Cadott Elementary principal Jenney Larson, and veterans Larry Buttke, Jon Wojciechowski, Mike Riedel,
Bob Thorson and George Olinske, stand in the elementary gym by the Star Spangled Banner and Pledge

Its a topic thats been on the Lake Holcombe Town Board
agenda since it was first voiced at the annual meeting in
April, but its met another bump in the road.
Lake Holcombe residents Jackie McDaniel and Bob
Gamache have spearheaded a move toward comprehensive
planning in the town, and were nearing the next step, when
the board voted against including an informational letter with
residents taxes.

Cadott graduate inducted

in Hall of Heroes at Stout
Head-on collision in Cornell
On behalf of their brother, the late Naval Lt. Jerry John

Irwin, Diane Irwin Weggen (Stanley), Bob Irwin (Cadott),
Pat Irwin Gehrking (Burnsville, Minn.), and Tom Irwin (Hudson) participated in an induction ceremony at UW-Stout.
Jerry was inducted into the universitys Hall of Heroes Nov.
11, for his life given during his service to America.
Upon completion of high school in Cadott, Jerry served a
three year enlistment in the U.S. Navy, with the last two years
in Trainers at the Naval Air Station in Norfolk, Va.
After graduation from Stout in 1966, he rejoined the Navy
and went into flight training at Pensacola, Fla., winning his
wings as a naval aviator July 1, 1967, in Corpus Christie,
Texas.
Irwin joined his first squadron, VA-85, then boarded the
USS Independence (CVA-62) for Vietnam. Death came for
Irwin and his bombardier/navigator in a crash of their A6A
Intruder while flying a formation off the USSAmerica (CVA66) in the Caribbean Sea March 20, 1968.
The Hall of Heroes, dedicated in 1959, to Stout students
who have given their lives in service of their country, is located in the Memorial Student Center.

The Cornell Area Ambulance and Cornell Fire Department
were called to the scene of a two-vehicle crash east of Cornell
early Tuesday morning, Dec. 1. The accident happened on
State Highway 64 in front of Miles Ahead Auto Sales.
It was a head-on crash, said Denny Klass, fire chief. A
vehicle driven by Chad Miller (Cornell) crossed the center
line and ran head-on into Mariah Litke (Holcombe).
Klass said Litke wasnt hurt, but Miller was transported for
leg injuries by ambulance, with an intercept from Chippewa
City, to an Eau Claire hospital. Klass says Miller was bleeding pretty bad, but he wasnt sure on his condition.
The cause of the crash had not been disclosed as of deadline. Klass says he does not believe weather played a factor
in the 3:30 a.m. accident, even though conditions were kind
of bad and the fire department did block off Highway 64 for
a short time.
The Chippewa County Sheriffs record department says citations were issued for Miller, but did not say what those were.
Bob Irwin, Diane Irwin Weggen, Pat Irwin Gehrking

and Tom Irwin attended the induction of their late
brother, Naval Lt. Jerry Irwin, into the Hall of Heroes
at UW-Stout on Veterans Day. Jerry graduated from
Cadott High School and entered the U.S. Navy,
where he died while serving in 1968.

Involving parents and students in post high school

By Kayla Peche
Transitioning into the real world can be overwhelming
for high school graduates. Questioning what to do after graduation gets serious and must be decided. In order to help with
that transition, the Cornell School District administration says
they are trying to involve parents in the process more and
teach expectations for post high school.
Dave Elliott, high school principal, said at the Nov. 23 regular school board meeting, that Cornell starts first with sched-

Weve done a much better job over the last five years of
communicating the expectations to parents of what they need
to do to open the doors to post high school for their kids, said
Elliott.
Elliott says they have done things like accelerating students

senior year, they will be prepared. As a result of these efforts,

Cameras are my everything but they arent everything

By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
Ive always said its important to have a camera
with you at all times; I
even wrote a column
about it awhile back. In
fact, only on rare occasion have I been caught without a camera
since my mom always said, I wish I had my
camera. Since hearing that, I vowed to
never be without.
Now, four months into parenthood, rarely
do I have a camera with me (aside from the
13 megapixel on my phone that continually
takes blurry photos).
Its not that I dont want it with me, but
rather a diaper bag, personal bag and
20(ish)-pound baby with carrier gets a little
on the heavy side. Of course, I always have
my Canon on hand when going to work, but
other than that, its usually sitting in its case
waiting to be charged.
It was four years ago I got my Canon as a
Christmas gift, and since then, Ive rolled
over 10,000 pictures at least six times. After
adding a human to the family, my phone
camera has taken well over 2,000 photos.
But honestly, Im surprised it isnt more.
I love pictures. I always have and I always
will. I love taking them and I love looking at
them.
Frequently I find myself pulling up old
photos, not only digital, but flipping through
old albums of 35mm prints as well. It only
made sense when I joined the parent club
that I would want to capture every moment,
smile and silly face.
But I quickly learned that capturing those
moments isnt as easy as one would hope,
nor is it necessary.
The first smile, I missed. Chase was asleep
and in his dream about Im sure something
in the eating category, he cracked a half-grin

and my heart melted. I reached for the camera and waited for another, but it was too
late. He had a one-hit wonder and it wasnt
until his next nap that he would slowly grin
for a split-second again.
When he got old enough to keep his eyes
open, look around and be attentive, I had the
camera ready. But he didnt like it and the
click of the snapshot made him curl his lips
in disgust and look away, annoyed at his
mom. It was almost as if he was disappointed that I was more concerned with capturing the moment, than enjoying the
moment.
I put the camera down and voila, happy
baby.
Is this really my kid? How can he not like
the camera? But he must take after his dad,
who despises every moment I say, Hang on,
let me grab my camera.
Chase kept growing and I kept trying to
take pictures. Not just of milestones like
finding his hands, smiling and laughing, but
I was looking through a lens? How many

tongues sticking out did I not see because of
the delay on my phone? How many eye
twinkles were lost on me trying to reach for
a camera?
I will never know the moments I missed,
but I do know it wont be any more if I can
help it.
Capturing moments to look back on is important. Its hard to remember how little your
little one really was when they were born. Or
what their nose looked like just a month after
joining the world. And the sound of giggles
fades as time goes on, but one snapshot can
bring all that back in a heartbeat.
But dont miss out on those by trying to
not miss out on those. Sometimes, the best
moments are meant to be fleeting. A giggle
is meant to melt a heart, not bring out a cold
phone. A chubby cheek is meant to be
kissed, not hardened with the brightness of
a flash.
Babies need attention, love and snuggles,
not cameras in their faces.
Sometimes questions come up you dont want asked

By Ginna Young
There are times in
life mostly at Christmas when there are
questions that come up
you just cant answer and
dont want asked.
How do reindeer fly?
How does Santa fit down the chimney?
How does he make all those toys? How can
he visit all the kids in a single night? I was
good all year, why didnt he bring me that
real live tiger I asked for?
At those times, most adults swallow, look
wildly about for help and frantically change
the subject. The hardest part is that its in-

evitable, some day youll have to look at

their hopeful little faces and dash their spirits about what really goes on Christmas
Eve.
This year, I was asked a question I really
didnt know how to answer. Not because I
didnt want to crush any dreams or beliefs
(or have parents mad at me), but because I
honestly didnt know the answer.
Who owns the North Pole? I know its not
Santa, so who really does?
I opened my mouth, did my impression
of a fish gasping for air, looked at the ceiling hoping the answer was written up there,
shrugged and mumbled, dunno.
It bothered me I couldnt answer, and the
more I thought about it, the more I wanted
to find out. Who does own the North Pole?
If I remembered reading about it in
school, it didnt stick. Now where should I
look for information on the subject? Of
course, the Internet!
According to Wikipedia (and other
sources), under international law, no country owns the North Pole or the region of the
Arctic Ocean surrounding it. Five surrounding Arctic countries, the Russian Federation, Canada, Norway, Denmark (via
Greenland) and the United States, are limited to a 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone around their coasts, and the
area beyond that is administered by the International Seabed Authority.
While some claim American explorer
Robert E. Peary discovered the floating
land mass in 1909, others insist American
explorer Dr. Frederick A. Cook first set foot
on the frozen wasteland in 1908. Without
irrefutable evidence, it remains unclear
who actually receives the credit as the first
man on the pole.
The mass is the northernmost point on
earth and sits in the middle of the Arctic
Ocean covered with almost constantly
shifting ice floes. With temperatures of
minus 53 degrees in winter (not unlike Wisconsin), and no sun shining from December
through March (again, not unlike Wisconsin), its probably not the nicest place to
visit.
Added to that, there are no inhabitants at
the pole, except for a random polar bear
here and there, a few hardy bird species and
Santas little helpers.
Large scale sightseeing likely isnt in the
cards anytime soon, since its no easy feat
to travel to the land of the Midnight Sun,
although exploration has increased with
technological advances, most preferring to
land helicopters on the unstable platform.
Despite the instability and bitter temperatures, some countries continue to lobby
for rights to oil mining, which could have
a big ecological impact on sea life. According to an online source, experts are concerned about the consequences of an oil
spill, something that would be almost impossible to clean up with the conditions and
shifting location.
Some make the argument that drilling
could destabilize the mass even further and
perhaps hasten ice melt.
Makes one wonder if it wouldnt be better to let jolly old Saint Nick make his toys
for the good girls and boys, and find other
natural resources to tap.
Since Santa Claus has his workshop at
the North Pole, with all that in mind, it
leads one to believe Mrs. Claus is either a
saint or in hiding from the FBI. (On a side
note: If no one owns the North Pole, does
that mean Santa and his rosy-cheeked bride
are squatters? Or perhaps they claim imminent domain?)
Although my research didnt necessarily
make me feel better, it did put my mind to
rest, and if the question of who owns the
North Pole comes up again, Im ready.
Now, if I only knew the answer to, Where
do elves go to the bathroom?
Praise does wonders

for the sense of hearing.

Drugged drivers face severe punishments
From the WisDOT
Drivers who are impaired by drugs are a growing threat to
the safety of other roadway users, according to the federal
office of National Drug Control Policy.
To help combat that, Wisconsin law prohibits drivers from
having any detectable amount of a controlled substance in
their system, such as marijuana, cocaine or heroin, while operating a motor vehicle.
The legal consequences for drugged driving are the same
as for drunken driving, and law enforcement agencies are
constantly on the lookout for all forms of impaired driving.
Law enforcement officers have extensive training and experience in identifying drivers impaired by alcohol, says
Wisconsin State Patrol Lt. Adrian Logan. Officers use many
of those same procedures to identify drugged drivers. Drivers
who exhibit signs of drug use must submit to a blood test
Page
Refusing to submit to the blood test means an automatic revocation of the drivers license.
In addition to illegal drugs, the overuse and abuse of prescription or over-the-counter medications, especially when
combined with alcohol, often will impair driving ability and
judgment, says the WisDOT.
State law prohibits drivers from being under the influence
of any drug to a degree which renders him or her incapable
of safely driving or under the combined influence of an intoxicant and any other drug to a degree which renders him
or her incapable of driving safely.
Drivers under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or a combination of the two are deadly threats to everyone on the
road, says Logan. Thats why officers never take a break
even during the holiday season from arresting those who
choose to get behind the wheel while impaired.
Lake Holcombe Town Board Continued from front

This letter was to be put in the tax bill, said Brian Guthman, town supervisor, at the regular meeting Nov. 19. It says
to the residents of the town that there might be an advisory
referendum. We havent even decided if thats going to happen yet, so I guess that this letter kind of gets the cart before
the horse.
Don Crank, Lake Holcombe resident, said if the letter went
with the taxes, people might think the board supports comprehensive planning.
Ive already had a number of calls confronting me with
that issue, said supervisor Dave Staudacher.
I dont think that people are going to think that because it
says right in the letter that this was turned down before, said
McDaniel. And it just says several residents have come and
asked for the board to adopt it. So it does say pretty much
that it was not accepted by the board before.
Others at the meeting said implementing a plan like this
would cost the town more than just the initial price (minimum
of $30,000), and added expenses would come in for someone
to implement and enforce the new regulations.
In the letter compiled briefing residents on the plan, multiple benefits are listed, including promotion of economic development, promotion of inter-governmental cooperation and
protection of resources.
I understand where you guys are coming from but I understand where were coming from too, said McDaniel, after
discussion led to residents worried there wasnt enough education on the plan to vote on it. We do have a right to be
able to say some things about our own land too.
I think sometimes people that arent educated somebody
has to get educated when they go to vote so its the same kind
of thing with a referendum you have to go get yourself educated.
Carol Swanson questioned why McDaniel was pushing for
comprehensive planning. Why do you want this to happen?
I want to be able to say that I dont want to have a travel
trailer moving in next to me, or possibly it could be a
farmer said McDaniel.
Or a campground, interjected Gamache.
So what, said Swanson. Youre paying taxes on your
property.
After more discussion on tax changes, cost of comprehensive planning, and enforcement and liability, the board voted
to keep the horse before the cart and not include the letter
with the tax bill.
I dont want to put a letter in that says were going to have
a referendum if were really not going to have a referendum,
said Guthman. We cant do it on the agenda tonight, so I

move that at this point, we dont put any letter in the tax bill
we just work out some other ways of informing the people if
we do decide to go to referendum.
Discussion and voting on a spring referendum for comprehensive planning will be on the December agenda, with informational meetings planned after that point.
It will have to be discussed, said Sue Crank, Holcombe
resident. Theres no way that you can run something in without people knowing what theyre voting for. Or what the
good or the bad is.
Lions Jim Justus (left) and Robert Bayerl (right) deposit the first pair of glasses into the new deposit
box for used eyeglasses and hearing aids. The box,
located at the Lake Holcombe Lions pavilion, was repainted and decals were added to create a place that
will be accessible 24-7 to anyone who wishes to donate these items they no longer use. Glasses are
cleaned and repaired, then used to provide vision to
persons in third world countries. The Lions receive
credit toward new hearing aids for those in need
through their hearing program. Regular boxes will
still be available at other locations, and donations
may also be given to any Lion. (Submitted Photo)
Cornell School Board Continued from front

Elliott said ACTscores have gone up dramatically.
We are starting to see things falling into place, said Elliott.
Our main discussions are ways to open doors with some colleges around us. Not only for our four-year college bound students, but also for our technical students, because we want to
have all options available.
Paul Schley, superintendent, says doors are already beginning to open with a welding academy that will be offered in
Cadott. Cornell, Cadott, Stanley. CVTCadministration met,
and Schley says they can start this academy in a union, welding training building by SFR Industries.
Ive already met with a few students at the high school
who are interested in that, said Schley. They are going to
have to be interviewed to get into the program. Its not just a
hey you want to go, you can go, but another great opportunity for our kids.
Schley says there might be a grant to cover the cost, but no
matter what, the three schools say this is the right thing to
do for these kids.
Other grants discussed at the meeting were a distance learning grant from CESA10 and a UW-Eau Claire grant.
The distance learning grant will cover 50 percent of the
costs to update the distance learning room but Schley says he
is still debating if they will use the money toward that. He has
three years to decide.
I am trying to determine if having a distance learning room
is really the right answer with the way technology is today,
Schley said. So even though it would be half paid for, if its
not a good use of money, I just wont do it.
For the UW-Eau Claire grant, 27 of the 34 staff members

plan on going to Eau Claire for a week, with $500 for each
person toward the trip. The week will include learning about
reading strategies, brain research and general teaching strategies.
I was glad to see a lot wanted to go, said Schley. This is
a three year grant, so we will be doing stuff like that each year.
We are trying to do more things outside of school. Iknow
its always been a goal of ours in the past trying to see what
we can do for the kids and work with other institutions.

community, physician Erik Dickson, M.D.,
has accepted a position outside the Marshfield Clinic.
Dicksons last day of work at the Cornell
Clinic is Dec. 3, and a full-time physician
will take his place. During the transition, certified physical assistant Bradley Schauer,
along with support from Bloomer, Cadott

needs of Cornell for more than 20 years and
plans to continue their commitment to excellence for many more years.

Melvin Clarence Gass, 89,

Bloomer, peacefully passed
away Friday, Nov. 27, 2015, in
Bloomer.
Melvin was born in
Chippewa County, Oct. 17,
1926, to Joe and Gertrude
(Zinsli) Gass.
When Melvin was 6 months
old, his father left his mother,
never to return. Melvin and his
four brothers found themselves in the position of providing for the family from their Birch Creek farmstead.
He joined the U.S. Army, served as a company clerk and
was honorably discharged.
After the Army, Melvin went back to the family farm to
help his mother.
He married Patricia DeMars and they had three sons.
He started a small engine repair shop and marina in Holcombe with his brother, Russell, which he operated for several years. Later he started selling wood paneling out of his
patio from his home in Birch Creek.
Eventually he outgrew the patio, and started a lumberyard
in Cornell, that he and his sons ran for many years. The lumberyard business was very successful and folks would come
to buy materials from over a 50-mile radius.
Melvin had an exuberant personality and was liked by all
who met him. It was common for him to buy dinner and
drinks for total strangers at one of the area supper clubs on
Friday night fish fries.
Melvin, Pat and son, Robin, moved to Hot Springs, Ark.,
where Mel flipped houses before the phrase was invented.
He even got the attention of Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, and
continued to receive annual Christmas cards from Bill and
Hillary years later from the White House.
In the last few years, Melvins wife, Patricia, has lived at
Hetzels Care Center in Bloomer, while Melvin lived at their
Bloomer residence.
Melvin was visited frequently by relatives and friends. One
of his most loyal friends was his lady mail carrier, Lori Clark,
who regularly took care of his dog, Patsy.
He was preceded in death by his father, Joseph Gass;
mother, Gertrude (Zinsli) Gass; brothers, Lloyd Gass, Raymond Gass, Russell Gass, Urban Gass; and grandson,
William Jennings.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Patricia Esther (Demars) Gass; sons, Kelly (Lin), West Fork, Ark., Kim (Sue),
Portage, and Robin Gass, Chippewa Falls; grandchildren, Jeremiah (Ciara) Gass, Israel Gass, Zackary (Alysia) Gass, Brittney (Derek) Rush, Ashleigh Gass, Cortney (Christopher)
Atkinson, and Lesa Jennings, all of Arkansas, Todd Roy,
West Virginia, Chanon (Ron) Defilice, Maryland, Nicole (Jeremy) Ace, Wisconsin, and Jenni (Ryan) Day, Kentucky; 26
great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; as well
as numerous nieces and nephews.
Memorial services were held at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 29,
at Schriver-Thompson Funeral Home in Bloomer, with Father John Potaczek officiating. A private burial will be held
at a later date.
Visitation was from 2-3 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home.
A memorial luncheon at the funeral home took place immediately following the service.

Julia Wojtyna, 94, passed

away Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2015,
at Ladysmith Care and Rehab.
Julia was born to Joseph and
(Nellie) Tarnowski Nov. 2,
1921, in Conrath.
She married Joseph Wojtyna
Nov. 18, 1942, at the Polish
National Church, officiated by
the Rev. C. Paleszewski. They
were married for 61 years before he preceded her in death
July 2, 2004.
Julia was known in the neighborhood for always having
the coffee pot on and her homemade goodies.
She was a pioneer woman, out in the field during the summer, whether it was raking hay, picking up rocks or in the
barn milking the cows twice a day.
She baked her own bread, which her nephew, Stan, would
eat the heels the family would have to fight him for. She also
made great pierogies, especially the sauerkraut and mushroom ones.
She loved her cats and usually had one or two in the house.
Her plants and flowers were one of her pleasures.
Mom was a gentle, kind and loving person. Her life was
her family.
Rest in peace, Mom.
She is survived by her daughters, Marilyn (Arden) Thompson, Cornell, and Kathleen (David) Gygi, Cameron; grandchildren, Gregory Thompson, Scott (Jessie) Thompson, Brian
(Lynn) Gygi, Julie (Mike) McQuillan, Mark (June) Thompson, Joleen (Andy) Bauer and Dawn (Rick) Nikolai; greatgrandchildren, Luke Thompson, Ireland and Ledger
McQuillan, Dempsey and Lennon Bauer, and Autumn,
Emma, Camden and Paityn Nikolai.
She was preceded in death by her sisters, Wanda (Nitek)
Gauger and Diane Basile; brothers, Joseph Kowaleski, Anthony Wojtysiak and Stanley Wojtysiak Sr.
Services were held Friday, Nov. 27, at Nash-Jackan Funeral Home in Ladysmith. Burial was in the Conrath Cemetery.

Kick off Christmas

at Dixons Orchard
By Kayla Peche
As the countdown to Christmas continues, the Mullane
family will offer the community a way to celebrate, decorate and shop, with a Deck
the Halls with Dixons event
at their orchard.
Its going to be a lot of
fun, said Becky Mullane,
owner of Dixons Apple Orchard, 22404 20th Ave., Cadott.
Theres going to be a lot of activities
going on.
This May, the Mullane family planted their apple orchard,
but said they wanted to broaden their available products to
the off-season. Mullane says she enjoyed creating wreaths at
LaGrander Wreathing for the last two years, and saw potential for their business to do the same.
The family will open their wreathing workshop and wedding reception hall Sunday, Dec. 6, from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. for
a Christmas celebration. At the workshop, guests can specify
what kind of wreath they would like and how long they want
their garland. Mullane says they have a variety of greens
available and all of their workers will show how everythings
done.
Its going to be a neat time for families because the kids
will enjoy coming in and seeing how this stuff is all made,
she said.
There will also be hot cider and popcorn for guests to
munch on. The party will continue inside the reception hall,
where attendees have their choice of 10-15 craft vendors and
samples of treats.
Mullane said Consuming Fire Pizza is bringing their pizza
wagon, and Frosted Petals will sell cookies and provide samples of their cupcakes and cakes. In the bar area, Autumn
Harvest Winery will have samples of their wine, with bottles
for sale.
Santa is also visiting on Sunday and a live band will play
music. To top it off, Mullane said they will provide hayrides
to their Woodland Wedding venue.
Were going to have a fire going and they can make smores, Mullane said. They can kind of get a glimpse of
what we do as far as our weddings go. We just want to open
our place up as a warm welcome for Christmas.
Mullane says it is going to be a fun, family time, and that
she hopes to see a lot of people come out.
We love it ourselves, she said, and want to open up our
place for people to come in and enjoy.

Cornell exceeds expectations

By Kayla Peche
We werent expecting to be in that close of
a battle with them, said Cornell senior Elizabeth Sproul about the Nov. 24 game vs. Eau
Claire Immanuel. So I think realizing that we
have a chance to beat them really pushed us
to want to do that.
And push the girls did, as they brought the
10-point deficit to only five points at the end.
Sproul hit the final layups with assists from
sophomore Danielle Fasbender and senior
Siera Bauch, leading the Chiefs with 29
points.
Fasbender added 13 points for Cornell, as
she took control as point guard when senior

Lexi Moussette fouled out with about six minutes left in the second half.
Im not really liking the 18-minute halves
but its just something that Im going to have
to get used to, said Moussette. I think what
keeps me going is that I know I have to give
it the best I can do. Ive been playing basketball since fourth grade and I love it.
At three minutes, the Chiefs were down by
seven points, but the girls managed to inch
their way closer to the Lancers. With 15 seconds left on the clock, Cornell was only down
by a few points.
During a timeout, Marcus
Leland, head coach, called a
full-court press and Sproul
tipped the ball from her opponents hands, putting control
on the Chiefs side.
With five seconds left,
Cornell brought the end score
to 56-51 and despite the loss,
the girls say they were proud
of their efforts.
It was a fun game to play
in, said Sproul.
The Chiefs traveled to
Birchwood Dec. 1 for their
first East Lakeland Conference game of the season, followed by a game against New
Auburn Dec. 4.
I expect us to come out
ready to play as we open up
our conference play this coming week, said Leland. We
had two good learning nonCornell sophomore Kierra Walters looks to pass to conference games, where we
a teammate while an Eau Claire Immanuel player saw great improvement from
defends her at the top of the key. In a final-seconds game one to game two. I look
battle, the Chiefs fell to the Lancers by seven points to see us take another step
Nov. 24.

Chieftain girls start the season right

By Kayla Peche
The first game jitters were not a problem
for the Lake Holcombe Chieftains Girls Basketball team as they started the season with
a win Nov. 30, against Rib Lake.
We were all surprised in how we played,
said senior Bailey Viegut. The first game is
normally a little rough, but we all played
well as a team.
Lake Holcombe had an eight-point lead
against the Redmen in the first half, which
continued well into the closing minutes of
the game. Junior Hannah Lee was a top
scorer for the Chieftains with 13 points, including the final two points of the night.
Rib Lake gained on the Chieftains with a
few minutes left, and Lake Holcome was
called for arm fouls, but Viegut said the girls
Cadott Football All-Conference
slowed down and played smart.

Our defense was always our strong point
but now our offensive game has gotten a lot
better, she said, which is going to help us
get more wins this season.
As the clock wound down, Redmen Casey
Scheithauer received a technical foul after
running out of bounds and grabbing the ball,
when it was Lake Holcombes possession.
Because of the technical foul, Lee was put
on the line for the Chieftains and made both
free throws, ending the game, 42-37.
We have improved so much since last
year already, said Viegut. I think it should
be an exciting season for us.
Lake Holcombe girls continue at home,
hosting Bruce Dec. 1, Prentice Dec. 3 and
Cornell Dec. 8.

Gaining confidence with non-conference competition

By Kayla Peche
The Cornell Chiefs Boys Basketball team started their season with two non-conference home games. With 18-minute
halves and only seven players on the squad, the team focused
on keeping the tempo up throughout the entire game.
We just got tired and reverted back to some of our old bad
habits, said Shawn Schoelzel, head coach. Overall, we
played pretty well.
Nov. 24 vs. Eau Claire Immanuel (L 71-43, non-conference)
The Chiefs started the first half of the game down, but
close enough to put pressure on Eau Claire Immanuel Nov.
24. With four minutes left, Cornell gained a one-point lead
from a three-point shot by sophomore Noah Nohr.
Idont think we did too bad for our first game against a
really good team, said Cornell junior Colton Hetke, who put
up eight points against the Lancers.
Nohr was the lead scorer for the Chiefs with 18, but during
the second half was benched at nine minutes with four fouls.
Schoelzel said it was at the nine-minute mark when Cornell
was behind by only three points, but the team started to get
tired, giving up a lot of easy layups at the end of the game.
We didnt run our offense very well, said Hetke. And
we played lazy defense.
Schoelzel said with their lack of depth (only three-four
subs), Cornell fell into foul trouble with Nohr on the bench
and Levi Boehm, a starting senior, benched and eventually
fouled out.
In the second half, the Chiefs only scored 16 points to the
Lancers 43, ending the game with Cornells first loss, 71-43.
Nov. 30 vs. Thorp (L57-48, non-conference)
Three-pointers from the Thorp Cardinals kept Cornell behind Nov. 30, as the Chiefs lost the non-conference match up
at home.

First game shows

room to improve
By Kayla Peche
Aside from transitioning to 18-minute halves this season,
the Lake Holcombe boys basketball team struggled to transition from offense to defense Nov. 30, against the Rib Lake
Redmen.
Head coach Dave Engel said transitioning was an issue for
the Chieftains, as well as capitalizing on turnovers forced on
defense. But overall, he said it was a good first game.
Our offense and press were strong throughout the night,
he said. We had good spacing and great ball movement. We
were able to get good looks and get to the rim. Its early in
the season and shots werent dropping.
The Chieftains had 27 points in the first half, including 12
from junior Jeremiah Reedy and two three-pointers from
sophomore Trent Novak, but Rib Lake held a 10-point lead
throughout the entire game.
In the second half, Reedy says fouls kept the Chieftains out
of the game with three players only one foul away from fouling out. He said their available rotation kept players from
being benched during the game.
We felt like we could score when we wanted, but defense
killed us, said Reedy, who led Lake Holcombe with 23
points. We need to improve our shots at the rim to really
compete in our conference.
Novak and senior Nick Seng were also top scoring Chieftains with double digits, but Lake Holcombe fell in the nonconference battle, 82-64.
Lake Holcombe will host Prentice Dec. 3, and play their
first conference game of the season Dec. 8, against Cornell.
The story of the game last night was that every time we
got the game within two or three points, Thorp would knock
down a couple three-pointers to get their lead back up to
seven or nine, said Schoelzel.
The Chiefs couldnt get the stops or shots needed to pull
ahead of the game, and they lost 57-48 to the Cardinals.
Schoelzel said the scoring was still balanced, with Hetke,
senior Cortland Spletter and junior Trenton Glaus finishing
in the double digits.
Schoelzel says the team needs to improve after having 17
turnovers and only seven assists.
Our help defense was better last night, but now we need
to recover on the wide open three-point shooters faster, he
said. Thorp had eight three-pointers last night. That is hard
for teams to overcome, even though we had six.
Spletter said free throws were something he thought the
team needs to work on, finishing with four out of 16 as a
team.
We really need to make our free throws though, said
Spletter. That would have made it a whole different game.
We just need to get confidence back into our shots and we
should be right where we want to be.
Cornell will travel for East Lakeland Conference games to
New Auburn Dec. 4, and Lake Holcombe Dec. 8.

Kendra Seidlitz, 10, Jim Falls, shot her first deer Nov. 23, putting meat in the
freezer for her family. Although it wasnt a monster, it was still a buck, and
came after sitting 10 hours without seeing anything. Kendras mom, Stephanie,
says Kendra stayed positive, and she could tell she was nervous, but excited.
I was proud that she remembered all the rules, said Stephanie, noting
Kendra had made sure she had a clear shot and there was nothing behind the
deer, as well as handled her gun safely. She dressed it, tagged it, helped drag
it, skinned it and even helped process it. Stephanie says hunting has always
been fun, but getting to hunt with her daughter has topped any hunting experience shes had.

Down at the Lanes
Its a Girls Hunting Life

By: Monique Westaby
A Snapshow Day 1 1/2

It was opening morning of
gun deer season and I had never
seen a shooter buck on the first day of huntinguntil now.
The deer was on its way to my shooting lane and with only
a short window to make the shot, I steadied my gun on the
edge of my stand and looked through the scope.
It was on high power and everything looked like it was 10
inches from my face. I knew I didnt have time to adjust it
without losing my one chance at ending my season early, so
I left it as is and waited.
The antlers came into the sites first, and I watched the deer
slowly move into my crosshairs. Buck fever set in as I
squeezed the trigger, sites just behind the front shoulder. My
fever must have rose quickly, and the deer took off to the
north rather than dropping on the spot.
I pulled my bolt action back and put another shell into the
chamber. The gun was back at my shoulder and I watched
through the maxed-zoomed scope a blob of brown cut
through the thick brush. Unless it stopped, there was no way
to get another clean shot.
Leaves crunched and sticks broke as my buck continued
on his way to the lake bottom. He must have heard my heart
pounding and hands shaking, since he didnt seem to slow
his pace at all.
Hands still shaking, I waited for what seemed like a week,
but Im sure was more along the lines of five minutes. I
crawled out of my stand and made my way to where the deer
had been standing.
A small amount of blood, mixed with white hair, assured
me I had hit my target, but the lack of both concerned me
that it wasnt a very good shot. I pulled my phone out and
sent my husband a Snapchat of the blood and hair.
Immediately my phone buzzed with a reply text asking,
What you shoot!?!?
I told him a deer, but relayed the grim scenario of minimal
sign that it was a killing shot. He responded that if it was a
bad shot, to leave it until 9, an ENTIRE hour away.
Can you wait that long? he asked.
Maybe, I responded as I walked a little further into the
woods looking for blood (with no luck).
I sent a text
to my brother,
who told me to
wait until 10.
I pulled out
my phone and
updated my
Snapchat followers while
I waited for the
longest two
hours of my
life to pass.

An Outdoorsmans Journal By Mark Walters

Three Hunts in Paradise
Hello friends,
Twenty-seven falls ago, I started writing this column. Fifteen
years ago, I started hobby farming and became a very active
father.
Outdoor columnists and hobby farmers have one thing in
common a busy season that runs from the start of planting
season until the day Wisconsins deer gun season ends. I am
on the tail end of a whale of a busy season that beat the pulp
out of me physically, financially and sometimes even mentally.
This week, I am writing to you about my experiences in the
great outdoors the week before The Red Brush Gang makes it
to deer camp.
Monday, Nov. 16 High 44, Low 27
My 14-year-old daughter, Selina, has her very own food
plot. We both hunt it during the turkey season and it is all
Selinas for bow season, until today. We put a lot of time, sweat
and creativity into our alfalfa, corn, turnips and radishes.
The local deer population loves eating them, but as our trail
cameras and Selinas hunts have been revealing this fall, most
of the deer are in the plot after dark. The beauty of her food
plot is that she can hunt after school and the few weekends she
is home.
A typical bow hunt for Selina consists of becoming very
comfortable in her ladder stand and reading while watching
the world around her.
Today, I hunted the food plot for the first time this fall. As
soon as I was in the stand, a steady rain began that lasted for
36 hours. I did not see a deer until I climbed down from the
stand, and I was thoroughly busted when that happened.
Tuesday, Nov. 17 High 42, Low 35
A little 36-hour trip to deer camp for a duck hunt, a bow hunt
and to prepare a very large meal was next on my agenda.
The duck hunt was a 100 percent mind-over-matter issue. It
was pouring out, extremely
windy and I had to paddle
my canoe a good mile to
duck paradise.
In the 80s and 90s, I had
Teds Timber
Lodge & Resort
some pretty good duck hunts on what is a flowage for a cranberry marsh. It has been probably five years since I paddled a
canoe on it and the last few hunts did not require many shotgun
shells.
Back in the day, when I called hunting camp home for a hundred days each fall, I used to ice skate and cross-country ski
on this flowage while fishing with tip ups.
Today, my paddle was into the wind, my (Selinas) golden
retriever, Fire, did not seem too into the adventure and after
half an hour of pulling a heavy load with my arms, I jumped
out of the canoe and started setting decoys.
I had lent my pair of chest waders I chose to wear today to
a young beaver trapper, and had no idea they were toast until
I felt cold reality as they filled with water.
I did not see a single duck. I did see ample amounts of
muskrat sign and paddled back to my truck. Then, it was off
to camp where I peeled an entire 6-gallon bucket of potatoes
and created a big-time meal for the first night of deer camp.
Wednesday, Nov. 18 High 46, Low 37
Everyone has their own version of deer camp and mine is
an 18x36 foot portable pole barn put on public land each November, then taken down the last day of deer gun season.
I love it here and actually say that to myself when I am at
camp alone. Today, I cooked, drank coffee, then headed to the
woods for a 3/4 mile hike with a bow and arrow, and a tree
stand. In Wisconsins central forest, if you strap on hip boots
and hike in, you have bow hunting all to yourself.
As usual, I was running late on the sun clock, which was actually blocked by clouds. My stand is where I have seen some
beautiful bucks this year, and after hanging it, I climbed down
to get my bow. Something was missing all five of my arrows.
I had traveled through some dense brush and began backtracking. Naturally, my arrows were at the very beginning of
my hike.
Hunting is certainly not always about dropping ducks and
harvesting bucks. I love this place.

Coming Events
Cadott/Crescent News
By Shirley Vlach 715-289-3846
There is frost on the roofs this morning, and rain and wind
for the hunters over the week.
Deepest sympathy to the Peter A. Sedlacek family.
There was a widows ball at MCB Bar and Grill with DJ
Kramer.
Turkey BINGO was held at Halfway.
A womans day was enjoyed at Crescent Bar and Grill.
Family and friends gathered at Jim and Linda Dahms for
Thanksgiving dinner and socializing.
Thanksgiving was served at a number of restaurants.
People visited the residents at the Grandview and
Southridge Apartments.
Hope the special people this month were well-remembered
for anniversaries and birthdays.
Many people went black Friday shopping and some people
went on Thanksgiving.
Holcombe Happenings
By Janice Craig 715-595-4380
Several people from the area attended the Green Bay Packer
game Thanksgiving Day. I thought the Packers were going to
pull it out at the end, but no such luck.
The weather changed the plans of many in Holcombe on
Thanksgiving Day. Freezing rain the night before, and along
with snow around 11 a.m., made roads treacherous, so many
decided to stay home and eat out of the freezer.
Norma Severson entertained over a dozen people Saturday.
Oakley and Janice Craig drove to Winona, Minn., Saturday,
to celebrate Thanksgiving. I couldnt help noticing the smoke
in the valleys near Arcadia. With the cold weather, everyone
had stoked their wood burners. It was so good to see our grandchildren, and hear all the plans they have for their futures.
I have been wondering if some early ice fishing is going on
in the back bays.
I havent heard one gun shot in our area, but I am sure some
of the hunters were lucky.

Spring Alixs 4K
Cadott 4K teacher Spring Alix says this year has had an amazing start, and her students have accomplished and learned so much. The class has worked on letters, letter sounds, numbers and writing their
names. They have also worked on various aspects of math, literacy and writing. Students went on two
field trips already, including Niblett's Apple Shed and Klinger's Farm Market. It is amazing to see how
much we have accomplished, said Alix. And we are going to work hard to accomplish even more. We
are very excited to see what the rest of the year is going bring. Go Hornets!
