Main Street fire deja vu 101 years later


By Heather Dekan
In April 1914, fire destroyed nine businesses on the west
side of Main Street in Cadott. Fast forward 101 years, almost
to the day, and fire again broke out in an apartment complex
in the same spot.
Several firefighters from three districts battled the fire in
downtown Cadott Thursday,April 2, 2015. The call came in
at 3:45 p.m. and the last of the crews left the scene around
7:30 p.m.
We were very fortunate to be able to confine it to two
apartments, said Rick Sommerfeld,Cadott fire chief. With
the history of that block, in the early 1900s, that entire block
burned down.
Paula Stanton, Cadott library director, said they were
working when the Cadott police officers came in and evacuated them from the building because of the fire. Other businesses, such as the Courier Sentinel office, were already
closed for the day.

Initial appearance
adjourned to May
By Kayla Peche
Over a year after the accident occurred, Douglas S. Kohl,
21, had his initial appearance at the Chippewa County courthouse March 31, but failure to appoint an attorney led to a
delay of the case.
Kohl has been charged with four Felony F counts of Injury
by Use of a Vehicle Under a Controlled Substance, and four
misdemeanor counts of Cause of Injury by Operating Under
(See Initial Appearance Page 11)

The structure housed six upstairs apartments, and businesses below, such as the library, Courier Sentinel office and
a hair salon.
It started as a kitchen grease fire, and got into the walls,
said Sommerfeld. There is significant damage to two of the
apartments and there was smoke in three other apartments.

Lake Holcombe Town Board

Double yellow in future for North Shore Drive?


By Ginna Young
A visitor at the March 26 Lake Holcombe Town Board
meeting had a few comments for board members about
North Shore Drive and its winding curve. Jim Pyle, Holcombe resident for the past two years, brought a request before the board to put a solid line on one section of the road.
That big curve there, if you dont make those curves, you
end up in the lake or in the swamp, said Pyle. You did put
up some new signs, because my son said, Lets try to make
this street a 45 mph, Dad, and stay on two wheels you did
put up some new signs that say 35. But the way it goes so
gradually and so long, Im sorry, but every single day if you
go there, youll be driven off the road.
Although Pyle offered to do the paint job himself, the
board said it was not a cheap process and needed to be done
professionally.
Youre not the only one, said Robert Bayerl, town chairman. There have been a couple others who have talked
about this to the town. To put that center line there in that
area, youd have to run a double yellowAnd its got to be
done by regulation. Once you put it down, then it always has
to be maintained and put down.
Bayerl thanked Pyle for coming forward with the matter

and said the board would take the matter under advisement.
In new business, Bayerl informed members of a request
from the Lake Holcombe School for the town to put up No
Parking signs on the street leading up to the school. Bayerl
said there have been complaints that the street is too narrow
with cars parked on either side, and that it causes the township a problem for snow removal.
I just wanted to bring that up, because I spent some time
talking with them, and I said, Yes, wed be willing to work
with them on that program, Bayerl said.
In other business, the board renewed their trash and recycling services contract with Express Disposal. Members

Crimes of opportunity are on power-load in the area


By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
So lock up your daughter
Lock up your wife
Lock up your back door
And run for your life
----The meaning behind AC/DCs 1976 hit
T.N.T. may not be entirely clear, but one thing
is clear about their lyrics lock up your property. While daughters and wives may not need
such strict security, you should reconsider
when to lock your doors.
Its not uncommon to see headlines of businesses broken into, or thousands of dollars
worth of electronics and tools recovered in a
search warrant. More often than not, you read
the headline, its from somewhere you arent,
and you move on with your day.
But what if that happened in a land not-sofar away from you? What if your neighbors
truck was stolen, or the business you frequent
was broken into?
In 2012, the FBI says over 140,500 cases of
property crime were reported, which means in
a state of 5.76 million people, about every
40th person was affected by some sort of
property crime. Narrow that down even further, and in the Cadott, Cornell, Lake Holcombe area, about 35 of those people will be
from your neck of the woods.
Bestplaces.net ranks Chippewa County as
having a 37 on the property crime 100 scale.
This includes burglary and theft without force
or threat of force. The use of force is categorized under violent crimes, which carries a
38.5 rating. The U.S. average for both is 43.5
for property crimes, and 41.4 for violent
crimes.
So what does all of this have to do with
you?
In the last three months, two vehicles were

stolen in Chippewa County, more specifically


the Cornell area. Last year, gas jugs were
taken from the Lake Holcombe area, and in
2013, a man and woman were charged with
stealing more than $10,000 worth of arm
bands from Chippewa Valley Music Festivals.
Just a year before that, a family farm in rural
Cadott had nearly 50 bales of hay taken, along
with other items from the farm.
Cadott Chief of Police Louis Eslinger says
his department has responded to less than a
dozen thefts this year, but on average, responds to about 100 reports of thefts in a
years time, with about one of those a vehicle
theft.
This isnt 30 years ago when you knew all
your neighbors, said Eslinger. People dont
always know their neighbors and you dont
know people who are traveling through. With
more opportunity to travel larger distances, its
easier for people to go car shopping or property shopping.
The two thefts in the Cornell area, one just
north of the city limits on 27 and the other inside the city limits on South Riverside Drive,
resulted in stolen property from the vehicle,
and leaving the trucks abandoned one
crashed into and flown over a guard rail north
of Augusta, the other left in a parking lot in
Chippewa.
Brian Hurt, chief of police in Cornell, says

Not worse, but people need to be vigilant in


protecting their property. With more people
and more property, theres more to protect.
It may add an extra step in your routine, but
lock your vehicles doors when you get home
each day, and dont ever keep anything valuable inside. Checkbooks, cash, car titles and
electronics are easy targets for robbers, and
look appealing when glancing through a window.
Hurt says often times, thieves check car
windows for items such as change or cigarettes, and leaving a door unlocked is giving
them the opportunity to steal. Locks are there
to keep an honest man honest.
He also says leaving lights on, keeping the
area around your home clear, and letting law
enforcement know if youre going to be out of
town can help.
So take AC/DCs advice when youre away
from (or even still in) your home, and every
time you get out of your vehicle; even if
youre just up town or parked in your driveway.
No, dont lock up your daughters and
wives, or run for your life, but turn the lock on
your back (and front and car) door. Theft is a
crime of opportunity, and eliminating that opportunity can make the difference of someone
shopping at someone elses house, or riding
out of the sunset with your color TV screen.

these types of crimes are crimes of opportunity, and simply removing keys and locking
doors can deter burglars from taking whats
not theirs.
In the last year, Hurt says the department responded to nine burglaries, and 49 thefts, ranging from shoplifting to auto theft. In the past
three months, he says Cornell has had six
thefts, one residential burglary, and one attempted burglary, but this is the slow time of
year.
There are fewer thefts, and people tend to
be home more because of weather and longer
night hours, said Hurt. People think theres
the security of living in a small town, but it
does happen.
In February, a local business had tires stolen
from their building on Bridge Street inCornell, and in November, an entire ATM was
taken from Paradise Shores in Lake Holcombe. Residents have also seen their property disappearing, and just last week, two
subjects were arrested in Hawkins (east of
Ladysmith) with $90,000 worth of stolen
property.
Property crimes dont just happen to other
people, and they dont just happen in places
you dont live. They happen in your backyard,
to your friends and family, and to the businesses you shop at.
The world has changed, says Eslinger.

age. Ihave had to pull my drivers license out


on more than one occasion to prove it.
Iremember when Iturned 18, and I went to
the gas station to buy smokes. Yes, Iknow, a
terrible habit. The clerk looked at my license,
looked at me, and proceeded to tell me my ID
was a fake. Im sorry, what?
Ichuckled a little, until Irealized she was
not kidding and refused to sell to me. Iwas
hoping she would call the police to report a
minor attempting to buy tobacco, just so they
would take one look at my license and tell her
just how wrong she was.
Istill get carded everywhere I go, unless its
in my hometown where everyone knows me.
While in Appleton a few weekends ago to
cheer on some of my friends at state bowling,
got together and went out Friday night. There
were bouncers at every door checking IDs.
I got a few who would look at me, my ID,
then me again, but didnt say anything. Iwas
just waiting for one of them to say something.
Then it happened.
We walked into one place where the music
was loud and Ihanded over my license. The
guy looked at me and says, Your chin is different, this cant be you.
Seriously?
Iknow drivers license pictures never turn
out good, at least in my case, but that is 100
percent me. Ilooked at him and laughed and
said, Youre kidding me, right?
He was dead serious. But he gave me my
license back and let me in. Igot a good
chuckle out of it and told the group of people
Iwas there with what happened, but it irked
me.
Yes, my face looks young, but my body
feels just the age Iam, maybe older some
days. More often than not, it takes me a couple days to recover after a fun night out.
Ifeel like so many people do not take me
seriously because they assume Im so much
younger than Ireally am. And the looks Iget

from people when Im with my three children


are ridiculous.
Its not as bad as it used to be, but most of
the times when I would go grocery shopping,
or go to appointments by myself with three
small children, Iwould get horrible looks.
Iimagine they were thinking Iwas just some
teen mom with kids who had no clue what
Iwas doing.
Iam the oldest of five kids, but whenever
someone sees a picture, they always assume
my brothers are the oldest. Im completely
OK with that.
My mom does this thing where every time
we run into someone she knows, she introduces me and tells them half my life story; she
must be proud of me or something. Anyway,
when she gets to the part about how Ihave
three children, Ialways get the same surprised, are you kidding me look, and the question, Are you old enough to even have three
kids?
Well yes, Iam old enough. And no, Iwasnt
a teen mother. But thank you for the compliment.
Its the genes on my dads side of the family all his sisters look young for their age, as
well as my dad.
Idont know how many times people dont
believe me when Itell them how old my dad
is, and always say how good he looks for his
age.
I could go without the assuming and judgment when it comes to me being in a 21 plus
establishment and people think I shouldnt be
there, or when Im out with my kids and I get
the looks. But Ill take it.
Id rather look younger than I am than
older. Ijust hope it holds up so when Im
about 50, people will assume Im only about
30.
Ican only imagine the looks or remarks
Iwill get when Ibecome a grandmother
someday, and I still look young for my age.

Listen, Act and Live: Tornado Awareness Week


With the weather warming up and snow beginning to
melt, that only means tornado and severe weather season is
approaching. Listen, Act and Live is the slogan of Wisconsins Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week April
13-17.
Wisconsin has an average of 23 tornadoes annually, with
22 reported last year. For Chippewa County, from 1844 to
2014, there have been 38 tornadoes, and surrounding counties have had an average of 27 tornadoes in that time span.
According to readywisconsin.wi.gov, families should develop a plan for their home, work, school and outdoors. Wisconsins Division of Emergency Management says it is best
to have frequent drills and to keep a disaster supply kit including water, food that wont spoil, a first-aid kit and a
weather radio.
This years statewide tornado drill is planned Thursday,
April 16. At 1 p.m., the National Weather Service will issue
a mock tornado watch, and at 1:45 p.m. a mock tornado
warning. Radio and TV stations will participate in the drill,
which provides an opportunity for schools, businesses and
families to practice safe procedures for severe weather.
Local schools will also prepare themselves and their communities, with Cadott, Lake Holcombe and Cornell holding
drills during the statewide event, along with an unannounced
drill to make sure students and teachers are prepared.
The Cornell Middle/High School is a designated tornado
shelter for not only the school population, but also for the
community. Dave Elliott, Cornell principal, says a front door

at the school is automatically unlocked when the tornado


siren sounds in town, and the school has signs directing people where to go to take shelter.
Our students have a tornado drill at least twice a year,
Elliott said. We can successfully fit the whole school population in the shelter area. The shelter area also contains
bathroom facilities.
Once you Listen to the siren blow, it is time to Act to Live.
According to the Division of Emergency Management, in a
home or building, avoid windows. Move to a basement, and
get under a sturdy table or the stairs. If a basement is not
available, move to a small interior room or hallway on the
lowest floor and cover yourself with towels, blankets or pillows, and put as many walls between you and the storm.
If outdoors, seek shelter in a sturdy building. If there is
no shelter, stay in a vehicle with the seatbelt on and place
your head below the windows. Do not seek shelter under an
overpass.
For mobile homes, families should leave the residence
and go to a designated storm shelter, or lowest floor of a
sturdy building. At school, go to the interior hall or room
crouch low, head down and protect the back of your head
with your arms. Stay away from windows and large open
rooms like gyms and auditoriums.
The statewide tornado drill will take place even if the sky
is cloudy, dark or rainy. If actual severe storms are expected
in the state, the tornado drill will be postponed until Friday,
April 17, at the same times.

Wisconsin implements DNA at arrest


A swab inside the cheek of people arrested
may be all it takes to solve another crime.
Wisconsin law enforcement began collecting DNA samples from violent felony arrestees, and all persons convicted of a crime,
misdemeanor and felonies, when a new law
took effect April 1.
Previously, Wisconsin required only convicted felons and sex offenders to provide
DNA, now Wisconsin is the 29th state to collect DNA at arrest.
There is a huge investigative benefit to
taking DNA at arrest by solving crimes and
preventing future victimizations, Brad
Schimel, attorney general said. Serious
crimes will be solved by matching suspects
in our database to offenders, as well as eliminating innocent persons from law enforcement investigations.
He says this will bring about quicker reso-

lutions for the victims.


To prepare for the increase in DNA sample
analysis, the Wisconsin Department of Justice
expanded the State Crime Lab in Madison
with nearly 5,000 square feet of office space
and just over 3,000 square feet of lab space,
along with additional storage space. Eight
new DNA analysts and eight new forensic
program technicians were also hired.
The Crime Labs DNA data bank has assisted law enforcement in matching DNA left
at crime scenes in over 5,600 cases since
1998, using DNA collected solely from convicted offenders. But the Crime Lab reports
that nearly 14,000 DNA profiles developed
from crime scene evidence remain unidentified as the DNA data bank does not contain a
matching offender profile that would permit
identification of a potential suspect in these
crimes.

DNA at Arrest Stats


The first DNA at arrest legislation passed in 1997 in Louisiana.
28 states and the federal
government require some form
of DNA collection at arrest.
Wisconsin collects approximately 12,000 DNA samples
from convicted felons annually.
Wisconsin has over 154,000
offender DNA samples in the
Combined DNA Identification
System, and over 14,000 samples in the forensic DNA database.
The DNA at arrest law is expected to add approximately
68,000 new samples in its first
year (25,000 felony arrests and
convictions, and 43,000 adult
misdemeanor convictions).

Privacy and Benefits (according to the attorney general)


Privacy
DNA is a biometric identier, similar to ngerprints
and photographs that have
been taken for over a century.
Law provides safeguards
for DNA samples, precluding its use outside of criminal
justice purposes.
The offender prole itself
is a series of alpha/numeric
symbols attached to an identication number for the offender. Names and other
identifying information are
never uploaded. Separate
data bases are maintained for
security.

The sample is not subjected to any testing that provides information on the
current or predictive health
status of the offender.
Samples are taken by law
enforcement at the time of
booking for violent felonies
and after conviction for other
felonies and misdemeanors.*
Collection entails using
two sterile cotton swabs and
rubbing each one on the inside of a cheek to collect buccal cells.
There is no privacy interest in the DNA a suspect
leaves at the scene of his or
her crime. It is abandoned

property capable of bringing


justice for the victim of the
crime.

the State of Wisconsin Investment Boards name and address. The seller is asked to cash the check, keep the full
price of the item, and wire back the extra funds to the
sender.
If someone wants to pay by check and have you wire
money back, its a scam no matter whose name is on the
check.
Banks must make funds available quickly, but that
doesnt mean a check is good. It can take weeks for forgery
to be discovered, and when a check bounces, the bank will
hold the consumer accountable for the full amount plus fees.
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and
Consumer Protection (DATCP) suggests these steps to
avoid a fake check scam:
When selling something, dont accept a check for more
than the selling price, especially when the buyer asks for
the difference in return.
Dont spend the funds from a check until the check has
fully cleared the banks system and the funds are available.
The State of Wisconsin Investment Board is not purchasing your Craigslist item. If you receive one of these
fake checks, file a complaint with the Wisconsin DATCP.

March deadliest month of


traffic deaths since 2007
From the WisDOT
Thirty-six people died in traffic crashes in Wisconsin last
month, which was the deadliest March on Wisconsin roads
since 2007, when 58 fatalities occurred, according to preliminary statistics from the WisDOT.
Traffic deaths last month were four more than March of
2014, and six more than the five-year average for March.
As of March 31, 98 people have died in Wisconsin traffic
crashes during 2015, including eight pedestrians, two bicyclists and one motorcycle operator.
With the start of the road construction season, the WisDOT
urges drivers to be cautious in work zones.
Workers and equipment must operate within a few feet
of traffic in work zones, says David Pabst, director of the
WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety. Although workers are exposed to great danger, approximately three out of
four people killed in work zone crashes are motorists. Work
zone crashes are caused primarily by drivers who speed, tailgate, and dont pay attention to rapidly changing road and
traffic conditions.
Rear-end collisions are the most frequent type of crash in
a work zone. Because of the risks to drivers, passengers and
workers, traffic fines are double in work zones.

Tales of our Beginnings


Cadott Cornell Lake Holcombe areas
Cornell began with the arrival of two people from different parts of the world Jean Brunet, born in France,
and Ezra Cornell, from Ithaca, N.Y.
Both were interested in the logging business and the
building of a new territory.
Brunet operated the first stopping place at a falls on
Jean Brunet
the river, below where the dam is located. His friend,
Cornell, saw a great need for the beautiful trees and potential logging industry here.
In the later part of the 1800s, Cornell began to make
plans to build a mill and city at this place first called
Brunet Falls.
Before Cornell could get his plans under construction, Ezra Cornell
which originally located the city on the other side of the river, he
died in 1874, at the age of 67.

Holcombe hosts show


for every household

Ziporrah Hartzell, 6, grins as Lisa Martino shows


her how much hair she cut off for donation to the
Locks of Love organization April 6. Although the required length to donate is only 10 inches, Ziporrah
had 14 inches cut to be fashioned into wigs and
hair pieces for cancer patients.
(Photo by Ginna Young)

After six-year-old Ziporrah Hartzell donated her hair


to Locks of Love, Lisa Martino finished styling the
new cut. Ziporrahs smile only grew bigger through
the process, and her mother, Darsie, says they will
send the donated hair to the organization themselves. A form can be found on the Locks of Love
website, and provides space for a small background on the donor.

Girl donates hair after seeing story in paper


By Ginna Young
Six-year-old Ziporrah Hartzell, of Cornell, may not have
tresses quite as long as Rapunzels, but she came close until

Lucas and Allie Bourget, of Cadott, eat breakfast at


the Cadott American Legion andVFW Annual Pancake Feed Sunday, March 29, at the Cadott High
School. The event, which has been going on for
about 30 years, used to be held at Roths Sugar
Bush until their business moved into town.

A group of people eat at the Cadott American Legion andVFW Annual Pancake Feed Sunday, March
29. The proceeds support the Cadott American Legion and VFW, and their programs, such as the
Badger Boys and Girls State. Pancakes, maple
syrup, sausage, cheese, ice cream, coffee and milk
were served to approximately 200 people at the
fund-raiser.

Lisa Martino, of Lisas Beauty Salon, in Cornell, cut about


14 inches for donation to Locks of Love April 6.
Ziporrah heard about the program that provides hair pieces
for cancer patients after she saw a story in the Feb. 19 issue
of the Courier Sentinel, about five-year-old Anelise Larson,
who donated her hair. Ziporrahs mother, Darsie Hartzell, explained what it was all about, and the six-year-old made up
her mind on the spot.
I wanted to do something nice for people who have cancer
and dont have hair, said Ziporrah.
For Ziporrah, the stories of people who lost their hair from
the dreaded disease may have hit close to home, as her
mother recently battled cancer and completed her treatments
last year.
She knows, she had that experience with Mommy, said
Darsie.
Locks of Love, started in 1997, sends hair pieces to recipients in all 50 states and Canada. Untreated hair is preferred,
and donations must come in the form of braids or ponytails.
Even though Ziporrah has only trimmed her hair in her
young life, she says she wasnt scared or nervous, and went
through the experience with a big smile on her face.
Daddy (Jeremy) is excited to see what itll look like, said
Darsie. And Grandma Sue is so proud of her.
This is a big deal, said Martino. Shes really brave to
do this.

Gear up for another year of the annual Lake Holcombe
Sport and Activity Show, planned for Saturday, April 11, at
the Lake Holcombe School. Doors are open from 9 a.m. to
4 p.m., and the event will again be held in both gyms.
Weve lined up more than 50 vendors that will feature a
wide variety of work and play tools for every household,
says Tom Hayden, chairman. It looks pretty much the same
as last year; maybe a couple new ones.
This is the fourth year Hayden has been in charge of the
event, which was once held through the Ladysmith ATV
club. The annual event will feature craft and gift items,
tourist information for the area, maple syrup and maple syrup
equipment, fishing guides, dog training and taxidermy, to
name a few.
Air-tech always brings a lot of four-wheelers, golf carts,
that kind of thing, says Hayden. Zacho is bringing up a
Bad Boy Buggy, which is like a souped-up golf cart. Wissota
Sky Diving is going to be here again. Tractor Central comes
every year.
Several local marinas will also be in attendance, as well
as displays from A & D Docks. Hunting, trapping and fishing
gear will be in one gym, along with wood carvings and signs.
A silent auction is planned, and Hayden says there will be
a variety of items available to win. They give like a helmet,
or whatever from their dealership. Sometimes its a free setup of a dock, or something like that. I think weve had free
cabin rentals too.
Along with vendors, silent auction and concessions (brats,
hot dogs, beans and deep fried cheesecurds), a 3D bow shoot
is planned to replace the BB gun shoot from last year, which
was unavailable this time around.
There is an admission cost for those 13 and older, with
proceeds going back into the school, and Hayden says funds
dont go to anything specific, he just puts the money back
into the kettle.
I just put it in, said Hayden. Its hard to know what is
more important. I throw it in the kettle for the general fund
for the PRIDE Committee (who sponsors the show).
Although the money can be used for whatever PRIDE
deems necessary, Hayden says he does have a few suggestions, like adding a sign on school grounds that shows
events.
They used to have something down there, but Im going
to run power and internet so they can set up something a little
nicer if they want.

Obituaries
Edward William Boris
Edward Eddie William
Boris passed to a better place
March 23, 2015.
He was a son, brother,
husband, father, uncle, fatherin-law, grandfather and greatgrandfather.
Eddie was born at home in
Minneapolis, Minn., May 2,
1923, to Susan Chupka Boris
and James Boris, both of
whom immigrated to the
United States from Czechoslovakia, in 1905 and 1907.
They soon relocated to Holcombe, where Eddie spent his
childhood on the family farm.
At the age of 18, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps, and
served in the Pacific Theatre, including Guadalcanal Island,
until he was honorably discharged in June 1944.
Three years later, Eddie met Vivian Lynch at a wedding
dance in Holcombe. They married Feb. 12, 1949, at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Flambeau.
Eddie began his career in banking and finance, but moved
into the tool and die business when the family moved to
southern California in 1961. There he joined his brother, Jim,
at Trio Metal Stamping in City of Industry, where he served
as general manager until his retirement 30 years later in June
1991.
Soon after retirement, Eddie and Vivian sold the home in
Walnut, Calif., where they had raised their children and retired to La Quinta, Calif. In La Quinta, they joined other longtime friends and made many new ones.
Eddie loved the beauty of the desert mountains, the card
games with friends, the walks, driving his grandchildren
around the lake in the yo-ho boat, volunteering with Vivian
at Marthas Kitchen, and attending St. Francis of Assisi
Catholic Church.
He was a voracious reader, an avid sports fan, and loved
music and dancing. His loss of hearing late in life deprived
him of music and conversation, but sports and books got him
through those years.
Eddie was a generous, humble and sentimental man, a loving husband, and the perfect dad. He joyfully shared his time,
energy and humor, and happily used his considerable management experience to organize everything from family trips
to the beach, to moving children in and out of apartments
from one end of the state to the other.
He treated his own six children with respect and tenderness, and shared that compassion with every other child he
came across. He took great care of his family; to be one of
Eddies children was a true blessing. He kept them all in a
bubble of warmth, safety and unconditional love.
A pat on the back, a squeeze of the hand, an arm around a
shoulder, a reminder that, everything is going to be OK,
were his balm.
Ed Boris was a man who was always grateful for, though
a little surprised at, how wonderful a life he had been given
a loving and beautiful wife, a large healthy family, a comfortable home in the California sun, a circle of friends,
his treasured extended family, financial security, and the opportunity to travel through the United States and to see Europe.
He marveled at how his life had exceeded his dreams. The
seventh of eight children, he came into the world surrounded
by family and departed the same way with his children by
his side and watched over from above by his beloved bride,
Vivian Lynch Boris, who preceded him in death by two years.
His life was always filled with family, exactly as he wanted
it to be.
Words Eddie gave his children to live by: Take good care
of each other nothing is more important than family.
He is survived by children, Suzanne (Anthony)
Chiarchiaro, Kathryn (Gregg) Boris-Brown, Daniel (Greta
Howard), Patricia (Daniel) Boris-Swett, William (Kim
Palmer), Mary Jo (Anthony) Gomez; grandchildren, Jessica

If you havent checked out the Cornell Public Library in
a while, stop in during National Library Week, April 12-18,
to see what they have to offer. Visitors can also sign up for
a chance to win reusable library bags throughout the week.
Libraries across the United States are becoming community centers for the people they serve, offering computers
for public use, free WiFi, books, CDs, DVDs, magazines
and more. The library also has copy and fax services for a
minimal cost, and proctor tests at no cost for those continuing their education.
Its also time for the yearly Culvers Coloring Contest,
held during National Library Week. Children ages four to
11 may stop at the library, pick up a coloring page and draw
a picture representing their favorite book. All participants

landscape.
Every participant will receive a new book at the end of
the summer, and the top two readers will earn an additional
prize. The Cornell Lions and River County Co-op donate
to the summer program.
Instead of a scheduled LEGO Club, parents can stop in
with their children and have LEGO time together. Builders
are asked to pick up when they are done, and be respectful
of others in the library by keeping the noise level within
reason.

Sime decides retirement is right time to slow down


By Ginna Young
After 53 years, a familiar face at the River Country Store,
formerly Cornell Farmers Union Co-op, wont be there to
greet customers or talk over a cup of coffee. Larry Sime, store
manager, has decided to retire, and says it was time to slow
down and enjoy his many hobbies with wife, Helen.
Sime started at the co-op feed mill at 19, and from there became an agronomist specializing in seed, fertilizer and chemicals. Over the years, hes seen many changes, but says the
biggest may be in the amount of employees from then to now.
When I first started, we worked six days a week, from 7
a.m. until the work was done at night, and had six full-time
workers, said Larry. Then we went up to 20, and now were
back down to three.
The amount of personnel dropped when the Farmers Union
merged with River Country in 1997, and shifted the feed business to their Bloomer/Chippewa Falls locations.
Used to be, we had the feed mill, fertilizer plant, bulk delivery trucks and the gas station, said Larry. With the Country Store, were more in small pet feed, guns and ammo; its
basically more of a selling store, than a service store.
Service is one thing Larry knows about during his time as
Country Store and Farmers Union hardware store manager,
and thats reflected through two awards he says hes very
proud of.
The main thing is the Eagle Squadron Award for selling
seed, said Larry. And I won the Sparkle Award, which is

for customer service.


Joining him in the role of service is his wife of 53 years,
Helen, who could be found behind the scenes at most co-op
events, mainly involving breakfasts and lunches for the customers.
Whatever needed to done, I did it, said Helen. We were
kind of a package deal.
Another change Larrys seen is the decline of family farms.
I can remember before we had the big feed trucks, when
15-20 farmers would be lined up on Osborne Street all the
way to First, waiting to get their grain ground in their pickup
trucks, said Larry. Now I can just about count on one hand
how many active and producing farms there are in the area.
One thing Larry and Helen dont plan on changing is their
address. With most of their siblings and children in the area,
and grandkids moving back, the Simes say this in where
theyll stay.
This community is a great place to live, said Larry. Cornell people are so thoughtful, especially when anything bad
happens.
Helen agrees. Whenever something happens, everybody
is there to help out.
Larry says he will miss working with people and the common place everyday happenings.
The co-op was a wonderful place to work, and I like to
think I had a good rapport with my co-workers, said Larry.
To me, it was fun going to work, I really enjoyed my job.

Joint Finance Committee meets to discuss budget


By Brian Wilson
News Editor The Star News
The process to craft Wisconsins biennial budget has three
basic steps the governors budget proposal, a public hearing
process where citizens can weigh in on the budget process, and
when legislators take what they have heard at the hearings and
craft a budget bill.
Every budget I have been part of has had changes as a result
of testimony at the hearings, said Rep. John Nygren, co-chairman of the Joint Finance Committee, prior to the start of a
hearing held at the UW-Barron Campus March 23.
He says at this point, the budget proposal is the governors
budget, and by the time the legislature is finished, it will be the
legislatures budget; the two are seldom the same.
The March 23 daylong hearing was just one of four hearings
held by the full joint finance committee, the primary legislative
budget crafters.
The budget process has timelines, with statutory requirements to have a budget in place by the start of the July 1 fiscal
year. One deadline comes in late April, when revenue projections are released for the next year.
If, as expected, those revenue projections show an increase,
state lawmakers will have more money to put into the budget.
Nygren, speaking on his own, but reflecting the past goals of
the Assembly Republicans, said K-12 education is the primary
area they would seek to increase funding if more money was
available.
I would prioritize K-12 first, that has been the Assembly
Republicans position in the past, he said.
Long term care
Under Gov. Scott Walkers budget proposal, the current system of providing long-term care options would be dismantled,
including the elimination of the Aging and Disabilities Resource Centers, Family Care and the Include, Respect, I SelfDirect (IRIS) Program, a Medicaid Home and
Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver for self-directed
long-term supports.
A majority of the testimony at the hearing centered around
the governors proposal to end these programs, and instead turn
their management over to a private, for-profit insurance company who would be answerable to the state insurance commissioner and not to the Department of Health Services, which
currently regulates these services.
The biggest concern for the many people testifying was that
while it took more than 20 years for IRIS and the other programs to develop through a slow process involving the stakeholders and trial counties, Walkers proposal calls for a
completely new system with no stake-holder input to be in
place in two years.
John Harden, a Barron County board member, generated
cheers and hearty applause from the auditorium, and a rebuke
from Joint Finance Committee members, for stating: This is
one of the stupidest ideas I have ever heard in my life What
this proposal is, is moronic.
Harden said the program took 20 years to develop and to replace it in two years was not practical.
Who will profit from these changes the for-profit insurance companies? asked the mother of an autistic 19-year-old.
She said with families having the ability to spend a budgeted
amount for their care needs, means that many do not spend the
amount allocated, presenting a significant savings in state
Medicaid costs.
These need to be brought out of budget and taken into committee, said Pamela Goodman, director of Indianhead Community Action Agency, urging the policy change to be brought
forward in its own legislation.
Those who are going to suffer are those who are most vulnerable, said Keith Anderson of the Barron County Board of
Aging.
The only speakers giving testimony in support of the proposed change were from UnitedHealthcare, a multi-state managed care provider whose representatives continually referred
to the changes as modernizing Wisconsins system.
Criticism was drawn from family members of those enrolled
in the long term care programs, who were concerned about
their loved ones becoming numbers. Representatives from
other health management companies also called for the status
quo to remain, rather than switch to a statewide system.

Joint Finance Committee

Prior to the start of the hearing, the Democrats on the Joint


Finance Committee told media representatives that they will
continue to call on all proposed changes in long-term care, and
SeniorCare prescription drug programs, to be removed from
the budget.
Over the last week I have heard from hundreds of families
that count on IRIS and FamilyCare for the support they need
to be healthy and successful, said Rep. Gordon Hintz. We
are being asked to adopt a plan that has no details other than
dismantling our existing long-term care systemThis change
has no business in the budget, and needs to be removed immediately to avoid any further harm and uncertainty.
Sen. Jon Erpenbach said there is fiscal benefit with the
change, and said it does not belong in the budget. He said it is
causing people unnecessary worry and concern.
For his part, Nygren in the Republican majority, was also
hesitant about making the changes proposed by Walker. He
said the concern would be to look at the long term sustainability of the program with the potential for reforms, rather than
just scrapping it.
Either we need to get more answers or we need to get more
time in studying it, he said.
Education
The current budget calls for $150 per pupil cuts in state aid,
which a number of school administrators at the hearing raised
concerns about.
Steve Kolden, district administrator of the Colby School
District, said his district has had to make major cuts in recent
years, and projected even larger cuts if the budget is passed as
proposed.
Realistically, the only two options for us are to try to deficit
spend next year, and then attempt to pass a referendum for
2016-2017, he said, stating that the impact to Colby district
would be in excess of $144,000. Our cost continues to rise
and our revenues continue to decrease.
Kolden echoed numerous administrators, raising concerns
about the expansion of the private school voucher program and
the resulting reduction in public school aids used to pay for it.
Public education is on the ropes, said David Anderson, administrator of the Chequamegon School District.
One of his board members, David Schmitt, raised concern
of the need for additional sparsity aid for districts with low student population density. He said this type of aid would help
defray some of the transportation costs of busing students.
Jerry Walters, administrator of CESA 11, spoke in opposition
of a budget proposal, which would make CESA membership
optional for school districts. He highlighted the numerous ben-

efits CESA provides its members, and the governance of the


CESAs by the member school districts.
The proposal says the non-member districts would contract
with the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) for these services. Walters questioned if the DPI had the staff or resources
to take over the role the CESAs provide to member schools.
Impact to local school districts was also part of the education-related testimony presented at the hearing, including the
proposed $300 million cuts to the UW System.
Bruce Barker, president of CVTC, raised concerns about the
budget cuts creating a bottleneck for economic growth in the
region. He said there is a great need for trained workers, with
many having job offers before graduation, and budget freezes
and cuts would prevent these programs to grow to allow the
needed training.
UW colleges are a taxpayer factory, said Grant Pierce, a
student at UW-Marshfield Wood County. UW colleges are
a key component of the UW-System.
Transportation
Road builders to town and county officials addressed the
need for stable, long-term transportation funding.
Andy Lisak, Douglas County administrator, urged committee members to create the option for local counties to implement a half percent sales tax for highway use.
County highways are the backbone of the transportation
network, he said, noting that their county has many more projects than what can be funded without bonding.
Others cautioned that current gasoline tax revenues could be
expected to decline in the future, and alternatives such as
higher registration fees would be needed to cover the cost of
road projects.
The courts
Mary Burzynski, of the Wisconsin Court Reporters Association, urged the committee to restore the current language and
keep court reporters under the same pool of aid that pays for
judges, rather than general state aids for courts. She said the
move would negatively impact the courts, counties and those
using the courts. Keep current law.
She says the current proposal would eliminate funding for
court reporters, who are state employees, as of the end of the
fiscal year, and would have the impact of laying off all court
reporters, thereby bringing the legal system to a halt.
Burzynski says she assumed this was not the governors intent, and was an error that will be corrected.

More than 250 people registered to give testimonies at the


March 23 hearing. In addition to the verbal testimony, there
were also a number of people who gave written testimony stating their positions.
It will now be up to members of the Joint Finance Committee to take the testimony from this, and the other hearings, and
use that input to negotiate changes to the governors proposed
budget.

Lake Holcombe Town Board


voted to continue the garbage contract after a presentation
and contract renewal request came from Kurt Redfern, with
Express Disposal.
As part of the contract renewal, because the original contract did not expire until August, the Town of Lake Holcombe receives an additional eight months with no price
increase.
As far as Im concerned and I know the board can
speak too that our residents are very satisfied with our program with Express, said Bayerl.
Redfern says with the free curbside recycling offered to
residents who utilize Express Disposal, collection numbers
and weights have gone up.
There are quite a few people Ive talked to who have recycled because they got the bins there and they didnt recycle before, said Beau Bowlin, town resident.
On other agenda, board members voted to adopt a resolution to oppose county-wide assessing. The resolution comes
after a proposed change in Gov. Scott Walkers budget
would require smaller municipalities to have assessment
done by the county.
You will hear things in the paper, or read things, and hear
other people say this is going to be cheaper, said Bayerl.
But it is not going to be cheaper, I guarantee you that. I
dont think its a good thing.
The town has also been approached by Chippewa County
to hold a clean-up project for recycling along private roadside property, with an offer of $500 to offset the cost. The
clean-up would involve the disposal of appliances, tires,
electronics and mattresses, and would require documentation. If the township agrees to the clean-up, they must submit
a letter of intent before April 17.
With the next meeting set for April 9, Bayerl tabled the
issue until then, and advised members to think the matter
over.

Main Street Fire - Continued from Front


One of the renters said she was at home when the fire
broke out and was told to evacuate the building. She said
she was allowed to go in later that night and pick up some
personal belongings.
The electricity was shut off to the homes affected, and
electricians are planned to inspect the buildings, and verify
wiring was not damaged. Cadott and Boyd Fire Departments
responded, with a ladder truck and manpower requested
from the Chippewa Falls Fire Department.
Sommerfeld said they were fortunate they had a good stop
on the fire, and thermal imaging helped firefighters find the
fire in the walls and the attic in a timely manner. He says
one of the ceilings also had metal pan tiles, which bought
crews a little time.
It could have been a much more severe fire than what it
was,said Sommerfeld.

Cornell City Council

Cornell may have empty streets come November

Continued from Front

Initial Appearance
a Controlled Substance.
According to the Chippewa County Sheriffs Department,
Kohl rear-ended a car driven by David Larson, 18, of Cornell,
in March 2014. Larson was stopped to make a left turn off
Highway 27 onto County W. The collision caused the car to
veer into the path of a pickup truck driven by Ronnie Larson,
67, of Holcombe.
Two passengers in D. Larsons vehicle, Myah Larson, 16,
and Brianna Strzok, 15, were severely injured in the crash,
while the other passengers had no major injuries, according
to reports.
About two weeks before his initial appearance, Kohl sent
in the form for an attorney, but it wasnt filled out up to standards. Chippewa County Judge Roderick Cameron said because the court received the form the day of the initial
appearance, they would be unable to provide an attorney that
afternoon.
Cameron reconvened the initial appearance for Kohl to
Tuesday, May 5, at 1:30 p.m. He also asked what the bond
recommendation was from Chippewa County District Attorney Lawrence J. Broeren.
We ask for a signature bond, your honor, Broeren said,
with the condition of no possession of illegal drugs, drug
paraphernalia, or prescriptions not prescribed.
Cameron ordered a $500 signature bond with the conditions recommended, along with no possession or consumption of alcohol. While the case is pending, Kohl is also not
allowed at businesses whose primary purpose is to sell alcohol.
Basically, I want you to be sober, Cameron said. It
means you are much less likely to get into trouble.
Kohl signed the signature bond and was ordered to pay for
the Chippewa County attorney cost once appointed.

Also in the works for the city, is a special garbage day


Thursday, April 23, which provides residents an opportunity
to dispose of materials not covered by weekly garbage collection. Those residing in the city limits may set out 10
garbage bags, or the equivalent of up to two yards at the curbside.
People will drive around and pick up stuff, said Talbot.
In actuality, it does help the city, because we pay a price per
ton what they pick up, so if someone comes along and picks
it up, the city is not having to pay that tonnage price.
In conjunction with extra pick up, an appliance and electronic drop-off will be stationed at the Cornell City Shop Saturday, April 25, from 8-10 a.m.
As a notice to the area, Dave DeJongh, city administrator,
announced the city has hired another full-time police officer.
Joining the Cornell Police Department is Luke Abbate, of
Menomonie, who has already begun his training in city procedures.
The next council meeting will be Tuesday, April 21, at 7
p.m., to swear in new and/or re-elected council members, and
to assign committee positions.

Remember to call 811 before digging


Xcel Energy reminds customers that April
is National Safe Digging Month, and that
customers need to call 811 before beginning
any digging project, to have underground
utility lines marked. Every six minutes, an
underground utility line is damaged somewhere in the country during a digging project, according to a report by the Common
Ground Alliance.
Wisconsin homeowners and contractors
who call 811 are connected to Diggers Hotline, the local center that notifies the appropriate utility companies of the callers intent
to dig. For free, professional locators are sent
to the digging site to mark the approximate
locations of underground lines with flags,
spray paint or both.
Damaging or striking a single line can create a dangerous situation, cause injury, add
repair costs and fines, and create outages.

Every digging project, including installing a


mailbox, building a deck, planting a tree and
laying a patio, no matter how large or small,
warrants a call to 811 at least three business
days in advance.
State law requires property owners have
underground lines located prior to any digging, including any lines previously located.
It is also important to use only non-mechanized equipment when digging
within 18 inches of the locate marks.
To locate lines not owned
by a utility, such as a line
installed by a homeowner to heat a pool or
light a garage, customers
need to make arrangements with a private
locate company.

City streets may be empty come November, after the Cornell City Council followed a recommendation from the Public Works Committee, and amended the winter parking
ordinance at their regular meeting April 2. No parking is allowed overnight on city streets from Nov. 1 through April 1,
with discretion in regard to varying weather.
The ordinance previously authorized the winter hours to
begin Dec. 1.
This comes because of the amounts of snow weve had
this last fall, and the issues with trying to plow around people
in the same spots, said Mayor Judy Talbot.
On other agenda, Talbot informed residents they can ask
questions about their assessments at a special public hearing,
tentatively set for Wednesday, May 13, with Open Book from
2-4 p.m., and the Board of Review from 4-6 p.m.
You get some good stories, its kind of fun, said Talbot.
Its like a little legal courtroom type of thing; they have to
be sworn in, you have to tape it all, they have to actually submit written reasons why its too high or too low to the city
office within a timely manner before the hearing.

Spring Madness food drive brings in over 1,000 items


The Lake Holcombe FFA held their Spring Madness food
drive week March 23-27, to have food in the Lake Holcombe
food pantry for Easter. The elementary and Jr. high classes
were challenged to bring in food items.
In the elementary competition, the 4K brought in 216
items, winning an ice cream party. The Jr. high class that
brought in the most food was sixth grade, and they won a
pizza party.
This year, the Sr. high was also given an opportunity to
show support for people in the community. Each class, ninth12th grade, raised $50, which was matched by the Lake Hol-

combe FFA.
The FFA then used this money to purchase food items at
the Feed My People Food Bank in Eau Claire Thursday night,
which was then displayed in the commons Friday.
Grand totals for the week were 820 items from the elementary, and 187 in the middle school, for a total of 1,007 items,
in addition to the $400 worth of food items from Feed My
People Food Bank.
Along with the Spring Madness food drive, there were also
dress up days Monday, PJ Day; Tuesday, Tacky Tourist
Day; Wednesday, Future Day; Thursday, American Day; Friday, Flotation Device Day.
The week finished with games Friday afternoon, which included competitions between classes in the Jr. high and Sr.
high in dodgeball, volleyball, human foosball and tug-of-war.
A Sr. high lock-in Friday night concluded the week.

The Spring Madness food drive week, hosted by the


Lake Holcombe FFA, ended with a Friday afternoon
of competition followed with a Sr. high lock-in. Each
class competed against each other in dodgeball,
volleyball, human foosball and tug-of-war.

Motorists asked to keep


eye out for road crews
From the WisDOT
Motorists are asked to keep an eye out for Wisconsin
Adopt-a-Highway volunteers as they pick up a winters worth
of trash along state highways. Wisconsin is home to nearly
3,000 groups who are asked to clean-up their assigned twomile state highway segment at least three times per year.
Last year, Wisconsin Adopt-a-Highway workers picked up
an estimated 190 tons of trash and recyclables along state
roadways.
We ask that motorists be watchful for all roadside workers, including Wisconsins Adopt-a-Highway volunteers
whose efforts save taxpayer dollars, and make our state an
attractive place to live or visit, said Rose Phetteplace, director of the WisDOT Bureau of Highway Maintenance.
Of the 11,800 miles of state highway in Wisconsin, about
8,170 miles, or about 70 percent, are adopted. The WisDOT
furnishes safety vests and highway worker signs, a safety
training video, trash bags, and two permanent signs identifying the group.
Each group must provide one adult supervisor for every
five or six volunteers. Volunteers must be at least 11 years
old, or in sixth grade, to work along two-lane highways, and
at least 16 years old to work along multi-lane highways.
Groups interested in adopting a state highway segment can
fill out an application on the WisDOTs website.

Bonnie Selmer, of Cornell, fills out a membership


form to join the Cornell Lions Club, and is sponsored by her husband, Dave Barry. During the
clubs membership drive night, guests were treated
to pizza from Gordys Market, and coffee. The Lions
Club, who currently has 25 members, saw seven
new Cornell residents sign up during the event, and
have interest from two more.

First game jitters for Cadott baseball


By Kayla Peche
The Cadott Hornets Baseball team had a rough first game
of the 2015 season against Chetek-Weyerhaeuser March 31.
It was not good, said Brett McChesney, Cadott senior
player. You could for sure tell it was our first game.
The Hornets had three hits from McChesney and juniors
Austin Goettl and Casey Schara, followed with an RBI from
senior Ezra Michael.
Junior Jake Holum, senior Quinn Sikora and McChesney
also added three walks to put Cadott on the bases.

Pitching the most innings, Schara gained one strikeout and


1.67 WHIP (walks plus hits per innings pitched, or number
of base runners a pitcher allows per inning) against the Bulldogs.
Our pitchers did pretty well, said Peter Devine, Cadott
head coach. Most of the runs given up were in one bad inning that came from some defensive errors.
Schara had the lowest WHIP, with Goettl and Michael having four and nine. Goettl pitched two innings with three
strikeouts, and Michael pitched part of an inning with one
strikeout.
Cadott managed to get two runs, but it was not enough to
defeat Chetek-Weyerhaeuser, losing 10-2.
Devine says it was the first game so he expects improvement from the experience.
I told the boys that it was OK to make the mistakes, said
Devine, but make them once and learn from them so that it
doesnt happen next time.
McChesney says hopefully all the first game nerves are out
of the teams system now. The Hornets play at home April
10, against Bruce for their next game.

Second inning slump in Hornets first game


By Kayla Peche
With five runs in the second, followed by two in the third,
it was hard for the Cadott Hornets Softball team to catch up
to the Gilman Pirates April 2.
Overall, Pete Schroeder, Cadott assistant coach, says the
girls played pretty well considering the windy conditions and
amount of youth on the team.
Six of the nine starters were either in new positions or
starting in their first varsity game, Schroeder said.
Senior Devin Kulow had two hits for the game, and sophomore Bobbi Burgess ran in the lone run for the Hornets in

the final inning.


Brittany Erickson, sophomore, pitched most of the innings
for Cadott, and had four strikeouts against Gilman, who still
earned four runs in the final inning, taking the win 11-1.
Schroeder says the Hornets are looking to improve on their
hitting and overall performance for the next games.
Despite making good contact, our batting was below the
ability weve demonstrated in practice, he said. Some of
this could be attributed to opening day jitters, a pretty good
opposing pitcher and the windy conditions.
Cadott will host Bruce April 10, for their next game.

Bobcat hunt produces 274 animals in fifth year


Preliminary harvest data from Wisconsins 2014-15 bobcat
season has shown hunters and trappers harvested 274 bobcats. Preliminary data combines state and tribal harvest information, and final harvest information should be available
by mid-June.
This marks the fifth year of expanded bobcat harvest, and
includes results from the newly opened southern bobcat harvest zone.
Wisconsins bobcat population is doing well and continues to expand into central and southwest Wisconsin, said
John Olson, WisDNR furbearer ecologist. 2014 is also notable for efforts to improve population estimate procedures.
This is a high priority for the department and key conservation partner groups.
The departments bobcat population estimate research is

DNR Outdoor Report


Snow has melted, leaving muddy trails and drying conditions ideal for wild fires. Over the last week, 64 wildfires
burned 144 acres in DNR protection areas. Make sure camp
fires are completely out before leaving the site.
Ice is almost gone from most lakes in southern Wisconsin.
While sections are still found on many area lakes in the north,
with warmer weather, ice has slimmed and softened significantly, while open water spots expand in size.
In the northern counties, many anglers have stepped off
the ice and wait for warmer weather to go along with the
open-water season. Anglers are not out in especially high
numbers but those out have seen mixed to fair results, with
marginal luck on walleye, and more consistent success with
brown trout.
The outlook for youth turkey hunters and bird watchers
looks promising with drying open prairie and wood-fringe
habitat. In many areas, toms are already strutting and gobbling. Woodcocks are singing their spring breeding calls,
known as peenting.
Theyre joined by red-winged blackbirds, cardinals and

chickadees, as well as many others species that have flocked


in the past weeks.
Trumpeter swans have been spotted in locations around the
state, staking claim to nesting areas.
Bald eagles have been seen hunting over lakes, while sandhill cranes are settling into their wetlands of choice.
Birds arent the only ones on the move, as deer have also
been spotted exploring fields, shaking off the long winter
transition.
While theres only the barest hint of pasque flowers poking
through the turf in southern Wisconsin, it wont be long before the hills are alive with vibrant color.
Twenty-six elk from Kentucky have reached their new
home near Black River Falls, in the first year of elk reintroduction efforts.

An Outdoorsmans Journal By Mark Walters


Mobile Fishing Guide
Hello friends,
This weeks column is about fishing for walleye with a
guide, and thinking outside the box for a way to be a fishing
guide to keep the cash flowing.
I met Justin Kohn, who lives near Princeton and owns
and operates All Seasons Adventures (justinkohn.com), last
April while I was on a fishing trip on Lake Puckaway.
Justin, who is 33 years old, pays his bills by taking people
hunting and fishing.
Last week I saw a post that Justin had put on Lake Links,
a popular fishing forum, about a day trip he made to
Nekoosa, fishing for walleye on the Wisconsin River. I gave
Justin a call and was invited to fish with him and a client,
Tom McHugh, on the Fox River at DePere.
Tuesday, March 31 High 60, Low 26
How do you take people fishing when the ice is almost
out on your local lakes or the fishing season is closed? In
Wisconsin, many of our lakes and rivers are open for fishing
year round and, if
you are a guide
and you have
the same bills
as everyone else,
you drive to
places like Nekoosa, La Crosse,
the Wolf, the Fox
or many other
choices.
This year it does
not matter where
or what you are
fishing in the
Badger State, we
have a water flow
issue. In other
words, because
of minimal flow
from snow melt
and next to no
spring
rains,
and
Tom McHugh caught this walleye walleye,
while fishing on the Fox River at lets say Lake
DePere.
Michigan or Superior rainbow trout, are not running up stream in the numbers like they usually do to spawn.
Current and water temperature triggers both of these
species to spawn, and low current and frequent cold spells
are making most bites infrequent and short lived.
So I drive to Voyageur Park in DePere. I leave my house
at 4:30 a.m., and meet Justin and Tom at the landing. These
guys had fished the day before with a college buddy of

Page

Toms, and then Justin and Tom got a room at a local motel
so they could fish today and not have to do the 90-minute
drive to the Princeton/Green Lake area.
Maybe you can start to see what I am getting at.
The Fox River at DePere is known for incredible walleye
fishing during the spring run. Only one walleye can be kept
and it has to be 28 inches. Most of these fish are coming
from Green Bay, and the dam at DePere prevents them from
swimming any further up river.
Tom is 30, went to college in Minnesota, owns an IT
company in Chicago and has a lake home on Green Lake.
Tom is a client of Justins, and wanted to have a getaway
where he could also fish with his past roommate and fellow
member on his football team, Aaron Fanta.
Yesterday, Tom caught a 26-inch walleye. These guys
fished until almost dark, there was another cold spell, which
made for a very tough bite, and the water flow was minimal.
Today, the three of us vertical jig quarter ounce jigs tipped
with either plastic or minnows, and Justin has caught five
walleye before Tom or I had a bite.
The walleye are running between 10 and 18 inches, and
very few people are catching fish. When they do, we only
saw one that would make it past 25 inches.
Justin has a theory that makes sense if there is not
enough water flow in the Green Bay area, many of the big
females that generally spawn near this dam, will drop their
eggs on reefs and rocky shorelines on Green Bay.
When it comes to guiding for a living, it really is a business. You have to invest, and know what to buy and how to
use it. Justins 20-foot Lund, powered by a 200 horsepower
Mercury Verado, is a $50,000 dollar package. The electronics (sonar/imaging/mapping) come in at another $8,000,
and then there are the rods and tackle required to catch fish.
A guide really has to understand how to catch fish, market
his business and, perhaps most importantly, hold a conversation with what is often a total stranger in a 20-foot boat.
When it comes to catching fish, Justin won the 2012 Mercury Nationals (300 boat tournament on Winnebago) in
2012, and he simply knows what the heck he is doing.
This kid grew up on Puckaway at his family farm and he
has guiding figured out.

Drive Like a Girl


The day of coyote hunting was growing longer and I
had gotten bored sitting in the truck alone. I pulled the
seat ahead, closed the door and adjusted the steering
wheel.
I shifted the truck into gear and slowly made my way
down the narrow path covered in snow. Just a few hundred yards ahead deep ruts loomed between me and my
exit.
Having bounced through them on more than one occasion that day, I knew I needed to keep it to the right and
keep my foot on the gas, or Id still be stuck down Dump
Road in the pickers. As I neared the growing holes, I took
a deep breath and gunned it.
Crash! Boom! Bash! Bang!
I made it to the other side with only a minor concussion
and the assumption Id ripped everything out from under
the truck. I put the truck into park, rolled down the window (the latch only works from the outside) and hopped
out.
With absolutely no clue what I was looking for but hoping if I saw it I would know, I looked under the truck.
Nothing was out of place, that I could tell, there werent
any large pieces lying behind me and there didnt seem
to be any fluid puddling in the snow.
Well dang Im good, I thought to myself.
I hopped back in the truck, threw er in drive and started
down the road. In a matter of seconds, the truck was back
in park and I (hand) cranked the window back up. Brr.
Within a minute I was on my way again and headed
south, where the rest of the gang was. I waved at the
Amish boys on my way past, amused at their puzzled
looks as to why we came in with three, but left with one.
My husband, Scott, and our friend,Terry, were still in the
woods and the chase was getting hot.
Id heard on the radio that Scott had seen the coyote
twice now, but each time it was too far away to get a shot.
The dogs were still hot on its tail and where I had been,
was nowhere near where they were.
The truck made its way down the familiar path and finally caught up with what I thought was a truck from our
hunting crew. I pulled up, rolled down the window,
opened the door and got out.
Hey, I said to the guy in the truck. Do you know
where Scott is?
He said something about Scott was still in the woods,
but Terry had made it to the road and was riding with
someone else. I think hes just up the road here.
I got back in the truck, rolled up the window and put
the mostly-white Chevy in drive. A few moments later, I
caught up to another truck and followed the same procedure, with the same response.
If I dont find someone I know shortly Im going to freak
out, I thought as my pregnant hormones kicked into overdrive

Preschool screening set


for April 24 in Holcombe
Preschool screening for three- and four-year-olds is scheduled for Friday, April 24.
We do a 4K screening to get the children registered for
school, and get all enrollment papers filled out, said Joy Webster, 4K and early childhood instructor at Lake Holcombe. It
also gives the teacher a chance to meet the child and talk with
the parents individually, and answer any questions they may
have.
Packets for these ages have been mailed to Lake Holcombe
School District residents, and parents should bring these papers when they go to the school for screening. They will also
be given the expectations their child
will have in 4K.
Any one who resides in the Lake
Holcombe School District who has
not received the mailing, or any
one who would like to consider sending their preschool child to the
Lake Holcombe School
District, is asked to call
Joy Webster at 715595-4241, ext. 279; or
Karla Velie, ext. 221.

The Lake Holcombe After School program held a popcorn math activity April 1, just before the start of
spring break. Students tested popcorn, including plain, buttered, cheese and chocolate-caramel, then
voted on which was their favorite and least favorite. Plain and cheese came out on top, with chocolatecaramel getting the least votes. The group also completed math activities, like measuring kernels, guessing how many popped kernels could fit into a jar then counting them, and naming foods that were the
same size or smaller as popcorn in various stages.

Elementary students in one of the Lake Holcombe After School classes made
paper flowers (shown in center) in honor of spring. While some students used
their creativity to make green, orange and purple flowers, others created
springtime insects like butterflies and bumble bees. No vases were readily
available, so classroom items like paper towel rolls were utilized to display the
bouquets.

Third-graders at Cadott Elementary have been researching american heroes


from the past. Kathryn Hanson, third grade instructor, says students have
learned how to effectively research information and organize facts on their
hero. Each student created a timeline, either online or a 3-D model, displaying
their heros life. Students have put an ample amount of work into their timelines and are very proud of what they have learned and created, Hanson said.
Check them out. A few of the timelines can be seen in the hallway of the elementary school.

Elementary
Class of the
Week:
Angela Kents
Second Grade

Cadotts Angela Kent says her second-graders have learned a lot this year, and that she is proud of their
inquiry projects, inviting parents to view them. Kent says the students next project is researching animals
and their babies. We just finished our solids and liquids unit in science, she said. Now we are excited
to start the next unit on plants. The unit includes planting flowers and vegetables, and investigating and
comparing how they grow. She says they also started a fraction unit, and she cant wait to see how
many different ways they can divide things into halves, thirds and fourths. The class also had a student
teacher, Ms. Jobe.

Lake Holcombe Elementary Spring Plays

The Lake Holcombe Elementary first grade performed Peter Rabbit at their
spring play March 30. Melissa Wojcik, music teacher, read the play and the
children acted out the scenes, including where Peter Rabbit (Drayke Howard)
outsmarted Mr. McGregor (Alex Dixon). Peters siblings and mother were also
in the play, with Tommy Kane, Cadence Baker, Emma Wright and Savannah
Burlingame playing Lopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Mother Rabbit.

Following the Lake Holcombe first-graders performance March 30, Melissa Wojcik, music teacher, read Bambi for the second-graders to act out their scenes.
At the opening of the play, Bambi (Owen Meddaugh) lays by his mother (Elaina
Wilson), while the rest of the forest animals watch in amazement. In the infamous flower scene, Flower (Chloe Lee) earns her name after Bambi mistakes
her for what she tells him is a flower.

The third-graders were the final performance of the March 30 elementary


spring plays in Lake Holcombe, and each of the students recited their own
lines for the re-creation of Snow White. All seven dwarves were in the play, including Sleepy (Quinn Porter) and Grumpy (Blake Hilger). Even the trees had
a part, as every character wound their way through the forest, held strong by
the mighty (Branden Moore) center tree.

Cadott kindergarten teachers and a parent help George Hanlon dance and sing

Parent University is a hoot with workshops


By Monique Westaby
A free community event brought in over 70 people (and a
few animals) to the Lake Holcombe School to hear about parenting, cup stacking and wildlife. The 21st Century Community Learning Centers, and Lake Holcombe Title One
Program and School, came together to host Parent University
March 24, for parents, their children and community members.
The event was very successful, said Andrea Smith, programs coordinator. Any time we are able to get parents into
the schools and connect them with information and resources
that not only help them help their kids, but educate them on
other topics that enhance everyday lives, its a win-win situation.
Parents had the choice of attending two of four workshops
for the evening, including a Love and Logic sneak preview,
presented by Jenny Blaisdell; Math Fact Fluency, presented
by Mary Ann Modrak; Response to Intervention (RTI), presented by Kathy Ruhde, Cindy Miller and Misti Trowbridge;
and Put it in Writing, presented by Dezeray Matott.
Love and Logic introduced parents to logical consequences to everyday situations when raising children. The
preview was a glimpse into Community Educations sixweek series held in Cornell, which runs April 8-May 13. For
more information on this class, or to participate, contact
Blaisdell at 715-861-8011.
Modrak, former math teacher in Cornell and current math
coach for CESA 10, provided families with new math strategies for parents in her workshop. She is an energetic instructor and has long been a big advocate of helping parents help
their kids with math, said Smith.
The last two classes, RTI and Put it in Writing, gave attendees a look into the new RTI programs implemented in all
schools across the state, and ideas about advance directives,
or living wills.
Everyone age 18 plus should have this important docu-

Cup stacker Jesse Horn shows kids at Parent University March 24, how fast he can stack and unstack cups. Horn is ranked 63rd in the world for the
cycle stack, shown, and is ranked first in the state
for the cycle, 3-6-3 and 3-3-3 stacks.

To the delight of the children, DNR wildlife biologist


Chris Cold brought out this very verbal greathorned owl during Parent University March 24.
Aside from the owl, he also had a red-tailed hawk
and a fox snake.

ment in place so their loved ones know their wishes in the
event they cannot communicate with them, says Smith.
While parents switched places with the kids for the
evening, sitting in their classrooms, the students were divided
into two groups to watch champion cup stacker Jesse Horn,
and DNR wildlife biologist Chris Cold.
In Horns presentation, he explained how his red plastic
cups are not just any ordinary cup, but rather certified World
Sport Stacking Association cups. To qualify each stack, the
cups must remain on the mat, if they are not, the stack is disqualified.
Eighteen-year-old Horn is ranked first in the state for all
three stacking competitions, ranked 35th in the world for the
3-3-3 stack, 68th in the 3-6-3 stack, and 81st in the cycle
stack. For the 3-3-3 stack, he must stack three stacks of three
cups, and unstack them as fast as he can. His record time is
1.619 seconds, just shy of the 1.48 world record.
It isnt just about stacking, said Horns aunt. Its a lot
of left and right brain use.
Horn, who was diagnosed with autism, stacks with kids
online from all over the world, including Malaysia, Germany
and Canada, and competes in sanctioned tournaments.
He can complete his cycle stack in 5.141 seconds, and the
world record for cycle stacking is 5 seconds. So Im pretty
close to beating that, he told the students.
While that group watched Horn, the other group watched
a presentation from Cold, who works with the Ladysmith
DNR. But it was hard for the young group to sit still, while
listening to an owl hoot from just behind the presenter.
After a slideshow on camouflaging and mimicry, like
frogs, lizards and insects looking like leaves, twigs and bird
droppings, Cold gave the kids what they were so eager to see,
a look at a real fox snake, red-tailed hawk and great-horned
owl.
There are no pine snakes in Wisconsin, said Cold, who
houses birds, turtles and snakes for educational purposes.
Only fox snakes. Pine snakes live near the Appalachian
Mountains; but they look similar.
The great-horned owl drew the most oohs and aahs, and
Cold explained how their eyes are predator eyes, located on
the front of their heads, like humans. He encouraged the kids
to get out in nature and see how everything is connected, and
needs each other to survive.
Get out and explore, said Cold, whos been a falconer
since about age 16, and has a 23-year-old red-tailed hawk at
home he uses for hunting rabbits. You will never say it was
a bad decision to discover nature.
In addition to the presentations, an ice cream party was
awarded to the class with the most students attending in
Lake Holcombe, Angie Vachos fourth-grade and Joy Websters 4K tied, while in Cornell, the second grade class won.
Door prizes were also given to four students, who took
home a pail of goodies like bubbles, a book and candy. Two
parents also won $10 Gordys Market gift cards, compliments
of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers.
Based on parent evaluations that were returned at the conclusion of the event, said Smith, 98 percent said they would
like to have an event like this offered every year.

Cornell Area Care Center Easter Egg Hunt


Five-year-old Addyson Albers holds her
winning colored picture from the annual
Cornell Area Care
Center Easter Egg
Hunt March 28. Albers won a $25 gift
card to Walmart, and
had her artwork chosen by the centers
staff and residents.
(Submitted Photo)

The Cornell Area Care Center (CACC) held their annual


Easter Egg Hunt March 28, at the centers facility inCornell. Over 100 people were served at the pancake breakfast, and at least 150 kids, with parents, participated in
the day. Katie Matott, referral manager at the CACC, says
this is more people than they have ever had. The event
also included a duck pond, bowling, ring toss and bounce
the ball into a bucket game, as well as an inflatable
bouncy house outside. The day concluded with the anticipated egg hunt, with prizes such as candy and gift certificates from area businesses, and a raffle for items like
sleeping bags, bubble machines, tents and stuffed animals. Something for every age, said Matott.

Clockwise, from top middle, a bouncy house participant takes one last slide before heading to the
egg hunt; the youngest group of children rushes to get as many eggs as they can at the start of the
Care Centers annual Easter fun day; Skylar Webster, 2, of Gilman, checks out what her eggs held
during the raffle drawings; the Easter bunny spent her day posing with children, like Ella Gruhlke,
2, of Eau Claire. This was Ellas first time participating in an egg hunt. In the middle, a determined
youngster fills his bag with eggs. Bottom left, Lucy and Andy Schottelkorb moved to Cornell last
summer, and spent their first Easter at the care centers egg hunt. Their children, Eliana, 5, and
Liam, 2, got quite the haul, bringing home candy and prizes. Eliana said she had fun playing games
before the hunt, especially the duck pond.

Lee played high school and college ball, as well as 35 years of mens
fastpitch softball. He says he began his coaching career at Lake Holcombe because he loves the game; he will be assisted by Marty Ash
this season.
I want to pass on my knowledge of the game to the younger generation, Lee said, adding that seeing the kids improve as the season progresses is one of his favorite parts of coaching. I love their excitement
of the game.
Less walks and less errors are things the team plans to work on from
last year, and Lee says hed also like to have a better defensive attack.
Bruce is the team beat, and to do that Lee has several pitchers available
for the 2015 season Stender, Seyler and Strzok, and sophomores Jeremiah Reedy, Tanner Clark and Noah Nohr. Stender will also play first
base, along with sophomore Mitchell Swanson.
Seyler will man third base, Stephens and Spletter, and sophomore Peyton Bowe, are scheduled for second base. Many of the remaining players
will alternate between outfield and infield, with Reedy also planned for
the shortstop position. Sophomore Matt Kostka will play this years
catchers position.
Aside from winning, Lee says his goals for the year are a season-long
endeavour. I want the players, as well as the whole team, to improve as
the season goes.

Cornell-Lake Holcombe Softball

Sending traditions and skills to younger teammates


By Monique Westaby
With only two seniors graduating from the Cornell-Lake Holcombe
Softball team last year, head coach Chad Spegal says the Knights returning players will be their strengths this season.
Six seniors, specifically Allison Spegal (pitcher), Makenzie Ewings
(shortstop/pitcher), Kammey Kendall (catcher), Sam Sippy (third base)
and Katelyn Omtvedt (shortstop/third base) will help take the teams into
playoffs this year, says Spegal. McKenzie Hall, the remaining senior, will
play outfield.
A. Spegal is a three time All-Conference earner, Ewings is a two time
All-Conference earner and leading hitter, and Kendall earned All-Conference once in her ball career.
The team may still be learning and having to work through injuries, but
Spegal says theyre looking to go further in playoffs this year.
Were looking to return as conference champions, said Spegal of the
Knights, a team that finished second last year with an 11-6 record.
Spegal is in his second year coaching the team, but coached youth and
travel ball for nine years before that. He says he loves the game, and decided to coach to teach an excellent bunch of girls.
Teaching this group how to win and to become great teammates, said
Spegal about his favorite part of coaching. The group of seniors I have
coached since third grade.
Along with those seniors, juniors Bailey Viegut, Chase Fronk, Michelle

Ewer, Kareese Jiskra and Brandy Slowiak are on the roster, and will fill
pitcher, first and second base, and outfield positions. Sophomores Hannah
Lee and Myah Larson are also on the team, and Lee should provide outfield leadership for her classmates, says Spegal.
Four newcomers went out this year, with freshmen Taylor Hartzell and
Rachel Omtvedt in the outfield, and Danielle Fasbender and Cheyan
Shackleton in the infield.
Spegal, who is assisted by coach Andy Lorenzen, says although their
two leading seniors (A. Spegal and Ewings) are out for the start of the
season because of injuries, the Knights still plan to improve on last season
by having a team thats on the same page.
Last year (was my) first year as a head coach for a new team, said
Spegal of the newly co-oped 2014 Cornell-Lake Holcombe team. (This
year), everybody is on the same page and we know what the girls can do.
Northwood and Bruce are the teams to beat this season, as Spegal says
they have great pitchers and young talent. The Knights will have their
first matchup with Northwood April 16, and a game against Bruce is
scheduled for May 19.
Aside from winning, Spegal says his goals for the season include coaching the team to become one, and to play together.
For this group of girls to be great teammates, said Spegal. And to
have the seniors send down some traditions and skills to the younger
girls.

Cornell-Lake Holcombe Track

Players maximize potential for 2015 track season


By Monique Westaby
Coming off a first and second place finish in the East Lakeland Conference, the Cornell-Lake Holcombe girls and boys track teams have
the numbers to compete, with 20 girls and 19 boys on the roster for
the 2015 season. Of those, seven seniors and 12 juniors will lead the
teams.
Jake Ebner, co-head track coach, says both Knights teams are wellrounded, and aside from winning, he would like to see them maximize
their potential. Along with that, Ebner says hed like to see the girls
strive for a top two finish in conference, as well as make it to regionals, and a top three finish for the boys.
(This is) a rebuilding year, says Ebner of the boys team, noting
one weakness for the team age.
The boys will have seven freshmen on the team this year, competing
in events such as sprints, throws, jumps, mid-distance and pole vault.
Only four sophomores went out, but three are returning letter winners
and All-Conference earners (Kyle Goltz, Colton Hetke and Nate
Parkhurst).
Six of the seven letter winning juniors are set to compete in middistance, with Austin Fisk the only junior in the throw event.
Seniors Eric Nedland and Preston Strzok, both who earned All-Conference last year, will lead the team in age, but Ebner says Nedland

should provide the Knights leadership. Nedland is also a 2014 state


qualifier, and earned the team MVP award last year.
Juniors Kyle Girard and Matt Nedland also earned All-Conference
titles last year.
For girls, Ebner says the team is experienced, and looks to seniors
Danielle Gygi, Thia Moreen, Kaitlin Peterson and Gretchen Schroeder
to provide leadership. All four have received All-Conference honors
in the past, with Peterson earning the Team MVP award last year.
Events for the seniors include hurdles, high jump, mid-distance,
jumps and pole vault. Amanda Ewer rounds out the seniors on the girls
team, and plans to compete in the distance event.
Juniors and All-Conference earners on the roster are Jordan Geist,
Courtney Lundmark, Lexi Moussette, Elizabeth Sproul, Sara Stender
and Kayla Vavra.
Two sophomores are on the Knights team Lexi Short and McKenzie Weggen and seven freshmen will participate in events like middistance, jumps, hurdles, pole vault and sprints.
Ebner says the teams to beat this year are Cameron, whose girls
team finished in the runner-up position last year, and Flambeau, whose
boys team took the title for the East Lakeland Conference in 2014.
Ebner is assisted by co-head coach Tim Sime, and assistant coaches
Jason Jaenke, Jeff Moore and Marcus Leland.

Looking for a top two finish in the conference this year, the girls track team for Cornell-Lake Holcombe is experienced, with
five seniors on the team. The 2015 girls Knights team, sitting, are seniors Kaitlin Peterson, Danielle Gygi and Gretchen
Schroeder. Kneeling, are juniors Kayla Vavra, Lexi Moussette, Sara Stender, Elizabeth Sproul and Jordan Geist, and assistant
coach Marcus Leland. Standing, are co-head coach Jake Ebner, freshmen Haley Palmer and Ashlynn Moore, sophomore Lexi
Short, freshmen Kierra Walters and Gabby Harp, and co-head coach Tim Sime. Missing, are assistant coaches Jason Jaenke
and Jeff Moore, seniors Thia Moreen, and Amanda Ewer, junior Courtney Lundmark, sophomore McKenzie Weggen, and
freshmen Isabelle Dixon, Izzy Villalpando and Emily Vavra.

Knights start with 13 broken records, looking for more


By Monique Westaby
Were looking forward to good weather for a nice start to
the season, said Cindy Miller, Lake Holcombe athletic director.
With all spring sports co-oped for the Cornell-Lake Holcombe 2015 season, numbers for each sport are good, says

Miller. She compares them to last year, which was the first
year softball and baseball were co-oped, and the second year
track has been co-oped.
There are many returning players, says Miller.
Since the Knights track team has already started, 13 indoor
event records have been broken. Were looking forward to

more broken records as the season continues.


For softball and baseball, Miller says experienced players
will assist in many team wins.
Fifteen seniors, 20 juniors, 17 sophomores and 19 freshmen went out from Cornell and Lake Holcombe to compete
in the 2015 spring sports season.

Drastic improvement in the sites for Hornets baseball


By Monique Westaby
Head coach Peter Devine may have a team that plays in a
tough conference, ending 2014 at the bottom with only four
wins, but he says his players have high aspirations for this
season.
Some of the players wanted to have the goal of having a
winning record and winning our regional, said Devine.
That would be a drastic improvement, but I want to have
high goals and continually push the players to do everything
in their control to get those goals.
Those goals may not be so hard to achieve, with four top
pitchers returning, giving Devine his biggest strength this
year. Along with those pitchers, four seniors who have
started most or all of their high school careers also return
Ezra Michael, Austin Najbrt, Quinn Sikora and Brett McChesney.
I think our amount of returning talent, and other teams
graduating some quality players, will allow us to move up

the ladder in the conference,said Devine, listing McDonell,


Regis, Osseo-Fairchild and Altoona as the teams to beat.
The Hornets biggest challenge this season will be getting
more offense than last year however, Devine says he thinks
it will be possible with the high percentage of returning players.
Aside from the four seniors, seven juniors, three sophomores and five freshmen will round out the 19 man team.
Devine says he started coaching ball because he loves the
game and has played since he was child, playing catch in the
backyard with his brothers and dad. I still play in the summers because to me, it is the best combination of team and
individual competition.
A lot of your success in baseball comes from how hard
you work at it and how well you understand the game, he
said. Not just speed or size that youre born with.
A youth coach for multiple years, a high school coach in
Granton, and four years playing college ball at UW-Superior,

Devine still plays WBA baseball for a team near his hometown of Medford.
He says his favorite part of coaching is interacting with players in a different dynamic
than their teaching, but still teaching the
students important skills like
work ethic, dedication and
teamwork.
Its rewarding to see
them
improve
yearly, monthly,
even weekly, said
Devine. I want the
boys to be better
people and baseball
players from going
through our baseball
program.

Cadott Softball

Young ladies work hard to improve, on and off the field


By Monique Westaby
Improvement, says Kari Moldrem, Cadott head softball coach, about her goals for the 2015 season. Every
year, every player needs to keep working hard to improve.
Some of that effort will translate into filling holes left
by graduating seniors, one of which was the team leader
for batting average and earned 2nd Team All-Conference.
This years seniors are the ones to do that, and Moldrem
looks to Devin Kulow, Racheal Semanko and Marissa
Sperber to step up to the plate.
I am looking for these young ladies to lead our team in
the right direction, said Moldrem. Both on and off the
field. Racheal was second on the team for batting average
leader.
Sam Rineck is the other senior on the team, along with

two juniors, Bailee Bremness and Ashley Kramer, three


sophomores, Bobbi Burgess, Brittany Erickson and Jessa
Raether, and seven freshmen.
Our new members of the team are bringing athleticism,
knowledge and love of the game of softball, says Moldrem, who will be assisted by Pete Schroeder this year.
As a coach, I love having players like that because I have
options where I can play people.
Moldrem coached last year in Cadott, and coached a
year at Owen-Withee. She says she got into coaching because she loves to play, excelled at softball and wanted
to use her knowledge and experience to help players improve and enjoy the game.
With four years participating in high school softball, experience as a college softball player at UW-Stevens Point,
and playing against TeamUSA in 2000 as part of the Cen-

tral Park to Sydney, Australia Tour, Moldrem is no stranger


to the game.
My favorite part of coaching is seeing players succeed
in high pressure situations, said Moldrem. Its a great
feeling to come through to help your team win games.
With plans to improve on their defensive play this year,
the Hornets say the teams to beat are Thorp and Altoona.
Moldrem says Thorp always has a strong team, and Altoona is a Division 2 school with a larger population and
more players to choose from, making them a competitive
team.
But Moldrem says there isnt a team they cant beat if
Cadott plays up to their potential.
Improvement can be achieved during practice, says
Moldrem. But to be the best you can be, you have to work
hard outside of practice too.

said head coach Pat Rothbauer of the five senior girls from 2014, we
will be counting on a large number of new athletes to step up and work
hard to continually improve.
For the boys, Rothbauer says he thinks the team has improved from
last year, and has a large number of highly motivated younger
athletes. But he says the upperclassmen will be looked to for
strong leadership, both verbally and by example, and that the underclassmen will be watched for steady improvement.
If the boys work hard and have a great attitude, they will improve
over the course of the season, said Rothbauer. And we will have a
competitive squad.
Only six seniors are on the roster this year four boys and two girls
while 17 juniors will participate in events like sprints, long jumps,
hurdles, pole vaulting and mid-distance, to name a few. The seniors Luke Bell, Gerrit Janicki, B. Kyes, Joe Carrell, Katie Kunsman and Kyla Nichols are slated to compete in distance,
throwing, hurdles, triple jump, high jump, sprints, long jump and
mid-distance events.
Seventeen sophomores and 14 freshmen round out both teams.
Rothbauer, who overlooks those in sprints, relays and high jumps, is
in his third year coaching, and is assisted by Tom Stephens (discus and
shot put), Sydney Stephens (hurdles and jumps), Tom Weiss (distance
and pole vaulting) and Alex Rothbauer (hurdles and jumps).
The girls will spend their early season trying to determine the best
events for each player, and Rothbauer says the boys need to improve in
distance and relay events. And pay attention to detail in all field events.
Coaches set the goals high for the boys team, and say that in any given
year, they can step up and win conference. To do that, getting through
good athletes from Fall Creek, Regis and Altoona, will be part of the
teams goal on their hunt for the title.
Because of that great level of competition, our main goal is to work
as hard as possible to put ourselves in the position to have a chance to
win the Western Cloverbelt Conference Championship, said Rothbauer.
This all starts in the weight room, where we will try to improve our
overall strength, which directly transfers into all aspects of track and
field.

New seasons bring new beginnings and keep tradition strong


By Monique Westaby
New seasons mean new beginnings and the spring
coaches are looking forward to their respective seasons,
says James Sekel, Cadott athletic director. Each spring
brings different teams and different challenges.
Coaches will challenge their athletes, says Sekel, making sure players work toward their full potential. With
great numbers in track and field, and normal numbers
in softball, baseball and golf, outside practice started early
thanks to fantastic spring weather.
This is quite a change from at least the last three years
when snow and cold kept us indoors, said Sekel. From
a track and field standpoint, this is likely to mean less shin

splints.
Because the four year window for high school athletics
often closes before you know it, Sekel says hed like to
see them work hard in the classroom, compete hard in their
athletics and have fun. He says athletics are a great supplement to the districts athletic mission.
The Cadott community has been supportive of our mission in academics and athletics for a number of years,
said Sekel. We want to keep that tradition strong.
Aside from winning, Sekel says hed like to see Cadotts
athletes and coaches excel at setting high standards in the
classroom, school and community. He also says being a
positive role model for elementary students, and represent-

ing the community in a positive light, are things all student-athletes should strive for.
Exhibiting good sportsmanship, competing, having fun
and making good memories are other goals I have for the
student-athletes and coaches, Sekel said.
As for next year, even better numbers out for sports is
something Sekel says hed like to see, adding that every
student should be involved in some athletic endeavor or
school activity.
This is something that we have strived for in
Cadott, and we will continue to encourage in our student
body get involved with your school, some way, somehow.
