Cadott, Cornell & Lake Holcombe - Wisconsin
One street, two firesBy Monique Westaby
Cornells Eighth Street has been a hot
topic for the Cornell Area Fire Department,
as crews have responded to two fire calls in
two days on that road.
The first call came in Sunday morning,
Jan. 24, on South Eighth Street at the BekkiSchofield residence. Schofield called the de-
partment after an electric heater she had
plugged in started on fire.
The outlet caught fire, said fire chief
Denny Klass. It burned up the wiring in the
outlet. We took the outlet off, taped it, and
advised the owner to put a new outlet in.
Klass said although the fire was out, the
department was called to check the walls, per
the homeowners request. He says the only
damage was to the outlet, and he is unsure
why it started on fire.
North Eighth Street was the location of the
second call, Jan. 25, when a snowmobile at
the Eb and Wilma Ballinger residence caught
fire.
They were trying to start their snowmo-bile, said Klass. They had it running once;
then it popped and started on fire.
Klass said gas was pouring out of the
1997 Arctic Cat, making extinguishing the
fire a little difficult, but the department got it
under control and suppressed the flames.
We used a fire extinguisher and a bunch
more water, said Klass. There was exces-
sive damage to the machine.
No one was injured at either fire.

Cadott Village BoardHistorical society joining 21st century
By Kayla Peche
With help from the Cadott Village Board
and their Internet connection at Riverview
Park, the Cadott Historical Society plans to
become up-to-date with todays technology.
Some of the people are trying to move the
society into the 21st century because we
dont have computers or anything like that,
said Brad Arneson, historical society presi-
dent, during a Jan. 18 regular village board
meeting. We purchased a computer; how-
ever, we need to hook up to the Internet.
Arneson says the society will use the In-
ternet while in the office on Mondays for re-
search and connecting with the publicelectronically.
We have no other way of communicating
when everyone is now communicating on the
Internet, he said.
Although the society is located closer to
the elementary school, Arneson said the
building was unable to receive their Wi-Fi.
Cadott police chief Louis Eslinger suggested
Arneson contact their Internet provider and
receive village permission to use the avail-
able connection at Riverview Park.
We would pay for that hook up, said Ar-
neson. Also, if it is needed by the park if
one of the others would go down they
could disconnect us.
Bart Chapek, village board member, said
in his experience joining buildings with Wi-
Fi, the connection can be shaky, and en-
courages Arneson to guarantee it will work.
Village board president Anson Albarado
asked Arneson if there would be any future
charges to the village.
It would be a one time charge to us, said
Arneson. And from what I was told, no
charge to the village because we are workingoff the current Internet.
Because the topic was discussed during
public comment, the board will add the ap-
proval of the Wi-Fi connection to the next
meetings agenda.
During correspondence, village clerk
Sandy Buetow said there will be an informa-
tional meeting about the East MD Street
project Wednesday, Feb. 10, at 6 p.m., at the
VFW Hall.
The engineer will come and explain
things to the public about whats going to
happen there, said Albarado.
The project consists of removal and recon-
struction of 1,350 feet of street, and removal
and replacement of watermain, sanitary
sewer and storm sewer.The village received a matching grant to
complete the project from a Community De-
velopment Block Grant for public facilities,
lowering their costs from $731,500 to
$365,750. Buetow said residents will not be
assessed for improvements per grant require-
ments.

With a proposed 2016-17 schedule on the table, Cornell School
District students have 171 contact days. But an extra six days of
highly-encouraged summer school was the hot topic of the Jan. 25
regular school board meeting.
What about the students who dont attend? asked Eileen Sikora,
board member. Someones going to be behind.
Cornell district administrator Paul Schley said schools are required
1,050 hours for elementary students and 1,137 hours for high school
students. Cornells district plans about 14 days over those require-
ments, because Schley says students arent going to learn as much
if theyre missing school.
Because of this flexibility, the proposed schedule, available on the
school website (cornell.k12.wi.us), has an additional six days (Aug.
24-31) of summer school that is not required, but highly recom-
mended. Schley says the buses will run during this time, and there
is no added cost to the district.
It will get us done before Memorial Day, he said, which is nice
because in the spring, whether thats February or June, when that
hits, its tough to teach kids.
Schley says the six days would be like starting the regular year

Staff and building changesfor Lake Holcombe school
By Monique Westaby
The Lake Holcombe School has been see-
ing some changes lately, from new staff and
retirements, to more efficient window treat-
ments, new synchronized atomic clocks, an
updated PA system and welding shop im-
provements.
At the regular school board meeting Jan.
18, the board approved the resignations of
two teachers social studies teacher Amanda
Ruhoff (effective Jan. 22), and special edu-
cation aide Linda Nitek (at the end of the
school year).
In her resignation letter, Ruhoff says her
fiance accepted a job promotion, which
moves her and her family away from the dis-
trict.
I appreciate the opportunity you gave me
here, wrote Ruhoff.I appreciate the support
my other staff members gave me, and their
tips/ideas. Their ideas helped me improve my

It isnt until thefourth OWI (and only if
the offender has had another charge in the
last five years) that a drunk driver receives
a Class H Felony charge. That means the
person would need to be caught, at mini-
mum, four times to receive more than just a
dont do it again.
At least four times that person has risked
countless lives.At least four times that per-son has driven past your children, your
mother, your siblings, while unable to walk
a straight line or pass a sobriety test.
What is, Why do we keep letting these
people re-offend?
This bill, giving stricter punishments for
repeat offenders, will help Wisconsin move
toward a safer state, but its only the first
step. Its time to sober up Wisconsin, and
stop letting first-time offenders get away
with (possible) murder and putting our lives
in jeopardy.

Earlier this year, a bill
targeting repeat drunk
drivers received unani-
mous approval in the
Wisconsin Assembly Ju-
diciary Committee.
The bill, authored by Rep. Jim Ott andSen. Alberta Darling, would eliminate limits
on prosecutors and increase penalties for
multiple drunk driving offenders. Right
now, Wisconsin doesnt allow prosecutors
to take into account previous drunk driving
offenses if they were five years prior to the
latest arrest.
This bill will give judges and prosecu-
tors a better chance to keep repeat drunk
drivers off of the road, said Ott. Drunk
driving continues to be a chronic problem
in our state and its time repeat offenders
have real consequences.
With over 2,500 people killed in Wiscon-
sin in alcohol related crashes from 2003-
2012, according to statistics from the Center
for Disease Control, and nearly 31,000 DUIarrests in 2015, according to Mothers
Against Drunk Driving (MADD), Wiscon-
sin is ranked in the top five states for the
largest percentage of traffic fatalities in-
volving a drunk driver.
Its almost like Wisconsin should be in
the Not-So-Sober States category on Jeop-
ardy!
In 2009, in a report issued by the U.S. De-
partment of Health and Human Services,
Wisconsin was on record for having the
highest rate of drunk driving nationwide.
In reality, this shouldnt be a surprise, as
the Badger State is the only one of the Fifty-
Nifty that gives first-time offenders a slap
on the wrist, rather than punishing an of-
fender enough to keep them from doing itagain.
Although there are some instances where
a mistake was made, drinking and driving
once can kill just as easily as an experi-
enced intoxicated driver.
In Wisconsin, first-time Operating While
Under the Influence offenders face a fine
between $150 and $300, an OWI surcharge
of $365, a six-to-nine month license suspen-
sion, alcohol and drug use assessment, anda possible ignition interlock device (depend-
ing on the BAC).
While these may seem a little on the steep
side for someone who just had a few, take
into account the neighbors to the west. In
Minnesota, first time offenders can serve up
to 90 days in jail, face up to $1,000 in fines
and penalties, and up to a 90-day license
suspension, with an ignition interlock de-
vice (depending on BAC).
Drinking and driving once is dumb, and
getting caught on that first time is not un-
common. But consider how many times a
person plays their odds when getting behind
the wheel of a vehicle after having a few,
before they get caught.
Americans take 233 billion trips in cars
each year, reports MADD.org. Of those,
about one out of every two thousand trips
are taken by those who are driving under the
influence of alcohol.Wisconsin isnt rallying for stronger pun-
ishment for first-time offenders (although
they should be), but rather for those who
break the law and risk their li fe, and other
lives, more than that first accident.
Last year, according to MADD, Wiscon-
sin had over 46,500 third-time offenders,
and over 8,000 fifth-time offenders.
Over 8,000 fifth-time OWIs. We dont
need Alex Trebek to tell us the system we
have isnt working, to question what we
need to do.
Ill take harsher punishments for first-time offenders for $1,000

Although they havent received as much
acclaim, women have long played roles inmale sports, acting as CEOs, talent scouts
and trainers. In recent years, women have
even taken their place on the field with men
as referees, commentators and reporters.
While its wonderful to see women get-
ting the same respect and recognition in
managerial or administrative positions, its
even better to see the level of competition
they bring to a sport itself.
Listed as the highest paid male or female
UFC fighter, Ronda Rousey has literally
kicked down doors, becoming the No. 1 fe-
male bantamweight fighter in the world in
2015. Shes even gone on record saying she
could beat undefeated professional boxing
champion Floyd Mayweather, in a no-rules
fight.Danica Patrick is the most successful
woman in the history of American open-
wheel racing and became the first female
driver to win a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
pole in 2013. Going toe to toe or ti re to
tire with the likes of Jeff Gordon and
Jimmy Johnson, Patrick earned a ninth-
place finish in 2015 at Bristol Motor
Speedway in Tennessee, in which she sur-
passed Janet Guthri e for the most top 10
finishes by a female in Sprint Cup Series
history.
WWE divas used to be known for who
had the best hair and looked good in a
bathing suit. That stigma is now taking a
back burner with the focus turning to ath-
letic and ring ability. Its not surprising thatmany of the female wrestlers on the roster
are making appearances in fitness maga-
zines instead ofPlayboy.The list goes on and on of female athletes
with amazing talent, who strive to break
down barriers and open new doors for fu-
ture competitors.
Female involvement in sports has cer-
tainly come a long way, considering
schools didnt offer girls teams until the
mid 1970s. Over the past 40 years, female
sports have grown to include soccer, soft-
ball and golf, and in some cases hockey and
basebal l. Many schools now co-op girls
and boys track and cross country, further
working toward building mutual respect for
all genders in the sports realm.
Female collegiate sports are also on the
rise, taking their rightful places beside their
male counterparts. It doesnt stop there, aswomens summer and winter Olympic
sports are among the most watched events.
In the years to come, more and more op-
portun ities will present themse lves to
women who display a passion and love of
sports, and arent afraid to jump head first.
While some female athletes still receive
less pay than a male competitor and dont
get top billing, if fans show even greater
support for womens athletic programs, that
will change.
As rapidly as gender equality is evolving,
we probably wont have to wait another
generation before females are hired as head
coaches in mens sports. Who knows,
maybe one day boys and girls teams wont
be known as boys andgirls teams, and willjust be sports teams.

While four NFL teamswere getting ready to de-
termine the Super Bowl
lineup this past week, the
Buffalo Bills were busy
making history. Bills ex-
ecutives announced Jan.
20 that they had hired Kathryn Smith as a
special teams quality control coach the
NFLs first female full-t ime coach.
After 150 years of recorded history,
American football has taken the next step
in gender equality, something that has be-
come more prevalent in sports, especially
over the last decade or so.
In 2014, Becky Hammon, retired WNBA
player, took her place in the history books
when she was hired by the San AntonioSpurs NBA team as an assistant coach.

Ouch! Ive burned
my hand, now what?By Leanna Munoz, N.P., Mayo Health System
Feb. 1-7 is Burn Awareness week, and there are many ques-
tions about how to best treat a minor burn Do I pop the blis-
ter? Do I use hot or cold water on it? Do I cover with
bandages?
Some of the most important things to do in treating a minor
burn are to act fast and follow these tips:
Use cool (not cold) running water a little colder than
room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes or until the paineases. A cool, clean, damp towel works, too.
Swelling may occur, so remove tight items, such as rings
or clothing, from the burned area.
Do not break the blister if it is bigger than your little fin-
gernail. If the blister does break, clean it with mild soap and
water. Apply antibiotic ointment and cover with a bandage
or gauze.
Applying moisturizer, aloe vera gel or other pain or relief
gels may provide temporary relief. Dont slather on butter,
as butter retains heat and also could be contaminated with
bacteria.
Over-the-counter pain relief may be beneficial. Ibupro-
fen, naproxen sodium or acetaminophen can help ease the
pain.
Its important to ensure you have had a tetanus shot
within the last 10 years, as you can get tetanus through an
open wound in the skin.See your health care provider for a burn if symptoms
worsen and larger blisters develop. Large blisters are best re-
moved by a medical provider, as they rarely will remain in-
tact on their own.
If the burn covers a large area of the body or infection-like
signs begin to show, such as oozing from the wound, in-
creased pain, redness and swelling, also see a health care
provider.
Always call 911 for emergency medical help for major
burns.
To the editor:
I read with interest your op-ed column in the Courier-Sen-
tinel edition 1-21-2016. I applaud your ability to express your
opinion because that is one of the great freedoms we have in
this country.
You opine that no one under the age of 10 should be al-
lowed to carry a firearm. Your opinion is based on your head-
line which states that not all parents are competent to make
this decision about all children.A specific age should not be used to categorize all people,
children or adults. You simply should not say that at 9 years,
11 months, and 29 days a person is not mature enough to han-
dle a firearm safely then magically the next day they are. This
decision should be made on an individual by individual basis
by the parents and the required hunter safety instructor.
I personally knew a 70 year old that should have never car-
ried a firearm (my father) and an eight year old whom I
would have trusted to go hunting by himself (my eldest son).
So, Monique, when you support legislation that restricts
when your husband, or father, or father-in-law will be able
to take your eldest son hunting, you are taking away your
own freedoms and everyone elses. This is true of every law.
Personally I blame your father for not teaching you this
when you were growing up.
Sincerely,
Steven Gont (your father)Cornell
Cornell City Council
Completion of facility plan one step closerBy Ginna Young
Cornell is one step closer to a completed wastewater treat-
ment facility plan, after city administrator Dave DeJongh re-
ported at a regular council meeting Jan. 21 that the city had
received interest from engineering companies. After De-
Jongh sent out word for proposals and qualifications, seven
companies responded, to which council members must nar-
row the choices to three.The process has begun, said Mayor Judy Talbot. You
really have to read into them though. Look at their experi-
ence, the projects theyve donedont pick the lowest, pick
the one youre most comfortable with.
Once the council has selected the top three, they will in-
terview the candidates, along with input from John Westaby,
city utility/public works supervisor.
Your opinion counts, said Talbot to the board. Dont
lay them off on someone else; look through them and let your
voice be heard so we get the right person for the job.
During the regular meeting, council members also passedResolution 16-1, which shows support for Chippewa
Countys plan to construct a new bridge across the Chippewa
River, about a 1/4 of a mile from the current Cobban Bridge.
Weve had some public hearings in regard to this, said
Talbot. It would help our cause to send in resolutions or
emails or letters specifying which of the places. So Dave
wrote up this resolution for us.
On other agenda, the city voted to offer a full-time operator
and mechanic position to Scott Thompson, Cornell. The
opening came about after the resignation of Jim Jensen last
fall, and the retirement of Terry Stipek at the end of January.
As a notice to the public, Cornell will hold a spring pri-
mary election Feb. 16 for Supreme Court Justices. Photo ID
is required and absentee ballots can be obtained at the city
office.
Lets see if we can get a few people in here so our poll
workers arent bored, said Talbot with a laugh. Its notgoing to take long.
Letter to the Editor
with review, but the students would not be
graded.
I hope theyre all there, he said. Its a lit-tle bit of a gamble.
Board member Stephanie Seidlitz said she
spoke to a few parents about the proposed
schedule, and a lot didnt know about it. She
suggested they get some feedback from par-
ents before the board approve the schedule.
I think we need to talk to the teachers and
talk to the families, Seidlitz said. Let them
see this before we vote on it.
Sikora asked Cortland Spletter, Cornell
senior and student council vice president
who was attending the meeting, if he would
go to summer school. He said he doesnt know
if he would, unless the entire class agreed on
it.
A lot of high schoolers with jobs I dont
think would come because theyre losing out
on probably close to a grand in pay checks,
Spletter said.
Dave Elliott, high school principal, said
he thinks with sports starting in the beginning
of August, a lot of students are alreadyback into school mode. He said
it is either six days early in
August, or six days later in
June.
If you gave the two options,
when would they want to go?
asked Elliott.
Each of the board members
agreed a letter should be sent to
parents with the proposed
schedule, reasons for summer
school and a comment section
before the approval is made.
I think this is a good oppor-
tunity to show Yes, we do
care, said Seidlitz. I think by
getting this out and letting fam-
ilies see it, so they can share
their concerns, is the best
thing.
An approval for the 2016-17 schedule will
be tabled until the February meeting.

Cornell student council raises funds for familiesBy Kayla Peche
Former Cornell graduate Travis Helland began a fundraiser
while he was still in school to raise money to help families
during Christmas. Now, four years later, the student council
still participates in this event, and it may extend out to help
more people.
We usually try and find a family who could use a little
help around Christmas, said Marcus Leland, student council
adviser of the fundraiser. We have done it every year that I
have been here.
This year, the student council raised over $200 for one fam-
ily, just by taking donations from students and staff during
the lunch period. Leland says council members take the
money and shop for clothes and gifts to give the family.
Cortland Spletter, student council vice president, said this
fundraiser sparked an idea to have the neighborhood raise
money to help the entire Cornell community.
We are looking to get a community fundraiser together,
Spletter said. Not sure what we are doing, but we are think-
ing of ideas.
Two on Tap for February
Ladysmith performanceThe Flambeau Valley Arts Association presents a perform-
ance by Two on Tap, Friday, Feb. 12, at 7:30 p.m. at the La-
dysmith High School. Tickets are available at the door and
student admission is free with a paid adult.
Melissa Giattina and Ron DeStefano have performed as
Two on Tap since 2010, bringing audiences back in time to
an era when couples like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers,
and Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, filled the silver screen
with chemistry, harmony and precision tap choreography. Vo-
cals, choreography, costumes and unique musical arrange-
ments all take center stage.
With classic songs from the Great American Songbook,
Two on Tap provides variety, comedy, and plenty of Broad-
way-quality song and dance.
The event is sponsored, in part, by a grant from the Wis-
consin Arts Board, with funds from the state of Wisconsin
and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Also, check out the early bird special at the Tee-Away
Golf Course and Supper Club before the show. Bring your
receipt to the concert for a reduced admission price. For any
questions call Karen at 715-532-6338.

Zones 2 and 3 added to
frozen road law Jan. 22Effective Friday, Jan. 22, Wisconsin's frozen road law ex-
panded to include numbered state and federal highways within
Zones 2 and 3. The frozen road law is already in effect in Zone
1 in the far northern portion of Wisconsin, but is not in effect for
Zones 4 and 5.
The frozen road law allows heavier loads for trucks carrying
peeled or unpeeled forest products cut crosswise (not including
woodchips), and salt and sand for winter maintenance, until ap-
proximately early March, unless cancelled early or extended be-
cause of weather conditions.
The WisDOT and county highway personnel monitor tem-
perature forecasts, along with frost tubes liquid-filled devices
under pavement to help determine when roads are adequately
frozen to accommodate heavier loads.
The declaration is issued once the ground under highway
pavement is frozen to a depth of at least 18-inches, allowing the
maximum gross weight for trucks hauling logs or salt and sand
for maintaining roads in winter to go up to 98,000 pounds on
vehicles with a minimum of five axles (from the normal 80,000
pounds).
Special permits for hauling the increased weights are not re-
quired in Zones 1, 2 and 3, however, vehicles must be legally li-
censed at 80,000 pounds to handle the increased weights.
The higher weight limits do not apply to county or local roads
unless authorized by the local agency having maintenance au-
thority. Also, higher weights may not be transported on any high-
ways or bridges specifically posted for lower weight limits.
More information can be found by calling the Frozen Road
Hotline at (608) 266-8417. Haulers with specific questions can
contact WisDOTs Oversize/Overweight Permits Unit at (608)
266-7320.

LH School Board Continued from frontclassroom management skills.
At the board meeting, Jeff Mastin, super-
intendent, said interviews had been con-
ducted that afternoon, with a likely
candidate whom they planned to offer the
position the fol lowing day.
First-time teacher and UW-La Crosse
graduate Rob Schrader, Berlin, was hired
Friday, Jan. 22, to replace Ruhoff.His last day of student teaching was
Thursday and his first day of real teaching
was Friday, said Mastin.
Nitek , who plans to retir e at the end of
the 2015-16 school year, writes that she
thoroughly enjoyed working with and
learning from her special education col-
leagues over the last 30 years.
Little did I know, when I started my edu-
cation at Lake Holcombe 60 years ago, that
I would spend some of the best times of my
life at Lake Holcombe School. These mem-
ories will always hold a special place in my
heart.
In his maintenance report, Tom Hayden
said changes have also been happening on
the building.We did add some windows last sum-
mer, said Hayden. We did add some
blinds to those now, or shadesfolks al-
ready said they can tell the difference with
the shades up or down.
The new clocks, which feature a purple
LH, match around the school, and set them-
selves, keeping every classroom at the
same time; something Hayden said was a
problem before.
I think thats been a big improvement,
said Hayden, who mentioned new clocks
had also been added to the hallways. It
looks good.
The old PA system was never main-
tained, Hayden told the board, saying
speakers were going out and the sound wasbad. It was just an old piece of equip-
ment.
Hayden said they tried to save the old
system, and considering the needs of teach-
ers and the school, found that replacing the
amp would take care of the problem.
Instead of the bell sound that was in
place, a new chime sound was install ed.
There are four choices, but Hayden said the
chime seemed the best.
You can hear the announcements better
around the school, he said, out in the
gymnasiumsoutside, for when we do the
fire drills.
Following Haydens report, the board
walked to the welding room to see changes
there, such as the new, quieter ventilationsystem, painted walls and divided welding
sections. Hayden says he would also like to
upgrade to LED lighting, but is waiting
until everything is in place.
It looks a lot nicer and its very func-
tional, said Hayden. And up to code,
which is most importantthe kids have re-
ally been helping a lot.
In his superintendents report, Mastin
thanked Spectrum Industries Inc. for their
computer furniture donation to the school,
valued at $10,745.
They called us and asked if we were in-
terested in their demonstration models,
said Mastin. We immediately said yes.
The district also received a $2,000
anonymous donation for the athletic de-partment . Were happy to see that a lso.
As a note to the voters of the district, the
board approved another three-year,
$675,000 referendum to be placed on the
April ballot.
Also up for the spring election are two
posit ions on the school board Sally
Meyer and Joe Stansbury. Stansbury has
filed his re-election papers, while Meyer
has opted out of another term, for now.
It was a great experience, said Meyer,
who has been on the board around 10 years.
I wouldnt say that I wouldnt try again.
Holcombe resident Dennis Macklin has
filed papers to run for Meyers seat, and is
already active in the school, volunteering
for after school and letting students read tohim.
I get more out of it than they do, said
Macklin. I leave here with a smileI feel
very strongly in support of the public
school system. It made a big difference in
my life and I appreciate it, so Im t rying to
give back.

Shots fall short for HornetsBy Kayla Peche
Lower than 40 percent shooting accuracy hurt the Cadott
Hornets Boys Basketball team as they took on two confer-
ence competitors for games this week.
We shot very poorly this week,
which led to a couple losses, said
Brandon Mittermeyer, head coach.
I thought other than the shooting,
we did see some improvements.Jan. 19 vs. Stanley-Boyd
(L 62-37, conference)
The Hornets had another go at the
Stanley-Boyd Orioles Jan. 19, after
a previous loss in Cadott. Unfortu-
nately, this game went similar to the
first with the boys unable to stay
ahead.
At halftime, Cadott was already
behind by 10 points. Mittermeyer
said the team didnt move enough on
defense to execute their plays.
We have to work on our half-
court sets as we are playing too sta-
tionary, he said.
In the second half, Stanley-Boyd
continued their lead, earning 37 to
Cadotts 22 points. Juniors Bryce
McChesney and Drew Sonnentag
led the team in the double-digits, but
the Hornets fell to the Orioles, 62-
37.
Jan. 22 vs. Thorp
(L 60-34, conference)
Even with home court advantage,
Cadott struggled Jan. 22 against another West Cloverbelt
Conference rival Thorp.
The Hornets couldnt catch the Cardinals closer than 10
points, despite three-point baskets from Sonnentag, who led
Cadott with nine points.
McChesney scored seven for the night, while sophomore
Matt Drilling and senior Shawn Sedlacek added five each,
but Thorps defense held Cadott to their lowest scoring this
season in the 60-34 loss.
Cadott played in Lake Holcombe Jan. 26, and will host
Regis Jan. 28.
Chiefs show young talentBy Kayla Peche
The Cornell Chiefs Boys Basketball team played two non-
conference competitors this week, which senior player Cort-
land Spletter said gave them a chance to improve.
It was a good game to practice on everything we need to
work on, said Spletter.Jan. 21 vs. Lac Courte Oreilles (W 79-39, non-conference)
Cornell gave their younger players a chance to showcase
their talents Jan. 21, during a non-conference game against
Lac Courte Oreilles.
It felt good, said Kyle Glaus, Chiefs freshman, about
gaining more playing time. It was a chance to show what I
had.
Glaus let his talents shine in the game, earning a career-high
23 points. He says he is motivated to get better and not let his
team down as Cornell moves toward the end of the season.
I am proud of my team and cant wait to keep playing with
them, said Glaus.
The Chiefs had five players with at least six points for the
evening. Juniors Noah Nohr and Trenton Glaus scored 17 and
12 points, respectively. Spletter added seven points and junior
Mitch Swanson had six in the 79-39 victory.
We passed really well as a team and spread the scoringout, said Spletter. It was also really nice to get some of the
younger kids in too.
Jan. 23 vs. Augusta (L 72-55, non-conference)
Cornell was off to a bad start Jan. 23 against the Augusta
Beavers, falling behind by 17 points at halftime.
In the second half, the boys stayed with the Beavers, nailing
the same baskets for 32 points each. Senior Colton Hetke led
Cornell with 18 points, while Nohr and Swanson added 11.
With the early lead advantage, Augusta maintained an upper
hand over the Chiefs and secured the 72-55 win.
Jumping back into conference play, Cornell will host New
Auburn Jan. 26 and Lake Holcombe Jan. 29.

Chieftains battle before
long conference lineupBy Kayla Peche
The Lake Holcombe boys basketball team had two toughnon-conference contests this week, before heading into a long
line of East Lakeland Conference battles, starting with rival
Cornell, Jan. 29.
Jan. 19 vs. Clear Lake (L 82-70, non-conference)
The Chieftains were faced with comeback competition Jan.
19, when they trailed Clear Lake by 13 points at halftime.
We started slow in the second half, said junior Jeremiah
Reedy. But they hit a three every time we hit a two, so they
just ran away with the game pretty much.
Although senior Nick Seng had 26 points, Reedy had 21
and junior Reece Kinney had 18, the gap was too much and
the Lakers took the non-conference win, 82-70.
Jan. 25 vs. Prairie Farm (L 94-54, non-conference)
With almost a week-long break, Mondays game, Jan. 25
against Prairie Farm, still looked similar to their previous
match, as Lake Holcombe fell behind early.
Prairie Farm led with an almost 30-point lead at halftimeover the Chieftains. The Panthers didnt surrender in the sec-
ond half either, dominating the boards with 48 total points.
Despite Reedy with 18 and Kinney with 16 to lead the re-
covery charge, the Chieftains began from too far behind, los-
ing 94-54 for the night.
Lake Holcombe hosted Cadott Jan. 26, before traveling to
Cornell Jan. 29 to start their four conference match lineup.

Cadott girls earn confidence boostBoyceville and Cadott exchanged the lead from then on,
but with less than a minute left, senior Elizabeth Kyes nailed
a basket and brought the Hornets ahead, 52-50.
The Bulldogs started to foul, bringing Cadott to the free-
throw line. With mere seconds on the clock, Cadotts defense
held Boycevilles offensive and Kyes made a pair of free
throws to win the game, 58-54.
Jan. 21 vs. Fall Creek (L 69-38, conference)
Before the Boyceville win, Cadott senior Charlene Holteinjured her knee during a Sunday shoot-around, taking her
out for two games. Hazuga said Charlene was cleared to play
against Fall Creek Jan. 21, but he wanted to wait.
I want her to heal up a little more, he said.
With Holte benched, the Hornets suffered and were held
to only six points in the first half, while Fall Creek dominated
the board with 34.
It was extremely hard to sit out our last two games, said
Holte. Being a starter and playing almost the whole game,
every game, to not being able to play at all is hard. I almost
feel Im letting my team down not being able to be on the
court with them.
The Hornets picked it up in the second half by scoring five
times more than they did before halftime. Kyes led the team
with 14 points, followed by Kramer with six and senior
Chelsey Goettl with five.
Fall Creek still kept a gap between them and Cadott, lead-ing to the 69-38 loss for the Hornets.
Jan. 22 vs. Owen-Withee (L 69-51, non-conference)
Cadott fell behind again early Jan. 22 against Owen-
Withee. Despite putting up eight three pointers, the Hornets
couldnt catch the Blackhawks 19-point starting lead.
The Hornets defense did step up in the second half, hold-
ing Owen-Withee to 25 points versus the 44 points they re-
ceived in the first half.
Even though the Hornets lost 69-51, Kyes scored 30 points,
including three three-pointers. Goettl and Rineck each scored
eight points, while freshman Jenna Sedlacek had five.
The Hornets traveled to Altoona Jan. 26, and will host
Mondovi Jan. 29.
Cornells tale of two halvesBy Kayla Peche
Marcus Leland, Cornell head coach, said the Jan. 21 game
was a tale of two halves, but it was really the tale of twogames for the Chiefs girls basketball team this week as they
came back to win against one and then fell in defeat against
the other.
Jan. 21 vs. Lac Courte Oreilles (W 42-34, non-confer-
ence)
Overall, it was a great team effort to get the win, said
Leland about the Jan. 21 game against Lac Courte Oreilles.
We pushed through our rough first half and came out with a
different mentality in the second half.
In the second half, the Chiefs switched their defense and
sophomore Kierra Walters stepped up to stop LCOs
Shaylena Corbine.
Corbine had 12 points in the first half of the game and
only two in the second, Leland
said. We were just far more aggres-
sive in the second half.
Cornell was down by 14 points athalftime, but came back to take a
42-34 win in the non-conference
competition. The Chiefs defense fu-
eled the victory as they held their
opponent to only eight points in the
second half.
Senior Lexi Moussette led Cor-
nell with 16 points, seven rebounds
and three steals, while junior Abby
Klein added 13 points and 13 re-
bounds. Freshman Cheyenne Pelo-
quin added five of her seven points
during the second half, along with
17 rebounds and three steals.
I am hoping that we can use this
win as a confidence builder and
keep the girls working hard as wemove forward, said Leland.
Jan. 23 vs. Augusta (L 60-17,
non-conference)
Over the weekend, the girls trav-
eled to Augusta Jan. 23, for another
non-conference match up.
The Chiefs were held to only
three baskets in the first half, which
was a far cry from the Beavers 32
points.
Klein led the team with eight,
which was over half of Cornells
total score. With only 11 points
added to the scoreboard in the sec-
ond half, the Chiefs fell to Augusta,
60-17.
Cornell will host their next twogames with New Auburn Jan. 26
and Lake Holcombe Jan. 29.
Victory comes after halftime lead
By Kayla Peche
The Cadott girls basketball team had a three-game chal-
lenge this week, but it all started with a W in the victory col-
umn for the Hornets.
Jan. 19 vs. Boyceville (W 58-54, non-conference)
In the final minutes, Cadott rallied back to defeat the
Boyceville Bulldogs Jan. 19 for a non-conference victory.
The girls earned it, said Dave Hazuga, head coach. It
was a confidence boost.The Hornets started the night behind by six points at half-
time, but soon tied the game in the second half. Sophomore
Alexis Kramer led the charge, hitting four of her six three-
point shots, while sophomores Kallie Patrie and Cailin Ri-
neck contributed inside baskets.
We had great pressure defense on the ball, said Hazuga.
We had everyone contribute in different ways. Boyceville
had a strong post game and good outside shooting thats a
combination we have trouble with.

season, Cadott freshman Jenna Sedlacek cuts offa Boyceville point guard from scoring during a Jan.19 game. The Hornets rallied back to win the non-conference play, 58-54. (Photo by Kayla Peche)

The Lake Holcombe Chieftains Girls Basketball team is mid-way through the sea-
son, which means re-matches against previous teams are beginning, and the girls
saw their second re-match this week, against Prairie Farm.
Jan. 19 vs. Clear Lake (W 58-41, non-conference)
The Chieftains pushed forward for a 10-point lead at halftime, priming them for
a non-conference win Jan. 19 against Clear Lake.
We hustled hard, said Jay Geist, head coach. The girls played real well.
Junior Hannah Lee led Lake Holcombe with 21 points for the night. Together, the
team made 17 of 25 free throws, which Geist said helped toward the 58-41 victory.
Jan. 25 vs. Prairie Farm
(L 53-36, non-conference)
Previously, the Chieftains
fell to Prairie Farm by almost
30 points in December, but
this time around, the girls
kept the scoreboard close.
Lee dominated on offense
again, hitting 15 points to
lead Lake Holcombe. Senior
Bailey Viegut followed with
six, and seniors Kayla Vavra
and Jordan Geist added four.
The Chieftains stayed
neck-and-neck with the Pan-
thers, before Prairie Farm
took a 10-point lead at half-
time. The second half was a
lower scoring game for both
teams, but Lake Holcombe
couldnt recover, falling in
the non-conference contest,
53-36.
Lake Holcombe will travel
to Cornell Jan. 29, and Flam-
beau Feb. 2, for East Lake-land Conference play.

Sheriff advises caution to those on area waterwaysThe Chippewa County Sheriffs Department and the Wis-
DNR encourage anglers to be careful on area waterways this
winter. Because of this years El Nino weather pattern, the
area saw one of the warmest Decembers on record, resulting
in less-than-normal ice depths on area lakes.
That warm weather pattern is expected to return over the
next few weeks.
Parking vehicles closely together on the ice is never a
good idea, advises a release from the sherriffs office. If
you see vehicles driving on a frozen body of water, it doesnt
mean that the ice will support multiple vehicles parked in one
area.The grouped vehicles puts a tremendous load in one small
area, which may cause otherwise solid ice to fail. In February
2012, Lake Winnebago had a collapse during an ice fishing
contest when 36 parked vehicles broke through the ice. There
was approximately 12 inches of ice on the lake.
In Wisconsin, sunken vehicles must be removed within 30
days. Removal from the lake bottom is performed by private
contractors with divers, winches and cranes. Costs range from
$1,000 to $5,000, depending on location and water depth.
Wisconsin DNR warden Kevin Christorf offers the follow-
ing guidelines for those on the ice:
Dont travel in unfamiliar areas.
Avoid inlets, outlets and narrows. Increased current in
these areas can thin the ice.
Dont go alone and take a cell phone if available. Make
sure someone knows where you are and when you are ex-
pected to return.
Carry basic safety gear, including ice claws or picks, a
life jacket and rope.
Clear ice is generally stronger than ice with snow or bub-
bles in it, warns the release, But remember that no ice is
ever 100 percent safe. Remember to watch for pressure ridges
which may form as the ice warms during the day.
Heading to finals with confidenceBy Kayla Peche
As the season winds down, the Wolfpack wrestlers are los-
ing teammates to the injury bug, limiting their chances to
succeed in the final duals. But head coach Greg Sonnentag
said the team plans to be in full force by the Lakeland Con-
ference matches.
We hope to have everyone back and healthy by the con-
ference tournament, Sonnentag said. The boys have beenworking hard.
Jan. 21 vs. Northwood-Solon Springs (W 54-6)
The Jan. 21 dual in Northwood was a one-and-done type
meet, with Cornell-Lake Holcombe-Gilman only wrestling
one match against Northwood-Solon Springs.
Sophomore Alex Gehrt won his match by pinfall within
the first period over his competitor, Bobby Pearson. The
other matches were all forfeits, leading the Wolfpack to a 54-
6 victory.
Greg Sonnentag said the St. Croix Tournament would be a
tough challenge for the team because two top wrestlers (ju-
nior Takoda Lee and sophomore Zach Person) would be out.
Lee was out for family reasons, and 132-pound Person in-
jured his elbow.
Hopefully, the hard work pays off this weekend, said
Sonnentag. And we can head into our dual with Cameron
and the conference tournament with some confidence.Jan. 23 St. Croix Tournament
The Wolfpack landed in 15th place with 34 points over the
weekend at the St. Croix Falls Wrestling Classic. The team
was limited with only six varsity wrestlers available to com-
pete.
Freshman Sam Pickerign and junior Matt Kostka each took
fourth place for Cornell-Lake Holcombe-Gilman during the
20-school tournament.
At 106 pounds, Pickerign won his first match by fall over
Chetek-Weyerhaeuser/Prairie Farm in 23 seconds, then won
the quarterfinal dual against Cumberlands Logan Steglich
to land the fourth-place spot.
Kostka also won his first two matches of the day before
falling against the second two competitors.
Cornell-Lake Holcombe-Gilman will host Cameron Jan.28, then will have a short break before the Lakeland Confer-
ence tournament Feb. 6 at Cameron.
Hornet wrestlers up for the challengeBy Kayla Peche
The Cadott Hornets Wrestling team traveled to Arcadia this
weekend ready for a challenge, but not before a battle broke
out on the mat against Spencer-Columbus.
Jan. 21 vs. Spencer-Columbus Catholic (L 44-15)
The Hornets traveled to Spencer Jan. 21, and took on the
Spencer-Columbus Catholic Rockets.
The night started out with a pinfall against freshman Zak
Schofield, but senior Brandon Pederson picked up a 12-8 de-cision win over Spencer-Columbus Caden Schilli
