Public discussion plans future of Cobban Bridge

The WisDOT and Chippewa County

will conduct two public involvement

meetings to discuss a location study of

the Cobban Bridge on State Highway

178, south of Cornell.

Both meetings, one in Cornell, one in

Chippewa Falls, will be held to con-

sider detailed study alternatives and

their impacts, and the selection of a pre-

ferred alternative for the bridge.

Cornell’s meeting will be held in the

Cornell High School Commons Tues-

day, Jan. 5, from 5-6:30 p.m. The sec-

ond meeting will be held the following

night, Jan. 6, from 5-6:30 p.m. at the

Chippewa County Highway Depart-

ment Building Commons in Chippewa

Falls.

A brief presentation is scheduled to

begin at 5:15 p.m. at both locations, fol-

lowed by an open-house format the re-

mainder of the time, where anyone

interested can share comments, ask

questions and give or get more infor-

mation.

Exhibits and maps will also be avail-

able for review.

Lake Holcombe School BoardTransportation waiver saves district money

By Monique Westaby

In an effort to eliminate extra costs and inconvenience to

students and parents, the Lake Holcombe School Board ap-

proved a student transportation waiver (pending discussion

with the district attorney), at the Dec. 21 regular meeting.

Jeff Mastin, superintendent, said athletic directors from

Cornell and Lake Holcombe compared waiver policies, and

brought a recommendation to adminstration.

“What we’re looking at there is having that in place be-

cause we have a couple of our students who are able to trans-

port themselves,” said Mastin. “If we can have them do that,

if they want to do that, instead of providing transportation for

them that they don’t necessarily use, we would be saving the

district.”

Mastin says it comes to $36 per day, or $180 each week

that could be saved by not providing unneeded transportation.

He says it’s mostly focused on the co-oped wrestling team,

but is planned to expand to co-oped football as well.

“We just wanted to have the flexibility of offering that,”

said Mastin. “Right now we’re not allowing kids that do not

have their license to do it. Whereas, if you have a brother that

drives, and you don’t drive, we’re asking them to ride the

bus, it costs the district money instead of just saving the time,

effort and energy of going with their brother or older sibling.”

Corey Grape, board president, asked if the waiver would

change requirements for students with a co-oped football

game in Cornell having to ride the bus. Grape said concern

arose when students drove to Lake Holcombe to ride the bus

back to Cornell, then needed a ride back to Lake Holcombe

to get their vehicle following the game.

“That’s part of it as well,” said Mastin. “I think we are fo-

cusing on wrestling right now, but from what Cindy (Miller)

said, our athletic director, she talked about saving that merry-

go-round too.”

Cadott Village Board

Energy prices set for next nine years

By Kayla Peche

Cadott village residents don’t have to look into a crystal

ball to see what electricity costs will be for 2024, because the

Cadott Village Board approved those prices at the Dec. 21

regular meeting.

“I was real hesitant to go out that far at first,” said Neil

Aubart, village electric journeyman lineman. “How do you

foresee the future and what prices are going to be? Well, if

you can get it for cheaper than what we are paying for it right

now – doesn’t that make sense to go forward with it for three

years?”

In a previous contract, the board approved to extend their

electricity costs until 2021, with this, Aubart suggested to go

even further and guarantee their pricing for another three

years. The 2021 prices are set for $48.75, and now the village

approved the contract for $48 all the way to 2024.

“You know that the prices are slightly lower than what

we’ve been paying or what we will be paying,” said Anson

Albarado, village president.

Aubart says the only downfall for the village is that capac-

ity prices aren’t set in stone.

“We won’t know until later because the way capacity

prices are now, they’re high,” he said. “It’s so far out for them

to judge at, so they put a big projected number…I wish those

costs (energy and capacity) went hand-in-hand, but they

don’t.”

Capacity is the physical amount of generation (power

plant) the company has available to serve in megawatts. It

represents power plants potential to generate electricity, ac-

cording to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Aubart said that’s why the village is doing a generation

study to see if they can put a power plant in or possibly buy

into a power plant in the area.

“That’s what the study will tell us,” he said. “So then we

will know the capacity prices.”

Aubart will return to discuss the results of the study when

information is available.

During correspondence, Sandy Buetow, village clerk, dis-

cussed the Cadott Lions Club offering to help with costs of

replacing Rick’s Halfway Hall and Sports Bar signs.

In early December, vandals wrote on signs, buses and

buildings with magic marker around the village, and were

apprehended by Cadott police. The restitution has not yet

been settled, but the village offered to re-do both Halfway

signs, even though only one was vandalized.

“If there’s any restitution from the vandalism, it would

only be for the one sign,” said Buetow. “So the Lions, I think,

said they would help the village support that cause.”

Buetow said each of the Halfway signs (front and back)

will be replaced to match each other.

visit 13-month-old Issac Hakes at the Cornell Food

Pantry Dec. 22. Although Issac is a little too young

didn’t stop older children from giving last minute

gift requests. (Photo by Ginna Young)

The Cornell skating rink will open by noon, Thurs-

day, Dec. 31, with a change of address. No need to

call for a U-Haul, the rink has only moved a few feet

away to the inside of the Mill Yard Park pavilion. John

Westaby, Cornell utility/public works supervisor,

says the indoor rink has been an idea for awhile and

will save city employees a lot of time when it snows.

who chose to put themselves in a dangerous

situation; maybe the fire department should

have just stayed home that time.

When I read the Glen Loch news story

this weekend, all those emotions came

rushing back. It was like I was back in the

moment and I could feel my stomach

wrench.

Temperatures this year have been so out

of the ordinary, it would take a fool to put

themselves, and someone else, in unneeded

danger. It may be December, and they may

be “out at the park,” but not everywhere has

enough ice to support the weight of you and

your gear.

Until there is enough, think about your-

self and others, and use your brain before

you do something stupid.

Managing Editor

They’re already out atthe park.

I bet they’re fishingMarshmiller.

Every year I hear these

phrases earlier and ear-

lier. It seems even before the weather hits

freezing, someone mentions seeing an ice-

fisher on some body of water. At first, I

chuckle at the stupidity of some people, but

then I wonder, is catching a crappie really

worth the risk to my loved ones?

This past weekend, as I rolled through

my news feed on social media, several of

my friends had shared a news story happen-

ing in Chippewa.

Two men had been pulled from the Glen

Loch waters after someone heard cries for

help on the ice. Several emergency re-

sponse teams were called, including the

Chippewa Fire District Dive Team.

According to the release from the sher-

iff’s department, both men were fishing

separately when the first fell through the

ice. He screamed, and the second man came

to help, also falling in the water. Both died.

Both died. Over fish.

Was it really worth it?

Not only did both parties risk their lives,

but they also risked the lives of all emer-

gency personnel who came to their rescue.

While the dive team may be trained on how

to handle these situations, it is not a guar-

antee that something won’t go wrong.

The sickening feeling of knowing your

family member has to be on fragile, thin ice

to help someone who chose to go on some-

thing so unpredictable is unbearable. Every

second you wonder if they will return.

With a husband on the fire department,

and always willing to be the first to help, I

know the feeling all too well.

Several years ago, as a newlywed, my

husband was called to assist someone who

was on the ice, on the river. The details

were vague and as I thought about my man

being on dangerously thin ice to save some-

one else, I prayed.

I clung to the radio, waiting for any indi-

cation that everyone was OK.

Then, like a ton of bricks, someone said

Cornell 40 had fallen through the ice and

needed help.

Cornell 40. That was him.

Unsure of what to do I prayed even

harder. I prayed for my husband. I prayed

for the rest of the rescue team. I prayed for

the person they were trying to rescue.

As it turned out, my husband, following

the man’s footprints, was in a dive suit and

didn’t actually fall through the ice, but

rather determined the jello-like movement

of the “ice” under him was unsafe.

Not wanting to break through and get

caught in a current, my husband remem-

bered his training and laid down flat to dis-

tribute his weight, waiting for assistance.

And even then, the assistance, with a safety

sled, kept breaking through.

Medically, everything was OK. Mentally,

he was fine, but I was a wreck.

Later, I learned it was all for nothing. The

person they were “rescuing” was drunk,

crashed his vehicle, then walked across the

barely frozen river away from the scene;

making it across without an issue.

My loved one, and my friends loved

on the couch until bedtime. I actually

thought there was something really wrong

with me.

And then, in the early spring, I got into

some cleaning supplies that decided to de-

clare war on my body. A few miserable days

and one doctor’s visit later, with antibiotics

in me, I started feeling a little better. Turns

out, I never really got over a sickness I’d

come down with almost a year before.

As I progressed more each day, gaining

strength, I truly thought maybe the year

could be salvaged after all. Fast forward to

May 18 – the day I spent in the hospital with

my sister/office manager after she suffered a

severe stroke in the wee hours.

Back to rock bottom I went.

Although she pulled through, and has since

made wonderful progress, at the time it was

extremely stressful with her in the hospital

at Eau Claire, and the rest of the family here,

trying to take care of two households. In ad-

dition, I had to pick up most of her workload,

some of which I didn’t know how to do.

Eventually she came home – just in time

for our editor to deliver an adorable, bounc-

ing baby boy. (Love at first sight!) That

meant more of an increased workload for the

rest of us and a very hectic schedule.

In amongst all of this, the office went

through a switch up with the bookkeeping

system, something we’re still in the process

of working through and updating.

As we close out the year and I look back

on the last 12 months, even with all the bad

things that happened, it was still a great year.

Yep, you read that right.

Scattered between the bad moments were

times I don’t ever want to forget. I had a lot

of dreams come true this year, and while

they may seem trivial or unimportant to

someone else, I wouldn’t trade them for any-

thing.

Like going to see my favorite band per-

form live for the first time, or seeing Keith

Urban with my sister. And finally, finally,

watching a Triple Crown horse race after

waiting my entire life, or seeing the Duke

Blue Devils win yet another national cham-

pionship.

The geek side of me especially had a field

day this year, with Pi Day in March (3.14.15)

and making it “to the future” (Oct. 21, 2015,

mentioned in 1989’s Back to the Future 2).

Throw a new Star Wars movie into the mix

and nerd me is on cloud nine.

I even broke down and bought my very

own, brand new camera; a dream I’ve had

forever. It is, and probably will be, the best

purchase I ever made. Not only does it take

good photos, but it’s nice to always have a

camera at my fingertips.

But maybe more than all of that, it’s the

things I’ve done and seen that can’t be com-

pared. Through the job I love, I’ve met some

amazing people and seen some awesome

things.

I’ve met someone who raises butterflies,

and someone who uses his hands instead of

his eyes to make beautiful creations. I’ve

met people with unique abilities, talents and

collections. I’ve met teenagers who write

published poetry, and earn national recogni-

tion in archery and mounted shooting.

I’ve seen people – some I’ve known my

entire life – retire from directing the commu-

nity play, running a feed store and driving

school bus. I’ve even seen an area church

and an area person turn 100 years old.

That doesn’t even include the normal,

everyday happenings and triumphs, or the

things I don’t personally cover/write about.

And I can’t forget the words of encourage-

ment and help through rough times, the

bonds of a tight-knit community and the sup-

port of co-workers.

Though they don’t have to, these people

share their lives with me and leave a mark

on my heart that will never leave.

Through everything, I’ve found a strength

I didn’t know I had. A determination to

climb to the top, no matter how many times

I slip and fall. No matter what comes from

this time forward, I know I can face it and

become better than I was the day before.

While I’m busier than I have ever been in

my life, I feel the best I ever have and am

filled with an energy that won’t quit; an inner

fire that won’t be squelched, no matter what

curves are thrown my way.

So, as the new year rolls in, I can’t wait to

see what it will bring as I make my dreams

come true. Whether it’s a little hill or a big,

old mountain, I have my hiking boots

strapped on and look forward to the view

from the top in 2016.

And I will see my dreams come alive atnight, I will touch the sky. And they’re notgonna hold me down no more, no they’re notgonna change my mind.

For me, this year hasbeen a long road, getting

I told myself this was the year my dreams

would come true. Little did I know, life had

other plans.

Every day has seemed to bring a new sur-

plans. It felt like there were a lot more downs

Joe Stansbury, board member, asked if the waiver is ap-

proved, who would be liable if a student violated state im-

plemented restrictions on their license, such as number of

passengers allowed.

“I can see where you could be concerned,” said Grape.

“But if the transportation waiver is signed, it’s also signed by

the parents acknowledging, so that should…I mean, that’s

why we have them sign it.”

Stansbury asked if the district attorney could look at it for

clarification. The board agreed, approving the transportation

waiver with the exception that it would come back to the

board if the attorney suggested additions or changes.

On other agenda, Mastin congratulated the Cornell-Lake

Holcombe cross country team for being awarded the Lake-

land Conference Sportsmanship award for 2015, and recog-

nized guidance counselor Barb Van Doorn for being

nominated for a Kohl Scholarship.

“Barb has been moved on to the next round,” said Mastin.

“She was approved at the local level in CESA 10 and is now

at the state level.”

If chosen, Van Doorn would receive $3,000 for herself, as

well as for the school.

In his superintendent report, Mastin thanked John Ewer for

again donating 2 tons of salt to the district, a $500 value, and

Monarch Paving Company for a $1,000 donation to purchase

items for families in need during the holiday season.

“A lot of snow pants, boots, coats, hats, things like that

were purchased,” said Mastin. “That was something Barb

Van Doorn coordinated with some of our students; went

shopping for, wrapped it up and they were delivered.

With the Christmas rush out of the way, store shelves may

look a little bare – and they’re not the only things sitting

empty. Red Cross blood stocks are low and donating blood

isn’t something people are thinking about, says Cornell Com-

munity Blood Drive organizer Sue Jensen.

“Because of the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, blood

drives are down,” said Jensen.

Residents can remedy that by visiting Our Savior’s

Lutheran Church Monday, Jan. 4, from noon-6 p.m. A

driver’s license or blood donor card are required, and 16-

year-olds are eligible to donate with a signed Red Cross

parental consent form.

Jensen’s goal is set at 29 pints, and says any blood types

are welcome.

“We need all types currently,” said Jensen.

To schedule an appointment call 715-239-6752.

If someone can’t make it to Cornell, the Cadott Future

Business Leaders of America (FBLA) will hold their own

blood drive Wednesday, Jan. 7, from 7:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.,

at the Cadott High School small gym.

“People will be helping save lives,” said Austin Goettl,

Cadott senior and chair of the blood drive. “We need blood.”

FBLA members will be on hand to help Red Cross person-

nel unload equipment and record student donations.

Donors can register at the school office (715-289-3795),

but the students say walk-ins are welcome.

“It’d be awesome if you can come in and give,” said

Goettl.

Community drives looking to ‘build’ up blood reserves

Doran celebrates his 70th birthday with performance

Michael Doran, co-director of Lynn Dance Company at

ChaliceStream Studio, will celebrate his 70th birthday by per-

forming a few of his best-loved solo pieces Sunday, Jan. 3,

beginning at 4 p.m. in ChaliceStream Studio.

In 1978 Doran, with Lynn Dance Company founder Barry

Lynn, established a base for their company on an 80-acre par-

cel south of Ladysmith, which Doran’s family had purchased

in 1944 and where, as a youth vacationing from Chicago, he

had spent summers with his grandparents.

In 1971 Doran moved onto the property and taught English

in the Winter and Ladysmith School Districts. During this

time he was also active in local theater, appearing with the

Ladysmith Community Players and in Mount Senario Col-

lege musical productions.

While studying dance with Rosalie Jones, who taught at

Mount Senario, he was introduced to one of her mentors,

Lynn. Based on the performances Doran saw Lynn’s com-

pany do while they toured in Wisconsin, he says he decided

to join the troupe and move to Salt Lake City.

The following year, after Lynn retired from his work at the

University of Utah, the company considered relocating.

Doran suggested they re-base on the acreage he had left, say-

ing he recognized the locale to be “an unlikely place for trans-

planting a dance form that struggles even in the city to attract

audiences.”

But Doran’s personal connection to that land and Lynn’s

readiness to leave the trendiness brought them to pioneer

their art in the north woods.

The other company members opted out of the move, leav-

ing Doran and Lynn to make the transition alone.

Once unpacked, they began searching for a studio space in

which to teach and perform. Doran recalled having taken

mime classes one summer which were housed in a former

schoolhouse in the Spring Green area and knew that a similar

structure was sitting abandoned a few miles down the road

from his property.

He and Lynn took a look at the old Willard Center School

and immediately envisioned it becoming their studio. Work-

ing through the town board they arranged a public bidding

on the building. Their bid was accepted and they hired a

mover to transport the old schoolhouse 3 miles up the road

to their land.

“The rest,” as they say, “is history.”

Doran will hold his milestone celebration/performance in

the schoolhouse he and Lynn christened “ChaliceStream”

Studio 36 years ago. The public is invited to the free perform-

ance and reception to follow.

Michael Doran, co-director of Lynn Dance Com-

pany, will celebrate his 70th birthday with a per-

formance of his favorite solo pieces Sunday, Jan.

3, at ChaliceStream Studio.

By Janice Craig • 715-595-4380

The weathermen predicted a brown Christmas, but we had

a white one after all. This made for slippery roads, but driving

slow you could get there safely.

Bob and Barb Lompa spent Christmas with Bob Lompa Jr.

in West Bend. Kristen Kashboski, Josh and Kala joined them.

Anita Pernsteiner and daughter drove to Rochester, Minn.,

to the Mayo clinic to meet with Anita’s other daughter who

was having tests.

Anita and her husband, Bernie, drove to Medford on

Christmas and spent the day with their children. All eight

families gathered with them.

Oakley and Janice Craig drove to Hudson Thursday to

spend the day and night with their son, Okello. He cooked

them a supper and breakfast.

They drove to Winona, Minn., Friday, to spend the day

with their daughter, Katrina, her husband, Jim Young, and

family. Their granddaughter, Jessica, was home from Ames,

Iowa. Their grandson, Danny, had just taken a cruise to the

Bahamas with two friends, so they got to see the pictures he

had taken.

I pray the New Year will be a very productive year and you

can say it was a blessed year.

By Ginna Young

In a world filled with automated swipe-and-go gas stations,

you probably don’t expect to find a 1950s style service station

in rural Holcombe, but it’s there – if you know where to look.

The hobby garage belongs to Dave Conrad, who spent 40

years in the Army Reserve before retiring as a chief warrant

officer this past fall. During his service, he was stationed in

Orlando, Fla., and while there found a piece of a time gone

by.

On his daily drive to work, Conrad discovered Kissimee

boasted an old gas station turned visitor center on the main

drag. He stopped to take pictures and look at the information

on old service stations, and the rest, as they say, is history.

“I was thinking to myself, that’s pretty cool…I really like

this building,” said Conrad. “You know, I’m just going to

build this gas station up at my place.”

Conrad measured the building and sent plans back home,

enlisting Gary Loring to build his dream garage. Over a three

year period, the duo constructed the 1950s style service sta-

tion with the help of other area contractors.

“Gary loved it,” said Conrad. “I’d give him an idea and he

just rolled with it.”

Although not a complete twin of the one in Kissimee, Con-

rad’s building comes close and brought part of the mother

station with it to Wisconsin.

“When they found out I was going to build one, they gave

me some pictures,” said Conrad. “The lady at the visitors cen-

ter is actually from Minnesota.”

Stepping into the fill-in station might take some back in

time, right down to the ding-ding as you drive in and the

oldies music playing on the “jukebox.” Adding to the am-

biance is the small soda shop area near the counter, as well

as the antiques/collectibles lining the walls.

With black and white checkerboard floors, vintage cash

register and candy jars, the clock seems to turn back a few

decades to a simpler time.

“That was my goal, to go around the ’50-’60s era,” said

Conrad. “It’s amazing what you can find.”

Pieces of the collection have come from across the country,

with many found in Florida and North Carolina. A few pieces,

like one of the twin pumps out front, came from the old Hol-

combe Marina.

Although he hadn’t planned on giving official tours, at

Conrad’s retirement party a few months ago, he says the little

shop saw a steady stream of visitors.

“Everybody had to come through here and see this,” said

Conrad with a laugh.

While he’s not ruling out more tours in the future, for the

time being, Conrad plans to work on his motorcycles and find

old cars/trucks to restore.

“It’s been fun,” says Conrad. “That’s always been my plan,

to retire and come back home, and then putz around with my

old trucks. It’s been a blast doing it.”

Knights awarded for good sportsmanship

By Kayla Peche

Out of 12 schools in the East Lakeland Conference, the

Cornell-Lake Holcombe Knights Cross Country team has

been given the 2015 Sportsmanship Award.

“This award shows that athletes and coaches in other cross

country programs think highly of the way that our program

operates,” said head coach Jake Ebner. “Receiving this award

is a compliment to our athletes, coaches and fans.”

According to the WIAA, sportsmanship means playing by

the established rules, competing with the best efforts, losing

without excuse or complaint, cheering in a positive manner

and respecting the event. All teams and their coaches in the

conference voted on one school to be selected for this award.

This is the first time the Knights cross country team has

received this award. (Track and field was honored with it in

2012.) Ebner says he thinks this year’s team earned it after

the athletes worked hard, supported each other and conducted

themselves in a professional manner at meets.

“I was super proud of the team when I heard,” said senior

Sam Peterson. “I’ve always thought it’s important that we

not only compete well, but carry ourselves well, and I’m glad

that the other teams took note of it.”

Senior Kayla Vavra also says she is proud of her team for

earning the award.

“I feel like it is a great accomplishment,” she said.

Lake Holcombe superintendent Jeff Mastin said this award

is a great addition to the Coach of the Year award Ebner re-

ceived for track.

“I would like to congratulate the Cornell-Lake Holcombe

cross country team and coaches,” said Mastin.

Non-conference battle

down to the buzzer

By Kayla Peche

With seven minutes left in the first half, the score was tied

20-20. But the Cadott boys pulled away to lead 46-32 at the

half against the Augusta Beavers basketball team Dec. 22.

The Hornets took over Augusta with the lead when soph-

omore Matt Drilling subbed in and knocked a few points

from the inside. His classmate, Nicky Nesvacil, came in and

hit two threes to jump Cadott ahead by 10.

“At the start of the second half, they (Augusta) changed

their game plan to stop us,” said junior Bryce Boyea.

Just as the first half went, the Beavers kept the game close,

going back and forth in the second half until Augusta took

the lead and won by four points, 63-59.

“They took us out of our game,” said Boyea. “And they

gained the momentum. We thought that we had already won.”

Cadott will return to play Jan. 5, with a Cloverbelt Confer-

ence contest against McDonell Central.

basket. In the non-conference match, Cadott lost to

The Cornell Chiefs Boys Basketball team traveled to

Gilmanton Dec. 22 for a non-conference match-up. Head

coach Shawn Schoelzel says the Chiefs started out slow with

their shots flat, falling to the Panthers quickly by 20 points.

The gap was cut down to 10 points, with big performances

by Cornell sophomore Noah Nohr, and juniors Colton Hetke

and Mitch Swanson. But Gilmanton responded with two

three-point shots before the buzzer rang to lead by 16.

Schoelzel says after such a fall, Cornell just couldn’t catch

up to the Panthers, who dominated the boards.

“Gilmanton is a team that you just don’t want to try and

come back against,” he said. “They are too good.”

Despite Cornell having three players in double digits, in-

cluding Nohr with 18, Hetke with 17 and Swanson with 11,

the Chiefs lost to Gilmanton, 82-61.

Schoelzel says sophomore Dakota Popp wasn’t a top

scorer, but he was an asset to the team this game.

“I was very pleased with the way Dakota Popp played last

night,” Schoelzel said. “The things he does don’t show up on

the stat line, but he does the little things like diving on the

floor, helping defense. And even though he’s the smallest guy

on the court, he seems to be around every rebound.”

Rebounds was what Schoelzel said the team struggled

with, giving up more than 20 offensively. “All those second-

chance points for them just makes it too hard to come back

from.”

Cornell will be back on the court Jan. 7 against Bruce.

Legislation changes trail pass laws

The WisDNR reminds all snowmobilers of law changes re-

garding trail passes this year – including one which requires

snowmobilers with valid Wisconsin public use registration to

buy an annual Wisconsin snowmobile trail pass.

Trail passes are $30 for the annual pass, or $10 if you are a

member of a snowmobile club affiliated with the Association

of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs.

DNR conservation warden Gary Eddy said dollars gener-

ated from the snowmobile trail passes will be placed in a seg-

regated fund to pay for the development and maintenance of

snowmobile trails.

“This is a direct benefit to Wisconsin snowmobiling,” he

said.

In other law changes, Eddy says a bill signed by the gover-

nor makes slight adjustments to Wisconsin trail pass require-

ments and commercial snowmobile registrations.

Changes went into effect in November and include:

• Customers ordering ATV, UTV or snowmobile trail passes

online will be issued a temporary trail pass receipt which will

allow them to operate on public trails until their pass is mailed

to them. Customers ordering the Wisconsin snowmobile trail

pass at select license agents will receive a temporary operating

receipt. The receipt must be displayed to law enforcement

upon request. The temporary trail pass receipt is good for 10

days.

• Temporary trail pass receipts will not be issued for dis-

counted snowmobile club member trail passes or non-resident

annual trail passes. Non-resident snowmobile trail passes are

available at select license agents.

• Antique snowmobiles displaying valid Wisconsin antique

registration decals are exempt from the trail pass requirement.

To be registered as an antique the snowmobile must be 35

years or older.

• Non-resident snowmobile owners may now register their

snowmobile as an antique in Wisconsin.

• Commercial snowmobile certificate holders, typically

dealers and rentals, may mount their trail pass and their metal

plate to a removable plate. The plate can be temporarily but

firmly mounted. There are no size restrictions and the plate

can be homemade.

Hornets look for wins

By Kayla Peche

The Cadott girls basketball team traveled to Thorp, a Western

Cloverbelt Conference rival, Dec. 22, but were defeated by their own

mistakes, said Cadott senior Charlene Holte.

“We have a lot of talents this year and our speed definitely helps,”

said Holte. “But our lack of communication and rebounding is our

struggle right now.”

At halftime, the Hornets were down by 10 points, but managed to

cut the lead by seven with baskets from senior Elizabeth Kyes, who

had 16 points, and Holte, who had nine.

Thorp advanced their lead in the second half, winning 55-31.

Cadott has yet to win a conference game, but Holte says if they

can work on those errors, she is “hoping for some wins.”

The Hornets will be put to the challenge at home Jan. 7, against

conference rival Stanley-Boyd.

Stepping up for a victory

By Kayla Peche

Elizabeth Sproul, Cornell senior who is out for an injury,

sat on the sidelines during a Dec. 22 game vs. Gilmanton,

where she said the Chiefs girls basketball team played a great

game.

“Gilmanton played with us the whole time and made us

work for the win,” said Sproul. “It was a great victory and

also a very entertaining game to watch. I am so proud of my

team.”

During the non-conference game, the score went back and

forth before Cornell took the lead in the second half, winning

by 11 points.

Senior Lexi Moussette led the Chiefs with 16 points, fol-

lowed by sophomores Danielle Fasbender with 14 and

Cheyan Shackleton with eight.

Sproul says she saw Shackleton really step it up during the

“intense” contest.

“Cheyan Shackleton had an amazing game,” Sproul said.

“She had a goal of scoring six points and ended up scoring

eight. It was very fun to watch her excitement.”

Following the holiday break, Cornell will return Jan. 7 to

host Bruce for an East Lakeland Conference battle.

The Lake Holcombe Boys Middle School Basketball team, consisting of sixth,

seventh and eighth graders, ended their season Dec. 17. The sixth and seventh

graders went undefeated on the season, and the eighth grade only lost to

Birchwood in their final game by one basket with 8 seconds remaining. Making

up this year’s team, left to right, in front, are Josh Willmarth, Brock Flater,

A Snapshow – Day 2

Turns out the snap,

crackle, pop was merely an-

other small buck. Small being an understatement.

Something caught my attention out of the corner of my

eye and I whipped my head around.

Sure enough, it was the little piece of carpet on the edge

of my stand catching the wind…again. Ten minutes later,

it was still the carpet and not a deer that grasped my at-

tention.

I sat with my nose in my neck warmer, the candy wrap-

pers breaking the peaceful silence every few minutes. A

bluejay here, a red squirrel there, a deer nowhere.

The weather wasn’t getting warmer, my water was

freezing inside the bottle, and 10 a.m. was nearing like a

slug on a piece of duct tape.

Since it was well after daylight when I arrived, I de-

cided driving my car across the field was a better idea

than walking; especially since I brought my remote start

with me.

A brown flicker caught my eye and I turned just in time

to see a leaf nestle back against the branch it was con-

nected to.

I pulled out my remote start and clicked the button.

Nothing. I clicked it again. Still nothing. Ah man, it’s toofar away.

At 10 a.m. I determined I had sat long enough. I wanted

to see my husband’s monster buck and my nose was cold.

Mr. Big Buck from the day before must have grown

wiser, or already been in someone else’s freezer, because

I didn’t see him the rest of the season.

That night, I decided sitting in a completely different

location was wise. I would try my luck with the stand

where I had shot my first deer – a doe – several years

prior. The stand where I had shot an eight-point buck a

few years ago. The stand where my husband shot one of

his bucks.

Yes, this stand would be the stand of all stands. And I

would be there that night.

Saturday, Dec. 12 • High 44, Low 35

Usually the kids have snowball fights at camp. This year,

there are periods of rain, it is just cool enough for a deer to be

hanging, and very few hunters are getting cold on the hunt.

Today, Tom St. Claire mentored Connor Larson, a buddy of

Duncan’s, and all three are from the Meadow Valley Chapter

of KAMO (New Lisbon/Necedah). Like James, Connor made

an excellent shot and we had our second deer, another doe.

Duncan and I relocated on the Vangen farm to a large winter

wheat field. We had two does come out of the woods no more

than 8 yards from our blind on the last minute of legal hunting.

A tree in the way saved one of their lives.

Tonight was a really cool night in camp.

Every year on Saturday it seems like the kids have too much

free time. Greg Wagner, of the Baraboo River Chapter, hosted

an evening of BINGO just for the kids, with the winners of

each game getting an excellent prize, such as a fishing rod and

a knife set. In the final game of the night, Haaken Rosholt, Wis-

consin Dells, won a .243 donated by very generous people

from the Poynette area.

The following morning, Duncan and I were in our blind and

two does came out. Duncan made an excellent shot at 104

yards.

Duncan learned how to do the new online registration as

well as dress his first deer. And that, my friends, is why we

started KAMO.

I challenge anyone reading this to help start a new chapter,

join an existing chapter, or get a kid you know into KAMO.

Check us out at www.kamokids.org.

KAMO is way more than hunting and fishing.

This is going to be one of those stories that has way more to

tell than I have space for. The Joe is a deer hunt and camp run

by Kids And Mentors Outdoors (KAMO) each year. It is held

at the Mackenzie Environmental Education Center near

Poynette.

I am the president of KAMO, but of the many dozens of vol-

unteers on this project, I am but a grain of sand on a beach.

Friday, Dec. 11 • High 46, Low 33

Here is how this project works.

Five of KAMO’s chapters are sending mentors, kids and vol-

unteers for other work. There are 22 pairs of kids and mentors,

of which 19 are on Learn to Hunts. Three have purchased tags

in past years so therefore can only shoot a doe.

We hunt the state game/pheasant farm at Poynette and sev-

eral private properties. (Thank you once again to all private

property owners/donors.)

At first, the kids who come from all over Wisconsin do not

know each other. By noon of day two, they are a pack. When

they are not hunting, they are playing outside or eating the in-

credible food cooked and served by Jeff and Patti Rouse, and

Marlene Shaw.

Marlene is Patti’s mom. I have known Marlene most of my

life. This fall, Marlene made a stocking hat for each kid in the

hunt. This experience is all about giving of one’s time and

knowledge, and as everyone is well aware who takes part in

The Joe – we are very good at it.

I am hunting with 15-year-old Duncan Day, New Lisbon,

who has hunted deer other years but has never harvested a deer.

In other words, Duncan cannot shoot a buck.

We are hunting on a beautiful piece of property owned by

Eugene Vangen, located in Columbia County near Otsego. Eu-

gene raises beef and has known many of my family members

over the years, so we have a lot to talk about.

This afternoon, Duncan and I did not see a deer but had high

hopes for the morning hunt.

Jerry Absher, of the Lake Wisconsin Chapter of KAMO

(Poynette area), was mentoring James Amacher. James made

a clean shot on a young doe and thus, we had our first deer on

the pole.

Tonight, the kids went through a couple classes on safety

and biology that were given by Columbia County conservation

Five select kindergarten students from Cornell got to hold a letter for their

song S-A-N-T-A, sung to the tune of B-I-N-G-O. As each verse continued, one

letter was replaced with a “shh.” The class also sang Santa’s Helpers for

friends and family at the Cornell Elementary Christmas Program Dec. 18. The

night ended with an all-class reprise of Christmas Makes Me Sing.

Santa, also known as Cornell fourth grader Carter

Harycki, looked over letters written to him during

his class’ rendition of When Santa Claus Gets YourLetter. The class then led the crowd in laughter as

they held up cartoonish-sized smiling lips and teeth

for Christmas Makes Me Sing.

During the first-grade

class song Jingle Bells,

Anelise Larson, “laughs

all the way” o’er the

fields they go. The

group finished their set

with Hello Reindeer for

It’s not a bar. It’s not a restaurant. It’s a brew pub

By Kayla Peche

For about eight years, Jon Henry’s was a closed-down

building on Bridge Street in Cornell, that is until Roger and

Cindy Miller decided to start a brewery.

“The building just came up and it was just meant to be,”

said Cindy. “It just happened at the right time.”

Roger says their family had to put a lot of “tender love and

care” into the building, but it “wasn’t as bad as people

thought.” The Miller’s re-wired the 30-year-old place and

added a new furnace, took part of the kitchen out to add a

bar, re-did the bathrooms and walls, and added their own

character with decorations, naming it MoonRidge Brew Pub.

“We figured since we had time this summer we’d put our

touch on it,” said Cindy, adding that Roger built the bar him-

self and their daughter painted the logo on the wall.

“Honestly, we never thought it was going to be like it is,”

Roger said. “We thought, sell a little beer and a few pizzas.”

The couple had a soft opening Nov. 19, after Cindy said

they waited for months to open the doors. On that day, they

sold 37 pizzas and “plenty of beer.” They said it was way

busier than they expected, especially with no advertising.

“It’s a good thing I have a big family,” said Cindy. “Be-

cause I have a lot of family here helping until I can figure out

what is going to be a normal shift.”

For the winter season, the brew pub is open Thursday-Fri-

day from 4:30-10 p.m., and Saturdays 11 a.m.-10 p.m. In the

summer, hours will be extended to Sunday-Saturday from

11 a.m.-10 p.m.

Cindy says they also plan to have seasonal beer on tap

every three months or so, and specialty monthly pizzas. Next

summer, she said they also might do a pizza recipe contest

for guests to submit their recipes, with the customers’ favorite

winning a prize.

Because of early closing hours, limited kitchen space and

staff numbers, the Millers thank customers for their patience

so far, and remind them that it isn’t a bar and it’s not a restau-

rant – it’s a brew pub.

“We wanted something for our age to go to,” said Cindy.

“We just want a place to come and sit – a socializing place.

But yet, we want it to be open to families with kids too.”

Roger began brewing from beer kits, advancing to a kettle

on his stove, but a vacation to Maui helped him realize he

could start selling his own on a bigger scale. He said he brews

two-three times a week at the pub, and guarantees customers

will get a fresh beer every time.

“I figured I should be able to keep 1,400 people happy in

Cornell,” Roger said.

Brewing beer that he would drink, Roger developed seven

brews including Haymeadow, Fisher, Stacker, Wayside,

Shaw’s Road, Below the Dam and MoonRidge.

“The names are local spots,” said Roger. “I grew up here

my whole life and I’m not going to lie, it’s spots where when

I was a kid that’s where we drank. If you’re from the local

Cornell-Holcombe area, you know exactly what I’m talking

about.”

One of the only exceptions to the “party location” beers is

the Stacker, which is second in line to the local favorite,

MoonRidge.

“We wanted to have something called the Stacker to honor

Cornell,” said Cindy.

Along with the brews, the pub also offers pizza, including

unique flavors for those who want to be a “bit more adven-

turous.”

The homemade pie can be made with regular or spent grain

crust, which Cindy says will taste different every time de-

pending on what Roger brews. They also have a beer mari-

nara sauce for “something fun.”

The six pizzas include a Brew House Specialty pizza,

which is regular meat and supreme. Cindy says other “deli-

cious recipes” are the Reuben, Hot Chicken Alfredo and

Cheeseburger pizza.

Roger and Cindy say when you walk in the door, someone

should greet you, then you can go to the pizza ordering sta-

tion or bar for what you need. Once there is a regular staff,

they will have waiters/waitresses to help customers. Cindy

said the community has been great so far and she’s happy to

be in a place like Cornell.

“Customers should feel welcome, feel almost at home,”

said Roger. “People can expect a good beer at a good price,

and expect very good pizza at a good price. Overall, you just

feel good about coming.

“We want you to feel like you want to come back.”

Roger and Cindy Miller purchased the former Jon

Henry’s building at 501 Bridge Street in Cornell, and

opened MoonRidge Brew Pub. The couple has

seven craft brews on site, along with six homemade

specialty pizzas available. The Millers say the com-

munity has been “just great” since opening. “I have

heard a lot of positives,” said Roger.
