Four trumpeter swans, the largest of the North American native water fowl, made a rare appearance in the area on their way to Alaska and western Canada Feb. 23. The white birds took a break on
the Chippewa River just south of Cornell off Highway 178, resting on the ice before continuing their
journey north. Warmer temperatures and open water have also brought other species to the area,
like sandhill cranes, red-winged blackbirds, turkey vultures and the close relative to the trumpeter
swan – the tundra swan. According to the 2007 Wisconsin Sea Grant, reintroduced populations of
trumpeters in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ontario were “breeding successfully and expanding.”

Local artist turns out sweet sounds
By Ginna Young
What started out as crafting a unique Christmas gift 15-20
years ago, has since turned into a passion for sharing knowledge and music. Cornell resident Gary Germain began making mountain dulcimers when his daughter saw the musical
instruments in a model home and wanted him to construct
one for her.
Once Germain found a kit and instructions, and made the
instrument, he decided to wait until Christmas to give it to
his daughter. While he waited, he began experimenting and
picking out tunes.
“I wanted to learn to play an instrument all my life and
couldn’t do it,” said Germain. “I’m fascinated by the history
of songs.”
Although he attempted to learn many types of instruments,
he could never master notes or songs until he discovered the
dulcimer.
“I realized I could play just about anything I could sing or
could remember,” Germain said.
Unlike other stringed instruments, the dulcimer is played
by numbers instead of notes. Germain says children and
adults alike, and those with developmental abilities or arthritis find it easy to play the light-weight instrument if they
practice.
“Even older people…can sit down and play with no train-
ing at all,” said Germain. “Everybody can play by ear, they
just don’t know it.”
The dulcimer, considered a fretted string of the zither family, was invented in the Appalachian Mountains in the late
1700s or early 1800s. Dulcimer is derived from Greek and
Latin words meaning “sweet sound” and is typically played
balanced across the lap.
The “parlor” instruments are made from hard and soft
woods that have “good sounds to them” and sport steel
strings.
“I had a ball making hers,” Germain said of his daughter’s gift. “I made another one right away…pretty soon I was
making two-three a year.”
It takes the retired senior about a month to hand-make a
dulcimer from a mix of local western red cedar, butternut,
walnut or maple. Climate is key to the process, as glue won’t
set when it’s too humid and Germain’s woodworking shop is
unheated during the winter season.
The process sometimes takes longer when Germain decides he’s not happy with his results and starts over, taking apart his creation and splicing parts of them together to
make a new instrument.
“I’m learning what not to do now,” said Germain. “You
learn a little bit all the time, you’re always fighting yourself

Over two years after a March 17, 2014, accident north of
Cornell, Douglas Kohl, Glen Flora, is scheduled to make his
plea and receive sentencing from Chippewa County Judge
Roderick Cameron.
“There are a lot of people in the courtroom just for this
case,” said Cameron at a Feb. 24 review hearing. “We may
have a lot of people who want to talk. I want to set a lot of
time aside for this.”
According to the Chippewa County Sheriff’s Department,
Kohl rear-ended a car driven by David Larson, Cornell. Larson was stopped to make a left turn and the collision caused
Larson’s car to veer into the path of a pickup truck. Two
passengers in Larson’s vehicle, Myah Larson and Brianna
Strzok, were severely injured.
Kohl pled not guilty with a request for a plea offer in June
2015 after being charged with four Felony F counts of injury
by vehicle while driving under the influence of a controlled
substance, and four misdemeanor counts of causing injury
while operating with less than a .15 prohibited alcohol concentration level.
The plea hearing/sentencing for Kohl is scheduled for
Wednesday, April 6, at 2:30 p.m.

More technology in the outdoors drives hunters wild
By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
Last
week,
hunters across the state saw
a change that will affect them for the rest of
their hunting careers. A
change that, although has
been in the making for the last five years,
is long overdue and is making hunters go
wild.
The actual change doesn’t happen until
March, but starting Feb. 16, harvest tags,
hunting and fishing licenses, Conservation
Patron licenses and recreational vehicle
registrations (such as snowmobiles, boats
and ATVs) can be purchased through the
GoWild.Wi.Gov site. The information will
then be stored online.
The familiar green tags will no longer be
printed, and DNR customers can have the
licensing and tags linked to their drivers license. They can also access the information
via smartphone or get a conservation card.
The DNR website says “every completed
transaction will provide a printable output,”
including a receipt, license document, carcass tags and operating passes. But if you’re
not as tech savvy as your neighbor, don’t
worry. The DNR says all of the above can
also be purchased at over 1,000 participating vendors.
“What we’re moving to is more of an
electronic records system,” said Mark
Rappe, DNR customer and outreach services, “so everything is stored electronically
and you have access to that electronic record through multiple means, as well does
our law enforcement staff here.”
Not only will this change save on paper
and time spent at DNR service stations,
it will also save on headaches wondering
where your fishing license is or where a
snowmobile safety card might be.

A SOUND PRINCIPLE: Every government official or board that handles
public money should publish at regular intervals an accounting of it, showing where
and how each dollar is spent. We hold this
to be a fundamental principle of democratic government.
COMING EVENTS: If a function raises money, advertising the event is a normal
expense and will be charged at regular advertising rates.
Or, if you’re like a lot of men, the cards
that go into your wallet rarely come out readable thanks to dirt and grime. Now, merely
pull out your phone or driver’s license (if
validated with the new system) when asked
for proof of licensing and you’re good to
go.
This new system is by far the most flexible, favorable transition that licensing has
ever seen. But some areas are still in the
dark when it comes to going wild with the
new DNR registration “paperless” system.
While saving time and paper may be
beneficial, it now requires users to print
their own carcass tags. Not on the usual
waterproof thermal paper, but plain, fall
apart when it gets wet, paper. This issue is
addressed in the DNR’s frequently asked
questions, but their solution is merely putting the new tags in a plastic bag.
In addition to that, where once hunters
could slice their tags to show date and time
of kill, now a pen (or pencil) will be required to fill in the appropriate information.
Unfortunately, it means more to remember
for hunters, and with the phone call registration system, it doesn’t make sense to require
hunters to even tag their animals anymore.
Backtags are another issue, but the DNR
states that legislation regarding these is still
being considered, and “more information is
expected in the weeks ahead.” But backtags
are another non-necessity that should just be
done away with, especially if law enforcement can now access all of the hunter’s information at the touch of their fingertips.
Overall, this change looks to be the perfect solution to lost or damaged licenses,
and every state that sells licenses and registrations should follow suit.
The DNR may have a little work left to
do to make the transition flawless and implement the new system, but hunters and
outdoor enthusiasts should be excited about
the steps being taken to bring more people
outside.
Who knew bringing more technology into
the outdoors would be the next best thing?

A public figure whose
story is normally found
on entertainment television has become a widely
known movement for
women’s rights everywhere. But is the story really about women empowerment, or should
it be about everyone having the courage to
come forward?
The story heard throughout the entertainment world is about recording artist Kesha
Sebert, known for her songs Timber and
Your Love is my Drug. Kesha filed a lawsuit to void her contracts with Dr. Luke
Gottwald, and be allowed to work with other
labels and publishing units. She claims that
over the 10 years leading up to this lawsuit,
Gottwald had “sexually, physically, verbally
and emotionally” abused her.
Rolling Stone reports that, Ms. Sebert
wholly believed that Dr. Luke had the power and money to carry out his threats; she
therefore never dared talk about, let alone
report, what Dr. Luke had done to her.
This is not an uncommon happening
where people refuse to come forward or feel
threatened by their abuser.
According to Rape, Abuse and Incest
National Network (RAINN), 68 percent of
sexual assaults are never reported to police
and almost 100 percent of rapists will never
spend a day in jail or prison.
Many victims are afraid no one will believe them, or even develop Stockholm syndrome (when people express empathy and
sympathy, or have positive feelings toward
their abusers, sometimes to the point where
they defend them).
After a judge denied Kesha to record new
music with another label until the matter of
the accusations against Gottwald are settled,
celebrities like Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato,
Adele and Lady Gaga have tweeted or provided shout-outs to support Kesha. Most of
her allies say it is wrong for the judge to hinder Kesha from recording under new management that doesn’t involve Gottwald.
Hollywood has a way of negatively impacting people’s lives with unrealistic body
image expectations, foolish lifestyles or useless knowledge. But this time, it is a chance
for the abused to feel liberated and speak the
truth about how they feel.
Variety Magazine shared a Facebook post
from Kesha, thanking everyone for their
support:
All I ever wanted was to be able to
make music without being afraid, scared
or abused. This case has never been about
a renegotiation of my record contract – it
was never about getting a bigger, or a better deal. This is about being free from my
abuser. I would be willing to work with Sony
if they do the right thing and break all ties
that bind me to my abuser.
Because this story has brought tons of media attention, it provides an opportunity for
not only celebrities and politicians to speak,
but for anyone to discuss sexual, verbal and
emotional abuse.
In actress and singer Demi Lovato’s tweet
to Kesha, she says it’s frustrating to see
women come forward with their past only to
be shot down, not believed and disrespected
for their bravery in taking action…Happens
way too often. I’m ready for women to be
taken just as seriously as men.
Although Lovato makes a critical point,
abuse is something that not only affects
women, but men as well. RAINN reports
that 2.78 million men in the U.S. have been
victims of sexual assault or rape. It may be
a small percentage of men (one in 33 compared to one in six women), but this is a
chance for everyone to come forward and be
empowered.
No one deserves to be talked down to by
“someone they love.” No one deserves to be
hit or pushed around because they have no
where else to go. No one should feel sexually pressured because they are scared or the
other person has more money or power.
Everyone can stand together and fight
against this abuse. While the media covers
this topic more frequently lately, the public
should also start talking.
Speaking up for yourself or someone else
will provide individual empowerment. Discuss these issues even if they may be uncomfortable.
Don’t take the “that’s none of my business” approach. We are all human beings
and we are all equal. Stand up for what is
right. For once, make having a big mouth
not such a bad thing.
Use your voice, fight against abuse

Cadott High School honors CTE month
February was Career and Technical Education (CTE)
month in Wisconsin and across the nation, and the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) said it was a time to promote CTE and reflect on the value of career and technical education for students, the future workforce and the economy.
“Career and technical education is the forefront of preparing students to be “college and career ready,” reads
the DPI website. “CTE programs can equip you
with core academic skills, employability skills,
and job-specific technical skills related to a
specific career pathway.”
The site goes on to report that students who
complete a rigorous academic core coupled
with a career concentration are more likely
to pursue postsecondary education, have a
higher grade point average in college and are
less likely to drop out in the first year.
Career and technical education students report they
developed problem-solving, project completion, research, math, college application, work-related, communication, time management and critical thinking skills
during high school.
Cadott High School offers students career-oriented courses in Agriculture and Natural Resources, Business and Information Technology, Family and Consumer Science, and
Technology and Engineering.
The Cadott agriculture department provides students opportunities to learn animal science, aquaculture, ag business, horticulture and landscaping. It
also provides an opportunity for skill growth
through supervised agricultural experiences.
In the Business and Information Technology
department, high school courses allow students
to receive more than 14 transcripted credits at
Chippewa Valley Techical College.
Cadott’s Family and Consumer Sciences Department serves students at Cadott Jr./Sr. High School by
providing skills used for independent living. The Technology and Engineering department also contributes to
CTW month by providing a comprehensive curriculum
that can prepare students for the workforce and post secondary education.

less. Decisions to place or lift weight
restrictions on those roads are up to local units of government.
In accordance with Wisconsin Statutes, a temporary gross weight limit of
6 tons on any one axle and 10 tons on
any tandem axle less than 8 feet apart
will be in effect Monday, March 7. The
limit is for all Chippewa County Trunk
Highways east of State Highway 27,

– Letter to the Editor –
They never let each other down; they played from tip off
to final buzzer with incredible pride in which they are. To
watch them play, laugh and have so much fun it has been
a joy for the audience and as parents could not have been
prouder, making the long drives worth it every time.
On weekends these girls coached the younger generation
of girls basketball players to come into their own and shared
with them the importance of skill and team work. These
girls where guided over the years by some terrific adult role
models, from Rachel Sproul and Dave Elliott as a grade
school team to Lori Bowe and Jason Ewing’s to their final
coach Marcus Leland with the assistance of Lori Bowe and
Steve Van Dam.
I am not vain enough to think that the strength and demeanor of this team only came from our parenting skills
but from teamwork between all. I would like to thank my
daughter and her team for impressing me at every game
and showing me what a team is. I know that what you have
gained from basketball is so much more than ball handling
skills.
These girls will graduate high school with so much more
than memories but the ingredience to be wonderful adults,
driven to accomplish so much in their lives and be such caring individuals.
These girls had a winning season even if it was not reflected on the scoreboard in the gymnasiums. I am so proud
of these girls.

Winning not reflected on a score board
The Cornell Girls Basketball team has played with such
heart and passion this whole season. I as a parent am so
impressed by their maturity and ability to be so driven and
professional.
The characteristics this team possessed and showed at every game and encounter with opposing schools was more
than we could have ever been hoping for and made me so
proud to call that my daughter’s team.
This team started the season not sure if we will have a
team, not enough girls showed up to have a JV team this
year so the Varsity team consisted of 3 freshmen, 3 sophomores, 1 junior and 3 seniors, mostly unheard of for a varsity team, to have so many freshmen on the roster. After
losing 3 players to injuries and one quitting, the team consisting of 6 played on.
With sore muscles, bloody noses and lips, getting the
wind knocked out of them and month long colds, they
played on. Nightly practice was about skill building and endurance, due to not enough players to scrimmage and with
only 6 girls on a team, fouling out, injury during the game
or taking breaks to catch some air, were far and few.
The leadership of the seniors on this team guided these
freshmen to play varsity ball, never yelling at them during
games but going to them on the court and guiding them to
where they needed to be for the play.
The improvement of this team was outstanding to watch
evolve.

Tales of our Beginnings
Cadott • Cornell • Lake Holcombe areas
If asked what was located at the corner of Ginty and Main street, any child who
grew up in Cadott between the late 1940s and 1979 would quickly answer, “That’s
Einer’s Corner.”
Einer Bremness operated Bremness Oil Company for more than 30 years, selling
gas, repairing cars and supplying free air for every bicycle tire in town. But the site
had a long history before that.
Frank Turner built a hotel in 1880 with a succession of owners and managers until
1914, when the Commercial Hotel, owned by the Walter Brewing Company, burned
to the ground in the Great Fire.
After much controversy, the brewing company decided to not build another hotel,
but did build a new saloon.
Prohibition, which started in 1919, ended saloons and the property became home to
general stores, confectioneries, ice cream and soft drink parlors, and maybe a Speak
Easy or two.
In 1924, Clara Gruner started the Palace Dress and Millinery Shop on the corner,
and in 1928, the
Golden Rule Oil
Co. of Chippewa
Falls purchased
the property.
The
building was demolished in 1981. In
2009, the Village
of Cadott purchased the property and built the
parking lot that
exists today.

Where would you go?
ChaliceStream Studio, south of Ladysmith, will host its
March forum, “Where On Earth Would You Go?” Sunday,
March 6, from 2:30-4 p.m..
Participants will discuss where they would go tomorrow
if they could leave for a destination. Would it be the wilds
of Africa, the fjords of Norway, the bejeweled Taj, the Great
Pyramid and fabled temples of Luxor, the theaters of London, the ruins of Knossos, the shrines of Kyoto, the Outback,
the Himalayas, the Amazon or the Holy Land?
Would they visit their ancestral home or a place remote
as Antarctica? Would they stand atop the Acropolis, tour
the palace at Versailles or celebrate solstice at Stonehenge?
Would they choose to step across the fence to make amends
with their neighbor?
Whether near or far, top choice destinations will be the
focus of this time together. Admission is free, but donations
are accepted.

The Flambeau Valley Arts Association will present a performance by Girl Singers of the Hit Parade Sunday, March
13, at 3 p.m., at the Ladysmith High School.
The Girl Singers of the Hit Parade features music performed by Colleen Raye, Jennifer Grimm, Debra O’Keefe
and Sophie Grimm. Accompanied by three musicians under
the direction of Norton Lawellin, the music has a “true to the
era” sound with background vocals and instrumentals.
Colleen, a native of Wisconsin, began her singing career
at 15 when she sang for her brother’s band, The Tradewinds.
Coming from a family of seven children, she has four musical children of her own and has performed across the United
States during her career.
Debra, Raye’s younger sister, is a resident of Hudson, and
began performing at 13. Sophie, Colleen’s daughter, also began performing with her family at a young age, is now based
in Chicago, Ill., where she is a vocalist and actor.
Jennifer, Colleen’s daughter, traveled and sang across the
country with her family for the first 13 years of her life, and
has performed with Garrison Keillor and Debbie Duncan.
She also performed in New York City, Europe and the Caribbean.
Norton is the musical director and plays keyboard for the
shows. He has appeared on stage with headliners such as
Jerry Lewis, Bobby Goldsboro, Roy Clark and Buck Owens.
Reed Grimm, Raye’s son, provides vocals and percussion.
Performing across the country with his family since he was
2 years old, Reed has performed over seas for troops, and
is involved with Massive Amounts of Good, a program that
brings attention to nonprofit causes and organizations
Doug Rohde plays keyboard and keyboard bass, with 30

Northwoods Church • Cornell
“What is your Prayer Life?”
I know we live in a very fast-paced busy society. When
do we find time to pray? The reality is this – God’s people
need to pray.
Healing for a sick nation only comes when God’s people
who are called by His name would humble themselves and
pray, and seek His face then will He hear and heal our land.
At Northwoods Church we are learning prayers we can
say on the run, like the Jabez Prayer. It says, Lord that You
would bless me indeed, that You would expand my territory, that Your hand would be with me and You would keep
me from evil.
Every day I pray that prayer, along with the
most perfect prayer – the Lord’s Prayer. It helps
me to keep focus on the one who answers prayers.
I know prayer is not the most exciting topic, but it is greatly needed.
Lord, teach us to pray.

There are days you want to go out and shout, and Saturday
was one of those days; what a wonderful, warm day.
The annual REA meeting was held Saturday in Cornell. The weather was great, so it was well attended. It is
very important to attend these meetings whenever possible. It was the first meeting in about 20 years that I was not
able to go because of sickness. We went to the emergency
room in Chippewa Falls, which was more important.
The third installment of the Faith Link Cafe is Wednesday,
at the Holcombe United Methodist Church at 6 p.m., followed by a Bible study film. These are excellent opportunities to learn about the Holy Land.

Pfeiffer’s quest for championship
Showing his flexibility and balance in the heavyweight category, Cornell-Lake
Holcombe-Gilman junior wrestler Takoda Lee battles Athen’s Tyson Sommer
in the quarterfinals of the WIAA state tournament. “He is a very entertaining
wrestler to watch because he creates a lot of action on the mat,” said Greg
Sonnentag, Lee’s head coach. Lee earned the sixth-place spot at the competition, but Sonnentag says Lee will continue to improve after this experience.

Lee brings back state experience
By Kayla Peche
Qualifying for a first-place spot after sectionals, Takoda Lee, Wolfpack junior, went
straight to the state quarterfinals Feb. 26 for
Cornell-Lake Holcombe-Gilman wrestling.
“He now has the experience of being at
state and should know that he can compete
at that level,” said Greg Sonnentag, head
coach.
Lee lost by technical fall to Athen’s Tyson
Sommer, but recovered with a win by pinfall
over Cashton’s Brandon Klimek in 26 seconds.
“He had a big win against a good wrestler from Cashton that earned him a medal
his second match,” said Sonnentag. “In his
wrestle-back rounds, he had some close
matches where a few mistakes cost him the
win.”
The semi-final loss against Fennimore’s
Deven O’Brien sent the 285-pound wrestler
to the fifth-place match. In this dual, Lee
fought to an 8-6 decision but lost, earning
him a sixth-place finish at state.
“Takoda has a ton of talent and is a very
coachable young man,” Sonnentag said. “He
needs to work on staying in good position
and look to take advantage of what the other
wrestler gives him. If he learns to do that and
focuses on refining a few takedowns, there
is a good chance he will be sitting atop the
podium again next season.”
No matter the score,
Cadott girls still win
By Kayla Peche
“Don’t take anything for granted,” said Cadott senior Elizabeth Kyes to her Hornet teammates for next season. “Don’t
take the late night practices, the tough drills, the home
games, the wins or losses for granted. Always put your team
before yourself. Always make sure to have fun too.”
The Cadott Hornets Girls Basektball team’s record may
not reflect a winning season, but Kyes says the future potential for her school’s girls basketball program “should not be
overlooked.”
“Our wins and losses do not show how hard my team has
worked this year,” she said.
The Hornets showed their potential against Spring Valley
Feb. 23, during a regional competition. The playoff tournament may have ended there, but not without a fight.
Cadott held the lead at halftime, 23-19. Spring Valley responded in the second half, sending the game into overtime.
The teams had a “50-50” chance of moving forward as they
went into the final minutes.
“We had the game under control multiple times, but we
couldn’t seem to hang on to it,” said Kyes, who scored 16
points for Cadott. “It came down to the little things.”
In the end, the Hornets scored only one basket to the Cardinals seven points, (57-52) advancing Spring Valley in the
tournament.
Senior Chelsey Goettl led Cadott with 25 points, while
her classmate, Tory Crank, had five, and sophomore Cailin
Rineck had six.
Kyes says the girls owe a lot to their coach, Dave Hazuga,
for pushing them to keep working.
“Under our great coaching staff, Chelsey and I were able
to receive honorable mentions in the conference,” she said.
“No matter what the score was in the game, we played our
hardest and the coaches always kept us going.”

Freshman James Pfeiffer
began his journey to the
WIAA state wrestling tournament Feb. 25 in Madison
as he qualified for second
place during sectionals.
At 152 pounds, Pfeiffer
first battled Colton Cary, of
Ithaca-Weston, and won by
a 10-5 decision to advance.
In the quarterfinals, the
Hornet wrestler defeated
Markesan’s Matt Hansen by
a 3-1 decision, but was taken
down by Stratford’s Mason
Kauffman and Coleman’s
Kevin Lasin to head into the
fifth-place match.
Ending his record 38-10,
Pfeiffer lost to Dustin Reynolds by a 7-2 decision to finish in sixth place at state.
“We are super proud of
him,” said Josh Spaeth, head
coach, “and look forward to
working with him the next
three seasons in his quest to
become a state champion.”
During a semi-final match against Stratford’s Mason Kauffman, Cadott freshman James Pfeiffer

three years on Pfeiffer’s quest for a Wisconsin

Believe you can and you will
By Kayla Peche
The Lake Holcombe girls basketball team finished their season with a third-place conference record (7-5), but their hopes of advancing in the regional tournament were shot down
Feb. 23 by the Bruce Red Raiders.
The evening began when Bruce jumped to a 10-point lead by halftime, but Lake Holcombe heated up in the second half, earning 20 points. The
Red Raiders fought back with 27 points of their own, leading to a 46-29 loss for the Chieftains.
Although this ends the season for Lake Holcombe, senior
Kayla Vavra says her team had a good run.
“We all worked together and became even better ball players this season,” she said.
Junior Hannah Lee held the most points for the night with
13, while senior Kareese Jiskra had eight. Seniors Sara
Stender and Jordan Geist each pitched in three.
The Chieftains will lose six seniors (Jiskra, Stender, Geist,
Vavra, Bailey Viegut and Alesha Burns) for next year’s
team, but Vavra had some words of wisdom for her younger
teammates.
“Stay positive, work together and don’t be afraid to shoot
the ball,” said Vavra. “Believe you can and you will.”

Season ends for
Chiefs basketball
By Kayla Peche
The Cornell Chiefs Girls Basketball team struggled this
season as they lost several players to injuries. This put them
in a tough position going into regionals Feb. 23.
Cornell was ranked 15th, while their opponent, OwenWithee, held the second-place spot in the WIAA Division 5. Owen-Withee’s higher ranking
earned them the win,
and Cornell’s season
ended with a 77-18
loss.
The Blackhawks
flew ahead with a
40-point lead by
halftime, and the
Chiefs only put up
seven points in the
first half. The second
half went similar,
earning them only 11
points.
Senior Lexi Moussette scored the most

cus Leland says the

missed” next season.
“I have been fortunate enough to get to coach these two
girls the past two years,” says Leland. “I think they are great
leaders and have done a lot for the Cornell program. We as a
team wish them nothing but the best in their futures.”
Each year seniors on the Lake Holcombe basketball teams choose an educator they feel are deserving of
an award. Those educators were honored at a between-game ceremony Friday, Feb. 12. Educators, left to

Lake Holcombe holds onto lead for a win
By Kayla Peche
The Lake Holcombe Chieftains
Boys Basketball team ended their
regular season at home against Bruce
Feb. 25.
In the first half, the Chieftains held
a 10-point lead against the Red Raiders thanks to scoring from senior Nick
Seng and junior Jeremiah Reedy.
During the second half, Lake Holcombe outscored Bruce 42-19 and
pulled away with the 77-44 East Lakeland Conference win. Seng steered
his team with 27 points, followed by
Reedy with 26.
Despite landing in third place for
the conference, the Chieftains were
ranked 14th and played No. 3 Rib
Lake March 1 for the opener to WIAA
Division 5 regionals.
Alec Hulburt, Chieftain senior, says
his Lake Holcombe team has been
working extra hard in practice against
the offense and defense that Rib Lake
runs.
“It should be a really good game for
both teams,” said Hulburt.
Cornell boys team finishes toward top

During the final games of the East Lakeland Conferenc
race, the Cornell Chiefs Boys Basketball team fell somewhere in the middle. But a victory Feb. 25 against Birchwood brought them back to the top.
The Chiefs trailed by 10 in the first half but rallied back,
outscoring the Bobcats, 33-23, in the second half to come

very good and helped us make that comeback,” said Shawn
Schoelzel, head coach. “That’s something that we weren’t
doing very well a few weeks ago.”
Senior Cortland Spletter had 15 points, while junior Noah
Nohr added 13 and junior Mitchell Swanson had 10. This
win put the Chiefs tied for second place with Bruce for the
conference.
Cornell earned a No. 13 spot and played No. 4 OwenWithee March 1 for the Division 5 playoffs.
Crossover ends with victory
By Kayla Peche
A Cloverbelt crossover ended in the
Cadott Hornets favor Feb. 25, as they took
on East Cloverbelt’s Greenwood. Doubling
their opponent’s score in the first half, the
Hornet boys jumped ahead 34-17.
By the second half, Cadott slowed down
their scoring, but kept a substantial lead. Although Greenwood outscored the Hornets,
26-22, in the second half, Cadott still held
on for a 56-43 win.
Junior Bryce McChesney led the team
with 19 points, while his classmate, Payton
Freagon, earned 14. Senior Shawn Sedlacek
wasn’t far behind with 11 points for the
night.
Cadott played Spring Valley March 1 for
the WIAA Division 4 regional opener. Head
coach Brandon Mittermeyer says the Hornets are very excited to be “playing well”
heading into regionals, but understand they
are the underdog.
“We expect Spring Valley to play mostly
man defense, but we are ready offensively
for any defense,” said Mittermeyer. “Spring
Valley has a trio of very good players who
can play on the perimeter.”
Mittermeyer says the boys will need to be
“extremely good” with their close-outs, and
limit the Cardinals to one shot per possession.
Bypassing two Lake Holcombe defenders, Cadott junior Bryce McChesney
goes for a layup in a Jan. 26 matchup. McChesney and his team made a
comeback in the second half, winning
63-47.

The Lake Holcombe Lions held their annual ice fishing
contest Sunday, Feb. 14, with a “good turnout,” despite
warm temperatures leaving the ice slushy and wet. Lions
kept most vehicles off Swede’s Pond to avoid added weight
and water to the fishing area.
Although several participants said they weren’t having
much luck in the catching fish department, they did say they
were having fun, and results show that enough fish were
caught to fill all prize categories.
Winning the $750 first-place student prize in the northern, bass and walleye category was Kyle Walters, Chippewa
Falls Middle School, with his 37 1/4 inch northern. From
Lake Holcombe, Alec Hurlburt earned $500 for his school
with a 23 1/2 inch northern and Ben Mancl, of Woodside
Elementary in Wisconsin Rapids, brought in $250 for his 22
5/8 northern.
In the perch, bluegill and crappie category, another Chippewa Falls Middle School student took first – Bethany Flater
with a 10 5/8 inch crappie. The $500 second-place earnings
went to Eau Claire Memorial thanks to Bryce Anderson’s 10
1/2 crappie.
Ben Mancl finished out the category, earning third place
and another $250 for his 10 1/4 inch crappie.
For the $100 fish winners, Emily Acker won for bluegill,
Vern Helland took the crappie and perch categories, Kyle
Walters won for northern, Gavin Moen earned bragging
rights for his walleye and Rudi Ziegler took $100 for the
bass categories.
Along with fishing on the ice, food was served, and hams
and other door prizes were drawn for throughout the day.

With warming temperatures, ice depths have changed dramatically across the state and will continue to do so. A number of trails have lost their snow to a layer of ice, and should
be approached with caution.
Depending on location in the state, anglers hiking on the
ice may have an inch or more of slush to traverse. For those
fishing open water, whitefish has the most consistent success
rates, with bass and pike having fair success.
Deer are shedding antlers.
Lengthening daylight, warmer temperatures and southerly
winds have brought the first significant flush of spring migrants into southern Wisconsin. Good numbers of Canada
and greater white-fronted geese, along with a few snow and
Ross geese have been seen.
Other arrivals include sandhill cranes, red-winged blackbirds, common grackles, eastern bluebirds and killdeer. Species on the move north include American robins, horned
larks, turkey vultures, and trumpeter and tundra swans.
Other signs of spring are displaying wild turkeys, singing northern cardinals and the familiar “see-dee” song of the
black-capped chickadee.
Nesting is already underway for some species.
It’s a Girl’s Hunting
Life
By: Monique Westaby
Birthday Girl
The familiar “What do
you want to do for your
birthday” question was
asked the night before the big day, and I turned to my
husband and said I didn’t really care.
“Do you want to go out to eat, or go to a movie or
something?” He asked.
I knew what he really wanted to do, and neither of those
options were on his list. Warmer temperatures threatened
an early end to coyote season, and since my birthday was
inconveniently on a Saturday this year, it would cut into
the last few days of his favorite season.
“Let’s go coyote hunting,” I said.
His eyes flickered with excitement and that was enough
of a present for me. He questioned me to make sure, since
I’m not a big fan of getting up early, but I assured him that
was what I wanted.
The next morning we got up early and not once did he
ask me when I would be ready – another present I was
thankful for. We loaded up the dogs and packed Chase,
our 6-month old, under a cozy blanket in his carseat and
off we went, maybe a little later than planned.
Normally, every time I’ve gone coyote hunting, we
drive around looking for tracks and come out with little
to no results. Today, another present was waiting and we
found at least four sets of fresh tracks going into the same
block; and several sets of slightly less fresh tracks.
Only one set was coming out, so if all
was as we had hoped, at least three yotes
were confined to the block we wanted
to run. Several other hunters joined us
and we dropped the dogs on one of
the fresh tracks.
Chase stared with excited eyes
out the window, watching the dogs
sniff around the fresh prints. He
absolutely loves dogs and laughs
when they even look his direction.
Another present – baby laughs.
It took awhile for the dogs
to figure things out, and after
a long chase through the
woods, the dogs came
out empty-handed.
We had another
set of tracks to try,
but things weren’t
looking up. I guess
my birthday was just
going to be another day…
Great horned owls and some bald eagles are already on
eggs, while common ravens, American crows and red-tailed
hawks have been found building their nests.
Winter is far from over, however, as snow buntings, snowy
owls, common redpolls, evening
grosbeaks, bohemian waxwings
and northern shrikes remain firmly on winter territories, especially
across the north.
Expect their departure later in
March and early April, as the state
welcomes the short-distance migrants like blackbirds, woodcock,
meadowlarks and waterfowl from
southern United States wintering
grounds.
The best find of the week
is an ivory gull on Lake Superior in Bayfield County. This
is only the 14th on state record,
and second since 2000.
An Outdoorsman’s Journal
By Mark Walters
A Family Winter Camping Adventure
Hello friends,
Ice is becoming liquid and with that annual change, my
winter expeditions will come to an end until next December. The winter of 2015-16 could possibly be the poorest
one as far as fish -catching reports in my career as an outdoor writer.
I was looking for a place to camp on the ice in Wisconsin and have a good chance at catching fish. My 22-yearold stepson, Joey Dushek, and my 15-year-old daughter,
Selina, as well our golden retriever, Fire, made up our
crew.
The Stoddard Islands, a cluster of islands on the Mississippi River that were created by The Army Corps of
Engineers a few years back, was our destination.
Saturday, Feb. 20 • High 38, Low 30
My Polaris Sportsman ATV pulled our 9 foot enclosed
trailer (that was fully loaded with camping gear) to an area
called “the perch hole,” about 800-yards from the public
boat landing in Stoddard.
Joey and I camped here two years ago and did very well
on jumbo perch, including two that were over 14 inches.
The ice conditions today were fine as Selina drove the
ATV. I have to admit, I had very high hopes of our crew icing some big jumbos. My main goal was to catch a northern pike over 40 inches.
The weather conditions were perfect – no wind and lots
of sun – as we picked a 1 acre area just beyond about 40
fishermen.
I drilled about 30 holes with my Jiffy Pro 4 and folks,
I have to tell you, I have tested Jiffy’s propane augers for
years and in my opinion, they are basically flawless. I find
it almost unbelievable at how long a 1 pound tank of propane lasts.
We are over 5
feet of water and
each of us set out
two tip-ups and try
jigging for perch
with our third line.
I ventured to a lot
of different groups
of fishermen and
heard the same report from everyone
I spoke with – they
had not seen a fish
caught yet today.
Until maybe five
Selina Walters enjoying a
years
ago, I caught
weekend of winter camping
a
gator
over 40
and fishing at the Stoddard Islands on the Mississippi River. inches each winter
for many, many winters, sometimes even two and, on a
bonus year, one in the summer.
Today, we set our lines, jigged for perch, built our camp
and enjoyed what I think is my favorite form of camping.
At one point we put our cots in the sun, laid our sleeping
bags on top of them and took a snooze.
Joey was the fish catcher today and at dark he had three
northern pike and four perch swimming in our livewell.
Sunday, Feb. 21 • High 42, Low 29
Joey and I jigged for perch at first light and like yesterday, catching was a challenge. I simply do not know the
answer as to why it was so tough to catch fish this winter,
but if you read Lake Links, fish a lot, or have a lot of
friends who do, that was the common story.
This morning, all three of us were jigging and jabbering
when a fella pulled up on an ATV and told us his group
had left an auger on the ice yesterday. As today unfolded,
I spoke with many fishermen who had watched the story
develop.
When the group left (and it was a big group), they made
the mistake of leaving their auger, which is easy to happen
as they were amongst a lot of other fishermen. What really
bites is that a fella on an ATV saw their mistake, put his
gear in his sled, loaded up the auger and left the ice.
On the same day, some fishermen were getting bait at
a local bait shop and someone stole their Vexilar out of
their trailer. If someone did that to me and I caught them
red-handed, win or lose I would fight the rotten thief on
the spot.
As is always the case, we made this trip last all day and
I found a spot where some guys were catching a couple of
14-inch crappie. I made a plan to come back the very next
day and live here for three more days.
The trip to shore with our rig became a bit challenging,
as the ice was getting sketchy in one spot but looked to be

back the next day.
For an insane story, read this column next week!

while you’re building it. You just get a feel and when you
pick up some boards, you start thinking and looking at it, all
of the sudden it just comes out.”
Teardrop and hourglass shapes are the usual patterns,
but Germain also makes a hammered dulcimer, what he
calls the great-granddaddy of the piano – with a few differ-
ences.
When playing a piano, the musician pushes keys, which
moves hammers over the strings. With the hammered dulcimer, the player holds the hammers in their hands and lightly
hits the strings.
Although he doesn’t claim to be an expert, Germain of-
“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.
fers advice on where to go for training and tuning. He used
to take his demonstrations to heritage fairs and villages, but
says he’s slowed down over the years.
“I really enjoyed watching the kids light up when they saw
they could play a song,” said Germain.
With help from his wife, Judy, who “jumps in” to teach
kids how to play the dulcimer, Germain still visits farmers
markets and the Cornell Rendezvous. With easy to read music and numbered strings, the retiree says there is always a
crowd lined up at their booth.
Germain donates some of his creations to benefits and
sells a few each year, but says he’s not in it to make a profit.
He says, for him, it’s more about passing on the history of
the instrument.
“I never make two the same,” said Germain. “I’m always
looking to make the perfect one. And there’s always something a little bit wrong with each one, so I have to make the
next one better.”
Cornell resident Gary Germain plays a tune on
his hand-made mountain dulcimer with a pick and
noter. Originating in the Appalachian Mountains
more than 200 years ago, the stringed instrument
was traditionally played by settlers with feathers or
bones. Germain says the type and thickness of the
wood is key to the sound the dulcimer makes.
Now open in Chippewa Falls, Arcadia, Osseo, Menomonie and here in Cornell.

Germain says any age can play the instrument, and
