Fire damages daycare

By Heather Dekan
A fire broke out at Building Blocks Early
Learning Center in Cadott Thursday, March
19, shortly after kids and employees went
home for the day.
The Cadott Fire Department was called to
the center just after 6 p.m. and battled the fire
for close to an hour, which started in one of
the classrooms. Smoke from the fire caused
heavy damage to much of the building, and
one of the classrooms.
We do not have a cause of the fire yet, it
is still under investigation, said Rick Sommerfeld, Cadott fire chief. The building is
still sound structurally, and one room received most of the damage. Theres a lot of
heat damage throughout the building, but the
fire was pretty much confined to one room,
so we had a pretty quick knock-down on it.
An employee at the daycare says the
Cadott Elementary School opened an empty
room for the 4K kids from Building Blocks
to finish out the year.
The kids were able to start right away

Monday, said Jenney Larson, Cadott Elementary principal. Kris Horan (owner of the
daycare) had her teacher that worked with
those 4K kids come over and she is now
working out of that classroom with those students.
Ireally appreciate all the support from all
of our teachers, staff members and everyone
else in helping us to welcome them to our
building and making them feel supported.
Iknow Kris would probably say the same
thing; its a very positive thing considering
the circumstances.
Cadott superintendent Damon Smith also
says its about the community coming together to help the students out.
It just boils down to being a neighbor and
about coming together as a community in a
time of need,said Smith. To help out those
4K kids and making sure there is a continuation of service with a minimal amount of

Lake Holcombe School Board
Staff counts minutes with proposed schedule

By Monique Westaby
A proposed schedule for the Lake Holcombe School District could add six days to a students schedule, but not how
you might think.
At a regular board meeting March 16, the Lake Holcombe
School Board showed support for a possible schedule change
next year that would keep students at school until 3:21 p.m.,
as opposed to the current release time of 3:08 p.m.
Barb VanDoorn, guidance counselor, says the change in
schedule counts minutes rather than school days, and would
allow for elementary to have recess, and possibly an earlier
summer break release.
We didnt want to start earlier, said VanDoorn. The day
starts awfully early for kids anyway, especially high school

and Jr. high.
Over the course of the year were going to have more
minutes; were going to have more student contact minutes.
That adds up to almost six days extra contact time with students.
VanDoorn says with the extra time, the school can then
take off days at the end of the year, use it for more collaberative time and data evaluation, or eliminate the need for subs
while a teachers time is required elsewhere.
The biggest thing is that there was strong support among
staff to have this extension, said VanDoorn.

Rate increase could be in Cornells future

Higher rates could be in Cornells future after the Cornell
City Council discussed raising utility rates at their regular
meeting March 19. The action came after preliminary figures
in an audit determined the town used less volumes of water
than projected.
Things have changed since our last rate case, said Dave
DeJongh, city administrator. The big item is the water treatment. You got a $2 million water treatment facility that
youre paying interest payments on every year, and in terms
of capital investment, you have a huge depreciation expense
that factors into what they want to see on their investment.
Normally, a rate case would cost around $8,000 in paper-
work, but by filling out a form and submitting it on behalf of

the city water utility, if qualified, Cornell would receive a 3
percent maximum increase.
I think the key now with this new vehicle available to utilities in Wisconsin, instead of waiting five to eight years to
do a rate case and maybe get a 15-20 percent bump all at
once, you look at smaller ones on an annual basis, said DeJongh. And if you dont need the revenue, then you dont
put one together or you try to figure out a way to sell more
water.
The council authorized DeJongh to submit a simplified rate
case and will wait for his report before making any rate

OPINION
COURIER SENTINEL
And thats why you should always have a camera on hand

By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
I love photography. The
thought of capturing one
single moment through the
lens of a camera, and having that moment forever, is
thrilling.
Whether its that perfect snapshot of your
moms expression opening a gift, your friends
game-winning, gravel-flying slide into home
base, or a barred owl camouflaged amongst a
group of birch trees, always having a camera at
hand is priceless.
My mom was always a camera person, but I
recall several times on our half-hour commute
to school hearing her say, Oh! I wish I had a
camera. It always came in regard to the perfect
lighting on an old house, a beautiful sunrise or
set, or a majestic eagle soaring across an open
field.
Since that point, I always told myself I would
never be caught without a camera.
Aside from the ever popular disposable cameras, my first real camera was a 35 mm film
Canon from my dad. I took it everywhere with
me and went through film like it was going out
of style (who knew it actually was).
Then came the digital era, and I switched
over to the memory card and computer. Mostly
just capturing pictures of vacations and friends,
it wasnt until several years ago that my husband purchased me a digital single-lens reflex
(DSLR) Canon. In camera lingo, that means an
expensive camera that takes better than your
average pictures, but not as fancy as a high-tech
fashion photographer.
With this new camera came the chance to
capture a bird in flight, without blurred wings,
or a volleyball in mid-air ready to be smacked
down against the other team.
Since getting the camera, about four years
ago, its rolled over 10,000 pictures taken at
least six times. It goes everywhere with me and
I use it for everything from fun happenings with

friends, to news coverage, to nature photos.
But you dont need a fancy camera to take
pictures. Sometimes the best camera you have
is just to have one with you.
Most phones come equipped with a camera
these days, and over time, as phones have been
upgraded, so have their cameras. The LG G3
smart phone comes with a 13 megapixel camera, and one of the best display qualities available. The iPhone 6 also features an excellent
display with camera, and engages 8 megapixels
on its rear-facing camera.
So are 13 better than eight? And what is a
megapixel?
Megapixels are the number of pixels that
compose a photograph. Like little dots that
make up one big scene, the higher the number,
the more dots. The more dots, essentially, the
clearer the image.
But megapixels are really only important based
on what you want to do with those photos. If you
want to take a picture and print a poster, youll
want higher megapixels. But if you plan to just
use your pictures for online social media or 4x6
inch prints, then lower counts arent an issue.
According to digicamhelp.com, 8 megapixels
notice the world in a different light. You notice

the sparrow sitting on the fence, or the little girl
feeding her dog a lick of her ice cream cone.
And just when you think youve noticed everything you can, you realize there are three eagle
nests on your way to work.
Did you know there are three eagles nests
within 6 miles of Cornell? Take Highway 178
south and you can spot them all. In fact two can
be seen without even leaving the city limits.
Check out the pine tree just north of the blue
bridge. And just as youre about to hit the Y of
Highways 64 and 178, look to the east and
theres another nestled into a tall pine.
The last one (at least that Ive noticed so far)
is located across from the ZZ intersection on
the Chippewa River. Often there is an adult
eagle with its young, sitting overlooking the
river surveying the area.
When you have a camera at hand, you look
for the unique in life. You look for something
to take a picture of, and in return, you find
much more than you ever imagined.
You dont need anything expensive or fancy,
but to truly enjoy everything life offers, you
should always have a camera available at the
push of a button.
Plastic eggs and a whole lot of memories

By Ginna Young
Every year when spring
rolls around and the stores
stock their shelves with the
pastel, neon and camouflage plastic eggs ready to
be filled with candy, I cant
help but giggle and gaffaw
my way through the aisles. I know, you
wouldnt think plastic eggs would be amusing,
but they are at least in my family.
There are a few Easters that especially stand
out in my memory and they all involve plastic
eggs, or rather the circumstances surrounding

them.
Probably the funniest recollection is when we
hunted eggs the year Dad went for a drive without knowing he had a little purple plastic companion on the outside of the truck. The minute
he got back, we searched every nook and
cranny of the 4x4, but to no avail.
He felt bad about losing one of our eggs, so
all nine of us piled into my sisters mini van and
retraced his route. While Dad slowly drove
through town, the rest of us kept our eyes peeled
along the roadside for our missing purple egg.
We finally admitted defeat, and as we turned
back onto the road home, one of us spotted an
egg in a ditch; only one problem...it was fluorescent yellow. Close enough! We never found
the runaway purple egg, but we did fall heir to
an orphaned yellow one.
Another year, my sister decided her car would
make a good hiding place during the annual
family egg hunt and placed one on the front
bumper. It promptly rolled inside the grooves
of the car, never to be seen again.
Those two instances taught us its not wise to
use a vehicle for hiding Easter eggs.
A couple years in a row, several months after
Easter, we found some eggs we didnt even
know wed lost, and thought those gorgeous little speckled eggs must come from some rare
bird until we looked closer and realized those
eggs were laid by a machine.
Then there was the time the neighbor kids
came over and hunted eggs with us. In addition
to candy, we also slipped in little pieces of paper
with numbers on them. Once all the eggs were
found, the kids emptied their eggs, and those
with a certain number got a prize.
To make sure everyone got something, the
one who found the most eggs received a pencil;
the one who found the least amount received a
pencil; the oldest child in the hunt received a
pencil; and the youngest child in the hunt received you guessed it a pencil.
By that point, one of my teenage nieces began
to see a pattern forming and started to get agitated. She expressed her dismay that the only
prizes seemed to be pencils, and good-naturedly
informed us of her intent to sulk the rest of the
day if she didnt get some real prizes.
My sisters and I shared a look with each

other, and by mutual unspoken agreement, decided to give her a consolation prize for being a
good sport. The prize was, of course, a pencil.
And I can never forget the time we invited my
brother-in-laws mother to join the children in
gathering eggs, never dreaming an elegantly
dressed older lady would want to spend Easter
outside in the cold and muddy lawn. Her eyes
lit up, she swapped her good shoes for a pair of
sneakers, pulled a jacket over her Sunday dress,
took a collection sack and headed outside with
the kids.
It still makes me grin to remember her racing
around the yard in her Easter best, snatching
eggs before the little ones could get to them.
She ran around with a huge smile on her face,
and no surprise, collected the most eggs that
day.
It was always more fun for me to be the hider
instead of the finder, and I was glad when I was
deemed old enough to handle the responsibility
of concealing the eggs. My sisters and I would
become very devious, covertly tucking the eggs
in unlikely places, spots so good even we forgot
where they were. Wed go strong for about five
minutes, then get bored and start tossing them
randomly in the grass. It never got old watching
the kids race past the ones lying in plain sight
to look under rocks and up trees.
It was also fun watching my niece on her first
egg hunt oohing and aahing over the bright colored eggs, patting them before she placed them
in her little basket. It was hysterical to watch her
pick up an egg over and over again because she
was too small to hold the basket without tipping
it; she never did figure out it was the same egg
each time.
Whether its remembering lost but never forgotten eggs, first time egg gatherers, or the year
Grandma earned the title of Champion Hunter,
the Easter tradition represents some of my favorite times.
Even though most of the kids are grown up
and moved away now, the stories live on and
grow more precious each year. So forgive me if
I chuckle in the Easter section at the store, but
sometimes plastic eggs can bring back a whole
lot of memories.

Three arrested in Bateman gas station armed robbery
Cody Boehm
Zachary Williams
Jonathan Rowan
The Chippewa County Sheriffs Department has identified

three males who robbed a local gas station March 14, in the
Town of Lafayette.
Cody M. Boehm, 19; Zachary S. Williams, 21; and
Jonathan M. Rowan, 19; all of Chippewa Falls, were arrested
after an investigation into an armed robbery turned up their
names.
On Monday, March 16, the Chippewa County Sheriffs
Office received information on a possible suspect in possession of items associated with the armed robbery, said Lt.
Rick Starck in a press release. That information led
Chippewa County Sheriff investigators to a residence in Buffalo County.
From there, with the cooperation of the Buffalo County
Sheriffs Office and the Eau Claire Regional Swat Team, a
no-knock search warrant was issued and a male was taken
into custody and interviewed.
Information gathered then led to the Town of Lafayette,
where another search warrant resulted in evidence such as
the suspected weapon (airsoft), alcohol, money, carrying
bags and clothing matching those used in the robbery.
Starck says a second male was taken into custody March
17, and another airsoft weapon was seized. Later that day,
more items were found in the Village of Colfax, and about
three hours later, a third suspect was taken into custody.
According to the original robbery release from the
Chippewa County Sheriffs Office, three darkly dressed
males entered the Bateman Express Mart on County Highway X while the clerk was closing, and stole an undisclosed
amount of money. They then fled on foot before officers arrived.
The incident is still under investigation.
John N. Johnsons vehicle sits mangled after being

removed from a crash site in the Town of Ruby.
Johnson, of Gilman, was flown to Marshfield for his
injuries, and the crash remains under investigation,
but alcohol is believed to have been a factor.

Work Zone Awareness Week March 23 to 27

To help prevent traffic crashes in road construction and
maintenance work zones that injure and kill motorists and
workers, Gov. Scott Walker has proclaimed March 23 to 27
as Work Zone Awareness Week in Wisconsin.
Walkers proclamation notes that work zones may consist
of short-term, localized projects involving local maintenance
crews or utility workers or large highway reconstruction projects lasting months or years.
Last year in Wisconsin, there were 2,264 work zone
crashes that killed 12 people and injured 832, according to
statistics from the WisDOT.
To help make work zones safer, the WisDOT periodically
displays messages on electronic signs on highways, and uses
its social media channels to remind drivers to slow down and
pay attention.
In addition, officers from the Wisconsin State Patrol and
other law enforcement agencies will be deployed in work

zones to enforce speed limits and other traffic laws. Pilots
from the State Patrol Air Support Unit will also fly aerial enforcement missions over and around work zones.
The goal of our work zone safety enforcement and public
education efforts is to motivate drivers to behave responsibly, says Mark Gottlieb, WisDOT secretary. Driving
through a work zone is challenging under the best of circumstances, but your reaction time and margin for error are reduced significantly if you speed, tailgate or dont pay
attention to rapidly changing traffic situations. Because of
the risks to motorists and workers, traffic fines are double in
work zones.
Letter to the Editor
Last month, 25 people died in traffic crashes in Wisconsin,

which was the third safest month of February in terms of traffic fatalities in the last 10 years, according to preliminary statistics from the WisDOT.
Last month also tied for the fourth safest month of February since the end of World War II, when the modern highway
transportation system started. The safest month of February
since the end of World War II was last year, with 20 fatalities.
The deadliest was in 1968, with 73 fatalities.
As of Feb. 28, 61 people have died in traffic fatalities during 2015, including seven pedestrians and one bicyclist.
The official start of spring is March 20, so it likely will
not be too long before we see more bicyclists, pedestrians,
scooter riders and motorcyclists traveling on Wisconsin
roads, says David Pabst, director of the WisDOT Bureau of
Transportation Safety. Drivers will need to watch for them,
especially at intersections, and while making turns or lane
changes.
Pabst says bicyclists, pedestrians, scooter riders and motorcyclists must also obey all traffic signals and other laws.
We all must share the road safely.
Letter to the Editor;

Day by Day we are losing our Civil rights and freedoms
given to us by our forefathers in the Constitution, the right to
bear arms, religious freedom, reciting the pledge of allegiance and saluting our American Flag among a few.
Ammunition and guns companies are being targeted, some
college professors want to ban displaying the American Flag,
and a teacher in an eastern state had the students reciting our
pledge of Allegiance in Arabic.
Judges are steadily overturning laws passed by a majority
of voters in many States including Wisconsin telling us that
our vote doesnt count.
We need judges like Judge James Daley who believes in
serving our states citizens while upholding the values and
principles that are so important to us. That is why it is so vital
that we elect Judge Daley to the Wisconsin Supreme Court
on Election Day, April 7th.
Ann Walsh Bradley has consistently ruled against businesses, and farmers would have to pay hundreds of millions
more in taxes and many businesses have left the state in order
to survive.
Wisconsin citizens deserve an impartial and well functioning state Supreme Court that upholds the rule of law and defends the Constitution of the Untied States. Judge James
Daley is the right judge for this job.

John N. Johnson, 37, Gilman, was airlifted to St. Josephs

Hospital in Marshfield after he was involved in a one vehicle
accident March 19. The crash happened at the intersection of
290th Avenue and County Highway VV, in the Town of Ruby.
According to a press release from Sheriff James Kowalczyk, with the Chippewa County Sheriffs Office, Johnson,
the lone occupant of the vehicle, was unresponsive and
callers could not open the doors.
With the assistance of the Chippewa County Sheriffs Office, Sheldon Fire Department, Rusk County Ambulance
Service and Cornell Police Department, he was removed
from the vehicle and taken to Rusk County Memorial Hospital in Ladysmith, before being flown to Marshfield. As of
deadline, there were no further updates on his condition.
Kowalczyk says the incident remains under investigation,
and alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash, as Johnson
was arrested for his fourth offense of operating while under
the influence of an intoxicant.

LH School Board - Continued from Front

Jeff Mastin, superintendent, said he and
principal Mark Porter support the change as
well, and that other conference schools also
have similar start and end times. Wed like
to have your (board) support to bring this
schedule to the calendar committee...and
hopefully get that out to parents no later than
the April board meeting.
Extra-curricular and distance travel were
also considered, and VanDoorn said most
schedules will have music or study hall at the
end of the day, so class time wouldn't be
missed.
The board also approved hiring a new,
full-time maintenance worker, which Tom
Hayden, head of maintenance, says hes
pretty excited about. The new employee,
Jesse Endvick, is married to Danielle (Begalke) Endvick, a 2006 alumni of Lake Holcombe.
Theyll bring in some younger students
to the district, said Hayden, and brings
them back to the area. Im pretty
excited...maybe fill my shoes some day.
Three resignations were also accepted by
the board, including Ed Lanzer as the high
school history teacher, Linda Boettcher as
the middle school special education teacher,
and Mary Kostka as the middle school girls
basketball coach.
In his resignation letter, Lanzer writes:
I will be retiring from my teaching position
at the end of the 2014-15 school year. I have
greatly enjoyed my time teaching at Lake
Holcombe over the past 34 years. I appreciate the opportunity I was given to become
an influential educator in the lives of the
many students who passed through the Holcombe school system.
Boettcher says her retirement will also be
effective at the end of the school year, and
that she has greatly enjoyed her time at
Lake Holcombe over the past 31 years and
will miss the students and staff.
Kostka did not provide a reason for her
resignation as basketball coach.
On other agenda, the board thanked the
estate of Donald Tiny Albrecht for a
$7,617.97 donation for the agriculture department; this is the first of two investment
donations from his estate. The Holcombe
Flowage Chapter of Whitetails Unlimited
was also thanked for their $600 donation to
take students to the Trails End camping trip
and their $878.74 donation for elementary
snowshoes.
All-Conference and All-Conference Honorable Mention recipients were recognized
at the meeting, for the 2014-15 basketball
season. All-Conference earners are Nick
Seng and Jeremiah Reedy. Honorable Mention recipients are Sarah Stender, Hannah
Lee, Jay Kent and William Hattamer.
Also, congratulations goes out to 13
members of our forensics team, said
Mastin, who qualified for state and will
travel to Madison to compete in the State
Forensics Tournament.

Spaghetti dinner funds

travel around the world
By Kayla Peche
Would you want to take a trip to Chicago or even China?
Well, the Cadott Travel Club plans to take those trips, but
needs some community help first.
The Cadott Travel Club is a newly formed club in 2015,
and was founded by Stephanie Kempe and Alisha Neinfeldt,
high school teachers. Although the official travel club wasnt
established yet, Kempe led a trip to Europe a few years back
and decided to run another trip to Costa Rica last summer.
Our goal is to promote the wonderful benefits of group
travel for these young 21st century learners, said Kempe.
In hopes that they will continue to learn and grow from their
high school experiences and reach their full potential.
Kempe and Neinfeldt say that donations for the trips are
very important, which is why they are holding a spaghetti
dinner, art show and raffle March 27, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.,
at the Cadott High School.
We are trying to focus on community involvement and
activities by hosting events like bowling tournaments and
spaghetti dinners, said Kempe. The money that is made
from these events is distributed to the students who work the
events. We enjoy getting people of the community together
and it gives them a chance to speak with the students as well.
The dinner will have spaghetti, salad, vegetables, bread,
dessert and a beverage, and is set to start at 5 p.m. A raffle
will be drawn by 7 p.m., and following the dinner, there will
be a drama performance of Into the Woods, Jr. by Cadott
High School students in the auditorium. All proceeds from
dinner ticket prices will benefit the travel club.
The Chicago trip planned for this summer will cost about
$450 for each student, which includes hotel, all admission on
the trip, and a few meals. If interested in traveling to Chicago
with the club, contact Kempe at kempes@cadott.k12.wi.us.
The China trip planned for June 20-28, in 2016, will cost
around $4,000 per student with everything included. Neinfeldt says it may seem like a lot but is significantly cheaper
than traveling alone or with a family. Students have until May
2016 to fundraise. There are also a few spots available if anyone in the community is interested in the China trip, contact
Neinfeldt at neinfeldta@cadott.k12.wi.us.
Its really all about the students and what opportunities
we can offer them before they leave Cadott, said Neinfeldt.
Advertising / News Deadline

The deadline for news articles and display ad copy is 12 p.m.
on Monday. Classified ads must be in no later than 12 p.m. on
Monday. All copy must be placed in the Cornell/Lake Holcombe office or Cadott office by deadline to ensure placement in the Courier
Sentinel paper the same week.
ages can meet and greet the big white rabbit.

We have had the same Easter Bunny since 2001, said
Katie Matott, referral manager for the center. And she plans
on making an appearance again this year.
Festivities begin at the center at 9 a.m., with a pancake
breakfast, followed by kids games and crafts from 10-11 a.m.
We are hoping to have this outside this year, said Matott.
We have had snow the past three years and everything had
to be moved inside. If the weather cooperates, we will have
some inflatable bouncy houses and crawl tunnels with some
other activities.
The free egg hunt will start at 11 a.m. for kids up to age
10. The younger kids will hunt first, followed by separate
groups based on age.
A free raffle will conclude the event at noon, with Easter
baskets filled with goodies for kids to win.
This is sponsored by several area businesses, Matott said.
Every year we are amazed at how generous our local businesses are.
The donations from these businesses go toward everything
but the pancake breakfast, which Matott says has a small fee,
to pay for the cost.
But its a delicious meal and well worth it, says Matott.
We are proud to host this great event here, and our team and
residents love inviting the community here.
Although she says its a whirlwind of activity, Matott
says they all love it, and to not forget your rubber boots,
just in case.
Open house for interested

foreign exchange families
You may not have the time or money to travel to international locations, but you do have the opportunity to travel
around the world without leaving your home.
In the Educatius International program, families are paired
with international students for a semester or school year, to
share their culture with host families and vice versa.
Hosting one of these students makes for a very good experience, said Tracy Styka of Canfield, who was a host to a
teenage girl fromThailand. A lot of them want to attend college here and this program helps give them the cultural experience to prepare them for that endeavor.
Educatius International will have students coming to Cornell and McDonell Central Catholic Schools for the 2015-16
school year. Host families receive a monthly stipend, per student they host, to help offset the expense of the student living
in the home. Students also come with their own spending
money and are fully insured.
To find out more about the program, Educatius International is holding an open house March 28, from 3 p.m. to 6
p.m. Those interested can attend and try foods, ask questions
and hear about the experience of hosting international students. It is also an opportunity to meet current and previous
international students, who live and have lived, in the area.
This introduces people to the students world in an intimate, personal way, said Gregory, who has hosted six students in the past. When people watch the news and hear
stories about the world, the Educatius program puts a face to
those articles.
For location, directions
and to RVSP to the open
house, call or text Anita at
715-271-6098, or Cheryl at
715-579-0016. For more information on the Educatius
program, visit educatius.

ChaliceStream Studio to
host Physicality of Acting
ChaliceStream Studio, five miles south of Ladysmith on
Deertail Road, will hold workshops on The Physicality of
Acting, beginning March 30, from 3-4:30 p.m. Instructor
Michael Doran will assist participants in utilizing props as a
means of finding truth onstage.
The sessions are open to persons with stage experience, as
well as novices. Interested parties may call to request an alternate meeting time, if required.
The weekly workshops are designed to teach participants
the effective use of common objects, such as a glass or cup,
to lend reality to play acting, and as a means of discovering
the natural interplay between the handling of a prop and the
delivery of a line.
There is no charge for the workshop, however, a donation
is appreciated.
For more information, call 715-532-6863.

Rune Ron Carl Ruud
Rune Ron Carl Ruud, 91,
Eau Claire, passed away
Thursday, March 19.
Ron was born Dec. 24,
1923, in Stockholm, Sweden.
He received his education in
Stockholm, and graduated
from Stockholm University
with a degree in business administration and a minor in
chemistry, after which he was
inducted into the mandatory
military service in Sweden.
He volunteered to serve in a unit
on the border of Sweden and Norway during World War II, bringing
families in occupied Norway to
safety. By the end of the war, 60,000
Norwegians were helped across the border into neutral Sweden.
Ron came to the United States in February 1947, as a management trainee for a Swedish paper company. He had an immigration visa and an American sponsor in New York,
Stanley Blankenship, who was to guide him in his graduate
studies and work. He became an American citizen in 1955.
Ron came to Cornell in 1948, to study a new pulping
process being done at Cornell Paperboard Products Company.
He embraced life in Cornell and became active in community affairs and sports programs, where he met his future father-in-law, Dr. E.J. Mittermeyer, and his family.
He and Ann Mittermeyer were married Jan. 23, 1954, and
they raised their children in Cornell. He was an only child,
and loved the joy and fun of the large family of 10 siblings
he had married into.
Ron worked as a chemist and production manager for Cornell Paperboard, which later merged with the St. Regis Paper
Company.
Ron later pursued training in property assessment and appraisal at UW-Eau Claire.
Following the closing of the paper company in Cornell in
1972, he moved his family to Eau Claire, where he accepted
an assessors position for the City of Eau Claire. He retired
in January 1988, as city assessor of the City of Eau Claire.
Ron joined the Masonic Lodge in Cornell in1956, and became its Master in 1959, when he also joined the consistory
in Eau Claire.
He joined the Mehara Shrine Club and Zor Shriners in
1972, after moving his family to Eau Claire.
He was a Masonic member of Sanctuary Lodge 112 and
Scottish Rite Valley of Eau Claire.
Ron proudly held Fishskin No. 1 in The Society for the
Prevention of the Extinction of the Art of Lutefisk Eating
(SPEALE) Eau Claire Lodge, which was started by Lloyd O.
Johnson and Ron in the early 1970s. The original SPEALE
Lodge was founded in Cornell in 1949.
He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Ann; daughter,
Karen, Madison; son, Kurt, Destin, Fla.; and granddaughter,
Melissa, Madison; many sisters and brothers-in-law; nieces;
nephews; and his cousins daughter and children.
He is preceded in death by his parents; infant son, John;
and his dear Swedish cousin, Gunnel Schroeder.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer memorials be
given to Feed My People Food Bank, 2610 Alpine Road, Eau

COURIER SENTINEL
Spring Elections Cadott School Board
All four school board candidates agree to make Cadott the best
By Kayla Peche
The Cadott School District will vote on board members,
Tuesday, April 7, 2015. There are two open seats with four
candidates Terri Goettl and Charlotte Seibel, and incumbents P. Scot Kelly and Christine Rowe.
Following are biographies, in alphabetical order, of declared candidates who answered and returned our questionnaire. I = incumbent
Terri Goettl
With major financial issues facing public schools in Wisconsin, and being a
Cadott mother of two, Goettl says its time
for her to give back to the community she
loves.
I believe Ican be helpful in making the
decisions that will maintain positive outcomes for Cadott students, Goettl said. I
Terri Goettl
see my role as being a bridge for communication about state and local educational issues, and our
local reality here in Cadott.
Goettl, originally from Owen-Withee, has been an educator for over 20 years, and is currently in a leadership role with
the Eau Claire School District in Early Childhood Special
Education. She received her bachelors degree from UW-Eau
Claire, and went on to get her masters in Educational Leadership from Viterbo University.
Goettl has previous elective experience being part of
church council, a Stanley-Boyd education association secretary, and is currently the Wisconsin Division of Early Childhood secretary.
As far as goals for the district, she says she wants Cadott
to be a strong district where people stay and bring their children to school. Right now, the district is meeting expectations, which she says is good but not great.
There will continue to be competition with our neighbors
for student enrollment, she said. Being a school that is exceeding expectations will definitely send a strong message
that the Cadott School District is where all children can and
do reach their fullest potential.
When asked about the state budget, Goettl says she disagrees with the budget cut, and believes being forced to
choose between increasing taxes or cutting educational programming to keep the school on budget is entirely unacceptable.
I have a comprehensive understanding of education
through many lenses, she said. Im not afraid of challenging issues and believe that when people work together
through difficult times, the organization actually becomes
stronger.
Goettl says the immediate issues that need to be addressed
are the decline of legislative support for public education, the
increase of funding and support for the voucher program, and
the need to compete with nearby schools because of the maturity to create policies, structures and fiscal plans that will
maintain a precise focus on high achievement for all students
with less revenue and fewer choices.
After being asked about the decision to go to four full days
of 4K, Goettl says she supports the four full day model because its necessary for some.
Because of diverse and varied early life experiences,
some children require more intensive intervention, she said.
Therefore, I totally support providing that need through a
four full day modelI believe there should be a thoughtful
way to consider all of our students needs/strengths and make
district decisions that are educationally necessary, economically sustainable, and directly tied to closing the achievement
gap.
P. Scot Kelly (I)
Kelly is a lifetime member of the Cadott
School District and a resident of the Town
of Sigel for the past eight years. His family also keeps the Hornet tradition alive
with two Cadott graduates, two children
in school, and three grandchildren who
will also attend the district.
Currently, Kelly is a Jr./Sr. high school
P. Scot Kelly
technology and engineering teacher, and
educator effectiveness coach in the Alma Center-Humbird-
Merrillan School District. He is also an adjunct instructor for

CVTC.
Kelly received his associate degree in supervisory management from CVTC, bachelors degree from UW-Stout and,
right now, is going for his masters at Viterbo University in
the superintendent program.
Giving back to the community, Kelly works as a volunteer
for the Cadott Community Ambulance Service as a licensed
EMT and in the past, was a machinist/CNC programmer and
a plant manager in Cornell.
During his six years on the board, Kelly says he has a sense
of pride in the district and what they have accomplished so
far. He is part of the School Board Transportation, Building
and Grounds, and Athletics Committees, and is part of the
Cadott Athletic Booster Club (CAB).
I was instrumental in creating CAB, Kelly said. Ive
held the president position since its establishment in 2009.
When asked about his reasons for re-election, Kelly says
he has multiple long-term goals for the district such as becoming the best district our size in the state and creating
measurable growth each and every year in all aspects of education.
I believe this goal can only be accomplished through a
shared vision and strong collaborative effort by our students,
teachers, staff, board members and all stakeholders of our
community, he said.
To accomplish the growth in the school, Kelly says we
must focus on fiscal responsibility, while making great investments in the district.
As a board official, Kelly says his role is to represent the
community, support development and growth of the staff,
and help students meet the districts mission to challenge students to reach their full potential.
In additionIhave spent thousands of dollars of my own
money and countless hours becoming educated about current
school-related issues and best education practices, he said,
so that Ican assure that my decisions as an elected official
are in the best interest of our students, schools and community.
Kelly says in the next few years, he hopes to continue to
empower professional development and expand on technology use in the district. He says preparing students to become
21st century learners is not about how much money is spent
on technology, but implementing technology in the school.
Our district has a great start on technology and some great
equipment, he said.
When asked about Gov. Scott Walkers proposed budget,
Kelly said he attended the public forum to hear concerns on
the budget decrease, and raised his own concerns.
Iwas able to publically share some of my thoughts which
relate to my lack of desire to make any cuts that will negatively impact our students education, he said. I understand the desire to be fiscally responsible as a state, but dont
want to see any more decreases in funding that will directly
affect our investment in education opportunities and the future of our youth.
Kelly was one of the board members who voted against
the switch to four full days of 4K, so when asked his
thoughts, he brought up some issues.
I had some concerns about the financial burdens relating
to this change and the lack of research-based information,
he said. I was also concerned that our public school system
was catering to a local business with a financially vested interest in the boards final decision.
Kelly says he will continue to vocalize his thoughts and
opinions during board discussion and work hard to make
each decision successful for the students of our district and
community.
Christine Rowe (I)
Rowe became part of the school board
a short time ago for one reason, to give
back.
Our district and community reached
out and supported my family last year
when one of my daughters was sick, she
said. I was blown away and desperately
wanted to try to show my gratitude.
After attending high school in Phillips, Christine Rowe
Rowe received a Computer Business degree from NorthCentral Technical College, and recently enrolled in the paralegal
program at CVTC. As her family grew, she said she wanted
her children to attend a small school district.
We ultimately chose Cadott because of its school ratings.
she said. We havent ever regretted our decision. Our educators are superior and we know we are in a community that
pulls together in times of need.
After only being on the school board since June, Rowe
says her passion for the position has grown. She says shes
learned many ins and outs and nooks and crannies that
drive the district.
Overall, I can say that I was just more impressed, she
said. However, being a mom as well, Im also learning
things that could use some attention.
Her goal for the district is the same as the Cadott superintendent, to be the best district our size in the state of Wisconsin.
This is an obtainable goal, Rowe said. And one I will
continually strive to achieve for our community.
Rowe says she is against Walkers proposed budget, and
as a mother it scares and saddens her, but as a board member, she knows they will be faced with some difficult decisions.
The loss of any amount of state aid to Cadott is a big
deal, she said. To take a hit, could mean possible cuts to
several areas of our childrens school careers.
When asked her thoughts on 4K, she said switching to four
full days was an amazing decision.
This is going to give us a huge stepping stone to achieve
our best in the state goal, Rowe said. With our young children getting a better, more consistent head start in their education, we will be able to exceed expectations as each class
advances.
Rowe says her primary role on the board is to make the
best decisions to improve academic excellence for all students, to make sure teachers are up-to-date and well educated
on new and changing technology, and to maintain a realistic
budget.
Charlotte Seibel
As a mother of three Cadott students,
Seibel says she understands the different
levels of learning, and would like to be
part of the growth in the Cadott School
District.
The role of the school board is to give
the students of the district the best education possible, Seibel said. This comes
from many areas our teachers, coaches, Charlotte Seibel
administration, other school staff as well as the community.
Seibel has lived in Cadott for 47 years. She works as a
claims adjustment representative for Optum Technology and
previously worked in accounts payable for 10 years.
After receiving an associate degree in AgriScience from
CVTC in 1996, she also took other classes in Accounting and
Civil Structural Engineering.
Seibel was also on the St. Joseph Home and School Board
as treasurer from 2000-2002, works as CABs concession director, and is a certified Wisconsin junior fair judge.
She says her plan is to update the technology in the district
if elected, and says she would like to see all students and
teachers use technology with the same program/operating
system.
By having all the same operating systems, its easier for
students to connect to assignments in different classrooms
and different locations in school and out of school, she said.
When asked about the proposed budget from Walker,
Seibel says she disagrees with the cut because there will be
less revenue available.
But as a school district, Cadott will adjust to what comes
of the budget, she said.
After being asked her thoughts on the switch to four fullday 4K, Seibel says she would rather see four half-days for
the 4K program in Cadott, and mid-way through go to two
full-days.
Some four-year-olds are not ready for that many full days
in school, she said, but acknowledged that 4K is a way to
get children ready for kindergarten.

The National Honor Society (NHS) is known for their excellence in scholarship, leadership, service and character just
as Wisconsin is known for its cold winters, so why not put
service and cold together?
Since 2009, the Cadott NHS, which has six members this
year, hasparticipated in the Polar Plunge at Half Moon Lake
in Eau Claire. The tradition continued Feb. 22, when three
brave NHSmembers took the plunge with all six students
raising money for the cause.
This year, the students raised $500 for Special Olympics
as they dressed up in Scooby Doo character outfits to take
the plunge.
Special Olympics is a great cause and the money goes to
fund athletes, said Elizabeth Weir, NHS adviser. Idont
know the percentages or amounts, but some of the funds will
go to our local Special Olympics team.
Weir says the students signed up for the team online, and
created their own fundraising page where family and friends
could donate. Some students also asked others during winter
sporting events, and asked for donations from co-workers.
NHSdoesnt have any other charitable events planned this
school year, said Weir, but contributes annually.
We always do a penny war, which was already completed
for this school year, said Weir. We make donations to/for
various organization, events, scholarships and more, throughout the year.

Affordable Taxi Service coming to Cadott

Taxi!
You might not need to flag a cab down off the street, but
soon one will be available for you to call from Cadott.
Whether you are stranded on some back road, looking for
a ride to the nearest grocery store, or just unable to drive, Affordable Taxi Service can pick you up.
We can go anywhere you want to go, said James Siddon,
owner/operator of Affordable Taxi Service, referencing places
like Eau Claire, Cornell and Lake Wissota.
At the regular Cadott Village Board meeting March 16, the
board approved a conditional use permit for the taxi service,
and a resolution to use that permit for a business in a B-2 highway commercial district.
Siddon and Nicole Renta plan to purchase the property at
230 E. Chippewa Street to place their taxi service and home.
Siddon and Renta have been working for Ready Ride in
Chippewa Falls for a few years, and said they want to serve
the people in this area.
We want a cab service to make sure people get to where
theyre supposed to go, Siddon said. We both really enjoy
it.
Bart Chapek, board member, said there are older residents
who need transportation in the area.
Thats what we were thinking too, said Renta. We were
thinking we could give them (regular customers) dealsif
they want to go to Gordys in Lake Wissota or Walmart in
Lake Hallie, we dont have to charge by the mile. We could
just give them a flat rate.

I am sure that you could get a group that would want to
go at the same time too, Chapek said.
Siddon says they plan to have vans, and they are looking at
handicap accessible vehicles as well.
We want to get in the area first and get it going to see what
happens, said Siddon. We want to see how many people are
really interested and need it (handicap accessibility).
I think its a good idea, said Randy Kuehni, board member.
Affordable Taxi Service plans to get things on the road after
they purchase the house for their business.
Welcome aboard and good luck, said Lester Liptak, board
member, along with well wishes from the rest of the board.
Also on the agenda, Joyce Kandler and Amber Kastel received operator licenses for River Country Plaza. Both of
them passed inspection, and were unanimously approved.
In a public notice to all customers of the village, there has
been an application filed with the Public Service Commission
of Wisconsin to increase electric rates.
According to the notice, the increase is necessary to reflect
changes in operating cost, capital improvement, and a need
to review and adjust the rate tariff structure since the last electric rates case in 2000.
The requested increase will affect customers by about $13
a month or 21 percent. There will be a telephonic public hearing on the application Wednesday, April 8, at 1 p.m., in the
Cadott Village Hall at 110 N. Central Street.

In other business, on recommendation of the Public Works
Committee, council members declined to renew a contract
with John Wisnewski for lawn care of Mill Yard Park. Wisnewski has mowed the park lawn since 2009, but city officials said with the addition of new hires, money could be
saved by assigning a city worker to the lawn care.
John has done a tremendous job and weve had a lot of
compliments on the way he kept the Mill Yard Park up, said
DeJongh. I also know there was an additional staff member
put on the city works utility in preparation of some upcoming
retirements, and there is a bit more staff time available to do
it in-house.
On other agenda, the Public Works Committee also recommended changing the start of the winter parking ordinance to Nov. 1. The current ordinance says vehicles may
not be parked on city streets overnight from Dec. 1 through
April 1.

that can create a problem, said Eb Ballinger, council member. Sometimes the cars just sit there and they dont move,
and they need to get the streets plowed.
It was agreed to put the ordinance change on the next
meetings agenda, and that the police will use discretion in
regard to milder weather.
The council also heard plans to move the skating rink at
Mill Yard Park into the pavilion for the 2015-16 winter season in an attempt to stop rocks from pushing through the ice
and creating hazardous air bubbles. John Westaby, city utility/public works supervisor, brought the idea forward at a
committee meeting, and said moving the rink indoors will
cut down on snow removal upkeep.
Talbot says the matter comes under jurisdiction of the
Parks and Recreation Committee, and does not require a vote
from the council unless they plan to discontinue the rink.
As a notice to the public, Talbot again reminded residents
who plan to run as a write-in candidate, to register at the city
office to be eligible for the Tuesday, April 7, spring election.
If you do not register at the office before the election and
get write-in votes, said Talbot, we are not obligated to
count them.

Young athletes open 2015 track season

By Kayla Peche
Cadott freshmen and sophomore track athletes took their
first steps on an indoor track for the first meet of the season
at UW-Eau Claire. Once the young athletes had their chance
at competing, the upperclassmen dusted off their shoes for
the Tomahawk Invitational two days later.
We got contributions from all grade levels, Pat Rothbauer, Cadott head track coach, said after the March 19 meet.
It will be fun to see how everyone progresses over the season.
March 17 Eau Claire North Invitational
After a weeks worth of practice, the underclassmen of the
Cadott Hornets Track team received their first taste of a track
meet March 17, at UW-Eau Claire.
I was very impressed with the efforts and willingness to
jump right in and compete, said Rothbauer of the sophomore and freshman athletes, even if it was an event that the
athletes werent overly familiar with.
The first indoor track meet of the season was hosted by
Eau Claire North for nine schools with 15 events.
In the girls and boys 55-meter dash, freshman Felisha
Glomski took eighth place and sophomore Wyatt Cote took
10th. Cote also placed in other events including sixth place
for the 200-meter dash and fourth in the boys long jump.
Sophomore Isaiah Pecha placed one in front of Cote, taking
third in the long jump.
Even though the Hornets placed ninth overall for boys and
girls, Rothbauer said he enjoyed seeing how the athletes help
each other throughout the meet.
The athletes were willing to coach each other up and to
encourage each other, he said.
For girls high jump, Lexi Jorsch, freshman, took seventh
place followed by Autumn Dembowski, sophomore, in ninth.
Leonna Sonnentag, sophomore, placed ninth in girls pole
vault.
In boys shot put, sophomore Derrick Ekum and freshman
Kolton Dupey took seventh and eighth.
Each of the relays placed in the top 10 during the competition. The girls took second in the 4x200-meter relay, fifth
in the 4x400, and fourth in the 4x800. The boys followed
placing fifth in the 4x200, eighth in the 4x400, and seventh
in the 4x800.
I think we really need to just keep working on technique
and strength, and learning how to pace certain races, Rothbauer said. This will all come with more experience and
Six Hornets qualify for state

On March 21, Cadott had 27 Hornets compete at the River
Falls Youth State Qualifier, with six advancing to the state
meet Axel Tegels, Tristian Drier, Gavin Tegels, Brady
Spaeth, Brayden Sonnentag and James Pfeiffer.
Each and every athlete gave their best effort and displayed
great sportsmanship, said Josh Spaeth, Cadott Varsity head
wrestling coach. These guys could not have qualified without the help of each and every team member. The youth
coaches have done a wonderful job with these kids. You make
your community proud.
Coming in at third place were Peyton Amdahl, Ethan
Tegels and Michael Pecha, followed by Conner Roth, Cole
Pfeiffer, Kaleb Sonnentag, Alec Bourdon, Logan Harel and
Nelson Wahl in fourth.

March 19 Tomahawk Invitational
The Cadott upperclassmen received their chance at the first
indoor track meet March 19, at UW-Eau Claire for the Tomahawk Invitational.
This meet was our first competition for the juniors and
seniors, said Rothbauer. It was a great meet as we were
able to get almost all of our athletes into the meet.
With more athletes adding to the total score, the boys
placed sixth and girls placed seventh out of the 10 schools
participating.
Two senior athletes set the bar high, with Ben Kyes taking
first place in the triple jump, and first place for the 55-meter
hurdles. Rothbauer says he set a new personal record by over

Kinney takes shot at All Star pro team

By Ginna Young
Thirteen-year-old Kaden Kinney, of Holcombe, is headed
for Lexington, Ky., with his horse, Willow, but it wont be
the Kentucky Derby they compete in March 26-29. Because
Kaden qualified at the Mounted Shooters of America Worlds
Championship last fall, he was invited to the Road to the

Horse All Star Shootout that combines educational entertainment and showcases horsemanship.
R.J. (Kadens brother) also did well at Worlds, said
Michele Kinney, the boys mother. Kaden was just a little
faster. We were so excited to hear hed been
invited; only the top 20 in the nation compete at this event.
The Lake Holcombe seventh-grader will
make a pistol and shotgun demo run, with
the action airing at 8 p.m., on Direct TV
345/Dish 231. Although the 13-year-old has
been exposed to a professional venue before,
for his horse, Willow, this is all new.
Kaden actually trained Willow himself,
said Michele. He rode Scarlet who belonged to Brian Venem at Worlds, but
sadly, she has now passed away.
The All Star Shootout isnt the only excitement the Kinneys have coming their

DNR Outdoor Report

Warm weather continues to melt snow and ice on lakes and
rivers. Ice conditions continue to deteriorate, with many
major river systems opening. Northern lakes still have a foot
or more of ice, but it has turned honeycombed and gray.
Many lakes have developed patches of open water near inlets, access areas and along south-facing shores.
The weather has provided optimum conditions for early
catch and release trout fishing. Trout streams in central and
southwestern Wisconsin are nearly completely free of ice,
and levels look good for catch and release fishing, with not
much run off from lack of snow cover.
Black bears are seen in increasing numbers. Snowshoe
hares have been easy to spot because they have not made
their change in color yet. Turkeys are gobbling on sunny
mornings and toms are seen strutting.
Sap is running and maple syrup enthusiasts are tapping
trees.
Diving duck numbers are just starting to build on southern
lakes beginning to open up. Southern counties are reporting
American woodcock.
Early March migrants have arrived including blackbirds,
robins, bluebirds, song sparrows and Eastern meadowlarks.

Warm temperatures have resulted in widespread snow
melt, causing an increase in fire danger with the loss of
ground moisture and abundance of dry, dead foliage, grass
and fallen leaves. So far, 53 wildfires have burned 164 acres
in DNR protection areas.
The best practice is to not burn at all or to wait until surrounding vegetation greens-up in the summer. Always obtain
proper permits and follow the rules of the day when conducting an outdoor burn.

An Outdoorsmans Journal By Mark Walters

On Thin Ice
Hello friends,
I have come to the conclusion that annually my favorite
outdoor sport is winter camping on the ice and ice fishing
for big fish. This past week may have been my last trip on
the ice of the 2014-15 season.
My plan was pretty simple. Though the temperature was
in the 70 degree range, I was going to drive to Lynxville
(Crawford County) and live on the ice at Lock and Dam
Number 9 on the Mississippi River.
My goal was to ice a northern pike over 40 inches and
catch several jumbo perch. I would be living on a rapidly
dwindling sheet of ice that was located between the long
wall of the dam and the shoreline.
Friday, March 13 High 68, Low 28
So I park at the dam and on top of my pickup is my
canoe. In the bed of it are three Otter Sleds that are very full
of fishing and camping gear. The first thing I did was assess
my situation, which was done by putting on hip boots and
taking a walk and a look at the ice.
I determined that my only point of entry was to walk
down the long wall and do about an 18-inch jump onto the
ice. The walk was maybe 200 yards and my sleds did not
drag well on cement.
On trip one I hauled my Jiffy Pro 4, fishing gear and minnows. I was pleasantly surprised when I had between 14
and 20 inches of ice. There were at least 50 boats on the
water, and some of the fishermen were as close as 20 yards
to me. I was the only person on the ice and there is no doubt
that for the next two days, I would be the topic of discussion
and entertainment for everyone on the water.
I put out two Beaverdam tip-ups that were baited with
large shiners, and on my Automatic Fishermen I rigged up
a jig pole with a fathead minnow. I was about to begin hauling more loads and my canoe when the AutoMatic Fishermen sprang to life and I could see I had a fish on.
I was using 4 pound test and landed a 28-inch northern.
Not a trophy but a solid start.
My canoe was along for safety, kind of my rescue boat.
There was no shore ice and I knew the berg I was living on
could literally break up and head down to Louisiana.
Another part of my plan
was to fish on the channel
side of my berg all night
long, and limit out on walleye. Judging by the complete lack

of walleye being caught by my comrades in boats, that plan
was not looking too good.
It became dark and I had to pull my tip-ups that were on
the open water end of my berg twice, because that section
of ice broke up and went bye bye.
I stayed up until 11 p.m. and lived by the light of a
propane lantern. I took a safety step when I decided to sleep
in my canoe and use my life jacket and seat cushion as pillows. I think my dog, Fire, liked that idea, as she took over
my bed as soon as I put it together.
Saturday, March 14 High 61, Low 26
I was up an hour before the sun and never really slept because 26 million trains went within 40 yards of my camp;
and guess what, trains make a lot of noise.
I caught a very small sauger an hour before it became
light, and was super excited to start my heroic day of icing
pigasaurus gators and perch.
I moved my tip-ups to the edge of the ice and about 20minutes later, a very large crack appeared between my tip
ups and me. I quickly moved them closer to camp and soon
after, the ice where my tip ups had just been was on its way
to Louisiana.
On another rather interesting note, I was headed toward
a flag (meaning potential fish) when I noticed Fire had
fallen through the ice and could not pull herself out. This
was not good. There were many boat loads of fishermen
who witnessed this situation and everyone knew it could be
ugly.
I could not reach her on foot, so I pushed my canoe to
her, got in it and pulled my trusty pup out of the river. Without the canoe, Fire was in big trouble.
Today I fished the entire day and I had high hopes. I
needed this trip. The reality of my situation was that I was
in what I call a non-bite. The folks in the boats were not
catching walleye and the guy on the mortally wounded
sheet of ice only caught two, very small northern pike.
The effort was made, no one perished and as I have for
25 years, I pointed my trusty Chevy in the direction of home
and she made it as she always has.
Time for sunscreen and
bug repellant!

Life
By: Monique Westaby
Nowhere to Go
The morning of traveling
past the Amish boys logging had left my legs cramped and my morning sickness
anything less than pleasant. The goldfish crackers and ginger ale didnt seem to be doing the trick, and I knew I was
growing less than pleasant to my company.
By the time we got through the ruts and over the hill at
the end of Dump Road, my bladder was in need of relief.
Of course, there is no bathroom in the middle of
nowhere, so I headed into the woods to find the nearest
facility. By the time I returned, our driver had taken a
gun, GPS and leads, and headed toward the barking dogs.
If they circled again with the coyote, he was going to be
ready.
My husband, Scott, in his ever patient demeanor, notso-subtly asked if I needed him to stay at the truck or if I
would be fine if he went into the woods after our driver.
At this point I didnt care, I was just worried about Grace,
our pup, who was just under a mile away, not even near
the chase.
Scott grabbed a gun and his nearly dead phone and
headed in. Meanwhile, I looked at our GPS and could see
Grace was pretty stationary about 950 yards away, so I decided to pull up my big girl pants and walk the opposite
way. Maybe it was more out of boredom, but either way I
took the GPS and started trudging through the snow.
After about 250 yards, and coming to the edge of a suspiciously wet looking swamp, I yelled for our little Walker.
The GPS showed she moved 20 yardsaway from me. I
yelled again and waited, another 20 yardsaway.
Frustrated I turned around and started walking back, just
as she made a loop toward me. I yelled her name and she
moved closer again. I turned and walked further into the
tamaracks, and she turned and ran further away.
Beep.
Youve got to be kidding me, I said to the trees around
me, looking at the GPS. The screen read low battery. I
was now about 300 yards away from the truck, with Grace
another 700 yards from me, and my GPS was dying.
Although there was snow on the ground, and knew I
could follow my tracks back, I had no way to communicate to the trucks or people (I left my phone at the truck),
and could no longer track them or Grace if I continued.
So I drug myself back to the pickup, still yelling for Grace
the entire way.
Ill get the batteries Scott brought, and head back in for
Grace, if shell listen, I thought to myself.
Upon arrival at the truck, I crawled in the back and dug
through the goodie bag. No batteries. I looked through
Scotts supplies in the front of the truck. No batteries.
Youve got to be kidding me, I said to the empty cab.
No batteries meant no GPS, which meant I had no idea
where Grace would be when the screen finally went dead.
I dimmed the light, and estimated I had about 10 minutes of screen on time
before the GPS went
out for good.

Spring Elections Cornell City Council
Five run for three open Cornell City Council seats

By Monique Westaby
The Cornell City Council will vote on council members
Tuesday, April 7, 2015. There are three open seats with five
candidates incumbents Floyd Hickethier, Glenford Logan,
and Mark Nodolf, and opponents Jim Hodowanic and Bonnie
Selmer.
Following is a biography, in alphabetical order, of those
who answered and returned our questionnaire. I = incumbent
Floyd Hickethier (I)
Hickethier is no stranger to the Cornell
area, nor is he a stranger to the city council. A lifetime resident of the area, 34-year
veteran of the Cornell paper mill, and two
prior terms on the city council, Hickethier
says hes seeking re-election because he
enjoys improving Cornell.
And helping the residents of Cornell,
Floyd Hickethier
he said.
As a council member, he says one must leave their phone
line open and listen to residents, as well as work to make Cornell a friendly place for visitors and those who live there.
Other roles he says include improving Mill Yard Park with
playground equipment, and livening up the outlook of Cornell. As for small business, he says the city has two buildings at the old Cornell Corp. location that would work for
those interested.
Aside from serving on council, Hickethier spent 17 years
on the union board at the mill (including time as vice president), and currently is assigned to the councils Building,
Parks, Recreation and Utility Committee, the Industrial Committee and is a library board representative.
He graduated from Cornell High School in 1959, attended
Building Construction classes, Public Relation School, firemens training and Employee Assistance Relation Training.
Hes also been a Cub Scout leader, as well as a squad leader
(Staff Sgt.) for the U.S. Army.
When asked about city disposal of property, something
thats come up at previous council meetings, Hickethier says
all items should be put up for bids.
I think everything the City of Cornell wants to get rid of
should be put in the paper, up for bids, he said. So everybody
has a chance to get the property Cornell is getting rid of.
He also says all sworn in members should be informed
about ordinances and policies, and that the council should
continue to look at them.
Anybody who is on City Council gets a large book on all
ordinances to study, he says. The council going through
these ordinance as a group would help the new members and
old members. Nobody can remember all the city ordinances.
Hickethier says because of his job, holding a public office
was difficult, but since retirement, hes had time to serve on
council. At that time (retirement), it was time to pay back
for all of the good living Cornell gave me and my family.
Jim Hodowanic
I think I have something to give back
to the community with my utility background and dealing with the public, says
Hodowanic of his reason for seeking election.
Hodowanic graduated from StanleyBoyd High School in 1980, attended
CVTC for Electrical Power Distribution,
and participated in the Journeyman Line- Jim Hodowanic
man State Indentured Apprenticeship program from CVTC.
He has spent over 30 years working for Chippewa Valley
Electric as a line superintendent, and served on the Cornell
School Board in the mid-2000s. Hodowanic also started the
fifth and sixth grade youth football program for Cornell-Lake
Holcombe, and has coached it for eight years.
He says his role as an elected official would be to help the
city make some tough decisions for the future on a limited
budget.
For ordinances and policies, Hodowanic says the more the
council knows about them, the more educated decisions will
be for the future of Cornell.
Glenford Logan (I)
Logan was elected to the city council in 2010, and says he
wants to continue to represent the taxpayers of Cornell for

several reasons.
To improve relations between them and the council, said
Logan. To make it a great city to live in. Id like to see more
people attending council meetings and voicing their input.
Originally from Holcombe, Logan has lived in Cornell for
the past 35 years, and owned and operated Lake Holcombe
Roofing and Construction for 20 years, Northland Transportation for six years, and was a Union Sheetmetal worker
for 30 years.
Aside from the council, he also served as a superviser on
the SheldonVillage Board, secretary of the Lake Holcombe
Lions Club, and president of the Community Development
Association. He was also the Cornell Municipal Judge. His
current duties on the council include the City Works, Utility,
Finance and Zoning Committees.
Logan has attended Rice Lake Vocational School and several updated educational courses, including judicial seminars,
and says it never hurts to have updated training sessions in
regard to council members knowing city ordinances and policies.
So that all council members have the information to make
the best decision in the interest of the city, he said. So if a
taxpayer comes to a council member and asks about a certain
ordinance, they are better able to tell them or direct them to
the right answer.
As for if the council has made a progression as a unit when
dealing with the disposal of city property (such as the old end
loader last year), Logan says the situation could have been
handled better but the problems were addressed by the whole
council and the ordinance was updated.
As an official, Logan says he will continue to work to improve the citys infrastructure, and try to bring in new industry, as well as maintain and support existing businesses.
Anybody with questions, I have an open door policy and
will strive to get you the answer, says Logan.
Mark Nodolf (I)
Graduating from Belmont High School
in 1969, and earning his bachelors degree
in Business from UW-Platteville, Nodolf
moved to the area in 1979 and says he is
seeking re-election to provide leadership,
and to make the best decision for the city
and residents.
Nodolf has been a team leader at MuleMark Nodolf
Hide Mfg. for 13 years. He was appointed
to the city council in 2007, and serves as chairperson on the
Finance and Public Safety and Health Committees, and as a
member of the City Works Committee.
Part of those duties included working on the disposal of
the old end loader that came up on council agenda last year.
I feel we handled the sale of the end loader in a prompt
and fair manner, says Nodolf. Now we have a policy on
the books for the sale of city property. Its time to look forward, not backward.
When asked if council members should be more informed

on city ordinances and policies, he says members receive
enough information on ordinances and policies. We all have
an ordinance book and can attend seminars if we want.
Bonnie Selmer
Seeking re-election to the board, but not
from last term, Selmer says she loves Cornell and loves politics, which is why she
majored in History and Political Science
in college.
She earned a degree from UW-Eau
Claire, and went on to work on her master
thesis while aiding teachers in Political
Science. Selmer served on council in the Bonnie Selmer
90s for six years, then again for two years from 2012-14.
Elected officials need to project what is good for the community and then try to get that which is necessary done, says
Selmer. Most candidates enter local races with a political
agenda, thenstay on board because the council and city
have become important to them. Council is fun and interesting.
A Cornell High School graduate, Selmer has lived in several places around the U.S. for jobs, marriage, military and
school, before coming back to Cornell for the past 25 years.
She was in the U.S. Coast Guard for two years, and worked
as a field director for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin in
Madison.
I directed a Congressional campaign in southern Wisconsin, added Selmer.
In addition, shes done professional writing for several
newspapers and magazines, worked in customer service with
American Girl for eight years, and worked for Chippewa
County for another eight years, five of which were in Veterans Service.
When asked about the citys equipment disposal policy,
Selmer says equipment comes and goes.
In our case, we may buy new equipment or we may buy
used equipment, she said. The important thing is that the
equipment works. When we need something new or improved, it is in our best interest to put it up for bids and take
the best offerSomeone has to haul it somewhere, so if at
all possible, we might as well get a few bucks for it.
Aside from serving on council in the past, Selmer is also a
member of the Cornell American Legion Post 353, Lake Holcombe Womens Club and on the board of directors for the
Eau Claire Humane Association, to name a few.
As for council knowledge of policies and ordinances, she
says members should read the policy books and stay on top
of local issues.
Some items carry over into sessions, Selmer says. Its
frustrating when members pick up their packets, do not have
time to read about the issues, yet vote on items on the
agenda.
Informational training meetings are always a good idea
for new members to find out how the system functions.
Spring Elections Cornell School Board
Briggs and Wallerius look for another term

By Monique Westaby
The Cornell School District will vote on board members
Tuesday, April 7, 2015. There are two open seats with two
incumbents Lyle Briggs and Paul Wallerius running unopposed.
Following is a biography of those who answered and returned our questionnaire.
Lyle Briggs
A dairy farmer until 2005, Briggs, a
1973 Cadott graduate, still milks cows for
a neighbor. He was appointed to the Cornell School Board in 1989, and is currently serving as the board president.
Hes been a board member for 22 years,
and says his role as an elected official includes spending the districts money
Lyle Briggs
wisely, and getting the most for the Cornell School students. He says hes looking to continue serv-
ing because he likes to give back to the community, and

because he finds it interesting.
His goals for the district include keeping up with technology, so students know how to use it and not be afraid of it.
In regard to an all-sports co-op between Cornell and Lake
Holcombe, he says it should only happen if the numbers justify it or, if the kids from both schools are interested in cooping. The co-ops we do have together seem to be working
nicely.
Briggs says hes against Gov. Scott Walkers proposed
budget for state aid, and says it will not increase funding.
Even though he says he is allocating more money, says
Briggs, it will not add any more money to our school district.
Paul Wallerius
Wallerius currently holds the treasurer position on the Cornell School Board. As of deadline we had not received his
completed questionnaire.

Spring Elections Lake Holcombe Town Board
Three newcomers look to fill empty board seats

By Monique Westaby
The Town of Lake Holcombe will vote on board members
Tuesday, April 7, 2015. The chairman and two supervisor positions on the board are up for election, with three candidates
running Beau Bowlin, Brian Guthman and David Staudacher. The clerk, treasurer and constable positions for the
town are also up for election, with incumbents Anneleise
Willmarth, Tracy Geist and Keith Swanson on the ballot.
Following are biographies, in alphabetical order, of declared candidates for the chairman and supervisor positions,
who answered and returned our questionnaire. Current members Robert Bayerl, John Bell and Barry Hoke opted to not
run for re-election.
Beau Bowlin
A 10-year resident of the Town of Lake
Holcombe, Bowlin, an Eau Claire native,
already attends board meetings on a regular basis.
He says hes seeking election to the
board to help the town keep running well
as it has in the past and that as a board,
the town can help the economic prosperity
Beau Bowlin
of the area by helping viable companies
grow or move into the town.
In regard to the new wayside expansion proposal the board
has presented at previous meetings, Bowlin says he would like
to see an expansion, but the County Board is holding things up.
The wayside had no new expansion in 50 years, says
Bowlin.
As for the recent vandalism, he says because the town
doesnt have a police force, its difficult to patrol the area.
And the county is limited to its patrols for vandalism.
Brian Guthman
Guthman, a Lake Holcombe graduate
and 27 year resident of the area, says if
elected, he will try to represent the people
of Lake Holcombe.
This means researching topics to educate myself in preparation for discussions
at meetings, says Guthman. This also
means taking the information to community members to ask what their thoughts Brian Guthman
are on the topics or issues.

Because the town is unincorporated, Guthman says his role
covers the entire township, and that its his responsibility to
stay on top of issues that may have a negative effect.
One of those is in Gov. Walkers budget that will take
away the townships ability to have their assessor, Guthman
says. I have already written Sen. Terry Moulton and Rep.
Tom Larson about this, and explained to them this would
cause a burden to many of our residents if they had to go to
Chippewa Falls when they had questions about their assessments.
Since 1987, Guthman has been an award winning AgriScience instructor at Lake Holcombe, and teaches Science,
Agriculture and Environmental Science Education, to name
a few.
Hes also worked on the planning and implementation of
Federal Carl Perkins Vocational Funds including preparing
and implementing budgets, recording and final reporting of
appropriations.
Guthman says hes attended many board meetings in the
past, and says he believes his experience and knowledge of
funding and grant writing will benefit the town.
I hope to work with current business owners in the township and find out if there are things the town can do to help
them expand their business, says Guthman. And also work
with the different private and public agencies at the county,
state and federal levels to find ways of bringing economic
development to the township.
I believe we should focus on finding stakeholders who
are interested in expanding tourism business of Lake Holcombe, so Lake Holcombe continues to become a place that
people want to visit.
Guthman, who has a bachelors degree in Agricultural Education, and 42 graduate credits in related topics, has served
as the Lake Holcombe Improvement Association president
for 18 years, and has worked on several community projects
for the area. Some of those include fish cribs, purple loosestrife control, dry hydrants for fire control and other natural
habitat improvements.
For the wayside expansion project, Guthman says if the
town can secure the property on lease, it would enhance the
area and make it a better place for the people who would visit
the area.
As far as vandalism goes, he said, staying on top of it
and fixing the vandalism as soon as possible is important in
detouring more vandalism. In addition, the community (including youth) needs to be engaged and involved in clean-up
and beautification of the area, as this promotes ownership
and pride in the area.
David Staudacher
As a board member, I will listen to the
concerns and complaints of the town residents, says Staudacher, and present
them to the rest of the board for discussion
and possible action.
Staudacher is a lifetime resident of the
area, is a retired forester and has 29 years
experience with Chippewa County as a
David Staudacher
forest and parks tech.
He says the wayside has been a place for area residents to
relax and enjoy the beauty of the lake, and that increased
public use is always a deterrent to vandals.
Some increased surveillance may help to alleviate this
ever present problem.
A 1965 graduate of Holcombe High School, Staudacher
earned a bachelors degree in Forestry at UW-Stevens Point,
and served on the board previously. From 1997-2001, he
served as a board supervisor, and from 2001-2005, he was
elected town board chair.
Seeking re-election 10 years later, he says hed like to assist the board in continuing to provide services to town residents.
The board needs to support local tourism, he said. And
explore possible business expansions.

Spring Elections Lake Holcombe School Board
Sitler runs unopposed for Anders position

By Monique Westaby
The Lake Holcombe School District will vote on board
members Tuesday, April 7, 2015. There is one open seat with
one candidate, Betty Sitler, looking to fill the position of Jeff
Anders, who opted not to run for re-election.
Following is a biography of Sitler, who answered and returned our questionnaire.
Betty Sitler
An Illinois native but no stranger to the
Lake Holcombe School District, Sitler
says she is seeking election to the board
for the opportunity to serve the district
and community in another capacity.
Sitler was a teacher at Lake Holcombe
from 1979 to 2002, and continues to substitute when needed. She was also a
Betty Sitler
teacher and principal in Illinois for 15
years prior to moving to Wisconsin in 1978.
She says her goal as a member of the school board is to
work with other members and administration, staff, students
and the community to make choices and decisions to benefit
our school and to provide the best education for our students.
Her goals for Lake Holcombe include exploring the best
ways to provide excellent education, assisting educators to
provide the best training for their classes, and to work with
the community to address their concerns and consider
input.
Aside from looking to serve on this board, Sitler served six
years on the board of directors for the Korean War EXPOW
Association, and currently serves on the board of deacon at
her church, which shes done for 16 years.

Sitler earned a bachelors degree in Elementary Education
and Music in 1964, and has done graduate work at Northern
Illinois University for administration; UW-Stout for technology; and UW-Eau Claire for Special Education.
She has also served as a Christian Education director, finance director/treasurer, president for the Holcombe
Womens Club, secretary for the Bowling Association, and
has been involved with Bandparents and Booster Club.
In regard to the idea of another referendum for Lake Holcombe, Sitler says she doesnt know much about it, but that
it will be a probable need in the next year or so.
We have a wonderful school and need to present this in a
way to encourage our community to support our school, said
Sitler.

Spring Elections Cadott Village Board
Incumbents wish to keep representing Cadott

By Kayla Peche
The Village of Cadott will vote on board members, Tuesday, April 7, 2015. There are four open seats with four candidates incumbents Anson Albarado, Randy Kuehni,
Terrance Licht and Jerry Rykal.
Following are biographies, in alphabetical order, of declared candidates who answered and returned our questionnaire.
Anson Albarado
Albarado, who is completing his first two-year term as
Cadott Village Board president, also served on the board as
a trustee for 17 years.
As a resident in Cadott for 38 years, Albarado taught high
school Technology Education and Drivers Education in
Cadott all but seven years. He received his bachelors degree
from UW-Stout after graduating high school in Waimea,
Kauai, Hawaii.
Albarado has had previous leadership positions as congregation president for St. Johns Lutheran Church and president
for the Cadott Education Association. He also represents District 8 as the Chippewa County supervisor.
The reason Albarado says he is seeking re-election is to
be fiscally responsible as we prepare Cadott for the future
while continuing to make decisions that provide Cadott residents with the best possible services.
My role is to make decisions that would be in the best interest for the citizens of Cadott, Albarado said. So their
quality of life is as good or better than the surrounding communities. Also, to make decisions on issues that would not
put a financial burden on the local taxpayer.
When asked his views on new business coming to Cadott
in a residential area, Albarado says he doesnt have an issue
as long as the process listed in the village ordinances is followed, such as going through a public hearing, rezoning and
providing a building plan.
After being asked his thoughts on how the school and village should collaborate on common issues, he says they need
to work together.
I believe if the village board and the school board have
issues that are common to both, he said, we should be able
to work together for a solution that benefits both the school
district and the village.
Randy Kuenhi
Kuehni currently holds a board member position on the
Cadott Village Board. He opted to not complete and return
our questionnaire.
Terrance Licht
After enjoying his first two years on the board, Licht says
thats why hes seeking re-election, as well as looking forward to working on the needs throughout the village.
Licht is a lifelong member
of Cadott, who says his role
on the board is to work at
determining need, its cost
and benefit to the village.
NOW SHOWING
After graduating from
Cadott High School in 1968, Licht went on to UW-Superior

for a bachelors degree in Education.
He has 39 years experience in sales and marketing of agricultural products and practices, and is a certified agronomist.
He is also part of the Cadott Lions Club, where he was a past
president.
When asked his thoughts on new businesses coming to
Cadott in the residential area, Licht said he would prefer new
business pursue locations in the present business district,
which would keep customers in front of all the businesses.
After asked how he thinks the village should work with the
school district on issues that affect both, Licht says the school
is part of the village.
The school is in the village, he said. Working together
should be a priority to make sure we have a safe and rewarding education experience for our students.
Jerry Rykal
Originally from the Cadott area, Rykal spent three years in
the Marine Corps before becoming a high school teacher, and
has since retired.
He received his bachelors degree from UW-Eau Claire,
and went on to attend graduate school at Eau Claire and
Lawrence University.
Besides serving on the village board, Rykal has been parish
council president, library board president and Cadott education assistant.
Rykal says he decided to run for re-election because some
projects are not yet finished, and no others are willing to run.
I have time to give back to the village, he said.
He says his primary role as a board member is to be aware
of the wishes of the people, yet be willing to make unpopular
decisions.
When asked his views on new business coming to residential areas in Cadott, Rykal said it was a tough question because Cadott has few areas suitable and available.
We need to be able to balance the views of residents with
the advantages of new business, he said.
As far as the village board working with the school board,
Rykal said it is best to work together. When differences
occur, all need to be willing to compromise to find suitable
solutions.

According to a report, Horan says they plan to gut the
building and restore it to its original condition.
At this time, we dont have any solid answers to how long
well be closed, said Horan. We are approximating five to
six months.
On the Building Blocks Early Learning Center Facebook
page, Horan posted, As I walked through the center today,
Icould still hear the laughter and yes screams of all our kiddos. Icannot express enough my love for all the BBELC kiddos and families.
Horan says the center had about 45 children on a daily
basis, and although 4K is being held at the elementary school,

those who were provided daycare had to find other outlets
for their children.
An insurance meeting was scheduled for March 24, and
damage estimates were still unknown as of deadline. Horan
says they are hoping to have answers as to a cause within the
week.
I think I am still in shock, she said. Its a very sad sight.
