Cadott Village Board
Village explores cheapest recycling

By Kayla Peche
Already implementing the prime way to eliminate garbage and recyclables with curbside removal, the Cadott Village Board is now considering working with Chippewa County
to find the cheapest way to recycle.
Renee Yohnk, recycling coordinator for Chippewa County, attended the April 20 regular
Cadott Village Board meeting to discuss a resolution to open bids for recycling and garbage
facilities.
Yohnk said after two studies were done in 2012 and 2014, looking at how municipalities
did recycling and garbage, the studies show Cadott has the prime service for recycling, but
could still improve.
If you would pool townships together and get a bigger contract, perhaps your rates would

When theres nothing to do in a small town, look again

By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
Its a relatively uniform
idea that small towns are
boring; at least to people
who dont live in a small
town, or those who want to
live in a big city. All too
often the phrase, Theres nothing to do, pops
out and a collective mhmmm resonates with the
surrounding bodies who are trying to find
something to do.
Thank goodness we dont have that problem
in our area.
In fact, we have quite the opposite problem
in Cadott, Cornell and Lake Holcombe.
Theres too much to do.
Take this last month for example. If you
were bored in April and had nothing to do,
then like those who say there arent any jobs,
you werent looking very hard.
April 6 the Cornell Lions Club held a membership drive at the American Legion Hall. Not
a Lion? Dont plan to be a Lion? No worries,
you could still enjoy some delicious pizza,
meet new people and have a night out.
The following night, the 21st Century Community Learning Center held a paint party at
the Cornell Elementary School. Participants
(about two dozen of them) laughed, joked
about their artistic abilities, and brought home
a one-of-a-kind painting to hang in their
homes.
Not from Cornell? The 15-minute drive isnt
that far, and the scenery this time of year is beginning to take on some beautiful qualities; like
the two young sandhill cranes seen strolling
along 27 on the way to Holcombe last week.
But Cadott does have their fair share of activities too.
If youre interested in learning about the
school district and how government affects
that, specifically Gov. Scott Walkers proposed
budget, a budget forum was held earlier this
month to give the public the opportunity to

speak their thoughts on the subject.
While the district discussed eliminating
some elementary music programs, high school
AP classes and limiting the number of miles
traveled for high school athletics (basically
eliminating the wrestling program), at a later
meeting the board nixed those ideas and voted
to not cut education for Cadott.
This month also featured BINGO in Cadott,
with proceeds benefitting the Cadott Class of
2015, pancakes at the Bohemian Hall, and
chicken at St. Johns Lutheran Church.
Spring sports are also in full swing now,
which means just about every other night
theres a baseball, softball, track or golf match
happening somewhere in the area. Not all may
be at home, but most are within a short traveling distance. And after the Knights close (7-5)
softball game last Thursday against Flambeau,
youll be on the edge of your seat as the teams
use the skills their coaches have been teaching.
Looking for a job? Cornell held a job fair
earlier this month, and representatives say they
plan for this to be a yearly event.
For the outdoorsmen and women, Lake Holcombe hosted their annual sport show, which
featured wood carvings, bow and arrow practice, and outdoor decor and tools for sale. A
snowmobile open house was also held in Cornell, and those attending could meet Miss
Snowflake, and hear about the changes to
A Kiddopalooza is scheduled for Saturday,

May 16, and all ages are welcome to attend the
event at the Cornell High School. Childfriendly activities and face painting, along with
healthy concessions, are planned for the free
event.
Lake Holcombe will graduate their kindergarten, eighth-grade and senior classes this
month; with Cadott graduating their seniors the
following week. Even if you dont have a student in school, this is the future of the community, and its never a bad idea to support the
students, staff and families.
And if you still think theres nothing to do
in a small town, mothers and sons are invited
to the first Mother/Son Fest at Mill Yard Park
May 20, area Memorial Day services will happen inCadott, Cornell and Lake Holcombe
May 25, and the second annual Angel Wings
of Love for Brain Cancer golf tournament (and
5K) will happen May 30, in Holcombe.
Organizers across the area have worked to
coordinate events for everyone, so stop spending the big bucks to head out of town, when
you can attend these events (many of which are
free or only cost a minimal amount) in your
own community. Staying local not only saves
on gas and money, it also supports the local
economy, and keeps local businesses, local.

to know ice is off the lakes statewide. But the

weather doesnt always cooperate with anglers,
comparing the last two years when fishermen
and women had to meander around the ice in
early May.
The forecast predicts sunny and 75 Saturday the perfect weather to lay on a dock or
boat, get a sun tan and catch some fish.
Most regular anglers know the proper preparation and gear to take with them on this eventful opening weekend.
Under DNRregulations, Wisconsin residents
and nonresidents age 16 and older need a license
to fish any waters in the state. An annual fishing
license costs $20, and $8 for a one-day conquest.
Besides the license, fishermen and women go
equipped with their rod and reel, fishing line and
tackle box. Plus, dont forget Walts worms to
catch a magnificent beast.
Yet, for someone who has gone fishing only
a few times in their lifetime, wearing the proper
clothes is just as important.
Take myself for instance. Iused to fish as a
child with my grandpa or cousins, mostly catching bullheads or pan fish. In my teenage years,
Igrew out of the whole fishing thing, preferring
to lay on the beach rather than sit on the boat
casting a line.
The whole sport may have been ruined when
Iwas 12 or 13, and my younger cousin hooked
me in the side of my face, near my eye. It may
not have put a scar on my face, but it definitely
scarred me from wanting to take a fish off a
hook.
As I got older, I would occasionally go with
friends off a dock or boat, but never caught anything really, other than a tree branch or slimy
algae. Last summer was when I became more
into fishing again.
My family takes an annual camping trip to
Tomahawk, where we have a weekend fishing
contest. Basically, the family who catches the
most fish wins. Last year, I caught a turtle on
my line, so I think we won by default.
This was the first time in a few years I purchased a license to get in on the fun. Now, as
my license expired, I purchased one this year to
venture out little did Iknow Ineeded to be
prepared with more than just a fishing license.
A few weeks ago, the weather was beautiful
and Iwas excited to finally wear shorts. My
friend had brought everything we needed to go
fishing, even a new pole. As he put the line on
at my house, he looked down at my feet.
What are you wearing? he asked, with a
puzzled look on his face.
I looked at him confused, and said, my flip
flops.
He chuckled a bit, and said it was up to me if
Iwanted to wear them, but first told me his flip
flop fishing tale.
He was fishing at a nice spot in Bruce when
his sister decided they should move to a new
place, because she wasnt getting any bites.
Equipped with his pole, cell phone and lawn
chair, he walked along the riverside where they
met up with some rocks to climb over.
His sister had climbed over with ease, but said
it was a bit slippery. He tried carefully, slowly
hopping from one rock to the next, when
SPLAT! He lost his balance, his flip flop flipped
off, and he was in the river with all his gear,
soaked from head to toe.
Thats the last time I wear flip flops fishing,
and carry my cell phone, he said.
The cell phone was ruined, and the fishing
fun was over since his clothes were soaked. He
said if he wouldve had better shoes on, he probably wouldnt have fell in.
Ilaughed at his story, but also put my flip
flops away, changing into a pair of tennis shoes.
It may have been nice out, but Ididnt want to
go swimming yet.
So this weekend, when you wake up early to
go out to catch a feast of fish, or maybe just
enjoy the sun while casting a line, remember to
always be equipped with your fishing pole,
worms and not your flip flops.

Chippewa County turkey flock succumbs to bird flu

The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has responded to a detection of H5
avian influenza in an 87,000 bird turkey flock in Chippewa
County, along with another detection in a 108,000 bird turkey
flock in Barron County.
With the detection in Chippewa County, that is now the
seventh case in Wisconsin, and the third in Barron County.
The virus was first detected in Wisconsin at a commercial
chicken flock in Jefferson County April 13, which led to the
depopulation of more than 180,000 egg-laying chickens.
Since then, three additional flocks were detected in Barron,
Juneau and Chippewa Counties, bringing the total of birds
destroyed to nearly 400,000 in the state.
Multiple outbreaks of avian influenza have occurred most
recently in Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Arkansas, the Dakotas
and Kansas, leading to the depopulation of more than 1 million turkeys and chickens since January.
While lethal to domestic poultry, the strain of virus detected is not known to cause disease in humans, and is not
expected to pose a risk to public health or the food supply.
Poultry owners can, and should, take precautions to prevent their flocks and birds from being infected. Early detection can help stop the spread of the disease. While checking
birds frequently, look for lower feed consumption, coughing
and sneezing, fewer eggs, closed eyes, or swollen combs
The virus is found in feces, saliva and respiratory secre-
tions of infected flocks and migratory water fowl especially

geese and ducks. Infection is spread mainly through direct
contact with infected birds, contaminated objects/equipment.
Spread of the disease through the air is possible in short distances, but the risk is very low.
Poultry owners should take precautions to protect their
flocks by practicing good biosecurity, which includes sanitizing equipment, keeping a designated pair of shoes to wear
around the birds, washing clothes after visiting birds, cleaning and disinfecting cages, poultry equipment and car tires
after visiting a farm store, or other location with birds present.
Do not share equipment or supplies with others and be sure
all equipment is disinfected. Wash hands before and after
handling birds. Restrict access to your property, and keep
birds away from other birds.
Many farms and residences will receive new chicks over
the next few weeks. Current recommendations allow new
birds to come into Chippewa County as long as they are from
an approved source. Keep new birds separate from the rest
of the flock for 30 days.
A ban on poultry movement to shows, exhibitions and
swap meets in Barron, Chippewa, Jefferson, and Juneau
Counties remains in effect.
Poultry owners and producers should monitor their flock
closely and report sick or dead birds to the DATCP at 1-800572-8981.

Nodolf said with the simplified case, the council could increase when needed, and the average cost to residents would
be about $1 extra or less a month on a 3,000 gallon usage.
The council also approved a Class B Beer and Class B
Liquor License application from Ann L. Baker, for Dixies
Bar at 216 Main Street. This will put the license in her name
until June 30, replacing her daughter, Dixie.

and started because of hot ashes left from the previous day. He says high winds caused a large brush
pile to start, but the fire was quickly contained. A
burning ban was not in place at the time, but fire
danger is high, and those interested in burning
should check the DNR website to verify burn status
before starting a fire. (Photo by Monique Westaby)

Holcombe Happenings
By Janice Craig 715-595-4380
Saturday was a very big day in Holcombe.
Denis Kirkman turned 80, that is a milestone.
Not only did all of his children join in the
party, but so did his grandchildren and greatgrandchildren; and he got to see the newest
little one, Mason.
To top it all off a strange sound came
winding down the way; it was bagpipes.
Gayle and the children hired a man from near
Madison to drive up and join them, and play
the bagpipes. Well, that was the icing on
the cake. Denis usually does smile a lot, but
there was a very big grin on his face. Con-
gratulations.
Janice Craig hosted another health seminar
at the Northwoods Church in Cornell, Saturday. They heard of a lady who was pain free
in two hours without surgery. There were
other miracles shared, and many testimonies
given by those present.
Ramona Scharf and her daughter, Lynn,
drove to Rockford, Ill., Saturday, to attend
the funeral of her first cousin.
I am finally seeing people out riding their
bicycles after the long winter of icy
roads. Get out and enjoy this beautiful
weather.

Crescent Meats garners grand champion honors

Crescent Meats, of Cadott, was recognized at the 76th annual convention
of the Wisconsin Association of Meat
Processors April 9-12, in Madison.
During the Meat Product Show, held
in conjuction with the convention,
Crescent Meats, owned and operated
by Wayne and Stacey Lautsbaugh, took
home Grand Champion with their head
cheese in the Luncheon on Jellied Loaf
Division.
Obviously, any time you can compete in the state level competition,
which is one of the best out there, were
very proud we consistently have good
luck, said Wayne. Weve won with
our head cheese before, and it seems to
be well liked.
The locker also earned Reserve
Grand
Champion
for
their
cured/smoked beef and bologna, and

reserve champion in skinless weiners
and boneless ham.
More than 40 judges evaluated products in 36 categories, scoring on external and internal appearance, aroma and
taste.
As a smaller meat processing plant,
were very proud we can offer high
quality products, Wayne said.

Continued from Front
Cadott Village Board

The board put approval of the resolution on the agenda for
the May 4 regular meeting.
Also added to the May 4 agenda for approval is rezoning
the property at 531 N. Main Street from residential to commercial.
In November, Melinda Murkley and Liz Pitsch, Cadott residents, brought forward plans to put a full spa and salon, including above apartments and a community room, at this
location. In order to move forward with plans, Pitschs property needs a rezoning change.
Then, in January, the board held a public hearing for the
zone change, and a few neighboring residents said they didnt
feel comfortable putting a business in their residential area.
The board then asked Murkley for state approved plans before moving forward with the project.
The thing is, it costs her a lot of money to get a state approved plan, said Anson Albarado, village president. So if
there is no intention by the board of rezoning it, she doesnt
want to spend that extra money.
Sandy Buetow, village clerk, said normally, the board
would have given approval during the public hearing, but the
rezoning was tabled.
At our next board meeting, we will make the final decision whether or not to rezone that property, Albarado said.
Board member Charles Sedivy said he thought the plans
Murkley has now wont be state approved because of apartment exits and other issues. Rykal agreed, saying he would
like to see state plans with elevation shown.
Lester Liptak, board member, said he still had a problem
with the parking situation, and when businesses on Main
Street hold events, the addition of a community room would
cause traffic chaos.
You could have a perfect storm in a two-block radius with
300 to 400 cars, Liptak said. I guess that was my concern.
The way Ilook at it is, where else can somebody build
something in Cadott if they cant do it on Main Street? said
Rykal. I understand what the people are saying too, its not
an easy decision.
No matter how it goes, somebody is going to be mad,
added Randy Kuehni, board member.
Bart Chapek, board member, said people have been talking
about the new spa and salon on Facebook, and he says he
thinks a lot more people would be for it if the village had another public hearing.
We have to weigh the needs of Cadott, Chapek said.
What are the odds of us getting a nice place like this?
I dont think you should discourage people to have a business on Main Street of Cadott, or Main Street of any little
town, Sedivy said. Pretty much every little town has one
or two businesses closed up; you sure dont want to have less
business in town.
Also on the agenda was approval to move forward with a
facility plan for phosphorus removal. Jeff Nussbaum, village
engineer, informed the board that the waste water treatment
permit needs renewal in 2016. The new permit has phosphorus regulations with a limit of .075 milligrams per liter, down
from the villages limit of .17 milligrams per liter.
You are doing really well, Nussbaum said. Unfortunately, you are at a point where in June, the compliant schedule says to make a facilities amendment plan.
The board approved Nussbaum to move forward with finding options for the village to bring the milligrams lower to
comply with regulations.
On other agenda, Diane Falkenberg was appointed as the
new library board member for the Cadott Public Library, replacing Lila McConville, whose term is up in May.
Anson Albarado, village president, said it was recommended by the library board to approve Falkenberg to the position, and the remaining members agreed she was good for
the job.

News and Notes from the Principals Desk

By Dave Elliott
Cornell Middle and
High School Principal
I was speaking with a parent last week, and
we discussed what could be done over the
summer to help with learning. My answer
was to have your student read.
Research studies released by the academic
journals Reading Research Quarterly and
Cadott
Elementary
Class of the
Week
Public Library Quarterly, state that students

retain, and even gain, substantial knowledge
if they continually read at sustained levels
over the course of the summer.
Sustained reading levels are defined as
continual reading for approximately 30 up to
70 minutes per day. The reading must be interesting to the student and still challenging.
The students should have a resource to look
Joy Nowaks
Third-Grade
Joy Nowak says her Cadott third-graders are an enthusiastic group of 14 boys and four girls, and recently heard about fractions and decimals. With April
as National Poetry Month, students have read poetry
books and written poems. These third-grade friends
say they love their ThinkPad laptops, and often
demonstrate what they have learned through the use
of technology. Students in the class are Jayden
Winchell, Colton Froseth, Ashton Bremness, Lukas
Simenson, Michael Hazard, Dylan White, Kelcey Benson, Anson Curtis, Henry Danielson, Chase Wundrow, Jay Hendrickson, Cal Obry, Gavin Franzen,
Cole Malecki, Katlynn Jackson, Thomas Scheidler,
Alex Gindt and Elijah Kauffeld.
up words that they may not know.

Summer reading is recommended for middle and high school students. Success is often
found when a student finds a specific subject
area, author or book series they like.
If your student is a reluctant reader, then
finding a magazine of their interest may be
the answer. Setting aside a required time for
them to read per day is also a strategy that
works.
As we all know, information is now delivered more and more in small bits. Text messages, Snapchat, news reports scrolling
headlines on the bottom of a television channel, and e-mail are now how most of us receive information.
Sustained reading is so valuable to learning and needs to be practiced. Today, we all
need to work together to build great reading
habits.
I do know the reality and the hassle factor when fighting with some of the students
to get them to read on their own. Some just
do not like to read and some just dont find
reading easy.
I taught reading for several years and un-
derstand that battle. The initial fight is worth

it. It may take just one book to light their
reading passion.
I know because I was a reluctant reader
and my father kept encouraging me to read.
One day, he brought me home 23rd Street
Crusaders, by John F. Carson, and I began to
enjoy reading.
Below are some of our end-of-the-year
events at our middle and high school:
May 2 - Junior Prom from 8 p.m. to midnight. The public is invited to witness the
Grand March and coronation of Prom King
and Queen at 10:30 p.m. We ask the public
to leave after the coronation to allow for the
continuation of prom. There is no cost for the
public to attend.

at 7 p.m.
May 20 - Cornell Lions Honor Banquet at
6 p.m., in the high school commons

might feel like. The program has been in place for about 14 years, and Elling

learning. The board was also offered a quiz, to see how students in different locations can work together through the monitors. (Photo by Monique Westaby)

Archers shoot for adoption

of local highway roadsides
The Cornell Archery team spent time cleaning their stretch
of State Highway 27, between County Road K and County
Road TT. The team says this a great way to give back to their
community for the support they have received.
With the end of archery season upon us, it is now time for
the team to focus on fund-raising efforts, said Carol Hakes,
coach.
The team plans to meet their goals by expanding the program to include 3D targets and an electronic scoring machine.
Hakes says they also plan to raise money to finance future
trips to the National Archery Tournament in Louisville, Ky.
The kids want to have a 3D archery team to compete during the 2016 season, said Hakes, as well as host both a
round target and 3D target tournament in Cornell.
The teams first fund-raising event, open to everyone, will
be at the Cornell High School Sunday, May 17, at 2 p.m.,
and will consist of archers shooting a typical National
Archery in Schools Program tournament after getting pledges
from the community for each bullseye shot.

one, two or three of our summer school sessions, now is
the time to do so. The first session is June 15-18, and June
22-25; the second session is July 20-23; and the third session is Aug. 17-20.
There are two sessions of summer swimming at the
Stanley-Boyd School. Students can register for one or
both sessions. The sessions are 10 days long, and run
Monday-Friday. The first session is July 6-17, and the
second session is July 20-31.
Knowing how to swim is a valuable life skill. Please
be sure your child attends lessons here or somewhere
else; it may save them or someone else someday.
On financial matters, there are still a lot of questions
about what the state will allow for revenues, and if any
other laws will change related to education. I frequently
contact our legislators to lobby for our school district and
share my perspective on educational needs for students.
Its an interesting time in public education, but as we
are mandated to do more with less and make many
changes, we still offer a very good education for the children of the Cornell School District.

PROM - SCHOOL NEWS
Lake Holcombe held their Junior Prom A Night at Gatsbys April 25, at the school. Students decorated
the gym like a ballroom, complete with chandelier and mood lighting, and the king and queen were
crowned on stage, amidst pillars of lights. Those on court, sitting, are 2015 Prom Queen Kareese Jiskra,
Bailey Viegut (holding prince Slate Linskey), Jordan Geist, Courtney Lundmark and Chase Fronk. Standing, are 2014 Prom King Rocky Winchel, Matt Nedland, Will Hattamer, 2015 Prom King Nick Seng (holding
princess Ellie Luethi), Alec Hurlburt, Tyler Jones and 2014 Prom Queen Haylee Hennekens.
After a mistake by a class adviser crowned Jordan

Geist queen during Lake Holcombe prom Saturday
night, Kareese Jiskra (shown) was officially given
her rightful title during a ceremony for the school
Monday morning, April 27. Although the two didnt
get to share a dance, Nick Seng, king, posed as
such with his queen. Mark Porter, principal, said
this has never happened since hes been at the
school, but that the girls on court were very understanding about the situation. Porter said he offered
a co-queen position, but Jordan chose against the
idea, requesting only to crown the one who should
have been given the title.

Perfect pitch strikes Hornet victory

By Kayla Peche
The Cadott Hornets Baseball team earned
their first victory April 24, against the Thorp
Cardinals. Peter Devine, Cadott baseball
head coach, says he hopes the win will make
the team more relaxed.
We did the same thing last year with the
slow start, only worse, Devine said. We
then picked it up and by the end of the season
we were much more competitive.
April 24 vs. Thorp (W 2-0, conference)
Devine says the main reason for the win
against the Cardinals was how well Ezra
Michael (senior) pitched during the game.
Michael pitched all seven innings and only
gave up two hits one blooper and one
Devine says the shortstop could have picked
up. Also in those seven innings on the
mound, Michael struck out 10 Thorp opponents.
He only walked one batter the whole
game, Devine said. His ability to throw
strikes was the key.
The Hornets were low on batting with
three total hits from juniors Jake Holum and
Austin Goettl, and senior Brett McChesney.
McChesney and Goettl also hit two RBIs,
scoring the only runs for the team, and defeating the Cardinals 2-0.
After the game, Devine said he spoke to
the team about picking up their base running
and hitting.
We should have been able to score more
than two runs offensively, said Devine.
Just like against Stanley, the players seem
to struggle more with slower pitching than
faster pitchingwe will see with the next
four games this week and three or four again
next week.
Sliding into third base, junior Casey
Schara is tagged out before reaching
the plate for the Hornets. Cadott still
earned their first win of the season
April 24 against the Thorp Cardinals.
April 27 vs. Regis (L 16-3, conference)

Defensive errors hurt the Hornets during
the April 27 game against Eau Claire Regis,
and Devine says Michael was still worn out
from the shutout game against Thorp, which
slowed Cadott down.
In the two innings pitched, Michael had
three strikeouts, but allowed five base runners. With relief pitcher Goettl on the mound,
Goettl had one strikeout, allowing only about
three base runners per inning.
McChesney and senior Quinn Sikora each
had two hits and one RBI.
Regis hit a home run and overall hit the
ball well and took advantage of our mistakes, said Devine. We also never strung
our hits together. They were spread out so not
many base runners scored.
Cadott only made it home three times,
which cost the Hornets the conference game,
16-3.
Cadott played Osseo-Fairchild April 28,
then will return home April 30 to play
Granton, and May 1 to play McDonell Central.

Besides the second place finishes for the Cornell-Lake Holcombe girls and boys track teams, individual athletes also hit high
marks at an April 23 meet in Bruce.
Junior Elizabeth Sproul broke the team shot put record with
her third place finish at 30-8, and senior Thia Moreen broke the
team 400-meter dash record in second place with 1:04.88.
For the boys, sophomore Colton Hetke had four first-place finishes in the 110-meter hurdles, 400 dash, 300-meter hurdles and
high jump.
The last time a Knights track team member (Travis Anderson)
did that was three years ago, said Jake Ebner, track head coach.
Hetke says the meet went so well for him because he had to
make up for his performance in a previous meet.
Considering I usually dont place at meets last season, getting
those four first-place finishes really boosted my confidence,
Hetke said. Im hoping to keep the success going and score as
many points for my team as possible to help us win.
Others scoring points for the Knights were first place finishes
from freshman Isabelle Dixon in the triple jump, and Courtney
Lundmark in the discus.
Junior Jordan Geist placed second in the 200-meter dash, senior Gretchen Schroeder placed second in the pole vault, and junior
Matt Nedland placed third in the 800-meter run.
For relays, the girls 4x400 and 4x800 took second place for
Cornell-Lake Holcombe. The boys team took third in the 4x200
and 4x400, with a fifth place finish in the 4x800.
The Knights competed April 28, at Chetek-Weyerhaeuser, before their first home meet of the season, April 30.
By Kayla Peche
With two conference games in a row, the Cornell-Lake
Holcombe baseball team is adding wins to their standings
with their first victory against Flambeau, and another at home
against Clear Lake.
This team is getting better every game, said John Lee,
Knights baseball head coach.
April 23 vs. Flambeau (W 9-4, conference)
In their first victory of the season, sophomore Jeremiah
Reedy led the Knights with nine strikeouts, and only walking
four in the 9-4 win against Flambeau.
Lee says Reedy has been working on keeping his walks
down, and said he pitched well.
Cornell-Lake Holcombe took a good lead early in the April
23 game, scoring four in the first, three in the third and two
more in the fourth.
The team played as a team, and we hit the ball a lot better
than we have been, said Reedy. We started off fast, and
then coasted the rest of the game.
Sophomore Noah Nohr went two for four with two RBIs
and two runs scored to lead the Knights. Reedy, senior Preston Strzok and sophomore Matt Kostka each added a pair
of runs while senior Luke Seyler finished the game with four
RBIs, and junior Cole Stephens went two for two with two
RBIs.
The boys were a lot more fired up tonight, Lee said after
the game. They started believing that we can win. I think
this win will really get them going.
April 27 vs. Clear Lake (W 2-1, conference)
Cornell-Lake Holcombe scored runs early during the April
27 game vs. Clear Lake to jump start their way to victory, but
Lee says if it wasnt for Nohr going the distance on the
mound, the team wouldve never won.
With 14 strikeouts (the most so far this season), Nohr gave
up no earned runs, and one unearned run on an error. He also
only had four hits against him with two walks.
We only had one error and a great job pitching by Noah
Nohr, said Lee. They were able to hold off Clear Lake to
get the victory.
In the first inning, senior John Stender Jr. reached first base
on a walk, and stole second for the Knights. Reedy was then
hit by a pitch, and Matt Kostka hit a double for two RBIs to
score for Cornell-Lake Holcombe.
All the Knights needed was that first inning to win the
game, 2-1, against Clear Lake.
The Knights play Bruce April 30, and Cadott May 4.

Hornets battle conference competitors

By Kayla Peche
After a solid win against Stanley-Boyd, the Cadott Hornets Softball team struggled this
week against two more conference competitors.
April 24 vs. Thorp (L 14-1, conference)
The Hornets played their first home game April 24, against the Thorp Cardinals. Despite
support from fans, the Hornets couldnt get enough hits on offense to score the runs needed.
Senior Racheal Semanko went two for three at bat, and scored Cadotts only run as sophomore Brittany Erickson hit her home. Senior Marisa Sperber also had a hit for the Hornets,
but it wasnt enough to score.
The Cardinals took lead right off the bat in the first inning, 7-0. By the third, Cadott had
scored one run, bringing it 9-1.
Erickson pitched the five innings with five strikeouts, but allowed 15 hits. The Hornets
ended the game with the 10-run rule (when a team scores 10 runs ahead of their opponent,
the game ends before the seventh inning), and lost 14-1.
April 27 vs. Regis (L 18-4, conference)
The following game April 27, against Eau Claire Regis, wasnt much better for Cadott.
It definitely wasnt our greatest game, said Racheal Semanko, Cadott senior player. We
all have things to work on but we have come together a lot this year as a team.
Semanko said the team is close, so when one person is feeling down, the rest of the team
gets down. She said she thinks that is what happened with the game against Eau Claire.
Regis led the game by four in the first inning, but Cadott came back with two runs, making
it 5-2 by the second.

Opening night draws 13 Hornets to Eagle Valley

By Monique Westaby
The clouds cleared and the sun shone for the first night of
racing at Eagle Valley Speedway April 26. Although the wind
made for a slightly chilly evening of competition, fans stuck
it through until the end to see two heats and a feature from
the Hornets.
The track is kind of new, said Jerry Weigel, track owner,
during the drivers meeting. We just put it on last fall. Corner one kind of rolls, but it didnt really chunk out like last
year.
Weigel said the track was much harder for Sunday nights
program, as compared to practice night the week before. Im
hoping for good things.
By the time the 13 Hornets rolled onto the track for the
evening ending feature, a hole had formed in turns one and
two, but the usual bump in turns three and four stayed flat.
Gleesons Kasey Gross led most of heat one, finishing first,
but on the redraw, he was placed outside row two for the feature, next to Sean Svee of Menomonie. Jeremy Johnson,
Elmwood, won his heat, and led the pack for the feature, with
Dan Prissel starting second.
On the checkered, Johnson jumped to an early lead with
Gross close behind, followed by Austin Berger, Mondovi,
and Sean Svee, Menomonie. Prissel got into the mix and
soon pulled away from Berger.
As laps wound down, Gross and Prissel battled for second,
leaving Svee and Hoff in their dust. Berger and Darrell
Komro kept side-by-side behind the first five, while Scott
Westaby and Dillon Pronschinske tried to make their way to
the front of the pack.
By the white flag, Johnson still had the lead, but Prissel
and Gross were hot on his tail. The three held their positions
for one more lap, finishing first, second and third for the first
night of racing at Eagle Valley.
Its a new car, said Johnson. Well, not new, but its been
reworked. Its the second win of the season.
Finishing behind the top three were Svee, Westaby, Berger,
Hoff, Komro, Pronschinske, Ashley Seidler, Shane Lindseth,
and Chuck Wald. Leaving the track before the checkered was
Brent Hauge.

Its a Girls Hunting

Life
By: Monique Westaby
Hook, Line and Sinker
Ive never been an avid
fisher-person, but as a kid, I
loved ice fishing, especially with my brothers. I couldnt
catch anything other than a cold, but I enjoyed seeing how
well things could fit through the small opening on the ice.
After determining my big brothers fishing pole did indeed fit through the hole, and doesnt float, I wasnt as
welcome on the ice with him.
But my senior year of high school, and the summer
after, I spent a lot of time on the open water, and soon
learned that summer fishing was just as good as ice fishing.
I met my now-husband in mid-March, just before the
annual sucker run. Several of our first dates included
heading to Holcombe to try our hand at catching the goofy
looking scaley fish. I giggled as Scott pulled the first one
onto shore and showed me what one looked like.
Their lips are huge and they look like a big kiss waiting
to happen. Every time we catch one, Im still amused at
how funnier-looking they get.
Cast after cast wed toss the big worm into the water
and wait, our poles leaning against the y-sticks lined up
against the shoreline. Of course, wed try fishing for other
varieties, but mostly caught the rocks they swam around.
And by mostly, I mean 90 percent of the time sucker
fishing is spent retying baits or putting new line on the
pole. When it comes to water, Scott and I can catch rocks
and sticks like nobodys business.
I laugh thinking about the time spent together behind a
rod and reel.
Everything is quiet, and then you hear vizeeee! You look
over and your partners pole is bent. Your heart pounds
and you ask what they caught. Your partner looks back at
you and glares, and you know all too well what they
caught.
After several minutes of moving from one side of the
shore to the other, and waving the pole up and down like
Dennis the Menace with a flaming marshmallow, eventually the line breaks and the next 10 minutes are spent retying line.
At the time its not funny (well, to the person its happening to), but looking back its comical how many fish
have been missed because a bait is stuck in a tree or under
a boulder.
Last year, I didnt have the time to go sucker fishing,
and any other kind of fishing was limited to maybe once
or twice. Ice fishing this winter was non-existent, but with
the annual opener this weekend, Im more than excited to
hit the water and see
how many rocks, I
mean fish, I can catch
this year.
Mudpuppies occasionally make their
way onto a sucker line
and while they are
kind of neat with
their feet and fins,
they still gross me out
and warrant a what
the heck is that look
when pulling them
ashore.
Signs of spring abound despite some light snow.

Lakes are open statewide, and angling pressure on northwoods waters has been generally light, with a few sucker and
panfish anglers trying their luck.
Walleye spawning started very quickly, but the unsettled
weather and cold water temperatures have extended it, with
a few ripe male and female walleye still found near spawning
grounds.
Perch are in the middle of their annual spawning ritual, and
musky spawning kicks into full gear when the water temperature gets in the low 50-degree range.
Sucker fishing has been fair, with decent catches of redhorse and white sucker coming from the deeper holes on the
Flambeau and Chippewa Rivers.
First period turkey hunters report good success in northwestern and eastern counties, while hunters in south central
areas report turkeys seemed quiet so far.
Bike trails are drying out, with the Red Cedar and
Chippewa River trails in excellent condition for the coming
bike/running season.
Look for a coming state-wide green up, but forestry officials still caution that conditions are dry, and fire danger
could rise again quickly.
Mallards, wood ducks and bluebirds are nesting, and eagle
chicks will hatch soon.
Recent bird arrivals include swallows, early warblers of
yellow-rumped, palm, yellow and pine, Henslow sparrow,
and marshbirds such as sora and Virginia rails.
In counties across the state, chorus frogs are in full roar,
with wood frogs and spring peepers out.
Snakes are seen, along with painted turtles sunning themselves on logs after emerging from their winter homes on
non-rainy days.
Spring ephemerals including prairie smoke, dutchman
breeches, hepaticas and bloodroot are blooming beneath decaying leaves in the upland woods, and skunk cabbages and
marsh marigolds bloom in wet lowlands. Wild leeks or ramps
are also leafing out.
An Outdoorsmans Journal
By Mark Walters
Possible Changes for Wisconsin Outdoor Enthusiasts

Hello friends,
Each spring, on the second Monday in April, the DNR
and the Wisconsin Conservation Congress hold their annual
spring meetings in all 72 counties in Wisconsin. These
meetings provide the opportunity for the public to vote on
potential rule changes and modifications that quite often
benefit those of us who enjoy the great outdoors.
This week, I am going to briefly write on what I feel are
some potential rule changes that are both interesting and
what I feel you should know about.
Currently, if you are hunting pheasant, ruffed grouse,
Hungarian partridge, squirrels and rabbits you can only possess twice the daily bag limit in your cooler or freezer.
Should this rule be changed, the possession limit would
change to three
times the daily
bag limit. I voted
in favor of this
common sense
rule change.
The elimination
of trapping restriction hours.
Currently, it is illegal to check or
set traps between
8 p.m. and 4 a.m.
There are trapBlack bear hunters may see some pers out there
changes in Zone C.
who, with the
current hours, have no other time to do it. I back the elimination of trapper restriction hours.
Antler point restrictions. The County Deer Advisory
Council had a question Do you favor antler restriction
rules? This would be a per county regulation and in simple
terms, in some counties, would restrict shooting bucks with
small antlers. I opposed this potential change in our current
structure, which allows bucks with an antler over 3 inches
to be harvested.
There are many people out there who love to harvest a
buck and, after sitting three hours or nine days, would be
very happy to harvest a 3-point buck; which is also much
better eating than a mature buck.
Here is a question, which my reply will perhaps get some
good people mad at me Would you support bear hunting
with dogs in Zone C, north of Highway 21?
Currently, you may train bear hounds in Zone C up until
a few days before the start of bear hunting season but, after
that, you have to hunt in another zone.
I have many friends who hunt bear with dogs. I respect
this method of bear hunting. If this rule change happens, I
will support it.
My opinion and vote is to not allow the rule change. Let

the bait hunters have one zone, where they do not have to
worry about dogs pushing bear off their bait.
Anyone who hunts Zone C is well aware that there are a
lot of bear hunters in it, as it is our unit that is the closest to
Wisconsins largest cities. Unless you are going in deep or
have private land baiting, it is a challenge because of so
much competition.
Another potential rule change would allow bear hunting
to begin Sept. 1. This would allow hunting black bear a few
days earlier than our present rules allow, and is pretty much
common sense.
When the acorns start to fall, a large percentage of black
bear that are hitting baits leave the baits and work the new
food which, whether you are paying a guide or did your
own baiting, is a major bummer.
There would be years where this rule change would benefit hunters and I do not see any negativity that would come
with it.
Here is a no brainer Currently, conservation wardens
cannot enforce potential trespass violations. If someone is
trespassing on your land, you have to call your county sheriffs office.
If this rule changes, a conservation warden could enforce
trespass violations. If a warden can help stop a potential
bank robber while on duty, why cant he or she write a ticket
for a trespass violation?
Here goes some more of my friends bye allowing a
sandhill crane season. Have you ever gone west in the fall?
They shoot swans and sandhill cranes out there, and do so
because they manage the harvest.
Waterfowl hunters and farmers know a well managed
sandhill crane harvest is going to have no significant bearing on the amount of sandhill cranes in Wisconsin (remember the uproar about the mourning dove season/over-blown
waste of time and money).
There are several more topics I could write about but I
think I better upgrade my life insurance because of what I
just wrote and leave well enough alone.
Just remember, most of this is POTENTIAL, not guaranteed. If you do not like what you read, did you go to the
meetings?

Mike Rivers, state park ranger in Cornell, discussed the importance of state
parks throughout Wisconsin to Cornell third- and fourth-graders April 21, for
Earth Week. Rivers said state parks provide habitat for animals (even ones
undiscovered yet) and open an opportunity for people to learn about nature.
Rivers said to preserve the land and animals in the parks, they let nature take
its course. He also encouraged everyone to take a hike through Brunet Island
State Park, because Cornell is lucky to have a park right in the city.

OUTDOOR ED-VENTURE
Outdoor Ed-venture
The 21st Century Community Learning Center held their annual Outdoor Edventure at Mill Yard Park April 26. After dealing with bad weather in previous
years, the sun came out and made for a great day for attendance. Andrea
Smith, coordinator, said it was nice to have room to spread out activities, where
in previous years, everything was confined to
under the pavilion.
(Photos by
Monique Westaby)
Allie Turany, 9, Cornell, said she doesnt have a

place picked out for her birdhouse, but now has
one built and ready for a bluebird. Her dad, Steve
Turany, says they attend the neat event every
year, and that it was good to see a great turnout.
Smokey Bear (Amanda Smith), Jordan Spegal and

the Gordys Guru (Matt Selvig), compete in a game
of Kubb. Selvig says they won the game, even
though Smokey had to step out when her fur got
a little warm in the sun. Two games of Kubb were
won that day by Selvig, and he said hes thinking
about retiring while hes ahead.
Bryce DeJongh, 5, Cornell, lets an arrow fly with the

help of Cornell High School archer McKenzie Hall.
Although Bryce didnt hit the bullseye, he was
awarded a medal for his efforts.
Hadleigh Bleske, 2, of New York, daughter of Julius

and Arica Bleske, formerly of Cornell, made a surprise visit to family in Wisconsin for a few days, and
attended Outdoor Ed at Mill Yard Park. Hadleigh
was more than excited to wave and say, Hi, to
Smokey Bear (Amanda Smith), but was delighted
when she won a tent and the opportunity to give
Smokey a hug.
Held by his mom, Jennifer Krueger, 16-month-old

Kesslin Krueger giggles as he pets Snickers, one
of two horses Linda Flater brought to Outdoor
Ed-venture. Linda has
Turning Point Stables,
and had beads and
lanyards available for
kids to make horse
jewelry.
Griffen Lazarz, 4, Jim Falls, gets some help from Bill

Lee at the National Wild Turkey Federations BB
gun range. This was Griffens first time at Outdoor
Ed, but his mom said he was loving it. Julie
Gilbertson, helper with the range, said the weather
blessed this years event, and over 60 kids had already shot at the range in the first two hours.
