Public discussion plans future of Cobban Bridge


The WisDOT and Chippewa County
will conduct two public involvement
meetings to discuss a location study of
the Cobban Bridge on State Highway
178, south of Cornell.
Both meetings, one in Cornell, one in
Chippewa Falls, will be held to consider detailed study alternatives and
their impacts, and the selection of a pre-

ferred alternative for the bridge.


Cornells meeting will be held in the
Cornell High School Commons Tuesday, Jan. 5, from 5-6:30 p.m. The second meeting will be held the following
night, Jan. 6, from 5-6:30 p.m. at the
Chippewa County Highway Department Building Commons in Chippewa
Falls.

A brief presentation is scheduled to


begin at 5:15 p.m. at both locations, followed by an open-house format the remainder of the time, where anyone
interested can share comments, ask
questions and give or get more information.
Exhibits and maps will also be available for review.

Lake Holcombe School Board

Transportation waiver saves district money


By Monique Westaby
In an effort to eliminate extra costs and inconvenience to
students and parents, the Lake Holcombe School Board approved a student transportation waiver (pending discussion
with the district attorney), at the Dec. 21 regular meeting.
Jeff Mastin, superintendent, said athletic directors from
Cornell and Lake Holcombe compared waiver policies, and
brought a recommendation to adminstration.
What were looking at there is having that in place because we have a couple of our students who are able to transport themselves, said Mastin. If we can have them do that,
if they want to do that, instead of providing transportation for
them that they dont necessarily use, we would be saving the
district.
Mastin says it comes to $36 per day, or $180 each week
that could be saved by not providing unneeded transportation.
He says its mostly focused on the co-oped wrestling team,
but is planned to expand to co-oped football as well.
We just wanted to have the flexibility of offering that,

The Cornell skating rink will open by noon, Thursday, Dec. 31, with a change of address. No need to
call for a U-Haul, the rink has only moved a few feet
away to the inside of the Mill Yard Park pavilion. John
Westaby, Cornell utility/public works supervisor,
says the indoor rink has been an idea for awhile and
will save city employees a lot of time when it snows.
The rink will be open 7 a.m.-10 p.m., with a warming
shack near the pavilion.

said Mastin. Right now were not allowing kids that do not
have their license to do it. Whereas, if you have a brother that
drives, and you dont drive, were asking them to ride the
bus, it costs the district money instead of just saving the time,
effort and energy of going with their brother or older sibling.
Corey Grape, board president, asked if the waiver would
change requirements for students with a co-oped football
game in Cornell having to ride the bus. Grape said concern
arose when students drove to Lake Holcombe to ride the bus
back to Cornell, then needed a ride back to Lake Holcombe
to get their vehicle following the game.
Thats part of it as well, said Mastin. I think we are focusing on wrestling right now, but from what Cindy (Miller)
said, our athletic director, she talked about saving that merrygo-round too.

Cadott Village Board

Energy prices set for next nine years


By Kayla Peche
Cadott village residents dont have to look into a crystal
ball to see what electricity costs will be for 2024, because the
Cadott Village Board approved those prices at the Dec. 21
regular meeting.
Iwas real hesitant to go out that far at first, said Neil
Aubart, village electric journeyman lineman. How do you
foresee the future and what prices are going to be? Well, if
you can get it for cheaper than what we are paying for it right
now doesnt that make sense to go forward with it for three
years?
In a previous contract, the board approved to extend their
electricity costs until 2021, with this, Aubart suggested to go
even further and guarantee their pricing for another three
years. The 2021 prices are set for $48.75, and now the village
approved the contract for $48 all the way to 2024.
You know that the prices are slightly lower than what
weve been paying or what we will be paying, said Anson
Albarado, village president.
Aubart says the only downfall for the village is that capacity prices arent set in stone.
We wont know until later because the way capacity
prices are now, theyre high, he said. Its so far out for them
to judge at, so they put a big projected numberI wish those
costs (energy and capacity) went hand-in-hand, but they

dont.
Capacity is the physical amount of generation (power
plant)the company has available to serve in megawatts. It
represents power plants potential to generate electricity, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Aubart said thats why the village is doing a generation
study to see if they can put a power plant in or possibly buy
into a power plant in the area.
Thats what the study will tell us, he said. So then we
will know the capacity prices.
Aubart will return to discuss the results of the study when
information is available.
During correspondence, Sandy Buetow, village clerk, discussed the Cadott Lions Club offering to help with costs of
replacing Ricks Halfway Hall and Sports Bar signs.
In early December, vandals wrote on signs, buses and
buildings with magic marker around the village, and were
apprehended by Cadott police. The restitution has not yet
been settled, but the village offered to re-do both Halfway
signs, even though only one was vandalized.
If theres any restitution from the vandalism, it would
only be for the one sign, said Buetow. So the Lions, I think,
said they would help the village support that cause.
Buetow said each of the Halfway signs (front and back)
will be replaced to match each other.

Dont be stupid; use your brain


By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
Theyre already out at
the park.
I bet theyre fishing
Marshmiller.
Every year I hear these
phrases earlier and earlier. It seems even before the weather hits
freezing, someone mentions seeing an icefisher on some body of water. At first, I
chuckle at the stupidity of some people, but
then I wonder, is catching a crappie really
worth the risk to my loved ones?
This past weekend, as I rolled through
my news feed on social media, several of
my friends had shared a news story happening in Chippewa.
Two men had been pulled from the Glen
Loch waters after someone heard cries for
help on the ice. Several emergency response teams were called, including the
Chippewa Fire District Dive Team.
According to the release from the sheriffs department, both men were fishing
separately when the first fell through the
ice. He screamed, and the second man came
to help, also falling in the water. Both died.
Both died.
Over fish.
Was it really worth it?
Not only did both parties risk their lives,
but they also risked the lives of all emergency personnel who came to their rescue.
While the dive team may be trained on how
to handle these situations, it is not a guarantee that something wont go wrong.
The sickening feeling of knowing your
family member has to be on fragile, thin ice
to help someone who chose to go on something so unpredictable is unbearable. Every
second you wonder if they will return.

With a husband on the fire department,


and always willing to be the first to help, I
know the feeling all too well.
Several years ago, as a newlywed, my
husband was called to assist someone who
was on the ice, on the river. The details
were vague and as I thought about my man
being on dangerously thin ice to save someone else, I prayed.
I clung to the radio, waiting for any indication that everyone was OK.
Then, like a ton of bricks, someone said
Cornell 40 had fallen through the ice and
needed help.
Cornell 40. That was him.
Unsure of what to do I prayed even
harder. I prayed for my husband.I prayed
for the rest of the rescue team. I prayed for
the person they were trying to rescue.

ones, risked their lives to look for someone


who chose to put themselves in a dangerous
situation; maybe the fire department should
have just stayed home that time.
When I read the Glen Loch news story
this weekend, all those emotions came
rushing back. It was like I was back in the
moment and I could feel my stomach
wrench.
Temperatures this year have been so out
of the ordinary, it would take a fool to put
themselves, and someone else, in unneeded
danger. It may be December, and they may
be out at the park, but not everywhere has
enough ice to support the weight of you and
your gear.
Until there is enough, think about yourself and others, and use your brain before
you do something stupid.

For me, this year has
been a long road, getting
from there to here. At the beginning of 2015,
I told myself this was the year my dreams
would come true. Little did I know, life had
other plans.
Every day has seemed to bring a new surprise, a new change or a new wrench in the
plans. It felt like there were a lot more downs
than ups, and I always seemed to end up
back at ground level.
For the first few months of the year, I felt
terribly worn out and had no energy. I

As it turned out, my husband, following


the mans footprints, was in a dive suit and
didnt actually fall through the ice, but
rather determined the jello-like movement
of the ice under him was unsafe.
Not wanting to break through and get
caught in a current, my husband remembered his training and laid down flat to distribute his weight, waiting for assistance.
And even then, the assistance, with a safety
sled, kept breaking through.
Medically, everything was OK. Mentally,
he was fine, but I was a wreck.
Later, I learned it was all for nothing. The
person they were rescuing was drunk,
crashed his vehicle, then walked across the
barely frozen river away from the scene;
making it across without an issue.

on the couch until bedtime. I actually


thought there was something really wrong
with me.
And then, in the early spring, I got into
some cleaning supplies that decided to declare war on my body. A few miserable days
and one doctors visit later, with antibiotics
in me, I started feeling a little better. Turns
out, I never really got over a sickness Id
come down with almost a year before.
As I progressed more each day, gaining
strength, I truly thought maybe the year
could be salvaged after all. Fast forward to
May 18 the day I spent in the hospital with
my sister/office manager after she suffered a
severe stroke in the wee hours.
Back to rock bottom I went.
Although she pulled through, and has since
made wonderful progress, at the time it was
extremely stressful with her in the hospital
at Eau Claire, and the rest of the family here,
trying to take care of two households. In addition, I had to pick up most of her workload,
some of which I didnt know how to do.
Eventually she came home just in time
for our editor to deliver an adorable, bouncing baby boy. (Love at first sight!) That
meant more of an increased workload for the
rest of us and a very hectic schedule.
In amongst all of this, the office went
through a switch up with the bookkeeping
system, something were still in the process
of working through and updating.
As we close out the year and I look back
on the last 12 months, even with all the bad
things that happened, it was still a great year.
Yep, you read that right.
Scattered between the bad moments were
times I dont ever want to forget. I had a lot
of dreams come true this year, and while
they may seem trivial or unimportant to
someone else, I wouldnt trade them for anything.
Like going to see my favorite band perform live for the first time, or seeing Keith
Urban with my sister. And finally, finally,
watching a Triple Crown horse race after
waiting my entire life, or seeing the Duke
Blue Devils win yet another national championship.
The geek side of me especially had a field
day this year, with Pi Day in March (3.14.15)
and making it to the future (Oct. 21, 2015,
mentioned in 1989s Back to the Future 2).
Throw a new Star Wars movie into the mix

and nerd me is on cloud nine.


I even broke down and bought my very
own, brand new camera; a dream Ive had
forever. It is, and probably will be, the best
purchase I ever made. Not only does it take
good photos, but its nice to always have a
camera at my fingertips.
But maybe more than all of that, its the
things Ive done and seen that cant be compared. Through the job I love, Ive met some
amazing people and seen some awesome
things.
Ive met someone who raises butterflies,
and someone who uses his hands instead of
his eyes to make beautiful creations. Ive
met people with unique abilities, talents and
collections. Ive met teenagers who write
published poetry, and earn national recognition in archery and mounted shooting.
Ive seen people some Ive known my
entire life retire from directing the community play, running a feed store and driving
school bus. Ive even seen an area church
and an area person turn 100 years old.
That doesnt even include the normal,
everyday happenings and triumphs, or the
things I dont personally cover/write about.
And I cant forget the words of encouragement and help through rough times, the
bonds of a tight-knit community and the support of co-workers.
Though they dont have to, these people
share their lives with me and leave a mark
on my heart that will never leave.
Through everything, Ive found a strength
I didnt know I had. A determination to
climb to the top, no matter how many times
I slip and fall. No matter what comes from
this time forward, I know I can face it and
become better than I was the day before.
While Im busier than I have ever been in
my life, I feel the best I ever have and am
filled with an energy that wont quit; an inner
fire that wont be squelched, no matter what
curves are thrown my way.
So, as the new year rolls in, I cant wait to
see what it will bring as I make my dreams
come true. Whether its a little hill or a big,
old mountain, I have my hiking boots
strapped on and look forward to the view
from the top in 2016.
And I will see my dreams come alive at
night, I will touch the sky. And theyre not
gonna hold me down no more, no theyre not
gonna change my mind.

Joe Stansbury, board member, asked if the waiver is approved, who would be liable if a student violated state implemented restrictions on their license, such as number of
passengers allowed.
I can see where you could be concerned, said Grape.
But if the transportation waiver is signed, its also signed by
the parents acknowledging, so that shouldI mean, thats
why we have them sign it.
Stansbury asked if the district attorney could look at it for
clarification. The board agreed, approving the transportation
waiver with the exception that it would come back to the
board if the attorney suggested additions or changes.
On other agenda, Mastin congratulated the Cornell-Lake
Holcombe cross country team for being awarded the Lakeland Conference Sportsmanship award for 2015, and recognized guidance counselor Barb Van Doorn for being

Barb has been moved on to the next round, said Mastin.
She was approved at the local level in CESA 10 and is now
at the state level.
If chosen, Van Doorn would receive $3,000 for herself, as
well as for the school.
In his superintendent report, Mastin thanked John Ewer for
again donating 2 tons of salt to the district, a $500 value, and
Monarch Paving Company for a $1,000 donation to purchase
items for families in need during the holiday season.
A lot of snow pants, boots, coats, hats, things like that
were purchased, said Mastin. That was something Barb
Van Doorn coordinated with some of our students; went
shopping for, wrapped it up and they were delivered.

Community drives looking to build up blood reserves


By Ginna Young
With the Christmas rush out of the way, store shelves may
look a little bare and theyre not the only things sitting
empty. Red Cross blood stocks are low and donating blood
isnt something people are thinking about, says Cornell Community Blood Drive organizer Sue Jensen.
Because of the Christmas and New Years holidays, blood
drives are down, said Jensen.
Residents can remedy that by visiting Our Saviors
Lutheran Church Monday, Jan. 4, from noon-6 p.m. A
drivers license or blood donor card are required, and 16year-olds are eligible to donate with a signed Red Cross
parental consent form.
Jensens goal is set at 29 pints, and says any blood types
are welcome.
We need all types currently, said Jensen.
To schedule an appointment call 715-239-6752.

If someone cant make it to Cornell, the Cadott Future


Business Leaders of America (FBLA) will hold their own
blood drive Wednesday, Jan. 7, from 7:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.,
at the Cadott High School small gym.
People will be helping save lives, said Austin Goettl,
Cadott senior and chair of the blood drive. We need blood.
FBLA members will be on hand to help Red Cross personnel unload equipment and record student donations.
Donors can register at the school office (715-289-3795),
but the students say walk-ins are welcome.
Itd be awesome if you can come in and give, said
Goettl.

Juggler makes his way


into Ladysmith School
Kristin and Erik Christianson

The Flambeau Valley Arts Association presents a performance by Mark Nizers 4D Theatre Friday, Jan. 8, at 7:30 p.m. at
the Ladysmith High School.
Nizer has juggled for 25 years after his mother signed him
up for juggling class. During the presentation, he will perform
comedy antics and juggling feats, which may include juggling
laser beams at 1,000 rpms, throwing five ping pong balls 20
feet in the air using only his mouth, and juggling a burning
propane tank, running electric carving knife and 16-pound
bowling ball.
Nizer has performed at the Lincoln Center for the Performing
Arts, on Arsenio Hall, Carolines Comedy Hour and at the Just
for Laughs Comedy Festival. He won first place in the international juggling championships and won comedian of the year
in the NACA and APCA college markets, and has performed
with George Burns, Bob Hope, Ray Charles and many others.
The event is sponsored, in part, by a grant from the Wisconsin
Arts Board with funds from the state of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Tickets are available at the door and student admission is free
with a paid adult.

While studying dance with Rosalie Jones, who taught at
Mount Senario, he was introduced to one of her mentors,
Lynn. Based on the performances Doran saw Lynns company do while they toured in Wisconsin, he says he decided
to join the troupe and move to Salt Lake City.
The following year, after Lynn retired from his work at the
University of Utah, the company considered relocating.
Doran suggested they re-base on the acreage he had left, saying he recognized the locale to be an unlikely place for transplanting a dance form that struggles even in the city to attract
audiences.
But Dorans personal connection to that land and Lynns
readiness to leave the trendiness brought them to pioneer
their art in the north woods.
The other company members opted out of the move, leaving Doran and Lynn to make the transition alone.
Once unpacked, they began searching for a studio space in
which to teach and perform. Doran recalled having taken
mime classes one summer which were housed in a former
schoolhouse in the Spring Green area and knew that a similar
structure was sitting abandoned a few miles down the road
from his property.
He and Lynn took a look at the old Willard Center School
and immediately envisioned it becoming their studio. Working through the town board they arranged a public bidding
on the building. Their bid was accepted and they hired a
mover to transport the old schoolhouse 3 miles up the road
to their land.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Doran will hold his milestone celebration/performance in
the schoolhouse he and Lynn christened ChaliceStream
Studio 36 years ago. The public is invited to the free performance and reception to follow.

Michael Doran, co-director of Lynn Dance Company at


ChaliceStream Studio, will celebrate his 70th birthday by performing a few of his best-loved solo pieces Sunday, Jan. 3,
beginning at 4 p.m. in ChaliceStream Studio.
In 1978 Doran, with Lynn Dance Company founder Barry
Lynn, established a base for their company on an 80-acre parcel south of Ladysmith, which Dorans family had purchased
in 1944 and where, as a youth vacationing from Chicago, he
had spent summers with his grandparents.
In 1971 Doran moved onto the property and taught English
in the Winter and Ladysmith School Districts. During this
time he was also active in local theater, appearing with the

The Hag (Gayla Harder) wonders why its always


about me, me, me during the holiday season. Madrigal performers entertained the audience with music
and frivolity throughout the night, but at the end of
the show, it was revealed to the royal court that
Jesus is the real star. People from many communities and many faiths join together to tell the true
meaning of Christmas, said director Joni Weinert.
It is all very rewarding as we see the impact it
makes on those who attend.

Holcombe Happenings
By Janice Craig 715-595-4380
The weathermen predicted a brown Christmas, but we had
a white one after all. This made for slippery roads, but driving
slow you could get there safely.
Bob and Barb Lompa spent Christmas with Bob Lompa Jr.
in West Bend. Kristen Kashboski, Josh and Kala joined them.
Anita Pernsteiner and daughter drove to Rochester, Minn.,
to the Mayo clinic to meet with Anitas other daughter who
was having tests.
Anita and her husband, Bernie, drove to Medford on
Christmas and spent the day with their children. All eight
families gathered with them.
Oakley and Janice Craig drove to Hudson Thursday to
spend the day and night with their son, Okello. He cooked
them a supper and breakfast.
They drove to Winona, Minn., Friday, to spend the day
with their daughter, Katrina, her husband, Jim Young, and
family. Their granddaughter, Jessica, was home from Ames,
Iowa. Their grandson, Danny, had just taken a cruise to the
Bahamas with two friends, so they got to see the pictures he
had taken.
I pray the New Year will be a very productive year and you
can say it was a blessed year.

1950s era comes back in style with service station


By Ginna Young
In a world filled with automated swipe-and-go gas stations,
you probably dont expect to find a 1950s style service station
in rural Holcombe, but its there if you know where to look.
The hobby garage belongs to Dave Conrad, who spent 40
years in the Army Reserve before retiring as a chief warrant
officer this past fall. During his service, he was stationed in
Orlando, Fla., and while there found a piece of a time gone
by.
On his daily drive to work, Conrad discovered Kissimee
boasted an old gas station turned visitor center on the main
drag. He stopped to take pictures and look at the information
on old service stations, and the rest, as they say, is history.
I was thinking to myself, thats pretty coolI really like
this building, said Conrad. You know, Im just going to
build this gas station up at my place.
Conrad measured the building and sent plans back home,

enlisting Gary Loring to build his dream garage. Over a three


year period, the duo constructed the 1950s style service station with the help of other area contractors.
Gary loved it, said Conrad. Id give him an idea and he
just rolled with it.
Although not a complete twin of the one in Kissimee, Conrads building comes close and brought part of the mother
station with it to Wisconsin.
When they found out I was going to build one, they gave
me some pictures, said Conrad. The lady at the visitors center is actually from Minnesota.
Stepping into the fill-in station might take some back in
time, right down to the ding-ding as you drive in and the
oldies music playing on the jukebox. Adding to the ambiance is the small soda shop area near the counter, as well
as the antiques/collectibles lining the walls.
With black and white checkerboard floors, vintage cash
register and candy jars, the clock seems to turn back a few
decades to a simpler time.
That was my goal, to go around the 50-60s era, said
Conrad. Its amazing what you can find.

Dave Conrad turns back


time with his 1950s era
gas station, patterned
after one he saw in
Florida while in the Army
Reserve. With its stucco
finish, twin gas pumps
and oil cabinet outside,
its not hard to believe
youre back in a time
gone by. (Inset) As a
lover/collector of Texaco
items, Conrad displays
his antique items in and
out of his custom built
gas station.

52-157167

Pieces of the collection have come from across the country,


with many found in Florida and North Carolina. A few pieces,
like one of the twin pumps out front, came from the old Holcombe Marina.
Although he hadnt planned on giving official tours, at
Conrads retirement party a few months ago, he says the little
shop saw a steady stream of visitors.
Everybody had to come through here and see this, said
Conrad with a laugh.
While hes not ruling out more tours in the future, for the
time being, Conrad plans to work on his motorcycles and find
old cars/trucks to restore.
Its been fun, says Conrad. Thats always been my plan,
to retire and come back home, and then putz around with my
old trucks. Its been a blast doing it.

Retired Army Reserve Chief Warrant Officer Dave Conrad leans on the counter
of his 1950s style service station at his home in Holcombe. The building, based
on an old gas station in Kissimee, Fla., features 12-foot ceilings and antique
decor, including the only operating stoplight in Holcombe. (Inset) The working part of the new (old) service station boasts a custom sign in traditional
Texaco colors of red and green.

Knights awarded for good sportsmanship


By Kayla Peche
Out of 12 schools in the East Lakeland Conference, the
Cornell-Lake Holcombe Knights Cross Country team has
been given the 2015 Sportsmanship Award.
This award shows that athletes and coaches in other cross
country programs think highly of the way that our program
operates, said head coach Jake Ebner. Receiving this award
is a compliment to our athletes, coaches and fans.
According to the WIAA, sportsmanship means playing by
the established rules, competing with the best efforts, losing
without excuse or complaint, cheering in a positive manner
and respecting the event. All teams and their coaches in the
conference voted on one school to be selected for this award.
This is the first time the Knights cross country team has
received this award. (Track and field was honored with it in

2012.) Ebner says he thinks this years team earned it after


the athletes worked hard, supported each other and conducted
themselves in a professional manner at meets.
I was super proud of the team when I heard, said senior
Sam Peterson. Ive always thought its important that we
not only compete well, but carry ourselves well, and Im glad
that the other teams took note of it.
Senior Kayla Vavra also says she is proud of her team for
earning the award.
I feel like it is a great accomplishment, she said.
Lake Holcombe superintendent Jeff Mastin said this award
is a great addition to the Coach of the Year award Ebner received for track.
I would like to congratulate the Cornell-Lake Holcombe
cross country team and coaches, said Mastin.

Too far to come back for Cornell

By Kayla Peche
The Cornell Chiefs Boys Basketball team traveled to
Gilmanton Dec. 22 for a non-conference match-up. Head
coach Shawn Schoelzel says the Chiefs started out slow with
their shots flat, falling to the Panthers quickly by 20 points.
The gap was cut down to 10 points, with big performances
by Cornell sophomore Noah Nohr, and juniors Colton Hetke
and Mitch Swanson. But Gilmanton responded with two
three-point shots before the buzzer rang to lead by 16.
Schoelzel says after such a fall, Cornell just couldnt catch
up to the Panthers, who dominated the boards.
Gilmanton is a team that you just dont want to try and
come back against, he said. They are too good.
Despite Cornell having three players in double digits, including Nohr with 18, Hetke with 17 and Swanson with 11,
the Chiefs lost to Gilmanton, 82-61.
Schoelzel says sophomore Dakota Popp wasnt a top
scorer, but he was an asset to the team this game.
I was very pleased with the way Dakota Popp played last
night, Schoelzel said. The things he does dont show up on
the stat line, but he does the little things like diving on the
floor, helping defense. And even though hes the smallest guy
on the court, he seems to be around every rebound.
Rebounds was what Schoelzel said the team struggled
with, giving up more than 20 offensively. All those secondchance points for them just makes it too hard to come back
from.
Cornell will be back on the court Jan. 7 against Bruce.

Legislation changes trail pass laws


The WisDNR reminds all snowmobilers of law changes regarding trail passes this year including one which requires
snowmobilers with valid Wisconsin public use registration to
buy an annual Wisconsin snowmobile trail pass.
Trail passes are $30 for the annual pass, or $10 if you are a
member of a snowmobile club affiliated with the Association
of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs.
DNR conservation warden Gary Eddy said dollars generated from the snowmobile trail passes will be placed in a segregated fund to pay for the development and maintenance of
snowmobile trails.
This is a direct benefit to Wisconsin snowmobiling, he
said.
In other law changes, Eddy says a bill signed by the governor makes slight adjustments to Wisconsin trail pass requirements and commercial snowmobile registrations.
Changes went into effect in November and include:
Customers ordering ATV, UTV or snowmobile trail passes
online will be issued a temporary trail pass receipt which will
allow them to operate on public trails until their pass is mailed
to them. Customers ordering the Wisconsin snowmobile trail
pass at select license agents will receive a temporary operating
receipt. The receipt must be displayed to law enforcement
upon request. The temporary trail pass receipt is good for 10
days.
Temporary trail pass receipts will not be issued for dis-

Non-conference battle
down to the buzzer
By Kayla Peche
With seven minutes left in the first half, the score was tied
20-20. But the Cadott boys pulled away to lead 46-32 at the
half against the Augusta Beavers basketball team Dec. 22.
The Hornets took over Augusta with the lead when sophomore Matt Drilling subbed in and knocked a few points
from the inside. His classmate, Nicky Nesvacil, came in and
hit two threes to jump Cadott ahead by 10.
At the start of the second half, they (Augusta) changed
their game plan to stop us, said junior Bryce Boyea.
Just as the first half went, the Beavers kept the game close,
going back and forth in the second half until Augusta took
the lead and won by four points, 63-59.
They took us out of our game, said Boyea. And they
gained the momentum. We thought that we had already won.
Cadott will return to play Jan. 5, with a Cloverbelt Conference contest against McDonell Central.

counted snowmobile club member trail passes or non-resident


annual trail passes. Non-resident snowmobile trail passes are
available at select license agents.
Antique snowmobiles displaying valid Wisconsin antique
registration decals are exempt from the trail pass requirement.
To be registered as an antique the snowmobile must be 35
years or older.
Non-resident snowmobile owners may now register their
snowmobile as an antique in Wisconsin.
Commercial snowmobile certificate holders, typically
dealers and rentals, may mount their trail pass and their metal
plate to a removable plate. The plate can be temporarily but
firmly mounted. There are no size restrictions and the plate
can be homemade.

Stepping up for a victory

Hornets look for wins

By Kayla Peche
Elizabeth Sproul, Cornell senior who is out for an injury,
sat on the sidelines during a Dec. 22 game vs. Gilmanton,
where she said the Chiefs girls basketball team played a great
game.
Gilmanton played with us the whole time and made us
work for the win, said Sproul. It was a great victory and
also a very entertaining game to watch. I am so proud of my
team.
During the non-conference game, the score went back and
forth before Cornell took the lead in the second half, winning
by 11 points.
Senior Lexi Moussette led the Chiefs with 16 points, followed by sophomores Danielle Fasbender with 14 and
Cheyan Shackleton with eight.
Sproul says she saw Shackleton really step it up during the
intense contest.
Cheyan Shackleton had an amazing game, Sproul said.
She had a goal of scoring six points and ended up scoring
eight. It was very fun to watch her excitement.
Following the holiday break, Cornell will return Jan. 7 to
host Bruce for an East Lakeland Conference battle.

By Kayla Peche
The Cadott girls basketball team traveled to Thorp, a Western
Cloverbelt Conference rival, Dec. 22, but were defeated by their own
mistakes, said Cadott senior Charlene Holte.
We have a lot of talents this year and our speed definitely helps,
said Holte. But our lack of communication and rebounding is our
struggle right now.
At halftime, the Hornets were down by 10 points, but managed to
cut the lead by seven with baskets from senior Elizabeth Kyes, who
had 16 points, and Holte, who had nine.
Thorp advanced their lead in the second half, winning 55-31.
Cadott has yet to win a conference game, but Holte says if they
can work on those errors, she is hoping for some wins.
The Hornets will be put to the challenge at home Jan. 7, against
conference rival Stanley-Boyd.

Its a Girls Hunting Life


By: Monique Westaby

A Snapshow Day 2
Turns out the snap,
crackle, pop was merely another small buck. Small being an understatement.
Something caught my attention out of the corner of my
eye and I whipped my head around.
Sure enough, it was the little piece of carpet on the edge
of my stand catching the windagain. Ten minutes later,
it was still the carpet and not a deer that grasped my attention.
I sat with my nose in my neck warmer, the candy wrappers breaking the peaceful silence every few minutes. A
bluejay here, a red squirrel there, a deer nowhere.
The weather wasnt getting warmer, my water was
freezing inside the bottle, and 10 a.m. was nearing like a
slug on a piece of duct tape.
Since it was well after daylight when I arrived, I decided driving my car across the field was a better idea
than walking; especially since I brought my remote start
with me.
A brown flicker caught my eye and I turned just in time
to see a leaf nestle back against the branch it was connected to.
I pulled out my remote start and clicked the button.
Nothing. I clicked it again. Still nothing. Ah man, its too
far away.
At 10 a.m. I determined I had sat long enough. I wanted
to see my husbands monster buck and my nose was cold.
Mr. Big Buck from the day before must have grown
wiser, or already been in someone elses freezer, because
I didnt see him the rest of the season.
That night, I decided sitting in a completely different
location was wise. I would try my luck with the stand
where I had shot my first deer a doe several years
prior. The stand where I had shot an eight-point buck a
few years ago. The stand where my husband shot one of
his bucks.
Yes, this stand would be the stand of all stands. And I
would be there that night.

An Outdoorsmans Journal By Mark Walters

The Joe 2015


Hello friends,
This is going to be one of those stories that has way more to
tell than I have space for. The Joe is a deer hunt and camp run
by Kids And Mentors Outdoors (KAMO) each year. It is held
at the Mackenzie Environmental Education Center near
Poynette.
I am the president of KAMO, but of the many dozens of volunteers on this project, I am but a grain of sand on a beach.
Friday, Dec. 11 High 46, Low 33
Here is how this project works.
Five of KAMOs chapters are sending mentors, kids and volunteers for other work. There are 22 pairs of kids and mentors,
of which 19 are on Learn to Hunts. Three have purchased tags
in past years so therefore can only shoot a doe.
We hunt the state game/pheasant farm at Poynette and several private properties. (Thank you once again to all private
property owners/donors.)
At first, the kids who come from all over Wisconsin do not
know each other. By noon of day two, they are a pack. When
they are not hunting, they are playing outside or eating the incredible food cooked and served by Jeff and Patti Rouse, and
Marlene Shaw.
Marlene is Pattis mom. I have known Marlene most of my
life. This fall, Marlene made a stocking hat for each kid in the
hunt. This experience is all about giving of ones time and
knowledge, and as everyone is well aware who takes part in
The Joe we are very good at it.
I am hunting with 15-year-old Duncan Day, New Lisbon,
who has hunted deer other years but has never harvested a deer.
In other words, Duncan cannot shoot a buck.
We are hunting on a beautiful piece of property owned by
Eugene Vangen, located in Columbia County near Otsego. Eugene raises beef and has known many of my family members
over the years, so we have a lot to talk about.
This afternoon, Duncan and I did not see a deer but had high
hopes for the morning hunt.
Jerry Absher, of the Lake Wisconsin Chapter of KAMO
(Poynette area), was mentoring James Amacher. James made
a clean shot on a young doe and thus, we had our first deer on
the pole.
Tonight, the kids went through a couple classes on safety
and biology that were given by Columbia County conservation

warden Ryan Volenberg, and Columbia County wildlife biologist Sarah Kehrli.
Saturday, Dec. 12 High 44, Low 35
Usually the kids have snowball fights at camp. This year,
there are periods of rain, it is just cool enough for a deer to be
hanging, and very few hunters are getting cold on the hunt.
Today, Tom St. Claire mentored Connor Larson, a buddy of
Duncans, and all three are from the Meadow Valley Chapter
of KAMO (New Lisbon/Necedah). Like James, Connor made
an excellent shot and we had our second deer, another doe.
Duncan and I relocated on the Vangen farm to a large winter
wheat field. We had two does come out of the woods no more
than 8 yards from our blind on the last minute of legal hunting.
A tree in the way saved one of their lives.
Tonight was a really cool night in camp.
Every year on Saturday it seems like the kids have too much
free time. Greg Wagner, of the Baraboo River Chapter, hosted
an evening of BINGO just for the kids, with the winners of
each game getting an excellent prize, such as a fishing rod and
a knife set. In the final game of the night, Haaken Rosholt, Wisconsin Dells, won a .243 donated by very generous people
from the Poynette area.
The following morning, Duncan and I were in our blind and
two does came out. Duncan made an excellent shot at 104
yards.
Duncan learned how to do the new online registration as
well as dress his first deer. And that, my friends, is why we
started KAMO.
I challenge anyone reading this to help start a new chapter,
join an existing chapter, or get a kid you know into KAMO.
Check us out at www.kamokids.org.
KAMO is way more than hunting and fishing.

songs Dec. 21 at their winter concert, including

Deck the Halls, Silent Night and We Wish You A
Merry Christmas.

giggled and waved to parents and siblings as
they sang holiday songs like Reindeer Pokey
and Peppermint Stick. (Right) Showing their
Santa bellies, Cadott 4K students sang S-A-N-TA at their Christmas program. Parents and relatives were invited to sing along with the
students to the last two songs of the program,

Cornell Elementary Christmas Program


Photos by Monique Westaby

During the first-grade


class song Jingle Bells,
Anelise Larson, laughs
all the way oer the
fields they go. The
group finished their set
with Hello Reindeer for
Cornells
Elementary
Christmas Program.

Five select kindergarten students from Cornell got to hold a letter for their
song S-A-N-T-A, sung to the tune of B-I-N-G-O. As each verse continued, one
letter was replaced with a shh. The class also sang Santas Helpers for
friends and family at the Cornell Elementary Christmas Program Dec. 18. The
night ended with an all-class reprise of Christmas Makes Me Sing.

Santa, also known as Cornell fourth grader Carter


Harycki, looked over letters written to him during
his class rendition of When Santa Claus Gets Your
Letter. The class then led the crowd in laughter as
they held up cartoonish-sized smiling lips and teeth
for Christmas Makes Me Sing.

Its not a bar. Its not a restaurant.Its a brew pub


By Kayla Peche
For about eight years, Jon Henrys was a closed-down
building on Bridge Street in Cornell, that is until Roger and
Cindy Miller decided to start a brewery.
The building just came up and it was just meant to be,
said Cindy. It just happened at the right time.
Roger says their family had to put a lot of tender love and
care into the building, but it wasnt as bad as people
thought. The Millers re-wired the 30-year-old place and
added a new furnace, took part of the kitchen out to add a
bar, re-did the bathrooms and walls, and added their own
character with decorations, naming it MoonRidge Brew Pub.
We figured since we had time this summer wed put our
touch on it, said Cindy, adding that Roger built the bar himself and their daughter painted the logo on the wall.
Honestly, we never thought it was going to be like it is,
Roger said. We thought, sell a little beer and a few pizzas.
The couple had a soft opening Nov. 19, after Cindy said
they waited for months to open the doors. On that day, they
sold 37 pizzas and plenty of beer. They said it was way
busier than they expected, especially with no advertising.
Its a good thing I have a big family, said Cindy. Because Ihave a lot of family here helping until I can figure out
what is going to be a normal shift.
For the winter season, the brew pub is open Thursday-Friday from 4:30-10 p.m., and Saturdays 11 a.m.-10 p.m. In the
summer, hours will be extended to Sunday-Saturday from
11 a.m.-10 p.m.
Cindy says they also plan to have seasonal beer on tap
every three months or so, and specialty monthly pizzas. Next
summer, she said they also might do a pizza recipe contest
for guests to submit their recipes, with the customers favorite
winning a prize.
Because of early closing hours, limited kitchen space and
staff numbers, the Millers thank customers for their patience
so far, and remind them that it isnt a bar and its not a restaurant its a brew pub.

Looking for options and great rates?

Call us today and let us


show you the complete
and affordable
coverage we can offer you.

We wanted something for our age to go to, said Cindy.


We just want a place to come and sit a socializing place.
But yet, we want it to be open to families with kids too.
Roger began brewing from beer kits, advancing to a kettle
on his stove, but a vacation to Maui helped him realize he
could start selling his own on a bigger scale. He said he brews
two-three times a week at the pub, and guarantees customers
will get a fresh beer every time.
I figured I should be able to keep 1,400 people happy in
Cornell, Roger said.
Brewing beer that he would drink, Roger developed seven
brews including Haymeadow, Fisher, Stacker, Wayside,
Shaws Road, Below the Dam and MoonRidge.
The names are local spots, said Roger. I grew up here
my whole life and Im not going to lie, its spots where when
I was a kid thats where we drank. If youre from the local
Cornell-Holcombe area, you know exactly what Im talking
about.
One of the only exceptions to the party location beers is
the Stacker, which is second in line to the local favorite,
MoonRidge.
We wanted to have something called the Stacker to honor
Cornell, said Cindy.
Along with the brews, the pub also offers pizza, including
unique flavors for those who want to be a bit more adventurous.
The homemade pie can be made with regular or spent grain
crust, which Cindy says will taste different every time depending on what Roger brews. They also have a beer marinara sauce for something fun.
The six pizzas include a Brew House Specialty pizza,
which is regular meat and supreme. Cindy says other delicious recipes are the Reuben, Hot Chicken Alfredo and
Cheeseburger pizza.

Roger and Cindy Miller purchased the former Jon


Henrys building at 501 Bridge Street in Cornell, and
opened MoonRidge Brew Pub. The couple has
seven craft brews on site, along with six homemade
specialty pizzas available. The Millers say the community has been just great since opening. I have
heard a lot of positives, said Roger.

Roger and Cindy say when you walk in the door, someone
should greet you, then you can go to the pizza ordering station or bar for what you need. Once there is a regular staff,
they will have waiters/waitresses to help customers. Cindy
said the community has been great so far and shes happy to
be in a place like Cornell.
Customers should feel welcome, feel almost at home,
said Roger. People can expect a good beer at a good price,
and expect very good pizza at a good price. Overall, you just
feel good about coming.
We want you to feel like you want to come back.
