Courier number change

gives community more
By Monique Westaby
Change.
Its a word that instills a sense of unease in many people,
but now is the time to take that unease, and turn it into something more. Something more, like excitement for new things
to happen at your local newspaper.
Although the Courier Sentinel Cornell office has had the
same phone number since the dinosaurs, well, maybe not that
long, but at least since the 80s, its time for something more.
As of March 6, 2015, anyone wishing to contact the Cornell Courier Sentinel office will need to call 715-861-4414.
The 239 number will no longer be active after that date.
For Cadott residents, the office in Cadott will keep the
same number, 715-289-4978, and our fax number will also
remain the same, 715-239-6200. All email addresses will also
stay unchanged.
The number switch is in light of a new phone system at the
Courier Sentinel office, which will let us contact our publisher and subscription department with basically the touch
of a button, allowing for quicker response time to consumer
questions.
The new system also gives more options to the community,
allowing callers to contact the editor, sports department, ad
department or main office directly.
So next time you have a question or comment about your
Courier Sentinel, dont think 239, think something more, and
dial 4414.

A 4:30 a.m. controlled burn on 155th Avenue in the Township of Arthur resulted in the Cornell Area Fire
Department responding to the scene Tuesday,March 3. The department was toned out for a possible

When crews arrived, the owner of the abandoned house, Joseph Muska, said the fire was lit around 3
a.m., and he did not want the fire department to put it out. Obtaining a burning permit in the Township of

Liaison training approved for Cadott officers

By Kayla Peche
Cadott School District would like to work hand-in-hand
with the Cadott Police Department to keep students safe, says
Louis Eslinger, police chief.
At a previous regular Cadott Village Board meeting Feb.
16, the police committee recommended liaison training for
two Cadott police officers.
A liaison officer serves as the primary contact between the
school district and the police department on any problems
within the district. The officers would be educated on childrens safety, and be available for emergency situations.
The Cadott School Board agreed to pay the registration
fees for the officers, and asked the village board to cover expenses for room, board and transportation.
Gerald Rykal, village board member, said at the Feb. 16
meeting that the board would also cover costs for part-time
officers in Cadott during the two-day training. At the March
2 regular Cadott Village Board meeting, Rykal said the cost
was worth it.
The training that they are going to get will substitute for
some of the training that is required each year for officers in
order for them to keep their certification, Rykal said. So,
when we talked about the cost to the village for part-timers,
thats pretty much a wash.
Rykal recommended the board approve paying the expense

Sex may sell tickets, but the Stanley Theater wont buy into it
Page
By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
In the wake of the popularity with the release of 50
Shades of Grey (its
grossed over $486 million
in theaters worldwide
since its Valentines Day
release), a local theater has decided to not
show the film in their venue.
On their Facebook page Feb. 24, the Eslinger family posted to their followers that The
Stanley Theater would not play the movie, as
it did not comport with (their) mission and
(their) community family focus.
Stanley is lucky to have a business that will
stand up for their values. While the theater received some negative feedback about not
showing the movie, many of the comments reflected members of the community who were
grateful for the Eslinger family sticking to
their guns.
Thank you for NOT showing this movie! We
appreciate your family values, one Facebooker
posted. Thank you for being community
minded, posted another.
The movie, now in its third week at the box
office, is based on a novel by E.L. James.,
where according to the Internet Movie Database literature student Anastasia Steele goes
to interview billionaire Christian Grey and
discovers a beautiful, yet troubled, man. She
discovers herself wanting to be with him, despite his stalker-like tendencies. She soon discovers Grey is consumed by a desire to control
everything, including her very life.
The erotic novel is about a sadomasochistic
relationship, and is basically written pornography, describing sexual encounters between
the two. Filmmakers have brought this to the
big screen, and although the film has an R rating, which limits how much can be shown to
viewers, nudity and full female frontal fills
nearly a third of the films 125 minutes.
According to the Motion Picture Association of Americas film rating system, a film
which carries the R rating is considered restricted, which means: under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
Contains some adult material. Parents are
urged to learn more about the film before taking their young children with them.
Contains some adult material. Some?! The
entire plot is based on, and follows, a sexual
relationship.
There once was a place for movies such as
these, and people didnt brag about going to
them. Girls didnt get into groups and advertise
being there, posting photos and calling everyone they knew.
While the 1st Amendment protects producers, directors and filmmakers with their freedom of speech, it doesnt mean filming a
movie based on a sexual relationship is right.
Those who have read the book argue that its
not only about sex, yet according to every post
about the book and/or movie, its somehow
still the topic of conversation. Sex sells, but
how far does Hollywood need to go to make a
buck? Or rather, how much does Hollywood
need to show to make a buck?
The top five grossing movies of all time are
Avatar, Titanic, Marvels the Avengers, Harry
Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 and
Frozen. Read those again. Aside from Titanic,
do any of those induce a nude memory? In-
When she told him to stop, he proceeded to

sexually assault her, and said it was consensual.
Films like this sensationalize a dominating
relationship, and open the door for tragic occurrences to happen more easily. While the
topic itself should not be off limits, publicity
and visuals should be.
The movie has been called a chick-flick, and
even men have said they enjoyed watching
(not just for the sex scenes); but women, if you
go to a movie with your man about racing cars,
isnt it safe to say they drive a little faster on
the way home? Whats to stop the same from
happening after going to a movie like this?
If you want to see the movie, its your right.
But take the effort to discuss with your partner
your comfort level if you decided to take any
of it home with you. Opinions wont stop this
movie (and most likely others along the same
lines) from being produced, but common
sense and understanding what you see can stop
a negative result from happening.
As for the Stanley Theater, thank you for
choosing to uphold wholesome family values,
and not being blinded by the money making
side of the big screen. Filmmakers may have
the right to produce these movies, but it takes
morals to decide which ones will or will not
be played for the public.
Thank you Stanley Theater, and thank you
Eslinger family.

cluding Titanic, is your first thought when you

hear these titles that the movie is about sex?
Filmmakers shouldnt be limited on what
they can produce, that will only lead to what
the 1st Amendment is trying to avoid, but the
big screen isnt where sex should be sold.
For years, sex was an untalked about topic,
and many relationships have, and still do, suffer the consequences of it being the mysterious part of life. Partners should feel
comfortable to discuss such topics with each
other, whatever your preference in bed is, but
that doesnt mean the world needs to know
about it.
Times have changed drastically in the last
50 years, and where once intimate subjects
coming out in the open were a good thing, giving women (and men) the freedom to discuss
and express their preferences, Hollywood has
taken it too far.
There is nothing wrong with a consensual
adult relationship where one partner is more
dominating than another, but movies like 50
Shades of Grey take that relationship to a level
where film fans are getting hurt, and hurting
others.
Just last week a 19-year-old college student
was charged with aggravated criminal sexual
assault after he told police he and a 19-yearold woman were re-enacting the 50 Shades
movie. The account of the victim says he
bound her, and hit her with a belt and his fists.

for a number of years.

A question arises.
How do you determine a successful sports
program?
Is it in the wins and losses? Number of athletes signed to a post high school career? Stats?
Baskets? Pins? Runs?
The answers to these are no. Those do not
determine the success of a sports program.
A successful sports program is measured by
integrity and sportsmanship; the ability to work
collaboratively in a group, and use each persons
strengths and talents to achieve a common goal.
It is also measured by tenacity. The ability
to stick with something even when its tough,
and by the concept of team. To count on one
another, and stick by your teammates even
when things get rough.
In high school, I knew I wouldnt go anywhere with my athletic ability. Iwas in sports
because my classmates and friends were, and
Iwanted to be a part of that.
What Iam left with now are the memories
made from those times in high school sports,
and the lessons provided from my outstanding
coaches.
The memory of defeating a team rival. The
memory of riding the bus with my friends to a
game. The memory of getting so nervous before a track meet that I got sick, but still pulled
through to compete.
The lesson to never give up even though
Ididnt think I was good enough. The lesson
that I may not be the best, but that Iwas great
at inspiring my teammates.
All those memories and lessons, the good
and the bad, I will have for a lifetime because
of high school sports. Ihave learned values
from sports that I can use in my everyday life.
From situations with friends to conflicts at
work, those successes from my sports program have helped me grow as a person.
Now my work has brought me back into the
world of high school sports, allowing me the
opportunity to talk to coaches and players

about their accomplishments and failures
their memories and lessons.
I may not get a great inside look on what
happens in the locker rooms or bus rides, but
while speaking with coaches and players,
I know they understand what high school
sports are all about.
The important things are what the players
learn from their experience. Whether the players make it to state, play the season out, or support from the bench, an impact is being made.
In a successful program, players gain integrity, learn the values of teamwork and become a part of something bigger than
themselves.
Coaches especially lay a foundation for the
students, and while some may fuss and undermine every decision made by a coach, the most
important responsibility of being a member of
any athletic program is to never disrespect the
coaches. When you choose to be a part of an
athletic program, you release control to the
coach. If you dont like how things are going,
choose another program.
The team may not win every match or every
game, but what are the players really learning
from it? Are they succeeding in other aspects
of their life, such as learning teamwork and patience? And most of all, are they making those
memories?
I have nothing but appreciation for coaches
who work not only to make good players but
who also teach them to be productive citizens
with strong character, determination and integrity.
High school sports pull a group of people together to achieve a common goal, and if those
students have a successful program, they are
going to have a positive impact on their community.
A successful program develops great
coaches, players and fans.
What more can you ask for?

Cadott Fire Chief Rick Sommerfeld says the Cadott Fire
Department is concerned with a monthly service fee for a
water meter that doesnt get much use.
Why pay about $1,500 a year for a meter that sometimes
doesnt get used in a month? Sommerfeld asked the board
at the March 2 regular Cadott Village Board meeting. I
know last year there were at least three months that we didnt
flow an ounce of water through it.
Anson Albarado, village board president, invited Cadott
fire department members to the meeting to discuss issues
about a $126 monthly service charge on a four inch water
meter.
One of our options is to just take the meter out, Albarado
said. But then Rick said he needs access to that water.
Sommerfeld said years back, the department was not
charged for the water. Then, more recently, the Public Service Commission (PSC) did an audit, issuing a monthly
charge.
Its not like the village is looking at it for revenue, Som-

Dear Wisconsin Legislators,
The Lakeland Conference is a large athletic conference
of 21 rural school districts in Northwest Wisconsin. The
communities served by our school districts have individual
and unique needs that are met through our respective school
systems.
Each community has high expectations for quality educational programming for its students and community members. The communities in Northwest Wisconsin thrive when
their school systems are strong and able to provide the quality programs that keep the communities vibrant.
All the superintendents in the Lakeland Conference agree
that the education of our children is of paramount importance when considering state fiscal matters, and our rural
communities depend upon strong public school systems. In
many communities, the school district is the largest employer.
With respect to the Governors 2015-2017 State Budget
Proposal, we respectfully request that you reconsider the
elimination of the per pupil categorical aid. In addition, the
proposal to maintain current law by providing $0 for the
per pupil adjustment for revenue limits in 2015-16 and
2016-17 should be carefully considered.
In light of increased costs, inflation, and unfunded mandates, it can be argued that both of these provisions should
be increased, not reduced or eliminated altogether. Adequate inflationary growth is minimally necessary to maintain and grow our educational programs.
The aid reduction and lack of a per pupil adjustment to
the revenue limit will have serious budgetary implications
for schools. For many of our schools, the consequence will
be reduced programming and staff reductions. With school
districts operating leanly and efficiently in the wake of recent budgets, these changes will only serve to negatively
impact programming for students and our communities.
Our communities have come to depend on the exemplary
educational opportunities that we offer and will not be able
to readily replace these programs outside the school setting.
If districts have to reduce staffing as a result of the budgetary proposal, not only do students lose, but also unemployed staff members.
Regarding school accountability, one assessment system
will provide the most effective way to determine long-term
academic growth. One assessment system lends reliability
and validity to school accountability. More than one assessment system, or optional assessment systems, will only

serve to reduce the efficacy of the accountability system.

Additionally, the current school and district report card
system has been functioning successfully for two years. The
addition of an A-F rating system will over-simplify the current rating system. The current ratings are numerical and
offer a clear distinction between ratings and subsequent
school districts.
The current report card system has more to offer parents
and community members in an analysis of a school district
than a simple letter grade. Letter grades do not tell the
whole story of our school districts, especially the meaningful roles they play as community learning centers and as
excellent employers within our communities.
Lets work collaboratively for the students in Wisconsin
and our communities that depend upon quality public education. Please contact any of us to discuss how the proposed
budget will impact our school districts and the children that
we serve. We know that effective collaboration will help us
achieve great things for our students and our communities.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Lakeland Superintendents Group

merfeld said. You look at $126 a month, thats a lot of

money a year for a volunteer fire departmentfor a meter
you might or might not run water through.
The board explained the monthly bill was a service charge
by the PSC, which goes into the utility fund.
Its the rules, said Randy Kuehni, board member. If you
want a meter there, the fire department would have to reduce
that meter at your own cost.
Albarado says his best suggestion to get rid of the monthly
charge is to take out the meter, or go to a smaller one (at the
fire departments expense) for a lower rate.
We need to fill trucks with it, said Sommerfeld.
Sommerfeld says the water is a last resort because the
trucks will use the north and south towers or a hydrant before
going to the meter. Its basically just used to fill trucks when
were done with a run.
Lester Liptak, board member, asked Sommerfeld how a
smaller meter would affect the amount of time it takes to fill
the two trucks.
It cant be real small because you are putting 2,000 gallons in it2,100 in one and 1,500 in the other, Sommerfeld
said. I dont want to sit there all night and my guys dont
want to sit there all night either.
Currently, the fire department runs two and a half inches
of water through the four inch pipe, which Sommerfeld says
takes roughly seven to 10 minutes to fill a truck.
We have other stuff to do when we come back from a
fire, Sommerfeld said. So, if you have to wait 10 minutes
for one truck and 10 minutes for the other truck, thats not
the end of the world.
Rolly Tichy, director of public works and former fire chief,
looked into the pricing for smaller meters. The recommended
two and half meter is no longer available with their distributor, but a two-inch or three-inch meter would reduce the
monthly cost by over $50.
Sommerfeld asked if there were extra two-inch meters in
the village to see how long it would take to fill a truck. He
said he would like to try it first because the department doesnt want to take over 30 minutes to fill a truck.
Tichy said he would attempt to get a loaner two-inch meter
for the department.
I guess it depends how much the taxpayers want to keep
paying for this meter, Sommerfeld said. Im trying to keep
my budget down.
Sommerfeld and Paul Helminski, chair of the fire board,
said they would take the information and pricing back to
their board to find a solution.
We would like to resolve this issue once and for all, said
Albarado.
Healthy eating routine starts at the family table

Submitted by the Chippewa County
Department of Public Health
Mealtime might just be the most challenging part of being
a mom or dad. Healthy kids require healthy foods. The Wisconsin WIC Nutrition Program (Women, Infants and Children) is here for parents.
WIC provides guidelines to help parents role model and
teach healthy eating behaviors and routines during a childs
early developmental years. With the help of WIC, parents
and children can learn healthy eating, meal and snack routines, appropriate portion sizes, taste preferences and nutritional value.
During developmental years, children should have an eating routine that consists of three primary meals and two
snacks, given at about the same time each day. This is a
process where the child is taught to eat when hungry, and
stop eating when full. Meal portions should be served as
child size servings; starting with about one tablespoon of
each food for each year of the childs age.
During these developmental years, parents should allow
children to explore and become comfortable with eating a
variety of foods, but never force them to eat. Children can
learn by watching their parents and other family members
eat healthy foods together, and set meal times are important
for younger children.
Meal time has always been centrally important, but especially in a household with younger children, since it is a new
learning experience for them, said Judy Fedie, Chippewa

County WIC program director. Parents must be encouraging
and let their children know it is OK to dislike certain foods,
but always promote healthy options.
Whenever possible, parents should allow the child to serve
themselves, as this gives them insight on making their own
food decisions.
WIC nutritionists talk with parents about their childs nutrition needs, growth, health history and family eating habits,
and WIC moms and dads receive meal planning tips, recipes
and information on how to shop on a budget. WIC children
also receive healthy foods such as low-fat milk, whole grain
cereal, 100 percent fruit juice, eggs, peanut butter, fruits and
vegetables, brown rice and others.
Referrals can be made to Early Head Start and Head Start
Programs, and children who receive WIC food benefits
demonstrate improved readiness for school.
The WIC Program is administered at the federal level by
the Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. It was established in 1974 to provide federal
grants to states for nutrition education, supplemental foods,
and health care referrals for low and moderate-income pregnant, breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding postpartum
women, as well as infants and children who have a health or
nutrition need.

Tales of our Beginnings

Cadott Cornell Lake Holcombe areas
The Munroe Building

In 1880, James
Munroe built a two
story wood frame
building on the corner of Main and
Ginty Streets, and established one of
Cadotts first general
stores.
A larger brick
structure was erected
in its place in 1893, and James son, Fred, took over the business. The original building
was moved west, to the back of the new store, where it remains today.
In 1896, the State Bank of Cadott was established by Fred, and occupied the north
side of the store. In 1913, the bank was moved to the east side of Main Street into a new
building.
The name of the bank was changed in 1920 to the Farmers and Merchants Bank,
and served customers until 1926, when it closed several years before the Great Depression.
Over the years, the building housed numerous stores, including cash stores, a Gambles
Store, Hardware Hank, Ace Hardware, True Value Hardware and, at present, the Cadott
Hardware, operated
by Derek Chantelois.
The next time youre
heading toward Main
Street from Ginty
Street, look to your
right and you will see
two of Cadotts historic buildings.

Rusk County Hospital

earns reaccreditation
The laboratory at Rusk County Memorial Hospital has
earned reaccreditation with a 99 percent overall score from
COLA, a national healthcare accreditation organization.
The lab, which serves hospital and clinic patients, increased its score 5 percent since its last accreditation survey
two years ago. Reaccreditation is achieved by adhering to
strict quality standards in daily operations, demonstrating
consistent testing accuracy and completing a rigorous on-site
survey.
While nearly 1,200 labs scored above 90 percent, few
reached the 99 percent mark.
Achieving a 99 percent on our accreditation process
demonstrates the high level of precision, accuracy and quality
the lab staff strive to achieve, lab manager Deyette Helminski said.
Since the last on-site survey, the lab has added 11 new tests
to serve patients. The additional in-house tests allow patients
and physicians to receive results, and make care decisions
more efficiently, compared to sending tests to another facility
for results.
The expedited process also
helps decrease patient costs,
while decreasing patient
anxiety, by providing a faster
turnaround time for results.

The tests include, but are not

is hosting its 18th Annual
HAM DINNER
The WSMA says their primary focuses of the festivals are

to improve student music performance through assessment,
increase student understanding of music literature and music
concepts, motivate students to continue the study of music,
establish standards of excellence in music performance and
provide opportunities for students to understand the relationship of music experiences to other life experiences.

More than 325 students will participate

in a Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA) sanctioned
Solo and Ensemble Music
Festival Saturday, March 7,
from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
hosted by the Cornell
High School. There is no
charge for the event and it
is open to the public.
The festival will draw students from seven junior and senior high schools, including Lake
Holcombe, Flambeau, Birchwood, Bruce, New Auburn, Winter and host school Cornell.
During solo and ensemble festivals, students prepare vocal
or instrumental solos, duets, trios or small ensembles to perform before an adjudicator. WSMA music festivals annually
attract thousands of students from middle, junior and senior
high schools throughout Wisconsin. Last year, more than
182,000 students participated statewide.
The exciting part about these music festivals, is that students are measured against a standard of excellence rather
than competing against each other, said Bill Bocian, festival
manager. The festival format allows students at various levels of experience to participate.
WSMA Music Festivals provide students with the opportunity to perform and be evaluated. Over the years, the emphasis of these musical events has changed from contests,
where ratings were the most important, to festivals, which
are focused on providing a learning experience for students.

Holcombe Happenings
By Janice Craig 715-595-4380
Many residents from Holcombe attended the REA meeting Saturday in Cornell. I dont remember in the 51 years
I have been married, ever missing a meeting. Things have
certainly changed for the better as the years have gone
by.
The Holcombe United Methodist Church will serve another delicious ham dinner Sunday, March 8. Serving starts
at 10:30 a.m., and goes until everyone is served, or the food
is gone. This is an excellent way to get to see our neighbors
to see how they are doing in this long winter, when it has
been difficult for many to get out.
Oakley and Janice Craig attended the open forum for Sen.
Terry Moulton Monday in Cornell, at the City Hall. That is
one job that requires a lot of prayer to know how to vote on
a bill when protestors are screaming and carrying on like
spoiled brats wanting their own way. There were only about
a dozen in attendance, which is a shame when they take
their time out to go to hear the concerns of their constituents.
The Holcombe Seniors Club will meet Wednesday,
March 11, at noon, with a potluck meal. They will play
BINGO. Everyone is asked to bring a prize for the game.
Every senior in Holcombe is invited to attend.
Word was received this week that Oakley and Janice
Craigs granddaughter, Jessica, will graduate in May from
Winona University in Minn., with a GPA of 4.0. Schools in
Iowa, Tennessee, Arizona and California have offered her
complete scholarships to attend their schools. She has goals
of being a doctor of nutrition. She is still running with the
cross country track team, competing against the girls attending higher ranked teams.

Student council turns

school into war zone
By Monique Westaby
If youre heading to the Cornell High School anytime in
the next two weeks be careful, its a battlefield, or rather a
war zone. But dont worry, there wont be any briars or
brambles to run through, just jars awaiting donations.
Pennies for Patients, a fundraiser for kids with Leukemia,
sometimes referred to as Penny Wars, is in full swing at
the high school, thanks to the efforts from the Cornell High
School Student Council. This year, the council will run the
event for two weeks, March 2-16.
For each class we put a jar by the office, explained
Kelsey Peterson, student council president. If you bring in
change, we count that change and you get points for your
class. If you bring in cash (paper) money, that is negative, so
you would put it in a different class jar.
Marcus Leland, student council adviser, says in the past
two years, the school has earned nearly $2,000 for the
Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. The drive was originally held
for three weeks, but Leland says this year they are only running it for two, and would love to see at least $500.
Peterson says for the first week, an ice cream treat will be
given to the winning class, and then an overall class winner
at the end of the war is given a pizza party.
The first year we did it it got really competitive, said
Elizabeth Sproul, student council vice president. There were
people bringing in $20 bills and slipping them into other peoples jars. So it gets pretty fun.

antidisestablishmentarianism
By Damon Smith
Dear Community,
I am writing to share some information and ask for
your help. The governors 2015-17 budget proposal released Feb. 2, contains several provisions that are of great
concern to me in regard to the future of public education
in Cadott.
In an effort to ensure everyone is informed of the issues
that may result as a by-product of the states actions, the
district is holding a budget forum, March 12, at 6 p.m.,
in the Cadott High School auditorium.
I will present our future educational goals, potential fiscal issues, and answer questions regarding the impacts of
the state funding proposals at this time. We are not positive if any reductions will be necessary; however, we
need to inform and prepare to make these decisions if
these proposed state aid cuts are approved by the legislature.
One provision of great concern is the governors
budget proposal to non-renew $150 per student in special
per-pupil aid. This non-renewal is projected to reduce our
state aid by more than $130,000. Our district receives
nearly 69 percent of its revenue from some form of state
aid.
Three years ago we utilized the tools (reducing employee compensation and benefits) provided to the district
through Act 10, to minimize the impacts for our students
as a result of the $482.41 per student reduction in state
aid imposed in 2011-12. These tools have been used, now
we need to find other ways.
I encourage you to consider contacting your legislators
to let them know how you feel about the impact of the
proposed budget on our school district. As I speak to our
lawmakers, I am asking that there is a reasonable increase
each year in the revenue limit and state aid.
Previously, state law provided us a yearly increase over
$250 per student. While we are not asking for anything
near that, given the states current budgetary concerns,
we believe reinstating the $150 per student cut, and an
increase that is well below the Consumer Price Index
(1.63 percent), of only $100 per student in state aid, is a
reasonable and responsible way to provide the best quality education to our students, and best return on investment for Cadott community taxpayers.
We constantly seek continuous improvement in our
schools, and will refuse to settle until we become the
best district our size in the state, and your advocacy
now will demonstrate this tenacity to become the best.
Please come to the budget forum to learn more about
the districts future direction and state imposed reductions.

NHS hosts blood drive

ships. The NHS already held one drive in August, collecting
39 pints toward the 101.
I have never gotten to 101, said Ruhde. We are always
between 90 and 100 pints. This year we will be about 10 short
with the people already signed up.
According to the Blood Center of Wisconsin (BCW), every
day, patients in more than 50 hospitals in the state need nearly
800 units (or about two cups) of blood. Once a person donates, the blood is tested by the FDA, and undergoes several
procedures before it can be deemed donatable.
Ruhde says the blood donated from the NHS drives is
taken to St. Paul for processing, then distributed back to area
hospitals.
If the OK is given (meaning no infectious diseases), the
blood is separated into three components red cells, platelets
and plasma to be used for specific needs, including, but not
limited to, accident victims, cancer patients and those undergoing surgery.
The BCW says red cells can be stored for up to 42 days at
42.8 degrees, while platelets are stored at room temperature
for only five days. Plasma is frozen and stored for up to a
year.
But donating a pint wont just save one life, it could save
up to three lives, according to the American Red Cross. And
with less than 38 percent of the United States population eligible to give blood, and 5 million patients needing blood
every year, nows the time to give.
Due to the cold weather there is a real shortage right now
for blood, says Ruhde.
And donating isnt just for the community, students who
donate four times in high school are given a red cord to wear
at graduation. Ruhde also says those who work at drives four
times are also given the cords. While students wont help by
drawing blood, they will provide and serve refreshments and
baked goods for donors.
If you are interested in donating a vial or two (maybe just
a pint), call 715-595-4241, ext. 268, to set up an appointment.

A beginning and an end for Cadott state wrestlers

By Kayla Peche
Two Cadott Hornet wrestlers left for state competition Feb.
26, one attending for the first time, and the other ending his high
school wrestling career on the podium.
At 113 pounds, freshman Andrew Gunderson qualified for
state after taking second place Feb. 14, at the regional meet
in Boyceville.
Andrew Gunderson ended his season on a high note by

qualifying for his first state tournament,
said Josh Spaeth, Cadott head coach. He
now has a chance to become the fifth
wrestler in school history to be a four time
state qualifier.
The only other Cadott wrestlers to
achieve this were Russ Peloquin, Shawn
Spaeth, Jeremiah Burish and Greg Sonnentag.
It was a great experience, said Gunderson. The atmosphere was different
because everyone that was there earned it
and worked hard. It is probably the best
feeling to make it to state.
As the battles began Feb. 26, Gunderson and his teammate, senior Austin Najbrt, won their matches to advance to state
quarterfinals Feb. 27, the following day.
Gunderson won the preliminary round
by a decision over Zachary Foth, of Laconia, but then dropped two matches to
Stratfords Jeremy Schoenherr and Kewaunees Jesse Steinhorst, ending his
2014-15 season.
Nice job Andrew, said Spaeth. We
are excited to watch you improve and become a leader in our wrestling room.
For Najbrt, this wasnt his first time in the state tournament.
Najbrt qualified for state his sophomore, junior and senior year.
Last season, he finished sixth at the state, and was determined
to do better this time.
Spaeth says Najbrt has had a tremendous wrestling career,
being the sixth wrester in Cadott to qualify three times. He said
only himself, John Burns, Adam Blanchette, Jake Arneson and
Roy Munroe have accomplished this.
Austin continued to get better throughout his wrestling career
by working hard and being determined, said Spaeth. The
coaches and Ihad a great time working with him.
Najbrt finished in fourth place at state in Division 3 at 126
pounds, and ends his high school career with 136 wins for the
Hornets.
I could not have done it without my fans and my coaches,
Najbrt said on his Facebook page. I had a lot of fun over the
years. It really flew by. Im going to miss it.
On his way to fourth place, he defeated Justin Tollefson, of
Fennimore, and Ross Ellison, of Oakfield, to advance to the state
semifinals.
During the semifinals, he lost a match to eventual state champion Mason Kauffman from Stratford. Spaeth says Najbrt
quickly rebounded with a 2-1 victory over Elton Kelsey, from
Oconto, to advance to the third place match.
In the third place match, Najbrt lost to Cal Hansen, from Deerfield, by a score of 3-5.
We are extremely proud of him, said Spaeth. And wish him
the best of luck in his future endeavors.

Chieftains keep up intensity for regional playoffs

By Kayla Peche
The Lake Holcombe Chieftains came out to fight against
the New Auburn Trojans, Feb. 26. Dave Engel, Lake Holcombe boys head coach, says he hopes they continue this momentum for the regional opener against Thorp.
This is a playoff game atmosphere, Engel said. Thats
what you take from it, the intensity.
The Chieftains fell behind early by six points in the first
quarter of the game, but Engel said they fought hard.
With sophomore Jeremiah Reedy out with an injury, Lake
Holcombe struggled defensively, but freshman Trent Novak
and sophomore Reece Kinney stepped up their play.
Hes a heck of a baller, but hes young, Engel said of
Novak. Reece Kinney is just 100 percent heart. Theyre both
able to pick it up a notch, but its hard to replace a 6-foot-6

guy inside.
The Trojans scoring power was too much for Lake Holcombe, and New Auburn took the win, 75-54, securing their
place as the East Lakeland Conference Champions with an
11-1 conference record.
Junior Nick Seng dominated the basket for the Chieftains
with 15 points. Following were Novak with 13 points, making four 3-pointers, and Kinney with eight. Senior John Stender Jr. scored seven, senior Jay Kent had six and junior
William Hattamer had five to round out Lake Holcombes
scores.
The Chieftains placed third in conference, and earned a
No. 4 seed for the WIAA Division 5 postseason with their 84 conference record.
Engel says his team will use the intensity they had this
game in the playoffs.
Were looking to get our first playoff win in nine years,
Engel said. This is the atmosphere that I was looking for.
Its definitely something we can build off of for Tuesday.

During a Feb. 26 Cloverbelt Crossover matchup, the Hornets dominated offensively to secure the victory over Colby,
62-43.
We had a nice win vs. Colby, said Brandon Mittermeyer,
Cadott boys basketball head coach, Especially considering
we were dealing with some illness.
Mittermeyer said senior Ezra Michael was not able to play,
so some of the other players had to pick up the slack.
Picking up that slack was senior Ben Kyes, who made four
of his teams seven 3-pointers as the Hornets outscored
Colby, 33-23, in the first half.
Adding to Kyes 24 points, seniors Brett McChesney
scored 17 points and Kaeden Thom added 12 in the win.
Mittermeyer says Thom has been stepping up a lot lately,
and he is excited to see how this translates going into playoffs.

Cadott played at Osseo-Fairchild March 3, for the opening
round of the WIAA Division 4 playoffs. Before the game,
Mittermeyer said he thinks the team is prepared for playoffs,
but that it wont be easy.
We will see Osseo-Fairchild in the first round, who we
split with during the season, he said. Unfortunately, we will
be traveling to their gym where it is very difficult to play.
He was also concerned with the Thunders shooting guard,
Kyle Hagen, and a strong post presence from Parker
Rongstad, each All-Conference selections.
If we can keep them contained defensively, we will be
competitive in the game, Mittermeyer said. But it will not
be an easy task.

Cornell archers capture

second place rankings
By Ginna Young
The Cornell Archery team took home second place honors
at a tournament in Stratford Feb. 28. Out of the 20 schools
participating, Marshfield captured the first place spot, and
Osseo-Fairchild finished third on the day.
This is a very positive, motivated and fun team to coach,
said Carol Hakes, Cornell archery coach. They have set
goals for themselves as individual archers, as well as a team.
Cornell senior McKenzie Hall took home the top spot,
placing first in her division; sophomore Abby Klein ranked
third for girls in her grade; Kaylie Walters finished fourth out
of 21 in the seventh grade; and eighth grader Anna Hillebrand placed fifth out of 30 in her division.
On the boys side for Cornell, Kenny Klein garnered a score
of 277 to take second place in the boys eighth grade ranking;
Sam Larson finished fourth in the eighth grade; and senior
Weston Sinn ranked fourth.
The most improved archers are Jacob Hall, who beat his
first tournament score by 23 points, followed by McKenzie
Hall, beating her previous score by 22 points.
The kids also took part in 3-D shoots and flying disc shoots
at the Stratford tournament, where Jacob Hall won second
place at the 3-D shoot.
Hakes says the teams goal is to be a National Qualifying
Archery Team, which would earn them the chance to compete in Louisville, Ky., in May.
The team would like to express their gratitude toward the
school administration that has supported their efforts, said
Hakes, along with their families and the community.

The Cornell Chiefs Girls Basketball team took on the No.
2 Owen-Withee Blackhawks Feb. 24, for round one of the
WIAA regional tournament.
The Chiefs were ranked No. 7 in Division 5, so going in
the team knew the battle would be tough.
We came out strong, said Jane Hickethier, senior player.
I think we really put up a fight and the scoreboard showed
that after the first quarter.
Owen-Withee picked up momentum after the first quarter,
and started to extend their lead. Out with an injury, Chiefs
senior Makenzie Ewings says Cornell played their hardest
even though they were falling behind.
No matter what the score says I think they went out there
and did their best, Ewings said, not just for themselves, but
for each other.
In the second half, Cornell fell to the Blackhawks, 72-33,
to end the 2014-15 season for the Chiefs.
Both teams put up a good effort last night, Hickethier
said after the game. Unfortunately for us, the bad outweighed the good.
This season the girls had five seniors Ewings, Hickethier,
Kammey Kendall, Samantha Sippy and Kaitlin Peterson
who will graduate and move on this year.
Ewings says this season was fun, and the team overcame
a lot of adversity. Cornell had two main starters, junior Elizabeth Sproul and sophomore Lexi Short out for half the season, and Ewings herself was out for the last three games.
Weve had a ton of injuries, Ewings said. But with having all of the injuries, I think it pulled us girls closer together
because we had to learn to play with everyone. We ended up
being a very close group of girls.
Hickethier says she couldnt be more proud of her team,
and thanks all of them, as well as her coaches, parents and
fans, for their support of the Chiefs this season.
Without them, each and every one of them, Iwouldnt be
anywhere near where I am today, she said, both on and off
the court.

The Lake Holcombe Chieftains Girls Basketball team

Heartbreak for Hornets

By Kayla Peche
When you believe you can win, it always hurts more to
lose.
That is what Dave Hazuga, Cadott girls basketball head
coach, said after the No. 6 Cadott Hornets took on the No. 3
Augusta Beavers at the Feb. 24 regional opener.
The game was heartbreak, Hazuga said. We were playing a team that has a great record and we dont. We are a team
with a bad record, but I just always believed we could win.
In the first quarter, the Hornets fell behind the Beavers by
11 points. From there, Cadott couldnt find their defensive
rhythm, and stayed below at halftime, 39-21.
We did OK offensively, Hazuga said. We were able to
scorebut the one thing that we havent been able to get better at enough this year was our defense.
Cadott only won three games this season, but Hazuga said
the season was not about wins, but rather growth he saw in
his players.
Things that were our problems early on, like scoring and
taking care of the ball, those we did, he said. It really just
came down to we couldnt get a stop.
During the final frame, Augusta kept the baskets going
with a few scores, snatching the game to advance to round
two, 67-43.
We just couldnt stop them, Hazuga said.
This game marks the end of the Cadott girls season, and
the end of high school varsity basketball careers for three seniors Sam Rineck, Kyla Nichols and Leah Pilgrim.
Hazuga says the loss was tough on those three, but they
played together to the last seconds; becoming better players
throughout the season, and developing from last year.
My message to the seniors is its over for you guys and
Im sad and I thank you, Hazuga said. But my message to
everybody else is we are just getting started.
This is Hazugas first year with the Cadott girls team, and
he says if the team wants him back, hes sticking with them.
You couldnt tear me away.
was in store. Before the game, Jay Geist, Chieftains head

coach, said he knew they were expected to lose.
We know we lost before, but the girls are still going to
work hard, Geist said. We wont just give up.
The Falcons went undefeated in the conference this season,
ranking them No. 1 for Division 5 playoffs. The Chieftains
were at the bottom of the pack, putting them at a disadvantage.
Lake Holcombe fell behind quick in the first quarter by 18
points, and struggled to get more baskets. Flambeau defeated
the Chieftains, 81-17, to advance in the WIAA tournament.
Samantha Dixon, Lake Holcombe senior player, said it was
hard to lose the game like that.
It was very upsetting that that is how my last game ended,
but we worked hard, she said.
Dixon began playing basketball in fourth grade, and only
three of her eight classmates who started, continued to play.
I will miss playing with them so much, Dixon said.
They were a great group
of girls for my last season.
Kelley Andres and
Haylee Hennekens were
the other seniors on the
team, and Dixon says the
girls played harder than
ever.
We may not have had
many victories, but we
played every game like it
was our last, Dixon said,
and that was more than
good enough for me.
With Lake Holcombe
being a young team, Geist
says the girls will have
opportunities to improve
on this season, and come
back even stronger next
year.

Lions sponsor successful ice fishing contest

Submitted by Lion Carol Bonn
The sun was shining and the wind was cold, but devoted
fisherpeople remained on the ice until the very end of the
Lake Holcombe Lions Ice Fishing Contest Saturday, Feb. 21.
Co-chairpersons Lions Charlie and Carrie Ably said the contest, held on Big Swedes Pond north of Holcombe, was a
huge success.
Fifty-two fish were registered, however, many were released, so how many were actually caught during the three
hour contest is difficult to determine. All six categories were
filled, and the largest fish in all divisions was awarded $100.
Of the 52 registered fish, 11 were bluegills, 14 were crappies, two were perch, 17 were northerns, two were walleyes
and six were bass.
The top bluegill catch was made by Abby Bachmeier, with
a 7 1/2 incher. Connie Pederson landed the top crappie at 12
1/2 inches and Tessa Barron took honors in the perch category with an 8 3/4 incher.
An 18 7/8 inch northern was landed by Anthony Pratt and
a 13 3/4 inch walleye was caught by Tanner Scheifer. Pratt
and Scheifer split top honors in the bass category, with each
catching a 14 1/4 inch bass.
Also part of the event was the student portion of the contest, where the student who caught the largest fish (in two
groups), won money for their school.
The first group included northern, walleye and bass. Three
northerns were registered with Anthony Pratts 18 7/8 inch
fish taking first, followed by Jay Tainters 18 fish. The
Lake Holcombe School will reap the rewards of $750 and
$500 respectively. Placing third with an 18 inch northern was
Brendon Stoll, of Hayward Elementary.
In the perch, bluegill and crappie division first place went
to Brooklin Schwartz with an 11 inch crappie, garnering $750
for Parkview Elementary in Chippewa Falls. The $500 second place winner was Dakota Miller, of Flambeau, with a 10
7/8 inch crappie. Rounding out the student competition was

Ashton Pagenkopf, with a 10 3/4 inch crappie, taking $250
to Loyal Elementary.
Ticket sales winners were: Kylee Schloer, $500 from the
Ladysmith Kwik Trip; Emily Acker, Sturgeon River Outfitters; Karee Dean, 40 inch flat screen TV; Jerry Hilger, Flater
fishing trip; Karen Rios, Gladys Brock afghan; Russell Albert, Northwestern Bank fishing gear; Bev Klein and Larry
Martin, Teds Timberlodge Stay; Betty Marcott, 561 fish locater; Don Walters, Tom and Diane LaBarge $100 cash; Barb
Schmidt, CV grill; Cynthia Tarka, Ladysmith Federal $50;
Scott Alger, Dairyland State Bank $50; Sherry McMenamin
and Ed Todahl, Scotts Auto Repair; Bill Tuma, Kens Septic
Service $50; and Tom Bement, Barb Schmidt, Tim Boos,
Evan Tainter and Chris Belonge each won a $20 Big Swedes
gift certificate.
Other raffle drawings went to: Mike Gibbs, Paul Craker,
Samuel Larson, Pete Fitzl, Tammy Rasmussen and David
Ursin, Northwoods Rock Rally; Carol Bonn, Country
Fest/Rock Fest tickets; Bill Ramsier, gourmet food basket;
Grace Lemke, Crown Royal mirror; Joe Mirr, Hardgear
Alaskan Bibs; Linda Leonard, childs bear quilt; Tom Tozer,
ice auger; Stephanie Krzyzanowski, ice shack; and Tammy
Peterson, Hummingbird locator.
Raffle tickets for drawings held only the day of the contest
were sold to patrons inside the resort as well as on the ice,
and many prizes were donated by area businesses.
The Lions said the amount of prizes donated was overwhelming this year and just about everyone went home with
something, including hams and turkeys.
The Lake Holcombe seventh grade boys basketball

team was all smiles after they completed an undefeated season. In front is Will Kliegle; left to right,
in the middle, are, Tyler Dixon, Kaden Crank and

DNR Outdoor Report

Snowmobile trails remain open in the northern tier of
counties, with the best conditions in the northeast and north
central parts of the state.
Cross-country ski trail conditions remain generally unchanged, with good to very good conditions in the north, and
poor to fair conditions in the south, where the snow pack has
become harder, and more debris and bare spots are seen.
Cold temperatures have kept ice fishing activity down, despite good ice cover across much of the state.
As a reminder, the general inland game fish season has
come to an end. Panfish and catfish remain open, and game
fish remain open on certain waters.
The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore reports ice conditions on Lake Superior have improved to the point where
they tentatively plan to open the ice caves.
Deadline nears for ice

fishing shack removal
A number of deadlines for ice anglers to remove ice fishing
shelters from inland and boundary waters have already happened, and the last of those dates is nearing.
For inland Wisconsin water, ice fishing shelters must be
removed daily and, when not occupied, after the following
dates: Sunday, March 8, for waters south of Highway 64, and
Sunday, March 15, for waters north of Highway 64, along
with Lake Michigan, Superior and the bay of Green Bay.
One exception to this rule is that on the Fox River downstream from the De Pere dam in Brown County, ice fishing
shelters must always be removed from the ice daily and when
not in use.
All ice fishing shelters were already required to be removed from Iowa boundary waters by Feb. 20, set to correspond with Iowa regulations.
Deadlines for the Wisconsin/Minnesota boundary waters
was March 1, while all shacks must be removed by March
15 for Wisconsin/Michigan boundary waters.
After these dates for removing ice fishing shelters from a
frozen lake or river, an angler may continue to use a portable
shelter, but must remove it daily and when it is not occupied
or actively being used.
As the days become longer, deer are more visible feeding

in open areas at dusk. Some bucks are still seen holding
antlers, an indication that they are in good physical condition;
this is a good time for shed hunting.
Rabbit season has now ended statewide.
It may be cold and snowy now, but it is time to sign up for
sharp-tailed grouse viewing this spring at the Namekagon
Barrens Wildlife Area, a 5,050 acre property located in the
northeast corner of Burnett County. Sharp-tailed grouse
blinds provide excellent viewing of the unique sharp-tailed
grouse dance that is part of their courtship behavior.

Annual bird meeting lands on private owners
Its a Girls Hunting

Life
By: Monique Westaby
First Timer
Since I met Scott, my husband, hound hunting has
been another way of life. He bought his first two hounds
just a week or two after we started seeing each other, and
I fell in love with their long ears and loving personalities.
We tried taking the two walkers to chase coyote, but
the negative temperatures and close to -30 degree windchill deterred our ambition and we moved into the coon
hunting world.
After several years of chasing bandits in the night, we
tried our hand at bear hunting, and the warmer temperatures and daylight suited my husbands morning personality more than the midnight adventures. We had been
invited to go coyote hunting several times, but our schedules never seemed to match up.
This was going to be the year we tried coyote hunting
again, and we promised our friends wed make a trip farther south in the state to run some Wile Es. Our young
walker pup had chased a few bear this summer, but we
really wanted to get her trained on a winter sport.
And then I got pregnant.
The thought of getting up at the crack of dawn, riding
around in frigid temperatures and bouncing down the
roads 80+ miles from home sounded like a terrible idea
for a girl riddled with morning (or rather all-day) sickness.
I figured this was not going to be the year to try coyote
hunting, and I felt bad that little Grace, our pup, wouldnt
get more experience this winter.
As fate would have it, the tables turned and a close
friend of ours bought some pups to run on coyote. He had
several friends in the area who also ran coyote, and they
invited my husband and me to join in the adventure. I finally could go on a real coyote hunt, and we would only
be a dozen or so miles from home in case baby decided
he wanted to send me home.
Scott and I got up super early and headed out. After
driving up and down the roads looking for tracks, we
found a few spots with fresh yote tracks. Along with
those, we stopped for numerous deer trails, and even a
bobcat track or two.
We planned to drop on what looked to be a very promising coyote trail, but after a little more investigating and
track following, the animal had come to the fence,
crossed, and headed into a field we didnt have permission to be in.
So the guys dropped their hounds on a separate set a
few fields away and the dogs started heading toward the
highway. We drove to where they looked like they might
cross, but the dogs turned and went back into some pines.
Since Scott is the morning person, and I am a night owl,
watching the sun come up is a little too much for me, so
I put my forehead against the seat ahead of me, just to rest
my eyes, and before long, I was off to dreamland
Interested landowners can join experts from around the

state to learn more about how they can help birds in their own
backyards.
The 2015 Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative (WBCI)
annual meeting will be held March 19-21, at the Avalon
Hotel and Conference Center in Chippewa Falls.
Landowners, bird enthusiasts, land managers and conservation practitioners who are interested in conserving bird
habitats on their property are encouraged to attend.
This conference is a great way private landowners and
other citizens can get directly involved with conservation efforts and contribute to the strong legacy that exists in Wisconsin, says Tom Hauge, wildlife bureau director for the
WisDNR.
This years meeting, which is coordinated by the DNR and
other WBCI partners, recognizes the role private lands play
in providing habitat for Wisconsin birds.
Private landowners play a key role in achieving important
conservation goals in Wisconsin, says Ryan Brady, WBCI
bird monitoring coordinator. This is a great forum for those
wanting in getting involved to see what opportunities exist
for them to create habitats in their own backyard.

The conference features a full agenda of presentations and
field trips focused on forest, wetland and grassland habitats.
Fridays schedule features a general welcome session in the
morning, and guests will have the opportunity to attend one
of three specialized sessions in the afternoon.
Whether people are working with grasslands, wetlands or
a private forest, they will hear from experts on management
tools, restoration strategies and habitat improvement options
specific to their land type.
Our goal is to come up with creative approaches that combine the habitat needs of birds with the goals of landowners,
says Yoyi Steele, DNR wildlife biologist and planner.
Landowners have the ability to make a huge impact on birds
and other wildlife on their land.
The conference will wrap up with field trips Saturday
morning, where guests can see firsthand how the practices
work from other landowners.

locations and speakers.

The Cottontail Classic
Hello friends,
One of the many benefits of being the president of
KAMO, and a syndicated, outdoor adventures columnist, is
that I get to meet some really cool people and have tons of
fun with them.
I recently headed over to Denmark in Brown County,
where I hung out at the Maribel Sportsmens Club (MSC),
located in Manitowoc County, and participated in their 24th
Annual Cottontail Classic.
The Maribel Sportsmens Club started a KAMO Chapter
(kamokids.org) last summer and let me tell you, I had no
idea what I was getting into. Holy cow was I impressed by
the MSC, The Cottontail Classic and the new KAMO chapter.
George Robinson and his wife, Lynn, are very active in
the MSC. George just finished a term as president and Lynn
has been secretary for something like 25 years.
Saturday, Feb. 14 High 7, Low -12
So I get to the clubhouse last night, which is actually two
buildings, and the place is full of people registering for the
three-hunter teams, which in the end would be 183 hunters.
Rabbit hunts like this are generally won by the heaviest nine
rabbits of a three-person team, and this would be the first
time I have ever been in a competitive rabbit hunt.
The Robinsons welcomed me in their home, as they did
eight more hunters the following morning, for breakfast and
lunch.
Until this weekend, I had only met George and Lynn two
times and it would be fair to say we really did not know each
other. What an eye opener it was staying at their home. I
just got to know a man who probably hunts, fishes and lives
the life more than anyone I have ever met.
From the eight hunting dogs George and Lynn truly love,
that live right in their home,
or possibly the gazillion
outdoor oriented stories and
pictures of which many are
of waterfowl hunting at
their cabin near Wadena,
Saskatchewan,
Canada,
most importantly, I discovered how much it is a way
of life for the Robinsons to
include kids on their outdoor experiences.

This morning, the weather was brutal at 6 a.m. It was
probably -25 degrees with the windchill, and four battlehardened young hunters arrived at the Robinsons ready to
chase rabbits.
Megan Brunner, 18, and her brother, Tayten, 12, are both
from Denmark. Matt Monk, 17, and his brother, Paul, 14,
are from Manitowoc, and traveled with mentor and pal Matt
Ernst, who came from Green Bay.
These kids are active sporting clay shooters as they are
members of the Wisconsin Amateur Youth Shooting program. It was pretty cool to hear the pride in their voices when
they spoke of their accomplishments.
George runs our hunt, and his beagles, Bud, Dino, and
Frank, seek and pursue rabbits. After our first hunt, which
lasted about an hour, the kids had harvested five cottontails.
The hand I had recently reformed in a wood splitter was totally worthless, as it was numb, and the hand and fingers
would not move.
I secured a hand warmer on the top of my wrist for the
rest of the day and never had another problem (try it, it
works).
Folks, I wish I had more space to tell this great story but
to sum it up, The MSC is an incredible, get it done organization. What I saw with the Robinsons, Matt, Ernst and
many others tells me this new KAMO Chapter has the potential to be another venue for folks in this part of Wisconsin
to get their kids outside.
In other words, if you live in the Denmark area, there is
an insured club, that would like to help get your kid or neighbors kid, outside to hunt, fish, hike or whatever the two of
you choose to do. Please help them to help you!
As far as the hunt went, the beagles did an excellent job,
the kids pulled their weight
and everyone who participated is well aware that
anyone who even attempted
to hunt rabbits was either
nuts, extremely tough or
both because the weather
was absolutely brutal.
Love my job!

Lake Holcombe School gets Lucky with teaching aid
Betsy Ketterhagen, library assistant (left), rings up

a purchase from student Jenna Brosted (right) at
the Lake Holcombe School Book Fair Feb. 26. The
fair, held in conjunction with parent/teacher conferences, generated more than $1,300 in sales of
books and educational novelties. Pat Talbot, Lake
Holcombe School library media specialist, says the
elementary and high school IMCs each took their
share of fair profits in $541.63 worth of books.

Danger, Will Robinson!
Students at Lake Holcombe School may not have been in
any danger like the robot proclaimed on the 1960s Lost in
Space TV series, but at the end of February, they did see a
robot in some of the classrooms. Lucky as hes called, was
on hand to help teachers with their lesson plans, and to bring
a live video feed of a project leader into the class.
The mobile robot visited the school as part of a grant
through CESA 10 to aid teachers in visual imagery. The program, now at its one year mark at Lake Holcombe, trains
teachers and implements the professional development
methods taught over the year.
Its been a benefit to have an expert in the field to talk to
and ask if Im doing the lesson plans correctly, said Annie
Danielson, reading specialist at Lake Holcombe. Through
the program, Ive found I need to move along a little faster,
to pace myself, and to take the kids farther with their lessons.
This is going to help the students become not only better
spellers, but will help with reading and writing. As a teacher,
A large crowd gathered

at the Holcombe United
Methodist Church Sunday, Feb. 22, to help
raise funds for the Lake
Holcombe School music department. The department has a March
trip scheduled for San
Antonio, Texas, and
each students needs
$700 in order to go.

specialist (left), holds up a visual aid for second
grader Rose Wozniak (right) to memorize Feb. 25,
while adviser Miss Holly (middle) looks on through
WiFi connection in Philadelphia, Pa. Danielson is
one of four teachers at Lake Holcombe to take part
in the instructional training program, and to utilize
the on-site mobile robot to help kids create images
in spelling patterns.
its nice to have reaffirmation youre doing it correctly.
Lucky, part of the Lindamood-Bell reading comprehension program, is able to move freely through a building with
no stairs or doors. Miss Holly, Danielsons adviser, calls the
unit Skype on Wheels.
The program, which consists of follow-up workshop support, can be scaled to fit a school districts needs. Lucky can
be set up anywhere there is WiFi service, with modules
throughout the country, and in Honduras.
Instead of flying somewhere for a couple of days, I can
be at Kodiak Island, Alaska, then head to Massachusetts
and Honduras, all in the same day, said Owen Main, regional manager at Lindamood-Bell. Its much more efficient to utilize the coaching session a couple of hours a day
online, instead of being on-site. It keeps costs down; its a
win-win-win and its been really fun.

Cornell School Board
Sikora bothered by 10 block policy

By Monique Westaby
Students in the City of Cornell may no longer need to walk
uphill both ways to school, or even walk 10 blocks. After a
discussion during a regular school board meeting Feb. 23,
the Cornell School Board is considering changing Policy
7.04 Bus Routes, to increase bus service in the city.
Its a safety factor big time, said Eileen Sikora, board
clerk, reading the policys condition on students who live
north of Bridge Street.
The policy reads: Students who live in the city, on the north
side of Bridge Street, within a 10 block distance, are expected
to walk. Students who live south of Bridge Street, and those
without sidewalks, are eligible for bus transportation, as their
location includes hazardous conditions, such as the intersection of Highways 27 and 64.
That one really bothers me, Sikora said. I just dont like
that 10 block distance.
Paul Schley, superintendent, said the board can look at
shortening the distance for those on the north side of Bridge
Street. Once a shortened distance is determined, the school
would look at the impact the added students would have on
the transportation schedule, including door-to-door pickup
or pickup areas.
If you do want to go closer, do you want to have pickup
points? Schley asked. And then where would they be? So
it would probably take a little time; do some driving around
and see what you like. We can do that. Thats why you guys
write policy.
Sikora said times have changed and she wants the policy
requirement shortened. Its not like it was when I was in
school, when I could walk all the way from out by the cemetery without worrying.
The policy was issued in 1976, then updated in 1996.
Sikora says she feels strongly about the topic, and will work
with the necessary people to change it.

Do you have an idea of how far right now? asked Schley.
Just so we can get an idea to start looking?
Definitely not 10, said Sikora. I dont know about eight
neither to be truthful. Im sorry, but I wouldnt want any
childI mean, Ive got six grandkids. The oldest is eight. I
wouldnt even want him to walk six blocks by himself to be
honest with you.
If its important enough for us to educate our kids, it
should be important enough for us to keep them safe.
The policy will be placed on a future agenda once the
board decides on a distance, and how it will impact the transportation system with costs and student volume.
In his administrative report, Schley brought up the proposed state budget, which he says will lower per pupil state
aid for the district.
Theres $319.3 million that was put into the biennium
budget for education, said Schley. Its real deceiving
though. Each of the two years theres $105.6 million toward
the levy credit.
Schley says the levy credit goes through school funding,
but doesnt go to schools, but rather taxpayers.
Also, during the second year of the biennium, theres
more state aid thrown into the formula ($108.1 million), said
Schley. But theres no proposal to increase our revenue limitsif your aid goes up, your levy goes down. We get no additional money of the $108.1 million.
On a handout for board members, Schley outlined schools
in the area, showing their revenue limits. He says he has requested legislature look at these lower revenue schools for
the last 22 years, and reconsider.
If we had an extra $1,000 per student, an extra $400,000
per year for the last 22 years, I mean holy cow, Schley said,
referencing Altoonas $10,390 limit compared to Cornells
$9,163 limit. Thats the part Im trying to drive home with
them.
Just increase the revenue limit. It doesnt cost the state
more money. Yes, it would increase taxes some, but when
weve been this low for so long, dont we deserve a little
extra money?
In the proposed budget, the $150 per pupil aid would be
removed, meaning the school will get nearly $65,000 less in
revenue for the 2015-16 school year. Schley says with declining enrollment, another $137,000 would be lost, totaling
the district about $200,000 less revenue for the next school
year.
Calculating revenue decreases and expense increases, Schley says the district will be down about $400,000 next year,
if the state passes the budget. Gov. Scott Walkers 2015-17
budget is in the revision process by the legislatures finance
committee; it will then return to the Capitol where line-byline analysis will happen.
Al Knowlton took a break from cooking and serving

at the Cornell Area Fire Departments pancake feed
to have some breakfast with his family, Sara, Seth,
Amber and Johanna. The department has held the
feed since 1998, and uses the money earned toward
equipment. Items purchased this year include harnesses, ropes and lighting systems, and Denny
Klass, fire chief, says a major purchase is planned
for the near future, but did not specify what that purchase would be.
Several members of the Cornell Area Ambulance

showed their support for the fire department, including Norm Peters and his wife, Sue, at the departments pancake feed Feb. 22. The two were
served by (near to far) firefighters Chad Spegal,
Brian Stewart andMatt Boulding.
Don Schulze (far right) and Regina Tremaine (to his

right), of Holcombe, spent their Sunday morning
visiting with Clifford and Maryann Cote, also of Holcombe, at the Cornell Area Fire Department pancake feed Feb. 22. Almost 300 people attended the
breakfast, held in the Cornell High School Commons.
