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.

One-vehicle fatal crash still under investigation


A 54-year-old rural Cornell woman is dead after a one-vehicle crash in the township of Goetz, just south of 135th Avenue on State Highway 27.

Well, Good Saint Nick reads the Courier

causing extensive damage to the vehicle, says Starck in the
release. The vehicle came to a final rest in a field on the east
side of State Highway 27.
Schwartz was pronounced dead at the scene by the
Chippewa County Coroner, and Starck says any other information, such as the cause of the accident, is still under investigation pending an autopsy.

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

Lake Holcombe School Board

School closes up welding shop for efficiency


By Monique Westaby
From building changes to staff changes to grants, there was
a hodgepodge of topics to discuss at the regular Lake Holcombe School Board meeting Nov. 16, starting with a maintenance update from Tom Hayden, head of maintenance.
Were working on the welding shop, said Hayden. Little
by little we built separate stations for the kids to work in. Next,
well do some painting, some hangers for the welders, actually
racks for the welders to come in and out so we can clean up.
Because of the added use of the welding room in recent
years, Hayden also proposed closing up the shop area, and
changing air ventilation to something more efficient and ecofriendly.
When the welding shop is doing anything if theyre
grinding, painting, welding, whatever theyre doing the
whole school gets affected by that, says Hayden. We need
to close up the welding shop so its a separate unit of itself. So
when you turn on that exhaust system, it doesnt pull it through

the whole building.


The new system is intended to pull the exhaust out of the
building, and draw new, heated air back in.
It will be nice, fresh air in the building, said Hayden, who
mentioned the current system isnt up to code for drawing exhaust out. Way, way more efficient than its ever been.
After receiving quotes, the board chose to go with the
Bartingale Mechanical Inc. proposal for $37,668, which came
in nearly $20,000 less than a proposal from Pauls Sheet Metal
& Roofing Inc. Hayden said he also prefers Bartingales effort
put into the project and their service.
Bartingale Mechanical works with the school, we have a
contract with them, said Hayden. I checked with Rice Lake
on the last one (Pauls) did, and Rice Lake is not happy with
their system.
Hayden explained that Bartingales proposal also includes
installing a ventilation unit that will work with the wood boiler

Thanksgiving: a time to cherish your ever-changing loved ones

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-

come. Im sure, like everyone, I still let


stress get to me and take moments for
granted, but being aware of that is something I pride myself on. I cherish every moment I can, and although I dont say it as
much as I should, I am thankful for everyone in my life, even if they raise my blood
pressure at times.
Life is a precious, fleeting moment, and
for some its even more fleeting than we
could have ever imagined. Ive seen friends
and family lose battles with cancer, have
tragic accidents and give in to the pressures
of life. I know mothers and fathers who have

theyre four months old and trying to say


their first word.
Holidays can be busy, stressful and unrelaxing, but be thankful for every moment
spent with friends and family. Next year,
that baby will be older and those snuggles
will be gone. Next year, your sibling may
have moved to a different state. Next year,
a friend or family member may no longer be
around.
Thanksgiving is for giving thanks. Take
that time to cherish and thank those who
have been placed in your life; next year, they
might not be there.

Are you thankful to be an American?

In a world where conservative and liberal
views differ so much that
debates break out over a
Starbucks cup, a world
where states are going
against the presidents
views by demanding borders be closed to
refugees, it is almost ironic that Thanksgiving is in the midst.
As history shows, in 1863, four months
after the victory at Gettysburg, Pres. Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday in
November to be Thanksgiving Day a day
of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year.
The American Civil Wars root causes
were slavery, sectionalism and states rights;
it was a separation of our country as a

These tragic wars, or acts of demolition,

some far away land, these are in places right
next door.
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?
As Martin Luther King Jr. said, Darkness
cannot drive out darkness; only light can do
that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love
can do that.
In a video by history.com, magazine journalist Sarah Josepha Hale campaigned to establish a national Thanksgiving Day from the
1830s-50s. The video states, she passionately believed that such a day would help
unite a nation headed toward civil war.
Over 150 years ago, the United States

needed Thanksgiving to unify the people and


now, it has come back around.
Many people give thanks on Thanksgiving
for what they have been given the past year.
Giving thanks for family and friends are definitely worth it, but have you ever given
thanks for our government? When will we
give thanks for the political happenings in
the world?
After earning freedom and independence
from Great Britain, Americans used Thanksgiving to give thanks for those who put their
lives on the line for Americafor our freedom.
As the political campaigns rage on, all the
way up to the 2016 November Presidential
Election, will we ever just come together?
On Thanksgiving, families who may not
see each other all year come together. Maybe
Uncle Billy Bob dislikes his brother-in-law,
but they will sit there and share a delicious
turkey.
Do you think Donald Trump and Hilary
Clinton could get along over some green
beans?
With our world under terrorist attacks and
discrimination of religion, race and class all
around us, can we all, for just one day, say
thanks for what we have and stop fighting?
For one day, try to use Thanksgiving as a
way to settle the differences, to accept and
forgive those who have wronged you, and be
the bigger, better person. If more people did
that, maybe our world wouldnt be in shambles.
Maybe we can come out of this chaos
being thankful to be an American, and spread
love instead of hate.

Safety first, fun second this gift-giving season


Submitted by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture,
Trade and Consumer Protection
Each year there are toys that every child wants and every
shopper is clamoring to get. But even the most popular toy
may not be appropriate for the intended child, or safe for other
children in the home.
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) asks consumers to think about the
safety of each potential gift before purchasing it.
There is an excitement that comes with getting your hands
on the hottest toys during the holiday shopping season, but that
feeling should not trump the question of whether a toy is right
for the recipient, said Michelle Reinen, director of the Bureau
of Consumer Protection. The childs age and development,
along with the age of other children in the house, needs to be
considered when judging if a toy is the right choice this year.
When circling the store aisles or shopping online, look for
these labels on toy packaging or product page:
General warning labels listing the potential for small parts,
magnets and suffocation hazards.
Age grading: use the manufacturers suggested age range
as a foundation for whether a toy is appropriate for the physical
and mental skills of a child.
ASTM F963: this indicates a toy meets the latest safety
standards as required by law.
ASTM D4236: this indicates art materials have been reviewed by a toxicologist and are labeled with cautionary information, if necessary.
Flame resistant: this means a material will resist burning
and should extinguish quickly.
Other things to think about when shopping for children:
For homes with younger children, avoid toys with small
parts, magnets, cords or strings. Choose gifts that are age and

skill appropriate. Check for recalled toys at CPSC.gov.


Watch out for button batteries coin-sized (or smaller)
batteries that are used in products like toys, remote controls,
flashlights and hearing aids. Never let a child play with these
batteries as they pose a choking hazard and can cause serious
internal chemical burns in as little as two hours. Make sure any
toys that use these batteries have a screw to secure the battery
compartment.
Watch out for gifts containing high-powered magnets. These
small rare earth magnets can be swallowed and attract one
another in the intestinal tract, requiring surgical removal. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, some
high-powered magnet sets were responsible for the death of a
16-month-old girl, and an estimated 2,900 emergency roomtreated injuries between 2009 and 2013, which were banned
nationwide since late 2014.
Avoid no-name products. A manufacturers name and address is not a guarantee of safety, but it means you can track a
legitimate company to remedy problems.
Pick up any safety items that go along with a toy, such as a
helmet for a bike or scooter, and look for hidden dangers such
as sharp points, loud noises, projectiles or splinters.
If purchasing used toys, skip ones with chipped paint to
avoid possible exposure to lead.
And safety concerns dont end at the register. After gifts are
unwrapped, immediately gather and remove plastic wrapping,
twist ties, zip ties, clamshell containers and other potentially
dangerous packaging materials.
Be mindful of younger children and keep small or pointed
toys and accessories out of their reach. Lastly, make sure to
read any battery charging instructions that come with toys as
chargers and adapters can overheat and pose burn hazards to
young children.

courses. The other sessions were on how to respond when
students dont learn, thinking positive, not being punitive, a
freshman mentoring program, teacher leadership and grading
for learning.
Alisha Neinfeldt, high school social studies teacher, attended the PLCin Motion, and said she enjoyed hearing
about how the school runs on a daily basis.
This building was amazing, Neinfeldt said. And the students were so proud of their school. It makes me want to keep
working toward building and improving on our positive atmosphere and spirit.
McDonough said Cadott teachers attending the workshops
are a mixture of new and more established teachers, some of
whom bought into the concept and some who did not. He said
the administration plans to meet with each individual to get
their thoughts on what the district is doing well, what they
need to work on, and what they need to start or stop doing.
Our goal is to get all staff on the bus and in the right

Neinfeldt says she plans to implement the PLC concept

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.

Tis the season to party and shop till you drop, and people
can do just that Saturday, Dec. 5, in Cornell and Holcombe.
The holiday season kicks off with the annual Kids Community Christmas Party, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., at the Cornell
High School. Kids, and adults, can expect a visit from Santa
and Smokey Bear, as well as a free lunch, games, crafts and
a toy giveaway.
In addition, Kathy Goltz Photography will be on hand for
family photos, along with face painting, games, a DJ and
more.
New this year, the Otter Creek Ramblers 4-H Club is in
charge of crafts and will help kids make reindeer out of
empty tissue rolls.
Were recycling, said organizer Jackie Russell with a
laugh. Who knows, they might even make some elves out
of them. Youll have to wait and see.
The event, sponsored by the Cornell Lions Club, the Cornell Area Betterment Association and area businesses, is open
to Cornell residents and the surrounding communities. Last

Abbotsford holds 45th holiday parade Dec. 5


When most people remember their favorite parade, it is
usually associated with Walt Disney or Macys. When people
in Central Wisconsin want to see a parade, they head to Abbotsford, the small city of 2,300 people that has been entertaining parade goers for 44 years.
Planning goes on all year for the Abbotsford Christmas Parade, and over the past year, old floats have been spruced up,
new ones have been made and many costumed characters are
added to the lineup.
This year, the 45th Annual Abbotsford Christmas Parade
will kick off at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5. The event is always held the first Saturday in December, and has never been
cancelled because of cold weather or snow. Over 450 people
are needed to fill costumes, push and pull floats, control

crowds and work behind the scenes. Thousands of spectators


line the street, dressed warmly, to watch the parade magic.
Unlike most parades, there is no advertising allowed in the
parade. Local businesses show support by donating raffle
prizes, sponsoring advertising and selling raffle tickets. Each
year, funds are raised through the raffle to make new floats
and costumes, and pay parade expenses. All labor is donated.
The grand prize is a Kalahari Resort vacation and cash, a
$1,500 value. Other prizes include a grill, chest freezer with
$500 worth of meat, a John Deere toy gater, snowblower, gas
cards, computer tablets, gift cards and toys. Raffle tickets are
available along the parade route from 6:30 p.m., until the parade starts. The drawing is held immediately following the
parade on Main Street.
Over the years the parade has grown from Santa, Rudolph
and Frosty the Snowman arriving on a fire truck the first year,
to 45 floats and over 250 costumed characters. The floats are
mostly self-propelled and lit with thousands of lights. The
new float this year is the Spongebob boat, complete with
Spongebob and Patrick. New movie characters have been
completed and will join old favorite storybook, cartoon and
fantasy friends who have joined the parade through the years.
If you are coming from a distance to see the parade, two
local motels, The Rodeway and Abby Inn, offer a 25 percent
room discount certificate to those taking the free shuttle bus
from the Rodeway Inn and East Town Mall to the parade
route.
There will be a Lions Club soup and chili feed Saturday,
from 10 a.m.-6:30 p.m., and a home-based business Shops
on Candy Cane Lane from 8:30 a.m.-2 p.m., both at East
Town Mall.
Santa will make a stop at Nicolet Bank in downtown Abbotsford from 4:30-6:30 p.m., before he leaves to get his reindeer and sleigh ready for the parade.
For more information on the parade, contact parade chairman Kris OLeary at 715-223-2342 (krisoleary@centralwinews.com), or the Abby/Colby Crossings Chamber of
Commerce at abbycolbyareachamber.org.

year, organizers saw 600 people attend and expect at least


400 kids this time around.
It gets bigger and better every year, said Russell. Come
and get your Christmas spirit on.
After the party is over, people can get a jump on their gift
shopping at the Holiday Marketplace, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m., at
the Lake Holcombe School. The event features vendors with
hand-crafted items such as wooden bowls, pottery, jewelry,
porch pots and holiday items.
A few of them leave, a few new ones come in, said coordinator Barb Van Doorn. This year, a gentleman is bringing in an engraving machine and hell take orders for
engraving glass or woodburning signs. Its something unique
we didnt have before. It should be fun.
Theres also a cookie walk scheduled for 11 a.m., pictures
with Frosty the Snowman, soup, cinnamon rolls and coffee.
Theres a lot going on that weekend at Cornell and Ladysmith, said Van Doorn. Were right on the way. Stop and
spend an hour or two here; you wont be disappointed.

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

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.

Holcombe Happenings
By Janice Craig 715-595-4380
Fifteen Holcombe Helping Hands Club members gathered at the Holcombe United Methodist Church Thursday
to distribute quilts, pillows and teddy bears made throughout the year to organizations in Chippewa County. About
three carloads of items will bless many children throughout
the area.
Ginna Young, from the Courier Sentinel, took pictures of
the display of donation items, which is much appreciated.
The club also donated two gift certificates to a family for
Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas. Christmas cards will
be mailed to people who could use encouragement during
this time.
Ernie Hetke, Cornell, visited at the Oakley and Janice
Craig home Thursday morning.
East Bay has opened its doors again in a limited way, as
there are renovations still to be completed.
I pray everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving. Dont forget
to ask God to bless the hands that prepared the meal and
thank Him for providing the items that make up the meal.

Sheldon boys hard work pays off to reach Worlds


There is no doubt these boys will be back in Texas next
fall, Karin Page, Mounted Shooters of America CEO,
2014
Those words about brothers Reece and Kaden Kinney
proved to be prophetic, as they qualified for the MSA Worlds
Championship for the second year in a row. The local boys
from Sheldon work throughout the year training, caring for
and competing with their horses, and their efforts came to
fruition.
During Worlds, 14-year-old Kaden placed first in the Extreme Qualifier Pistol, Shotgun and Rifle Event and is also
the MSA Overall World Champion in Shotgun and Rifle. In
the main match, he placed first in his non-pro class, placed

third in 1D and is the mens Reserve Overall Pistol World


Champion.
Kaden then competed at the Cowboy Mounted Shooters of
America Worlds with about 350 riders in the main event. The
youth made it to the final 10 in rifle, placed first in the Rifle
Limited and first in mens AQHA Youth Pistol.
Its been an awesome experience traveling, meeting new
people, and learning a lot about doing things on my own and
taking responsibility, said Kaden. This sport is the most fun
thing I have ever done, and I owe it to the community and
my parents for letting me follow my dreams and achieve
world titles.
Seventeen-year-old Reece became the Extreme Qualifier
Pistol Reserve Champion for non-pro division, Reserve Rifle
Champion Limited and MSA Overall World Reserve Rifle
Champion. He also placed fourth in shotgun and placed third
in the 2D.
Kaden and I work very hard to have achieved all that we
have, and I have greatly enjoyed traveling around and making
new friends everywhere I go, said Reece. The friendly atmosphere is what really makes it fun for me; everybody
wants to help everyone no matter what the competition level.
I want to thank my community and parents for supporting me

Reece Kinney, 17, and his brother, Kaden, 14, share
in the Mounted Shooters of America competitions
which take them across the country. The Sheldon
boys make it a family affair, as their father, Reece
Sr., also competes in the shooting events.

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.

Hornets challenged to be more physical


By Kayla Peche
Winter sports are upon us, starting with the Cadott Hornets
Girls Basketball teams first game of the season Nov. 19,
against the Augusta Beavers.
The game was very competitive, said Dave Hazuga,
Cadott head coach. Our challenge now is to be more physical
at the basket in order to get those wins.
The Hornets started on top with an 8-0 lead, but by halftime
were down by five points. Hazuga said the girls kept it close
during the entire game, with seniors Elizabeth Kyes and
Chelsey Goettl leading the charge.
Kyes scored 18 points to lead Cadott, despite recovering
from a sprained ankle she received during cross country.
She hasnt been able to practice that much, said Hazuga.
So even though she scored 18, shes not moving as well yet.
But she still managed to score those points, which is impressive.
Kyes says Thanksgiving break will give her ankle time to
heal, so it can be ready for upcoming games.
I didnt really think about it much during the game, she

said. Ijust focus on playing my game. We have a long season


ahead and I think my team is going to surprise a lot of people.
Goettl is a new addition to Hazugas team this year, but he
says theres potential for her to be an outstanding leader, as
she scored eight points with eight assists and four steals for
the night.
She really ran the show and played great, he said.
The Hornets started the second half behind, and couldnt
catch Augusta, even with five points from senior Charlene
Holte and four three-pointers from sophomore Alexis Kramer.
Hazuga said Kramer played a lot of time as a freshman last
year and became their outside shooter, now he says she is
more comfortable and really spaces the floor.
The Hornets lost to the Beavers, 70-59, but Hazuga says
the team will continue to work on their weaknesses.
We dont get enough inside baskets,he said. We have
better ball handling and shooting, so we just have to get more
baskets inside.
Cadott will have a break until Dec. 3, when they play their
first home game, against Osseo-Fairchild.

Cornells first game causes adjustments


By Kayla Peche
With new 18-minute halves for basketball, head girls coach
Marcus Leland says Cornell will take some time to adjust,
while also adjusting to a limited number of players this season.
The Chiefs lost five seniors last year, putting them at an
11-player varsity squad with no JV team, but Leland says the
girls will continue to improve daily.
Being that we are not a very deep team, we need to continue to work on our conditioning, he said. At times last
night we had some very good spurts where we did things the
way we are supposed to, and then we had other times where
we didnt.
The girls played the non-conference Thorp Cardinals for
their first game, Nov. 19. Cornell fell quickly as the Cardinals
jumped to a 20-4 lead with 9 minutes left in the first half.
The Chiefs continued to fight, but the limited ability to finish
on baskets put them down by 24 at the end of the first.
We did a great job of taking the ball to the hoop, said
Leland. And shot a lot of free throws, but we just did not

Cornell made nine out of 21 free throws, with junior Abby
Klein adding one of them. Senior Elizabeth Sproul led the
Chiefs with 15 points, while senior Lexi Moussette and sophomore Danielle Fasbender had four.
In the second half of the game, Sproul hit a majority of her
baskets, but the gap was too far to close. Cornell lost to
Thorp, 66-24, for their first game of the season.
Leland says the girls need to find their rhythm before taking on another non-conference team, Eau Claire Immanuel,
Nov. 24, before Thanksgiving break.
We will continue to battle and try and get better every
day, he said.

DNR Outdoor Report


Reports indicate deer rut is winding down. Antler growth is
expected to be very good this year because of a mild winter

and early spring green up.


Non-hunters are reminded that hunting is allowed in some
areas of state parks and forests, so people hiking, gathering
firewood or participating in other outdoor activities should
wear orange.
Wild turkeys are active and are using harvested crop fields.
Pheasants continue to be stocked at public hunting grounds.
Waterfowl hunters still wait for a new push of northern birds.
Cold weather may form some skim ice on some of the
smaller lakes, but for all intents and purposes, lakes remain
open and several weeks away from ice fishing activity.
Though peak migration may be more of a drawn out affair
this year, tundra swans, snow buntings, diving ducks, snowy
owls and raptors should still be visible in areas of the state.

Avoid spoiling your season with these venison tips


Last weeks gun deer season opener was a cold one, but
food safety officials warn that venison handling can lead to
foodborne illness if not done properly, even if the weather
isnt warm.
Harmful bacteria can grow quickly, so we want to make
sure that hunters are clear about how to keep their harvest
fresh and wholesome, said Cindy Klug, manager of the Bureau of Meat Safety and Inspection for the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection.
The biggest mistake we see each year is that hunters hang
their deer in the garage for too long, thinking that the garage
gets cold enough, but temperature fluctuations are not good
for keeping meat safe to eat, Klug says.
Klug offers the following to ensure venison doesnt spoil:
In the field
Field dress the carcass immediately after harvest.
If processing deer from the CWD management zone,
keep meat and trimmings from each deer separate. Minimize
contact with the brain, spinal cord, spleen and lymph nodes.
If removing antlers, use a saw designated for that purpose
only and dispose of the blade.

Do not cut through the spinal column except to remove


the head. Use a knife designated only for this purpose.
Wash the body cavity with cold, clean water if possible,
and carry a clean towel for wiping your hands to prevent
cross-contamination.
Place the heart and liver in a food-grade plastic bag if
keeping them.
Spread the rib cage to cool the carcass more quickly, or
pack the carcass with clean ice.
Transporting
Do not leave wild game in a trunk where warmer temperatures promote bacterial growth.
Register the deer by 5 p.m. the day after harvest and
process it as soon as you possibly can.
Call ahead to a licensed meat plant if processing.
At home
Refrigerate the carcass if possible. Avoid hanging it in a
garage without refrigeration, especially in warm weather.
Use food quality plastic bags or buckets to store cut
meats. Do NOT use dark-colored garbage bags as they may
contain toxic resins and are not intended for food use.

An Outdoorsmans Journal By Mark Walters


Lost in the Valley
Hello friends,
Every fall, for the month of November, the majority of
my outdoor experiences take place from my hunting camp,
located in northern Juneau County. Other hunters named us
back in the late 70s because we are always wearing hipboots and hunting as far away from the road as we can get.
The Red Brush Gang is composed of 25 family members
and friends, with the vast majority having grown up in
Poynette.
We hunt public land, of which most is state or federal.
All told there is over 200 square miles that is connected and
made up of oak and jackpine forests, and marshes that, as
you are about to find out, a man can get lost and temporarily disoriented in.
Thursday, Nov. 12 High 54, Low 30
A large part of my history is that I always have to see
new country while trying to stay away from the crowd.
Last fall I was talking to some trappers who told me
where they had seen some big bucks. That same day I
strapped on my hip boots and went exploring. Long story
short, there were a lot of deer close to the remote road where
I would park, and that kind of kept me from going in deep
and exploring.
On Sunday and Monday of this week, I bow hunted here
and saw five bucks on one hunt, but had to walk a mile
through swamp with no trail to get to there.
Last night I came up with an idea of going to a different
spot which would shave close to half a mile off my hike. It

would still be through a swamp and a half-mile through.


So, this morning, I began my journey in the dark. I carried
tree climbing sticks, a stand on my back and a bow, as well
as a light pack. I was over dressed and most importantly, I
realized that I have forgotten to bring a compass along.
Long story short, about three-quarters of the way to
where I wanted to hunt, I unknowingly made a right turn
and for an hour, had no clue where I was. In the end, I relaxed, worked with the little bit of sun there was and found
the tree and deer trails I wanted to hunt.
I have been playing this game for half a century and have
realized that when you get disoriented, and I truly did today
(which destroyed my morning hunt), just relax and cool off
if you are over heated; there is no reason to panic.
I still hunted, did not see a deer, and hiked back to my
truck having shaved half a mile off my journey for all future
hunts.
Saturday, Nov. 14 High 56, Low 28
My daughter, Selina, and I stayed at camp and bow
hunted the area I just wrote about. I hunted there yesterday
and saw a heck of a nice 10-pointer, which was about 50yards out of range but still a thrill to watch.
Today, I had Selina use a compass and taught her how to
get to where we would hunt. Selina was flawless and actually hunted a good quarter mile past me, and made her way
back to me in the dark. It was pretty cool to watch her find
her dad, in the dark, in an area where she had never walked
before today.
On our hunt, we saw a beautiful eight-pointer that I am
sure was the same deer. Like every buck I have seen the last
10-days it had its head down and was obviously looking for
companionship.
The following morning, Selina led the way in the dark
and found her tree without me. I saw a spike buck on perfectly comfortable hunt, and after a very relaxing evening
at camp the night before, it was another excellent week in
the Meadow Valley Wildlife Area.
My dad taught us by experience to find our way through
swamps, forests and river systems. Those lessons were always while we were having fun and that is what I am doing
with Selina.
Get out and play!

Its a Girls Hunting Life


By: Monique Westaby

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

Cornell City Council

Tax roll uncertain, city ready for facility plan


By Ginna Young
At the regular Cornell City Council meeting Nov. 19,
city administrator Dave DeJongh said because he hadnt
heard from the Department of Revenue, he didnt have
much to report on the 2016 tax roll and mil rates.
I can tell you what the city approved for the levy apportionments, that it only increased for residents less than
half a percent, said DeJongh. Im unsure of what the
school credit is, or what the lottery credit is, what the first
dollar credit is. Its going slow.
Also during the meeting, members authorized DeJongh
to submit requests for proposals for a waste water treatment facility plan. DeJongh created a draft of the request
setting guidelines and requirements for consulting/engineering firms to meet.
It sets up a criteria so its not solely based on price and
you can base it on qualifications ofthe people submitting
the proposals, said DeJongh.
DeJongh said he had John Westaby, utility/public works
supervisor for the city, look over the proposal to make sure
it was all in order. One item in the request stressed the importance of looking into rehabing the current plant instead
of focusing exclusively on a new building.
So, we put that out there and see what we get, said
mayor Judy Talbot.

On other agenda, the council agreed to act on Resolution


15-6 to switch the citys 2016 insurance policy to Municipal Property Insurance Company for $13,592. The city had
a policy through the Local Government Property Insurance
Fund in 2015 for $11,608, but after the premium increased
to $21,206 for the coming year, council members decided
to make the change.
Theyre controlled by the state of Wisconsin, and actually they were almost eliminated from their existence with
the last budget bill, said DeJongh, of the previous insurance provider. I think theyre trying to build up their coffers because of past losses.
The $14 million insurance policy covers city hall, the
city shop, the water tower and treatment plant to name a
few.
As a notice to the public, candidates can begin circulation of nomination papers Dec. 1, for a seat on the council
in the April election. Nomination papers must be filed with
the city clerk by Jan. 5.
That is for anyone in the city who wishes to run, said
Talbot. Stop at the office, register, pick up signature
sheets and get your name on the ballot.
Up for re-election in the spring are Talbot, and aldermen
Steve Turany, Terry Smith and Eb Ballinger. Incumbents
have until Dec. 28 to file non-candidacy papers.

Emerald Ash Borer wont stand a chance


By Ginna Young
Cornells tree-lined streets might be a thing of the past if
the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) has its way, which is why
the city is taking steps to ensure that doesnt happen. During
a finance committee meeting Nov. 19, council members
were given a report on the completed tree management plan
started in the spring.
With the help of an Urban Forestry Grant, Bluestem
Forestry Consulting Inc. inventoried trees on boulevards,
in the city parks and on city-owned properties. Kelli Tuttle,
president of Bluestem, surveyed the size, condition and
safety hazards of Cornells tree species.
From that information, I created a data base, said Tuttle. What this management plan does is lay out activities
that should be completed over the next five years based on
the inventory I collected.
Out of the trees inventoried, Cornell has 188 ash, which
is 19.5 percent of the population. Tuttle recommends removing 130 of the ash trees that are under a 14-inch diameter.
If I say a tree needs removal, I dont make that recommendation lightly, theres something really wrong with the
tree, said Tuttle. The fact is there are just some trees you
shouldnt save. Theres no reason to hold on to a tree and
spend money on treatment, that isnt in good health to begin
with or has some major defect.
To prevent the decimation of Cornells ash population,
Tuttle recommends the city use triage to inject a chemical
into the base of the tree. The formula then moves throughout the tree. When the EAB tries to eat the leaves, they find
it distasteful and move on without laying eggs, which is the
real threat to ash.
If you treat a tree, how much would it cost and how long
would the tree last? asked council member Floyd Hick-

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.

Cornell Elementary
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.

Board Minutes
Nov. 16, 2015
The Finance Committee
met at 6 p.m. to audit the
bills.
The regular meeting of
the Cadott Village Board
was called to order by
president
Anson
Albarado. Trustees present
were:
Bart
Chapek,
Randy Kuehni, Terry
Licht, Les Liptak, Jerry
Rykal and Chuck Sedivy.
Absent: none. Public
present: Mark Vinall, Dan
Masterpole, Kurt Redfern
and Kayla Peche (reporter). The next regular
board meeting will be
Dec. 7, 2015, at 6:30 p.m.
A motion was made by
Licht and seconded by
Kuehni to approve the
minutes of the Nov. 2,
2105, board meeting. MC.
A motion was made by
Liptak and seconded by
Rykal to approve the bills
dated Nov. 16, 2015. Motion by roll call. MC.
President
Albarado
gave a re-cap of the recycling and waste collection
services and what had
transpired at the last
meeting. Masterpole explained the current formula on the expenses
that each community incurred. Rykal stated that

he likes the system that


we have now. We do not
have any problems with
our current hauler. Liptak,
Chapek
and
Sedivy
agreed. Albarado stated
that our contract expires
in December. Some other
communities contracts
dont expire until June but
time is running out for the
villages contract. We
have the option to extend
our existing contract with
Advanced Disposal for
one year for the next two
years. Albarado thought
we could extend this year
and then take a look at it
again. Mark Vinall from
Advanced Disposal explained the solid waste
and recycling contract extension that he had drawn
up for us. This gives us
time to work with the
county and to bid out
again. Albarado stated we
are running out of time.
Kuehni commented that
maybe we should wait
until there is a need for a
recycling market too. A
motion was made by Liptak and seconded by
Chapek to do another
year extension with our
current hauler and then
open it up for bids the
year after. MC.

Potaczek building
plans put on hold

Everything you expect, but not what youre used to


By Kayla Peche
When a new business comes to town, everyone wants to
check it out, but what if the business isnt necessarily new
but rather something youre not used to?
Johnsons Crossing restaurant in Conrath was formerly
known as Iron Horse Steakhouse, but this time around, the
Johnson family of Andrew, Don, Alta and Jordan, plans to
start their own legacy.
Andrew, cook and part-owner, says when he opened as
Iron Horse, there were some problems with consistency, but
this time around their family wont let that happen.
Iknow a lot of times we were running out of stuff, said
Andrew. But we consistently have the same staff and good
food. The things they (customers) have been accustomed to.
The restaurant was closed from Labor Day (Sept. 7) until
the first weekend in October, opening officially with the new
family-named Johnsons Crossing Nov. 6.
Andrew says what sets them apart from other places to eat
in the area is the quality of food and service brought to the
table.
We do everything homemade soups, sauces, stocks, he
said. We dont buy anything in a box or bagIcan say, I
made that. In Conrath, you dont normally get that. Its take
it out of the freezer and throw it in the deep fryer.
He said nothing is frozen at Johnsons Crossing and all
meat is hand-cut or ground in-house. He says desserts are
now homemade as well, and they also offer wedding cakes
and catering for special events.
Not many people take the time anymore to hand-cut
french fries, but they taste better so we do it, he said. Not
many take the time to bread onion rings, but it tastes better
so we do it. It takes a little longer, but we do it.
Even with the extra preparation, it doesnt slow the food
from coming out, and Andrew says most of the regulars ask
them to not bring the food so quick.
Its dinner, Andrew said. Its not your 20-minute lunch
break. Youre here to enjoy yourself.
When you walk in, we want you to feel like youre in our

home. We have that comfortable, casual feel. We do the little


things that most restaurants dont do anymore.
The restaurant still has the train decor, which started when
Iron Horse opened in 1932, and Andrew says the train on the
top rail is working again for children to run during dinner.
He said they plan to make some updates to booths and paint,
but the classic memorabilia will always be there.
Aside from quality food and atmosphere, there is a banquet
hall for private meetings or family get-togethers. The restaurant is open Thursday-Sunday, but Andrew says hes available seven days a week.
Ive opened for two people and Ive opened for 20 people, he said. It just depends.
Andrew says he will also make custom orders and try to
replicate meals from special events, like anniversaries or
birthdays, for the customer.
Right now, we are still trying to figure out what people
want us to be, he said, adding that comedy shows, dinner
theater and wine tastings are planned. We are starting a new
tradition see if we can get that 30-year legacy out of it.
(Johnsons Crossing is) everything you expect, but not
what youre used to.

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.
