Issue 1 - 2/17/2020

B ringing back the school newspaper was a c h a l l e n g e o u r Publications class was ready to take on. Throughout the process we have had many laughs, snack breaks, and valuable memories made. Each article was written by a hardworking student who is dedicated to informing you about things/events going on at Columbus Catholic Schools and in the Marshfield area. With some not having much experience with writing articles on

certain subjects, we were given the opportunity to learn and understand how to format an article, how to properly interview someone, how to make an article more appealing, and many more methods. It is a great experience for someone who enjoys writing. Any suggestions or feedback would be great and we hope you enjoy the first edition of the Columbus Log.

Enjoy updates from our high school sports. In this issue we cover boys/girls basketball along with wrestling.

HS Girls Basketball The Columbus Dons girls basketball team played Spencer on January 23rd and won with a score of 42-24. Emmalee Jicinsky stated, “We didn’t come out slow and our defense played well.” Addie Baierl also commented, “We focused on pressure, rebounding, and outworking our opponent. I helped our team win by doing my job on offense and defense. I also helped by being in the right place defensively and running plays correctly on offense, executing the game plan, applying pressure and pushing the ball in transition.” The girls basketball team is currently 9-10 on the season with one scheduled game left. That game will be on Monday, February 17th, at home against Neillsville. On Saturday, Feb. 22nd, the girls have a Cloverbelt crossover game.

HS Wrestling In wrestling, there are two teams and one person from each team faces off in each match, depending on their weight class. If a wrestler doesn’t have a person in their weight class ,then that person forfeits the match. Austin Grubofski, from the Spencer/Columbus combined wrestling team, wears a singlet (which is the outfit a wrestler wears) and an ear guard. His favorite move is the single-leg takedown. His team faced off against Neillsville/Greenwood/Loyal on Tuesday, January 21st, at Spencer/

C o l u m b u s . C o a c h Zschernitz said, “We’ve got to g i v e i t everything we got, win or l o s e . ” Sectionals are on Saturday, February 22nd, at Osceola. O t h e r C o l u m b u s students on the team are

Cole Hanson, Joe Neider, and Riley Smith.

HS Boys Basketball The Columbus Dons boys basketball team won their game against Colby on January 24th with a score of 73-69. Before the game, Coach Konieczny told the team, “Have fun, talk defensively, rebound, shoot with confidence, and when you’re open, be personally accountable.” At halftime, Coach K added, “Play for the guy next to you. Get out and run. They can’t keep up.” Wyatt Drexler also remarked that this game felt like the first one all season where personal numbers didn’t matter throughout the game. The boys basketball team is currently 8-9 on the season. Their next game will be against Greenwood on Tuesday, February 18th, at home. They then travel to Loyal on Friday, February 21st. They will finish off their season with a home

The Dons Dispatch will keep you up to date on news stories from Marshfield and the surrounding area.

Marshfield Teens Prepare for

Trial Bradley Hendrickson (18), Jared Roggenbauer (17), and Gage Plechaty (19) are facing trial for a terrorist threat against Marshfield High School. The three teens were seen on a hallway security camera entering the bathroom together. Roggenbauer then left the bathroom and informed Officer Matthew Berres, who was on duty at the school, that there was a bomb threat written on the bathroom wall. The building was immediately evacuated, and all students were sent home for the day. The next day, Officer Berres questioned Roggenbauer, who eventually admitted to writing the threat with Hendrickson and Plechaty’s encouragement. The motive was to get school cancelled. The court decided that the three adolescents were guilty of making terroristic threats. All

three pleaded guilty, and they will return to court on May 1st for pretrial. The felony charge for terrorist threats can include three years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine. Anyone who is 17 years or older can be tried in adult court, which will be the case with these defendants. ——————————————— New Dollar General Coming to

Marshfield At 707 North Central Avenue, the two businesses known as Marco’s Pizza and Family Video have closed. They are both going to be replaced with a Dollar General, a small variety store that is commonly known for its low prices. Remodeling will start soon. ——————————————— Donated Hats Keep Marshfield

Warm over the Winter Marshfield citizens are staying warm this year with the help of a free hat rack in the Everett

Roehl Library. The rack has supplied many items, ranging from hats to gloves to scarves. Many of the items are left over from the 200 hats knitted by the Monday Sew k n i t t e r s ’ g r o u p f o r the Marshfield Area Community Foundation’s Keep Kids Warm event. Keep Kids Warm supplied 222 jackets during the event alone and an additional 35 jackets to Marshfield area schools. Other items, such as scarves, hats, and gloves, were supplied and some leftover items were sent to the library where the rack will stand until the items are gone.

“Knowledge is power” - Francis Bacon

O n January 22nd, groups from the Diocese of La Crosse embarked on a

mission to Washington, D.C. to participate in the world’s largest March for Life. Pilgrims from all over the world gathered on the morning of the 24th at the Life is Very Good rally to praise Jesus, reflect on the dignity of all human beings, and celebrate Mass before the March. For the first time in history, a U.S. President, Donald Trump, came to the March for Life where he spoke his support in front of thousands of pro-life marchers. The St. John the

B a p t i s t group did not come in time to hear him speak, but w e r e pleasantly surpr ised w h e n T r u m p h i m s e l f

drove past them, smiling and waving in the middle of his motorcade. Just before the start of the March, a group of St. John’s members were interviewed by a reporter while speakers talked in the background. They were asked about why the M a r c h w a s important to them and what it means to stand up for life. Once groups were in position, the procession slowly made its way down the route. The few protesters could not even

compare to the strength and unity of the pro-life generation, who were standing up and speaking out for those who do not have a voice. The signs, chants, prayers, music, and the sheer number of people were jaw dropping, catching every local’s attention. However, the protest did not end on Capitol Hill. Numerous groups took turns praying for mercy in front of a Planned Parenthood building on the 25th. They lined the

sidewalks, so as not to block anyone’s way, and prayed the rosary while being watched by Planned Parenthood escorts. They prayed for the souls of each woman who walked through the doors, putting their trust in God that He will take care of everything. They did not engage with any protesters but simply prayed harder. No one left the March unimpacted or uninspired, for the protection and dignity of human life affect us all. Together, we can stand up and make a difference in the world: one step, one word, and one choice at a time.

March For Life

“The right to life is the first human right” - Cardinal Bergoglio

E very year Columbus C a t h o l i c commemorates our fallen hero, Joseph Altmann. Many students are aware that he was an alumnus of Columbus (class of 2003) and that he died serving his country. However, many younger students do not really know much about this man who now has a scholarship in his name. Growing up, Joe was usually quiet in the classroom, but he did have a reputation for making his friends laugh with his quick wit. He was a four-sport athlete and p l a ye d s o c c e r , f o o t b a l l , basketball, and baseball. In the fall of 2002, he was a member of the first co-op Spencer/Columbus Rocket football team. He loved the outdoors and going hunting with his family. Joe may not have been the MVP of his teams, but he was a true team player nonetheless. He was selfless, often putting others before himself. Outside of school he showed this in his community by volunteering at various f u n c t i o n s s u c h a s t h e Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner. His service to others was a result of his deep faith in Christ and the Church. His family was extremely important to him. Joe was the second oldest of five, having an older brother and a younger brother and two younger sisters. He spent a lot of time with his aunt and uncle, visiting them at least once a week. He would have done anything to protect his family. When Joe went to college at

UW-Wood County, he took courses studying medicine and enjoyed them. One day, he had a conversation with an army recruiter who suggested that he could be an army medic. This was the perfect position for Joe! He could serve his country and help other people at the same time. In the meantime, Joe met and fell in love with his future wife,

Nikki. Nikki understood that her husband had a special place in his platoon and that he needed to support his comrades who had become like a family to him. She was waiting patiently for his return when, unbeknownst to them, they had their last conversation ever. It was Christmas Eve, 2011, and Joe and Nikki were skyping. Skype did not always work, but this night, thankfully, it did. Joe was due to come home soon. Nikki told him that she loved him and would wait for him to come home. He told her that he loved her and that he was so thankful that God gave her to him as his wife. The next day, Christmas, Army Staff Sargent Joseph Altmann

was killed in an insurgent attack in Kunar Province, Afghanistan. The news was devastating to his family, but they knew that God had called him home. The news struck the Columbus Catholic community hard. Hundreds of people came to a ceremony held at Columbus in the gym. A slide show presentation of Joe played on the screen while more of his photos and military medals were displayed. People brought flowers and sympathy cards for the family. The Marine Corps League presented Nikki with a bronze Fallen Warrior sculpture in Joe’s honor. Also in attendance were the Knights of Columbus and the Patriot Guard Riders. Joe’s funeral was held at St. John the Baptist Church.

Two scholarships are awarded in Joseph Altmann’s name each year: one for a Columbus middle schooler and one for a Columbus high schooler. A short essay is required to apply. This year’s topic is “What does my freedom mean to me?” This is a fitting question because Joe sacrificed himself for everyone’s freedom. Recipients should be well-rounded students who perhaps share some similarities to Joe. Joseph Altmann was a hero everyone can look up to. His undying courage and service to others is a true example of what it means to be a Christian. By using the talents God has given, everyone can make a difference in this world in ways they would have never expected.

“Even though you’re growing up, you should never stop having fun” - Nina Dobrev

Queen of the Night

My heart pounds so loudly that it is a mystery the evil things that lurk in this hair-raising place don’t hear it and come to consume me. I stifle a scream as my eyes adjust to see a terror too horrible to describe. In front of me, a huge doorway looms, larger than the average oak tree and wider than the average grove. With a chill, I realize what it is: the door that leads to ghastly things more horrible than you’ll find in hell. The rest of the space is filled with the sharpest shrapnel I’ve ever seen. I flash back to that horrendous night, the one I still have nightmares about. The brisk fall air attacked my face as I climbed up the steps to the door. I had been at old Ms. Gleeson’s helping her around the house. She’d insisted on having tea and talking about my school life, so I was getting back late. My older sister, Violet, was home sick. I went to check on her. I found her in her room sleeping, and I decided to let her rest. My mom had texted earlier to say that she was getting home from work later than she originally thought and that we should just have leftovers. Three hours went by and I started to get worried. No matter what, Violet always woke up for dinner. I decided to go wake her. Knowing that she would never even open her eyes if I turned on the light, I kept it off. When I reached out and touched her shoulder, I could tell something was wrong. She wasn’t breathing. In a panic, I ran over to the light switch and flipped it on. I turned back to her bed and screamed. “Cereus! Cereus! Cereus, what’s-?!” My mom stopped abruptly in Violet’s doorway while she took in the heart-stopping scene in front of her. “OH MY GOD!!!! Cereus, call 911!” I hurried to do what she said, even though she and I both knew the terrify- ing truth; It was too late. Violet was dead, no more than a stabbed teenage girl, lying in her blood-soaked bed with her glassed-over eyes staring up at nothing.

Snapping back to reality, I remember that I need to get out of this place. I turn back the way I came, hoping to leave, but the way is blocked by a hooded figure, enveloped in darkness. I gasp as the figure steps out of the shadows – Jaakobah, the most malicious there ever was. If it weren’t for him, none of this would’ve happened. We had come to know each other in the month after Violet’s murder. At her funeral, I was in such agony that I ran as fast as I could away from Violet’s grave and ended up in the oldest part of the cemetery. I screamed my frustrations to the world, not realizing that anyone was listening. Then, Jaakobah appeared and said that he could help me. He offered me three wishes in exchange for a favor. At first, I was wary because the favor could be something evil, but he convinced me that I would get vengeance for Violet’s death, and I agreed. I should have realized then that it was a trick. Now I’m here, fighting for my life. Although I know Jaakobah would never allow it, I find myself wanting to use my third and final wish to go back in time and tell myself not to trust him. “I accept the wishes.” I had said the words so seriously. Now I just wish I could have ripped the words from my mouth before I spoke them. I remember that fateful day, a couple of days after the funeral, that I used my first wish. Hoping to get justice for Violet, I had wished to know who’d killed her. That was my first mistake. Jaakobah had been more than happy to tell me that my best friend, Jennifer, was the one who had murdered my sister. I stormed up the stairs to Jennifer’s bedroom, seething the entire way. One look at my face, and she knew that I knew. Her face crumpled and immediately she started apologizing. I cut her off and demanded to know why. She glanced around nervously, leaned in close, and told me about how this spirit named Jaakobah manipulated her. She

claimed to have suffered paranoia ever since. My worst fear was confirmed. Jaakobah was not there to help me. I immediately ran home and called upon Jaakobah. Gathering my courage, I wished to get revenge on the spirit that Jennifer claimed possessed her, purposely leaving out that I knew who the spirit was. He summoned a portal and told me to jump through. That’s how I ended up in this evil place. “It’s too late to turn back now, Cereus,” chuckles Jaakobah. I glance nervously around me, but see no escape without going through the doorway, which is exactly what he wants me to do. He takes slow, deliberate steps toward me as if he knows how panicked I am. Matching his pace, I gravely take one step backwards, then another, and another until my back is mere centimeters from the doorway. Taking a deep breath, I plunge into the darkness, flinching as I feel it swallow me.

6 Months Later

Ms. Lewison had given up all hope of seeing Cereus again. What hurt her the most was that she would never get to know what happened to either of her daughters. The police had never been able to find Violet’s murderer and Cereus had just vanished into thin air without a trace. Out of the blue, she heard the doorbell chime. Slowly she got up to answer it. What she saw when she opened the door surprised her. It was a friendly looking man with a young face and eyes that appeared to look straight into her soul. “Hi, my name is Jaakobah. I can show you where Cereus is; you just have to trust me.” “O-Ok,” Ms. Lewison agreed, taken off guard by the surprising news. “I trust you.”

Every issue, The Columbus Log is going to include some writing from our Middle School students. This issue, enjoy a wonderfully written story from Charlotte Schiferl,

whose story we selected from Maria Schroeder’s Middle School writing class.

Story by: Charlotte Schiferl

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Rather than having random artifacts scattered throughout the museum, the United States Holocaust Museum organizes its contents in chronological order with an in-depth explanation of what was happening. The museum’s exhibits include: Remember the Children: Daniel’s Story (the story of a young Jewish boy who lived in Nazi Germany), Americans and the Holocaust, and American Witness (about the reactions of American soldiers in response to seeing the concentration camps). Through these exhibits, the museum provokes questions about how the Holocaust came to

happen and makes visitors think about how to prevent such an event from happening in the future. Visitors should allow themselves at least a few hours to spend at the museum.

White House People looking to visit the White House must submit a request through their member of Congress at least 21 days in advance. Visits are first come, first serve, so it is recommended that visitors submit their requests as early as possible. The earliest a request may be submitted is three months prior to the visit. During their visit, visitors have a chance to see two floors of

the White House, including s e v e r a l h i s t o r i c rooms, and the original L a n s d o w n e portrait (the f a m o u s portrait of Washington during his final year in office). There is also a collection of dishware from past Presidents and a wall of various photographs of past presidents. White House visits are self guided and a visit to the White House can be a fairly short stop.

Places To See In Washington, D.C.

Current Issues The Bad

·Worldwide, deserts are growing. Their growth is slow but in a very, very distant future the world could be one large desert. However, our genera-tion will be LONG gone by the time that happens.

·Large rainforests are being cut down to grow oil palm trees which produce palm oil for cooking. Palm oil is high in saturated fat which has been linked to heart disease. The expansion of palm oil plantations has pushed tigers, orangutans, and gibbons to the brink of extinction. Double bad.

·Thousands of workers have died building the FIFA World Cup Stadium in Qatar. Their deaths aren’t being talked about, however, because most of them are immigrants. Reporters are even being arrested for reporting on this, so wish me luck.

·Due to the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, their effect on certain bacteria is decreasing.

The Good

·In the last 20 years, cancer rates have dropped by 20 percent and they continue to do so.

·Over the last century, humans in developed/developing nations appear to have gotten smarter by about three IQ points per decade. This is called the “Flynn Effect.”

·Sub-Saharan Africa is home to many of the fast-est growing economies in the world. Ethiopia, Af-rica’s second most populous country, is forecast to have the region’s fastest economic growth.

·Machines are learning faster than anyone ever thought possible. One AI program even beat the leading human record for an incredibly challeng-ing game called GO that was previously thought only to be able to be finished by humans.

·Due to recent advances in technology, nuclear en-ergy is actually one of the safest and cleanest forms of energy. However, because of past acci-dents people are still very wary of it. Article by: Orion Smith
