Cadott Village Board

Rezone approved for future salon and spaBy Kayla Peche

After a large group discussion with neighboring public, the

Cadott Village Board approved rezoning the property at 531

N. Main Street from residential to commercial. However, the

approval came with stipulations decided at the May 4 regular

Cadott Village Board meeting.

This is a difficult decision to make, said Gerald Rykal,

board member, because no matter which way we go, some

people are going to be upset and some people are going to

be happy.

In November, Melinda Murkley and Liz Pitsch brought

forth the idea of building a full spa and salon with above

apartments and a community room at the property. Then, in

January, the board held a public hearing where residents

spoke about having a problem with the business coming to

that location.

I bought my home in a residential area thinking that it

would continue to be a residential neighborhood, said Je-

remy Nawrocki, Cadott resident, at the Jan. 5 public hearing.

Hometown hero boards unforgettable flightBy Kayla PecheAs a crowd of over 1,000 came to cheer on the 80 veterans

coming home from a trip of a lifetime, one hometown hero

could only describe the day with one word: awesome.

I never expected that, said Eino Martino, World War II

veteran and Cornell native, of the crowd of people at Central

Wisconsin Airport. My right hand got so sore from shaking

hands with these people that I had to start shaking with my

left hand.

Eino graduated from Cornell High School and was drafted

for World War II in 1944. After boot camp in Great Lakes,

Ill., he was assigned to the amphibious Navy where he com-

pleted more training in Fort Pierce, Fla., and Norfolk, Va.

Once training was complete, he traveled to Pearl Harbor

in the South Pacific to work as escort and patrol at Manila

Bay. This was a few years after the Pearl Harbor bombing in

1941, but Eino said he still saw ships sunk in the water, andneeded to watch for Japanese soldiers ready to bomb U.S.

ships.

I counted about 20 ships, but I think there were more, he

said. They (Japanese) were belly up; most of them had a det-

onator bomb underneath. Then, they would float to try to hit

the side of the ship to blow it up.

Eino also went to places like Shanghai and Hong Kong

during his two years in the war, and spent his last six months

on a landing ship tank.

I was over there when the atomic bomb dropped, Eino

said. Now that was something. Everyone was jumping up

and down, and hollering when it hit; glad to know that the

war was going to be ending pretty soon.

Now, almost 70 years later, Eino was given the opportunity

to revisit his past on the Never Forgotten Honor Flight thanks

to his daughter, Lori Kindschy, who signed him up and ac-

companied him on the trip.

It was unbelievable, said Lori. Getting to share this day

with my dad was a memory I will carry for a lifetime. Lis-

tening to his stories, some I hadnt heard yet, humbled me

beyond belief.

and Vietnam left Mosinee airport Monday, April 27, around

Public school districts throughout the

state, which include, Cadott, Cornell and

Lake Holcombe, will share $35.5 million in

library aid from the Common School Fund,

the only state funding specifically desig-

nated for the purchase of materials for

school libraries.

Aid is based on the number of children

between the ages of 4 and 20 living in each

school district, and this years school li-

brary aid payment will be $29.06 per child.

Funding is up $5.3 million from last year,

and the school census is up by 11,244 chil-

dren. The per child payment will increase

about $4.11 per child from the 2013-14

school year.

As part of the funding, the CadottSchools will receive $32,807 to purchase

materials for the elementary and high

school libraries.

A lot will be spent on digital data bases

for students to reference, Chromebooks,

and books for the libraries, said Nick

Kotek, Cadott media specialist.

The Common Fund also provides the

Cornell School District with $16,389 in li-

brary aid.

The money will be used for Chrome-

book, computer software for the libra ry,

and books for the elementary and high

school libraries, said Kathy Plahuta, Cor-

nell media specialist. Books are the largest

share, but 25 percent of the money has to

be spent on media outside of books.

Lake Holcombe Schools $12,379 in aid

will be used to add laptops and Chrome-

books to the libraries.

Used to be, you could only get books

and maybe some DVDs, said Jeanne Ton-

nancour, Lake Holcombe bookkeeper. But

the last four years, its opened up to tech-nology. Last year we purchased 24

Chromebooks; the stipulation is they must

be housed in the libra ry.

Districts must use Common School Fund

library aid by June 30 for the purchase of

print, digi tal and technology resources that

Life tends to have a way of piling up on

itself. One project gets interrupted by an-

other, followed by some unexpected event

and a few wrenches tossed in for good

measure. As much as a person plans,

things never seem to turn out as predicted.

This past weekend, I chose to attend an outdoor music fes-

tival. It was something I looked forward to since tickets went

on sale sometime around December. I had recently learned

of my pregnancy, but my favorite band was playing so I had

to go, and it was almost three months before my due date.

No worries, right?

As the months crept along to both anticipated adventures,

I checked the bands website, keeping tabs if any new per-

formance dates were set up in my area.

In April, a show in Milwaukee popped up and tickets were

a steal. I quickly looked at my calendar and determined I had

nothing going on that day the only issue, the musical festi-

val was the following day.

The debate was on and I weighed the pros against the cons:

See my favorite band Maybe be tired the

next day

See my favorite band Sleep through other

great bands

See my favorite band Drive 8 hours when I

could drive 3 hours

See my favorite band Watch the same show

twice in a row

Watch the same show twice in a row

My logic may not have been quite where it should have

been, so I asked a friend i f she wanted to go with me. She

also was attending the festival the following day, but was

game for hiking it to Milwaukee the night before.

Eventually, I chose not to attend the concert Friday night,

and only go to the festival Saturday, which I already had the

tickets for. Being pregnant really drains a girl, and I opted to

do the grown up thing, and only attend one; as grown up

as going to a rock concert six months pregnant is.

The weeks leading up to the day of fun began to overflow

with work, news stories, baby to-dos and everything else

under the sun. Wrenches from left to right were getting

thrown into my schedule, and although it never really crossed

my mind to skip the concert, it had flittered across once or

twice.

In reality, there was no way I was going to miss my favorite

band, and no matter how many lemons life handed me, I was

By Kayla Peche

Get your motor runnin/Head out on

the highway/Lookin for adventure and

whatever comes our way

Even if youre born to be wild, you still

must be safe on the road with your hog,

and those who ride in a car or truck must

remember to look twice for bikes this

time of year.

According to the WisDOT, more than half a million Wis-consin residents have a motorcycle license or permit. They

also reported last year, there were 73 motorcycle riders and

passengers who died in Wisconsin traffic crashes. In order

to reduce the number of bike crashes, May is known as Na-

tional Motorcycle Safety Awareness month.

Driving down the freeway, there will be constant re-

minders to look twice and save a life.

But do people actually do that? Busy roads contain a lot

of traffic rushing to get going, changing lanes and flying

by; sometimes forgetting to check their blind spots.

Despite the loud rumble of some bikes, a motorcycle

might be more than just a blind spot; bikes are a blind ob-

ject.

Drivers can easily misjudge the speed and distance of

an approaching motorcycle because of its smaller dimen-

sions, said Greg Patzer, manager of the Wisconsin Motor-

cycle Safety Program. To prevent crashes, drivers should

check the position of a motorcycle at least two or three

times before they proceed through an intersection or make

a turn.

With the warmer weather, it is time for large-vehicle driv-

ers to share the road with bikers because, if the two cant

learn to share, it will be unsafe.

When it comes to the safety of a person on a bike com-

pared to a person protected by the armor of a vehicle, the

danger level increases. Cars and trucks are equipped with

not only an outer shell but safety features, including

airbags and seat belts.

On the contrary, for a motorcycle, its more like ride at

your own risk. People can purchase leather wear outfits,

helmets, eye wear and gloves, but thats the only thing be-

tween the person and the pavement.

And sometimes, those precautions are not even taken. In

Wisconsin, motorcyclists over 18 are not required to wear

a helmet. So, without the protection, even a minor crash

could be fatal.

going to that concert.

Saturday rolled around and my three companions arrived

on time. I, of course, was not ready, so after half an hour of

primping and curling my newly dyed hair (which I had to get

dyed twice because it washed out the first time; another

wrench), we were on our way.

The trip went smoothly and we turned off the highway only

to be greeted by a ridiculous line of cars; much more of this

and we would miss the first band. So I pulled up my phone

and rerouted our travel plans, taking a residential street and

cutting off a good chunk of stop and go traffic.

Within 10 minutes we were at the grounds and had a

(nearly) front row parking space.Perfect.

It was a warm day, so I left my sweatshirt in the truck and

braved the elements. The sun beat down on my bare shoul-

ders, and within an hour they felt like I had stuck them in an

oven. In search of shade we came across a first-aid stand with

sunscreen and I caked some on the sore spots.

A few more wrenches, a $10 hamburger, $7 hotdog and

$55 sweatshirt at dark for my freezing arms later, and it was

time to go home.

Ill leave out the hairy details, but lets just say getting out

of the parking lot was a little morewrenchingthan it

needed to be I knew my car could take the little car with

the impatient driver behind me, but I really didnt want to

test whose bumper would hold up better.

The following day was Mothers Day, which meant visit-

ing two families; something I was excited to do, but a little

worn out for, especially since we had the races to go to that

When life hands you lemons, look for flowers

Lookin for safer roadways for everyoneSome fatal crashes happen because cyclists dont have

proper training before heading out .

Nearly 42 percent of motorcyclist fatalities in 2013 in-

volved riders who had not completed the safety training or

skills test required to obtain a license, reported the Wis-

DOT.

Just in the area, future bikers can travel to Chippewa Val-

ley Technical College in Eau Claire, Wisconsin Indianhead

Technical College in Rice Lake or North Central Technical

College in Wausau to receive the proper training and teststo successfully complete a rider education course.

Take the written test and the road test, and youre on your

way to racin with the wind. Even in Wisconsin, after pass-

ing the knowledge test, a sign test and a vision screening,

a person can drive with only a few restrictions. These re-

strictions include wearing a helmet and having an experi-

enced driver ride with a permit holder at night.

That doesnt mean those who have a permit dont know

how to drive, but people are more nervous when theyre in-

experienced.

Inexperience can also be fatal when it comes to control,

and speed and alcohol were considered primary factors

in 56 percent of the deaths in motorcycle crashes in 2012,

according to WisDOT.

Wisconsin is known to have the highest rate of drunk

driving in the nation, and according to Daniel Lonsdorf,

WisDOT director, there were more than 44,000 convictionsfor drunken driving last year.

Whether you are driving a vehicle or driving a motorcy-

cle, there shouldnt be excessive alcohol in your system.

At a blood alcohol level (BAC) 0.02-0.03, a person loses

coordination skills with possible lightheadedness, reported

by the Be Responsible About Drinking program. Therefore,

just after one drink , coordination to steer a bike could be

impaired.

Why take a chance with more than one drink, especially

with little to no protection in an accident?

The program goes on to say that at 0.04-0.06 (still legal

in Wisconsin), your inhibitions are lowered, lowering your

sense of caution. With that, the possibility of speeding in-

creases.

Motorcycle Safety Awareness month is to be cautious, so

adding alcohol or high speed will not promote the cause.

This month, and all summer really, when youre out look-ing for adventure, make sure to look out for motorcycles

too.

evening.

Around 10 a.m. I looked at my phone and saw a text from

one of the track workers. Because of track conditions and the

impending rain, the races had been cancelled. One less task

on my plate.

My husband and I headed to a wonderful lunch with my

mom, followed by a relaxing evening at my in-laws. But the

pile of work at home and on my desk, and everything thatneeds to get done in the next 86 days until this kid arrives,

loomed in the back of my mind.

The truck pulled in the driveway and I just sat there, trying

to breathe and take in life before I went to editing on the

couch. After a short conversation about how hectic our lives

were, my husband suggested we go camping this weekend

and just relax. Without warning, the waterworks began and

several tears fell down my cheeks.

I knew I had to work and i t wouldnt be possible to go, but

the idea he had even suggested it pulled at my heartstrings. I

went inside while he fed the hounds, and thought about how

everything in life had piled up without warning.

In three months Id have a newborn, and then there would

be no time. The stress continued to pile; and then my husband

walked in the door, holding a bouquet of white lilacs.

Happy Mothers Day, he said, from the baby and all

your four-legged kids.Life gives us lemons sometimes, we just have to keep in

mind the flowers were given. The pile of lemons might still

be there, but in its midst, some beautiful flowers might just

make the lemons a little easier to stomach.

Check the date of your dot to donateDonate Life Wisconsin, a non-profit collaborative of health-

care organizations and professionals, announced that this

years National Donate Life Month marks the fifth anniversary

of the Wisconsin Donor Registry.

Since the registry was launched in 2010, nearly 4,000 lives

in Wisconsin have been saved through organ donation, and

thousands more have received eye and tissue donations. Todate, more than 2.6 million eligible Wisconsin residents have

legally registered their decision to be a donor upon their pass-

ing.

Thats more than half of the eligible donors in our state,

said Joanne Grunau, president of Donate Life Wisconsin. The

online registry has made it easy to make the decision to donate

official.

But there are still nearly two million eligible Wisconsin res-

idents including many with orange dots on their drivers li-

censes or state IDs who are not yet legally registered donors.

Were urging all residents to check the date of your dot.

With state residents only renewing their licenses once every

eight years, many drivers may have orange dots, but are not

yet officially noted as donors on the registry. Drivers with a li-

cense, or residents with a state ID, dated before March 29,

2010, (even those with an orange donor dot) need to legally

register online as an organ, tissue and eye donor at YesIWill-Wisconsin.com.

For those who dont yet have an orange dot and are not yet

registered donors, there is no need to wait until your license is

up for renewal, Grunau says. You can register right now on-

line as an organ, tissue and eye donor.

Make your decision known and legal. Its the critical dif-

ference between saying I want and I will.

Documenting donation decisions on the Wisconsin DonorRegistry provides healthcare professionals with immediate ac-

cess 24/7 to confirm a donors decision, and then to share that

information with loved ones as they work together to honor

the donors choice.

Any one of us someday could need a transplant, said

Martha Mallon, Organ and Tissue Donation program director.

People with high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, burns and

other common illnesses and injuries are on wait lists for trans-

plants that can save or improve their lives.

About 2,350 Wisconsin residents are awaiting transplants,

and every 10 minutes another person is added to the national

transplant wait list. An individual donor can save or improve

up to 50 of those lives.

To register as an organ, tissue and eye donor, individuals

must be 15 and a half or older, and have a drivers license or

state ID. Everyone who authorized donation at the DMV after

March 29, 2010, is legallyregistered.

Tobacco checks expand toe-cigarettes in minor sales

Local tobacco retailer checks that make sure stores dont

sell tobacco products to minors are expanding to include e-

cigarettes, according to the Chippewa County Department of

Public Health.

The change is being made through the statewide Wisconsin

Wins program to address the rising popularity of e-cigarettes

with teens, which typically come in candy and fruit flavors,

and are often perceived as less harmful than cigarettes.

A 2014 Wisconsin Youth Tobacco Survey shows 7.9 per-

cent of that states high school students use e-cigarettes, and

nationally, in 2013, 4.5 percent of high school students re-ported using e-cigarettes.

The Wisconsin Wins program not only works to keep to-

bacco out of minors hands, said Jennifer Lenbom, R.N., WI

WinscCoordinator, but also congratulates retailers that make

the decision to not sell. Regular compliance checks are im-

portant to make sure our youth are not easily accessing a

product that can addict them and cause negative health ef-

fects.

Research shows that in Wisconsin, 6.4 percent of retailers

sell tobacco products to minors, with 1.6 percent in Chippewa

County in 2014.

To keep that number low, participating youth perform reg-

ular checks through Wisconsin Wins to make sure tobacco

retailers arent selling tobacco products to minors. Retailers

that pass their checks are thanked by Chippewa County De-

partment of Public Health representatives and participating

Motorcyclists required to

have license endorsementFrom the WisDOT

More than a half million Wisconsin residents have a mo-

torcycle license or permit, and many of them have already

started this years riding season.

As motorcycles continue to grow in popularity among men

and women of all ages, safety is a constant concern. Last year,

73 motorcycle riders and passengers died in Wisconsin traffic

crashes.May is National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month,

which is an opportunity to remind drivers to share the road

and watch for motorcycles, especially at intersections and

while making turns and lane changes, says Greg Patzer,

manager of the Wisconsin Motorcycle Safety Program

(WMSP). Drivers can easily misjudge the speed and dis-

tance of an approaching motorcycle because of its smaller di-

mensions.

To protect themselves and others on the road, motorcyclists

are legally required to have a motorcycle endorsement on

their driver license.

Too many people have been riding for years without a

valid motorcycle endorsement on their driver license, Patzer

says. Its a serious problem especially for those who have

not ridden a motorcycle for several years and are beginning

to ride again.

Motorcyclistsshould always wear protective and con-spicuous clothing and gear, including a helmet that meets or

exceeds U.S. DOT standards.

Stanley native Marissa

Mahr captures her fourth

The first school in Cornell opened Dec. 2, 1907, with 13 children. Josephine Fleury,

Boyd, taught there first, but was married before the school year was over, so Anna Butler

taught the remainder of the year.

A new school was built in 1908-09, and Mrs. August Stall was the new teacher. En-

rollment varied between two and 28 students.

As Cornells population increased, the school became too small to accommodate the

children, so they were schooled in other places, such as the union hall (Thomas Hall),

the Variety Store, the Sheeltz House, above the furniture store, and the Village Hall.

In 1912-13, the new white school was built, and the three-story high school was

erected in 1914. Another addition was added in 1920-21.

The first graduating class consisted of two students Bernard Forcier and Bertha

Miller. Loren Van Gorden was the first principal, and basketball was first introduced in

1916.

RCMH rooms rated in top 1 percentRusk County Memorial Hospital (RCMH) patient rooms were rated among the top 52

cleanest hospital patient rooms in the country. With more than 5,600 hospitals in the United

States, according to the American Hospital Association, this places the hospital in the top 1

percent in the country for patient room cleanliness.

My staff and I have established very high standards for cleaning because hospital clean-

liness is a fundamental aspect of infection prevention and patient well-being in health care

settings, said Margaret Bennett, environmental services manager.

Beckers Hospital Review, which reports on hospital and health care issues, compiled and

published the ratings on their website in April. Beckers formulated these results from patient

input gathered through Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems

(HCAHPS) surveys.

According to 2013 HCAHPS survey data, the most recent

year available, 89 percent of Rusk County Memorial Hospitalpatients reported their room and bathroom as always clean.

The hospitals rating was 15 percent higher than the national

average for patients reporting their hospital room and bath-

room as always clean.

Our building may be old, but this superior rating illus-

trates our commitment to maintaining a clean, safe and pleas-

ant environment for our patients, said Charisse Oland,

RCMH CEO. It is an honor to be recognized as one of 52

hospitals in the country and one of only seven hospitals in

Wisconsin for not only meeting that standard, but exceeding

it.

Brynley Renae Hoff

Kevin and Rayan Hoff, Cadott, announce the birth of a

daughter, Brynley Renae.

Baby Brynley was born Wednesday, April 29, 2015, at St.

Josephs Hospital in Chippewa Falls.

Hauger added to Whitetail Properties agent networkWhitetail Properties, a recreational real estate company,

has named Neil A. Hauger as its new agent and land specialist

for the Chippewa, Eau Claire, Rusk, Taylor and Trempeleau

Counties.

The expansion of our Agent and Land Specialist network

further strengthens our ability to meet the needs of our

clients, said Dan Perez, CEO of Whitetail Properties. Neils

comprehensive understanding of recreational real estate sales

and marketing will greatly benefit all clients and future

clients in the west central Wisconsin market.

Prior to Whitetail Properties, Hauger worked as a national

director of sales in the medical device

industry, where he directed a sales

force around 200 reps nationwide.

After leaving the industry in October

2013, Hauger chose to pursue a career

in real estate land sales, and began the

interview process with Whitetail

Properties Real Estate.

My wife, Denise, and I work the

business together, says Hauger.

Denise has a background in the

Project shows youth they can grow thatNews that can be heard up and down the

Stanley-Boyd School halls lately is, I can

grow that! and students say they are ex-

cited to hear about the possibility of build-

ing a greenhouse in the school courtyard.

The proposed greenhouse project was

initiated and planned by Stanley-Boyds

local FFA Alumni chapter, a community

structured organization whose primary ob-

jective is to provide educational skills,

funding and support for learning in agricul-

ture.

Planners of the greenhouse say their goalis to give children and young adults a

greater awareness of the food system, and

hands-on learning, lifelong skills and in-

vestment into the betterment of the commu-

nitys future are just some of the benefits.

The greenhouse project, which is not

funded with taxpayer dollars, has a Kick-

starter program set-up, and those interested

in supporting the efforts can do so by

searching Stanley Boyd FFA Alumni

Greenhouse online.

For those who are not able to go online,

contributions can be made by calling Tom

Kluck, Stanley-Boyd FFA Alumni treasurer

at 715-644-2708.

We will place into our childrens hands

an awareness and appreciation of how

healthy, pollutant-free produce is grown,said Sam Simmons, FFA Alumni. We will

show them how growing the food we con-

sume is no easy task, and certainly one not

to be taken for granted. Together, we will

help our children grow that.

Barbara Barb Opal Smith

Barbara Barb Opal Smith,

Cornell, passed away on her

78th birthday Saturday, May

9, 2015, at Sacred Heart Hos-

pital in Eau Claire, surrounded

by her family.

Barbara was born to Adolph

and Opal (Kennett) Anderson,

in Hammond, Ind., May 9,

1937.

Barbara married the love of

her life, Jack Smith, Jan. 3,

1955, in Crandon, and recently

celebrated their 60th anniversary.

Barb touched the lives of many people. She was famously

known as Nana by many an adult and child. She adopted one

and all into her fold.

Her sharp wit and unique sense of humor endeared her to

everyone she met. She loved people and people loved her.

She spent many fun filled hours playing cards with her

friends and following the local high school sports teams.

Some of her favorite things were horse races, basketball

and football games, boating, camping, picnicking, and long

phone calls with friends and family.

Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were her great-

est joy.

She loved bright and beautiful colors and flowers (so much

like her personality).

The family would like to extend a special thank you to all

of the staff at Sacred Heart Hospital. She marveled at the ten-

der care she received while there, and was fond of the staff

attending to her.

She is survived by Jack; their four children, John (Barb Jor-

gensen) Smith, Cornell, Larry Smith, Santa Barbara, Calif.,

Connie (Wally) Knudson, Holmen, and Ron Smith, Stevens

Point; and will be greatly missed by grandchildren, Brian

Madlon (Judy Lund), Sheldon, Ryan Emerson, Eau Claire,

Charesse (Chris) Popp, Holmen, Trisha Clark, Holmen,

Kayla (Nick) Phillipi, Clintonville, Lindsey (David)

Milewski, Las Vegas, Nev., Casey Smith, Crandon, Zack

Smith, Stevens Point; and great-grandchildren, Hannah,

Jenna, Gracey, Boston, Regan, Ashland, Brynn, Presley,

Avery and Olivia.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Adolph and

Opal; brother, Ron; and some very close friends.

A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held Thurs-

day, May 14, Borton-Leiser Funeral Home in Cornell, at

noon. Visitation will start at 10 a.m., with Joe Jiskra officiat-

ing as one of her final wishes.

The family would like to show appreciation for all the sup-

port of friends and family by inviting them to join the family

at John and Barbs after the service.

In lieu of flowers, Nana would want you to donate to your

local school sports program.

are housed with the school library program and accessible

to all students in the school.

Wisconsins teacher librarians and the resources of our

school libraries are integral in helping students develop the

college and career ready skills they will need to succeed in

the future, said state superintendent Tony Evers. Alloca-

tions from the Common School Fund are the main, and

sometimes only, funding available to purchase digital and

print resources for the school library.

Other neighbors agreed the business would add chaotic

traffic and less places for parking.

Once the board heard the arguments for and against

the rezone change, they requested a state approved plan

from Murkley and Pitsch. Murkley advised the board she

wanted the rezone approved before spending money on the

plans.

The motion was passed with five in favor (Rykal, Charles

Sedivy, Randy Kuehni, Anson Albarado and Bart Chapek),one against (Lester Liptak) and one absent (Terry Licht).

I dont want to see businesses go, added Kuehni with

his yes vote.

With the rezone approval, conditions were made that the

state approved plans be similar to ones shown, and if for

some reason the plans should fall through, the property

would return to residential.

The final approval is pending a legal look over from the

village attorney, on conditions made with the rezone.

On other agenda, the board approved participation in afacilitated competitive bid process for recycling and waste

collection services.

By participating in the

bid, Chippewa County will

check with large recycling

facilities on how much rev-

enue the village would de-

velop from joining other

area municipalities and

using one hauler.

At the April 20 regular

meeting, the board said their

current waste and recycling

service was great, but any

attempt to save on rates, or

add revenue would be bene-

ficial to the community.

Cornell Spanish students slow down for the blink of an eyeBy Monique Westaby

Seventeen Spanish students tackled the unknown and traveled across the ocean for a

10-day class trip, seeing the sights and broadening their understandings.

Students who travel the world are much more prepared to tackle the unknown andthink for themselves, said Sarah McCutcheon, Cornell Spanish teacher. We had a blast

together. The students themselves were maybe even surprised at times by how much fun

they had with classmates they normally dont hang out with.

The group from Cornell High School, along with nine chaperones, spent time in Madrid,

Toledo, Granada, Costa del Sol, Seville, Morocco and Crdoba. Tours and sight seeing

awaited at each city, showcasing the historical and famous aspects of each.

I love the simplicity and lightness of the country, said junior Whitney Wallerius of

the March/April trip. Things seemed to slow down in Spain, even though our trip began

and ended in the blink of an eye.

McCutcheon says she has traveled extensively in her life, and although a class trip as

a tourist with students was a lot of work, she said it was absolutely worth every mo-

ment. Her group even received several compliments on their attentiveness to local

guides.

In addition to taking guided tours and learning about the history of bullfights, royal

weddings and seeing expert craftsmanship in the Palacio Real palace, the visitors crossed

the Strait of Gibraltar via ferry, entered Morocco on a bus, and rode camels, walked

through a market and visited a local school.On this trip, I learned that Morocco is very oriented on craftsmanship and hard work,

said sophomore Mitchell Swanson. There was a school there where from age four to 18,

you chose a skill and would master it.

Nathan Parkhurst, sophomore, said his favorite part of the trip was bartering in Mo-

rocco, but hearing the history and seeing the architecture in Spain was a very close sec-

ond.

I learned that the Spanish people are very helpful and

caring, said Parkhurst.

Students and chaperones also saw where Christopher

Columbus said his farewell before leaving for the Ameri-

cas, and put their feet in the Mediterranean Sea.

How could it not be incredible? said McCutcheon.

They saw firsthand what other countries and cultures are

like, and it broadened their understanding of our role in the

world. In the U.S., we focus so much on how the world can

benefit ustraveling allows us to see beyond ourselves.

The trip was funded through candy bar sales, working

music festivals and concessions, as well as local business

sponsors. McCutcheon says not everyone could afford the

trip because of the high cost, but if any businesses or com-

munity members want to donate for future trips (like the

2017 trip to Europe), they may do so by contacting her at

the school.

If you have the chance to travel, take up the opportu-

nity, says Brandy Slowiak, junior. It was a chance of a

lifetime. It was absolutely breathtaking and eye-opening

to see what life is like.

First-time out-of-the-country traveler Alexis Moussette,

junior, said her experience was amazing, and she said she

strongly suggests other students work toward a similar trip.

It was scary at first, but very exciting and Im very glad I

went.

I would suggest it to people who can easily accept

change and want to learn about other cultures, said soph-

omore Hannah Hakes. Even though I got homesick, I be-

lieve it was well worth the experience and time away.

Brittney Hakes, senior, takes her turn on a camelduring the Cornell Spanish trip to Spain March 28-April 6. Brittneys sister, Hannah, also went on thetrip, and said sleeping under the stars on the patioat Paradise was her favorite part of the trip.

Parents and faculty went with 17 students from Cornell to see Spanish archi-tecture, hear about the history of the country, and experience flamenco danc-ing in Sevilla, something sophomore Mitchell Swanson said he enjoyed aboutthe excursions. Chaperones who went, left to right, in front, are Alisa Schley,Elizabeth Hillebrand, Chris Pickerign, Nancy Schlageter and Sarah Mc-Cutcheon; in back, are Rachel Sproul, Dave Elliott, Dr. Paul Schley and MarcusLeland.

On their trip to Spain, students and chaperones said they learned several things, including to not go tothe bathroom in Morocco, new words, countless facts, and differences between the U.S. and Spain. Weare very lucky here in the U.S., said junior Alexis Moussette. We take so much stuff for granted here,that they dont even have a choice to have what we get in our everyday life. Students who went to Spainare Alanna Jevne, Brandy Slowiak, Cierra Oswalt, Lexi Moussette, Lexi Short, Kiara Stipek, Jake Hille-brand, Mitchell Swanson, Whitney Wallerius, Samantha Sippy, Nathan Parkhurst, Kierra Walters, AbbiePickerign, Elizabeth Sproul, Taylor Elliott, Hannah Hakes and Brittney Hakes.

SCHOOL NEWSTursday, May 14, 2015COURIER SENINELPage 10Band and choir students have positive experience

By Monique Westaby

After fund-raising for a year and a half, Lake Holcombe

band and choir students made the 20 hour, 1,374 mile trip to

San Antonio to experience the historic city.

I think the trip was a positive experience for the students,

said Melissa Wojcik, choral/general music instructor. They

learned a lot about the history of San Antonio. Many of them

said they enjoyed the River Boat tour the best.

Three of the five days were spent in San Antonio, getting

acquainted with the city at the River Walk, the Mercado, the

Mexican Market and the River Boat tour.

My favorite part of the trip was the River Walk, said Bai-

ley Viegut, junior, because of all the new things I got to see

and experience.

The group also explored the historical aspects of the city,

and visited the Alamo and two missions. Junior Kyle Girard

said this was his favorite of the trip, although Six Flags was

also fun.

My favorite part of my trip was going to Six Flags, said

first-time traveler Aubrey Meddaugh, eighth-grade, referenc-

ing riding roller costers with friends and challenging them-

selves.

Aside from the history and Six Flags Fiesta adventure, the

48 youth and chaperones saw several musical performances

at Sea World, and went on a few rides.

It was a good experience for us as directors, said Wojcik

of her and band director Jim Aerts. The students were very

well behaved and excited to see and do everything we had

planned. It was also helpful to have wonderful chaperones

with us.

A coach bus took the youth/chaperones from Lake Hol-

combe to Texas and back March 31-April 4, and Wojcik says

she hopes to start a tradition of rotating a shorter and longer

trip every two years.

We feel that trips provide students with various perform-

ance opportunities and experiences outside of the northwest

Wisconsin area, said Wojcik. San Antonio taught kids the

value of budgeting their spending moneyThey also became

aware of their surroundings and safety in numbers.

Kayla Vavra, junior, said the trip was a lot of fun, and sug-

gests future students work toward a similar trip.

It was a very fun experience, agreed Girard. I encourage

all future classes to work toward a trip to further their learn-

ing experience.

It was very great to have an opportunity like this, added

Viegut. Thank you to all the chaperones and our bus com-

pany for making the trip that much better.

A group of Lake Holcombe students head out on a River Boat tour in San An-tonio for a band and choir trip to Texas. The 35-minute tour features daily ridesand offers a water-view of the city.

The famous River Walk in Texas showcases scenic overlooks and structurealong the San Antonio River. Bailey Viegut, junior, said this was her favoritepart of the band and choir trip.

Students and chaperones took part in rides at SeaWorld and Six Flags Fiesta while on their band andchoir trip in March/April. Students suggested futureclasses also work toward earning a trip, and saidthey enjoyed their experience.
