After water issues because of rain at the Cadott Public Library, work began
on renovations in the basement Dec. 11. The project was completed in a week,
with a trench dug, tile put down and a sump pump installed to avoid water leaking in.
Rain had caused problems on more than one occasion downstairs at the library. In September 2013, staff noticed puddles on top of the carpeting. The
village maintenance department re-tarred around the building with a slope, but
the water problems returned.
We were completely shut down downstairs during the renovation,said
Paula Stanton, (Cadott Public Library director), at the regular board meeting
Jan. 12. We had childrens books upstairs and Ihavent looked at the numbers
to see if that suffered or not, but the kids didnt seem to mind.
The Cadott Color Center installed the original carpeting after the work was
done because the library wasnt able to get a quote in time for new flooring before the renovations began.
Rolly (Tichy) and Italked, said Stanton. And we decided all the repairs
should be done before we talk about new flooring.
In her directors report, Stanton said story hour will be closed whenever
Cadott Schools are closed, to ensure the safety of children and parents.
There will also be a job fair at the library Wednesday, Jan. 21, from 10 a.m.2 p.m. with Nicolet Staffing.
Cadott School Board
Four day option proposed for early education

By Kayla Peche
At the Jan. 12 regular Cadott School Board meeting, Jenney Larson, Cadott Elementary principal, proposed changes
to the 4K program for the Cadott community.
Weve been talking about, for quite some time, the fact
that we need to take a look at what we are doing with 4K and
where we want to go, Larson said. We want to do the best
job we can do to make our students successful.
This year, Cadott Elementary School has one full-time
4K/Early Childhood Special Education teacher, one full-time
substitute and one full-time paraprofessional. The students
are broken into two sections: Monday and Thursday (full
day) and Tuesday and Friday (full day). Wednesday is early
childhood special education services and family outreach.
Cadott Elementary School also works with Building
Blocks Early Learning Center, which has Monday and Thursday full-day 4K available for families.
Larson says previously, Cadott had three 4K places open,
but this year, only the elementary school and building blocks
are available to the community.
Kris Horan (owner of Building Blocks) and Larson met
with teachers and faculty to come up with a plan to meet the
goals of the program. Both said one major goal is to recruit
and retain students in the Cadott Community School District.
We want the families to have the options here that they
have in the surrounding communities, Larson said how
do we compare to them and how do we move forward?
After some research, Horan and Larson said they found
that most, if not all, surrounding schools provide four fulltime to half-time days for 4K students.
The new proposed plan for 2015-16 is to have two full-
time 4K teachers and two full-time paraprofessionals. The

early childhood special education position would be a separate full time position.
This would all depend on the number of students who enroll for the classes, Larson said.
Later in the meeting, the board approved the separate fultime early childhood special education position for next year.
Other than the staffing changes, the elementary school
would also provide four full-day 4K classes, and Wednesdays
would continue to be family outreach.
Building Blocks would provide four half-day sections, either morning or afternoon, to give flexibility to the 4K parents.
Basically, it has the best of both worlds for us, Larson
said. And it also continues our community partnership,
which I think is growing and is doing very well.
Becky Folcyzk, Cadott resident/parent and CESA worker,
says she has a four-year-old starting 4K next year, and agrees
with the new proposed idea.
I know consistency and routine are what children need
Folcyzk said. In a two day program, Monday and Thursday,
there is no consistency. So, for actual learning to occur, I
would choose to send my child to Stanley, if theres not a
four day option.
Other parents and community members in attendance
agreed if this was unavailable inCadott, parents would travel
to other areas for their childrens early education.
Donna Albarado, board member, said her biggest concern
was the cost for staffing, transportation and other resources
this proposal would have on the community.

Does marriage always have to be followed by a baby carriage?
Page
By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
Since before I can remember, my life has been
planned out for me. Not by
choice, but rather everyone
elses expectations.
Where are you going to
college?
I dont know how many times I was asked
that question, with the expectation that I would
pursue a secondary education. Although it was
somewhat understood I would attend college,
I wasnt quite fond of everyone else assuming
they knew which way my life should go.
Following my acceptance into both universities (UW-Platteville and UW-Eau Claire) I
applied for, I met Scott. As our relationship
progressed at what some call love at first
sight speed, I chose the closer of the two
schools and officially became a Blugold.
Shortly after my high school graduation,
Scott proposed to me.
Are you pregnant?
Annoyed that so many assumed a young
couple would only get married because they
had to rather than actually loved each other,
I tried to brush off each question with a laugh
and said, Nope, just like each other a lot.
As my belly continued to not grow, the
pregnant questions turned into college assumptions.
Oh, youre majoring in English, so you must
be going for teaching.
And: English? And not teaching? Is there
anything you can even do with an English
major if youre not going into teaching?
Every time I would smile, tell them my plan
was to sit at home and do nothing, then wait
for their stunned reaction before I explained I
was joking. Aside from teaching, English is a
great base for jobs in communication, public
relations and, of course, writing and editing.
With a minor in American Indian studies,

and my work with Native artifacts and transcripts, my job base was less than limited, and
even museum work was an option I could
have pursued. Unfortunately, no one else
could see things from my perspective, and as
soon as I said no teaching I was put in the
wasted college time category.
Since I was born, Ive been stubborn. So
these remarks on my education only made me
try that much harder to prove everyone wrong.
I was married just after my freshman year
of college, and again, the when are you having a baby questions started. Sometimes I
would say once college was over, or respond
with a shrug and a not right now.
Every person I saw would ask me about
adding to the family. My stubborn nature
kicked in and pushed me away from the
thought of having a child. Scott and I had
dogs, and that was good enough for me. After
years of people questioning our choice to hold
off on a family, having a baby almost repulsed
me. And giving in to everyones assumptions
just made starting a family that much less appealing.
In 2010, I graduated from college, and peo-
family was expected of us, and I have big

problems with expectations.
First comes love, then comes marriage, then
comes the baby in the baby carriage.
We are taught this rhyme since childhood,
yet no one seems to question the timeframe of
the poem. Does it say first comes love, then
comes marriage, followed immediately by a
baby in the baby carriage? Why cant there be
husband and wife get to know each other,
spend time together, and do fun things without
children, between marriage and the carriage?
Finally, at 25 years old, and seven years of
marriage, nobody asked me what I was going
to do with my education or career. Nobody
asked us when we were going to have children. Nobody was planning my life for me, or
making assumptions on what we should do
next.
What a perfect time to make our own decisions.
Since before I can remember, my life has
been planned out for me. Now, with a baby on
the way, the rest of my life has been decided.
I will be a mother until the day I leave this
earth. And Ive never been more excited to
have my life planned out for me.
So, what exactly do you do there?

ple began asking where I would teach English.

It got to the point that it was easier to say I
hadnt found a school yet, than explain I
hadnt taken teaching credits and did not want
to be a teacher. Apparently theres some unwritten taboo to say you dont want to teach
children.
Once I was given the position at the paper,
it must have finally sunk in that, no, I was not
going to be a teacher. Every now and then I
get a straggler who says they thought that was
my plan, and I explain that it never was.
After five years of marriage, people also
began slowing down their, When are you
going to have a baby questions. Some people
got sick of asking, thought we already had
kids, or questioned if we were even able to
have kids. Either way, I was glad people had
slowed their asking.
The assumption that high school leads to
college, college leads to a specific career, marriage falls in there somewhere, followed immediately by children, pushed my buttons to
no end.
Scott and I had done everything by the
book, yet still we were almost pitied for not
having children. Getting married and having a

about, Idecided I will write about what it is

I do.
Istarted working for the paper in November 2014, after being a stay-at-home mom for
almost eight years. Itrained in the Cadott office with our now editor, Monique, for approximately two and half weeks before Itook
over and was on my own. To say Iwas nervous about running the office by myself was
an understatement.
Thankfully, she taught me well. Sure, I
made my mistakes, but that is natural when
starting a new job.
At first, Imainly stayed at the office, learning everything needed to make it run, such as
answering the phone and answering questions Iknew nothing about at first, or knowing what mail came in was for subscriptions
or payments and how to record it all.
My official job title is the Cadott office
manager, so my biggest task is keeping the
office running smoothly.
I do everything from helping customers
renew or start new subscriptions and putting
ads in, to writing stories.
When Igot more comfortable with the normal office tasks, I was sent out to do interviews, gather information for stories and take
pictures for the paper.
Ido the Sentinel Look Back and Neighboring News every week, along with bowling,
trap and pool scores, and anything else that
gets sent in. Ialso write an opinion column
once a month, and Ihave the hardest time
coming up with ideas for them. Im such a
procrastinator that Iusually wait until the day
it needs to be turned in to even start on it.
Anything newsworthy that happens in
Cadott, I generally cover, as long as my
schedule allows it. Icover anything like choir
and band concerts, business stories, school
functions and library board meetings.
Ihave to say, one of my favorite things I
do is attend school functions.
The WQOWWeather Academy came to
Cadott Elementary School, did weather experiments and had the weather forecast live
from the gym. The students were part of the
forecast, got to be on live TV, and they were

all so excited. Iwas excited for them, as I
was texting my parents and other family
members to tell them to watch the news because my kids made it on TV. That is definitely one of the coolest things Ihave been
able to report on so far.
One big perk Igot from working for the
Courier Sentinel was attending Country Fest
to take pictures for the paper. Ihave lived in
Cadott all my life and have only gone to Fest
one time. So when Iwas asked if Icould
cover one or two days, of course Isaid yes.
I have people come into, or call, my office
for things that have nothing to do with the
newspaper. Ive gotten plenty of calls asking
the number to the post office, or what time
different stores open in town, and Im glad to
help out when Ican. Ihave a couple people
who stop in every once in awhile to see if
there are any funny jokes in any of the papers, to share a neat experience they had, or
just to say, Hi.
My days mostly consist of working on the
computer and answering numerous phone
calls, emails and walk-in customers, but there
is so much more that I do than just that.
This morning, Icame into work, started
typing up bowling scores, left to take a few
pictures of the blood drive at the high school,
came back and worked on more articles that
were sent in, and am now working on this.
When Ileave work, Ihave a library board
meeting to go to, then squish supper in and
get to the elementary school for a family
math night.
Factor all that in with also being a mom to
three kids and all their outside of school activities and appointments, meals, errands and
everything else, and I am one busy person.
Although Iam busy in and outside of
work, I still enjoy covering things, and people in the community are more than welcome
to stop in (M-F 8:30-3:30), give me a call
(715-289-4978) or send me an e-mail
(cadottsentinel@centurytel.net) to let me
know what is happening so Ican try my best
to be there.

Wisconsins frozen road law has expanded to include numbered state and federal highways within the area designated
by the WisDOT as Zones 3, 4 or 5. The frozen road law is already in effect in Zones 1 and 2 in the northern portion of
Wisconsin.
The frozen road law allows heavier loads for trucks carrying peeled or unpeeled forest products cut crosswise, salt and
sand for winter maintenance until early March.
The declaration is issued once the ground under highway
pavement is frozen to a depth of at least 18 inches, allowing
the maximum gross weight for trucks hauling logs, or salt
and sand for maintaining roads in winter to go up to 98,000
pounds on vehicles with a minimum of five axles.
Special permits for hauling the increased weights will not
be required in Zones 1, 2 and 3, however, vehicles must be
legally licensed at 80,000 pounds to handle the increased
weights. The higher weight limits do not apply to county or
local roads unless authorized by the local agency having
maintenance authority.
Holstein Breeders sponsor

youth calf loan project
The Chippewa County Holstein Breeders will again sponsor the Chippewa County Calf Project. The purpose of the
project is to promote youth dairy projects by providing youth
with the opportunity to raise and own registered Holstein animals, and emphasize the value of registered animals, production, cow families and pedigrees.
Loan funds at no interest will be made available for youth
to purchase a calf. The youth will then sign a note co-signed
by a parent for collateral. At the end of 24 months, the youth
must pay the loan back to the
association.
To be eligible to apply for
a calf through the project, the
youth must be a resident of
Chippewa County, or belong
to a 4-H or FFA chapter in
the county. The youth must
be at least nine years of age,
and no older than 17, or a
junior in high school, as of
Jan. 1.
For further information
and applications, contact the
Chippewa County Extension
Office in Chippewa Falls at
715-726-7950.
Applications must be received by March 1.
Also, higher weights may not be transported on any highways or bridges specifically posted for lower weight limits.

Cadott/Crescent News
By Shirley Vlach 715-289-3846
Sure is real cold outside. Everyone is staying in where its
nice, cozy and warm. There arent too many cars going by,
just those who have to go to work or those who pick up
clients for their medical appointments at Grandview and
South Ridge Apartments.
The community says deepest sympathy to the John Mike
Roth family.
There arent too many people going out for their daily walk
as they usually do.
Some friends are having birthdays this month. Hope you
have a very happy birthday.
Maybe the ladies aide members skipped their monthly
meeting because of the cold. We can even feel it in the house.
A nice crowd attended the pork steak dinner at Dukes Drywood Tavern in the Town of Arthur.
To the December people who celebrated birthdays and anniversaries, hope you were well remembered with cards and
gifts.

Lake Holcombe Outdoor Recreation Class studies trapper education

By Ginna Young
As part of Brian Guthmans high school Outdoor Recreation Class at Lake Holcombe School, students received a
visit from DNR wildlife technician Lori Wienke on trapper
education Jan. 13. Guthman, who trapped when he was in
high school and is certified as a DNR instructor, is leading
the class through a three-week outdoors study course.
I took the classes and went through the program, Guthman said. I thought, alright, lets do this and teach it to the
kids.

Outdoor Recreation Class Jan. 13. Lori Wienke,
DNR wildlife technician, says beavers can stay
under water for 15 minutes and are called natures
builders.

During the class, Wienke gave students a power point presentation about the states fur-bearing animals, characteristics,
habitat and the biology of animals trapped in Wisconsin. She
also shared aspects of her job with the DNR, and how the
work she does impacts herd and flock management in the
state.
As a wildlife technician, part of Wienkes job consists of
surveying waterfowl in Eau Claire and Chippewa Counties,
monitoring local wolf populations, working with public wardens, and prairie restoration work.
I didnt grow up in a family who trapped or hunted, said
Wienke. So its exciting for me to get outdoors and be a part
of that.
Wienke brought wolf, coyote, bobcat, fox, beaver, muskrat,
fisher, mink and weasel pelts for students to examine, and
listed the most popular animals for trapping and what price
furs sell for.
A timber wolf pelt can go for as much as $625, said
Wienke. On the other end of the scale, a weasel pelt is only
worth $3.
Wienke says it can take as long as two to three years to receive a license to trap bobcats, while some applications are
accepted right away. It just depends.
Its good for kids to learn this, and were getting them outdoors, said Guthman. Those who pass the class will be
DNR certified to trap in Wisconsin for the rest of their lives.
Wienke says her job takes her all over the state in a widerange of duties, and recommends those interested in a wildlife
management career apply online at the DNR website.
There are limited term employment positions through the
DNR, Wienke said. Some focus on wildlife, some on fisheries, some on GIS work or customer service.
If you enjoy the outdoors and running heavy equipment,
this is the job for you. We preserve nature for wildlife; its a
great program to get into.

Victory against rival, a coachs hometown
The ball bounces off the backboard into the hands

of Cadott senior Ben Kyes, but Lake Holcombes
Jay Kent, a senior, has other plans, as he tips the
ball back to his sophomore teammate, Jeremiah
Reedy, during a Jan. 6 game in Cadott.
By Kayla Peche
The Lake Holcombe Chieftain Boys Basketball team
started the week with a tough loss against Cadott, but pulled
out a win when it mattered against an East Lakeland rival.
Jan. 6 vs. Cadott (non-conference)
Only down by six points in the first half, Lake Holcombes
demise was merely being outscored during the second half
of the game, ending 45-75.
The Chieftains put up a fight, drilling eight three-pointers
for the night. Sophomore Jeremiah Reedy had four, ending
with 16 points against Cadott. Senior John Stender Jr. had
two three-pointers, adding 10 points for Lake Holcombe.
After the loss, the Chieftains traveled to Flambeau to play
their head coachs high school team.
Jan. 9 vs. Flambeau (conference)
It was a big night for the Lake Holcombe boys, finishing
with four players in the double figures as they defeated the
Flambeau Falcons, 63-35.
Flambeau is a tough team, said Dave Engel, Chieftains
head coach. But (Flambeau) got into foul trouble early.
As Lake Holcombe went into the locker room at halftime,
they were only ahead by two points, 26-24. In the second
half, the team held the Falcons to only 11 points, and ruled
the scoreboard with 37 points.
Senior Jay Kent led the Chieftains with 16 points, followed
by junior Nick Seng with 13, junior William Hattamer with
12 and Reedy with 11.
Jay Kent had a big second half for us, Engel said. Defensively, he was able to pressure the ball, and get some easy
baskets.
Engel said of the 16 points scored, Kent had 12 just in the
second half, along with 13 rebounds for the night.
An East Lakeland Conference victory was not the only reason Engel was so happy with the team.
This was my first victory against my high school coach,
Engel says, and it feels good.
Lake Holcombe played Winter Jan. 13, at home, and is set
to play Birchwood Jan. 16, also in Chieftains territory.
Best passing game yet

for Hornets basketball
By Kayla Peche
Three Cadott seniors Brett McChesney, Ezra Michael and
Ben Kyes teamed up to dominate the boards with 67 points
for the Hornets boys basketball team, coming out triumphant
over the Lake Holcombe Chieftains, 75-45, at a Jan. 6 nonconference game.
Michael took charge for the Hornets, leading with 30
points, including five of Cadotts eight three-pointers. Kyes
scored 24 points while McChesney added 13.
Brandon Mittermeyer, Cadott head coach, said the Hornets
found their chemistry during this game.
This was the best passing game I have ever seen this team
have as a whole, Mittermeyer said. They worked the ball
around very well and found the open man.
Cadott started out a little slow the first quarter, which led
them to a 26-20 halftime score. Mittermeyer says the shooting wasnt up to standard, yet in the second quarter, the Hornets outscored theChieftains, 19-9.
Really it came down to poor shooting the first quarter,
Mittermeyer said. It happens.
In the second half, the Hornets came through and were unstoppable against Lake Holcombe. Kyes says the first half
the team was trying new things, and finally got the flow of it
in the second.
We were unhappy with our performance in the first half,
Kyes said. So we came out with more intensity, and the
points came.
After this matchup, Cadott traveled to Augusta Jan. 13, and
brought it back home to play a West Cloverbelt Conference
game against Fall Creek, Jan 15.

Chiefs boys gain ground

in Lakeland Conference
By Kayla Peche
The Cornell Chiefs Boys Basketball team may have lost
against the Thorp Cardinals in a non-conference match, but
they defeated the Winter Warriors to advance to third place
in the East Lakeland Conference.
Jan. 6 vs. Thorp (non-conference)
At Thorp, the Chiefs were held to only 13 second-half
points, which led to their loss against the Thorp Cardinals.
Cornell only trailed by six after the first quarter, but were
then outscored, 10-15, in the second quarter, to diminish their
chances of catching back up.
Junior Cortland Spletter had a game-high scoring record
with 19 points, but Thorps three players in the double digits
were hard to compete with, and the Chiefs fell, 29-55, in the
non-conference game.
Jan. 8 vs. Winter (conference)
With three Chief players in the double-digits, it was no surprise when Cornell game out on top against the Winter Warriors, 60-40, in East Lakeland Conference play.
Noah Nohr, Cornell sophomore, led the team with a gamehigh 20 points, including a pair of three-pointers. He says the
game felt good, but not because of his high point total.
Our team worked together and played some outstanding
defense, Nohr said. Our shots fell, which was great.
Colton Hetke, also a sophomore, followed with 15 points
and sophomore Trenton Glaus added 14 for Cornell.
As of deadline, this was the Chiefs second conference victory, putting them in third place.
Cornell hosted Flambeau Jan. 13, and travels to Bruce Jan.
16, for two more conference matchups.

Cadott girls basketball proves to be better

The Hornets continuously had the lead throughout the game,
but at the end of the third, the 29-22 score was a close call. Elizabeth Kyes, Cadott junior, also received her third foul then, and
Hazuga said he was nervous, and pulled her out of the game for
a while.
She has this habit where she doesnt listen to me very well
but in a good way, Hazuga said. So after her third foul I was
a bit scared, but then it was good. It was our best everybody
does a little bit of everything on offense type of game.
Cadott junior Charlene Holte had a season high score of 10
points against Lake Holcombe, and Hazuga says shes been one
of the most consistent players.
I just know what shes going to do, he says. So my level
of trust with her has been so high. For her to score double figures
is great.
Senior Kyla Nichols, junior Tory Crank and Kyes each followed with seven points for the Hornets.
Jan. 8 vs. Stanley-Boyd (conference)
In a West Cloverbelt Conference matchup against StanleyBoyd, the Hornets fell to the Orioles, 33-63.
Hazuga says before the game he thought the
score would be close, but they were outscored
when the defensive plan didnt work out.
We just really didnt play very good defense,
Hazuga said. We keyed on the Reit girl, and we
paid the price because other players hit shots.
That was really the story of the game.
Cadott still had two players in the double digits, with Kyes scoring 13 points and senior
Samantha Rineck adding 10 for the team.
Hazuga said Rineck also added 11 rebounds and
four blocks for Cadott.
Following the loss, the Hornets were back on
the court the next day to face Spring Valley.
Jan. 9 vs. Spring Valley (non-conference)
The girls gained another non-conference victory against the Spring Valley Cardinals, jumping to an early lead, 12-6, after the first quarter.
They kept the momentum going, 30-16, at halftime.

lead, which was then secured by drives from Rineck and Crank, winning the game, 57-52.
We pretty much just hung on to the five point lead the rest of the way, Hazuga said. That was
really the turning point for us.
Hazuga says he really enjoyed this game because the girls handled pressure better than they have
all season.
Kyes scored a game-high 19 points for the Hornets. Freshman Alexis Kramer added 11 and Rineck
scored 12 points with 12 rebounds for Cadott.
I cant overstate Samanthas impact, Hazuga said after Cadott has been 3-3 since her return. She
is showing why she is one of the best players in the conference.

By Kayla Peche
The Cadott Hornets Girls Basketball team is 3-8 this season
after the three games this week. But Dave Hazuga, Hornets head
coach, says wins are not the most important thing. We are
proving we are better now, but we still havent proven that we
are going to come out and win for sure, Hazuga said. But we
are proving were better and thats all Iwant.
Jan. 6 vs. Lake Holcombe (non-conference)
Cadott added a win to the record against the Lake Holcombe
Chieftains, 39-31.
It was the most balanced game of the year, said Hazuga.
Before looking at the score sheet, Hazuga says he noticed
everyone was more comfortable and balanced scoring-wise. He
says it was nice to see the girls work well in a man-to-man defense when they are used to zone.
That is when we saw a number of steals, we kind of put the
game away, Hazuga said. Those fourth quarter steals kind of
took the air out for them (Lake Holcombe), because they were
on the verge of overtaking us.

Foul trouble leads to

an opponents victory
By Kayla Peche
The Cornell Chiefs Girls Basketball team received their
first East Lakeland Conference loss of the season, Jan. 8,
against the Winter Warriors at Winter.
Cornell was tied with Winter, 28-28, at halftime, but Marcus Leland, Chiefs head coach, says fouls led to a, 53-63, fall
against the Warriors.
We allowed Winter to shoot 33 free throws, Leland said.
And they made 25 of them.
The Chiefs were within three points with three minutes left
on the clock, but Leland said that wasnt enough time to finish.
The girls effort was the best all year, Leland said. But
we need to continue to improve our team defense.
Senior Jane Hickethier and sophomore Alexis Short led the
charge for the Chiefs with 11 points each.
The Chiefs brought it back to home court advantage Jan.
13, for another conference game against the Lakeland leading
Flambeau Falcons.

Chieftains basketball needs shots to stick
Page
By Kayla Peche
The Lake Holcombe Chieftains Girls Basketball team
came close to a win against the Hornets early in the week,
but fell in the non-conference game. Although the team
worked hard and shot the ball, it wasnt enough. This continued into the following conference game against the Flambeau Falcons, where shots proceeded to not go in the hole.
Jan. 6 vs. Cadott (non-conference)
Lake Holcombe kept the game close throughout every
quarter, but couldnt quite get the win against the Cadott Hornets Jan. 6.
I feel we worked hard the entire time, said Hannah Lee,
Lake Holcombe sophomore. The difference was we needed
a few more baskets.
With a score of 15-17 after the first half, the Chieftains
made it difficult for Cadott to run away with the win, losing
31-39, by only eight points.
Lee says she was glad to contribute to her teams overall
score, leading Lake Holcombe with a game-high 14 points.
Junior Sara Stender and senior Jordan Geist followed by
adding six points.
In the next game, the Chieftains had to take on the East
Lakeland leaders, the Flambeau Falcons.
BASKETBALL
Jan. 9 vs. Flambeau (conference)

The Chieftains fell, 22-58, against the Flambeau Falcons,
who are undefeated in the East Lakeland Conference, but
Geist says the Chieftains played hard throughout the game.
Theyre (Flambeau) a good team, said Jay Geist, Lake
Holcombe head coach. They hit their shots, and we didnt.
During the first quarter, Lake Holcombe was only behind
by seven points, but in the second quarter, the scores started
to distance.
By halftime, Flambeau led, 26-8, and Geist said if shots
wouldve gone in, it couldve been much closer.
We missed five or six free throws and missed some bunnies where we couldve easily picked up another 10-12
points, he said.
The Chieftains handled the switch in a press by the Falcons
in the third quarter, and Geist says they played great defense.
We struggled a little bit, but did much better as the quarter
went on.
Lake Holcombes biggest struggle, Geist says, is getting
that round thing to go in the hole.
We get the shots, he says, they just dont always go in.
The Chieftains then took on some East Lakeland Conference games, playing Winter Jan. 13, at home, and Birchwood
Jan. 16, also at Lake Holcombe.

Wrestlers improve three places at home scrambler
Cadott senior Cole Hanson wrestles against Glenwood Citys Hogan Chouinard during round one of
a Jan. 10 home scrambler tournament. Hanson
placed fifth overall for 220 pounds, and scored nine
team points.
By Monique Westaby
After a four point loss to Glenwood City, the Cadott Hornets rallied back to take third at their home invitational, three
notches better than last years sixth place finish. The varsity
team hosted seven other schools Saturday, Jan. 10, while the
Jr. High team wrestled Friday night, and the youth team wrestled Sunday.
It takes a tremendous amount of work to conduct a successful tournament, let alone three, said Josh Spaeth, Cadott
Wrestling head coach. Because of a great effort from
coaches, teachers, parents and community members, we had
three successful days of wrestling.
Jan. 6 vs. Glenwood City (non-conference)
Although Cadott earned points for just as many matches
as Glenwood City, the amount of points they earned just wasnt enough to take home a win Jan. 6.
Austin Najbrt, 126 pound senior, was given fastest pin for
his 1:23 fall over Trevor Larson, while Andrew Gunderson,
120 pound freshman, came in just over a minute behind At 160 pounds, Hornet junior Bryan Helminski gets

Wolfpack competitors slam Northwood-Solon Springs

By Kayla Peche
The Cornell-Lake Holcombe-Gilman Wolfpack Wrestling
team hosted a quick match up early in the week to come away
with the win. Over the weekend, the team then traveled to
Cadott for a scrambling tournament.
Jan. 8 vs. Northwood-Solon Springs (conference)
The Wolfpack wrestling team defeated Northwood-Solon
Springs, 54-3, at a Jan. 8 home wrestling match in Cornell.
Matches were short because of multiple forfeits by both the
Wolfpack and the Evergreens.
Sophomores Micah Raatz, Matt Kostka and Peyton Bowe,
along with freshmen Paul Nedland and Zach Person, and senior Eric Nedland, each won their weight class by forfeit for no
opponent.
In the matches that did take place, Cornell-Gilman-Lake
Holcombe dominated the mats.
Sophomore Jake Hillebrand won by a fall over Evergreens
Dakota Semanko. Seniors Spencer Gibson and Dusty Boehm
also won their matches by falls.
Greg Sonnentag, Wolfpack head coach, said the highlight of
the night was the heavy weight (285 pounds) match between
Cornell-Lake Holcombe-Gilmans Takoda Lee and Northwood-Solon Springs Ethan Luedtke.
The match went back and forth, Sonnentag said, And was
tied 9-9 until the last 30 seconds of the match where Luedtke
caught Lee on his back.
The Wolfpack traveled to Cadott for their next tournament
to face against eight other competitive teams.
Jan. 10 Cadott Individual Scramble Tournament
Cornell-Lake Holcombe-Gilman had seven wrestlers place
in the top five during the Cadott invite. Sonnentag says he was
pleased with the wrestlers performances at the tournament.
We had a couple of those matches at the end that we were
right in that I hoped we could finish them off a little stronger,
he said. But overall it was a pretty good day.
Bowe, E. Nedland and Gibson each took second for the

DNR Outdoor Report

An arctic blast has brought frigid temperatures and wind
chills to Wisconsin, slowing outdoor activities in many locations.
Snow depths range from a couple of inches in south central Wisconsin, to more than 18 inches in some far northern
counties. Snowmobile trails are only open in fewer than a
dozen far northern counties and cross country ski trails are
open in the northern half of the state.
With night-time temperatures of 10 below or colder, some
solid lake ice has finally formed on lakes, but many lakes
continue to have areas of thin ice. Panfish have been the
highlight for many anglers, with crappie and bluegill found
in deep water areas.
The waterfowl, turkey, pheasant and gun deer season are
closed, but rabbit, squirrel and some furbearer seasons remain open, as well as archery deer hunting in metro units
through Jan. 31. Coyote and bobcat hunters have taken advantage of the fresh snow; with fresh snow on the ground,
this is a good time to check for animal tracks, including
deer, coyote, fox, raccoon, otter and fisher.
Snowy owls continue to dominate the birding world in

Wisconsin, with more than 225 snowy owls tallied in the
state this winter, compared to nearly 175 as of this time last
year. With the cold snap freezing open water, eagle watching should also improve as they congregate near remaining
open water below dams.
Winter finches have put forth a moderate showing this
year, and pine siskins, American goldfinches and purple
finches are seen statewide. Common redpolls now frequent
feeders throughout the northern half of the state, and
smaller numbers have been spotted nearly to the southern
state line.
Small numbers of waterfowl persist wherever open water
allows, most notably more than 400 tundra swans on Lower
Mud Lake in Dane County. Horned larks, Lapland
longspurs, and snow buntings have also been reported along
road edges and in seed-laden fields.
Rare birds found recently include a northern hawk owl
near Eau Claire, American three-toed woodpecker in Burnett, and varied thrushes at feeders.
An Outdoorsmans Journal By Mark Walters

Mississippi River Gator Hunt
Hello friends,
Here is the scoop. Last September I was hunting ducks on
the Mississippi River, near Ferryville, with my 13-year-old
daughter, Selina, and 21 and 23-year-old stepsons, Joey and
Travis Dushek. We found an area that I was sure would be a
good spot to ice fish; the only problem was that it was 3 miles,
by whatever means of travel you choose, to reach it.
This past week, the four of us and Fire, our very pregnant
golden retriever (due on the 11th), went on one heck of an adventure on the Mississippi River.
My 9 foot enclosed trailer was loaded with my Polaris four
wheeler and a lot of gear. The bed of my truck was so full of
gear we could hardly close the end gate.
On top of my topper were four Otter Sleds.
Friday, Jan. 2 High 36, Low 29
Once again this week, there is way more story than I have
space to write. First, our gang stopped at Ace Hardware in La
Crosse, where we purchased $60 worth of shiners (this is a
gator hunt).
Second, we headed south on Highway 35 and a dark cloud
hit us like a wet blanket. Much of the river and backwaters
were open.
It was 2 p.m. and we didnt have the daylight hours to lose
many daylight hours. We made it to Ferryville and there was
open water at the landing. Without hesitation, we headed
north and the boys were bummed; there was no doubt Id
have to pull a rabbit out of the hat to save this adventure.
Then, I had a brainstorm. I spoke with two fishermen in
Ace Hardware who told me they had done very well catching
27-35 inch northern pike on a backwater of the Mississippi
right in La Crosse. Joey looked at my receipt and there was
the magic number. I called Ace and got directions and an excellent report.
Here is where things got a little crazy.
Third, our plan was to sleep in my Eskimo Fat Shack and
my trailer. No one on the ice was on a four wheeler and there
was a question as to whether or not we could legally run a
four wheeler to our new
honey hole. The other question was regarding the quality of the ice.
Trav went on a quick
recon mission, while the rest
of us unloaded 7 tons of
gear.
Trav came back with good news and I took the first load
out via four wheeler and Otter Sled, with a lot of what the
heck looks. Next, we hooked up the trailer and really get
some looks, but with an hour of daylight we were on the ice.
No fish today, but we had a fine home cooked meal of
spaghetti and as always, a lot of laughter.
Saturday, Jan. 3 High 37, Low 28
A truly incredible day would best describe today. Early in
the morning my buddy, Gary Howe, out of Prairie du Chien,
joined us for the day. We had 15 tip ups out on top of 20 to 30
feet of water, with the shiners 6 feet below the ice. The flags
were flying and a lot of gators hit the ice by our gang and
many other people. Almost all of our fish were between 2735 inches.
There was just enough snow on the ice that it was as slippery as it could possibly be. Gary went for a gaff because Joey
was fighting a big fish. Garys feet went out from underneath
him and he took quite possibly the worst fall I have ever seen
on the ice, and landed on the back of his head.
At first, Gary wasnt moving or talking. Then, he quivered
and said, its bad. Long story short, 20 minutes later he iced
a 34 inch gator and by the end of the day we had kept 12
gators averaging 31 inches.
Selina cooked scrambled eggs with ham. Travis cooked
brats. Joey cooked venison. When the boys were growing up,
they quickly learned they needed to help with the chores and
they always have. At 10:30 that night, Selina and I each had
a flag, and put two more in the livewell.
Later in the evening, the cold spell that gripped the northern
hemisphere hit our camp and it was nasty with a capital N.
Though the fish were still hungry the next morning, it was a
lesson in pure focus just to break camp, get everything off the
ice, and pack the truck and trailer.
This trip was another lesson of why doing stuff with your
kids in the outdoors keeps your kids hanging out with you
long after they graduate from high school.
In closing, local information, ears to listen and not
creating lock jaw in whom
you are trying to get that
info from saved this trip.
We had a blast!

Life

Coon Motel
We had dropped Blaze,
Chaos and Cordellia in a
small field, and theyd crossed the road and headed through
some beans. Amongst the beans sat an old fallen down barn
that had collapsed on itself several years before.
The barn was only about 100 yards in, and while Scott
hoofed it on foot, I chose the easier route and jumped in
the truck with our friend, Jerry. Kendra, our nine-year-old
helper, rode with her dad, Carl, and as soon as both vehicles were parked, we grabbed the lights and stood next to
the trucks.
Our GPS was basically useless at this point, as one
minute the dogs showed they were in the barn, then popped
up 150 yards into the field. Utilizing the best tracking system we have (our ears), we listened to the faint howls of
the dogs.
Sure enough, they were in the fallen down barn; not a
small barn either.
Scott walked around to the south side, where Blaze and
Cordellia stood, barking at the small hole made by broken,
piled barn boards and nails. Kendra, Jerry and I stumbled
our way through the tall grass and into the bean field, peering into the thick mass of boards.
By now, Scott had caught Blaze and Cordellia, stopping
them from again crawling through the tangled mess of danger. I took their leads and walked them back to the truck.
The other one sounds really far away, said Kendra.
I think thats because shes way inside, I replied.
Remembering the culvert incident a few years back,
where Scott had to crawl in to get Chaos out, my concern
grew about her, and my husbands, safety. Chaos doesnt
like to give up, and I knew this wasnt going to be an easy
task for anyone.
Kendra, Jerry and I stuck together while Scott and Carl
tried to find a way into the coon haven. I handed Kendra
my flashlight, and we shined around the west side of the
barn to see if there was any way in.
The cement wall of a basement, topped with a shingled
roof looked back at us, and we were stuck wondering what
was going to happen next, while we amused ourselves with
my glow-in-the-dark painted nails.
I hear her again, said Kendra.
Chaos was muffled and sounded 200 yards away, even
though she was a mere several feet under the rubble.
Crawling through the hole Blaze and Cordellia came out
of wasnt an option, so Scott and Carl found a somewhat
open pathway on the north side.
Scat and sign everywhere made it obvious this coon
motel was open for business. Unfortunately, it wasnt made
for humans, and cement walls blocked the guys way of getting to Chaos from the north.
To our surprise, Chaos bark grew louder. In a matter of
seconds, she sounded two feet away, and Scott caught her
on the east side of the barn. I was so relieved and sent up
a prayer that Chaos had come out.
Does this mean were done coon hunting for tonight?
asked Kendra, with a twinge of sadness in her voice.
No way, I said and smiled, climbing back in the truck
for another run.
Somehow Chaos always seems to find the most

inconvenient places to track a coon, like this
fallen down barn. Her sisters and she crawled
through the hole to the top of the photo, and proceeded to make their way under and over rubble
before finally coming back out on their own.

2014, board meeting.
MC.
Liptak and seconded by
Rykal to approve the bills
dated Jan. 5, 2015. Motion by roll call. MC.
Rykal to open the Public
Hearing on a zone
change request from R-1
Residential to B-1 Business for Liz Pitsch and
Melinda Murkley at 531 N.
Main St. Public present:
listed above. Jeremy
Nawrocki stated that he
bought the house in a residential area and he
would like to keep it that
way. Dressler commented
that he lives across the
alley and they have a
problem with the traffic
being congested in the
alley now, especially if the
building will have apartments. His concern is
there is not room for any
more
cars.
Barbara
Dressler stated that some
people only have access
to their garages from the
alley and is worried about
a safety issue. Jordan
and Megan Vizer stated
they have the same issues as discussed already with the alley being
their only access to their
garage. Melinda Murkley
(proposed owner) stated
that she doesnt want to
block the alley at all and

she wants to be neighbor
friendly. She stated that
with four apartments,
there would be two cars
for each apartment. She
stated that they could do
slant parking like they do
up behind the library.
President Albarado stated
that he talked with the
Public Works director and
they had a water break
there so if apartments
would be put in, they
would have to be aware
that a bigger service
would have to be installed. Trustee Kuehni
stated that he thought the
original plan was to have
three apartments. President Albarado asked how
the water runs there because of the low area.
Murkley stated they would
probably have to move
some dirt in. Trustee
Chapek asked if they
would still build if they didnt put the apartments in.
Murkley stated that they
want to for the extra income. Trustee Rykal
stated that it seems like
the people do not want to
see all that extra traffic.
Murkley stated that they
would also work with
Leisers Funeral Home for
scheduling. Trustee Liptak stated that that isnt
realistic because Leisers
cant schedule deaths. He
stated that Leisers is
there already and this is a
new business coming in
to a residential. Doug
Bremness arrived late. Albarado asked if he had
any concerns. He wanted
to know how high this
building was going to be.
He stated it will affect him
the most because he has
to get up every day and
look at a business instead
of a residential dwelling.
Murkley stated she could
cut out the community
room to make it smaller
but thought it would be
nice to have somewhere
else to go for events other
than a bar. A motion was
made by Chapek and
seconded by Licht to
close the Public Hearing.
MC.
Kuehni to open the next
Public Hearing on a Conditional Use Permit for a
business to be located in
a B-2 Highway Commercial District which requires
a Public Hearing. Public
present: listed above. The
business will be for a
sales, service and repair
shop. A motion was made

by Liptak and seconded
by Rykal to adjourn the
Public Hearing. MC.
Licht to have the village
board give the authority
to the Zoning Committee
to approve the Conditional Use Permit because it was not listed
on the agenda tonight.
MC.
The sealed quotes for
the clearing and grubbing
of trees and stumps on
land owned by the village
on Tower Drive were
opened and read aloud.
The first quote was from
John Olynick. The total
for the project was
$38,600. The second
quote was from Bowe
Trucking for a total of
$9,948. A motion was
made by Chapek and
seconded by Liptak to approve the Bowe Trucking
quote contingent that we
amend the erosion control
plan, if necessary, and
that Rolly (D.P.W.) reviews the quotes received. MC.
Licht to approve a Certified Survey Map for land
purchased by Jeremy Kenealy from Vern Emerick.
MC.
Kuehni to approve Resolution 2015-1A Resolution to Designate Citizens
State Bank and the State
Investment Pool as Official Depositories for Municipal Funds. MC.
Sedivy to approve Resolution 2015-2A Resolution
Authorizing
the
Village President to Expend Funds without approval from the village
board. MC.
Rykal to approve Rolly
Tichy and Jamie Larson
attending an annual Rural
Water Conference. MC.
Under Public Comment-none.
Trustee Chapek asked
Nussbaum about the
water running under the
road on Tower Drive. It is
displacing some rock.
Nussbaum stated that we
are monitoring it and will
correct anything that
needs correcting before
the second blacktop lift is
put on.
A Zoning Committee
meeting was set up for

Jan. 7, 2015, at 10 a.m.
The village board is giving
the Committee the authority to approve the Conditional Use Permit for KXR
Motors because it was inadvertently omitted from
the agenda.

Cornell Gun Show
Howard Packer, of Bloomer, had his table of hunting related items for sale at the Cornell Gun Show
Saturday, Jan. 10 and Sunday, Jan. 11. Packer sells
old knives, baits and decoys, and says hes been
exhibiting at the show for quite awhile. Packer
said his oldest item for sale was an early 50s duck
decoy, which is valued $40-$50.
Marv Kraus Promotions held their annual gun show
at the Cornell High School Jan. 10-11, with 134 tables catering to about 1,400 browsers. As well as
new and antique guns, in all colors, shapes and
sizes, the show featured clothing, socks, knives,
ammunition and other outdoor related items. Although the Packer game slowed outdoor enthusiasts during Sundays show, Kraus says Saturday
had more in attendance than last year, and next
years show is already scheduled for Jan. 9 and 10.

Cadott School Board - Continued from Front

Damon Smith, Cadott district administrator, said transportation costs are nominal or very small; the facility
wouldnt change costs, materials would come out of funding, and estimated staffing costs would be around $100,000.
After board recommendations, Smith said he would look
into more precise costs for the proposed plan.
This is mostly for information, said Smith. We can
pass a motion during the February meeting. Then, you will
have enough information to make a clear decision.
Horan says she would like to see more preschool children
attending Cadott to grow the community, and also provide
the best education possible for these students.
We think the kids who are attending 4K are really benefitting from it, Horan said. We are working together to
provide the best opportunities for the kids in Cadott, and
possibly even from other communities.
The board decided to research more information and data
about the benefits of a more consistent 4K program, as well
as look at other schools who have already implemented the
program.
Spring school board elections were also discussed at the
meeting. Cadott School Board has two positions open for
election, and five candidates have shown interest, providing
Lori Stushek Agency, LLC

adds Ann Thompson to
the Cornell office staff
the need for a primary election.

Greg Maziarka, Charlotte Seibel, Terri Goettl, P. Scot
Kelly and Christine Rowe have filed for election to the
school board. The primary election will be held Tuesday,
Feb. 17, and the general election will be April 7.
The board approved lowering costs for the primary election by limiting polling locations to four places the Town
of Arthur, Town of Goetz, Town of Sigel and the Village of
Cadott. Any resident may vote at any one of the four polling
places during regular election hours, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Also on the agenda, the board accepted a resignation from
Scott Mateski as assistant baseball coach. Mateski said he
resigned from the position, because his school and work
schedules conflicted.
The board also approved hiring Shanon Thon as middle
school special education teacher. Thon has been a long-term
sub for the district, and the board says she has done an outstanding job.
Child Development Day, which provides families with
the opportunity to learn more about the growth and development level of their child, and receive 4K registration information, has been rescheduled from Feb. 11 to
Wednesday, Feb. 25.
Wear and tear leads

to chiropractic career
By Heather Dekan
After seeing how the chiropractor was the only one who
helped her dad from all the
wear and tear he put on his
body, Dr. Tonya Prokop decided thats what she wanted
to do.
I want to make that difference that his chiropractor did
with him, said Prokop.
Kromrey
Chiropractic,
Dr. Tonya Prokop
which has been in business in
Cadott for the past 25 years, added Prokop to their team in
December.
Were excited to welcome Dr. Prokop to Kromrey Chiropractic, said Dr. Shawn Kromrey, clinic owner. Her enthusiasm is contagious and its clear she has a sincere regard for
the well-being of our practice members.
Prokop, who grew up in Sheldon and graduated from
Flambeau High School, says she knew she wanted to be a
doctor since she was five years old. It was during her junior
year in high school that her dad gave her an ultimatum.
Iwasnt really sure which route Iwanted to take in high
school, said Prokop. My dad was in the concrete business
and he was always busy, and it was really hard on his body.
So one day he told me that I was either going to work with
him, or Ihad to figure out what Iwanted to do.
Prokop attended UW-Eau Claire, majoring in kinesiology
with an emphasis in human performance, graduating in 2010.
She then went on to receive her Doctorate of Chiropractic
degree in November 2014 from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minn.
Im really positive and Ilove working with people, said
Prokop. Ihave that drive to make people feel better and I
want to help them reach their goals.
To set up an appointment with Dr. Prokop, call Kromrey
Chiropractic at 715-289-5000.
