Lake Holcombe: Time for another referendum?

By Monique Westaby
With the third year of a three year $675,000 referendum
on the horizon, the Lake Holcombe School Board will take
a closer look at how to plug the hole. While the 2015-16
school year still falls under the referendum, 2016-17 is projected to have over a $700,000 deficit.
Lisa Spletter, district accountant, says a significant drop in
the schools revenues, because of the sunsetting of the referendum, accounts for why funds are projected in the red.
Also, our revenue limit is scheduled to decrease because
of our declining enrollment, said Spletter at the regular
board meeting Jan. 19.
Although there are still a lot of unknowns in Madison
for per-pupil increases in the revenue limit, Spletter says the
biggest known is that the school needs a referendum to
plug the hole.
This is assuming the worst scenario, said Spletter of the
projections. But there still just isnt enough room in the
budget to try to come up with roughly $700,000.
Gordys County Market employees in Cornell move
the soda from its usual aisle to the front corner of
the store Jan. 19, to expand products and room.
During the week, employees will make adjustments
to the center aisles and other parts of Gordys.
Lance Modl, Gordys manager, said they are adding
12 feet to the produce freezer, as well as upgrading
to a new meat case.The increase in space was possible after available room from a liquor/beer move
to the Gordys gas station. (Photo by Kayla Peche)
If the board decides they would like to go for another referendum for 2016-17, Spletter says it would need to happen
during next years fall election November 2016. Unless
you decide to utilize some of the fund balance to basically
plug the hole, and go the following year, she said.
The only problem is, once you drop it, its hard to bring
it back up, said Corey Grape, board president.
It is, said Spletter. You have some wiggle room, as far
as utilizing fund balance, but because of how we receive our
money, in order to keep your cash flow borrowing at a minimum, we need to have a larger fund balance. It all depends
on how much interest you want to pay.
The board decided to hold a board retreat sometime this
summer, possibly June or July, to look into a referendum.
They will determine a specific date for the retreat at the April
regular board meeting.
Weve gone into year two, soon to be year three, said
Spletter. Definitely between year two and year three I think
discussion needs to start again.
Cadott Village Board
New motor sales and repair shop for Cadott

By Kayla Peche
After Northern Installations closed up in Cadott, a new
motor sales and repair shop, KXR Motors, decided to move
in to the area. Ryan Irish and Kurt Prosecky, business owners
and operators, will place KXR Motors at 109 S. State Highway 27 in Cadott.
They will repair four wheelers, cars, small engines and

sell cars, said Randy Kuehni, board member, at the Jan. 19
regular Cadott Village Board meeting. Basically a little bit
of everything.
Because no complaints were filed at the Jan. 5 public hearing, the zoning committee recommended moving forward
with the business venture. The board approved a
conditional use permit for KXR Motors to locate in
a B-2 highway commercial district.
Also on the agenda, the board approved the yearly
signing of a letter of engagement with Ehlers, a financial planning and advisory service, as an agent
for issuing disclosure information required under
securities and exchange commissions.
Anson Albarado, village president, said the contract is all the same except for an increase from
$150 fee to $750.
It wouldve been nice if they had some explanation, said Lester Liptak, board member. If it went
up to $250, that would be one thing, but to go up to
$750 from a $150 beginning, thats substantial.
Liptak motioned to approved Ehlers under the
condition the business provides an explanation for
the large fee increase.
Albarado says mediation between the attorneys
on unfinished work done at the wastewater treatment plant by Olympic Builders is Friday, Jan. 23.
Albarado said the completion date is not set, and all
other information on the matter was discussed in
closed meetings.
After mediation, there should be an update for the

You may not be Earl, but you can still be a better person

Managing Editor
You know the kind of

guy who does nothing but
bad things, and then wonders why his life sucks?
Well, that was me. Every
time something good happened to me, something bad was always waiting around the
corner. Karma. Thats when I realized I had
to changeIm just trying to be a better person. My name is Earl.

Recently, at the Courier Sentinel office,

karma, or delayed consequences, have been
shortened drastically, giving us the phrase,
instant karma.
Not only has instant karma resulted in
spilled coffee and/or food immediately after
(jokingly) voicing less than kind opinions,
its emptied printer paper mere seconds after
laughing at fellow employees unfortunate
circumstances. Because of this, we are much
more careful not to mess with karma (or
poke fun at our co-workersas frequently).
But what about those times when we dont
think about the immediate consequences? Or
if there even are any consequences?
Its been a long day shopping and youre
nearing the end of your post-Christmas returns. The sweater from your grandma is perfect, if you were only 40 years older. And
those pants you wanted so bad and wrote on
your list three months ago, just dont seem to
fit as well as they did before the holiday
cheer.
You get to the cash register with a pair of
earrings, bracelet and necklace in exchange
for the sweater, and one-size larger pants.
The cashier rings up your items and your
phone beeps, distracting you for a moment.

Thatll be $10.72, the checkout girl says
with a smile.
In your mind you wonder why the total is
about $15 less than what you had planned on,
but you think, OK, something must have been
on sale, and swipe your card.
Once out to your car, you look at the receipt. Pants, earrings and a necklace. You
rifle through the bag and your bracelet is
nowhere to be found. Ready to head back inside and find the missing jewelry, you go
through the bag again, pulling each item out.
The bracelet falls to your lap; it had been tangled with the necklace.
Do you go back in and tell the clerk? Or
smile at your luck and continue on your
merry way? Its only $15. The clerk should
have noticed the bracelet, right?
Try another scenario.
You go to the store to get soda, dog food
and a few other unplanned items. The dog
food gets put on the bottom of the cart, and
by the time the pop, movies and fishing items
get rung up, you forget about Fidos chow.
for the choices we make. Others take karma

as a shorter, more religious word for what
goes around comes around.
Mentioning your printer ink must be on
sale since it rang up $10 less than the listed
price might get you an extra 10 percent discount for your honesty. Or letting the cashier
know an item didnt ring up may just save
them from having to pay for the mistake out
of their own paycheck.
Like everything in life, following your
conscience, and deciphering what its telling
you, isnt always as easy as it seems; but taking that first step in doing the right thing,
might just make your next step across the ice
a little safer, and make you feel better.
While most of us wont go as far as Earl

Does cheap gas come with a costly price?

By Kayla Peche
As I drove away from a

in their pockets for savings. All good things

in the short run.
But what about in the long run?
Gas may be cheaper today than it was a
year or two ago, but there are several factors
leading to this drop in price, including more
fuel efficient vehicles, fracking (drilling and
injecting fluid into the ground at a high pressure in order to fracture shale rock to release
natural gas inside) on U.S. or Canadian soil,
and an extra supply of oil from Saudi Arabia.
The vitality of this domestic oil and gas
resolution (fracking) has been one of the
biggest sources of strengths in the U.S. economy. The Washington Post states: the development of tight oil and shale gas supports
well over 2 million jobs and could hit 3.3 million by 2020.
Although some states are against fracking
because of pollution it may cause, the increase on job possibilities is a positive, but
could also lead to negative outcomes.
When 60 percent of U.S. oil was imported,
like in 2005, the impact of a price drop would
have been absorbed mostly by oil exporting
countries. But now, with imports under 30
percent, the impact of the price drop will
have a bigger impact on the U.S. economy.
The Washington Post goes on to state:Oil
companies cash flows will be tighter, and
they will have less money to invest in oil production. There will be some reduction in
drilling on less promising prospects.
If oil prices do fall further, to a level that
presents a wholesale threat to investment and
activity in the oil and gas sector, that would
be a significant negative for the entire economy.
The other supply of our oil largely comes
from Saudi Arabia, which is a concern on
how this affects Americas foreign affairs.
According to the Office of the Historian in
the U.S. Department of State, in 1973, Saudi
Arabia and the Organization of the Petroleum
Exporting Countries (OPEC) launched a
campaign to force Western powers to cut
back on their support to Israel during the
Arab-Israeli War.
Despite their attempts, the U.S. supplied
Israel with arms, which led to the U.S. being
punished by OPEC with an oil embargo. According to the information, by the end of the
embargo in March of 1974, the price of oil
had risen from $3 per barrel to nearly $12.
The embargo forced Americans to think
seriously about alternative sources of power,
conservation of energy and developing domestic sources of oil, ultimately leading to
the development of energy-efficient products, better gas mileage and solar products
for electricity.
Americans must keep in mind that although the lower prices in gas are great, we
can not take our fuel efficiency and conservation for granted. Extreme cases like the oil
crisis may not happen, but it is best to be safe
rather than sorry.
The other unfortunate truth is that low
prices for gasoline are a symptom of an unhealthy global economy. According to a
phrase from International Monetary Fund
Managing Director Christine Lagarde, the
world has reached the new mediocre,
meaning low growth for a long period of
time.
Six years after the financial crisis began,
we see continued weakness in the global
economy, she said. Countries are still dealing with the legacies of the crisis, including
high debt burdens and unemployment.
This new mediocre will use less oil than
a stronger economy, and a weaker global
economy is hardly a positive for the U.S.
economy.
If prices continue to fall, the economy
could be in real danger, because central banks
are limited on how to encourage spending, especially with interest rates already at, or near,
0 percent in most of the world.
People may be encouraged to save the
money that comes from the low fuel costs,
but in fact, we need to keep on spending. According to The New York Times, approximately 70 percent of all economic growth in
the U.S. is driven by consumer spending.
Without financially feeding the world with
spending, the economy will starve.
Lower prices might be good in themselves,
but its what they reveal about the way things
are headed thats cause for concern.

Tales of our Beginnings

Cadott Cornell Lake Holcombe areas
The Holcombe Ball Team in 1919, consisted of, left to right, in front, Billie
Henry, Bob Zimmerman, Ernie Lother, Bill Meyers and Kib Ecker; in back,
are, Louie Bernier, Glen Hinton, E.H. Bernham, Jack JuVette and Tommy
Johnson.
The Holcombe Journal

E.H. Burnham was the editor and owner of The Holcombe Journal, an eight
page weekly newspaper that was started in 1906. Burnham was born in Princeton, Minn., March 31, 1859. He was a high school graduate.
Before coming to Holcombe, Burnham had engaged in business as a photographer. Besides running The Holcombe Journal, he was also in the undertaking
and embalming business, acted as a notary public, and chief of the fire department. Fraternally he is a member of the Independent Order of the Odd Fellows.
Note: Copies of The Holcombe Journal can be found in the Cornell Library
hidden away in a cupboard. They are very fragile so if you want to see them, be
careful and check with the librarian.
Burnham was an undertaker as well as a photographer, fire chief and notary.
He was a jack of all trades, as they used to say.

Chili.chili.chili..and more chili.

The Holcombe United Methodist Church will host their annual chili cookoff Saturday, Jan. 24, at 11:30 a.m. The free
meal will host a competition and, the more chili brought to
the competition, the more free meal available to any and all
who come.
But this day is not only about chili, it also includes board
games and a craft project table for making mosquitos for
Imagine No Malaria.
Pie and cake walks will also be held, and guests can walk,
waltz, or dance their way around the circle. A pie/cake silent
auction is planned, and all proceeds from pie/cake events will
go to the Imagine No Malaria ministry.
The event begins at 11:30 a.m., at the Holcombe United
Methodist Church on County Highway M, less than a quarter
mile west of State Highway 27.
Depending on the weather, planners say there may be some
outdoor nonsense/colder fun going on for adults and children.
Chili competitors should bring their entries in a slow
cooker if possible, and judges are dressed for the occasion,
primed for the event and totally committed to being absolutely fair.

Pastors Corner
Words of inspiration for these modern times from
members of our Religious communities
By The Rev. Andy Schottelkorb
Our Saviors Lutheran Cornell, Wis.
From time to time, Its good for us to step back and take
stock of things. The commencement of a new year is such
a time. So, too, is our present experience of the dead of
winter. Indeed, the dead of winter is an odd but fitting
phrase for what we see and feel outside these days.
Taking stock of the dead of winter then, we find a whitewashed scene, a transformed landscape of dead brown
color below with dead white color on top. The ground itself seems eager to have us slip and fall or to at least give
us the gift of wet boots, socks and feet. Added to that, we
experience winters cold and winters lack of light. Its
Mother Natures recipe for cabin fever, for more literal
sickness and yes, even for death.
Such a grave context is not all bad, and can indeed be
seen as beautiful and serene. One such beautiful aspect of
the dead of winter is that it draws our attention to life and
living things, especially things that persevere in spite of
the cold, hard truth around them. Evergreen trees do this
famously, as do thoroughly bundled-up children with their
sleds. Warm cups of coffee, hot cocoa and bowls of soup
do so. Time spent both outside and inside with friends,
family and at church with God and Gods family do so as
well.
A hymn (#299 from the Evangelical Lutheran Worship
book) that often comes to my mind in the dead of winter
is Cold December Flies Away. This Catalonian carol contains a double-promise. First, that winter will not last but
will fly away and leave us. Secondly, that spring will take
over winters place with divine brightness, flowers and
sweet smells. A world in the clutches of death will be embraced by new life. In nature, this is the story of the seasons of winter and spring. In our hearts, this is the story
of our sinfulness and Gods free gift of grace. The good
news for us is that the dead of winter and of our sin is no
match for God, Gods Son and Gods Spirit. The truth
there goes beyond the seasons, so I am not late as I now

By Janice Craig 715-595-4380
Twenty-two Holcombe Seniors gathered Wednesday for
their monthly meeting. The theme was snowmen and snowballs. They had two volunteers wrapped with toilet paper to

were added. These seniors have a lot of fun. Next month, a
lady is coming to explain hospice care.

Contaminated apple source found in listeriosis outbreak

A California apple packing plant has been identified as the
likely source of contamination in caramel apples that led to
a multi-state outbreak of listeriosis, according to food safety
officials at the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade
and Consumer Protection (DATCP).
To date, 32 outbreak-related illnesses, including six deaths,
have been reported among residents of 11 states. Three illnesses have been reported in Wisconsin.
Bidart Bros., of Bakersfield, Calif., is voluntarily recalling
whole, fresh Gala and Granny Smith variety apples shipped
in 2014. Some of the apples recalled may be sold under the
brand names Big B and
Grannys Best, though
they could also be sold under
other brand names, or with
no brand at all.
NOW SHOWING
Based on available information, consumers should
The Battle of the Five Armies
dispose of any Gala and
Granny Smith apples known
The Hobbit
to have been packed by Bidart Bros. If this information isnt

easily determined, consumers should ask the retailer if the
apples they purchased were from Bidart Bros.
Since some of the implicated apples were further processed
into caramel apples, food safety officials recommend that
consumers also continue to dispose of commercially-produced, pre-packaged caramel apples.
Numerous agencies nationwide, including FDA, DATCP
and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, continue
to investigate this outbreak.
Listeriosis is a life-threatening infection caused by eating
food contaminated with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. It is particularly dangerous for pregnant women and
their newborns, young children, frail or elderly people, and
others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons with
listeriosis often experience diarrhea and fever. Persons who
believe they may have become ill with listeriosis should contact their health care provider.

Hornet players put it all on the floor

By Kayla Peche
The Cadott Hornets Boys Basketball team
went into an overtime battle early in the
week against Augusta, then brought it back
home for a Cloverbelt Conference match up.
Jan. 13 vs. Augusta
(58-61 L, non-conference)
Brandon Mittermeyer, Hornets head
coach, says Cadott led most of the game, but
fell in overtime to Augusta, 58-61.
We ended up committing some costly errors in the fourth quarter and overtime, Mittermeyer said. It was a learning experience
for us.
Augusta put the game into overtime with
a tying-shot by Beaver Brandon Kimball.
Cadott was then outscored, 5-8, to lose the
non-conference game.

fight for Cadott with 19 points and three

three-pointers. He was joined by classmates
Ben Kyes with 14 points and Ezra Michael
with 11. Kyes and Michael also contributed
a three-pointer.
Mittermeyer says Shawn Sedlacek, a junior, also helped the Hornets offensively and
defensively, scoring eight points himself.
Jan. 15 vs. Fall Creek
(36-59 L, conference)
In a home game, Jan. 15, the Hornets faced
the Fall Creek Crickets, who are second in
the Cloverbelt conference behind undefeated
Eau Claire Regis.
Mittermeyer says Cadotts defense played
well against Fall Creek and their versatile
Cricket player, Matt Anderson.
Its tough to defend a guy who makes a
deep three-pointer one possession and follows that in the next possession with a drive
to the basket and dunk finish, he said.
Cadott kept the scores close, ending halftime at 26-28. But the Crickets powered up
in the second half, outscoring Cadott, 31-10,
to take the win, 59-36.
Fall Creek extended their zone in the second half which led us to take different shots,
Mittermeyer said. Fall Creek is very well
coached and they did what they needed to
change the shots we were getting.
Cadott had three players score in the game,
but all three finished in the double figures.
Kyes led the charge with 14 points while McChesney had 12 and Michael had 10.
Even though they were the only players to
score baskets, Mittermeyer says all players
worked together as a team.
We worked very hard during this game,
he said. The players put it all on the floor.
The Hornets hosted parents night Jan. 20,
against Stanley-Boyd, then traveled to Thorp
Jan. 22, for another conference game.

Injuries dont stop Chieftains from win

By Kayla Peche
The Lake Holcombe Chieftains Boys Basketball team suffered an injured player during a game against Birchwood this week, but
moved forward to win both conference
games.
We were able to overcome the injuries by
the next man standing up, says Dave Engel,
Lake Holcombe head coach.
After the victories, Lake Holcombe moved
to tie for second place with Bruce in the East
Lakeland Conference.
Jan. 13 vs. Winter (70-28 W, conference)
Lake Holcombe had a strong lead throughout the whole game against Winter, and came
out with an East Lakeland Conference win,
70-28.
Engel said it wasnt just the baskets that
helped them win the game.
This was a dominate game defensively,
he says.
In the first quarter, the Chieftains were
ahead by only four points, but in the second,
outscored the Warriors, 27-5, jumping to a
44-18 lead at halftime.
The second half continued to be dominated
by Lake Holcombe, as they held their opponent to only 10 points, taking the conference
victory.
Engel says Nick Seng (junior) and Jere-
miah Reedy (sophomore) were able to do

what they wanted offensively, which was an
asset in the win.
Reedy led with 22 points and Seng added
20. Senior Jay Kent was also in the doubledigits with 12 points for Lake Holcombe.
Jan. 16 vs. Birchwood
(60-41 W, conference)
The Chieftains led their second conference
game of the week against the Birchwood
Bobcats, Jan. 16.
During the first quarter, Lake Holcombe
only led by one point, but in the second and
third quarter, they controlled the scoreboard.
Engel says Seng had dominated the first
half, scoring his 15 points, but was then
taken out because of an injury. The cut
above Sengs lip required medical attention,
said Cindy Miller, Lake Holcombe athletic
director.
Despite the injury in the second half, Lake
Holcombe held Birchwood to only three
points in the third quarter. Going into the
final quarter, the Chieftains led by 22 points,
and defeated the Bobcats, 60-41.
Reedy was the top scorer for Lake Holcombe with 17, followed by Kent with 12
and sophomore Reece Kinney with seven.
This was Lake Holcombes second conference win of the week, putting them in the
second place spot for the East

Lakeland Conference.
The Chieftains take on conference leaders, New Auburn, Thursday, Jan. 22, but first hosted a
non-conference game Tuesday,
Jan. 20, against Shell Lake.
By Kayla Peche
The Cornell Chiefs Boys Basketball team battled with
two conference rivals this week, defeating the first by 15,
but losing to Bruce in a conference tie-breaking battle.
Shawn Schoelzel, Cornell head coach, said the shots
werent falling for the team like they wanted.
We needed a few more layups in that game and settled
for too many jump shots, said Schoelzel about the loss
against Bruce. And then we never closed the gap in the
fourth.
Jan. 13 vs. Flambeau (63-48 W, conference)
Cornell added another win to their conference record,
becoming 3-1, putting them in a three-way tie with Lake
Holcombe and Bruce in the East Lakeland Conference.
Schoelzel said the team played well, especially without
their junior player, Cortland Spletter. Spletter was
benched for five games, following an Extra-Curricular
Code violation.
Not having Cortland made me nervous, but we got all
the shots we wanted and pushed the ball well, Schoelzel
said. I thought we played well and matched up well.
The Chiefs defeated the Flambeau Falcons, 63-48,
leading the entire game.
Sophomore Noah Nohr led the charge for Cornell with
20 points. Cornell sophomore Trenton Glaus added 15
and Levi Boehm, also a sophomore, had 13 points.
Everyone really had a nice game, Schoelzel said, but
mentioned there were some things he thought the team
needed to work on.
Defensively, we were a little lazy, but we luckily got
away with it on this one, he says. We will have to step
it up for Bruce.
Jan. 16 vs. Bruce (41-51 L, conference)
Schoelzel says the team didnt handle the press well
Jan. 16, in the first quarter, falling behind 7-18. But the
Chiefs picked it up in the second quarter, bringing it to a
two point game, 25-27, against Bruce.
We forced some turnovers and got some easy layups,
Schoelzel said. In the third quarter, we got all the shots
we wanted, but nothing fell for us.
As Schoelzel says, the third quarter is when it turned
south for Cornell. The team could only get four points in
that period.
The Chiefs stride had been defeated, and so did the
team, losing to Bruce, 41-51.
Nohr scored 11 points to lead for Cornell, while Glaus
had 10 and sophomore Colton Hetke had nine.
Following the loss against Bruce, Cornell moved to a
non-conference game against Augusta Jan. 20, at home.
They will then travel to Eau Claire Immanuel for a weekend game, Jan. 24.
Donning their new jerseys, made possible by a donation from Swinging Fore
a Cause, the Lake Holcombe boys team listens to coach Dave Engel. Engel
said the team no only made baskets, but dominated defensively during the
matchup against Winter Jan. 13.

Cornell comes to life
against Red Raiders
Page
By Kayla Peche
The Cornell Chiefs Girls Basketball team came to life in
a conference game against Bruce, after an earlier loss in the
week vs. Flambeau.
I am very happy with the way the girls played, said Marcus Leland, Cornell head coach. We played very good defense and hit key shots when we needed to.
Jan. 13 vs. Flambeau (47-69 L, conference)
Leland says the girls hurt themselves in the loss against
Flambeau, 47-69, because of mistakes they made during the
game.
We turned the ball over far too much, he said.
The Chiefs were behind, 16-36, going into the locker
rooms at halftime, but Leland says the second half is when
the team started to fight back.
We executed our offense and didnt make any bad
passes, he said. We were much more competitive in the
second half.
Even though Cornell pushed themselves during that half,
it wasnt enough to defeat the Falcons.
Senior Makenzie Ewings was the lead scorer with 11
points, followed by sophomore Alexis Short with 10. Senior
Kammey Kendall and junior Alexis Moussette each ended
the night with seven.
Jan. 16 vs. Bruce (27-23 W, conference)
It was a close game Jan. 16, when the girls traveled to
Bruce. Leland says it was down to the last few minutes when
Cornell pulled away with the victory, 27-23.
We struggled to score in the first three quarters of the
game, he said. Our offense finally came to life in the
fourth.
Ewings was four of six at the free throw line during the
final quarter of the game, with three of those four in the last
few minutes, helping the Chiefs take the win.
Leading Cornell in points was Ewings with nine, followed
by Short with six. Senior Jane Hickethier and freshman
Danielle Fasbender each
added four points for Cornell.
The Chiefs went to Unity
Jan. 20, for their next game,
and are off until Jan. 27,
when they travel to Birchwood for a conference game.
Just a bump in the road
Junior Alexis Moussette dribbles around a Flambeau defender as the Falcons put a full-court press

By Kayla Peche
Add a game to the winning side for the
Lake Holcombe girls basketball team after
this week. The Chieftains may have taken
two hard losses, but at home Jan. 16, they
showed their capability to win against East
Lakeland rival Birchwood.
We did well on some of the things we
struggled with in previous games, said Hannah Lee, Lake Holcombe sophomore player.
So that was a really good improvement. I
hope we can keep improving.
Jan. 13 vs. Winter
(34-55 L, conference)
During the first game of the week, Jan. 13,
the Chieftains took on the Winter Warriors,
who are currently tied for second place in the
conference with Cornell and Bruce.
Scores were within a few baskets at halftime, and although Lake Holcombe gave a
strong effort, they were outscored by 21, losing 34-55.
Jan. 16 vs. Birchwood
(43-28 W, conference)
After the loss, the Chieftains came out
strong against the Birchwood Bobcats.
Both had a similar record for the 2014-15
basketball season, but Lake Holcombe
jumped ahead in the East Lakeland Conference standings with the victory.
Lake Holcombe took charge of the game

in the final quarter, dominating Birchwood,
43-28, to win their first game of the season.
It was a great win and we all tried our
hardest, Lee said. Im glad I was able to be
part of the team win.
Jan. 19 vs. Rib Lake
(13-53 L, non-conference)
Once adding a win to their plate, Lake
Holcombe traveled to Rib Lake Jan. 19, for
a non-conference matchup.
Rib Lake dominated the game offensively
and defensively, the first three quarters,
which allowed the Chieftains only 13 total
points for the night.
Lake Holcombe couldnt get the baskets to
go in during the second quarter, keeping their
score 5-47 at halftime.
The third quarter was more of the same,
adding only a basket to the score, 7-52. But
in the final quarter, the Chieftains held Rib
Lake to only one point as they scored their
final six. Unfortunately, it wasnt enough to
come back from Rib Lakes dominating lead,
and Lake Holcombe lost, 13-53.
After the game, the Chieftains were back
home to take on a non-conference competitor, Shell Lake, Jan. 20. They will then host
Bruce Jan. 27, for an East Lakeland rival
match up.
By Kayla Peche
The Cadott Hornets Girls Basketball team was stumped in
the second half by the McDonell Macks, who pulled away,
Jan. 13, to grab their first Western Cloverbelt Conference victory of the season.
Cadott led early, 9-6, following a three-pointer by junior
Charlene Holte and a basket from junior Elizabeth Kyes. McDonell closed the first quarter on a 7-0 run to lead 13-9.
The Hornets entered the second half with only a 10 point
difference, 22-32, but were outscored 33-12 in the final two
quarters, leading to Cadotts 34-65 demise.
Hornet senior Samantha Rinecks offensive-rebound putback, followed by a free throw, was the lone scoring of the
final quarter for Cadott.
Dave Hazuga, Cadott head coach, said McDonells pressure defense made the game difficult.
Their trapping defense got us, Hazuga said. We made
some mistakes that were forced, a few unforced, but their defense definitely worked.
Rineck led Cadott with 13 points, followed by 11 from
Kyes.
The defeat was a bump in the road for a Hornets team that
Hazuga says has been playing better as the season has gone
on.
I think the rest of our season is going to go with ups and
downs, Hazuga said. Just like you have ups and downs with
your family members, were a basketball family and we have
ups and downs on the court. But the girls are working hard
so theres no issues there. We are capable of playing really
good games.
Cadott will travel to Fall Creek Jan. 22, for their next conference game.

Varsity takes hit but hard work pays off for Jr. High Hornets
By Monique Westaby
The Cadott wrestling team took to the road this week to
challenge Stanley-Boyd/Owen-Withee/Thorp, but came
away with a tough loss at the meet.
This was a tough match, said head coach Josh Spaeth,
of the Jan. 15 contest. We need to get the entire team committed to getting better.
Only five Hornet wrestlers brought home points for the
team, with Alex Licht, senior, Bailey Gillett, freshman, and
Brandon Pederson, junior, earning six points.
Pederson earned fastest pin (1:17) as well as best effort
for the meet, and Spaeth says he wrestled an aggressive

match.
Oriole Sam Burzynski earned four points for a 12-2
major decision over Cadott senior Austin Najbrt, but Najbrt
was still given best takedown for the day.
Cadott finished the meet with 27 points, while StanleyBoyd/Owen-Withee/Thorp had 45 on the Orioles cancer
awareness night.
Although the varsity Hornets struggled to gain points
against their neighboring school, the junior high team came
away with a victory, earning 46 total points to their oppo-
nents 6.
Seventh grader Jene Hudack was given fastest pin with
14 seconds, while classmates Josh Briggs had best takedown and Jaret Semanko earned best effort.
Jaret wrestled hard for the entire match, said Spaeth.
He never stopped trying to pin his opponent and won by
the score of 4-0.
Nice job junior high. Your hard work is paying off.
The Hornets Varsity team will host their next meet,
Thursday, Jan. 22, against Spencer, followed by an invitational at Arcadia, Saturday, Jan. 24.
Wolfpack gives good effort

By Kayla Peche
The Cornell-Lake Holcombe-Gilman Wolfpack Wrestling team grasped a 10th place finish out of 21 teams at the Jan. 17 Ladysmith
Invitational.
Greg Sonnentag, Wolfpack head coach,
says the team did well considering two of their
varsity sophomore players, Matt Kostka and
Peyton Bowe, are out with injuries.
Altogether it was good team effort, Sonnentag said of his team, who finished with 213
total points.
Wolfpack senior Eric Nedland continued
his victorious season by finishing second
place at the tournament.
Nedland went 2-1, scoring a pair of fall victories to advance to the championship match.
At 126 pounds, Nedland fell to Camerons Kal
Gerber, a two-time state champion, by a fall.
Nedland improved his record to 23-4 on the
season.
Senior Spencer Gibson, at 138 pounds, and

heavy-weight sophomore Takoda Lee, finished in fourth place for the Wolfpack. Freshman Zach Person gave Cornell-Lake
Holcombe-Gilman a sixth place comeback,
after losing to a first-seed early on in the second match.
I thought Zach wrestled very well in his
second tournament, Sonnentag said. This
was only his second tournament of the season
and he seems to be coming around well.
The rest of the Wolfpack finished in the top
20 places to earn points. Senior Dusty Boehm
took seventh place by a fall, and sophomore
Jake Hillebrand scored 26 points for the team
with an eighth place finish. Freshman Paul
Nedland took 12th place, while sophomore
Micah Raatz finished out the pack in 13th.
The Cornell-Lake Holcombe-Gilman team
will wrestle again during the weekend Jan. 24,
at Saint Croix Falls.

DNR Outdoor Report

Snowmobile trails continue to be open in only about a dozen
of the northern most counties.
Parks and forests through central and some southern counties
are able to pack down ski trails, but in many cases there is not
enough snow to set tracks.
Ice conditions have improved with colder weather however,
with the warm-up, those venturing out on frozen lakes should
check locally for current ice conditions.
Anglers have targeted walleye with sporadic action.
Hunters report good success hunting rabbits, and tracking coyote and fox.
Some deer hunters continue to take advantage of milder tem-
peratures and longer day lengths for the season archery hunt in
the metro deer sub-units. Bucks have started to shed their antlers.
Red-tailed hawks have been seen in their breeding rituals.
Among the usual winter fare of chickadees, gold finches,
nuthatches and woodpeckers, red poles and pine siskins from the
north have been seen.
Grouse can be spotted budding in the trees at dusk, and turkeys
visit area bird feeders.
Approximately 239 different owls have been reported
statewide, compared to 224 as of this date last year. Snowy owls
have been counted at around 230.
Eagles continue to congregate near open water below dams.

Its a Girls Hunting

Life
By: Monique Westaby
Cold Feet
Although the residents at
the coon motel must have
been back at the Ponderosa, our spirits werent dampened
and we headed for another run. Less than a mile from the
last drop, we let Blaze, Chaos and Cordellia go in a cornfield
we had permission to hunt.
The dogs ran the field for a long time, and while barking
away at the night, truck lights started coming down the road,
just as the dogs made a loop toward blacktop.
Watch out for the dogs, I said to no one in particular,
looking at the GPS as we moved to the shoulder. If they
come to the road we have to try and catch them.
As the vehicle neared it began to slow and I thought to
myself, Oh no, an upset neighbor who doesnt like coon
hunting with dogs. To my surprise, it was a fellow coon
hunter, but from a few generations prior to ours. He lived on
the other side of the field and heard the dogs barking, and
came to check it out.
We talked about hunting of the past and told stories while
the dogs moved away from the field and into a swamp.
Theyre heading for the road up there, I said.
A couple hundred yard drive up the road only resulted in
the dogs making another loop and heading back into the
swamp. We followed them on foot parallel to the road until
we were back where we started, minus a truck.
You ready to walk in? Scott, my husband, asked Kendra,
our nine-year-old apprentice.
Ya, she said, nodding her stocking hat covered head.
We pushed our way around the edge of the cornfield, moving wet leaves and stumbling over small mounds of dirt on
the ground. Scotts 6 foot legs moved much quicker than my
5 foot or Kendras 4 foot legs, and he veered off the path to
the tree several minutes ahead of us.
I had my new waterproof boots on and judging by the
splish-splash of the dogs a hundred yards in, I suggested
Kendra stay at the edge of the field with our friend, Jerry,
who shed promptly named Mandarin Orange earlier in
the evening. (I have no idea why.)
Ill let you know if you can come in when I get there, I
said to a very sad-faced girl who wanted to see a coon up a
tree with dogs barking at the base.
Unfortunately, my waterproof boots only work if the water
doesnt go over the top and I tried to yell through the echoing
barks to Kendra and Mandarin Orange that the water was
too deep. I looked back and there she was, on Jerrys shoulders, making their way too me.
Stop!I yelled. Its too wet!
My voice reached them and they turned around; five more
steps and Mandarin Orange would have been up to his waist
with the added weight on his back.
Scott tied a lead around the coon
for a handle and brought it to me, and
I dragged the masked bandit to
where Kendra was while he brought
out the dogs. With excitement on
her face, she tried to pick up the
raccoon, but 22 pounds proved
to be a little heavy for a nineyear-old, and I carried the
furry critter to the road.
Ready for another run?
Scott asked Kendra back at
the truck.
Sadly, her short rubber boots
were no match for the wet
swamp, and her little toes had
gotten wet, ending her first
coon hunting experiencing,
and sending her back home
to warm up.
I tried to convince Kendra
to carry out a 22 pound
raccoon, but picking it
up was enough of an
adventure and she chose to take the
lead out of the cornfield, rather than the
lead holding onto the coon.
OUTDOORS
Hunters register 4,220 turkeys in fall hunt
According to preliminary harvest
data, Wisconsin wild turkey hunters
registered 4,220 birds during the fall
2014 wild turkey season, a slight decrease from 4,633 turkeys registered
during the 2013 fall season.
Success rates in 2014 were similar
to last year, with 6.8
percent of permits
being filled, compared to 7.1 percent
in 2013.
The fall turkey season provides a much different experience
for
turkey
hunters, said Scott Walter, DNR upland wildlife
ecologist. In particular,
those who hunt turkeys
with dogs are very
passionate about the experience.

Turkey harvest totals reflect a number of factors, including turkey population size, weather conditions, and
hunter participation and effort.
According to the DNR, severe winter in 2013-14 led to some localized
mortality, primarily in the far north.
These localized events followed a
very poor production year because of
wet and cold conditions in 2013.
We were pleasantly surprised with
how well turkeys in the north came
through last years severe winter,
said Krista McGinley, DNR assistant
upland wildlife ecologist. Field reports suggest production among
northern birds was actually greater
last spring than in 2013.
A preliminary total of 62,450 per-
mits were sold for the 2014 fall

turkey season, with 54,243 allotted
through the drawing, and another
8,207 permits sold over-the-counter
after the drawing was complete.
Harvest and permit issuance numbers are preliminary and may change
once data is finalized.

First Beaver
Hello friends,
On Christmas Eve my stepson, Joey Dushek, called me
up and said he just found some very active beaver sign and
wanted to know if I would show him how to make some
beaver sets (trap sets), as he had a strong desire to catch his
first beaver. I told Joey, lets wait, come up with a bunch of
330 bodygrip traps and do this in a couple of weeks. Besides,
it was Christmas!
Enter our good buddy, Jody Bigalke. Jody is a very active
trapper, has a lot of gear and likes teaching kids how to hunt,
shoot carp, fish and trap. (Major KAMO one-on-one mentor.) Jody basically takes charge of the entire operation and
here is the story.
Saturday, Jan. 10 High 14, Low -16
Joey is 21, took his trapper education class last year, works
on a cranberry marsh in western Juneau County, and since
he caught his first fox two weeks ago, is totally addicted to
trapping. Today, Jody, Joey and I spent a full day exploring
a couple thousand acres of forest, marsh and waterways, and
basically worked very hard.
The first place we made our sets was one of five that Joey
had been doing some very serious scouting at. The layout
was a maybe 200-acre reservoir with the vast majority of the
shoreline made up of mature pine and oak forest.
Beaver, like most wildlife, love recent logging jobs and
the reason is always the same because deer, grouse and
beaver find abundant food to consume in the aspen that appears the following spring and for many years to come.
In our case there were not many beaver as there was not
much food, but all Jody or myself cared about was getting
Joey his first beaver and teaching him how to trap beaver.
Our first set was on what you could literally call an underwater beaver trail. Beaver, like muskrat, swim on trails,
generally at the bottom of the waterway they are swimming
once ice has formed. Depending on the age of the water system, these trails could be decades old and always create a
shallow path (hard bottom)
where the beaver swim;
their bodies push silt and
sand to the side.
The ice was only two
inches thick over the
beaver highways, so we
had to be careful.
Jody taught Joey at our first set that in a deep run, it is best
to set two body grip traps, with one positioned over the other
in case the beaver swim a bit above the bottom. Long story
short, at days end we had seven sets for beaver. The following day Jody taught Joey how to make two sets for muskrat
that first day of checking traps yielded no fur.
Space is always an issue in telling this story, but hard
work, cold hands, incredible wildlife sign (bobcat, wolf, coyote and deer) are a large part of the adventure called beaver
trapping.
Wednesday, Jan. 14 High 21, Low -12
Jody could not make trap checking today, and most of our
work was done in the dark as Joey worked until 4:30 p.m.
Our experience was nothing short of incredible, and Joeys
first set was a baited set under the ice with no beaver.
The next set was a trail on the bottom of the reservoir, and
that is where Joey caught his first beaver after some ice
chopping and trap pulling. Joeys third set held his second
beaver; his fourth held his first muskrat and his fifth another
rat.
All of our work was done with a spotlight and our adventure was becoming a classic.
Set number six was a trail leading to a hut. Above the ice
was ample bobcat and coyote sign. When we pulled this
bodygrip it held what looked like a small bear, and now Joey
had a beaver to make a blanket out of. I do not know what
this trophy weighed but I believe 60 pounds is a good guess.
During this entire experience, we talked about biology and
how many animals are safe to harvest without over harvesting.
As I said, our sets were scattered and our second to last
was made for beaver, but held Joeys third rat and set number
nine held another beaver, which meant seven out of nine held
fur.
Joey pulled the traps the next time he checked them, and
I think it is safe to say a
couple of old timers taught
him a trick or two on how
to trap beaver under the
ice.
Enjoy the adventure!

Life On The Family Farm

It Was Absolutely Wonderful
By Tom Heck
We had some very special friends here this last summer for a
picnic. They traveled from a long way; some even came from
foreign countries.
Since none of them were dairy farmers, we knew having them
to our farm would make for a very interesting day. They were
surprised at many things on the farm, but in the end, the biggest
surprise was on us.
They marveled at the machinery and equipment it takes to
farm here in Wisconsin. They had hundreds of questions about
the machinery: what each piece was used for and how it worked.
After answering their questions the best I could on that,
they had a lot of questions on
the crops we grow to feed our
cattle.
AUTO BODY
I took them out into one of
our hayfields that had alfalfa
and orchard grass growing in
it. They found this extremely
interesting. They had never
seen this before, which surprised me.
Serving Chippewa Falls
They asked me if I was faSince 1997
miliar with certain forage
crops grown in their country
Your VehicleYour Choice
that looked somewhat similar
to my hay crop. They named

them off, and I had to admit I
Corner of Hwy. 124 & S
had never ever heard of those
grasses and forage crops in my
CHIROPRACTIC CARE
life. This was proving to be
very interesting and educational to all of us.
After that, it was off to see
the cattle. They really admired
them and wanted to know all
about them. How we take care
of them, how we feed them
Dr. Shawn M. Kromrey
and how we milk them.
They were also amazed
500 South Main Street
when Bronson came with his
Cadott, Wis.
large milk truck to pick up our
milk. They watched him get
our milk, and I could see he
was real uneasy about it, especially since a number of our

happen to him.

France, picked up his book to remarry us all over again.
But, Joanne with tears in her eyes, had to stop him, and ran to
get our vows from 25 years before. And then we got married all
over again.
After that, we had our picnic dinner and some wonderful fellowship. It was the most wonderful day of the whole year for
us.
Yes, its absolutely wonderful to be married to Joanne, the
bride God chose for me. I have never regretted marrying her. I
love her with all my heart, and count it a privilege to go through
life with her every day serving God. It truly is the most wonderful life possible.
Its wonderful how God made marriage a holy and sacred

covenant, only to be entered into between a man and woman.
The Holy Scriptures clearly say in Mark 10:6-7, But from
the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and
cleave to his wife.
When we follow Gods ways, then we live the most blessed
lives possible. If we go against Gods ways, then it brings
heartache and misery. And in the end, certain judgment.

UW-Stevens Point graduates
Cadott School
Bea Yang, Jim Falls, and Roshel Stewart, Gilman, were

among the more than 650 graduates at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point 2014 winter commencement ceremonies.
Graduates, their guests and faculty members were addressed
by Alexa Posny, a 1974 alumna and the senior vice president
of State and Federal Programs for Renaissance Learning in
Madison.

Class
of the
Week:
Kristen Schroeders
Sixth Grade
In December, Kristen Schroeders Cadott sixth grade class collected money
for Heifer International instead of exchanging Christmas gifts. They raised
enough to buy a goat for a family in a developing country. The students also wrote and performed their
own readers theater presentations in reading. This month, they have been studying area and perimeter
in math, and applying their knowledge of models and designs by building go-karts in science. In social
studies and writing, they are working on expository papers about Central American cultures. In February,
the students plan to go skiing at Christie Mountain.
Cadott second graders play a dice game with their

grandparents Jan. 16, when the first and second
grade hosted grandparents day. Students wrote
poems, made bookmarks and did an interview to
hear what life was like in the younger days for their
grandparents.

math games, read books, and ate milk and cookies.

New owners of Stacker Cafe happy to be here

By Ginna Young
Steve and Wendy Singleton, new owners of Wendys
Stacker Cafe on Bridge Street in Cornell, may not be from
the area originally, but have decided this is where they want
to be.
I couldnt think of a better place to live, Steve said.
Steve and Wendy made the decision to move to Cornell
from Rochester, Wis., after his mother had to be placed in a
nursing home and saw how the community watched out for
her.
The night she had to be taken, we arrived at her house and

a couple of police cars pulled in after us, said Steve. They
came to take care of her dogs; a little while later, one of the
EMTs who was on the call pulled in to feed the dogs. I said,
does it get any better than that?
Although Steve and Wendy may be new in the community,
they arent strangers to running a restaurant. Steve has
worked in the supper club business since he was 11, where
he started as a dishwasher. The couple has also previously
owned Steves Wisconsin Club and Steves Coral Reef Supper Club in Rochester.
I thought, Ill be darned if Im going to be left out this
time, Wendy said. So we named it Wendys Stacker Cafe.
The restaurant, formerly known as Mae and Pippis Stacker
Cafe, was run by Mae Todd and Pippi Spletter throughout
2014, but the mother/daughter team had to give up the business in Cornell and return to their Thorp restaurant.
I didnt want to leave, but we needed to keep the Thorp
place running until we can sell it, Spletter said. We had a
wonderful run here; it was good to see all the old faces from
Jon Henrys and some new ones too. Im glad to see someone
step up and take over.
Steve visited the cafe for breakfast every day and says that
was
when he discovered the business was available.
Part of the decor at Wendys Stacker Cafe includes

box fill a clear glass lamp in the other.
Cortland stayed on to help us out on the weekends, said
(Photo by Ginna Young) Steve. And we kept the original Jon Henrys burger on the
menu in honor of Mae.
The menu also features
many of the Stacker favorites, such as biscuits and
gravy, the hash brown
omelet and a Friday fish fry.
Mae told me all her secrets and I got to cook with
her on Fridays, Steve said.
They were nice enough to
help us get going.
The cafe will be open
Tuesday through Thursday, 6
a.m. to 2 p.m.; Friday, 6 a.m.
to 9 p.m.; and Saturday and
Sunday, 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.
We hadnt planned on
staying here, said Wendy,
but everywhere we go to
Cornell Cub Scouts and their siblings attended the Polar Adventure at Cub get groceries or the gas staWorld in Haugen. They heard about outdoor cooking, fire building and winter tion the people are so
first aid. They also got to shoot BB guns and play winter games. Left to right, nice.
Were just happy to be
in front, are, Ryan Bowe, Ben Bowe, Zech Schmidt and Preston Fredrickson;
here. said Steve. We love
in back, are, Bridget Bowe, Carson Parker and Torren Parker.
