Most of the kids werent even born when Cornell Elementary began the food drive 10 years ago, but Vicki
Christianson, special educationteacher, said each year students and teachers raise more donations than
the previous year for the Cornell Food Pantry. This year, the goal was to reach 1,000 items from the entire
elementary school, but the students went above and beyond, collecting 1,768 items. Since the drive
started, the elementary has donated 17,294 items for families in need.

Last year, when Damon Smith joined Cadott School District as district administrator, he brought with him the idea of
starting a Professional Learning Community (PLC)in the
district.
PLC is a group of educators that meets regularly, shares
expertise and works collaboratively to improve teaching
skills and the academic performance of students, according
to the Glossary of Education Reform.
Matthew McDonough, Cadott Jr./Sr. principal, said he first
heard of the concept at the Wisconsin Leadership Academy,
which he attended when he became principal.
I was intrigued by what Dr. Rick DuFour started at Adlai
E. Stevenson High School many years ago, said McDonough. I was especially interested in his ideas for grading
students.
McDonough says the districts goal is to get everyone on
the staff to experience PLCthrough some type of professional development. Thus far, 10 teachers went to PLCtraining in Minneapolis this past summer, others went to PLC
Boot Camp at CESA in August, and more recently, 12 teachers went to A Professional Learning Community in Motion
at Aldai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Ill., Nov.
10.
The trip consisted of teachers from elementary, junior high
and high school, who attended eight learning sessions, and a
choice between a tour of the one-million square foot school
or a curriculum team meeting. McDonough says Stevenson
High School has been working with the PLCsystem for 25
years, and it is truly the way they do business.
In session one, sustaining a rigorous curriculum for all
students, the group explained how to make sure each student
has a chance to do college level work in high school. McDonough said Cadott is already implementing this with the four
advanced placement courses and multiple transcripted credit

Thanksgiving: a time to cherish your ever-changing loved ones
Thursday, November 26, 2015

By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
Its one of the few days
I look forward to every
year. The turkey is in the
oven and makes the
house smell delicious and
cozy. The potatoes are
getting mashed and the Stove Top is awaiting the last five minutes to be quickly made
and placed on the table.
Pillsbury cans get popped open and the
can opener lies on the counter after releasing
the round, ring-laden cranberries from their
confines. The odds and ends that vary each
year get bowled and placed on the table,
which includes added leaves to accommodate everyone in the family.
At one point, everyone in the family
meant five. Now, it means eight; but thats
just one Thanksgiving. The other, my inlaws, which once held four at their table, has
quickly grown to seven; 13 if you count the
extended family who visits some years.
Once upon a time Thanksgiving was a day
for relaxing, over-loading on food, watching
football and taking naps.
Now, its a hectic day filled with bouncing
from one house to the other, keeping dogs
in-line and seeing way more people than Im
used to.
By the end of the day, my brain is fried,
my stomach is to the breaking point and Im
so worn out I can barely watch the last quarter of the game.
I wrote about these stresses in last years
Thanksgiving column, and concluded that
avoiding stress is the best, even if that
means missing some of the festivities.
This year, with dogs and a baby to keep
occupied, who knows how things will go.
And yet I still wouldnt trade it for the
world, and neither should you.
I am so thankful for my life and all its be-

On Halloween, four UW-Stout students
dressed in black face while replicating the Jamaican bobsled team in the movie, Cool
Runnings. Those students were accused of
racism, and other accusations of racial slander and prejudice came forward in full force
throughout Menomonie.
In Minnesota, an unarmed 24-year-old
African American was shot in the head (and
a few days later died) by a police officer.
Whether or not the young man was already
restrained in handcuffs, or if a weapon did or
did not need to be drawn, is still under investigation.
Were those Stout students acting in a hateful way? Did that police officer actually
shoot the man execution style?
Yes, people are going to have different
opinions, there is going to be discrimination.
But does there have to be? And does that
mean we have to constantly fight about who
is right or wrong?

Neinfeldt says she plans to implement the PLC concept
into her work as an instructor and adviser for student council.
I was intrigued about a mentor program that they were
speaking about, she said. I was also interested in their privilege system to reward kids for doing well in school. I know
we are looking into implementing a version of our own privilege system.

already in place at the school, something Pauls said wouldnt
work for the building.
Following unanimous (with one absent) board approval,
Hayden thanked the board and said he will get on it right
away.
The board also approved (although not without jokingly
questioning if they could vote against) the resignation of Lake
Holcombe Spanish teacher and high school Student Council
adviser Kate Elling, effective at the end of the 2015-16 school
year.
Life is funny. When I was attending college, the furthest thing
from my mind was a career in teaching. However, around every
corner, it seems that has been what I was meant to do, wrote
Elling in her letter.
Elling, who has taught at Lake Holcombe since 2000, says
her resignation comes in light of triplet grandchildren due next
year. So, it is time to trade in my textbooks for picture books,
and a classroom of middle and high school students for a
stroller full of babies (at least for the near future).
Other staff changes included the approval of Jim Aerts as
National Honor Society adviser, and Joy Webster as the jr. high
boys basketball coach.
In his report, Jeff Mastin, superintendent, thanked the Lake
Holcombe Education Foundation for approving four staff
grants, totaling $3,274.36:
Jane Ash $300 for Read, Read, Read, which provides
quality up-to-date books for children.
Angie Vacho $323.50 for a trip to the Chippewa Moraine
Ice Age Center that will lead to meaningful hands-on experiences related to topics in the Wisconsin history and science
curriculum.
Melissa Wojcik $1,650.86 to fill in the gaps of curriculum for fourth and fifth-grade music, and to meet the national
standards for both.
Andy Lorenzen $1,000 for the machining and metal
forming class to purchase tools and equipment for new lathes
to help get some machines to incorporate the tools used in the
industry right now.
I would like to publicly thank the Lake Holcombe Education Foundation for providing those grants, said Mastin.

Herbert Herb Peter Wriedt
Herbert Herb Peter
Wriedt, 87, Town of Arthur,
passed peacefully into eternal
life at home Tuesday, Nov. 17,
2015, under the care of his
family and Mayo Hospice.
Herbert was born Nov. 11,
1928, in the Township of
Brighton, Kenosha County, to
Charles and Luella (Jackley)
Wriedt.
He attended school at St.
Francis Xavier Catholic
Church until 14, when his father passed away in an automobile accident. At that time, he purchased his own truck and
started hauling hay to northern Wisconsin to help support his
mother and siblings.
He was later employed by Miller Brothers Trucking and
Interstate Systems. He often enjoyed telling stories of his
many adventures while on the highway. He retired from Interstate Systems in 1980.
Herbert proudly served in the Army Signal Corps from
1949-51 as a radio operator. He became an instructor with
the call letters MOS Number 3648 Signal Corps and was stationed in Georgia.
Herb purchased the North Star Bar and Pavilion in Sheldon
in 1968. It was there he met the love of his life, Harriet Haase
Moffit. They married Feb. 12, 1972.
After their marriage, Herb and Harriet moved to Muskego.
They moved to the Town of Arthur in 1980 when Herb retired
from trucking. He sold the North Star in 1984 and enjoyed
working various jobs in the Cadott area.
Herbs hobbies included woodworking, traveling, yard
work, bowling, hunting, fishing and going to the casino with
Harriet. He loved playing card games with family and
friends, and in tournaments.
His greatest joy was spending time with his wife, daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Herbert was a member of Legion Post #159-VFW Post
#6005 in Cadott.
He is survived by Harriet, his wife of 43 years; daughters,
Constance (Donald) Klass, Cornell, Deborah (Paul) Sedlacek, Town of Arthur, and Jayne (Harold) Root, Lake Hallie;
grandchildren, Chad Klass, Christal (Joseph) Szorcsik, Curtis (James Schuster) Klass, Kyle (Rachael) Klass, Kayla
(Kyle Friskie) Feichter, Corey (David Gerlach) Sedlacek,
Craig (Candace) Sedlacek, Carrie (Michael) Bowe, Jason
Root, Sara (Chris) Kavanagh and Travis (Brianna Romas)
Root; and 14 great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Charles
(Bud), Kenneth and Allen; sisters, Elizabeth and Kathleen;
in-laws, Henry and Hedwig Haase; brothers-in-law, Henry
and Harold; and great-grandson, Jacob.
A Mass of Christian burial was held Tuesday, Nov. 24, at
1 p.m., at St. Anthonys Catholic Church in Drywood, with
Father Eric Linzmaier officiating. Interment with military
honors by the Cadott American Legion and VFW was in St.
Anthonys Cemetery. Visitation was two hours prior to the
Mass at St. Anthonys Catholic Church.
The family would like to thank the staff of St. Josephs
Hospital, Mayo Luther Hospital and Mayo Hospice for helping the family care for Herb these past few weeks.

With the start of another school year came another year of
after school in Lake Holcombe; the 15th year of after school
to be specific. Andrea Smith, coordinator, says 42 kids are
enrolled this year, not including 20 middle school boys who
are being gently guided in the commons.
Theyre sitting out there doing their homework rather than
wandering aimlessly, said Smith. Its been a gift. Its really
been nice that theyre settled and their manners are shining.
Average nightly attendance is 36 kids for the program,
which is up by about a dozen from last year. The children are
split into three groups by grade, and led by three adult employees, two high school helpers and high school/adult volunteers.
Its going very strongly, said Smith. Thirty-five possible
days so far and most of the kids have attended 35 days.
Those who attended 30 days or more received a T-shirt at
a family night Nov. 19, which Smith said was an incentive
to keep the kids coming. The shirts featured Project
S.O.A.R. on the front, a grant Smith applied for last year to
help with after school attendance incentives.
Smith says the program has a strong relationship with five
partners that come on a regular basis BoyScouts, leadership skills; UW-Extension 4-H, Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) activities; UW-Extension
Nutrition Program; CESA, virtual field trips (such as to the
football hall of fame); and UW-Blugold Beginnings, LEGO
Robotics.
Tracy Geist, parent, said her daughter, Jena, likes after
school so much that she
asked to stay the entire time,
instead of getting picked up
early. I know that they are
having a blast.
I think the word is kind
of spreading that there are
these really cool things
happening in after school
and the interest is building, says Smith. Our
numbers are increasing.

A Snapshow - Day 1
This years 10-day deer season
kicked off a little cooler than normal, but with no snow on the ground like last year.
I wasnt sure how opening morning would go, since my son,
Chase, was on a sleep schedule that didnt wake him up until
around 6:30 or 7. That was a little past daylight, so I planned to
get him out of bed early, hoping he wouldnt be too cranky.
To my surprise, 4:30 rolled around and just as my husbands
alarm went off, Chase woke up and was bright-eyed and bushytailed. He ate, I got him packed up and shipped him off with dad
for grandma and grandpas.
I was to my stand just before season opened, and not long
after, I was bored. My attention span is pretty short, so sitting in
a stand all day (at least until 9) seems like F-O-R-E-V-E-R.
My phone sat charged in my pocket and I reached in and
pulled it out. Nothing interesting on Facebook. Nobody had text
me. Nothing exciting onSnapchat.
Even more bored, I looked around and saw nothing.
Hmmm, I thought, looking back at my phone. If theres nothing interesting happening Ill make something interesting.
I had already taken a snapshot of myself in blaze orange that
said Happy Hunting, along with another that said the time and
officially open. The next was of a quizzical expression that
said I had already heard gunshots.
From there, the story took off and before I knew it, I had
dozens of snaps featuring a squirrel with antlers, cold cheeks
and photos of the woods that said there is not a deer here, or
here.
Just as I finished taking the third or here, I saw movement
out of the corner of my eye. I turned just in time to see a big
brown deer butt walk into the woods.
Oops. Maybe I should pay attention.
I put my phone back in my pocket, after taking just one more
photo that said, There was a deer here, with a sad face.
Several moments later my phone vibrated in my pocket for a
message that said, I am loving your snap story.
Well I couldnt let my followers down now. I saw another deer
and posted the photo. Just as I was about to post one more photo,
a heard a crunch and saw antlers coming toward me.
They were just on the other side of the fence and I watched
the deer correction, antlers
jump across to our side. I
stuck my phone in my pocket
and drew my 7mm 08 (that I
had won at a turkey hunting
banquet) to my shoulder and
looked through the scope,
waiting for this monster to
walk into my shooting lane

ethier. Even though you treat it, does the appearance of the
tree change? It stays green and everything?
The initial treatment of trees on the save list is roughly
$8,000, and lasts about two years.
It is expensive, but the price is coming down, said Tuttle. And its super effective. Some cities have had a lot of
luck with homeowners wanting to foot part of the bill to
save their trees, so that might be something to look at.
Tuttle said while the chemical wont repair damage to an
already infected tree, it will stop the EAB causing more
damage. And, if a tree has a preventative treatment, the insect will pass it by altogether. Because the chemical requires a pesticide applicators license, the city would need
to contract treatment.
With the management plan in place, when city crews
prune or remove a tree, the information can be entered in
the county Geographic Information System (GIS) to keep
records up-to-date.
Because there are so many ash trees in the city and the
treatment needs to be reapplied every few years to be effective, Tuttle recommends the ash population gradually be
weeded out altogther. The treatment doesnt need to be applied until the EAB has been confirmed within a 15-mile
radius of the city.
As part of the management plan, Tuttle listed oak, elm,
locust, choke cherry, horse chestnut, tree lilac and crabapple
for replanting, and said she hopes the city will jump on
board with replanting boulevards.
You have very nice tree-lined streets right now and we
want to keep that, said Tuttle. It was really nice working
here.

education teacher. We could not have achieved our goal without you.
Two teams (one class from each grade for a Blue Team, and
the other class for a Gold Team) were created for a basketball
tournament. Classroom teachers, specialists, janitors, cooks,
aides and office staff were also assigned to the teams.
Throughout the two weeks, food items were brought in every
day and tallied, and teams earned one point for each item
brought. Scores were posted on a basketball scoreboard each
day so students could track each teams progress.
This school year, a school-wide goal of 1,000 items was set.
An all-school assembly was held the final day and classes
brought their food to the gym. The Gold Team won with 930
items, while the Blue Team had 838 items. But the real winner
was the Cornell Food Pantry, because the Cornell Elementary
School collected 1,768 food items for them.
Dan Gilboy, of the Cornell-Lake Holcombe Food Pantry,
thanked the students and explained how they serve the community, helping over 60 families per week from the pantry in
Cornell.
To celebrate their success, teachers from each team participated in a free throw competition. Each teacher had 30 seconds
to make as many free throws as possible, and this time, the
Blue Team defeated the Gold Team, 36-33.
Many of our classes have been learning about good citizenship, said Christianson. Part of being a good citizen of
Cornell is to find ways to help people in our community. The
Elementary Food Drive is a wonderful experience for the kids
to do something to help others.
The children can all be proud of the success of their service
project. They have helped many families in our community.
Over the last 10 years, students and staff have donated
17,294 food items to Cornell-Lake Holcombe Food Pantry.

Potaczek building

The restaurant between Holcombe and Ladysmith might look the same from the outside, but with a new
name, Johnsons Crossing is bringing a new family legacy and atmosphere to what was known as Iron
Horse. Andrew Johnson, cook and part-owner, says his family hopes the restaurant is around for many
years to come.

By Ginna Young
While Al and Sue Potaczek, Cornell, were hoping to get
the ball rolling to begin construction on a new building for a
business, plans have been put on hold. After purchasing the
land on the corner of Highway 64 and CC from the state earlier this year, the Potaczeks requested the Cornell City Council zone the parcel B-1 Business District.
The couple intends to construct a 20x30 foot building with
a full front porch to sell handmade craft items, old farm/horse
implements, campfire wood and possibly bait.
Wed like to put up a small, very nice, very neat, brand
new building, said A. Potaczek. We dont want to upset nobody, wed be very happy to have a business there and work
with the City of Cornell.
While mayor/planning commission member Judy Talbot
said at a meeting Nov. 18 that the city is fully supportive of
new businesses, not everyone feels the new venture is a good
idea, as evidenced by a letter from neighboring property
owner James Henrickson. In his letter to the planning commission, Henrickson said he did not think old pieces of equipment would add to the looks of the residential area and would
be an eyesore.
Bonnie Selmer, neighbor to the property, also expressed
verbal concerns over the appearance of the new business.
A. Potaczek said there wouldnt be large items for sale,
only small antique wheels and tools, and said the property
would be kept clean. I want to make it so youre proud of
it, said A. Potaczek.
I dont have any problem with a gift shop at all, we just
dont want to see implements all over the land, said Selmer.
Properties around the triangle of land are currently zoned
agricultural, and by zoning it B-1, it could be considered spot
zoning with no other businesses surrounding it, something
Talbot said the state frowns on.
If the commission recommended zoning it residential, that
would prevent the Potaczeks from constructing and operating
a business there. To that, Talbot said agricultural zoning
would be the most ideal.
If it does get zoned agricultural, then you would apply to
the Board of Zoning Appeals for a Conditional Use Permit
for use of the agricultural property to put your building on,
said Talbot. That would ensure that were not doing spot
zoning or getting into any trouble with that.
Planning commission members Terry Smith and John
Smith said they thought the agricultural zoning was the way
to go so the Potaczeks could apply for a Conditional Use Permit.
Unfortunately for the couple, the planning commission did
not have a quorum that night and was unable to make a recommendation for zoning to the council. Another planning
commission meeting is set
for Wednesday, Dec. 2, at 6
p.m., with a public hearing
scheduled for Thursday, Dec.
17, prior to the regular council meeting.
