Cornell City Council
Council seat left vacant after resignation
By Ginna Young
A chair sits cold in the Cornell City Council Chambers
after mayor Judy Talbot announced the resignation of council member Jim Hodowanic at a regular meeting March 3.
Hodowanic did not give a reason for vacating his council
seat, stating simply in a letter that he was stepping down.
According to city ordinance, the council must appoint
someone to fill the position for the remainder of Hodowanic’s term through April 2017.
“It’s up to you, your decision as to how you’d like to proceed with doing it,” said Talbot to the council. “Do you want
to open it to the public and ask for someone willing to step
in? Do you have someone you’d like to appoint?…What
would you like to do?”
Because council member Mark Nodolf was absent for the
meeting, the board agreed to hold off on a decision until the
next regular meeting Thursday, March 17.
“It should be a full council decision, not something that is
done quick,” Talbot said.
Anyone who would like their name in consideration for
the open spot can contact Talbot.
On other agenda, council members voted to hire CBS
Squared Inc. to prepare a wastewater treatment facility plan
not to exceed $13,600. After interviewing prospective companies at a closed session finance committee meeting Feb.
22, committee members recommended the civil engineering
and architectural firm.
As a notice to the public, city administrator Dave DeJongh
reported that city residents will have access to high speed
internet and on demand once Charter follows through with
plans to build a fiber optic line into Cornell. The project is
scheduled to be completed in June, and will offer “less hiccups” when streaming movies or music.
“Anything available in Eau Claire will be available in
Cornell,” said DeJongh. “That’s encouraging.”
Cadott Village Board
Water run-off issues dry up after two years
By Kayla Peche
A water drainage problem between the Cadott School
District and the Cadott Village Board has been discussed
since October 2014, but now the conversation is closed and
action will be taken.
The issue came forward after water run-off by the railroad tracks flowed through school property (behind the
elementary school), into a culvert that crosses East Mills
Street and onto residential property.
At the March 7 regular village board meeting, Anson Albardo, president, says the water drainage hasn’t been an issue this year, but the winter was mild and the water issue
still needs to be addressed.
Prior to the meeting, Albarado met with school board officials and their engineering team to find a solution to the
problem. A water study conducted by the school concluded
that the north ditch should be cleaned out to the existing
culvert, and the culvert should be replaced to flow straighter. Albarado says this will push the run-off farther south.
“My suggestion – tell us where you want the culvert and
we’ll dig it out and put a culvert on the road,” said Albarado. “The rest they should be able to do.”
The village would be responsible for replacing the 26inch concrete culvert, which is currently at a slight angle,
with a 30-inch plastic culvert that will be lowered 12 inches.
The board approved replacing the culvert and says they
will only fix the issues that directly affect the village.
“We are using taxpayers dollars,” said Albarado. “We’re
not going to do it on private property.”
The board approved member Terry Licht to relay the
message to the school board, so the area can be re-ditched
before the culvert goes in.
“Clean your ditch out, get it re-aligned and tell us when
you’ll have it done, and right away we can come in,” Albarado said as a message for the school board.
On other agenda, the village board discussed purchasing
a new skid steer on a leasing program agreement.
Rolly Tichy, public works director, set up a budget to buy
a skid steer on a roll-out program. The cost would be $2,000
per year with 200 hours of labor available. Each year, the
machine would be traded for a new one.
“The hours usage would not be a problem,” said Licht.
Charles Sedivy, board member, says filters and tires
shouldn’t need to be changed during the year, which will
lower maintenance costs.
“You are pretty near giving it back the way you got it,”
Sedivy said.
The board tabled the purchase of the skid steer until
Tichy has the lease agreement completed and in writing for
the board to review.
“He (Tichy) wanted to see all the details first,” said Licht.
Cadott fifth grader Jackson Jaenke made his 200th
deposit into the school banking program with Citizen’s State Bank and Cadott Elementary School.
He is the third student to reach this milestone
since the program started.

Discussion addresses
workforce concerns
By Kayla Peche
“There’s work out there for us,” said William Jenneman,
owner of A+ Machine LLC, Cornell. “We can grow as far as
workload goes, but we can’t grow because we don’t have the
personnel to be able to do it.”
Jenneman was one of several business leaders in Chippewa County who shared their job growth struggles at a March
1 Chippewa County Economic Development Corporation
(CCEDC) roundtable discussion. The conversation was held
at Mule-Hide in Cornell, with main speaker, Secretary of
the Department of Revenue Richard Chandler, talking about
what the state is doing to help grow jobs and grow Wisconsin.
Charlie Walker, president/CEO of CCEDC, hosts these
monthly discussion groups to allow networking and dialogue between residents and government officials.
“We focus on business retention, advocacy, entrepreneur
start-up and recruiting businesses to Chippewa County,”
Walker said of CCEDC, who invited Chandler to speak on
Wisconsin’s economic standing.
A+ Machine’s issue isn’t just local, and Jenneman says
the amount of workers available in the manufacturing industry (a large contributor to Wisconsin careers) is limited.
Jenneman says his company does use on-site training, but it
takes time to complete, only allowing one or two new employees per year.
Chandler says the state has developed education initiatives and workforce training to push the unemployment rate
down, and has helped individuals further their education and
employment in Wisconsin.
“We want students to think about making their careers
here,” he said. “We are aware of the things to do to market

A community none the wiser to an everyday addiction
By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
For nearly a century it
has captivated our attention. Like a slow moving
cancer, it has taken over
96 percent of American
lives (according to the
New York Times). There seems to be only
one cure for this addictive drug, but not
many are willing to take that step.
It creeps into our homes a little at a time,
starting out free with only an hour here and
an hour there. Then it pulls us into its grips
with catchy phrases, flashy headlines and
unyielding cliffhangers. It has no age limit
and nobody is immune to its death grip. We
wind up paying hundreds, even thousands
of dollars a year to support our habits and
“get our fix.”
Not only has it stolen our attention, it’s
taken dinner and family time, and tossed
them out the window.
What started out as a simple invention
has mutated into what we now know as
“the television” (or idiot box if you ask my
grandma).
Originally, the mechanical device featured a picture no larger than a business
card and showed “images of living human
faces…with complete tonal graduations of
light and shade,” according to tvhistory.tv.
It wasn’t until the 1930s that the sets began to look more like what we know today,
evolving into huge flat screen sets, some
over 80 inches.
Following World War II and the surplus of
money that followed, the television quickly became integrated into homes around
America. It was then that America began
to see a decline in the quality of home life;
unbeknownst to those of the future.
Family entertainment has gone from

Guy and The Bachelor. Life lessons like
telling the truth and not stealing have been
replaced with who can win the most and
wear the least. While these have played a
huge role in desensitizing our world (another topic for another time), what TV in
general (including all shows) has done to
family life is shameful.
How often does dinner get served without
the TV on? Do people get the full attention
they deserve, or is it split with watching this
week’s new episode? Does family game
night involve board games and laughter, or
is there always a glowing distraction in the
background?
We blame phones and technology for losing out on the world around us, sneering at
those teenagers who can’t seem to put their
cell down, but nobody wants to consider
the TV as responsible for missing precious
family moments.
Someone mentions they don’t have a television set, or we have a grandparent who
never turns theirs on, and we wonder what
planet they are from. Maybe it’s time more
of us moved to that planet with them.
I’ll be the first to admit that TV is an
addiction; and a hard one to beat. You get
home from a long day at work, turn on the
set and get lost in some no-brainer show
while your mind turns to mush. The only
cure is to just turn it off, but that’s a hard
pill to swallow when it has become such a
staple in nearly every American’s life.
At my house alone we have three TVs
– one in the living room, kitchen and bedroom. None of them get used as much as
they did before I became a parent.
As a teenager, I had to watch my shows.
As a young married adult, I had to watch
my shows.
If anyone interrupted me, my eyes either
glazed over and I was immune to my surroundings, or they turned bright red and
smoke came out of my ears, daring anyone
to try talking to me again before a commercial.
As a new mother, I wouldn’t dare miss
a fleeting moment of my child’s life for
something as unimportant as a TV show.
You see, the funny thing about television,
it can be watched later. Eventually that
show or movie will come out on DVD, or
be replayed until you know every line by
heart.
But the funny thing about life, you don’t
know when there will be a later. That later
might last an entire lifetime, or it might end
that night. The only guarantee is that you
have the moment you are in right then, is it
really worth wasting on something that can
be watched later?
Don’t get me wrong, we still have the TV
on a lot, and we still eat dinner in front of
it, but after seeing everything that can be
missed because I couldn’t keep my eyes off
a movie I’ve already seen 20 times, all of
our sets have been off more than they’ve
been on.
A baby’s giggle is here and gone before
you know it, and wanting to know who
made it to the next round or whodunnit can
wait.
Tonight, turn off the TV and have a conversation with your family. When there are
600 channels and nothing to watch anyway, your entertainment might just be some
quality family fun.
Admitting you have a problem is the first
step, and laughter is the best medicine; you
don’t need Dr. Phil to tell you that.
Isn’t vacation supposed to be stress free?
By Heather Dekan
I’ve gotten pretty used
to taking my kids places
and doing things with
them by myself, but this
is one big milestone I’m
not sure I’m ready to take
on by myself. Vacation.
After my divorce, it was a huge lifestyle
change going from having someone there to
help with the kids in every aspect of life, to
doing it all on my own.
Over time, I got used to it – taking them

or just being at home without even a 5 minute break.
When I moved out on my own, it was
all up to me. There was no more help with
making meals, cleaning or driving the kids
wherever they needed to go.
It was very overwhelming at first, but
as doing things myself became routine, it
wasn’t a huge deal anymore. I was more
exhausted than I had ever been, but it was
worth every second.
Well, it’s been a tradition for the past five
years or so to take my kids to Wisconsin
Dells. Last year was the first year I didn’t
have their dad to help out, but we made it a
big family trip, bringing my mom, brother
and sister-in-law. I had their help if I needed
it.
This year is different.
What started out as another big family trip
turned into just me and the kids going. We
leave in four days (I wrote this early) and
my nerves are already getting the best of
me.
It’s not even the big things that are bothering me, but the smallest things. I always had
someone to help carry our luggage, snacks,
coolers and kitchen sink (I tend to overpack)
up to our room. Not this year.
I told my kids last week that they would
need to step up and help mom out this vacation. I brought up the luggage issue, and my
7-year-old son said, “Well mom, I am the
man of the house now, so I will just carry
everything up for you girls.”
As sweet as that was, it’s just not feasible.
My kids are totally capable of doing
their fair share of helping, but I’m pretty
sure I spoiled them rotten when they were
younger and they have come to expect everything to be taken care of for them.
Being away from home, in a different
town with a ton of people I don’t know, and
being an overprotective mother, I am a nervous wreck.
Having an extra set of hands and eyes
to watch over the kids was always a good
thing; now it’s all up to me. That’s not including having someone there to carry the
cash or have an extra key in case I forget
mine, (which is going to happen because
I already have a bad case of sometimers).
I have lists upon lists of what needs to get
packed. Before, I had someone to go over
that list before we walked out the door.
On top of my nerves, two out of my three
kids have been sick with the stomach flu.
(This happens every year the week before
we go.)
Add packing, shopping, trying to get the
house cleaned and laundry done before we
leave, plus work and every other daily thing
that still needs to be done, and my mind is a
tangled mess.
Maybe I’m making too much of it, and
will see that when we actually get down
there. Or maybe I’m downplaying it and I’m
going to be more stressed out than I think
I already will be.
All I know is I’m ready to take a few days
off of work, get out of town for awhile and
watch my kids have fun.
And who knows, maybe I will let my kids
carry up all the luggage as I sit and watch,
knowing everything else falls on my shoulders after we step foot into that waterpark.

Taking legislation across the finish line
By Sen. Terry Moulton
As the legislative session comes to a close, many bills the
legislature has worked on are headed toward the finish line.
This week, Gov. Scott Walker signed over 100 bills into law,
including eight I authored.
All eight of my bills passed with overwhelming bipartisan
support. These new laws support our sporting heritage, cut
red tape for food processing plants and help manufacturers
deal with state regulations. I’d like to take a moment to highlight some of them.
As a sportsman, I am always eager to support legislation
that helps our sporting economy. I serve as co-chair of the
Sportsman’s Caucus, a bipartisan group of legislators dedicated to Wisconsin’s outdoor heritage.
Senate Bill 289 eliminates a costly and unnecessary requirement for Wisconsin hunters. Prior to this bill becoming
law, when the DNR issued a deer hunting license, they also
required hunters to wear a tag on their back while hunting.
These tags could be difficult to see from a distance, and were
noisy and costly. Senate Bill 289 will bring Wisconsin in line
with 48 other states that do not require back tags.
One of the most important industries in our area is food
processing, and Senate Bills 512 and 513 eliminate unnecessary regulations that burdened food and meat processors.
Senate Bill 512 will help food processors who work with
dairy products, by guaranteeing a plant that has a food processing license will not be required to hold an additional
license to process dairy products that have already been
treated to ensure safety in prepared foods. Prior to this bill
becoming law, producers of foods that contain dairy had to
pay for food and dairy processing licenses.
Senate Bill 513 will help Wisconsin meat and poultry processors sell their products to other states. Before this bill was
signed into law, state-inspected meat and poultry businesses
in Wisconsin were required to go through extra inspections
to ship their products to other states.
This law will reduce the expensive and time-consuming
burden of regulation, by lining up our state meat inspection
Spring road restrictions
From the WisDOT
The WisDOT has announced the frozen road declaration
has ended, and the Spring Thaw and Class II road restrictions are now in effect statewide.
Class II roads include about 1,400 miles of state highways
susceptible to damage from heavy trucks during the spring
thaw period as frost leaves the ground.
Declaration of Spring Thaw also means suspension of
most divisible load overweight permits throughout the state.
Permit numbers beginning with the following two-letter
codes will be suspended until further notice: AC, AG, FF,
MI, PB and RF. If the permit number begins with GG, contact the WisDOT Permit Office.
During Spring Thaw, liquid milk product may not be
transported overweight under the non-divisible load permit
beginning with AA. More information on overweight permits can be found on the WisDOT website.
County highways, town roads, and city and village streets
may also be posted or limited to legal load limits or less.
Decisions to place or lift weight restrictions on those roads
are up to local units of government.
program with the federal Cooperative Interstate Shipment
Program, which allows sales of state-inspected meat products across state lines. This law also simplifies the regulatory oversight necessary to sell products from more recently
popular animal species like bison and llamas, saving hourly
inspection fees for Wisconsin meat and poultry processors.
Another bill I authored, Senate Bill 372, will help open an
important market for Wisconsin manufacturers. The Canadian market for factory-built housing units made in America
has been strong in recent years. Unfortunately, because of
specific Canadian requirements, Wisconsin manufacturers
have been unable to transport these homes on Wisconsin
highways without special permits.
Senate Bill 372 will adjust the single trip permit requirements for these loads to ensure manufacturers of factorybuilt homes can transport modular and mobile homes within
our state and abroad.
While media usually focuses on conflict and disagreement in Madison, I’m more interested in the work we can
accomplish together in a bipartisan way to move Wisconsin
forward. The vast majority of bills passed this session had
support from both parties.
I am confident these laws will help sportsmen, farmers
and local businesses throughout the 23rd Senate District and
Wisconsin. In the race to the finish this legislative session,
I am happy to say several of my legislative proposals were
able to complete the marathon.

this state.”
Bruce Barker, president of Chippewa Valley Technical
Colleges, says technical schools are still suffering enrollment and funding decreases, losing 2-5 percent enrollment
each year.
“We have a larger demand than we’ve had at any other
time,” said Barker of the manufacturing industry. “Our graduates right now have five-seven job offers waiting for them.
Our biggest problem is pushing people through the system
and getting them out.”
Blane Christman, of Christman Dental LTD, Chippewa
Falls, said the state should put more toward funding degrees
with higher-priced supplies to help colleges push students
through. As an example, he said the price of supplies for
a welding student is more than supplies for an accounting
student.
Christman also said his office has increased employment
because of schools that implement college training during
high school, making it easier for students to start their careers right away.
“There are kids who don’t know what they want to do in
school, but the ones who are really focused, you can almost
give them a concurrent diploma with a two-year education
degree,” said Christman.
Chandler says the Future Wisconsin Project is researching
trends to determine how the state can flourish in 10-20 years.
The project studies migration trends, tourism, and how to
keep families and workers in the area. He says to make Wisconsin more appealing, the Walker administration has tried
to decrease the tax burden.
“We all know Wisconsin’s a great place to live, a great
place to do business,” says Chandler. “But historically,
we’ve had a reputation for being a high tax state.”
In 1994, Wisconsin was third for the highest taxes in the
U.S., but now the state is 15th and plans to bring it down
more. But, he says the state is making headway by cutting
middle-class income tax rates, creating a larger amount of
reductions and credits for individuals and small business
owners, and helping people cut costs.
“We don’t necessarily want to be the lowest taxed
state, but definitely want to be somewhere in the
middle,” Chandler said. “We’ve put a lot of emphasis (on
taxes) and made progress. I think we’ll improve even further.”
Traffic violation fines double in work zones
From the WisDOT
On city streets, county roads and major highways, drivers will see an expanse of orange barrels and other signs
indicating road construction and maintenance projects are
underway. During the road construction season, drivers will
again face the challenge of safely maneuvering through
work zones.
“Driving through a work zone requires patience,” said
Capt. Gerald C. Voight of the Wisconsin State Patrol. “Work
zones are dangerous under the best of circumstances, but
your reaction time and margin for error are reduced significantly if you speed, tailgate or don’t pay attention to rapidly
changing traffic situations.”
Voight says in work zones, workers and equipment often
operate within a few feet of traffic, and that work zones frequently have narrow lanes, merge lanes from side roads, and
rough or uneven pavement.
“Rear-end collisions are the most frequent type of crash in
a work zone, and while construction workers are at a great
risk of being hit, about three out of four people killed in
work zone crashes are motorists,” says Voight.
To prevent crashes and save lives, fines for traffic vio-
lations in work zones are double the usual amounts when
workers are present. Posted work zone speed limits are still
in force even when workers are not present.
The cost of speeding in a work zone ranges from $213
for 1-10 mph over the limit, up to $893 for 45 mph or more
over the limit. Three-six demerit points will also be added to
driving records for violations.
“State patrol officers are specifically assigned for traffic
enforcement in work zones, and they may be supported by
officers in airplanes monitoring work zones,” says Voight.
“Their mission is to protect both workers and motorists in
work zones, by strictly enforcing posted speed limits and
other traffic laws.”

Tales of our Beginnings
Cadott • Cornell • Lake Holcombe areas
The Cornell School, with 13 children, was founded in a blacksmith shop building (near State Bank) in 1907/08 under the direction of Miss Fluery and Miss
Anna Butler. Fluery married before the end of the school year, so Butler taught
the remainder of the year. At that time, women had to be single to teach.
A school was built in 1908/09. Butler (with Mrs. August Stoll) taught, and enrollment varied between two and 28 students. As Cornell’s population increased,
the school became too small to accommodate all the children, so some were
schooled at other locations, like Thomas Hall, the Variety Store, Schultz house,
village hall and above
the furniture store.
In 1912/13, a new,
white school was built
– a one-room schoolhouse. In late 1919,
another part was added

In her first year coordinating the Cornell Community Easter Egg Hunt at the Cornell Area Care Center, life enrichment director Laura Odness says she looks forward to the
crowds that will come for the annual hunt March 19.
“They’ve counted multiple hundreds of people here in
previous years,” said Odness. “I think it’s really going to
be neat to see the children being able to interact here. The
residents are really looking forward to it.”
The Easter Bunny will again make an appearance, and
along with the kids games (10-11 a.m.) and pancake breakfast (9-11 a.m.), the center plans to add face painting to the
lineup of activities.
Nearly two weeks before the event, Odness says residents
are already “gearing up” to help stuff Easter eggs with candy
and small prizes for the 11 a.m. hunt. The activity will be
divided into two age groups – 5 and under, and 6 to 10-yearolds.
Donations from area businesses go toward funding the
day, except the pancake breakfast, which has a fee to help
pay for costs.
“We’ve been having lots of donations come in,” says
Odness. “It’s been very exciting to have our businesses donate locally to this cause.”
Dona Biles adds laughter to her hand of tic during
Cornell Senior Center Cards March 1. The seniors
meet every Wednesday from 1-2 p.m., and sometimes go out to eat after get-togethers. Biles said
they wish more would join their card parties to play

Although there was no seating for awhile, things slowed down later in the morning, giving firefighters
a break. But the break didn’t last long, as a fire call sent several of them to check on smoke in the
laundry room at the Cornell Area Care Center. The smoke was found to be the result of a belt that had
“burned up on one of the washing machines.” Also shown, left to right, are Terry Hakes, Matt Boulding,

Ladysmith High School Auditorium
Tickets - $15 adult, $3 students for this performance.
(As always, students under 18 are free with paid adult)
Tickets are available at the door.
This performance is sponsored by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board,
by the National Endowment for the Arts and our loyal ticket holders.
The Community Foundation of Chippewa County has
announced that $274,620 will be distributed in grants and
distributions this year, going to local communities throughout Chippewa County. Of that amount, several discretionary grants will specifically benefit the Cornell and Lake
Holcombe area.
Communities United in Education Inc. (CUIE) –
Lego-Robotics, STEM After School funding will be used
to purchase a Lego EV3 core set. The set includes software
and classroom packs to be used by students in the After
School programs to build “machines” using STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) curriculum. All
kits will be shared with the Cornell and Lake Holcombe
After School programs.
Boys Scouts of America – Cornell-Lake Holcombe Empowered Leadership project funding provides youth with
the opportunity to explore their leadership potential with
instruction and activities focused on leadership styles, team
building, communications, ethical decision making, problem solving, personalities and conflict resolution.
West Wisconsin Land Trust – Sampson Township
funding will be used to develop two primitive campsites
for those who value the camping and hiking experience in
Chippewa County. The site is adjacent to the Ice Age Trail
and provides access to the trail.
The foundation has also announced that seven Chippewa
County schools and 16 projects received funding from the
Northwestern Bank school mini-grant program in 2016.
Since 2004, Northwestern Bank has provided funding for
mini-grants to be awarded to third through eighth-grade
teachers in the public and private schools throughout Chippewa County.
Cornell and Lake Holcombe schools received grants
from the Northwestern Bank school mini-grant program.
The Cornell Middle School received funding for student
driven video projects, which will provide an additional
video camera for students to use for project presentations.
It will give students the ability to create videos, newscasts
and game shows in a video form as an alternative assessment.
In Lake Holcombe, funding will be used to purchase a
Sabaki Game Set to promote physical fitness by providing
a “fun and fast-paced game” to students in fifth-12th grade.
Lake Holcombe Schools also received funding to provide
seventh and eighth-grade students with hands on outdoor
projects to stimulate their appreciation of natural resources.
For the Digital Magic Slate project, Lake Holcombe received a mini-grant to purchase 8 1/2 inch Boogie Boards,
which will be used by students to take notes or practice
math facts and spelling words. The foundation says the
third-grade class, along with students in the After School
Program, will benefit from these reusable tablets.
The Community Foundation of Chippewa County manages over $14 million in assets and is the steward of over
210 funds created by individuals, families, organizations
and businesses for charitable investment. Annually, distributions are based on a portion of investment earnings from
Endowment Funds and other gifts received.

A tale as old as time, as told by Cadott students
By Kayla Peche
It’s a tale as old as time, true as it can be. Most know the
tale of Beauty and the Beast, but the Cadott Drama Club
will put their own spin on it for their fourth-consecutive year
performing a musical.
“Beauty and the Beast Jr. is a fantastic show geared for
people of all ages,” said Terra Goff, musical director and
choir instructor. “The story of Beauty and the Beast centers
on several important morals, such as to never judge a book
by its cover, for beauty is found within.”
3649
“Prevea is leading the
way, doing incredible
things to get people to
a healthier life.”
— Aaron Rodgers
You may have heard there’s a new face in Cornell called Prevea Health. What you
might not have heard is that Prevea has time-honored ties to two of our community’s
biggest pillars: HSHS Sacred Heart and St. Joseph’s hospitals. Together, they’re
making our health care stronger and better. And many local doctors are also now
part of Prevea, so you have faces you know, providing the best care close to home.
The story is of Belle, a young woman, and the Beast, a
young prince trapped under a spell. If the Beast can learn to
love and be loved, the curse will end and he can transform
into his former self. But time is running out, and if the Beast
doesn’t learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be
doomed for eternity.
Under the direction of Goff and high school english teacher Greta Schultz, students have been working on the musical
since auditions in early January.
“There has been a tremendous amount of time, effort and
creativity put into this production,” Goff said. “The students
here at Cadott hold themselves to very high standards and
will give the audience a show to remember.”
This is Goff’s fourth time directing at Cadott. She was
also part of two productions and a female lead while in high
school. Schultz is a first-time director, but starred in the
Werewolf’s Curse or Hair Today Gone Tomorrow her senior
year of high school.
Cadott eighth grader Kylie Berg, who plays the enchantress, said this year’s musical stands out because students
of all ages, from fourth grade to seniors, are performing or
working in it.
“Everyone is super nice and funny,” said Berg. “Ms. Goff
put it together perfectly. It’s just so well put together and we
had to make our own choreography, so the director didn’t
do it all.”
Students also designed the costumes and set for the musical.
Cadott sophomore, Jolene Zempel, who helped paint
backgrounds, says rehearsals are going “pretty good,” and
her favorite scene, that the audience should look forward to,
is the castle scene.
“The background we painted for it looks pretty sweet,”
said Zempel.
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jr. will have two performances, March 18 and 19, at 7 p.m., in the Cadott High
School auditorium. Tickets may be purchased at the door.
The cast includes narrator, Elizabeth Mickelson; prince/
Beast, Gilbert Walthers; old woman/enchantress, Kylie
Berg; Belle, Julianna Poulda; Gaston, Riley Rudnick; Lefou,
Brianna Welch; silly girls, Jordan Gilles, Emily Malecki and
Madison Stai; Maurice, Kyle Helminski; Cogsworth, Monica Cartagena; Lumiere, Kaylee Rudnick; Babette, Jozlynn

Cadott basketball builds each other up
By Kayla Peche
The Cadott Hornets Boys Basketball
team’s season might be over this year,
but not without a fight against Spring
Valley March 1.
“They played well last night,” said
head coach Brandon Mittermeyer. “The
shots just didn’t fall even though we got
each other into position and good looks
at the basket. I am very proud of their
effort.”
The Hornets brought the Cardinals to
a 25-25 tie at halftime, sending the team
into a nail biting second half. Junior
Bryce McChesney led Cadott with 13
points, while his classmate, Drew Sonnentag, and sophomore Matt Drilling
each earned nine.
As the final minutes raged on, Cadott
missed just a few more baskets than
Cornell junior Colton Hetke sends a pass to the
corner in a game at home against Cadott Jan. 11.
Although Hetke had several three-pointers on the
night, the Hornets jumped to a large lead early,
with a final score of 77-51. (Photo by Ginna Young)
Chiefs basketball
finishes with fun
By Kayla Peche
For the Division 5 regional opener, the Cornell Chiefs
Boys Basketball team traveled to Owen-Withee March 1.
The Chiefs landed behind by 16 points
early in the first half. Keeping a steady
lead, the Blackhawks outscored Cornell
81-41 in the game, defeating the Chiefs
chances of advancing.
“We had our ups and downs last night,”
said Cornell freshman Kyle Glaus. “I am
going to miss playing with my teammates.
We always had fun no matter what.”
Cornell is sticking with most of the
same players for next season, aside from
losing their one senior – Cortland Spletter.
Glaus says the team is going to miss him a
lot next year.
“He always knew what to say to make
us smile and laugh on and off the court,”
Glaus said.
Spletter says the last four years of basketball have been some of the best times
in his life, all thanks to his teammates and
coach Shawn Schoelzel.
“I’m probably going to miss just being
around everybody,” Spletter said, “hearing
my name get called for the starting lineups, our pre-game huddles.”
He said his advice for his teammates is
to “cherish every moment, every practice
(no matter how boring) and every memory.”
“Because pretty soon,” Spletter said,
“it’s going to be your last moment, your
last practice, the last memory you’ll make
playing high school basketball with your
brothers on the court.”

Mittermeyer says his team has improved more this season from start
to finish than any other group he has
coached in his career.
“The biggest win for the players this
season is that they brought in to each
other, even though they have so many
distractions outside of each other,” said
Mittermeyer.
Cadott loses seniors Jake Holum,
Tyler Miles, Shawn Sedlacek and Matt
Irish to graduation this year, but with a
mostly young team, the Hornets will return.
“I will miss the seniors tremendously,” said Mittermeyer. “They have
shown a willingness to do what is asked
of them during practices and games.”
Lake Holcombe ends
season too quickly
By Kayla Peche
At Rib Lake, the Lake Holcombe Boys Basketball team fell in what players Cadott junior Bryce Boyea leaps
for a layup during a Dec. 18 game
said was a speedy match.
“It went by really quick,” said Jeremiah Reedy, Lake Holcombe junior. “It felt against Altoona. The Hornets fell
to the Railroaders, 62-49, in the
like we couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn.”
With 9 minutes left in the first half, the Chieftains were already down by 20 Western Cloverbelt Conference

points during the March 1 regional opener.
In the second half, the Chieftains regained
some control, but couldn’t catch the Redmen, who defeated Lake Holcombe 95-64.
Reedy, who led Lake Holcombe with 27 points, says it will be a lot different next year
without senior Chieftains Nick Seng, Alec Hulburt and William Hattamer on the team.
“I will for sure miss the seniors,” Reedy said. “I’ve been playing with them since fourth
grade.”
Looking forward to next season, Reedy says Lake Holcombe needs to focus on using
their skills together in order to make it further in the playoffs.
“I felt like this year we had a ton of talent, but we couldn’t come together as a team
in the last stretch,” said Reedy. “I think that now we are all healthy (for now) we should
become more used to the way we all play, and the passing next year should be much more
fluent than this year.”
Young team with nationals dream
Reece Kinney adds two
points for a total of 21 during a Feb. 12 game against

The Cornell Nock Buster Archery team
continues to improve as they take on competitors during NASP Archery events. Ty
Anderson, freshman archer, says the team
has quite a few first-year archers, but they
are stepping up and finding their place.
“There is a possibility with the talent we
have to make it to nationals in Louisville,
Ky., this year,” Anderson said.
Feb. 27 Stratford Tournament
Cornell traveled to Stratford Feb. 27 to
compete against 25 schools. While there,
the team placed second in the high school
division with 3,174 points.
“Taking second is an amazing accomplishment for such a young team,” said
head coach Carol Hakes of the eight middle
school and nine high school archers.
Freshman Anna Hillebrand led for the
Nock Busters with a score of 278, placing
first for freshman girls overall. Second place
honors went to eighth grader Tyler Harycki,
who scored a 275 and 13 tens. Cornell’s
third highest score for the team was Anderson with 271.
Anderson says he likes that archery is a
sport where a person relies on themselves
to excel, but he enjoys that his teammates
don’t judge based on shooting.
“I am looking forward to my next three
years with a team like this at my side,” Anderson said.
March 4 Augusta Tournament
If second place was an “amazing accomplishment,” then the Nock Busters exceeded expectations at a March 4 competition in Augusta. The team earned first place
over eight schools participating in the high
school division.
“Congratulations Cornell Archery,” said
Hakes.
Cornell had a score of 3,141 points, 57
points ahead of second-place finisher Osseo-Fairchild and 130 over third-place Augusta.
Anderson led for the Nock Busters with a
score of 293, breaking the school record of
286 set by McKenzie Weggen last year.
Harycki earned second place again with
277 points and 12 tens. Freshman McKenna
Marek shot a 272 to take third for the team,
but placed second overall for freshman girls.
The Nock Busters will host a tournament
March 19 at Cornell High School, with their

Henry LeBakken, Steve Siverling, Gordy Petersen, Mary
Krall, Mike Stoffel, Chris DeGidio, Vincent Hall, Jill Kuehni and Scott Kuehni.

Snowmobile trails remain open in just a few northern
counties with heavy use.
Ice conditions have improved on most waters across the
northwoods and ice depths range 12-16 inches. Strong winds
have blown a lot of snow from the surface, and cold nighttime temperatures have frozen many slushy areas, greatly
improving travel conditions.
Fishing pressure has

times, but with the
changing weather, fishing for northern pike is
variable. Panfish action
has been hit or miss.
On the ground, more

and explore.
Those trekking across state trails and natural areas find

An Outdoorsman’s Journal
By Mark Walters
One Lucky Fisherman
Hello friends,
Here is the scoop.
Deteriorating ice conditions on the Mississippi River
made me set my shack just 20 yards onto the ice from
shore at the public boat landing at Stoddard.
The day before, when I completed a trip on this same
piece of ice, I had talked to a fisherman who caught a 32inch northern pike. He also told me he had caught many
big gators on this spot at last ice.
Though it is a challenge to do back-to-back trips, I really wanted a 40-inch pig flopping on the ice that I would
release after taking its photo.
Tuesday, Feb. 23 • High 36, Low 29
I woke up in my Eskimo portable ice shack at 5:30 this
morning while 21-year-old Ross Moll sawed logs on a cot
next to me. Yesterday afternoon we had six tipups out and
not one flag.
This morning, my buddy, Jeff Neitzel, joined us. Our
plan was to catch a big fish. By noon, it was obvious they
were not hungry where we were, so we planned to make
an 800-yard hike to “the perch hole.”
There is a channel near my camp and the ice was becoming sketchy, but with a spud and by keeping each of us
20-yards behind each other, we “safely” made the journey
to the perch paradise.
We fished until 5:15 p.m. There were maybe eight other fishermen where we were; most hiked in from farther
north but two had come the same route as us.
One of the fishermen was a very pleasant man of 63,
who Ross and I had spoken with the evening before and
again today. All I know him by is Fred.
Though the temperature was in the mid 30s there was a
damp wind and it was cloudy. We started our journey back
to camp with me in the lead. I had a spud, checking for
bad ice, with Ross 20 yards back and Jeff 20 yards behind
Ross.
After we had traveled about 30 yards in what were some
significantly worse ice conditions than the trek five hours
earlier, we could see Fred was headed our way.
I told the guys we should wait for him, so we did.
Our sheet of ice now had open holes where a person had
to watch in front of them and pick their course, always
aware that the ice around the open water was bad as well.
Here is where our world fell apart, literally, to one of the
epic nightmares of my 54 years. Fred made the decision to
pass us (by maybe 20 yards), but he did not have a spud.
Twice he was walking to open water and both times Jeff
verbally stopped him.
Bad luck came our way when Fred broke through the
ice in water over his head. Now, every one of us had a
decision to make.
Ross and Jeff were 20 and 40 yards back. I had a 100foot rope in the sled Ross was pulling. Fred was trying to
get out but it was hopeless.
I began barking orders and at the same time comforting and praising Fred, who was actually very calm even
though he was literally dying in front of our eyes.
With Ross (who is a real big kid) as the anchor 25 yards
away, myself 10 feet from Fred (who was pulling on the
rope with all his might) we tried pulling him out of the
Mississippi River.
It was not to be.
So we went to Plan B. Ross pulled, I went to the edge of
the ice, grabbed Fred’s shoulders, praying the edge would
hold.
We got him out.
I backed up 10 feet and Fred made one step forward
and fell through again. Folks, I swear to God as I write
this story I am bawling my head off. This was a horrible
experience.
Again, we repeated the same process and I knew Fred
had to be in very big trouble because of hypothermia. We
got Fred out, even saved his gear, and then something really bad happened again.
Fred just started walking toward shore, made it about 20
yards, and fell through again.
I have no fear of death but I have a daughter to finish
raising and we were really bucking the odds on this last
rescue.
With our now fine-tuned rescue operation, we got Fred
out and again, I want to say that though he made some
mistakes, he was one tough cookie in the water.
The journey the last 100 yards to shore was just as about
as scary as the rescue. Though I did not want to do it, I
became a total a-hole.
I worked the spud, kept Fred 20 yards behind me with
two big time heroes in line behind him, in 20-yard increments, and we made it to shore.
This experience was hard on all of us. I do not wish to
talk about it with anyone.
Thank you.

It’s a Girl’s Hunting
Life
By: Monique Westaby
Finally
After the first coyote
chase resulted in nothing in
the animal department, we
had one last option before calling it quits; maybe for good if
I had a say in the matter.
We dropped the dogs and they carefully meandered their
way through the woods, cold trailing one of their ancestors.
Before long, they were hot on the yote’s tail and crossed
several roads and trails in pursuit.
My husband, Scott, unloaded Grace, our Walker, and she
headed up the hunt before falling back and letting the seasoned pros take over.
Because I was so excited that Grace actually followed a
track rather than ran back to the truck, the next segment of
our hunt is a little hazy. I didn’t write down the details until
the dogs crossed the road and headed into the county forest.
By then, Grace had caught back up and Scott, Chase
(our 6-month-old) and I clipped along in the truck, staying parallel and trying to keep the dogs to the north and
out of swampland. Our efforts were rewarded and the GPS
beeped, indicating the dogs were treed.
Wait. This was a coyote, not a raccoon. Treed?!
I turned to Scott and he must have noticed the puzzled
look on my face.
“I think they have him caught,” he said, packing things
up as he put the truck into park.
“Like, on the ground?” I said, knowing as soon as I said
it that a “No, in the tree,” would be a likely response.
He bypassed the sarcasm and nodded, asking if I was going with him.
I looked at the temperature gauge on the mirror and it
read somewhere in the low teens. I looked back at Chase,
who was content in his car seat.
“I guess I’m going to have to sit this one out,” I said. “By
the time I get Chase bundled up it will hold you guys back.
It’s probably a little cold for him anyway.”
After a quick, 400-yard jaunt, I heard a shot and knew
we had finally gotten what we
wanted. The boys returned with
their trophy and several very
pleased hounds.
Although I didn’t get
to make the trek into
the woods, the videos
and pictures helped
me experience what I had
missed, and I was hooked
for another day of hunting.
(Above) Chase and I take a
selfie with our first coyote.
(Below) Yoshi, our Walker
pup, sniffs a coyote the dogs
“caught” in the woods. When a coyote is
“caught,” the animal stops running and the
dogs surround or corner it until a hunter
arrives. This year’s coyote population was
overabundant, resulting in a lot of the animals suffering from mange, like this one.

Community turns trash into school treasure
By Monique Westaby
The Cornell Elementary School popped their expectations
and overflowed their goals last month by collecting over
100 pounds of pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House.
Although the drive isn’t over, the student council held a fourweek competition to kick things off for students.
“The competition was four weeks for an ice cream party,”
said Ashley Rosentrater, fifth-grade teacher. “And then after
that, anyone who wants to bring in pop tabs can help contribute to our total collection.”
During the Pull Together to Make a Difference kick-off,
the first graders took home bragging rights by bringing in the
most tabs and earning an ice cream party.
Mindy Larson, mother of Cornell fourth grader Elizabeth
Olsen and first grader Anelise Larson, says she is “super
proud” of her girls for their efforts in collecting the alumi-
num.
“They went to friends houses and collected them,” says
Larson, “they collected them from my work, they picked
them up from pop cans on the side of the road saying, ‘Ooh,
money.’”
Larson says her daughters also asked family members and
friends, and some of the tabs even came from Georgia and
Minnesota.
“They would come to my work and get them out of the
trash can,” says Larson. “At one time they counted and each
had over 200 pop tabs.”
This is the first year for the collection, and Rosentrater says
it started because the student council wanted to volunteer and
do more for the community. She says next year they plan to
start the drive earlier, and continue holding it for the next
couple years.
“When we first started
it, we didn’t know how it
was going to turn out,” said
Rosentrater. “We were very
surprised to see that we collected over 100 pounds of
pop tabs in four weeks.”
Once the tabs have been
taken to an aluminum collection site, they will be
weighed and swapped out
for cash. At the end of the
school year, that money will
be sent to the Ronald McDonald House to go toward
helping families with medical needs.
“The kids did a really nice
job of going and asking family members and neighbors;
and parents collected them at
work,” says Rosentrater. “It
was really a nice thing to see
the school come together and
collect all those pop tabs.”
Larson says her girls went
above and beyond their expectations, and every time
she turned around, they
wanted to pick pop tabs,
even if it was cold outside.
“They have already started
collecting for next year,”
Sisters Elizabeth Olsen (fourth grade) and Anelise Larson (first grade) showsays
Larson. “So if they
case just some of the pop tabs they helped collect for Cornell Elementary’s
keep
up
the hard work, they
February competition. The school, “pulled together to make a difference,” colshould have more to bring
lecting over 100 pounds of tabs (inset) for the Ronald McDonald House.

very dedicated student who
strives to do well academically. He is always making sure
of what work needs to be done
in algebra and meets deadlines
on a regular basis. If Ryan has a question he makes good use
of his resources by asking others for help. He also uses his
intervention time knowing that he can get extra assistance
from me if he has a question on the material or his homework.
“Ryan does a fantastic job of realizing what it takes to
get good grades and sees success. Ryan is a very polite and
respectful individual. He is willing to help others inside and
out of the classroom. I enjoy having Ryan as a student in my
seventh hour algebra class. He is an asset to the class. These
qualities that Ryan possess will take him to a very productive future. Great job, Ryan!”

NOTICE
Village of Cadott
COMBINED NOTICE OF FINDINGS OF NO
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST
RELEASE OF FUNDS
Date of Publication: March 10, 2016
Municipality: Village of Cadott, 110 Central
Street, Cadott, WI 54727 (715) 289-4282
TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS
AND PERSONS: The Village of Cadott has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
following project. The EA is on file at the address
above and is available for public examination and
copying.
Construction and replacement street, watermain, sanitary and storm sewer to improve
municipal services. The project is located on
M.D. St., in the eastern portion of Village of
Cadott, Chippewa County, Wisconsin. Estimated cost of $731,500
The Village of Cadott has determined that such
request for release of funds will not constitute an
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment and, accordingly, the Village of
Cadott has decided not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (PL 91-190).
The reason for such decision is: The regulatory
agencies which have been contacted for the purpose of submitting comments in regard to the project have not identified any negative impacts that will
be created by the project. The project is expected to
have only beneficial impacts on the area residents.
All agencies, groups or individuals disagreeing
with this decision are invited to submit written comments to the above address. Such written comments should be received on or before March 25,
2016. All such comments will be considered, and
the Village of Cadott will not request the release
of Federal funds or begin the project prior to such
date.
On or about March 26, 2016, the Village of Cadott
will request the Division of Energy, Housing and
Community Resources (DEHCR) to release Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds
under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (PL 93-383) as amended for
this project.
The Village of Cadott is certifying to the Division of
Energy, Housing and Community Resources that it
and its chief executive officer, in his official capacity
as village president, consent to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal courts if an action is brought to
enforce environmental review responsibilities, decision-making, and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. Upon certification, the
Village of Cadott may use the CDBG funds, and the
DEHCR will have satisfied its responsibilities under
the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The
DEHCR will accept an objection to the release of
funds and certification only if (a) the certification
was not executed by the chief executive officer or
other officer of the Village of Cadott approved by
the DEHCR; or (b) the Village of Cadott EA indicates omissions of a required decision, finding, or
step. Objections must be prepared and submitted
in accordance with 24 CFR Part 58, and may be
addressed to the Division of Energy, Housing and
Community Resources, Attention: Environmental
Desk, P.O. Box 7970, Madison, WI 53708-7970.
Objections for reasons other than those stated
above will not be considered by the DEHCR. No
objections received after April 11, 2016, will be considered by the DEHCR.

Legacy continues to benefit community
By Monique Westaby
A new fund that has plans to give back to the community
has been started in memory of two, long-time Cornell residents – Chuck and Sally Smith.
Both Cornell High School graduates, Chuck, a “quiet, reserved, hardworking perfectionist,” and his wife, Sally, “social, energetic and always on the go,” were married in 1964.
“They were such an unusual couple,” says family. “She
was a social butterfly who went everywhere and did every
thing; and he was just happy to stay on his farm and do his
farm work.”
Chuck joined the Navy after graduation in 1962, and the
two moved around before settling back to their Cornell roots
in 1978. Both kept their fingers in the community – Chuck
taking a position with the city for 32 years and serving as the
city works supervisor, and Sally working as a bookkeeper at
several area businesses.
While employed with the city, Chuck and his crew helped
form Mill Yard Park, the trail from the Old Abe Trail to the
park, and had a hand in the visitors center and original pavilion. His woodworking skills can still be seen on the Mill
Yard Park sign through the fish and deer details.
Dave DeJongh, city administrator, says Chuck was also
instrumental in the way city street reconstruction is conducted, and that a lot of Chuck’s expertise and experience still
comes through during city work.
Aside from their employment, family says both were very
active in their church (Holy Cross Catholic), and Sally spent
a lot of time volunteering at the school and helping at the library, serving on the library board and as president for many
years.
“The library was very important to her,” said Sue Hartzell,
a friend of Sally’s who also worked with Chuck at the city.
“She was one of the ones who brought it back to life; a real
adamant reader. She had a heart to help any way she could.”
Although she battled health problems like rheumatoid arthritis, and friends say she was in a lot of pain, Sally never
quit volunteering her time.
“She was more of an inspiration to all of us than anything,”
says Sue. “She had a heart to help any way she could.”
Sally passed away in 2013 after a lengthy illness, and
Chuck passed away suddenly in 2015. Family members say
although Chuck and Sally weren’t “huge community leaders,” family wanted to set up the Charles J. and Sally E.
Smith Cornell Community Endowment Fund to give back to
the community that “meant so much” to their parents.
“Anybody can start, and anybody, no matter how small,
MAKE THE JUMP TO EXEDE HIGH-SPEED INTERNET
The late Sally and Chuck Smith
can make a difference,” says family. “If everybody gives a
little, a little, a little, pretty soon that little becomes a lot…it
all adds up and can make a difference.”
The endowment fund, set up through the Community
Foundation of Chippewa County, has no limit set for grants,
and Melinda Haun, executive director, says funds will benefit the community of Cornell.
Potential grant recipients in Cornell might include the
school, library, fire or police departments or the food pantry,
to name a few. Any size grant can be applied for and awards
are determined, in part, by dollars available for discretionary
grants.
Applications are due early November, with grants awarded in January.
“Contributions to the endowment fund, along with investment earnings, allow the fund to grow over time,” says
Haun. “And ultimately, provide the opportunity for more
funding to be available for the community.”
Family says even for those who didn’t know Chuck or
Sally, funding benefits Cornell and donors should know their
money won’t get placed in neighboring communities.
“It’s going to benefit you,” says family. “It’s going to benefit the community. Whether it’s the food pantry, the library,
the police and fire department, it’s all going to come back…
it’s going to go to the community of Cornell.”
Donations can be sent directly to the Community Foundation of Chippewa County at P.O. Box 153, Chippewa Falls,
WI 54729. Pre-addressed envelopes are available in Cornell
at the Courier Sentinel, Northwestern Bank, City Hall, Cornell Public Library, Lisa’s Beauty Salon, Denny’s Barber
Shop and Mary Hoel’s office.
Several donors have already contributed to the fund (Jon
and Tamara Bohaty, Mary Hoel and Mark Robarge, Lois
Johnson, Steve and Patti Mewhorter, John and Laurel Niemeyer, Kathy and Joe Fitzpatrick, Helen Ewings and Nordson Corporation Employee Giving), and the family thanks
those for their support of Chuck and Sally’s memory.
“Even though they are gone, we wanted that legacy to
continue.”

the skill challenge. At the close of the night at the
Cornell Elementary School, Cub Scout Wolf Zech
Schmidt received first place with the only perfect
score of 150. Once the competition wrapped up,
the Scouts took their pit passes, and joined volunteers and family for cake and race themed snacks.
