Area residents will have the opportunity to make a contri-

bution to the American Red Cross at the Cornell Community

Blood Drive Monday, Jan. 5, from noon to 6 p.m., at Our

Saviors Lutheran Church.

We need the blood, please come out and give, said or-

ganizer Sue Jensen.

A drivers license or blood donor card is required. Sixteen-

year-olds are eligible to donate with a signed Red Cross

parental consent form.

The community blood drive has set their donation goal at

25 pints, but Jensen says they also share numbers of pints to

the Cornell High School Blood Drive toward scholarships

for student volunteers if necessary.

Wed love to make our goal, and above and beyond that,

Jensen said. Its the best gift; it saves lives.

To schedule an appointment, call Sue Jensen at 715-239-

6752.

The Cornell Community Blood Drive isnt the only oppor-

tunity to give in the new year. A blood drive will also be held

Monday, Jan. 12, 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., in the Cadott High

School small gym, hosted by the Cadott Future Business

Leaders of America (FBLA).

Shari Gunderson, FBLA adviser, says throughout the day,

FBLA members help the blood center unload equipment and

set up, log students in and out, and oversee the recovery area.

We are hoping for 48 usable units, said Gunderson.

Many of these come from our student donors, aged 16 and

above.

Gunderson says the purpose of the blood drive is to begin

students on a lifetime of donation.

We often have grads come back as walk-in donors the day

of the drive, Gunderson said. We are hoping this will hap-

pen again this year before students return to college. January

is typically a month where donations are low, and all dona-

tions stay in this area of Wisconsin.

To make an appointment, contact Shari Gunderson at 715-

289-3795, ext. 4220.

Cornell and Cadott to host community blood drives

Cornell School Board

District salaries may increase in January

By Monique Westaby

At the regular board meeting Dec. 22, Paul Schley, su-

perintendent, proposed increasing salaries for full-time

teachers by $2,000. He also proposed a pro-rated increase

for part-time teachers, and support staff hourly increases.

It still keeps us fairly low compared to a lot of area

schools, said Schley, but at least its a decent raise I can

justify.

Schley had proposed a change at the November regular

meeting, telling board members that post Act 10, salaries

for teachers were really jumping up.

We used to be well above Chippewa, they were $28,500

and we were $33,000 and now they jumped to $35,000,

said Schley at the November meeting. We dont want to

be non-competing.

Support staff salary increases include those for the book-

keeper, lead custodian, custodian I, district administrator

assistant, lead cook, cooks, custodial aids, nurse, office as-

sistants and paraprofessionals.

The decision will be acted on at the Jan. 26 regular meet-

ing, along with a benefit increase from $16,200 to $17,400.

Schley says even with a $2,000 increase, the district will

still be lower teacher salaries than others in the area

(Gilman, $35,535; Cadott, $35,893; and Lake Holcombe

$36,768).

On other agenda, the board approved hiring Steve Parker

as the biology/chemistry teacher for the 2015-16 school

year. Schley says Matt Amundson, the current chemistry,

physics and calculus teacher, will not be returning next year.

He (Amundson) actually retired three years ago and has

since come back to help us out on a part-time basis, said

Schley in an email. He is retiring again at the end of the

school year and we will miss him greatly.

With spring elections coming up, two board members are

on the ballot Lyle Briggs (president) and Paul Wallerius

(treasurer). Briggs says he is running again, and Wallerius

says although he hasnt submitted his decision yet, he is

leaning toward running again.

Cornell city employees take down a tree on the cor-

ner of South 7th Street Dec. 18. Taking advantage

of the bare ground, city workers have kept busy

trimming and cutting trees around town. John

Westaby, utility/public works supervisor for the city,

says ash trees are the main concern, because many

of the trunks are split and dying.

OPINIONThursday, January 1, 2015COURIER SENTINELPage 2By Monique Westaby

Managing Editor

What a year 2014 has

been.

January marks my one

year anniversary as editor

of this newspaper. Its had

its ups and downs, maybe

more downs than ups at times, but overall, the

experience has been good.

So whats in a year? Twelve months, 52

weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours and 525,600

minutes. Research suggests the average per-

son takes 12-20 breaths per minute; thats

about 8.5 million breaths, conservatively, in

one year.

Of those 8.5 million breaths, I would guess

about 6.5 million of mine were slow, deep

breaths, where I reminded myself this was

just a job, and to not let myself stress over

something someone said.

Starting out, I made my fair share of mis-

takes in the newspaper (and yes, I know some

still get by here and there) and I heard about

it just about every time. Sometimes the phone

calls and emails were kind reminders to

recheck our facts, while others were quite bla-

tant about NOTGETTINGITWRONG.

I took a breath, apologized, said I was still

getting used to the responsibilities, and

moved on my way with the next weeks issue.

So does that mean theres no excuse for

printing incorrect information? At times, but

our brains are an incredible organ that tends

to play tricks on us, even when we try our

hardest to look for mistakes.

Just the other day I wrote a column titled

He who has the most toys doesnt win, but hedonates the most does. Did you read thatheadline with a who after the second he?

Because I did, several times, as did the others

who read my article. In fact, it made it

through three or four readings before it was

rounding ones.

Im the same way. Growing up I didnt care

about the Hornets Nest or Cornell school

news, I wanted to read Chieftain Chatter, be-

cause thats where I was from. Now, having

worked for a newspaper which covers each

of the three areas, Ive found myself inter-

ested in all of them.

I get excited when Cadott wins a basketball

game, or Cornell pays off their mortgage. I

like seeing Lake Holcombe earn All-Confer-

ence while Cornell gets a new wheel loader.

Or hearing that Cadott finished their waste

water treatment plant, and Lake Holcombe is

adding to their Wayside Park. Ive grown at-

tached to all three communities, and this com-

ing year, Id like to see our readers do the

same.

It doesnt matter how many times Cadott

and Cornell are on the front, or if Lake Hol-

combe ran inside. In a few weeks, Cadott will

be where Lake Holcombe was and Cornell

will be where Cadott was; it all evens out in

the course of a year.

Take a deep breath and make 2015 a year

of change. Open your hearts, and reading

eyes, to your neighboring communities, you

might be surprised at how interesting they

are.

By Ginna Young

community [kuh-myoo-ni-tee]

1. a social group of anysize whose members re-side in a specific locality,share government, andoften have a common cul-tural and historical heritage

That may be the definition of community

according to dictionary.com, but to me, com-

finally caught by our proof reader.

But people dont care about small mistakes

and mishaps like those. Its the getting names

spelled wrong, printing seemingly incorrect

information, or the one we hear the most

theres too much in the paper about (insert

neighboring town/school) and not enough

about (insert your town/school).

At the end of each suggestion/complaint/

reprimand, I take a deep breath, smile and ex-

plain the situation:

Im sorry to hear you feel that way. With

the number of staff on hand, its difficult to

cover every event happening in the three

communities we cover, but you are more than

welcome to send in photos next time for pub-

lication consideration.

Or:

Im sorry to hear you feel that way. You

would be surprised at how many people from

(insert Cadott, Cornell or Lake Holcombe)

say the same thing about the lack of coverage

they believe they receive.

Having worked inCadott as the office

manager my first year or so here, I have a lit-

tle more insight into this line of thinking.

Nearly every week someone would come into

the office and say there was nothing about

Cadott in the newspaper, that it was all about

Cornell. Then, Id hear someone from Cornell

tell me how much was in about Cadott and

they missed when it was the Cornell Courier.Deep breaths.As a way to see if there was any merit to

these thoughts, and perhaps improve if there

was, we began a running tally of when people

stopped, or called, to tell us there was too lit-

tle, or too much, about one area over the

other.

This past year, Holcombe came out on top

as the town with the most information pub-

lished, according to our readers. Cornell

broke ground for several months, but ended

back at square one with equal tallies for most

and least information. Cadott initially came

out with a negative balance for the least in-

formation published, but some last minute

opinions also brought them back to square

one.

We knew the results were not a serious in-

dication of which area received the most pub-

lishing time, as we try to give equal press to

all, but more or less to see just how things

would pan out, according to our readers. The

study shows that Cadott, Cornell and Lake

Holcombe are pretty equal when it comes

down to it, and readers merely prefer to see

news from their area, rather than the sur-

munity goes far beyond that. To me, commu-

nity means good-hearted people, willing to

help when called upon.

Cadott, Cornell and Holcombe might not

have the largest populations in the world, or

the most money to spend, but when theres a

need to be met, they answer.

Thats a community.How many times have the schools col-

lected more than 1,000 items for a food

drive? How many times do donation tables

overflow at a benefit? How many extra dol-

lars are stuffed in collection jars at fundrais-

ers?

Thats a community.How many diapers are received for local

food pantries because the need was brought

to attention? How many overseas soldiers get

packages from those they dont even know?

How many gifts are placed under a giving

tree?

Thats a community.And it doesnt stop there. Whether its a

huge event or an everyday occurrence, acts

of kindness are everywhere as a matter of

course.

Like when youre treated to a birthday

meal or face painting at the fair. Like when

youre given tickets to the Brewers game or

when someone gives you fresh produce from

their garden. Like when your neighbors plow

you out or push you out of a snowbank, and

expect nothing in return.

Thats a community.Sometimes, its something as simple as

holding the door open or saying hello. Some-

times its a friendly wave or smile. Some-

times its letting someone go ahead of you at

the checkout.

Thats a community.Dont get me wrong, bigger cities certainly

have a lot to offer and can be really fun to ex-

plore. You can go to the movies, shopping

centers and have unlimited choices of restau-

rants.

But they do lack one thing, and thats a

sense of community. The bigger townships

are just that big. You probably wont know

everyone there and the pace of life is even

more hectic than in rural places.

Its nice to live in a town where you know

Mike, Jim and Harry will meet at the cafe for

breakfast. You know Sally, Mable and Julie

will be at the salon for their Thursday hair

appointment. You know its 1:30 p.m. when

Charlie drops by the bank or 3 p.m. when

Helen picks up her paper.

Thats a community.When bad things happen, they mourn with

you. When theres a triumph, they rejoice

with you; they accept you as one of their own

and join in on running jokes.

Thats a community.Community means more than just the place

you live, it means people who support each

other through thick and thin. It means you

can count on them and they have your back.

It means a place to come home to and know

you belong.

Thats a community.

an incident. Running water had nothing to do with either, said Buetow, who reminded residents to con-

tinue running their water. She said the village will notify residents, either by knocking on doors or hand

delivering notices, when to quit. When water was shut off for the second water main break repair, which

affected the elementary school, Joe Zydowsky, district administrator, said students would use the new

walkway to the high school for activities in the gym until the end of the school day. Students were ex-

The Cadott Area Historical Society

The Cadott Area Historical So-

ciety (CAHS) began as a thought

in the minds of 12 local citizens

in 1986. Their goal was to collect,

preserve and display Cadotts ar-

tifacts, and to research local his-

tory and traditions. Ned Willkom

was elected the first president;

Gordon Peterson, vice president;

Carmen Filtz, secretary; Edith

Couey, historian; Edna Siverling,

publicity chairman; and Ken Kenealy, treasurer.

By-laws were prepared in September 1986 as required for state affiliation; a

logo contest was held to choose an official representation for letterheads, dis-

plays and articles that represent the society. Meeting at first in the Citizens State

Bank basement, the society purchased its first home, a two room schoolhouse

from the Thorp School District.

The organization outgrew that

and has added several buildings

because Cadotts citizens have

been so generous in donating ar-

tifacts. Staffed entirely by volun-

teers, the CAHS is active in

Cadott Nabor Days and like

events.

The museum is located on the

east side of Highway 27, north of the Cadott Community Schools and across the

highway from Riverview Park. Visitors may stop and see displays during regular

hours: Mondays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., except holidays.

Cadott graduate makes good on promise

Jaimie Chapek, account services representative of Reali-

tyworks, Inc., Eau Claire, presented a $300 check to Cadott

Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) Vice President

Courtney Pederson and member Brooke Pederson. Chapek,

a 2008 Cadott graduate, graduated with a degree in world

politics from UW-Eau Claire before joining the Realityworks

team.

Realityworks has a charitable giving philosophy, said

Chapek. Employees are encouraged to nominate organiza-

tions that make an impact on individuals lives.

Chapek says she nominated Cadott FBLA because of its

importance in her personal life. She is a former FBLA mem-

ber and competitor, and held offices ranging from reporter to

president. In 2007, she and partner Eric LaRose competed in

the Business Ethics event, placing fifth at the state level.

During Chapeks interview for the Realityworks position,

she says she used her ethics skills to answer scenario ques-

tions.

I didnt take any business courses in college, but every-

thing I learned about a cover letter and a resum were from

my business courses in Cadott, and my involvement with

FBLA, Chapek said.

Comparing the donation value to the effort required to

make a profit from selling candy bars, Pederson says, Thats

a lot of candy bars.

Shari Gunderson, FBLA adviser, said she always tells her

students when they graduate that they are making a promise

to remember her when they are rich and famous.

Jaimie is the first person to do that, said Gunderson.

We are so thankful for the Realityworks donation.

Realityworks is an employee-owned company that brought

the RealCare Baby infant simulator to high school class-

rooms around the nation. In its new venture, Realityworks

has a new guideWELD VR and LIVEstandalone simulator

devices to teach welding. The company markets products for

high school career and technical programs, public health, the

military and social services.

enter state poster contest

The frozen road law expanded Dec. 24, to include num-

bered state and federal highways within the area designated

by the WisDOT as Zone 2, across much of north central Wis-

consin. The frozen road law is already in effect in Zone 1 in

far northern Wisconsin. The frozen road determination for

other portions of the state will be made once conditions war-

rant.

The frozen road law allows heavier loads for trucks carry-

ing peeled or unpeeled forest products cut crosswise (not in-

cluding woodchips), and salt and sand for winter

maintenance until approximately early March, unless thaw-

ing necessitates an earlier cancellation of the provision or

continued cold weather allows for an extension of the decla-

ration period.

Special permits for hauling increased weights will not be

required in Zones 1 and 2, however, vehicles must be legally

licensed at 80,000 pounds to handle the increased weights.

The higher weight limits do not apply to county or local roads

unless authorized by the local agency having maintenance

authority. Also, higher weights may not be transported on any

highways or bridges specifically posted for lower weight lim-

its.

State Highway 178, between Highways 64 and R, is officially open to traffic following several months of

construction. The project lasted from mid-May to mid-August and resurfaced the three and a half mile

stretch, cleared trees, put up a new retaining wall (shown) and reworked an intersection at County High-

way ZZ. New guard rails, a turning lane at County Highway R and rocks along embankments to the

Chippewa River were also installed. According to Jessica Bowker, civil engineer with the WisDOT, the

project was awarded at a $3.6 million contract. (Photo by Monique Westaby)

The Cornell Area Betterment Association (CABA) hasnt

been in existence for long, but in its short time, the organiza-

tion has sponsored community events and made its presence

known.

We wanted to organize the business community, said

member Dave DeJongh. We saw a gap that needed to be

filled.

The organization started when DeJongh, Andrea Smith and

Steve Turany put their heads together in the spring of 2013,

and formed Business Before Hours. Since then, the group

evolved and became the CABA.

Our goals are to have one person from every business as

a member and to promote new business, said Smith. Our

mission statement says it all; we want to increase community

awareness and involvement to promote tourism and vitality

in Cornell.

The CABA sponsors the Spooky Stacker Stomp, Daddy/

Daughter Dance, All-School Reunion, helps with the Kids

Community Christmas Party and provides welcome bags for

new families in the area.

We want to make the community stronger, not just busi-

nesses, Smith said.

Visit cornellwi.com to learn more about the CABA or be-

come a member.

Winter can be tough on heaters, and sometimes one heater

is just not enough to heat an entire house. Electric space

heaters can be very helpful; however, if they are not used and

monitored properly, they can be dangerous, says Jason Lee,

Mr. Electric public relations specialist.

Lee suggests considering the following in regard to space

heaters this winter season:

Before buying a space heater, be sure it has been safety

certified, with a safety certification mark on the box. Many

space heaters have a safety feature that automatically turns

the space heater off when it is tipped to a certain degree.

When using a space heater, inspect for damages, and

check the power cord for burn marks or frays. Turn switches

on and off to make sure they are in proper working order.

Place the heater on a level, stable surface at least three

feet away from any combustible items. Never run the heater

cords under carpets or rugs, and never leave an electric heater

unattended.

Before moving the heater, switch it off and allow time

for it to cool down. Keep children and animals away from

space heaters.

Electric space heaters a

good way to warm houses

The Cornell Chiefs Boys Basketball team took on the undefeated Gilmanton

Panthers Dec. 23, at home. Shawn Schoelzel, Cornell head coach, says Gilman-

ton is a very good basketball team.

They really beat us on their fast breaks, Schoelzel said. We didnt do a

good job getting back on defense.

Cornell fell to Gilmanton, 43-78, in the non-conference matchup.

Schoelzel says Noah Nohr (sophomore) had a really nice game, scoring 21

points and over 10 rebounds. Junior Cortland Spletter scored 12 points.

Height stings Hornets in Cloverbelt matchupBy Kayla Peche

Brandon Mittermeyer, Cadott boys head coach, said earlier

in the week McDonell would be a tough team to beat, and

unfortunately, he was right.

The Cadott Hornets Boys Basketball team traveled to Mc-

Donell Central Dec. 23, and were defeated, 73-48, in a West

Cloverbelt Conference game.

We went into a zone against them due to their height,

said Mittermeyer. It went well for a short period of time, but

it was tough to handle.

Mittermeyer says the Macks have four players who are

over 6 feet, 5 inches, which was difficult when Cadott doesnt

have that kind of height.

Only trailing by four points after the first quarter, Cadott

was even at the boards with the Macks until the fourth quar-

ter, when McDonell outscored Cadott, 28-15, for the win.

We did not allow them to run as well as they usually do,

said Mittermeyer, which was a great sign.

Senior Ben Kyes led the Hornets with 25 points, while sen-

ior Brett McChesney had 17, including two three-pointers.

Senior Ezra Michael, senior Kaeden Thom and junior Shawn

Sedlacek each added a basket to Cadotts total score.

The Hornets are off until after the New Year when they

host Lake Holcombe Jan. 6, in a non-conference game.

Chiefs triumph over Gilmanton PanthersBy Kayla Peche

The Cornell Chiefs Girls Basketball team scored a season-high 62 points in a

62-16 non-conference win over the Gilmanton Panthers Dec. 23, at home.

Using a big second quarter to take control of the court, Cornell outscored the

Panthers, 21-2, to take a 29-9 lead at halftime.

Senior Makenzie Ewings led the way for Cornell with 17 points, followed by

junior Elizabeth Sproul with 16. Cornell seniors Jane Hickethier and Samantha

Sippy added seven points each in the win.

Cornell had 10 players contribute to the victorious high-scoring game, and of

those, two seniors Kammey Kendall and Kaitlin Peterson made baskets for the

team.

The Chiefs played at the Glenwood City Classic against McDonell Dec. 29,

and Glenwood City the following day.

Cadott team strives to learn and develop

By Kayla Peche

At a Dec. 23 Cloverbelt conference game, the Cadott Hor-

nets Girls Basketball team put up a fight, but the Thorp Car-

dinals pulled away with the win, 52-33.

After coming from their first victory over Cornell, and then

a two-point loss against Augusta, Dave Hazuga, Cadott head

coach, said the girls will continue to learn and develop as a

team.

The girls are working hard and giving it everything, says

Hazuga.

Cadott was behind, 23-33, after three quarters, and failed

to catch up, getting outscored, 10-19, in the final quarter.

Senior Samantha Rineck led Cadott with 19 points, and

freshman Alexis Kramer added six.

Cadott is off until hosting Lake Holcombe Jan. 6.
