Cornell residents may need


to address plumbing issues
By Ginna Young
Cornell residents may recently have received an informational brochure in the mail
on cross connection hazards and guidelines.
The DNR requires every building in Cornell
to be inspected to ensure theres no contamination of public water through siphoning or
backflow.
So if you had a hose connected to your
outside faucet and it was in a pool, and you
shut your water off, said Dave DeJongh,
city administrator, if the system lost pressure, you could actually siphon water back
through the hose.
To ensure there is no contamination of
public water, the city will inspect residential

and commercial properties in compliance


with DNR regulations.
The city is required to document 20 percent, or roughly 114 residential properties,
by March 30, said Amy Jackson, city works
administrative secretary. Well call ahead to
set up a time and our guys will conduct an
inspection.
The city will save around $10,000 by having city workers conduct the residential inspection, and will sub out commercial
inspection to Hydro Designs Inc. for a oneyear agreement at $80/hour.
The Cross Connection Control Program is
in effect statewide, and residents will be responsible for the expense and replacement of
non-compliant fixtures.
DeJongh says if anyone refuses access to their plumbing, as part of the service
provided, the city could cut
the water off. Its not the

Lt. Terry Hakes, one of three Cornell firefighters who responded to a fire call
Tuesday, Jan. 27, sprays water on a skid steer at the Scott Mohr farm on
County Highway D. Dave Tonnancour, the fire chief in charge at the scene, said
although there was a small turnout for the call, those who did respond were
able to suppress the fire quickly. Mohr returned to the farm to find the skidsteer
smoking, and pulled it out from between two barns. It could have been a lot
worse, said Tonnancour. But he was able to get it in the open and away from
structures.

Operation Roundup donates to food pantry


By Heather Dekan
Chippewa Valley Community Funds, Inc., also know as
Operation Roundup, donated $350 to the Cadott Community
Christian Center Food Pantry.
Central Wisconsin Electric Cooperative (CWEC) says one
of their founding principles is neighbors helping neighbors.
In honor of that principle, the cooperative launched CWEC
Operation Roundup in 1999.
The program is designed to raise funds for charitable organizations, educational purposes and individuals in need.
Participating members bills are rounded up to the nearest dol-

lar, with an average annual household donation around $6.


When Istarted in 2010 or 2011, said Kathleen Filas, Operation Roundup board member,there were around 850
members who would round up their bills. If everyone would
round up, we would really have money to help.
To date, CWEC has distributed over $50,000 in funds.
The money goes into a fund and distributed to individuals,
families or charitable organizations picked by the board from
the applications they submit, that need financial assistance,
says Filas.

Although the winter solstice officially began Sunday, Dec.
21, those who enjoy the season still have nearly two months
left to bask in outdoor activities associated with the colder
weather, including ice skating.
The Cornell Mill Yard Park ice rink officially opened last
Friday, Jan. 23, and city workers said it was well used over
the warmer weekend. Temperatures were above 30, which
might be good for getting out and about, but bad for keeping
ice rinks frozen.
It had a lot of use over the weekend, said John Westaby,
utility/public works director for the city. Its pretty rough
but they (city workers) were out there earlier working on it
and it should be in real good shape by the weekend.
Westaby said the rink is still open for use, and the city is

working to get it straightened back out after the warm


weather and heavy use.
City employees had tried inDecember to get the rink open
for skaters, but a warm spell halted their efforts until last
week, when conditions allowed for another try.
To create the rink, a portion off the park is blocked off,
and a large tarp is placed on the ground to hold the water
while it freezes. The area is then flooded, and once frozen,
thin layers of water are created to make the surface smooth.
It might look rough in spots, said Westaby, but its actually smooth as glass when theyre done.
Several of the 1/16th inch layers of water are smoothed
over the surface with a special zamboni made from PVC
pipe, a towel and a hose. Each layer is left to freeze before

Walker keeps promise to teach us how to fish


By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
In the world of politics, following through
with proposals and campaign promises is rarely
something you hear
about. But in Gov. Scott
Walkers case, keeping promises is just part
of his character, and once again, hes doing
what he said.
The Workforce Readiness Plan, part of a
two-year budget proposal to be released
Feb. 3, follows through with Walkers campaign promise to limit public aid timeframes, and require drug testing for
recipients. This includes unemployment insurance and FoodShare (Wisconsins food
stamp program).
The Washington Post published an article
following Walkers campaign win last November, and lists Wisconsin as one of five
states (Maine, Minnesota, Pennsylvania
and Virginia) that already require testing
for those applicants who have been convicted of felony drug charges.
While many have expressed concerns
with how this may affect the budget and
decline benefits for those who need it, the
change would actually keep those on government aid accountable for what they
spend that aid on. And, it prepares individuals for life in the working (without aid)
world.
In 2006, a study from The Society for
Human Resource Management showed that
more than four out of five U.S. employers
require pre-employment drug tests, and 39
percent of those conduct random testing of
their employees. Thats 84 percent of private employers.
Just as employers want to be sure their
workers are 100 percent, the government
should also hold its beneficiaries to that
same standard. Public aid is in place to help
those who need it, with the understanding
that a person should work toward bettering
themselves so they dont need to be on aid
their entire lives. Can a person do that
while high, stoned or doped out?
But what about the children? Its not fair
to deny those kids food on the table just because their parents smoke a little weed now
and then.
No matter how you look at it, whether
you consider marijuana medically beneficial or not, its still illegal in Wisconsin. A
child should not have to suffer for their parents choices. On the other hand, is a child
really benefitting from someone who
needs aid, yet spends their money, and
time, on getting high?
Walker says those who fail the drug test

would be given the opportunity to participate in a free drug-treatment program and


receive job training. So even if you fail,
the state wont toss you to the birds, they
will give you ways to get help AND get a
job so you dont need government aid.
Although Walkers drug test proposal
also says it will save money (statistics to be
given next month), studies show this might
not be the case.
In Utah, Florida and Arizona, these same
drug testing policies cost more than they
saved, and resulted in only a small percentage of drug users. Only time will tell if this
will be the case inWisconsin, but shouldnt
benefit handouts be about helping people,
not about the money?
Saving money shouldnt be the main priority for helping government aid recipients,
but rather getting them back on their feet.
Even if you are concerned about the
money factor, the second portion of his bill
suggests it will save $3 million in two years
by lowering aid for able-bodied adults on

those who are struggling will need to get


back on their feet. To put it lightly, it will
kickstart that fire to get back on the job
market, ask for that promotion, or create a
need for ambition.
Too often good jobs are left untaken because theres no way Im going to do that
or I worked up to a manager position at
my last job, Im not going to start over as
just an employee. In times of need (and
receiving aid is by definition need) people
need to make sacrifices.
Theres an old saying that goes, give a
man a fish, hell eat for a day; teach a man
to fish, hell eat for a lifetime. Right now,
the United States is giving out billions of
fish a year. Why arent we handing these
recipients a fishing pole instead?
Local, state and federal governments
have gotten too caught up in the politics of
these programs. If unemployment insurance and FoodShare are in place to help us,
then thats what it should do not give us
fish without teaching us how to fish.

What goes on the outside, may end up on the inside


By Ginna Young
In todays world, many
women wouldnt dream
of leaving the house without makeup on, even if its
only a little eyeliner and
lip gloss. The outside
needs to look perfect
before going to work, dropping the kids off
at school, a party, shopping or running errands.
But what about the inside? Isnt it more
important to worry about what youre putting
in your body than on it?
Research shows many cosmetics and personal care products are made with parabens
(chemical compounds of parahydroxybenzoic acid); phthalates, which act as a softener; and formaldehyde, used as a
disinfectant, and in preservation of biological
specimens and the embalming of human remains.
These, and other additives, cause cancer,
interfere with functions of the endocrine system, accelerate aging, induce miscarriage,
cause developmental disorders in children
and infants, and hinder reproductive abilities.
They also cause redness or irritation of the
skin, eyes or glands, and trigger allergic reactions in some users.
Once in contact with the skin, chemicals
are absorbed into the skin, blood stream and
digestive system. One study showed that in
99 percent of breast cancer test subjects,
parabens were present in the cancerous tumors removed from patients.

The list of quotes goes on, but the standard still remains. Everyone procrastinates

have been given a bad reputation for abusing the system, milking the government
and being lazy. Although all reputations
stem from a sliver of truth, not all aid recipients fit into those categories.

Dr. Philippa Darbre, a research scientist at


the University of Reading in the U.K., found
that parabens may be carcinogenic, meaning
they can actually transform healthy cells into
cancer cells. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS),
a common foaming agent in toothpaste and
bubble bath, has also been identified as having carcinogenic properties.
There doesnt seem to be a governmental
watchdog over cosmetics marketed in the
United States, but according to safecosmetics.org, certain forms of parabens are banned
in Denmark in childrens cosmetic products.
By law, with the exception of color additives,
the FDA does not monitor cosmetic ingredients, and leaves responsibility up to the manufacturer.
So if theres no one looking out for the
American consumer, what can be done about
it?
Ceasing to wear makeup and cosmetics
will prevent chemicals from entering your
body, but that wont entirely eliminate the
problem. Those additives are also found in
deodorant, soap, shampoo, lotion, lip balm
and even toothpaste.
While some may be willing to sacrifice
beauty aids for their bodys well-being, most
people would probably agree discontinuing
the everyday use of soap, shampoo, deodorant and toothpaste is not really an option.
Cutting down on the amount of products
ingested or absorbed by daily use can help,
as small doses of individual products may not
cause permanent harm to the body. However,
when multiple products are used over an extended period of time, the results of that exposure are unclear.
Brown Barn Bath Company owner Chris
Untiedt recommends researching the products you use on a daily basis, buying from
companies you know and trust, reading labels, and familiarizing yourself with ingredients you want to avoid.
Sometimes you feel like you need a degree in chemistry just to read a label, said
Untiedt. Only buying products with short
ingredient lists of things you can read easily
really doesnt work either if you want a truly
fabulous product.
For example, Shea Butter is often listed

as Butyrospermum Parkii. Most companies


do put the common name in parenthesis after
the latin, but sometimes space just does not
allow for that.
Untiedt also warns about the rewording of
certain ingredients to disguise their common
name.
SLS can be renamed as sodium dodecyl
sulfate, or the combination of the words sulfuric acid, monododecyl ester, and sodium
salt or sodium salt sulfuric acid, Untiedt
said. Again, buy from companies you know
and trust, get a second opinion. Take a
minute to sit down with your favorite product, and look up each ingredient on the label
to reassure yourself.
Certain companies do make cosmetics and
health products with all-natural or near natural ingredients, and there are organizations
that exist to improve the quality/safety of the
products on the mass market. One such
source is the Environmental Working
Groups Skin Deep Cosmetic Database. Consumers can enter an ingredient at
ewg.org/skindeep for a summary of its hazards or side effects.
With that in mind, always be on the look
out for extremists. Bloggers and companies
look to scare consumers, and many give bad
advice.
Find a company you trust, with humans
who will answer your questions, rather than
always relying on faceless internet experts, said Untiedt. Most of all, use your
own common sense in evaluating what you
read and see.
While all-natural products may be the answer, they can also cost more than mass produced items and may not be as readily
accessed as items in retail stores. In the end,
the most influence in the buyers choice
comes down to availability, individual
budget and personal preference.
Maybe someday the FDA will step in and
regulate the use of additives in health and
beauty products, but until then, through research, consumers can still be aware of what
goes in their favorite brands.
And the next time you shower or apply
foundation, remember, what goes on your
body, might also end up in your body.

applying the next. If bumps or imperfections happen, a torch
is used to melt the ice and is then smoothed out again.
Dave DeJongh, city administrator, said the city has offered
an ice rink for as long as he can remember, and was originally
at the high school, by the tennis courts.
It used to be the whole parking lot by the school, said
DeJongh. The city used to flood it and that was the rink. I
remember there was even a skating rink attendant who would
help you with your skates.
While several residents can recall the rink back to the 60s
and 70s, others have said they remember it when they were
kids, dating it to at least the 50s. Following some changes
at the school, the rink spent a few years on hiatus, before finding a home at Mill Yard Park, about 10 years ago.
Since then skaters have used the area when they can, referencing it as a gift for this town to give to families.
The rink is kept clear by volunteers and city employees
throughout the season, and a warming shack is also provided
from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. for rink users.

Wisconsin offered tips


for sub-zero car care
Submitted by Rich White
When it comes to winter car care, many motorists think of
antifreeze and batteries, but vehicles need extra attention
when temperatures drop below zero. The following tips may
help your vehicle perform at its best during cold weather
months.
1. Keep the gas tank at least half full; this decreases the
chance of moisture forming in the gas lines and possibly
freezing.
2. Check tire pressure, including the spare, as tires can lose
pressure when temperatures drop. Consider special tires if
snow and ice are a problem in your area.
3. Have the exhaust system checked for carbon monoxide
leaks, which can be especially dangerous during cold weather
driving when windows are closed.
4. If youre not trying to defrost the windshield or warm
the interior, modern cars are ready to be driven right away.
Idling longer than 30 seconds in most cases is unnecessary
for the sake of warming up the engine. The best way to warm
up your car is to drive gently at the start.
5. Change to low-viscosity oil in winter as it will flow more
easily between moving parts when it is cold. Drivers in subzero temperatures should drop their oil weight from 10W-30
to 5W-30 as thickened oil can make it hard to start the car.
6. Consider using cold weather washer fluid and special
winter windshield blades if you live in a place with especially
harsh winter conditions.
Sub-zero temperatures can have a real impact on your vehicle. Winter magnifies existing problems such as pings, hard
starts, sluggish performance and rough idling, and very cold
temperatures reduce battery power.

Brunet Park plays host to


Candlelight Ski/Sledding

Cornell and Cadott to host


community health sessions

Brunet Island State Park in Cornell will play host to a Community Candlelight Ski and Sledding Event Saturday, Feb. 7.
Sledding will take place from 3 to 5 p.m.; and cross country
skiing and snowshoeing from 5 to 7 p.m.
The event, sponsored by the Cornell-Lake Holcombe Community Ed, the Cornell Lions Club and Cornell Area Betterment Association, will be held at the parks swimming beach.
The pavilion fireplaces will be tended by volunteers for sledders and skiers to warm themselves, with hot dogs, smores,
hot cider, chocolate and coffee served to participants.
The need for a state park sticker has been waived for the
event, and skis and snowshoes are available for use at no fee.
Event organizer Andrea Smith says the Candlelight Ski will
be held as long as the area doesnt see a major thaw. If the
weather holds and we dont lose any more snow, well be just
fine, she said.
To check on trail conditions, contact the park office at 715239-6888.

The public is invited to community conversations around


the area in February to help prioritize health concerns facing
Chippewa and Eau Claire counties.
Presentations will be held Tuesday, Feb. 3, 5:30 to 7 p.m.,
at Cornell High School; and Thursday, Feb. 5, 5:30 to 7 p.m.,
at Cadott High School. Other session will also be held in Altoona, Bloomer, Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, Fall Creek and
Augusta.
The meetings, by the Community Health Assessment Partnership, are a follow-up to a survey completed in fall 2014
by more than 2,500 Chippewa and Eau Claire County residents. At the community conversations, survey results will
be presented and attendees will be asked to help select priority focus areas.
We had a great response to our survey, and were excited
to share the results with community members and get
feedback in prioritizing our action plans, says Jen Rombalski, Chippewa County Department of Public Health director.
The community conversations are free and include a light
meal and prize drawings.
Bettering the health of our communities takes the efforts
of many, says Lieske Giese, Eau Claire City-County Health
Department director. This opportunity to meet with community members throughout our area is extremely valuable
in prioritizing our commitment to improving the health and
wellness of our citizens.

Repair loans now available


Loans are now available in Chippewa County to help homeowners make repairs to their homes. The Home Repair Program
provides loans at no interest to low to moderate-income homeowners for necessary repairs.
The loan does not have to be repaid until you no longer occupy the home (when you sell or move out of the home). There
is no interest on the loan and no monthly payments are required.
Loans are available for necessary home repairs such as replacing siding, windows, doors, furnaces, water/sewer laterals
from the curb to the house, replacing septic systems and wells,
upgrading plumbing, heating and electric systems, installing insulation, repairing foundations, and making a home accessible
for a member who has a disability.
Funds cannot be used for general remodeling such as updating decor. Loans must be approved prior to the work starting
and cannot be used to reimburse a family for work already completed.
Owners may choose the contractor they will use and are required to get three bids. Contractors must carry liability insurance and provide the program administrator with income tax
identification information. Certain income limits do apply.

Phillip J. Lukowicz
Phillip J. Lukowicz, 79, Conrath, passed away Wednesday,
Jan. 14, 2015, at Sacred Heart
Hospital in Eau Claire.
Phillip was born Nov. 6,
1935, to John and Isabel
(Mengel) Lukowicz in Marshfield.
He was united in marriage to
Dorothy Hiebsch in April
1957, and later divorced.
He received his education in
the Owen Schools, and was a
1953 graduate of Owen High School.
Phillip attended the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point,
received a bachelors degree in social work, majored in conservation and biology in 1957, and a masters of science degree in 1962 from UW-Milwaukee.
He worked as a social worker for the Sheboygan County
Department of Social Services Child Welfare from September 1957 to June 1962, and as a social work supervisor
for the Wood County Department of Social Services in
Wisconsin Rapids and Marshfield, until Dec. 1, 1969, when
he was promoted to director of the Wood County
Department of Social Services until his retirement June 15,
1998.
He was a member of the NASW-Academy of Certified Social Workers, UW-Stevens Point Alumni Association and the
SIASEFI Association.
Phil was active on various boards and committees in Rusk

the impact on the environment.
Phil loved to fish on Lake Holcombe. For many years, not
only did his children and grandchildren enjoy his story telling
and fishing boat adventures, but his open door policy
welcomed so many friends.
His story telling and compassion for life was evident in
everything he did. He taught his children, and their siblings,
how to respect and enjoy nature by living a simple life and
taking in the environment.
The measure of who we are, is what we do with what we
have. Vince Lombardi
You have taught us well, Dad.
He is survived by his daughter, Elizabeth (Mike) Keough,
Wisconsin, and their children, Benjamin and Megan Keough;
sons, Phillip Jay (Kathy) Lukowicz, Minnesota, and their
children, Abigail and Jonathan Lukowicz, and Mathew
Joseph (Tracey) Lukowicz, Virginia, and their children,

Holcombe Happenings
By Janice Craig 715-595-4380
About 50 people gathered at the Holcombe United

fun for the family that is enjoyed every year.
There were about 10 different chili dishes and every one a
little different, but all delicious. Liz Dempsey was the winner
of the taste contest.
When all was done, including the musical chairs and the
silent pie auction, the chili was frozen and then donated to
the Lake Holcombe Lions Club for the ice fishing contest
soon to take place.
Bill Stimeling was conspiculously missing, but was down
in Sun Prairie attending to church business. Pastor Kim and
family were in attendance greeting everyone as usual.
Many are fishing on Cranberry Lake and other areas of
Lake Holcombe.
Lake Holcombe Marina is having open house all week featuring all the beautiful pontoons and boats, even though we
have over a foot of ice. The time will go by all too quickly
when we will see boats once again on Lake Holcombe.
Everyone has been enjoying the January thaw.
Janice Craig attended the Essential Oils demo at Northwoods Church in Cornell, Saturday. This was hosted by Jennifer Krueger.

June 18, 1973; mother, Isabel Lukowicz Sept. 2, 1998; and

Students publish American citizenship book
Cornell third grade students from Kim
Anderson and Cindy Guests classes created
a book after they were given the topic
Thankful for American Citizenship, to
guide them in their writing process.
The classes went on a mission to learn all
they could to create their class book, demonstrating the rights they are most thankful for
as Americans. After focusing on the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, the
writing process was ready to begin.

Each student created a written explanation


of what they were most thankful for and
why. They followed up with emphasis on
what it would be like not to have such a
right. Once they completed the writing
process, they created an illustration to represent their own writing.
The book was then published, and Anderson says the students were very excited
to actually have their published book in
hand.

If you have been following the proposals our state legislature has been considering for education lately, I hope
you are questioning if these changes would be good for all
children in Wisconsin, or mainly for private schools and
businesses.
Our state has a great public education system. If people
wish to go to another system, taxpayer funds should not
follow. The state cant afford two or more educational systems.
Since the statewide voucher program has opened up,
many of the students awarded vouchers had already been
attending private schools in the prior year(s). The money

to choose from. How will students be compared equally?
Should we be comparing students? Should we be comparing schools?
The socioeconomic status and demographics of each district is different. If each district does not start with students
at the same level, how can they be expected to end at the
same level? Then, to make the test comparisons less valid,
is the fact that parents can opt their children out of the tests.
There is also a proposal to convert poor performing public schools into charter schools. Charter schools do not
need to follow the same regulations as public schools, so
is this why there is a belief charters would be better for
children? If this is true, why not just eliminate many of the
mandates for public schools?
Teacher licensing is the new area of contention. Its proposed that anyone with a bachelors degree and life experience can get a teachers license if they pass a test.

At the regular Cornell City Council meeting Jan. 22, City
Administrator Dave DeJongh reported Cornell has received
a $5,000 Urban Forestry Grant to assist in a tree inventory.
The grant will also help make plans for arrival of the emerald
ash borer, a beetle whose larvae feed on the inner bark of ash
trees, disrupting the trees ability to transport water and nutrients.
As a matter of prevention, the grant will provide pro-active
measures to protect ash trees in Cornell. A survey/inspection
will be conducted of all trees on city property by GPS or GIS.
The hope is to take all of this information and put it on a
map, said DeJongh. The information will be keyed on each
tree and the condition of it. The individual that will be doing
the inventory will be documenting all of this; it should be a
very positive thing for the community.
As part of the process, water lines will be marked through
GPS to avoid roots interfering with the flow and placement
of young trees.
Trees are very useful to communities to hold storm water
in the ground and provide canopy for cooling, DeJongh said.
They can also not be so good if theyre not the right kind
for overhead lines.
On other agenda, after discussion at a Finance Committee
meeting prior to the regular meeting, the council voted to
offer the part-time police secretary position to Cleoan Wright

Big conference wins for Hornets basketball


stakes are always high, especially going into this game. The rivalry between Cadott and Stanley-Boyd has always been one I looked forward
to adding a chapter to every time we play them.
The new leadership paid off for the Hornets as they dominated the
boards against the Orioles, 71-39, for the victory.
Senior Brett McChesney had 21 points to lead the charge for Cadott,
followed by senior Ezra Michael with 16 and senior Ben Kyes with 14.
Senior Kaeden Thom was also in double-digits with 12 and Sikora
added six to the Hornets scoreboard.
In the first half of the game, Cadott held a big lead, 35-17, which
came from the Hornets high-scoring percentages.
Mittermeyer says the team shot the ball well, going 23 for 25 from
the two-point range and eight of 14 from the three-point range.
This was our most efficient night of the year, said Mittermeyer. It
was a function of our exceptional passing.
Mittermeyer said a combination of good shooting with good rebounding usually leads to a win.
Jan. 22 vs. Thorp (41-37 W, conference)
The game against Thorp was close, even though Mittermeyer said
the Cardinals controlled most of the tempo in the Jan. 22 matchup.
Thorp has always done a nice job of controlling pace, he said. This
led to free throws by both teams, which we struggled with during the
game.
In the second half, Cadott sped things up, putting on a press which Andrew Brosted, freshman, makes a
quick break layup, scoring two of his

tying the game minutes before halftime. Just before hitting the

Turnovers lead to losses for Chiefs games


By Kayla Peche
Its all about keeping control for the Cornell Chiefs Boys
Basketball team said Shawn Schoelzel, Chiefs head coach.
We need to pass better, but one turnover leads to three,
which leads to six, Schoelzel said after a weekend loss. We
just need to keep our composure.
After being defeated by two non-conference opponents this
week, Cornell continues to work on their game and grow as
a team.
I try to preach in practice to be in control and today we
just werent, said Schoelzel. We got frustrated, which led
to too many turnovers.
Jan. 20 vs. Augusta (48-74 L, non-conference)
Cornell fell to the Augusta Beavers Jan. 20, during a home
game.
In the second quarter, the Chiefs lost energy and were
outscored, 12-29, which led to a 45-19 lead by Augusta going
into the locker rooms.
The Chiefs scored the same amount of points in the second
half of the game, but it was too late. Cornell lost to Augusta,
48-74, in the non-conference game.
Noah Nohr, a sophomore, scored 15 points to lead Cornell.
Sophomore Colton Hetke had 13 points and his classmate,
Levi Boehm, added eight for the Chiefs.
Jan. 24 vs. Eau Claire Immanuel (17-48 L, non-conference)
Shorthanded and undersized, Cornell had their work cut
out for them against Eau Claire Immanuel Lutheran, Jan. 24.
The Chiefs were outshot in the first quarter, 4-21, and
couldnt find a way to respond.
We couldnt do anything offensively, said Schoelzel.
Their defense, they just pushed us out and we couldnt get
anything going. We never got in a real good rhythm. They
just played really good defense.
The Lancers defense snubbed Cornell the majority of the
game, leading to the 48-17 non-conference weekend defeat.

Cadott girls continue to


impress coach Hazuga
By Kayla Peche
Taking on the number three team in the state this week, the
Cadott Hornets Girls Basketball team impressed their coach,
Dave Hazuga, on how effectively they played.
It was a really exciting game, Hazuga said. I was really
impressed with the girls.
In both games, Hazuga says the girls played a strong aggressive defense, which led to close game scoreboards.
Jan. 22 vs. Fall Creek (36-59 L, conference)
For a few minutes, Cadott held the lead over Fall Creek,
but as the clock ran down, the Crickets offensive power dominated. Fall Creek has yet to be defeated this season.
The Crickets put a full-court press on the Hornets early in
the game, which Hazuga said the girls handled well.
Full court pressure has been a weakness of ours, he said.
So I was impressed with how we handled it against probably
the best team we play on our schedule.
Going into the third quarter, Fall Creek led, 30-12, Hazuga
said momentum began to slow and the girls couldnt keep up,
falling 36-59 in the West Cloverbelt Conference game.
Hazuga says he was proud of the Hornets defense throughout the game. We focused on one of Fall Creeks key players
and kept her scoring low.
Despite Cadotts defense that kept the Crickets from inside
shots, Fall Creek hit outside three-pointers, securing their win.
Junior Elizabeth Kyes scored 15 points for the Hornets,
while senior Kyla Nichols added six.
Tory Crank, a junior, and Cailin Rineck, a freshman, each
hit three total points for Cadott.
The strongest word I can use to describe the Fall Creek
game wasI was impressed with my girls, Hazuga said,
because of how hard they worked to stay in that game, and
how effectively they did stay in that game.
Jan. 23 vs. Mondovi (27-32 L, non-conference)
The Hornets were their own worst enemy against the Mondovi Buffaloes Jan. 23, at Cadott. Shooting percentages and
fouls were the demons for the Hornets, and Hazuga says the
girls just had a bad shooting game.
It was a tough game for us, Hazuga said. This was one
of the more disappointing games. Sometimes the ball doesnt
go down.
The second quarter is when Cadott fell behind, hitting five
points to Mondovis 15. The Hornets kept up with the Buffaloes during the third quarter, bringing the score 19-27, but
low scoring and foul trouble led to a 27-32 loss for Cadott.
Two of the Hornets starting players, Kyes and junior Charlene Holte, fouled out during the final quarter of the game.
Charlene played some fantastic defense, said Hazuga. I
really didnt want to take her out when she had four fouls.
She really plays all out to win.
Kyes led Cadott with 10 points, and freshman Alexis
Kramer and Crank each added four points for the Hornets.
The Hornets traveled to Osseo-Fairchild Jan. 27, then host
the Altoona Railroaders Jan. 30, for two conference games.

By Kayla Peche
Besides trouble with putting the ball in
the basket, Jay Geist, Lake Holcombe head
coach, said the girls basketball team keeps
their confidence up and plays hard all the
way through their games.
They dont quit, he said. They dont
let up. We just cant get anything to go in
when we need to.
Jan. 20 vs. Shell Lake
(25-49 L, non-conference)
The Chieftains were only down by two
points after the first quarter against Shell
Lake in a Jan. 20 non-conference matchup.
A slow second quarter of only two points
put the hosting Lake Holcombe behind the
Lakers at halftime, 6-24.
Geist says the key thing for the girls is
banking in some hoops to make them more
competitive.
We are getting the shots, Geist said.
Its just to get our confidence up there.
In the second half of the game, it wasnt
much of a change offensively for the
Chieftains, until the final quarter, when
Lake Holcombe kept up to Shell Lake, 1415. But it wasnt enough to win the game,
and the Chieftains fell to Shell Lake,
25-49.
Jan. 22 vs. Unity
(28-35 L, non-conference)
When the Chieftains traveled to Unity
Jan. 22, they fought through to the final
buzzer, coming back in the fourth quarter
to gain a small lead on the Eagles.

This was a good game, Geist said. It


was a very fun and exciting game.
Geist says once the Chieftains gained the
lead, Unity hit a three-pointer to come
back, which was when Lake Holcombe
was forced to foul to get possession back.
We had to foul at the end, but they
(Unity) hit all their free throws, he said.
Regardless of the comeback, the game
ended, 28-35, with Lake Holcombe losing
by only seven points.
On that night, we hit some shots, Geist
says. When youre scoring, you play a little better.
Jan. 26 vs. Greenwood
(12-41 L, non-conference)
Lake Holcombe hosted Greenwood for
a Monday night game Jan. 26.
The Chieftains ran the ball and didnt
have a lot of turnovers, but their offensive
game was once again their downfall.
We could not put the ball in the basket,
Geist said. Thats the only thing we have
to do better, because the girls really played
hard.
Geist says the players start every game
doing really well, but tend to fall apart
about half way through the first quarter.
Greenwood defeated Lake Holcombe,
41-12, in the non-conference play.
Following the game, the Chieftains
hosted Bruce for an East Lakeland Conference game Jan. 27, then took to the road
Jan. 30, for a match against Alma Center
Lincoln.

Defense keeps game close


By Kayla Peche
Down by only one point at halftime, 16-17, the Cornell
Chiefs Girls Basketball team scuffled to catch up to Unity in
a Jan. 20 non-conference game.
We struggled to move the ball on offense in the second
half, said Marcus Leland, Cornell head coach, especially
in the fourth quarter.
During the first half of the game, Cornell gave a great defensive effort to bring the game to a one point difference.
Leland says he was happy with how the girls worked hard
throughout the game, but says there are things they need to
work on for future games.
We need to continue to work on our defensive positioning
and moving our feet, he said.
The Chiefs efforts on defense didnt help their offensive
game, as they were outscored, 33-21, in the second half.
Cornell fell to Unity, 37-50, in the final quarter of the
game.
Senior Makenzie Ewings had 20 points for the Chiefs, followed by her classmates, Kammey Kendall with six and Jane
Hickethier with five.
The Chiefs had a short break before they traveled to Birchwood Jan. 27, for an East Lakeland Conference game.

The Hornets wrestling team started their week off with
a rough home meet against Spencer, losing a portion of
their points for forfeits. But the team rallied back from the
10-56 loss to take seventh at an Arcadia hosted tournament.
Jan. 22 vs. Spencer (conference)
It was a tough start to the week for the varsity wrestling
team in Cadott, when they hosted Spencer for parents
night Jan. 22. The Hornets forfeited four of the 14 matches,
and only three wrestlers brought in points for the team.
Sophomore Isaiah Pecha was given best takedown for
the day, while Cole Hanson, senior, earned best effort and
three points for his 5-1 decision over Travis Stelson.
Cole wrestled a great match, said Josh Spaeth, Cadott
head coach. He never stopped working for the pin.
Andrew Gunderson, freshman, and Austin Najbrt, senior,
also earned points for their team during the 10-56 loss.
Jan. 24 Arcadia Invitational
Two days after the Spencer defeat, the Hornets traveled
to Arcadia to challenge 15 other teams, coming away with
a seventh place finish.
Tyler Gillett, a junior, earned best effort, winning all five
of his tournament matchups, and a first place finish, his
second tournament win for the year.
Tyler has perfect practice attendance and always works
hard, said Spaeth. Keep working hard Tyler, your hard
work and dedication will pay off.
Senior Austin Najbrt took home a first place title as well,
winning all of his matches four by fall, and one by technical fall. Najbrt was given Fastest Pin, with his 13 second
fall over Viroquas Delilah Vance, and racked up 53.50
points for his team.
Also placing at the tournament were Cole Hanson, senior, in second; Andrew Gunderson, freshman, and Wyatt
Cote, sophomore, in third; Bailey Gillett, freshman, in seventh; Blake Borntrager, senior, in eighth; Dominick
Grimm, sophomore, in 11th; and Isaiah Pecha, sophomore,
in 13th.
Cote was also given Best Takedown, and earned 39 team
points, winning three of his five matches.

With only three scheduled meets left, the Hornets hosted


Osseo-Fairchild/Altoona/Augusta Thursday, Jan. 29.

Lack of wrestlers means


low scores for Wolfpack
By Kayla Peche
Because of illness, injuries and family events, the CornellLake Holcombe-Gilman Wolfpack Wrestling team was shorthanded for the Jan. 24 St. Croix Falls tournament.
Normally a team of 13, the five who wrestled for the Wolfpack each had some success by winning at least one match.
It was a very tough tournament, said Greg Sonnentag,
Wolfpack head coach. The competition was good for us and
showed the boys that we need to keep working.
Senior Eric Nedland was the only wrestler who placed for
the Wolfpack, taking third at 126 pounds. Nedland began
with a bye to advance to the quarterfinals, where he defeated
Princetons Alex Roubillard by a fall.
In the third place match, Nedland won by decision, 11-4,
over Boycevilles Brock Swenson to earn points for CornellLake Holcombe-Gilman.
Eric Nedland wrestled very well as an individual, Sonnentag said.
The other four wrestlers attending, freshman Paul Nedland,
senior Spencer Gibson, senior Dusty Boehm and sophomore
Jake Hillebrand, each won a match for the Wolfpack, bringing the score to 24 points and putting them in 18th place.
Sonnentag says the team only has a few weeks to prepare
for their tournament run in February. Cornell-Lake Holcombe-Gilman will host a match against Flambeau in Cornell
Jan. 29, for their next competition.

Snowy owls return in large numbers DNR Outdoor Report


For a second consecutive year, snowy owls are returning
to Wisconsin in large numbers.
Ryan Brady, a WisDNR research scientist, has been
tracking this years irruption, and reports approximately
239 owls have been reported statewide, compared to 224
as of this date last year. Both totals are far above average.
Many Wisconsinites recall the winter of 2013-14 as one
of the best on record, so its surprising we are seeing similar
or even slightly better numbers this winter, said Brady,
who also serves as bird monitoring coordinator for the Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative. We usually see one
irruption event every three to five years, but Wisconsin has
experienced three in the past four winters.
According to Brady, the reason for these periodic influxes
into the state, also known as irruptions, is not well known.
Traditional thought suggested that a temporary shortage of
the owls primary prey in the Canadian arctic, a mouse-like
rodent known as a lemming, pushed owls southward. However, more recent evidence suggests nearly the opposite.
It is believed that an abundance of lemmings may allow
birds to raise large families these young owls then disperse southward into the region by the hundreds.
A common myth is that the majority of these birds are
starving in an unfamiliar landscape, said Brady. However, decades of data and experience indicate this is not
true.
Many snowy owls seek out open habitats similar to the
arctic tundra they call home. Common habitats include
coastal beaches and harbors, open grasslands and agricultural fields, wetland complexes, airports, and vast expanses

of ice-covered water bodies.


Owls in Wisconsin tend to focus on voles, mice, shrews,
and other small rodents for food. Snowy owls are also
known to pursue rabbits, weasels, pigeons and ducks.
Snowy owls are currently seen in most non-forested areas
of the state. Hotspots include airports and farm country
from Green Bay to Appleton, Collins Marsh State Wildlife
Area, Horicon Marsh, the Antigo area, the city of Superior,
Dunn County, Milwaukee lakefront, and the Highway 29
corridor between Wausau and Eau Claire.
While snowy owls can be seen during the day, the dawn
and dusk periods often provide a better chance of success.
Interested bird watchers are encouraged to explore area
roads and all potential perches carefully, including groundlevel, haybales, fenceposts, telephone poles, breakwalls,
silos and other buildings.
Snowy owls are expected to maintain their Wisconsin residence through March before beginning their
northward migration back to arctic Canada.
These are magical creatures stunning in appearance, unpredictable, mysterious, and the
epitome of wild, said Brady. I may never visit
their remote haunts thousands of miles to the
north but seeing one here brings a sliver of that wilderness to me.

Snowmobile trails continue to remain open in a dozen


northern counties, with conditions fair to excellent.
Cross-country ski trails remain in fair to good condition
in the northern half of the state.
More seasonal and consistent weather has made for increased fishing activity. In the north, there have been decent
catches of crappie, perch and bluegill. Northern pike fishing
has been fair, but walleye action remains sporadic.
Snowy owl sightings continue and short-eared owls have
also been spotted.
Great horned owls are calling to verbally defend their territories from other
owls.
Ducks and geese are abundant in
areas that retain open water.
There are more than 400 tundra
swans reported at Lower Mud Lake, and
open water stretches along the Yahara
River near McFarland in Dane County.
Mid-January is generally the onset of
coyote and red fox breeding cycles. Cold
winter nights afford opportunities
to listen for the raspy barks of red
fox or the high pitched yipping of
coyotes.

Soup-er school will host 100 years of basketball alumni


By Monique Westaby
Most activities for basketball games at Lake Holcombe begin
after 5 p.m. on weeknights, but next week, spectators might want
to plan to head to the school a little earlier for some extra activities
during the evenings matchup against Cornell.
At 4:30 p.m. Feb. 5, just before the girls and boys basketball
games, the Lake Holcombe Student Council will host their Our
School is Soup-er fundraiser.
Kate Elling, student council adviser, says chili, and chicken
noodle soup with crackers, cheese and dessert, will be served
from 4:30-6 p.m. with a free-will donation.
Half of the monies collected will be given to the Holcombe
Food Pantry, says Elling. The other half will be used by the
student council.
Elling says the fundraiser was planned because the student
council wanted to show their appreciation to the teachers, coaches
and community for their support.
Its just our way to recognize our soup-er school, she said.
But thats not the only event happening that night which coincides with the conference rivals game; it also marks the night in
which Lake Holcombe and the WIAA will honor the 100 years
of boys basketball in Wisconsin.

To celebrate, Lake Holcombe will host an alumni night for


the basketball games against Cornell, said Cindy Miller, athletic
director. There will be free admission for everyone who comes
to the game.
Miller says there will also be a sign-up sheet for anyone who
has played boys basketball at Lake Holcombe, and those names
of past players will be announced between games.
Rosters from Lake Holcombe can be found from over 80 years
ago, signifying that a boys team in Lake Holcombe has been
around since at least the 1926-27 season. The team had seven
players and was led by Coach Wentz.
The game has seen a lot of changes since its start in 1915, including three point baskets, ball dunking and a faster paced more
physical game.
Miller says for the next 100 years, she would like to see Lake
Holcombe maintain what they have, and not lose their program.
Not only will alumni in attendance be honored, as well as free
admission for anyone attending the games, but cake and rootbeer
floats will also be provided following the final buzzer.
The girls varsity and boys JV games are set to begin at 5:45
p.m., with the boys varsity and girls JV tip-off to happen at 7:15
p.m., at Lake Holcombe School.

Pup and Gators on Puckaway


Hello friends,
This job is all about having fun in the outdoors, in a
bunch of different ways, while traveling the upper midwest
and writing about it. This week I pegged out the fun meter
and watched our golden retriever, Fire, give birth to 10
pups.
Thursday, Jan. 15 High 29, Low 16
Selina, my daughter, had just gone to bed and, as usual,
her pal, Fire, was laying next to her. About a half hour after
we said goodnight, Selina came down to the living room
and said, Dad, Fire is having her pups. That was about
10 p.m.
The first was born in her bed; the next nine were born in
her whelping box in the living room. There are seven males
and three females. As of this writing, I have three males left.
If you are interested in one of those pups get a hold of me
ASAP.
Saturday, Jan. 17 High 38, Low 23
Five days ago my brother, Mike, gave me a call and asked
me where I thought a good place would be to go winter
camping and ice fishing. I was planning on bobcat hunting
(that has been challenging) and I figured I would do some
recon for Mike, his 13-year-old son, Dylan, and my brotherin-law, Dick Schuster.
My thoughts were to suggest my buddy, captain Justin
Kohn, who runs All Seasons Adventures (920-229-3494).
I gave Justin a call and not only did he say fish Puckaway,
but he told me he just put a shack on the ice that these guys
could sleep in.
A new and fun twist came to this adventure when the cat
hunt was cancelled because of lack of snow, and I was able
to join Dick, Mike and Dylan.
Yesterday was Dicks birthday, so of course we would
have to celebrate. The fun began about 30 minutes after our
arrival.
Mike, Dylan and I put out eight tip ups rigged with 12
pound fluorocarbon leaders, number 12 treble hooks
and medium golden shiners. Dick put out two tip
ups and jigged with his
third line.
The birthday boy had not

been at it long when


his jig pole started
bending and the line
peeled off his reel at
a rapid pace. Dick
had a large fish on
and it was obvious.
I would be the
gaff guy, which
can be a real losers
job. After a good 10
minutes, the gator Fire has given birth to 10 pups.
was at the bottom of the hole and I hit it with the gaff (an
extremely worn out, junk gaff of Dicks). I was pulling it
up and out of Lake Puckaway when the hook on Dicks gaff
straightened and what would be a 35 inch trophy, was off
and running. I gave up on the gaff and used two hands, and
Dick was now winning our gator contest in a solid way.
Today would be a very casual day for the four of us.
Temps in the high 30s, a steady bite with the tip ups and, as
always, lots of laughs.
On Puckaway you can keep one northern pike and it must
be 32 inches. Some people fish this lake for years and never
catch a legal.
This day, our group was very fortunate as I caught a 36
that was a true pigasauras and, unfortunately for my
brother-in-law, now put his trophy in second place.
Late in the day it was brats on the grill and a first rate
birthday party. Just before dark Dylan had a flag and did an
excellent job of landing a 33 inch gator.
We fished until the wee hours of the next day and when
we went to bed, our ambition was a little lacking instead
of putting up our cots we crashed on the floor of the shack.
At 6:10 a.m. our phones started making noise and our
buddy, Cole Koepp, was on the ice looking for us. I must
have had the flu or something because I felt terrible.
Anyway, one more legal
gator was caught and our
simple getaway almost has
to become annual.
Someone throw Dicks
gaff away!

Its a Girls Hunting


Life
By: Monique Westaby
A Weekend Worth It
It was late and Kendras
feet were cold, so her dad
took her home. But Scott (my husband), Jerry (our friend)
and I werent quite ready for bed. And neither were Blaze,
Chaos or Cordellia.
We tried another cornfield and the dogs took off exactly
the direction we wanted them to go. But in the world of
hunting, keeping things going the way you want them to
is a rare occurrence. Within minutes, all three turned and
headed the opposite direction.
When they reached the road more traveled, they took a
hard east turn and continued on their way. This wasnt
necessarily a bad direction for them to head, as long as
they didnt go to the road. But whether they followed
scent or it was just easier running was still up in the air.
Chaos darted in and out of the cornfields, while Blaze
and Cordellia B-lined it for blacktop. Big surprise. We
bounced across the trail and yelled for the two rascals
click-clacking down the road.
They turned and smiled, tails wagging and ears flopping while they calmy trotted back to the truck. We
hoisted them into the truck and headed back to where we
had left Chaos.
She barked intermittently amongst the rows but we
were still unsure if she was on a track or just out for an
evening run. The bouncing culminating from eight legs
moving back and forth in the box, along with the evergrowing whining volume, made it obvious Blaze and
Cord wanted to join their sister.
Already annoyed from the blacktop pick-up, the whining hit a nerve and we opened the door so we didnt have
to listen to it anymore. Like bats out of hell the two bolted
straight to Chaos. Within a matter of minutes, all three
were treed, and their barking confirmed the GPS beeps.
They were only about 100 yards down the edge of the
field, and we grabbed leads, a gun, ammo and a camera
and headed in. It was only the length of a football field,
but cornstalks and brush make for a seemingly longer
hike not that Id prefer prickly ash or a swamp, but
maybe treeing on the edge of a bean or hayfield wouldnt
be too much to ask for every now and again.
We arrived at the tree and two bandits were hiding
amongst the branches. These two coon may not have won
any contest, or kept a family from going hungry, but the
dogs were excited and so were we.
After tying leads to the dogs and patting them up and
down for their work, we found a good shot and took both
coon, saving a few more cornstalks for another day.
I led out Blaze, our 80 pound behemoth walker, while
Jerry took Cordellia, our rat on acid 30 pound black and
tan. Scott carried the coon, which maybe added up to one
regular size coon, and led out Chaos, our 40 pound Its
not living anymore so I could care less about it
walker/bluetick.
We called it a night and Scott skinned the coon and
added them to the already nearly full old freezer. It was a
great couple nights of opening coon hunting weekend and
although I didnt get much sleep, it was totally worth it.

Like looking for a coon


in the tree at night, if
theyre not looking,
sometimes the easiest
way to spot one is by
the rings on their tail.
This tree has two, can
you spot them?
