wisconsin Electric Cooperative (CWEC) says one

of their founding principles is neighbors helping neighbors.

In honor of that principle, the cooperative launched CWEC

Operation Roundup in 1999.

The program is designed to raise funds for charitable or-

ganizations, educational purposes and individuals in need.

Participating members bills are rounded up to the nearest dol-

lar, with an average annual household donation around $6.

“When I started in 2010 or 2011,” said Kathleen Filas, Op-

eration Roundup board member, “there were around 850

members who would round up their bills. If everyone would

round up, we would really have money to help.”

To date, CWEC has distributed over $50,000 in funds.

“The money goes into a fund and distributed to individuals,

families or charitable organizations picked by the board from

the applications they submit, that need financial assistance,”

says Filas.

Cornell residents may recently have re-

ceived an informational brochure in the mail

on cross connection hazards and guidelines.

The DNR requires every building in Cornell

to be inspected to ensure there’s no contam-

ination of public water through siphoning or

backflow.

“So if you had a hose connected to your

outside faucet and it was in a pool, and you

shut your water off,” said Dave DeJongh,

city administrator, “if the system lost pres-

sure, you could actually siphon water back

through the hose.”

To ensure there is no contamination of

public water, the city will inspect residential

and commercial properties in compliance

with DNR regulations.

“The city is required to document 20 per-

cent, or roughly 114 residential properties,

by March 30,” said Amy Jackson, city works

administrative secretary. “We’ll call ahead to

set up a time and our guys will conduct an

inspection.”

The city will save around $10,000 by hav-

ing city workers conduct the residential in-

spection, and will sub out commercial

inspection to Hydro Designs Inc. for a one-

year agreement at $80/hour.

The Cross Connection Control Program is

in effect statewide, and residents will be re-

sponsible for the expense and replacement of

Cornell residents may need

non-compliant fixtures.

DeJongh says if anyone re-

fuses access to their plumb-

ing, as part of the service

provided, the city could cut

the water off. “It’s not the

Smooth as glass rink now open for skaters

By Monique Westaby

Although the winter solstice officially began Sunday, Dec.

21, those who enjoy the season still have nearly two months

left to bask in outdoor activities associated with the colder

weather, including ice skating.

The Cornell Mill Yard Park ice rink officially opened last

Friday, Jan. 23, and city workers said it was “well used” over

the warmer weekend. Temperatures were above 30, which

might be good for getting out and about, but bad for keeping

ice rinks frozen.

“It had a lot of use over the weekend,” said John Westaby,

utility/public works director for the city. “It’s pretty rough

but they (city workers) were out there earlier working on it

and it should be in real good shape by the weekend.”

Westaby said the rink is still open for use, and the city is

working to get it straightened back out after the warm

weather and heavy use.

City employees had tried in December to get the rink open

for skaters, but a warm spell halted their efforts until last

week, when conditions allowed for another try.

To “create” the rink, a portion off the park is blocked off,

and a large tarp is placed on the ground to hold the water

while it freezes. The area is then flooded, and once frozen,

thin layers of water are created to make the surface smooth.

“It might look rough in spots,” said Westaby, “but it’s ac-

tually smooth as glass when they’re done.”

Several of the 1/16th inch layers of water are smoothed

over the surface with a special “zamboni” made from PVC

pipe, a towel and a hose. Each layer is left to freeze before

COURIER SENTINELPage 2

By Monique Westaby

Managing Editor

In the world of poli-

tics, following through

with proposals and cam-

paign promises is rarely

something you hear

about. But in Gov. Scott

Walker’s case, keeping promises is just part

of his character, and once again, he’s doing

what he said.

The Workforce Readiness Plan, part of a

two-year budget proposal to be released

Feb. 3, follows through with Walker’s cam-

paign promise to limit public aid time-

frames, and require drug testing for

recipients. This includes unemployment in-

surance and FoodShare (Wisconsin’s food

stamp program).

The Washington Post published an article

following Walker’s campaign win last No-

vember, and lists Wisconsin as one of five

states (Maine, Minnesota, Pennsylvania

and Virginia) that already require testing

for those applicants who have been con-

victed of felony drug charges.

While many have expressed concerns

with how this may affect the budget and

decline benefits for those who need it, the

change would actually keep those on gov-

ernment aid accountable for what they

spend that aid on. And, it prepares individ-

uals for life in the working (without aid)

world.

In 2006, a study from The Society for

Human Resource Management showed that

more than four out of five U.S. employers

require pre-employment drug tests, and 39

percent of those conduct random testing of

their employees. That’s 84 percent of pri-

vate employers.

Just as employers want to be sure their

workers are 100 percent, the government

should also hold its beneficiaries to that

same standard. Public aid is in place to help

those who need it, with the understanding

that a person should work toward bettering

themselves so they don’t need to be on aid

their entire lives. Can a person do that

while high, stoned or doped out?

But what about the children? It’s not fair

to deny those kids food on the table just be-

cause their parents smoke a little weed now

and then.

No matter how you look at it, whether

you consider marijuana medically benefi-

cial or not, it’s still illegal in Wisconsin. A

child should not have to suffer for their par-

ents’ choices. On the other hand, is a child

really benefitting from someone who

“needs aid,” yet spends their money, and

time, on getting high?

Walker says “those who fail the drug test

those who are struggling will need to get

back on their feet. To put it lightly, it will

kickstart that fire to get back on the job

market, ask for that promotion, or create a

need for ambition.

Too often good jobs are left untaken be-

cause “there’s no way I’m going to do that”

or “I worked up to a manager position at

my last job, I’m not going to start over as

just an employee.” In times of need (and

receiving aid is by definition need) people

need to make sacrifices.

There’s an old saying that goes, give a

man a fish, he’ll eat for a day; teach a man

to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime. Right now,

the United States is giving out billions of

fish a year. Why aren’t we handing these

recipients a fishing pole instead?

Local, state and federal governments

have gotten too caught up in the politics of

these programs. If unemployment insur-

ance and FoodShare are in place to help us,

then that’s what it should do – not give us

fish without teaching us how to fish.

By Ginna Young

In today’s world, many

women wouldn’t dream

of leaving the house with-

out makeup on, even if it’s

only a little eyeliner and

lip gloss. The outside

needs to look “perfect”

before going to work, dropping the kids off

at school, a party, shopping or running er-

rands.

But what about the inside? Isn’t it more

important to worry about what you’re putting

in your body than on it?

Research shows many cosmetics and per-

sonal care products are made with parabens

(chemical compounds of parahydroxyben-

zoic acid); phthalates, which act as a sof-

tener; and formaldehyde, used as a

disinfectant, and in preservation of biological

specimens and the embalming of human re-

mains.

These, and other additives, cause cancer,

interfere with functions of the endocrine sys-

tem, accelerate aging, induce miscarriage,

cause developmental disorders in children

and infants, and hinder reproductive abilities.

They also cause redness or irritation of the

skin, eyes or glands, and trigger allergic re-

actions in some users.

Once in contact with the skin, chemicals

are absorbed into the skin, blood stream and

digestive system. One study showed that in

99 percent of breast cancer test subjects,

parabens were present in the cancerous tu-

mors removed from patients.

would be given the opportunity to partici-

pate in a free drug-treatment program and

receive job training.” So even if you fail,

the state won’t toss you to the birds, they

will give you ways to get help AND get a

job so you don’t need government aid.

Although Walker’s drug test proposal

also says it will save money (statistics to be

given next month), studies show this might

not be the case.

In Utah, Florida and Arizona, these same

drug testing policies cost more than they

saved, and resulted in only a small percent-

age of drug users. Only time will tell if this

will be the case in Wisconsin, but shouldn’t

benefit handouts be about helping people,

not about the money?

Saving money shouldn’t be the main pri-

ority for helping government aid recipients,

but rather getting them back on their feet.

Even if you are concerned about the

money factor, the second portion of his bill

suggests it will save $3 million in two years

by lowering aid for able-bodied adults on

welfare from five years to four years.

If there’s one common theme among hu-

mankind its procrastination – Why get

done today what you can put off until to-

morrow? Time you enjoy wasting is not

wasted time. Never put off until tomorrow,

what may be done the day after tomorrow

just as well.

The list of quotes goes on, but the stan-

dard still remains. Everyone procrastinates

at one time or another. Welfare recipients

have been given a bad reputation for “abus-

ing the system,” “milking the government”

and “being lazy.” Although all reputations

stem from a sliver of truth, not all aid re-

cipients fit into those categories.

Aid was created to help those in need get

back on their feet. As society, we don’t

want to see our fellow humans get knocked

down so hard, they can’t make it back up.

But we don’t want to spoon feed them

while they’re down, so they can lie there

the rest of their lives and never work either.

The sooner we cut the cord, the sooner

Walker keeps promise to teach us how to fish

What goes on the outside, may end up on the insideDr. Philippa Darbre, a research scientist at

the University of Reading in the U.K., found

that parabens may be carcinogenic, meaning

they can actually transform healthy cells into

cancer cells. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS),

a common foaming agent in toothpaste and

bubble bath, has also been identified as hav-

ing carcinogenic properties.

There doesn’t seem to be a governmental

watchdog over cosmetics marketed in the

United States, but according to safecosmet-

ics.org, certain forms of parabens are banned

in Denmark in children’s cosmetic products.

By law, with the exception of color additives,

the FDA does not monitor cosmetic ingredi-

ents, and leaves responsibility up to the man-

ufacturer.

So if there’s no one looking out for the

American consumer, what can be done about

it?

Ceasing to wear makeup and cosmetics

will prevent chemicals from entering your

body, but that won’t entirely eliminate the

problem. Those additives are also found in

deodorant, soap, shampoo, lotion, lip balm

and even toothpaste.

While some may be willing to sacrifice

beauty aids for their body’s well-being, most

people would probably agree discontinuing

the everyday use of soap, shampoo, deodor-

ant and toothpaste is not really an option.

Cutting down on the amount of products

ingested or absorbed by daily use can help,

as small doses of individual products may not

cause permanent harm to the body. However,

when multiple products are used over an ex-

tended period of time, the results of that ex-

posure are unclear.

Brown Barn Bath Company owner Chris

Untiedt recommends researching the prod-

ucts you use on a daily basis, buying from

companies you know and trust, reading la-

bels, and familiarizing yourself with ingredi-

ents you want to avoid.

“Sometimes you feel like you need a de-

gree in chemistry just to read a label,” said

Untiedt. “Only buying products with short

ingredient lists of things you can read easily

really doesn’t work either if you want a truly

fabulous product.

“For example, Shea Butter is often listed

as Butyrospermum Parkii. Most companies

do put the common name in parenthesis after

the latin, but sometimes space just does not

allow for that.”

Untiedt also warns about the rewording of

certain ingredients to disguise their common

name.

“SLS can be renamed as sodium dodecyl

sulfate, or the combination of the words sul-

furic acid, monododecyl ester, and sodium

salt or sodium salt sulfuric acid,” Untiedt

said. “Again, buy from companies you know

and trust, get a second opinion. Take a

minute to sit down with your favorite prod-

uct, and look up each ingredient on the label

to reassure yourself.”

Certain companies do make cosmetics and

health products with all-natural or near natu-

ral ingredients, and there are organizations

that exist to improve the quality/safety of the

products on the mass market. One such

source is the Environmental Working

Group’s Skin Deep Cosmetic Database. Con-

sumers can enter an ingredient at

ewg.org/skindeep for a summary of its haz-

ards or side effects.

With that in mind, always be on the look

out for extremists. Bloggers and companies

look to scare consumers, and many give bad

advice.

“Find a company you trust, with humans

who will answer your questions, rather than

always relying on faceless internet ‘ex-

perts,’” said Untiedt. “Most of all, use your

own common sense in evaluating what you

read and see.”

While all-natural products may be the an-

swer, they can also cost more than mass pro-

duced items and may not be as readily

accessed as items in retail stores. In the end,

the most influence in the buyer’s choice

comes down to availability, individual

budget and personal preference.

Maybe someday the FDA will step in and

regulate the use of additives in health and

beauty products, but until then, through re-

search, consumers can still be aware of what

goes in their favorite brands.

And the next time you shower or apply

foundation, remember, what goes on your

body, might also end up in your body.

Cornell City employees Derek Braun (left) and Ben

Modl (right) use a homemade zamboni, a machine

used to resurface ice for skating, to smooth the ice

rink in Cornell. While the “zamboni” Braun and

Modl are using isn’t quite as fancy as the machine

it got it’s name from, the PVC pipe attached to a

hose and a towel seems to work just fine for the ice

rink in Cornell’s Mill Yard Park. The rink opened Fri-

applying the next. If bumps or imperfections happen, a torch

is used to melt the ice and is then smoothed out again.

Dave DeJongh, city administrator, said the city has offered

an ice rink for as long as he can remember, and was originally

at the high school, by the tennis courts.

“It used to be the whole parking lot by the school,” said

DeJongh. “The city used to flood it and that was the rink. I

remember there was even a skating rink attendant who would

help you with your skates.”

While several residents can recall the rink back to the ’60s

and ’70s, others have said they remember it when they were

kids, dating it to at least the ’50s. Following some changes

at the school, the rink spent a few years on hiatus, before find-

ing a home at Mill Yard Park, about 10 years ago.

Since then skaters have used the area when they can, ref-

erencing it as a “gift for this town to give to families.”

The rink is kept clear by volunteers and city employees

throughout the season, and a warming shack is also provided

from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. for rink users.

Rink - Continued from Front

By Andrew Campanella,

President of National School Choice Week

If you’d like to send your child to a different school next

year, now’s the time to start the process of researching your

options.

As Wisconsin prepares to commemorate National School

Choice Week Jan. 25-31, at 205 events across the state, and

nearly 11,000 events nationwide, many parents will begin

evaluating the educational opportunities that are available for

their children.

Believe it or not, seats in schools are already beginning to

fill up for the 2015-16 school year. Interest in school choice

– the process of actively choosing a public, charter, magnet,

private, or online school – is high. That means waiting until

spring or summer to begin researching schools for your chil-

dren could restrict your options.

No handbook or tip sheet can truly guide parents through

the entire process of selecting a school, because choosing

schools is an individual experience that is unique to every

family.

However, parents can start by making a list of the attributes

they hope to find in an ideal school.

Ask yourself: what’s most important to you and to the ac-

ademic, social and emotional well-being of your child? Is it

the academic performance of a school, school safety, the in-

structional methods, the qualifications of teachers, the

school’s educational theme, a school’s shared values or other

factors?

Once you’ve identified what matters most, start looking

into the options available to you. In addition to local pub-

lic schools, you may be eligible to send your child to a

school outside of your ZIP code, or in a different school dis-

trict.

Look into nearby charter schools and magnet schools.

Don’t leave private and faith based schools off your list. You

might be able to find scholarships to cover the costs of tu-

ition. And for some families, online learning and home-

schooling work best.

To find the options available to you, look at information

from the Wisconsin Department of Education, as well as in-

formation on state-based education reform or school choice

organization websites. Visit greatschools.org for a directory

Making the decision to change schools certainly isn’t easy.

And switching schools isn’t a piece of cake, either. But if you

start now, and plan out the journey, you’ll find the destination

– a great school for your child – is well worth the diligence

and effort.

of most schools in your area,

along with parent rankings

and performance metrics.

With your list of require-

ments and your list of

schools in hand, start making

appointments to visit

schools. Ask to sit in on

classes, and make sure to ask

as many questions as possi-

ble of teachers, the adminis-

tration and support staff.

You’ll want to find out what

motivates the adults in the

building, while also seeing

how students in the classes

respond to their teachers.

Ask yourself: is this a

place where I’d want to send

my child for most of his, or

her, weekday waking hours?

Finally, make sure to talk

with other parents – and to

your own children. Ask par-

ents how the schools’ admin-

istrators treat parents, and

whether they welcome, or

discourage, parental involve-

ment.

And most importantly, ask

your children about their per-

ceptions of the schools

you’ve visited. Find out what

excites and motivates your

child at school, but also ask

about their worries, concerns

and apprehensions.

How to find the right school for your child

In last week’s Courier Sentinel, (Vol. 3 No. 4), it was mis-

When it comes to winter car care, many motorists think of

antifreeze and batteries, but vehicles need extra attention

when temperatures drop below zero. The following tips may

help your vehicle perform at its best during cold weather

months.

1. Keep the gas tank at least half full; this decreases the

chance of moisture forming in the gas lines and possibly

freezing.

2. Check tire pressure, including the spare, as tires can lose

pressure when temperatures drop. Consider special tires if

snow and ice are a problem in your area.

3. Have the exhaust system checked for carbon monoxide

leaks, which can be especially dangerous during cold weather

driving when windows are closed.

4. If you’re not trying to defrost the windshield or warm

the interior, modern cars are ready to be driven right away.

Idling longer than 30 seconds in most cases is unnecessary

for the sake of warming up the engine. The best way to warm

up your car is to drive gently at the start.

5. Change to low-viscosity oil in winter as it will flow more

easily between moving parts when it is cold. Drivers in sub-

zero temperatures should drop their oil weight from 10W-30

to 5W-30 as thickened oil can make it hard to start the car.

6. Consider using cold weather washer fluid and special

winter windshield blades if you live in a place with especially

harsh winter conditions.

Sub-zero temperatures can have a real impact on your ve-

hicle. Winter magnifies existing problems such as pings, hard

starts, sluggish performance and rough idling, and very cold

temperatures reduce battery power.

Brunet Island State Park in Cornell will play host to a Com-

munity Candlelight Ski and Sledding Event Saturday, Feb. 7.

Sledding will take place from 3 to 5 p.m.; and cross country

skiing and snowshoeing from 5 to 7 p.m.

The event, sponsored by the Cornell-Lake Holcombe Com-

munity Ed, the Cornell Lions Club and Cornell Area Better-

ment Association, will be held at the park’s swimming beach.

The pavilion fireplaces will be tended by volunteers for sled-

ders and skiers to warm themselves, with hot dogs, s’mores,

hot cider, chocolate and coffee served to participants.

The need for a state park sticker has been waived for the

event, and skis and snowshoes are available for use at no fee.

Event organizer Andrea Smith says the Candlelight Ski will

be held as long as the area doesn’t see a major thaw. “If the

weather holds and we don’t lose any more snow, we’ll be just

fine,” she said.

To check on trail conditions, contact the park office at 715-

239-6888.

The public is invited to community conversations around

by more than 2,500 Chippewa and Eau Claire County resi-

dents. At the community conversations, survey results will

be presented and attendees will be asked to help select prior-

ity focus areas.

“We had a great response to our survey, and we’re excited

to share the results with community members and get

feedback in prioritizing our action plans,” says Jen Rom-

balski, Chippewa County Department of Public Health di-

rector.

The community conversations are free and include a light

meal and prize drawings.

“Bettering the health of our communities takes the efforts

of many,” says Lieske Giese, Eau Claire City-County Health

Department director. “This opportunity to meet with com-

munity members throughout our area is extremely valuable

in prioritizing our commitment to improving the health and

wellness of our citizens.”

The loan does not have to be repaid until you no longer oc-

cupy the home (when you sell or move out of the home). There

is no interest on the loan and no monthly payments are required.

Loans are available for necessary home repairs such as re-

placing siding, windows, doors, furnaces, water/sewer laterals

sulation, repairing foundations, and making a home accessible

pleted.

quired to get three bids. Contractors must carry liability insur-

ance and provide the program administrator with income tax

Phillip J. Lukowicz, 79, Con-

rath, passed away Wednesday,

Jan. 14, 2015, at Sacred Heart

Hospital in Eau Claire.

Phillip was born Nov. 6,

1935, to John and Isabel

(Mengel) Lukowicz in Marsh-

field.

He was united in marriage to

Dorothy Hiebsch in April

1957, and later divorced.

He received his education in

the Owen Schools, and was a

1953 graduate of Owen High School.

Phillip attended the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point,

received a bachelor’s degree in social work, majored in con-

servation and biology in 1957, and a master’s of science de-

gree in 1962 from UW-Milwaukee.

He worked as a social worker for the Sheboygan County

Casey Yeager’s Cadott third grade class has been busy learning and growing during the new year. Stu-

dents have been exploring perimeter, area and angles with their straws to learn about geometry in math.

In science, they are investigating measurement with hands-on experiments, and say they look forward

to writing time. The third grade also took part in the Star Lab at the Cadott School Forest. Yeager says

her class is a very helpful and kind bunch of students.

Casey Yeager’sThird Grade

Cornell third grade students from Kim

Anderson and Cindy Guest’s classes created

a book after they were given the topic

“Thankful for American Citizenship,” to

guide them in their writing process.

The classes went on a mission to learn all

they could to create their class book, demon-

strating the rights they are most thankful for

as Americans. After focusing on the Consti-

tution and Declaration of Independence, the

writing process was ready to begin.

Each student created a written explanation

of what they were most thankful for and

why. They followed up with emphasis on

what it would be like not to have such a

right. Once they completed the writing

process, they created an illustration to rep-

resent their own writing.

The book was then published, and Ander-

son says the students were very excited

to actually have their published book in

hand.

Focus on Your SchoolBy Dr. Paul Schley,

District Administrator

If you have been following the proposals our state leg-

islature has been considering for education lately, I hope

you are questioning if these changes would be good for all

children in Wisconsin, or mainly for private schools and

businesses.

Our state has a great public education system. If people

wish to go to another system, taxpayer funds should not

follow. The state can’t afford two or more educational sys-

tems.

Since the statewide voucher program has opened up,

many of the students awarded vouchers had already been

attending private schools in the prior year(s). The money

for these vouchers came from the funds designated for pub-

lic schools.

Accountability is another hot topic. There is currently a

state test required of public school students in grades 3-11

that many believe should be required of all students receiv-

ing taxpayer funds.

Now there is a proposal allowing several different tests

to choose from. How will students be compared equally?

Should we be comparing students? Should we be compar-

ing schools?

The socioeconomic status and demographics of each dis-

trict is different. If each district does not start with students

at the same level, how can they be expected to end at the

same level? Then, to make the test comparisons less valid,

is the fact that parents can opt their children out of the tests.

There is also a proposal to convert poor performing pub-

lic schools into charter schools. Charter schools do not

need to follow the same regulations as public schools, so

is this why there is a belief charters would be better for

children? If this is true, why not just eliminate many of the

mandates for public schools?

Teacher licensing is the new area of contention. It’s pro-

posed that anyone with a bachelor’s degree and life expe-

rience can get a teacher’s license if they pass a test.

There is much more to teaching than just knowing sub-

ject matter. Pedagogy and teaching strategies, how to work

with all types of students, special education laws, class-

room management, and the list goes on.

It seems at the state and national level, teachers are not

being respected. The people making the laws don’t seem

to understand the profession.

In the Cornell School District, we appreciate the support

of our community, and we will continue to work hard to

keep that support. As usual, if you have a questions or con-

cerns please feel free to contact us.

During the 21st Century Community Learning Center’s after school program

in Cornell, students – Grace Harycki, third grade; Nathan Fasbender, third

grade; Ronin Minnich, first grade; and Michayla Turchen, fourth grade – con-

structed a lego land to build their engineering and team work skills. This series

focused on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), and teams of

first through fourth grade students received new challenges throughout eight

weeks. Jenny Blaisdel, after school coordinator, said one challenge was the

teams built a lego structure that held three dictionaries. (Submitted Photo)

To be considered for financial assistance, individuals or or-

Cooperative and fill out an application. When the board

members meet, they discuss it to see if it meets the criteria

and distribute the funds.

The cooperative is also donating free radon kits, which test

for cancer-causing radon gas in homes. These kits are avail-

erative Operation members.

said.

Cross connection can be avoided by not submerging hoses

in buckets or pools, or using spray attachments with backflow

prevention. Dishwashers and water softeners should also be

installed with a proper “air gap” device.

“I don’t know why this section of the state is somewhat be-

hind others in the state, but we’ve got some catching up to

do,” DeJongh said.

Cornell City CouncilCornell receives $5,000 Urban Forestry Grant

By Ginna Young

At the regular Cornell City Council meeting Jan. 22, City

Administrator Dave DeJongh reported Cornell has received

a $5,000 Urban Forestry Grant to assist in a tree inventory.

The grant will also help make plans for arrival of the emerald

ash borer, a beetle whose larvae feed on the inner bark of ash

trees, disrupting the tree’s ability to transport water and nu-

trients.

As a matter of prevention, the grant will provide pro-active

measures to protect ash trees in Cornell. A survey/inspection

will be conducted of all trees on city property by GPS or GIS.

“The hope is to take all of this information and put it on a

map,” said DeJongh. “The information will be keyed on each

tree and the condition of it. The individual that will be doing

the inventory will be documenting all of this; it should be a

very positive thing for the community.”

As part of the process, water lines will be marked through

GPS to avoid roots interfering with the flow and placement

of young trees.

“Trees are very useful to communities to hold storm water

in the ground and provide canopy for cooling,” DeJongh said.

“They can also not be so good if they’re not the right kind

for overhead lines.”

On other agenda, after discussion at a Finance Committee

meeting prior to the regular meeting, the council voted to

offer the part-time police secretary position to Cleoan Wright

at $13/hour for a one-year probationary period.

During the Finance Committee meeting, the council also

explored shortening the name of Airport Industrial Park Road

East after a request from Ken

McIntrye, of Chippewa

River Forest Management.

Questionnaires were sent out

to two other businesses on

the road to determine any

objections or concerns. Little

response was received.

“Let’s invite them to a

meeting and see if they have

thoughts on that,” said

Mayor Judy Talbot. “Let

them work on it amongst

themselves before we decide

if it’s something we want to

do.”

The committee agreed on

that course of action and will

propose a meeting for the

parties involved.

SportsBig conference wins for Hornets basketball

By Kayla Peche

It was a victorious week for the Cadott Hornets Boys Basketball team

as they swept their rivals, Stanley-Boyd, and played a back-and-forth

game at Thorp to take the win by a mere four points.

“Thorp is one of the toughest, if not the toughest place to play in our

conference,” said

Brandon Mitter-

meyer, Cadott head

coach, after the win

Friday night.

Jan. 20 vs. Stan-

ley-Boyd (71-39 W,

conference)

The Hornets team

had a new captain,

senior Quinn Sikora,

in the game against

Stanley-Boyd Jan.

20.

“We started Quinn

Sikora this game as

he has provided a

great deal of leader-

ship for this team as

of late,” said Mitter-

meyer. “He defi-

nitely deserved the

recognition.”

Sikora says this is

his first start of the

season, his first time

being captain, and

his first year in bas-

ketball.

“It couldn’t have

come at better time,”

Sikora said. “The

stakes are always high, especially going into this game. The rivalry be-

tween Cadott and Stanley-Boyd has always been one I looked forward

to adding a chapter to every time we play them.”

The new leadership paid off for the Hornets as they dominated the

boards against the Orioles, 71-39, for the victory.

Senior Brett McChesney had 21 points to lead the charge for Cadott,

followed by senior Ezra Michael with 16 and senior Ben Kyes with 14.

Senior Kaeden Thom was also in double-digits with 12 and Sikora

added six to the Hornets scoreboard.

In the first half of the game, Cadott held a big lead, 35-17, which

came from the Hornets high-scoring percentages.

Mittermeyer says the team shot the ball well, going 23 for 25 from

the two-point range and eight of 14 from the three-point range.

“This was our most efficient night of the year,” said Mittermeyer. “It

was a function of our exceptional passing.”

Mittermeyer said a combination of good shooting with good rebound-

ing usually leads to a win.

Jan. 22 vs. Thorp (41-37 W, conference)

The game against Thorp was close, even though Mittermeyer said

the Cardinals controlled most of the tempo in the Jan. 22 matchup.

“Thorp has always done a nice job of controlling pace,” he said. “This

led to free throws by both teams, which we struggled with during the

game.”

In the second half, Cadott sped things up, putting on a press which

led to some quick shots and a few turnovers.

“It mostly helped our mind set to attack our own basket,” says Mit-

termeyer.

Although the Hornets shooting percentage was down, only 1 for 23

from the three-point line, the team took over the game in the final

quarter.

With the ball in Cadott’s possession late in the game,

the Hornets burned about a minute and a half off the

clock to seal the win, 41-37.

Following the conference win, Cadott played Osseo-

Lake Holcombe senior John Stender Jr. and sophomore Jer-

emiah Reedy were out with injuries during the first game this

week as the Chieftains took on two opponents.

Dave Engel, Lake Holcombe head coach, says the team still

played on point to defeat Shell Lake.

Jan. 20 vs. Shell Lake (47-19 W, non-conference)

Engel says the Chieftains defense looked aggressive as they

took on a non-conference competitor, Shell Lake, Jan. 20.

Without the two starting seniors, Lake Holcombe still had

a successful lead throughout the entire game, holding Shell

Lake to only seven points in the first half. In the other quarters,

the Chieftains dominated, defeating their opponent, 47-19.

Junior Nick Seng led for Lake Holcombe with 18 points,

followed by senior Jay Kent with seven and sophomore Reece

Kinney with six.

Eliot Dixon, a sophomore, William Hattamer, a junior, An-

drew Brosted, a freshman, and Dillan Johnson, also a fresh-

man, each scored four points for the Chieftains.

Jan. 22 vs. New Auburn (49-68 L, conference)

In the final frame of the game, Lake Holcombe took a 10-

22 hit at the basket which led to a loss against undefeated New

Auburn.

This was a target game for both teams, racing for the top

place in the East Lakeland Conference.

“You can look at the schedule and see what’s coming and

the season is a long season,” said Engel. “You never know

what’s going to happen.”

Back from injuries, Stender Jr.’s basket between corner

three-points by Reedy closed the gap for Lake Holcombe,

tying the game minutes before halftime. Just before hitting the

lockers, New Auburn scored another basket, bringing the

score 26-24.

In the final two quarters, the Trojans came back with more

momentum, banking 42 points and earning the 68-49 win.

Reedy led the Chieftains with 14 points, including all four

of his team’s three-pointers. Kent finished with 10 points

while Hattamer added nine for Lake Holcombe.

“I was proud of my boys,” Engel said. “They played hard.

They played to the last buzzer.”

Even with the defeat, Lake Holcombe has won seven of its

last nine games, and sits in third place in the conference. The

Chieftains fought for second place in the conference Jan. 27,

against Bruce.

Turnovers lead to losses for Chiefs gamesBy Kayla Peche

It’s all about keeping control for the Cornell Chiefs Boys

Basketball team said Shawn Schoelzel, Chiefs head coach.

“We need to pass better, but one turnover leads to three,

which leads to six,” Schoelzel said after a weekend loss. “We

just need to keep our composure.”

After being defeated by two non-conference opponents this

week, Cornell continues to work on their game and grow as

a team.

“I try to preach in practice to be in control and today we

just weren’t,” said Schoelzel. “We got frustrated, which led

to too many turnovers.”

Jan. 20 vs. Augusta (48-74 L, non-conference)

Cornell fell to the Augusta Beavers Jan. 20, during a home

game.

In the second quarter, the Chiefs lost energy and were

outscored, 12-29, which led to a 45-19 lead by Augusta going

into the locker rooms.

The Chiefs scored the same amount of points in the second

half of the game, but it was too late. Cornell lost to Augusta,

48-74, in the non-conference game.

Noah Nohr, a sophomore, scored 15 points to lead Cornell.

Sophomore Colton Hetke had 13 points and his classmate,

Levi Boehm, added eight for the Chiefs.

Jan. 24 vs. Eau Claire Immanuel (17-48 L, non-confer-

ence)

Shorthanded and undersized, Cornell had their work cut

out for them against Eau Claire Immanuel Lutheran, Jan. 24.

The Chiefs were outshot in the first quarter, 4-21, and

couldn’t find a way to respond.

“We couldn’t do anything offensively,” said Schoelzel.

“Their defense, they just pushed us out and we couldn’t get

anything going. We never got in a real good rhythm. They

just played really good defense.”

The Lancers defense snubbed Cornell the majority of the

game, leading to the 48-17 non-conference weekend defeat.

Cornell has struggled with physical teams all season. As a

young group still adjusting to varsity level, Eau Claire took

advantage and maintained control throughout the game.

“We’ve just got to get a little bit better on these physical

teams,” Schoelzel said. “We’re not handling it very well.

When we’re on offense we should be telling them where to

go. It’s just not happening right now.”

Nohr scored nine points for Cornell. Sophomore Mitchell

Swanson added six points and sophomore Trenton Glaus had

two for the Chiefs.

Following the game, Cornell traveled to Birchwood Jan.

27, for a conference game, then went to Boyceville Jan. 29,

and New Auburn Jan. 30, to finish a busy week.

Defense keeps game close

By Kayla Peche

Down by only one point at halftime, 16-17, the Cornell

Chiefs Girls Basketball team scuffled to catch up to Unity in

a Jan. 20 non-conference game.

“We struggled to move the ball on offense in the second

half,” said Marcus Leland, Cornell head coach, “especially

in the fourth quarter.”

During the first half of the game, Cornell gave a great de-

fensive effort to bring the game to a one point difference.

Leland says he was happy with how the girls worked hard

throughout the game, but says there are things they need to

work on for future games.

“We need to continue to work on our defensive positioning

and moving our feet,” he said.

The Chiefs efforts on defense didn’t help their offensive

game, as they were outscored, 33-21, in the second half.

Cornell fell to Unity, 37-50, in the final quarter of the

game.

Senior Makenzie Ewings had 20 points for the Chiefs, fol-

lowed by her classmates, Kammey Kendall with six and Jane

Hickethier with five.

The Chiefs had a short break before they traveled to Birch-

wood Jan. 27, for an East Lakeland Conference game.

Confidence not lost for Lake Holcombe girls

By Kayla Peche

Besides trouble with putting the ball in

the basket, Jay Geist, Lake Holcombe head

coach, said the girls basketball team keeps

their confidence up and plays hard all the

way through their games.

“They don’t quit,” he said. “They don’t

let up. We just can’t get anything to go in

when we need to.”

Jan. 20 vs. Shell Lake

(25-49 L, non-conference)

The Chieftains were only down by two

points after the first quarter against Shell

Lake in a Jan. 20 non-conference matchup.

A slow second quarter of only two points

put the hosting Lake Holcombe behind the

Lakers at halftime, 6-24.

Geist says the key thing for the girls is

banking in some hoops to make them more

competitive.

“We are getting the shots,” Geist said.

“It’s just to get our confidence up there.”

In the second half of the game, it wasn’t

much of a change offensively for the

Chieftains, until the final quarter, when

Lake Holcombe kept up to Shell Lake, 14-

15. But it wasn’t enough to win the game,

and the Chieftains fell to Shell Lake,

25-49.

Jan. 22 vs. Unity

(28-35 L, non-conference)

When the Chieftains traveled to Unity

Jan. 22, they fought through to the final

buzzer, coming back in the fourth quarter

to gain a small lead on the Eagles.

“This was a good game,” Geist said. “It

was a very fun and exciting game.”

Geist says once the Chieftains gained the

lead, Unity hit a three-pointer to come

back, which was when Lake Holcombe

was forced to foul to get possession back.

“We had to foul at the end, but they

(Unity) hit all their free throws,” he said.

Regardless of the comeback, the game

ended, 28-35, with Lake Holcombe losing

by only seven points.

“On that night, we hit some shots,” Geist

says. “When you’re scoring, you play a lit-

tle better.” 

Jan. 26 vs. Greenwood

(12-41 L, non-conference)

Lake Holcombe hosted Greenwood for

a Monday night game Jan. 26.

The Chieftains ran the ball and didn’t

have a lot of turnovers, but their offensive

game was once again their downfall.

“We could not put the ball in the basket,”

Geist said. “That’s the only thing we have

to do better, because the girls really played

hard.”

Geist says the players start every game

doing really well, but tend to fall apart

about half way through the first quarter.

Greenwood defeated Lake Holcombe,

41-12, in the non-conference play.

Following the game, the Chieftains

hosted Bruce for an East Lakeland Confer-

ence game Jan. 27, then took to the road

Jan. 30, for a match against Alma Center

Lincoln.

Cadott girls continue to

impress coach Hazuga

By Kayla Peche

Taking on the number three team in the state this week, the

Cadott Hornets Girls Basketball team impressed their coach,

Dave Hazuga, on how effectively they played.

“It was a really exciting game,” Hazuga said. “I was really

impressed with the girls.”

In both games, Hazuga says the girls played a “strong ag-

gressive defense,” which led to close game scoreboards.

Jan. 22 vs. Fall Creek (36-59 L, conference)

For a few minutes, Cadott held the lead over Fall Creek,

but as the clock ran down, the Crickets offensive power dom-

inated. Fall Creek has yet to be defeated this season.

The Crickets put a full-court press on the Hornets early in

the game, which Hazuga said the girls handled well.

“Full court pressure has been a weakness of ours,” he said.

“So I was impressed with how we handled it against probably

the best team we play on our schedule.”

Going into the third quarter, Fall Creek led, 30-12, Hazuga

said momentum began to slow and the girls couldn’t keep up,

falling 36-59 in the West Cloverbelt Conference game.

Hazuga says he was proud of the Hornets defense through-

out the game. “We focused on one of Fall Creek’s key players

and kept her scoring low.”

Despite Cadott’s defense that kept the Crickets from inside

shots, Fall Creek hit outside three-pointers, securing their win.

Junior Elizabeth Kyes scored 15 points for the Hornets,

while senior Kyla Nichols added six.

Tory Crank, a junior, and Cailin Rineck, a freshman, each

hit three total points for Cadott.

“The strongest word I can use to describe the Fall Creek

game was…I was impressed with my girls,” Hazuga said,

“because of how hard they worked to stay in that game, and

how effectively they did stay in that game.”

Jan. 23 vs. Mondovi (27-32 L, non-conference)

The Hornets were their own worst enemy against the Mon-

dovi Buffaloes Jan. 23, at Cadott. Shooting percentages and

fouls were the demons for the Hornets, and Hazuga says the

girls just had a “bad shooting game.”

“It was a tough game for us,” Hazuga said. “This was one

of the more disappointing games. Sometimes the ball doesn’t

go down.”

The second quarter is when Cadott fell behind, hitting five

points to Mondovi’s 15. The Hornets kept up with the Buf-

faloes during the third quarter, bringing the score 19-27, but

low scoring and foul trouble led to a 27-32 loss for Cadott.

Two of the Hornets starting players, Kyes and junior Char-

lene Holte, fouled out during the final quarter of the game.

“Charlene played some fantastic defense,” said Hazuga. “I

really didn’t want to take her out when she had four fouls.

She really plays all out to win.”

Kyes led Cadott with 10 points, and freshman Alexis

Kramer and Crank each added four points for the Hornets.

The Hornets traveled to Osseo-Fairchild Jan. 27, then host

the Altoona Railroaders Jan. 30, for two conference games.

Jan. 29 - Feb. 5• SPORTSWEEK •

By Monique Westaby

The Hornets wrestling team started their week off with

a rough home meet against Spencer, losing a portion of

their points for forfeits. But the team rallied back from the

10-56 loss to take seventh at an Arcadia hosted tournament.

Jan. 22 vs. Spencer (conference)

It was a tough start to the week for the varsity wrestling

team in Cadott, when they hosted Spencer for parents’

night Jan. 22. The Hornets forfeited four of the 14 matches,

and only three wrestlers brought in points for the team.

Sophomore Isaiah Pecha was given best takedown for

the day, while Cole Hanson, senior, earned best effort and

three points for his 5-1 decision over Travis Stelson.

“Cole wrestled a great match,” said Josh Spaeth, Cadott

head coach. “He never stopped working for the pin.”

Andrew Gunderson, freshman, and Austin Najbrt, senior,

also earned points for their team during the 10-56 loss.

Jan. 24 Arcadia Invitational

Two days after the Spencer defeat, the Hornets traveled

to Arcadia to challenge 15 other teams, coming away with

a seventh place finish.

Tyler Gillett, a junior, earned best effort, winning all five

of his tournament matchups, and a first place finish, his

second tournament win for the year.

“Tyler has perfect practice attendance and always works

hard,” said Spaeth. “Keep working hard Tyler, your hard

work and dedication will pay off.”

Senior Austin Najbrt took home a first place title as well,

winning all of his matches – four by fall, and one by tech-

nical fall. Najbrt was given Fastest Pin, with his 13 second

fall over Viroqua’s Delilah Vance, and racked up 53.50

points for his team.

Also placing at the tournament were Cole Hanson, sen-

ior, in second; Andrew Gunderson, freshman, and Wyatt

Cote, sophomore, in third; Bailey Gillett, freshman, in sev-

enth; Blake Borntrager, senior, in eighth; Dominick

Grimm, sophomore, in 11th; and Isaiah Pecha, sophomore,

in 13th.

Cote was also given Best Takedown, and earned 39 team

points, winning three of his five matches.

With only three scheduled meets left, the Hornets hosted

Lack of wrestlers means

low scores for Wolfpack

By Kayla Peche

Because of illness, injuries and family events, the Cornell-

Lake Holcombe-Gilman Wolfpack Wrestling team was short-

handed for the Jan. 24 St. Croix Falls tournament.

Normally a team of 13, the five who wrestled for the Wolf-

pack each had some success by winning at least one match.

“It was a very tough tournament,” said Greg Sonnentag,

Wolfpack head coach. “The competition was good for us and

showed the boys that we need to keep working.”

Senior Eric Nedland was the only wrestler who placed for

the Wolfpack, taking third at 126 pounds. Nedland began

with a bye to advance to the quarterfinals, where he defeated

Princeton’s Alex Roubillard by a fall.

In the third place match, Nedland won by decision, 11-4,

over Boyceville’s Brock Swenson to earn points for Cornell-

Lake Holcombe-Gilman.

“Eric Nedland wrestled very well as an individual,” Son-

nentag said.

The other four wrestlers attending, freshman Paul Nedland,

senior Spencer Gibson, senior Dusty Boehm and sophomore

Jake Hillebrand, each won a match for the Wolfpack, bring-

ing the score to 24 points and putting them in 18th place.

Sonnentag says the team only has a few weeks to prepare

for their tournament run in February. Cornell-Lake Hol-

combe-Gilman will host a match against Flambeau in Cornell

Jan. 29, for their next competition.

Boyceville Jan. 16.

Cole Ackley, JV wrestler, took first place, fastest pin and

best effort at the tournament, followed by Bennett Bowe and

Wyatt Cote, each placing second.

Josh Spaeth, Cadott head coach, said Ackley and Cote each

“This is his (Ackley’s) first tournament back from being in-

jured and he won the tournament,” he said.

up.”

Mitchell Hazard, Brandon Pederson and Isaiah Pecha took

third place at the tournament, and Adam Shakal took fourth

first place, while Josh Briggs, Jene Hudack, Steven Pfeiffer,

Zak Schofield, Jaret Semanko and Nelson Wahl took second.

A third place finish went to Mitchell Gunderson, and fourth

“Mitchell wrestled two overtime matches,” Spaeth said. “He

never quits wrestling and always leads his team by example.”

Jr. high also hosted a match Jan. 22, against Spencer, and

won, 43-0. Josh Briggs received fastest pin, Ethan Tegels had

the best takedown, and Nelson Wahl received best effort.

“Nelson wrestled two dominant matches tonight,” said

Spaeth. “He did not allow his opponents to score a single

point.”

Cadott youth wrestlers had two weekend tournaments in a

row, starting with 20 traveling to Prairie Farm Jan. 17.

“These little wrestlers are working hard at practice and it is

Snowy owls return in large numbersFor a second consecutive year, snowy owls are returning

to Wisconsin in large numbers.

Ryan Brady, a WisDNR research scientist, has been

tracking this year’s irruption, and reports approximately

239 owls have been reported statewide, compared to 224

as of this date last year. Both totals are far above average.

“Many Wisconsinites recall the winter of 2013-14 as one

of the best on record, so it’s surprising we are seeing similar

or even slightly better numbers this winter,” said Brady,

who also serves as bird monitoring coordinator for the Wis-

consin Bird Conservation Initiative. “We usually see one

irruption event every three to five years, but Wisconsin has

experienced three in the past four winters.”

According to Brady, the reason for these periodic influxes

into the state, also known as irruptions, is not well known.

Traditional thought suggested that a temporary shortage of

the owl’s primary prey in the Canadian arctic, a mouse-like

rodent known as a lemming, pushed owls southward. How-

ever, more recent evidence suggests nearly the opposite.

It is believed that an abundance of lemmings may allow

birds to raise large families – these young owls then dis-

perse southward into the region by the hundreds.

“A common myth is that the majority of these birds are

starving in an unfamiliar landscape,” said Brady. “How-

ever, decades of data and experience indicate this is not

true.”

Many snowy owls seek out open habitats similar to the

arctic tundra they call home. Common habitats include

coastal beaches and harbors, open grasslands and agricul-

tural fields, wetland complexes, airports, and vast expanses

of ice-covered water bodies.

Owls in Wisconsin tend to focus on voles, mice, shrews,

and other small rodents for food. Snowy owls are also

known to pursue rabbits, weasels, pigeons and ducks.

Snowy owls are currently seen in most non-forested areas

of the state. Hotspots include airports and farm country

from Green Bay to Appleton, Collins Marsh State Wildlife

Area, Horicon Marsh, the Antigo area, the city of Superior,

Dunn County, Milwaukee lakefront, and the Highway 29

corridor between Wausau and Eau Claire.

While snowy owls can be seen during the day, the dawn

and dusk periods often provide a better chance of success.

Interested bird watchers are encouraged to explore area

roads and all potential perches carefully, including ground-

level, haybales, fenceposts, telephone poles, breakwalls,

silos and other buildings.

Snowy owls are expected to maintain their Wiscon-

sin residence through March before beginning their

northward migration back to arctic Canada.

“These are magical creatures – stunning in ap-

pearance, unpredictable, mysterious, and the

epitome of wild,” said Brady. “I may never visit

their remote haunts thousands of miles to the

north but seeing one here brings a sliver of that wilder-

ness to me.”

been at it long when

his jig pole started

bending and the line

peeled off his reel at

a rapid pace. Dick

had a large fish on

and it was obvious.

I would be the

“gaff guy,” which

can be a real loser’s

job. After a good 10

minutes, the gator

was at the bottom of the hole and I hit it with the gaff (an

extremely worn out, junk gaff of Dick’s). I was pulling it

up and out of Lake Puckaway when the hook on Dick’s gaff

straightened and what would be a 35 inch trophy, was off

and running. I gave up on the gaff and used two hands, and

Dick was now winning our gator contest in a solid way.

Today would be a very casual day for the four of us.

Temps in the high 30s, a steady bite with the tip ups and, as

always, lots of laughs.

On Puckaway you can keep one northern pike and it must

be 32 inches. Some people fish this lake for years and never

catch a “legal.”

This day, our group was very fortunate as I caught a 36

that was a true pigasauras and, unfortunately for my

brother-in-law, now put his trophy in second place.

Late in the day it was brats on the grill and a first rate

birthday party. Just before dark Dylan had a flag and did an

excellent job of landing a 33 inch gator.

We fished until the wee hours of the next day and when

we went to bed, our ambition was a little lacking – instead

of putting up our cots we crashed on the floor of the shack.

At 6:10 a.m. our phones started making noise and our

buddy, Cole Koepp, was on the ice looking for us. I must

have had the flu or something because I felt terrible.

Anyway, one more legal

gator was caught and our

simple getaway almost has

to become annual.

Someone throw Dick’s

gaff away!

Where the Chippewa & Flambeau Rivers Meet

Pup and Gators on Puckaway

Hello friends,

This job is all about having fun in the outdoors, in a

bunch of different ways, while traveling the upper midwest

and writing about it. This week I pegged out the fun meter

and watched our golden retriever, Fire, give birth to 10

pups.

Thursday, Jan. 15 • High 29, Low 16

Selina, my daughter, had just gone to bed and, as usual,

her pal, Fire, was laying next to her. About a half hour after

we said goodnight, Selina came down to the living room

and said, “Dad, Fire is having her pups.” That was about

10 p.m.

The first was born in her bed; the next nine were born in

her whelping box in the living room. There are seven males

and three females. As of this writing, I have three males left.

If you are interested in one of those pups get a hold of me

ASAP.

Saturday, Jan. 17 • High 38, Low 23

Five days ago my brother, Mike, gave me a call and asked

me where I thought a good place would be to go winter

camping and ice fishing. I was planning on bobcat hunting

(that has been challenging) and I figured I would do some

recon for Mike, his 13-year-old son, Dylan, and my brother-

in-law, Dick Schuster.

My thoughts were to suggest my buddy, captain Justin

Kohn, who runs All Season’s Adventures (920-229-3494).

I gave Justin a call and not only did he say fish Puckaway,

but he told me he just put a shack on the ice that these guys

could sleep in.

A new and fun twist came to this adventure when the cat

hunt was cancelled because of lack of snow, and I was able

to join Dick, Mike and Dylan.

Yesterday was Dick’s birthday, so of course we would

have to celebrate. The fun began about 30 minutes after our

arrival.

Mike, Dylan and I put out eight tip ups rigged with 12

pound fluorocarbon lead-

ers, number 12 treble hooks

and medium golden shin-

ers. Dick put out two tip

ups and jigged with his

third line.

The birthday boy had not

Mike and Dylan Walters, Dick Schuster and Mark Wal-

ters with four legal northern pike they caught on Lake

Puckaway.

Fire has given birth to 10 pups.

A Weekend Worth It

It was late and Kendra’s

feet were cold, so her dad

took her home. But Scott (my husband), Jerry (our friend)

and I weren’t quite ready for bed. And neither were Blaze,

Chaos or Cordellia.

We tried another cornfield and the dogs took off exactly

the direction we wanted them to go. But in the world of

hunting, keeping things going the way you want them to

is a rare occurrence. Within minutes, all three turned and

headed the opposite direction.

When they reached the road more traveled, they took a

hard east turn and continued on their way. This wasn’t

necessarily a bad direction for them to head, as long as

they didn’t go to the road. But whether they followed

scent or it was just easier running was still up in the air.

Chaos darted in and out of the cornfields, while Blaze

and Cordellia B-lined it for blacktop. Big surprise. We

bounced across the trail and yelled for the two rascals

click-clacking down the road.

They turned and smiled, tails wagging and ears flop-

ping while they calmy trotted back to the truck. We

hoisted them into the truck and headed back to where we

had left Chaos.

She barked intermittently amongst the rows but we

were still unsure if she was on a track or just out for an

evening run. The bouncing culminating from eight legs

moving back and forth in the box, along with the ever-

growing whining volume, made it obvious Blaze and

Cord wanted to join their sister.

Already annoyed from the blacktop pick-up, the whin-

ing hit a nerve and we opened the door so we didn’t have

to listen to it anymore. Like bats out of hell the two bolted

straight to Chaos. Within a matter of minutes, all three

were treed, and their barking confirmed the GPS beeps.

They were only about 100 yards down the edge of the

field, and we grabbed leads, a gun, ammo and a camera

and headed in. It was only the length of a football field,

but cornstalks and brush make for a seemingly longer

hike – not that I’d prefer prickly ash or a swamp, but

maybe treeing on the edge of a bean or hayfield wouldn’t

be too much to ask for every now and again.

We arrived at the tree and two bandits were hiding

amongst the branches. These two coon may not have won

any contest, or kept a family from going hungry, but the

dogs were excited and so were we.

After tying leads to the dogs and patting them up and

down for their work, we found a good shot and took both

coon, saving a few more cornstalks for another day.

I led out Blaze, our 80 pound “behemoth” walker, while

Jerry took Cordellia, our “rat on acid” 30 pound black and

tan. Scott carried the coon, which maybe added up to one

regular size coon, and led out Chaos, our 40 pound “It’s

not living anymore so I could care less about it”

walker/bluetick.

We called it a night and Scott skinned the coon and

added them to the already nearly full old freezer. It was a

great couple nights of opening coon hunting weekend and

although I didn’t get much sleep, it was totally worth it.

It’s a Girl ’s Hunting LifeBy: Mon i qu e Wes taby

Like looking for a coon

in the tree at night, if

they’re not looking,

sometimes the easiest

way to spot one is by

the rings on their tail.

This tree has two, can

you spot them?

‘Soup-er’ school will host 100 years of basketball alumni

By Monique Westaby

Most activities for basketball games at Lake Holcombe begin

after 5 p.m. on weeknights, but next week, spectators might want

to plan to head to the school a little earlier for some extra activities

during the evening’s matchup against Cornell.

At 4:30 p.m. Feb. 5, just before the girls and boys basketball

games, the Lake Holcombe Student Council will host their Our

School is Soup-er fundraiser.

Kate Elling, student council adviser, says chili, and chicken

noodle soup with crackers, cheese and dessert, will be served

from 4:30-6 p.m. with a free-will donation.

“Half of the monies collected will be given to the Holcombe

Food Pantry,” says Elling. “The other half will be used by the

student council.”

Elling says the fundraiser was planned because the student

council wanted to show their appreciation to the teachers, coaches

and community for their support.

“It’s just our way to recognize our ‘soup-er’ school,” she said.

But that’s not the only event happening that night which coin-

cides with the conference rivals game; it also marks the night in

which Lake Holcombe and the WIAA will honor the 100 years

of boys basketball in Wisconsin.

“To celebrate, Lake Holcombe will host an alumni night for

the basketball games against Cornell,” said Cindy Miller, athletic

director. “There will be free admission for everyone who comes

to the game.”

Miller says there will also be a sign-up sheet for anyone who

has played boys basketball at Lake Holcombe, and those names

of past players will be announced between games.

Rosters from Lake Holcombe can be found from over 80 years

ago, signifying that a boys team in Lake Holcombe has been

around since at least the 1926-27 season. The team had seven

players and was led by Coach Wentz.

The game has seen a lot of changes since its start in 1915, in-

cluding three point baskets, ball dunking and a faster paced more

physical game.

Miller says for the next 100 years, she would like to see Lake

Holcombe maintain what they have, and not lose their program.

Not only will alumni in attendance be honored, as well as free

admission for anyone attending the games, but cake and rootbeer

floats will also be provided following the final buzzer.

The girls varsity and boys JV games are set to begin at 5:45

p.m., with the boys varsity and girls JV tip-off to happen at 7:15

p.m., at Lake Holcombe School.

Pat says the students discovered there is a

lot of work in running a government, and re-

ceived a “taste” of the responsibility that is

required to govern people.

The students were also taught how to com-

promise when it came to voting bills into law.

The house and senate worked on bills, made

compromises and changes to bills, then

passed them on to the president to sign into

law or veto.

“I think it is important because it is our

duty as educators to prepare our students to

be participating, responsible citizens,” Pat

said of the education from the unit. “By giv-

ing students a peek into how we are gov-

erned, they will have a better understanding

about how our nation functions and be active

participants in the future.”

Jenny Blaisdell, 21st Century Community

Learning Center afterschool coordinator,

said it was a great experience for all involved,

and plans to have more sessions like this in

the future.

grade class for 15 years, and

adapted the unit for Jr. high

students in the afterschool

program. He says the stu-

dents ran the government for

their own country, Pandora.

“They used the American

Government model for mak-

ing laws to govern Pandora,”

Pat said. “I feel since these

students will be future tax-

payers, they should know

where their future tax money

goes and how it is spent.”

Once naming and building

a 3D model of their “Pando-

rian” city, the students

elected a president, vice

president, senate and house

of representatives. The stu-

dents would also have had a

supreme court, but time con-

straint was an issue.

Students in the Monday night afterschool enrich-

ment program at the Cornell Middle school sur-

round their 3D diorama of “Pandorian” city. The

students formed their own country of Pandora with

its own laws and completed the eight week Ameri-

can Government course by creating a 3D model,

and running a government in their city.

Government comes to life

By Kayla Peche

During class, students are given the oppor-

tunity to learn about how American Govern-

ment operates, using textbooks and online

sources. But Cornell and Lake Holcombe’s

21st Century Community Learning Center

Afterschool program provides students with

a real-life simulation into government func-

tions.

“Students are our future leaders and tax-

payers,” said Pat Talbot, director of the after-

school American Government simulation

and Lake Holcombe third grade teacher.

“They should know how their government

works and how they can be informed partic-

ipants in the future.”

Pat, with his wife, Judy Talbot, mayor of

Cornell, directed the eight week American

Government simulation unit Monday

evenings after school, involving Jr. high stu-

dents to create their own country and gov-

ernment diorama.

Pat has been teaching the unit to his third
