Hometown hero boards unforgettable flight

By Kayla Peche
As a crowd of over 1,000 came to cheer on the 80 veterans
coming home from a trip of a lifetime, one hometown hero
could only describe the day with one word: awesome.
I never expected that, said Eino Martino, World War II
veteran and Cornell native, of the crowd of people at Central
Wisconsin Airport. My right hand got so sore from shaking
hands with these people that Ihad to start shaking with my
left hand.
Eino graduated from Cornell High School and was drafted
for World War II in 1944. After boot camp in Great Lakes,
Ill., he was assigned to the amphibious Navy where he completed more training in Fort Pierce, Fla., and Norfolk, Va.
Once training was complete, he traveled to Pearl Harbor
in the South Pacific to work as escort and patrol at Manila
Bay. This was a few years after the Pearl Harbor bombing in
1941, but Eino said he still saw ships sunk in the water, and
needed to watch for Japanese soldiers ready to bomb U.S.
ships.
I counted about 20 ships, but I think there were more, he
said. They (Japanese) were belly up; most of them had a detonator bomb underneath. Then, they would float to try to hit
the side of the ship to blow it up.
Lions drive tops at $2,040

The Cornell Lions conducted a Community Fund Drive to
provide a scholarship to a Cornell High School senior. The
$2,000 scholarship is to be awarded at the Honor Banquet
next week, May 20.
Seventh and final week donations were made by MuleHide, Joe and Wendy Mittermeyer, and Catherine Moussette,
bringing the grand total of the drive to $2,040.
Eino also went to places like Shanghai and Hong Kong

during his two years in the war, and spent his last six months
on a landing ship tank.
I was over there when the atomic bomb dropped, Eino
said. Now that was something. Everyone was jumping up
and down, and hollering when it hit; glad to know that the
war was going to be ending pretty soon.
Now, almost 70 years later, Eino was given the opportunity
to revisit his past on the Never Forgotten Honor Flight thanks
to his daughter, Lori Kindschy, who signed him up and accompanied him on the trip.
It was unbelievable, said Lori. Getting to share this day
with my dad was a memory I will carry for a lifetime. Listening to his stories, some I hadnt heard yet, humbled me
beyond belief.
The large group of veterans from World War II, the Korean War,
and Vietnam left Mosinee airport Monday, April 27, around

Cadott Village Board
Rezone approved for future salon and spa

By Kayla Peche
After a large group discussion with neighboring public, the
Cadott Village Board approved rezoning the property at 531
N. Main Street from residential to commercial. However, the
approval came with stipulations decided at the May 4 regular
Cadott Village Board meeting.
This is a difficult decision to make, said Gerald Rykal,
board member, because no matter which way we go, some
people are going to be upset and some people are going to
be happy.
In November, Melinda Murkley and Liz Pitsch brought

forth the idea of building a full spa and salon with above
apartments and a community room at the property. Then, in
January, the board held a public hearing where residents
spoke about having a problem with the business coming to
that location.
I bought my home in a residential area thinking that it
would continue to be a residential neighborhood, said Jeremy Nawrocki, Cadott resident, at the Jan. 5 public hearing.

Public school districts throughout the

state, which include, Cadott, Cornell and
Lake Holcombe, will share $35.5 million in
library aid from the Common School Fund,
the only state funding specifically designated for the purchase of materials for
school libraries.
Aid is based on the number of children
between the ages of 4 and 20 living in each
school district, and this years school library aid payment will be $29.06 per child.
Funding is up $5.3 million from last year,
and the school census is up by 11,244 children. The per child payment will increase
about $4.11 per child from the 2013-14
school year.
As part of the funding, the Cadott
Schools will receive $32,807 to purchase
materials for the elementary and high
school libraries.
A lot will be spent on digital data bases
for students to reference, Chromebooks,
and books for the libraries, said Nick
Kotek, Cadott media specialist.
The Common Fund also provides the

Cornell School District with $16,389 in library aid.
The money will be used for Chromebook, computer software for the library,
and books for the elementary and high
school libraries, said Kathy Plahuta, Cornell media specialist. Books are the largest
share, but 25 percent of the money has to
be spent on media outside of books.
Lake Holcombe Schools $12,379 in aid
will be used to add laptops and Chromebooks to the libraries.
Used to be, you could only get books
and maybe some DVDs, said Jeanne Tonnancour, Lake Holcombe bookkeeper. But
the last four years, its opened up to technology. Last year we purchased 24
Chromebooks; the stipulation is they must
be housed in the library.
Districts must use Common School Fund
library aid by June 30 for the purchase of
print, digital and technology resources that

When life hands you lemons, look for flowers

By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
Life tends to have a way of piling up on
itself. One project gets interrupted by another, followed by some unexpected event
and a few wrenches tossed in for good
measure. As much as a person plans,
things never seem to turn out as predicted.
This past weekend, I chose to attend an outdoor music festival. It was something I looked forward to since tickets went
on sale sometime around December. I had recently learned
of my pregnancy, but my favorite band was playing so I had
to go, and it was almost three months before my due date.
No worries, right?
As the months crept along to both anticipated adventures,
I checked the bands website, keeping tabs if any new performance dates were set up in my area.
In April, a show in Milwaukee popped up and tickets were
a steal. I quickly looked at my calendar and determined Ihad
nothing going on that day the only issue, the musical festival was the following day.
The debate was on and I weighed the pros against the cons:
See my favorite band
Maybe be tired the
next day
Sleep through other
great bands
Drive 8 hours when I
could drive 3 hours
Watch the same show
twice in a row
Watch the same show twice in a row
My logic may not have been quite where it should have
been, so I asked a friend if she wanted to go with me. She
also was attending the festival the following day, but was
game for hiking it to Milwaukee the night before.
Eventually, I chose not to attend the concert Friday night,
and only go to the festival Saturday, which I already had the
tickets for. Being pregnant really drains a girl, and I opted to
do the grown up thing, and only attend one; as grown up
as going to a rock concert six months pregnant is.
The weeks leading up to the day of fun began to overflow
with work, news stories, baby to-dos and everything else
under the sun. Wrenches from left to right were getting
thrown into my schedule, and although it never really crossed
my mind to skip the concert, it had flittered across once or
twice.
In reality, there was no way I was going to miss my favorite
band, and no matter how many lemons life handed me, I was

going to that concert.

Saturday rolled around and my three companions arrived
on time. I, of course, was not ready, so after half an hour of
primping and curling my newly dyed hair (which I had to get
dyed twice because it washed out the first time; another
wrench), we were on our way.
The trip went smoothly and we turned off the highway only
to be greeted by a ridiculous line of cars; much more of this
and we would miss the first band. So I pulled up my phone
and rerouted our travel plans, taking a residential street and
cutting off a good chunk of stop and go traffic.
Within 10 minutes we were at the grounds and had a
(nearly) front row parking space. Perfect.
It was a warm day, so I left my sweatshirt in the truck and
braved the elements. The sun beat down on my bare shoulders, and within an hour they felt like I had stuck them in an
oven. In search of shade we came across a first-aid stand with
sunscreen and I caked some on the sore spots.
A few more wrenches, a $10 hamburger, $7 hotdog and
$55 sweatshirt at dark for my freezing arms later, and it was
time to go home.
Ill leave out the hairy details, but lets just say getting out
of the parking lot was a little morewrenchingthan it
needed to be I knew my car could take the little car with
the impatient driver behind me, but I really didnt want to
test whose bumper would hold up better.
The following day was Mothers Day, which meant visiting two families; something I was excited to do, but a little
worn out for, especially since we had the races to go to that
evening.
Around 10 a.m. I looked at my phone and saw a text from
one of the track workers. Because of track conditions and the
impending rain, the races had been cancelled. One less task
on my plate.
My husband and I headed to a wonderful lunch with my
mom, followed by a relaxing evening at my in-laws. But the
pile of work at home and on my desk, and everything that
needs to get done in the next 86 days until this kid arrives,
loomed in the back of my mind.
The truck pulled in the driveway and I just sat there, trying
to breathe and take in life before I went to editing on the
couch. After a short conversation about how hectic our lives
were, my husband suggested we go camping this weekend
and just relax. Without warning, the waterworks began and
several tears fell down my cheeks.
I knew I had to work and it wouldnt be possible to go, but
the idea he had even suggested it pulled at my heartstrings. I
went inside while he fed the hounds, and thought about how
everything in life had piled up without warning.
In three months Id have a newborn, and then there would
be no time. The stress continued to pile; and then my husband
walked in the door, holding a bouquet of white lilacs.
Happy Mothers Day, he said, from the baby and all
your four-legged kids.
Life gives us lemons sometimes, we just have to keep in
mind the flowers were given. The pile of lemons might still
be there, but in its midst, some beautiful flowers might just
make the lemons a little easier to stomach.
Lookin for safer roadways for everyone

By Kayla Peche
Get your motor runnin/Head out on
the highway/Lookin for adventure and
whatever comes our way
Even if youre born to be wild, you still
must be safe on the road with your hog,
and those who ride in a car or truck must
remember to look twice for bikes this
time of year.
According to the WisDOT, more than half a million Wisconsin residents have a motorcycle license or permit. They
also reported last year, there were 73 motorcycle riders and
passengers who died in Wisconsin traffic crashes. In order
to reduce the number of bike crashes, May is known as National Motorcycle Safety Awareness month.
Driving down the freeway, there will be constant reminders to look twice and save a life.
But do people actually do that? Busy roads contain a lot
of traffic rushing to get going, changing lanes and flying
by; sometimes forgetting to check their blind spots.
Despite the loud rumble of some bikes, a motorcycle
might be more than just a blind spot; bikes are a blind object.
Drivers can easily misjudge the speed and distance of
an approaching motorcycle because of its smaller dimensions, said Greg Patzer, manager of the Wisconsin Motorcycle Safety Program. To prevent crashes, drivers should
check the position of a motorcycle at least two or three
times before they proceed through an intersection or make
a turn.
With the warmer weather, it is time for large-vehicle drivers to share the road with bikers because, if the two cant
learn to share, it will be unsafe.
When it comes to the safety of a person on a bike compared to a person protected by the armor of a vehicle, the
danger level increases. Cars and trucks are equipped with
not only an outer shell but safety features, including
airbags and seat belts.
On the contrary, for a motorcycle, its more like ride at
your own risk. People can purchase leather wear outfits,
helmets, eye wear and gloves, but thats the only thing between the person and the pavement.
And sometimes, those precautions are not even taken. In
Wisconsin, motorcyclists over 18 are not required to wear
a helmet. So, without the protection, even a minor crash
could be fatal.
Some fatal crashes happen because cyclists dont have

proper training before heading out.
Nearly 42 percent of motorcyclist fatalities in 2013 involved riders who had not completed the safety training or
skills test required to obtain a license, reported the WisDOT.
Just in the area, future bikers can travel to Chippewa Valley Technical College in Eau Claire, Wisconsin Indianhead
Technical College in Rice Lake or North Central Technical
College in Wausau to receive the proper training and tests
to successfully complete a rider education course.
Take the written test and the road test, and youre on your
way to racin with the wind. Even in Wisconsin, after passing the knowledge test, a sign test and a vision screening,
a person can drive with only a few restrictions. These restrictions include wearing a helmet and having an experienced driver ride with a permit holder at night.
That doesnt mean those who have a permit dont know
how to drive, but people are more nervous when theyre inexperienced.
Inexperience can also be fatal when it comes to control,
and speed and alcohol were considered primary factors
in 56 percent of the deaths in motorcycle crashes in 2012,
according to WisDOT.
Wisconsin is known to have the highest rate of drunk
driving in the nation, and according to Daniel Lonsdorf,
WisDOT director, there were more than 44,000 convictions
for drunken driving last year.
Whether you are driving a vehicle or driving a motorcycle, there shouldnt be excessive alcohol in your system.
At a blood alcohol level (BAC) 0.02-0.03, a person loses
coordination skills with possible lightheadedness, reported
by the Be Responsible About Drinking program. Therefore,
just after one drink, coordination to steer a bike could be
impaired.
Why take a chance with more than one drink, especially
with little to no protection in an accident?
The program goes on to say that at 0.04-0.06 (still legal
in Wisconsin), your inhibitions are lowered, lowering your
sense of caution. With that, the possibility of speeding increases.
Motorcycle Safety Awareness month is to be cautious, so
adding alcohol or high speed will not promote the cause.
This month, and all summer really, when youre out looking for adventure, make sure to look out for motorcycles
too.

Lake Holcombe held their annual town meeting April 21, with a record turnout. New board members attended, along with the outgoing board members. Robert Bayerl, former board chairman, said attendance

Check the date of your dot to donate

Donate Life Wisconsin, a non-profit collaborative of healthcare organizations and professionals, announced that this
years National Donate Life Month marks the fifth anniversary
of the Wisconsin Donor Registry.
Since the registry was launched in 2010, nearly 4,000 lives
in Wisconsin have been saved through organ donation, and
thousands more have received eye and tissue donations. To
date, more than 2.6 million eligible Wisconsin residents have
legally registered their decision to be a donor upon their passing.
Thats more than half of the eligible donors in our state,
said Joanne Grunau, president of Donate Life Wisconsin. The
online registry has made it easy to make the decision to donate
official.
But there are still nearly two million eligible Wisconsin residents including many with orange dots on their drivers licenses or state IDs who are not yet legally registered donors.
Were urging all residents to check the date of your dot.
With state residents only renewing their licenses once every
eight years, many drivers may have orange dots, but are not
yet officially noted as donors on the registry. Drivers with a license, or residents with a state ID, dated before March 29,
2010, (even those with an orange donor dot) need to legally
register online as an organ, tissue and eye donor at YesIWillWisconsin.com.
For those who dont yet have an orange dot and are not yet
registered donors, there is no need to wait until your license is
up for renewal, Grunau says. You can register right now online as an organ, tissue and eye donor.
Make your decision known and legal. Its the critical difference between saying I want and I will.
Documenting donation decisions on the Wisconsin Donor
Registry provides healthcare professionals with immediate access 24/7 to confirm a donors decision, and then to share that
information with loved ones as they work together to honor
the donors choice.
Any one of us someday could need a transplant, said
Martha Mallon, Organ and Tissue Donation program director.
People with high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, burns and
other common illnesses and injuries are on wait lists for transplants that can save or improve their lives.
About 2,350 Wisconsin residents are awaiting transplants,
and every 10 minutes another person is added to the national
transplant wait list. An individual donor can save or improve
up to 50 of those lives.
To register as an organ, tissue and eye donor, individuals
must be 15 and a half or older, and have a drivers license or
state ID. Everyone who authorized donation at the DMV after
March 29, 2010, is legally
registered.

From the WisDOT

More than a half million Wisconsin residents have a motorcycle license or permit, and many of them have already
started this years riding season.
As motorcycles continue to grow in popularity among men
and women of all ages, safety is a constant concern. Last year,
73 motorcycle riders and passengers died in Wisconsin traffic
crashes.
May is National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month,
which is an opportunity to remind drivers to share the road
and watch for motorcycles, especially at intersections and
while making turns and lane changes, says Greg Patzer,
manager of the Wisconsin Motorcycle Safety Program
(WMSP). Drivers can easily misjudge the speed and distance of an approaching motorcycle because of its smaller dimensions.
To protect themselves and others on the road, motorcyclists
are legally required to have a motorcycle endorsement on
their driver license.
Too many people have been riding for years without a
valid motorcycle endorsement on their driver license, Patzer
says. Its a serious problem especially for those who have
not ridden a motorcycle for several years and are beginning
to ride again.
Motorcyclistsshould always wear protective and conspicuous clothing and gear, including a helmet that meets or
exceeds U.S. DOT standards.
Tobacco checks expand to

e-cigarettes in minor sales
Local tobacco retailer checks that make sure stores dont

sell tobacco products to minors are expanding to include ecigarettes, according to the Chippewa County Department of
Public Health.
The change is being made through the statewide Wisconsin
Wins program to address the rising popularity of e-cigarettes
with teens, which typically come in candy and fruit flavors,
and are often perceived as less harmful than cigarettes.
A 2014 Wisconsin Youth Tobacco Survey shows 7.9 percent of that states high school students use e-cigarettes, and
nationally, in 2013, 4.5 percent of high school students reported using e-cigarettes.

Tales of our Beginnings

Cadott Cornell Lake Holcombe areas
The first school in Cornell opened Dec. 2, 1907, with 13 children. Josephine Fleury,
Boyd, taught there first, but was married before the school year was over, so Anna Butler
taught the remainder of the year.
A new school was built in 1908-09, and Mrs. August Stall was the new teacher. Enrollment varied between two and 28 students.
As Cornells population increased, the school became too small to accommodate the
children, so they were schooled in other places, such as the union hall (Thomas Hall),
the Variety Store, the Sheeltz House, above the furniture store, and the Village Hall.
In 1912-13, the new white school was built, and the three-story high school was
erected in 1914. Another addition was added in 1920-21.
The first graduating class consisted of two students Bernard Forcier and Bertha
Miller. Loren Van Gorden was the first principal, and basketball was first introduced in
1916.

Hauger added to Whitetail Properties agent network

Whitetail Properties, a recreational real estate company,
has named Neil A. Hauger as its new agent and land specialist
for the Chippewa, Eau Claire, Rusk, Taylor and Trempeleau
Counties.
The expansion of our Agent and Land Specialist network
further strengthens our ability to meet the needs of our
clients, said Dan Perez, CEO of Whitetail Properties. Neils
comprehensive understanding of recreational real estate sales
and marketing will greatly benefit all clients and future
clients in the west central Wisconsin market.
Prior to Whitetail Properties, Hauger worked as a national
director of sales in the medical device

industry, where he directed a sales
force around 200 reps nationwide.
After leaving the industry in October
2013, Hauger chose to pursue a career
in real estate land sales, and began the
interview process with Whitetail
Properties Real Estate.
My wife, Denise, and I work the
business together, says Hauger.

Rusk County Memorial Hospital (RCMH) patient rooms were rated among the top 52
cleanest hospital patient rooms in the country. With more than 5,600 hospitals in the United
States, according to the American Hospital Association, this places the hospital in the top 1
percent in the country for patient room cleanliness.
My staff and I have established very high standards for cleaning because hospital cleanliness is a fundamental aspect of infection prevention and patient well-being in health care
settings, said Margaret Bennett, environmental services manager.
Beckers Hospital Review, which reports on hospital and health care issues, compiled and
published the ratings on their website in April. Beckers formulated these results from patient
input gathered through Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems
(HCAHPS) surveys.
According to 2013 HCAHPS survey data, the most recent
year available, 89 percent of Rusk County Memorial Hospital
patients reported their room and bathroom as always clean.
The hospitals rating was 15 percent higher than the national
average for patients reporting their hospital room and bathroom as always clean.
Our building may be old, but this superior rating illustrates our commitment to maintaining a clean, safe and pleasant environment for our patients, said Charisse Oland,
RCMH CEO. It is an honor to be recognized as one of 52
hospitals in the country and one of only seven hospitals in

Project shows youth they can grow that

News that can be heard up and down the
Stanley-Boyd School halls lately is, I can
grow that! and students say they are excited to hear about the possibility of building a greenhouse in the school courtyard.
The proposed greenhouse project was
initiated and planned by Stanley-Boyds
local FFA Alumni chapter, a community
structured organization whose primary objective is to provide educational skills,
funding and support for learning in agriculture.
Planners of the greenhouse say their goal
is to give children and young adults a
greater awareness of the food system, and
hands-on learning, lifelong skills and investment into the betterment of the communitys future are just some of the benefits.

The Cleveland Ranchers 4-H Club, in observance of Earth Day, purchased and
planted a lilac bush, Colorado blue spruce tree and an evergreen shrub outside
the Cleveland Town Hall. Funding for the purchase came from part of the proceeds from the bake sale hosted at the hall during the November election. On
May 2, the youth also picked up garbage along the
road and, over the past three years, the club has
collected over 40 bags of garbage. Left to right, in

Barbara Barb Opal Smith
Barbara Barb Opal Smith,
Cornell, passed away on her
78th birthday Saturday, May
9, 2015, at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, surrounded
by her family.
Barbara was born to Adolph
and Opal (Kennett) Anderson,
in Hammond, Ind., May 9,
1937.
Barbara married the love of
her life, Jack Smith, Jan. 3,
1955, in Crandon, and recently
celebrated their 60th anniversary.
Barb touched the lives of many people. She was famously
known as Nana by many an adult and child. She adopted one
and all into her fold.
Her sharp wit and unique sense of humor endeared her to
everyone she met. She loved people and people loved her.
She spent many fun filled hours playing cards with her
friends and following the local high school sports teams.
Some of her favorite things were horse races, basketball
and football games, boating, camping, picnicking, and long
phone calls with friends and family.
Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were her greatest joy.
She loved bright and beautiful colors and flowers (so much
like her personality).
The family would like to extend a special thank you to all
of the staff at Sacred Heart Hospital. She marveled at the tender care she received while there, and was fond of the staff
attending to her.
She is survived by Jack; their four children, John (Barb Jorgensen) Smith, Cornell, Larry Smith, Santa Barbara, Calif.,
Connie (Wally) Knudson, Holmen, and Ron Smith, Stevens
Point; and will be greatly missed by grandchildren, Brian
Madlon (Judy Lund), Sheldon, Ryan Emerson, Eau Claire,
Charesse (Chris) Popp, Holmen, Trisha Clark, Holmen,
Kayla (Nick) Phillipi, Clintonville, Lindsey (David)
Milewski, Las Vegas, Nev., Casey Smith, Crandon, Zack
Smith, Stevens Point; and great-grandchildren, Hannah,
Jenna, Gracey, Boston, Regan, Ashland, Brynn, Presley,
Avery and Olivia.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Adolph and

Cadott Village Board - Continued from Front

Other neighbors agreed the business would add chaotic
traffic and less places for parking.
Once the board heard the arguments for and against
the rezone change, they requested a state approved plan
from Murkley and Pitsch. Murkley advised the board she
wanted the rezone approved before spending money on the
plans.
The motion was passed with five in favor (Rykal, Charles
Sedivy, Randy Kuehni, Anson Albarado and Bart Chapek),
one against (Lester Liptak) and one absent (Terry Licht).
I dont want to see businesses go, added Kuehni with

his yes vote.
With the rezone approval, conditions were made that the
state approved plans be similar to ones shown, and if for
some reason the plans should fall through, the property
would return to residential.
The final approval is pending a legal look over from the
village attorney, on conditions made with the rezone.
On other agenda, the board approved participation in a
facilitated competitive bid process for recycling and waste
collection services.
By participating in the
bid, Chippewa County will

Cornell Spanish students slow down for the blink of an eye

By Monique Westaby
Seventeen Spanish students tackled the unknown and traveled across the ocean for a
10-day class trip, seeing the sights and broadening their understandings.
Students who travel the world are much more prepared to tackle the unknown and
think for themselves, said Sarah McCutcheon, Cornell Spanish teacher. We had a blast
together. The students themselves were maybe even surprised at times by how much fun
they had with classmates they normally dont hang out with.
The group from Cornell High School, along with nine chaperones, spent time in Madrid,
Toledo, Granada, Costa del Sol, Seville, Morocco and Crdoba. Tours and sight seeing
awaited at each city, showcasing the historical and famous aspects of each.
I love the simplicity and lightness of the country, said junior Whitney Wallerius of
the March/April trip. Things seemed to slow down in Spain, even though our trip began
and ended in the blink of an eye.
McCutcheon says she has traveled extensively in her life, and although a class trip as
a tourist with students was a lot of work, she said it was absolutely worth every moment. Her group even received several compliments on their attentiveness to local
guides.
In addition to taking guided tours and learning about the history of bullfights, royal
weddings and seeing expert craftsmanship in the Palacio Real palace, the visitors crossed
the Strait of Gibraltar via ferry, entered Morocco on a bus, and rode camels, walked
through a market and visited a local school.

Band and choir students have positive experience

By Monique Westaby
After fund-raising for a year and a half, Lake Holcombe
band and choir students made the 20 hour, 1,374 mile trip to
San Antonio to experience the historic city.
I think the trip was a positive experience for the students,
said Melissa Wojcik, choral/general music instructor. They
learned a lot about the history of San Antonio. Many of them
said they enjoyed the River Boat tour the best.
Three of the five days were spent in San Antonio, getting
acquainted with the city at the River Walk, the Mercado, the
Mexican Market and the River Boat tour.
My favorite part of the trip was the River Walk, said Bailey Viegut, junior, because of all the new things I got to see
Students and chaperones took part in rides at Sea

World and Six Flags Fiesta while on their band and

and experience.
The group also explored the historical aspects of the city,
and visited the Alamo and two missions. Junior Kyle Girard
said this was his favorite of the trip, although Six Flags was
also fun.
My favorite part of my trip was going to Six Flags, said
first-time traveler Aubrey Meddaugh, eighth-grade, referencing riding roller costers with friends and challenging themselves.
Aside from the history and Six Flags Fiesta adventure, the
48 youth and chaperones saw several musical performances
at Sea World, and went on a few rides.
It was a good experience for us as directors, said Wojcik
of her and band director Jim Aerts. The students were very
well behaved and excited to see and do everything we had
planned. It was also helpful to have wonderful chaperones
with us.
A coach bus took the youth/chaperones from Lake Holcombe to Texas and back March 31-April 4, and Wojcik says
she hopes to start a tradition of rotating a shorter and longer
trip every two years.
We feel that trips provide students with various performance opportunities and experiences outside of the northwest
Wisconsin area, said Wojcik. San Antonio taught kids the
value of budgeting their spending moneyThey also became
aware of their surroundings and safety in numbers.
Kayla Vavra, junior, said the trip was a lot of fun, and suggests future students work toward a similar trip.
It was a very fun experience, agreed Girard. I encourage
all future classes to work toward a trip to further their learning experience.
It was very great to have an opportunity like this, added
Viegut. Thank you to all the chaperones and our bus company for making the trip that much better.

Jake Ebner, Knights track head coach, said although the
teams may not have had their best times, distance or height
of the year, the athletes competed well. We still have some
work to do in order to reach our end of the season goals.
Senior Danielle Gygi and junior Jordan Geist dominated
at the meet, raking in 56 points between the two. Gygi took
first in the 300-meter hurdles, and second in the 100-meter
hurdles and high jump. She also took second as part of the
4x200-meter relay team of seniors Kaitlin Peterson and
Amanda Ewer, and Geist.
Geist earned a first place finish in the 100-meter dash and
second in the 200-meter dash. Thia Moreen, senior, took
home second in the 800-meter run and second in the 4x400meter relay team with freshmen Isabelle Dixon and Kierra
Walters, and junior Lexi Moussette.
In field events, senior Gretchen Schroeder took third in

The Cadott Hornets Track team made their way to a first
place finish starting off the week, and may have moved to a
last place finish at the Cardinal Invite a week later, but PRs
were broken during the boys and girls efforts each meet.

The Hornets raced, jumped and threw their way ahead of
four other schools during the May 5 Gilman Invitational,
claiming first place for the girls and boys teams.
This was a fun meet as a large number of athletes were

coach.
For the girls team, junior Elizabeth Kyes had two first
place finishes in the 100-meter dash and the girls triple jump.
Rothbauer says Kyes hit a personal best (PR) in the triple

Down, up, down week for Hornets baseball
Page
By Kayla Peche
and Monique Westaby
The Cadott Hornets Baseball team had a roller-coaster
week, going 1-2 in their games against Stanley-Boyd, Eau
Claire Regis and Thorp. The two conference losses and one
conference win moved the team to last in the Cloverbelt.
May 5 vs. Stanley-Boyd (L 5-1, conference)
Previously losing to Stanley-Boyd by four, Cadott kept the
scores closer May 5,
but still had a similar
outcome. By the third
inning, the Orioles
were ahead by a run,
and the Hornets
werent getting the
hits to bring them
home.
For some reason
our batters struggle to
adjust to pitching that
isnt as fast, said
Peter Devine, Hornet
head coach. This
happened to us after
our offense was our
best part early in the
year. Im not sure
why the change has
occurred.
Junior Austin Goettl
still made three hits,
while senior Brett

three strikeouts.
Devine said Michael did well by only giving up two earned
runs. Stanley-Boyd earned three more runs because of defensive errors by the Hornets, taking the 5-1 win.
Hopefully our hitters make the adjustments and start driving the ball a little better, said Devine.
May 7 vs. Eau Claire Regis (W 9-2, conference)
At Carson Park in Eau Claire, the Hornets finally got
swings at bat to earn a victory May 7, against Regis. Cadott
had seven runs in the sixth inning to take the lead and eventually the 9-2 win.
We played a little better defensively, said Devine. And
we did some fundamental things better.
Junior Casey Schara had two hits for the Hornets, while
Michael and junior Jake Holum each added one hit and two
RBIs.
The offensive production was spread throughout most of
the lineup, Devine said. So, it was a real team effort in the
game.
Senior Austin Najbrt also had two RBIs for Cadott, and
Goettl and sophomore Dominick Grimm each had a walk.
On the mound, Goettl pitched a complete game, with only
five hits and two runs, striking out 10.
May 8 vs. Thorp (L 5-2, conference)
It was a down, up, down week for Cadott, as they lost 5-2
to the Thorp Cardinals in a May 8 matchup that Devine says
they should have won.
We lost to a team we should have beaten, and already beat
earlier this year, said Devine. We just couldnt sit back and
wait on the slower pitching we were seeing.
Devine said the team has been having this issue all season,
and adjusting from Regis pitcher the night before was difficult.
McChesney and Najbrt had two hits for the day, while Sedlacek had one. Michael and Grimm had two walks, and
Goettl and Schara each had one RBI.
Michael pitched most of the game, throwing four strikeouts.
I looked at the season stats after the Thorp game, and our
team on-base percentage is about 315, says Devine. So
were getting on base less than one third of our plate appear-
ances. Our slugging percentage (power) is about the same,

so were not getting on base enough.
The Hornets will have three more chances this week at
adding a win, when they take on Osseo-Fairchild May 15,
Fall Creek May 19 and McDonell Central May 21.
Team contributions earn

two conference victories
By Kayla Peche
and Monique Westaby
Three games in four days brought the Cadott Hornets Softball team two conference wins this week, something head
coach Kari Moldrem says each player helped with.
May 5 vs. Stanley-Boyd (W 19-1, conference)
Cadott took a dominating lead with six runs in the bottom
of the first inning at the May 5 game against Stanley-Boyd.
The Orioles made it home once in the second, but failed to
score again. The Hornets slammed the bats and ran the bases,
gaining 13 more runs in the third inning.
With over 10 runs ahead, the game was called early after
the fifth, and the Hornets earned their second conference win
of the season, 19-1.
Each player really contributed to the win, said Kari Moldrem, Cadott softball head coach.
Sophomore Brittany Erickson led for the Hornets with
three runs and four RBIs while junior Bailee Bremness added
three runs with one RBI.
Seniors Racheal Semanko, Marisa Sperber and Sam Rineck, and sophomore Jessa Raether, junior Ashley Kramer
and sophomore Bobbi Burgess, each added two runs for
Cadott. Semanko and Raether also had four RBIs each while
Rineck had three and Sperber had two.
May 7 vs. Eau Claire Regis (W 20-11, conference)
The Hornets were off to another good start May 7, at Eau
Claire, scoring nine runs in the first inning.
As the game progressed, the Regis Ramblers took the lead
with 11 runs, but Cadott wouldnt give up that easy, scoring
11 to end with a 20-11 conference victory.
L. Kramer led for the Hornets with four runs and two RBIs.
Semanko and A. Kramer each made it home three times,
while freshman Grace Ellenbecker, Raether, Sperber and Rineck stepped on home plate twice for Cadott.
For four innings, Erickson was on the mound with four
strikeouts and walks. L. Kramer relieved her in the fifth, allowing one hit with two strikeouts.
May 8 vs. Thorp (L 7-0, conference)
With two conference wins under their belt, the Hornets
went into the May 8 game against Thorp 3-5 in the conference. But the shutout game dropped them to sixth in the
Cloverbelt, and moved Thorp tied for first with McDonell
Central.
L. Kramer pitched five of the six innings, throwing one
strikeout and nine hits, while Erickson pitched one inning
with two strikeouts and one hit.
Semanko, Sperber and Kramer
each had one hit
on the overcast,
cool afternoon
in Thorp.

Errors move boys to fourth

By Monique Westaby
The Cornell-Lake Holcombe Knights Baseball team traveled to Prairie Farm to take on the undefeated Panthers. The
Panthers kept their winning streak, and sent the Knights packing in a 10-2 game May 8.
Prairie Farms pitcher did an excellent job of keeping our
hitters off balance and their defense played well, said head
coach John Lee. Prairie Farm scored first and just kept
adding runs each inning to get their final 10 runs.
The Knights didnt score until the sixth inning, when sophomore Matt Kostka hit a home run, bringing himself and
classmate Jeremiah Reedy in for the only two runs of the day.
Reedy pitched five innings, giving up 10 runs on nine hits,
four walks and six strike outs. He was relieved by senior Preston Strzok in the sixth.
Lee says Cornell-Lake Holcombe made four costly errors
during the match up, and if it wasnt for those, it would have
been a lot closer game.
The boys moved to fourth in the conference with the loss,
and take on Flambeau May 15, and Bruce May 19.
Knights crank up the heat

to show what they can do
By Monique Westaby
The Cornell-Lake Holcombe Knights Softball team took
on the Prairie Farm Panthers May 8. Although the boys
didnt tally a win, the girls did, adding to their 4-2 conference
record.
We have had a repeat in the last couple games where in
the last two innings we crank up the heat and really show
what we can do, said Katelyn Omtvedt, senior. That is what
happened in Prairie Farm, and we came back and won, 7-4.
With the win, the girls move to third in the conference, just
behind first place Flambeau and second place Bruce.
The team traveled to Cameron for a non-conference
matchup May 12, followed by two more games May 14 and
15, against Winter and Flambeau.

Hornets have busy week ahead, but keep driving forward
Cadott freshman Rachel Manier broke the 100meter dash hurdles record with a time of 18.5 seconds at the annual Cadott Frosh Decathlon April 29.
The previous record was 18.6, set by Sarah Sikora
in 1983, and later tied by Alison West in 1992.

Record breaking
becomes tradition
By Kayla Peche
As Cadott freshmen finish out their final months of their
first year of high school, the physical education program held
a decathlon to test their athleticism.
Ed Lenard, former Cadott educator and coach, started the
Cadott Frosh Decathlon as a graduate project in 1980. All
ninth-grade students at Cadott High School since that time
have participated in the event.
This year marks the 35th year of the unit, and Scott Christenson, Cadott physical education instructor, says students
practiced the 10 events, like 100-meter dash, 1,600-meter
run, high jump, shot put and 100-110 meter hurdles, before
the official decathlon April 29.
Students compete against established times and distances
in 10 track and field events with up to 80 points per event,
Christenson said. All-time point winners and top performances in each event have been recorded since the beginning.
After 35 years, there have been 1,336 boys and 1,206 girls
tested in the decathlon. Christenson says with the increasing
number of students, records are becoming more difficult to
break. However, this year, Rachel Manier broke a 23-yearold 100-meter hurdle record.
I was kind of in shock actually because I didnt think I
would be able to do it, Manier said.
For about four months, Manier has been recovering from
a hamstring tear. She said she was out for most of the first
month of track season because of physical therapy, and was
recently getting back into things.
I didnt know how it was going to go, Manier said.
Manier jumped the hurdles in a time of 18.5 seconds,
breaking the previous record of 18.6, set by Sarah Sikora in
1983, and later tied by Alison West in 1992.
Cadott High School and the physical education department
congratulated Manier for her accomplishment.
With hurdling a family tradition starting with her mother,
Manier says her goal is to be as good as her sister, Lauren
Manier, who holds the overall Cadott school record in hurdles.
She inspires me, R. Manier said. So, you could say it
kind of runs in the family.

The Cadott Hornets Golf team continues to inch toward a
first place conference finish, taking home a first and second
place finish at meets this week.
May 5 at Columbus Catholic
After placing first in Marathon the day before, Cadotts
golf team placed first again at the May 5 Columbus Invitational. The Hornets had a team score of 169, well above second-place finisher McDonell Centrals 177.
Dick Kyes, Cadott golf head coach, said it is a team goal
to defeat McDonell in the conference, and first place finishes
are bringing them one step closer.
Sophomore Payton Freagon led for the Hornets with a
score of 39, followed by his classmate, Henry Wojtczak, with
40. For Cadott, Wojtczak is in the lead for conference individuals with a three-way tie for third at 33 points.
Cadott junior Matt Irish and senior Kaeden Thom tied with
a score of 45 at Columbus, while sophomore Kaylee Rudnick
scored 50 for the team.
May 9 at Whistling Straits Irish Course
It was a nice 55 degrees with 15-17 mph winds at the
Whistling Straits Irish course May 9. In the Division 2 class,
Cadott took home a seventh place finish with a team score
of 359.
It was definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity to golf
at that course, said Thom. The weather was pretty nice, although the wind was pretty strong and played a factor in
playing.
The Irish Straits Course is part of the complex where the
PGA tour event will be held later this year, said Thom. Cadott
golfed the Irish course, while the PGA tour will be held on
the Straits Course.
Thom and Rudnick had the lowest scores for the day,
adding only 86 points to the teams total. Freagon added 89
points, while Wojtczak and Irish added 90 and 94.
As a team, we all enjoyed the course, said Thom.
May 11 at Regis
The team traveled to Eau Claire two days later to tee-off
at the Eau Claire Country Club, earning a second place finish
just behind McDonell Central.
Rudnick shot her lowest score of the season with a 93, and
Wojtczak placed second individually after shooting a 79.
Cadotts Golf team has a busy week ahead, with another
match scheduled for Meadowview Golf Course in OwenWithee May 12, followed by a Thursday meet in Eau Claire,
Saturday meet at home (Whispering Pines) and Tuesday meet
at Skyline Golf Course in Black River Falls.

Changes come for snowmobilers

By Kayla Peche
There may not be snow on the ground, but Chippewa Valley Snowmobile Clubs are informing the public on changes to registration prices and trail pass requirements.
Dean Johnson, director of Chippewa Countys Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile
Clubs (AWSC), spoke at the April 18 Chippewa Valley Snowmobile Open House in Cornell
to discuss the changes for snowmobilers.
There will be a whole new system where you have to buy a trail pass for your sled, Johnson said.
Starting July 1, snowmobile registration will cost $30
for three years, as opposed to
the previous $30 for two
years. Along with registration, snowmobiles in Wisconsin are now required to
carry a Wisconsin trail pass
to operate on public trails.
In 2012-13, Wisconsins
snowmobile program made
about $8.6 million in revenue from registration, gas
tax and non-resident trail Russ Krum (right), of the Chippewa Valley Snowpasses, but the expenses, in- mobile Organization, introduces Dean Johnson

other administration, cost the Chippewa Valley Snowmobile Clubs Open House in
program about $7.6 million. Cornell. Johnson spoke on changes to registration
We have 480 miles of prices and trail pass requirements, and answered
trails in Chippewa County, questions from riders.
and theres 122 that arent funded, Johnson said. We groom them for nothing. We are putting all that money into those trails, and not getting paid.
Johnson says the trail pass requirements will help maintain and groom trails, without the
worry of finances.
If a snowmobiler belongs to an AWSC, the trail pass will cost $10 annually. For those who
dont belong to a club, the pass will cost $30, and non-Wisconsin residents will be charged
$50.
That way if they (non-club members) arent going to be here and theyre not going to do
anything, Johnson said. Then its going to cost a little bit more.
Johnson said once registered, club members can receive their discounted trail pass by contacting the AWSC online, or at the office in DeForest. Others may order online or purchase
at any DNRlicense sale agent.
The trail pass will be delivered by mail within seven days,
so Johnson advises picking up a pass as soon as possible.
Along with the registration change and addition of a trail
pass, resident owners of snowmobiles 35 years and older can
now register those sleds as antiques. The change provides the
sleds with a free annual trail pass, but the owner must still
complete the one-time antique registration.
Trail groomers were showcased at a snowmobile

open house in Cornell. Dean Johnson, director of
Chippewa Countys Association of Wisconsin
Snowmobile Clubs, said trails are made possible by
snowmobile club volunteers who provide the labor
to brush, sign and groom the trails, and the
landowners who allow trails to cross their property.
Miss Snowflake, Macy

Wasson, attended the
open house in Cornell
April 18, encouraging
younger generations to
get involved with clubs
because they are the
future of snowmobiling.

The Power of a Gun
I grew up with guns. I
mean, I didnt have one in
the crib with me or strapped to my side throughout my
childhood, but I knew my way around firearms.
We were a hunting family, and an evening of shooting
empty pop cans or milk jugs filled with water wasnt an
uncommon Friday night activity.
Supervision was a must, and we were never allowed to
use a gun or touch them without a parent home. In fact,
the idea that guns were toys never crossed my mind, and
my brothers and I always handled them with the respect
they deserve.
These days, kids with guns causes uproar, while even
having guns in the house causes minor heart attacks when
some people hear about it. But in my life, not having guns
would have taken away many priceless memories from
my youth.
Like when Grandpa Wes gave me his scoped semi-auto
.22 for my 12th birthday. Granted, it wasnt the fanciest
gun in the world, but getting that from him was one of the
coolest gifts Ive received. (And earned me bragging
rights that the girl in the family got it instead of the boys.)
Or when Pa helped me target practice before our big
turkey hunt. He grabbed the shells and loaded the 12
gauge for me, showing me where each one went and how
it would come out following the fire and pump.
Nervous it was going to hurt, Pa reminded me to keep
my finger off the trigger until I was ready to squeeze it,
and be sure of my target and surroundings. He told me not
to flinch, and never close my eyes.
I followed his instructions and pulled the trigger. To my
surprise, the 2 3/4 inch shell didnt even hurt; I could totally handle another one of those, so I pulled the gun up
and took another shot. That one hurt a bit more, and by
the third, my shoulder was aching.
Pa said it must have just gotten sore, but later admitted
to loading the gun with three different size shells - 2 3/4
inch, followed by 3 inch, followed by the 3 1/2 inch
doozy. I gave Pa a scowl while both of us tried not to
laugh.
People might say loading your kids gun with heavier
strength ammo is mean, and I may have had a small bruise
on my shoulder, but it didnt hurt or damage me.
Some of my favorite sibling memories are hunting with
my brothers, and I wouldnt trade those in for the world.
Todays kids are taught that guns are bad. Unfortunately, society has drilled that into parents brains when in
reality, its not the guns that are bad, its the people who
abuse them.
Never underestimate the power of a gun, but never underestimate the power that comes with knowledge of a
gun either.
A friend and I tough out our bruises

after a day of shooting shotguns.

DNR Outdoor Report

In the north, walleye anglers find action to be generally
good, with decent catches of walleye in the 12 to 18 inch
range.
Northern pike action is fair, but surprisingly good bass action is reported, with smallmouth more active than largemouth.
Panfish action is starting to pick up, as crappie have begun
to move into the shallow bays in good numbers. Bluegill
have also moved to shallows.
Trout anglers have done well on some of the managed trout
lakes and spring ponds, with most success for brook trout in
the 8 to 10 inch size.
Much needed rain has fallen, although it was not widespread across the state. Most of northern Wisconsin remains
in elevated fire danger.
In the past week, 88 wildfires burned 252 acres in DNR
protection areas, destroying 19 buildings. Another 44 were
threatened, but saved with firefighter assistance.
Spring turkey hunters have done well, with toms in the
north still fairly active, but becoming less active in the southern part of the state. Many hens are now sitting on nests.
Other young animals, such as raccoons, squirrels, fox, coyote and rabbits are also in their nests and dens.
There have been reports of mallard ducks and Canada
geese with broods, and red crossbill and pine siskin have
fledged young.
Blackflies have hatched, and ticks are also out. More mosquitos and lake flies are out now, but also some dragonflies.
Pasque flower is out on open prairies. Trilliums and trout
lilies have begun to bloom, as well as wood and false rue
anemones, dutchmans breeches, marsh marigold, jack-inthe-pulpit, wood violet and hepaticas.
Cherry and plum trees are in bloom.
Wild asparagus is now up. The invasive garlic mustard is
up and getting close to the bolting stage.
The warm weather and rain has also caused a dramatic
flush in the greening and there are reports of more little gray
morels emerging.
An Outdoorsmans Journal By Mark Walters

Turkey with a Bow
Hello friends,
About 10 years ago I tried hunting turkey with a bow and
arrow for the first time. I was hunting in Missouri with my
good buddy, Pete Hagedorn, and on day one I had a truly
massive tom come into the pasture I had set my blind in the
middle of.
The tom had a triple beard and was very heavy. I put an
arrow right through his arm/wing pit and he rolled over. He
rolled over that is, until I started getting out of my blind.
Then he woke up and ran off into the woods. That was one
of my top five worst hunting memories.
I literally spent the next day looking for him and though
I didnt find him, I did find a massive shed antler. The tom,
which would later be spotted alive, was just an unfulfilled
memory.
The following spring, I was hunting on private land near
my Juneau County home and someone stole my bow out of
my blind.
The next spring, which was the last time I tried harvesting
a turkey with a bow and arrow, I was with my then 14-yearold stepson, Kevin. It was snowing, Kevin has just put the
lights out on a tom, and I was cooking eggs in the blind.
I had a tom coming in just perfect and Kevin started
laughing really hard about something. The tom heard him
and was gone, just like that. Kevin ate a snowball sandwich
after that experience.
Wednesday, May 6 High, 72, Low 43
Less than two years ago, I planted my first food plot. My
daughter, Selina, was a big help and my friend, Scott Christensen (plant manager at Allied Cooperative in Adams), was
the person who gave me a lot of advice.
Selina does most of the bow hunting on the food plot, and
we both turkey hunt it. Today, I would be alone and for the
first time in several years, I would try for my first gobbler
with a bow and arrow. I was prepared to put seven full days
in the blind, and was determined to succeed.
Long before daylight I was sitting in my blind and thoroughly loving life, as I was on the job. The temperature was
very comfortable and I had gobblers gobbling from their
roosts in two directions.
I heard the birds fly down from their roosts and after
awhile it was obvious they were working away from my
blind, as their gobbling became more distant.
A couple hours into the hunt I could tell they had turned
my way and comfortably waited for the story to unfold.
At 8 a.m., three jakes immersed from the forest and made
a beeline for my hen and jake decoys. For 10 minutes I
could have easily sent an arrow their direction. I took their
picture and made the choice that it was day one I needed
to hold out for a mature tom.
My patience was soon rewarded when I saw a big tom
come from the same direction as the jakes; and he was
headed for my decoys.

He was at 17 yards and wanting some loving. I actually
used the hole in the screen Selina made when she drilled a
tom during the Youth Turkey Hunt. I aimed just below
where the head meets the neck and let my arrow fly.
Holy moly, I whacked him.
He laid on his back, then ran, then flew away. Then he
crash landed in the woods.
The jakes punished him for all the times he kicked their
butts. Dont worry old buddy, I will punish the jakes some
day.
I knew he had to be history and quickly made my way to
him before the jakes removed his feathers. My tom had a
10-inch beard, spurs that could kill a mountain lion and was
real heavy.
This hunt was so cool that Selina and I bought tags for
the fifth season, and bows and arrows will be in the blind.
Take a kid hunting or fishing.

Motion by roll call. MC.
The re-zoning of the
property at 531 N. Main
Street was up for discussion. The property owner

would like to change from
R-1 residential to B-1
Commercial. Rykal stated
that he has some comments. He stated it is a difficult decision because
some people will be upset
and some will be happy
with any decision the
board makes. He stated
that he has driven in the
alley in question and there
are three autos in the alley
now. There are also
garages that are not too
far off of the alley all along
there. He believes that
some of these things are
worse than the plans that
have been submitted for
this business. He sees
problems there already so
he doesnt think itll make
any more difference.
Gene Dressler asked why
it wouldnt make a difference and Rykal stated
that he believes Mrs.
Murkley will build an attractive looking building.
Chapek stated that he
knows the neighbors dont
want it but then we lose a
business. Kuehni also
said he hates to see a
business turned away.
Rykal stated it will not hurt
the looks of the neighborhood. Bremness stated
the traffic could be bad
because if the apartments
have kids, there would be

more cars. President Albarado stated that we
werent going to re-hash
all of this again. We already had a public hearing on it. Gene Dressler
asked if he could make
one comment. He stated
that all the neighbors disapprove of this. He said
he doesnt understand
this way of thinking. Rykal
stated that the residents
dont take care of the alley
now. He pointed out to
Nawrocki that he has all
sort of equipment sitting
right off of the alleyway.
He also stated that Vizers
have vehicles and boats
blocking the alleyway.
Rykal said he doesnt
think we should push
away a business. A motion was made by Sedivy
and seconded by Rykal to
approve the re-zoning
with the condition that the
state approved plans
have to be similar to what
has already been presented and also if they
dont proceed with the
building that the land
stays residential and does
not get changed. Engineer Jeff Nussbaum
asked if he could speak.
He thought it would be a
good idea to run those
conditions past the village
attorney. That will be in-
cluded in the motion presented. Motion roll call.

Cadott Library Board
Danielson elected board president for second year

By Heather Dekan
Deb Danielson was once again elected for Cadott Library
Board president at the regular board meeting Monday, May
11.
I nominate Deb Danielson for president, said Dorothy
Kaiser, library board secretary.
I second that nomination, said Nick Kotek, library board
member. Youre a good president.
Les Liptak was elected vice-president, and Kaiser was
elected secretary.
I would like to nominate Dorothy to continue being our
great secretary, said Danielson.

On the directors report, Paula Stanton said they are almost
ready to start their summer reading program.
We did receive two passes for one day at either Rock Fest
or Country Fest, said Stanton. So these will be used as an
incentive to encourage people to sign up for the summer
reading program.
For every adult and teen who signs up for the program by
June 8, they will be entered into a drawing to win the tickets.
They will also get all the program materials, dates and reading log to take home for the summer reading program.
Cornell City Council
Council and police not on same page about policy

By Ginna Young
It seemed like a routine matter to update the citys fulltime employee handbook, but at the regular meeting May
7, the council and police department were at very different
levels of agreement.
The city had previously been informed the Wisconsin
Professional Police Association would no longer represent
the citys police officers, and particular benefits that were
spelled out in that contract needed to be enrolled in the employee handbook. Per those specifications, and following
the councils wishes, city administrator Dave DeJongh made
the modifications to the handbook, and said he kept everything the same, as well as making Cornell Police Chief
Brian Hurt aware of the changes.
I just got this information today, I wasnt even aware
you were making any changes until I had a copy of the
agenda this morning, said Hurt. The changes that are
being made basically only affect the police department. Ive
got some very big concerns on how thats going to affect us
as full-time employees.
Hurt said he didnt see anything coming from the old
union contract, and that it sounded more like the handbook
was taking part of the Fair Labor Standards Act, which allows law enforcement officials to accrue 480 hours of comp
time, yet the city restricts them to 40.
Its called comp time in the books, but its actually flex
time, said Hurt. Youre working three hours over here,
you gotta take off three hours someplace else.
DeJongh said he had gone over the matter with Hurt at
least twice in the last month.
What were doing is and I ran this by the council and
Finance Committee put in place what is currently out
there and what we should be doing, said DeJongh. Taking
whats in the police contract and putting that in our handbook.
Hurt said its hard to schedule work shifts when officers
are supposed to follow federal mandates and city limitations
at the same time.
What Im saying is pick one system and go with it, said
Hurt.
Council member Floyd Hickethier suggested they hold a
meeting to discuss the matter and come up with a solution.
Have all the paper work and have all the ducks in a row,
said Hickethier.
Im just trying to be fair, said Hurt. Not only to the
city, but to myself and my employees.
The council voted to table acting on the new employee
handbook, and will contact the city attorney before scheduling a Finance Committee meeting.
Prior to the regular meeting, the Utility Committee discussed the purchase of a new bucket truck. The shops current truck is 23 years old and city workers say it needs to
be replaced.
The new model city employees say they prefer would cost
around $190,000 and fits in the shop garage, which has
lower overhead doors. Cornell lineman Ben Modl says they
looked at used trucks, but decided the newer model was the
best fit.
We just thought, if youre keeping a truck for 20 years,
why go with a used one? said Modl at the Utility Committee meeting. I mean, youre getting into a truck that youre
putting somebody up inyoure talking 10 or 15 years,
theres a lot of use in that.
Representing Cadott FBLA at the state leadership

conference in La Crosse, left to right, are freshmen
Emily Kuipers and Kylee Poehls, senior Marisa
Sperber, and freshman Makayla Proulx. At the conference, students competed in events, voted for
delegates and attended sessions.

While Cornell resident Mark Larson (left) listens,

Cornell Chief of Police Brian Hurt (center) explains
to the city council how he and full-time officer, Luke
Abbate (right) would like to be paid overtime for the
hours they work.
John Westaby, utility/public works supervisor for the city,
will gather more information and pricing before a decision
is made to purchase a new vehicle.
The city is also looking into the purchase of a new dump
truck. Council member Mark Nodolf says the City Works
and Utility Departments share use of the truck, and will split
the cost of a new or used truck when they find the right purchase.
On other agenda, on recommendation of the Utility Committee, the council voted to enroll Derek Braun into an electric apprenticeship program. The program is the same
course the city sent Modl to for training, and can be completed at his own pace.
During the regular meeting, members also discussed
adding additional ATV routes to city streets after a request
came to open another street.
If the city changes the ordinance to accommodate more
routes, they are required to post multiple signs directing the
vehicles to the specified roads.
One thing I foundtheres no longer a 10 mph speed
limit while riding on an ATV road route within 150 feet of
a dwelling, said mayor Judy Talbot.
Talbot said the speed limit on city streets is currently set
at 25 mph, and unless they raise the limit to 25, the city is
responsible for posting 10 mph signs on the proposed
routes.
It sounds like this is
going to need to go to the
Public Safety and Health
(Committee) and be ironed
out, said Talbot. I think
we probably need to ask for
public inputso they have
a chance to say something.
The council agreed to turn
the matter over to the Public
Safety and Health Committee, and post the hearing
date for public input.
Talbot also said Roger
Miller has applied for a
Class B Beer License for
501 Bridge Street, formerly
Jon Henrys. Miller plans to
open a brew pub, tentatively
set for July 1.

FBLA reporter
Cadott FBLA members traveled to La Crosse April 7, qualifying for the State Leadership Conference competition.
Of the four competing, Makayla Proulx, freshman, placed
eighth in Introduction to Business, while Marisa Sperber, senior, competed in Computer Applications and took sixth.
Freshmen Emily Kuipers competed in the Introduction to
Information Technology event, and Kylee Poehls took part
in Project Lead at state.
I learned many new skills about being a leader, and got
to meet a lot of other FBLA members, said Poehls.
Sperber and Kuipers served as voting delegates, electing
next years FBLA officer team. After attending the opening
and closing session, members competed in their own events,
and watched the final rounds of competition in performance
events.
Students could also participate in a career fair, where more
than 20 post-secondary institutions offered information about
their campuses.
Our members were able to network with over 2,500 students from schools across the state, said Shari Gunderson,
adviser. I was especially proud of the Cadott chapter, who
brought a check for more than $350 to donate to the March
of Dimes (FBLAs charitable organization).
Theres so much information and learning that goes into
making a business work, and I would recommend many other
FBLA members to join in for next year, said Proulx.
(On the left) Katie Ruhde was recognized as the

only Lake Holcombe Band senior, and received the
John Philip Sousa Award. (On the right) Three seniors (left to right, Kelley Andres, Amanda Ewer and
Preston Strzok) were honored for their participation
in choir. Andres has been in choir for two years, Strzok has been in choir for two and a half years, and
Ewer has been in choir for four years.
