‘Tiny’ donation leaves over $21,000 to LH
By Monique Westaby
Thanks to a donation from the estate of the
late Donald “Tiny” Albrecht and his wife,
Sharon, agriculture students at Lake Hol-
combe can now look forward to at least one
trip each school year.
“Don and Sharon were always big sup-
porters of the ag department at Lake Hol-
combe,” said Brian Guthman, ag instructor.
“Along with the fruit sales, we always put to-
gether a cheese box through the store (Al-
brecht’s Cheese).”
Albrecht’s Cheese Store, run off Main
Street in Holcombe for about 20 years,
served many members of the community, not
only in their cheese needs, but ice cream and
convenience of a local business dealing in
agricultural products. Along with his busi-
ness, Tiny helped the FFA make-up cheese
box sales, and put together cheese tray sam-
ples for Guthman’s students.
“It was kind of a pain for him,” said Guth-
man with a laugh. “He had to cut a little
sliver of cheese off each one of the things he
had, but that was another thing we did a lot
of when he had the cheese house there.”
Guthman says when Tiny moved to the
nursing home in Ladysmith, he talked about
leaving money toward a scholarship for
someone interested in an agriculture career.
“Scholarships are great,” said Guthman,
“but they only take one student somewhere.
We want to get more students that see the op-
portunities of a career in agriculture and go
on from there.”
After talking with Guthman, Tiny decided
to leave money for the school to use at their
discretion.
“He said, ‘I trust you,’” said Guthman.
Lake Holcombe announced their prom court for the 2015 Junior Prom “A Night
at Gatsby’s.” The event is scheduled for 8-11 p.m., with Grand March to happen

When it comes to recy-
cling and managing
waste, it’s almost a no-
brainer to throw alu-
minum in a separate
container as the rest. Cans
are worth something, so there’s no reason to
toss them with the rest of the trash.
But what about when it comes to plastic,
paper and other reusable materials? Those
items don’t produce change in your pocket,
but they do help change the environment for
future generations.
Earth911.com says out of 750 households
surveyed by Newton Marketing Research,
81.1 percent said their household recycleswaste products or reusable products, includ-
ing glass, paper, plastic and aluminum.
Such a high number may initially shock,
and please you, but it’s the other 20 percent
we should be concerned about. And not only
recycling, but other ways our actions, or
non-actions, affect our environment.
In a release from the WisDNR, a study bythe U.S Environmental Protection Agencyfound that 15 households burning trash eachday emits the same amount of cancer-caus-ing dioxin and furan emissions as a 200-ton-per-day municipal waste incinerator thatuses high-efficiency emissions control tech-nology.
In a broad spectrum, those 20 percent who
aren’t recycling, are nearly cancelling out
everyone else who is making the effort.
It’s easy to toss everything in a pile and
light a match, but burning plastics or treated
or painted wood can release carcinogens
such as arsenic, benzene and formaldehyde,
says Brad Wolbert, with the WisDNR.
Getting rid of trash, especially large items,
can be a pain. Many times garbage centers
don’t want them, or there’s a charge to dis-
University, anything to increase reusing
products can save a lot more than just money
in the long run.
Recycling helps the health of our nation
and world, and reduces the amount of “earth
space” taken up by landfills. Many “futuris-
tic” movies showcase piles of trash stacked
higher than buildings, and without recycling,
those days might not be so far away.
Not everything can be reused, nor will it
be. Many schools utilize recycle bins to
teach students the importance of sorting
their trash, but like anything, often fall on
blind eyes as the pop bottle is tossed with the
banana peels and crumpled scratch paper.
This week (April 20-24) mark’s Earth
Week across the nation. But we don’t live on
earth for only a week, so take the opportu-
nity to think about what you do with your
4.3 pounds of waste (or 1,569.5 pounds a
year), and keep in mind the value of a clean
future.
By Ginna Young
During spring elections,
local townships and cities
let their voices be heard
for who they wanted in
charge of local govern-
ment. Some people
stepped down after years
of service to the community, while others put
their name in the mix for the first time.
At the close of polls, citizens elected those
they thought could best do the job and serve
our area with good intentions. While time
will tell what their choices bring, voters still
face another issue that has yet to be resolved.
Pop-Tart or Toaster Strudel?Some prefer the sturdier solid Pop-Tart,
while others lean toward the flaky gooey-
ness of a Toaster Strudel.
pose of the items. Burning seems much more
cost friendly, but the cost to you and your
family is much more expensive.
The United States Environmental Protec-
tion Agency says recent research shows
burning garbage is “far more harmful…than
previously thought.”
It can increase the risk of heart disease,aggravate respiratory ailments such asasthma and emphysema, and cause rashes,nausea or headaches. Backyard burningalso produces harmful quantities of dioxins.
Dioxins, some of the most toxic known
chemicals that also cause cancer, are then re-
leased into the air, and can settle on crops
and other plants, which are then consumed
by animals and livestock. The fatty tissue on
these animals retains the dioxins, eventually
to be ingested by humans.
So even if you make the effort to toss the
plastic milk jug into the recycle bin, but your
neighbor opts for the burn barrel, you’re still
breathing that air and consuming those diox-
ins.
Because of this, Wisconsin implemented
the Waste Reduction and Recycling Law in
1990, and since then, has increased the num-
ber of municipalities (and people) that recy-
cle. Many cities and townships now offer
free recycling to their residents, but in turn
must pay for that service.
In Cornell, the city receives grant dollars
($10,232.08 last year) to help offset the costs
of offering recycling. Dave DeJongh, city
administrator, says the grants went into af-
fect when the recycling law was passed, and
their contract for offering recycling to Cor-
nell residents is about $1,000 a month.
Although it costs taxpayers to run the pro-
gram, the law makes recycling for everyone
easier, creates jobs and limits the amount of
waste put into landfills. With an average of
4.3 pounds of waste generated per person
per day, according to a report from Duke
Value your future and make a change with 4.3 pounds
After elections, one issue still remains unresolvedNo matter an individual’s preference, the
debate has caused heated rivalries (some in
the Courier Sentinel office). But, with a com-
parison of history and facts, weighed against
pros and cons, and of course, price, the public
can make the right decision, and put an end
to the mud-slinging once and for all.
Kellogg’s first came out with the unfrosted,
pre-cooked Pop-Tart pastry in 1964, with
strawberry, blueberry, brown sugar cinnamon
and apple currant as the only varieties. The
company soon developed frosted squares,
which hit the market in 1967. There are now
more than 25 flavors available, including
chocolate fudge, cookies and creme, rasp-
berry, s’mores and wildberry. In addition,
limited editions such as gingerbread, pump-
kin pie and choc-o-lantern can be found
throughout the seasons.
Owned by General Mills and marketed by
Pillsbury, Toaster Strudels arrived on the
scene in 1985. Since their conception, flavors
have come and gone, but about 15 varieties
continue to be stocked on shelves, with the
ever popular wildberry, raspberry and straw-
berry cream cheese leading the way.
It seems Pop-Tarts have a longer history,
and clearly offer customers more choices
than Toaster Strudels, but that alone cannot
determine the right choice.
Let’s take a look at the nutritional values.
A frosted Pop-Tart contains 170 milligrams
of sodium, while a frosted Toaster Strudel
has 190. On the other hand, Toaster Strudels
only contain 9 grams of sugar, while Pop-
Tarts comes in with 17.
It appears sodium and sugar amounts may
balance each other, but calories are another
matter. Pop-Tarts come in with 45 calories
from fat, Toaster Strudels weigh in with 60.
Even? Not so much.
On to the matter of storage and preparation.
Frosted Pop-Tarts come in foil bags that
open with ease, do not have to be refriger-
ated, and can be eaten warmed, or right out
of the package. They make good traveling
food and are ideal for a quick, no fuss snack
that doesn’t need to be heated.
Toaster Strudels are stored in one long
plastic bag, with individual icing packets,
which require a knife or scissors to open. The
icing then needs to be applied, after the
strudel has been warmed in a toaster, mi-
crowave or bake oven. The remainder of
strudel and icing in the plastic bag then re-
quire refrigeration or freezing at all times.
Now for price and quantity.
A 14.7 ounce box of Pop-Tarts can be pur-
chased at Walmart for $2.18. An 11.5 ounce
box of Toaster Strudels can be found at the
same store for $2. You clearly receive more
volume of Pop-Tarts for almost the same
amount of money as Toaster Strudels.
Then, of course, there’s taste.
While Toaster Strudels have a lovely,
brown, flaky crust, with a moist, chewy fill-
ing – and don’t forget the icing – it’s often a
sure bet that not all of the pastry heats evenly.
Some parts of it remain ice cold, but the other
end may have burnt outer crust. And, keeping
in mind strudel/icing is perishable, it some-
times is very difficult to find a toaster on a
road trip, or even at work. One square of
strudel is not very large, and let’s face it, the
packet of icing, although delicious, barely
covers the surface of the pastry.
Pop-Tarts however, can be tucked in a
purse or tote bag, warmed nicely if you
choose to heat it, and needs no utensils or
plate. Two nice-sized, fruity (already) frosted
squares come in each packet, and can be re-
wrapped with little hassle.
It would seem, after carefully considering
all the angles, the obvious choice is Pop-
Tart.
In the end, there may still be some who will
refuse to see the (toaster) light...cough...
Kayla...cough...but perhaps the facts will
sway those who were on the fence before to
give their vote to a Pop-Tart.
No matter which way the public casts their
vote on the breakfast turned anytime food,
please remember that our nation’s stomachs
are in the balance, and it’s a citizen’s duty to
make the correct choice for future genera-
tions.

Dear Editor: we are all patiently waiting for the arrival of
spring.
I would like to take this opportune time to inform the read-
ers of this wonderful publication, that the Eastern European
cultural Society (EECS) is working with the Lublin Wiscon-
sin (Parks and Pavilion) committee, on the Lublin Centen-
nial celebration taking place this summer during the annual
Lublin Days festivities scheduled July 24 - 26 of this year.
I also urge people to set a little time aside and volunteer
to help make this milestone event, the best Lublin Days ever!
The planning for this event, began in earnest when winter
arrived early this past November. Through the months of De-
cember and January a commemorative calendar in English
and some Polish was produced, depicting Lublin from years
gone by, which are currently available for purchase.
The (EECS) is acting as the diplomatic arm this year and
invitations have been sent to Lithuania, Poland and the
Ukraine. Inviting both dignitaries and citizen Ambassadors
to visit Wisconsin and partake in our celebration.
We already have some confirmations and Lublin Poland’s
TV2 is sending a television camera crew to document this
milestone event in our little Village. Lublin Poland, pop.
360.000 has been our big (Sister City) since 2001 and Lvov
Ukraine pop. 710,000 has been Lublin Poland's partner city
since 2004 and ours as well.
We have history heritage and cultural connections with
people from all three countries mentioned. On the home
front, State and local officials are invited, as are our friends
and neighbors of our surrounding communities.
I would also like to inform the public, that we are still
looking for people with roots in the Lublin area to share their
family histories, recollections and anecdotes of those who
founded, and those who lived and worked in the Lublin
area.
The compilation of these submissions will be included in
the Lublin centennial booklet that is still being worked on.
Anyone with pictures and more information, is asked to
please contact Betty Lorenz at 715-6695162.

Drivers cautioned to make merging a safe endeavor
From the WisDOT
It helps when drivers move over a lane for merging traffic
on the freeway or multiple-lane highways, but are drivers on
the main freeway required by law to change lanes and pro-
vide a clear path for merging vehicles?
“As a matter of courtesy and safety, we encourage drivers
on multiple lane highways to change lanes if possible, or ad-
just their speed so that merging vehicles can get into the traf-
fic flow quickly,” says State Patrol Captain Jeffrey J.
Frenette. “However, drivers merging from a ramp onto a
highway should be aware that vehicles on the main freeway
are not legally required to move over for merging vehicles.”
The State Patrol also offers the following advice for merg-
ing onto highways smoothly:
• Enter the freeway from the ramp at, or near, the speed of
freeway traffic.
• Use turn signals.
• Do not stop while merging unless absolutely necessary.
• Don’t try to squeeze into a gap in traffic that won’t pro-
vide room to react.
• If you have to cross several lanes of traffic, cross them
one at a time.
“Merging onto a highway can be stressful when traffic is
heavy and moving rapidly,” says Frenette. “Drivers trying to
merge should pay strict attention to the traffic flow and be
prepared to adjust their speed.”
April named as Distracted
Driving Awareness Month
From the WisDOT
To remind people of the dangers of texting while driving and
other multi-tasking activities behind the wheel, Congress has
designated April as National Distracted Driving Awareness
Month.
Five seconds is the average time eyes are off the road while
texting and driving. When traveling at 55 mph, five seconds
is comparable to driving the length of a football field, accord-
ing to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
“The dangers of distracted driving, also known as inattentive
driving, are not exaggerated,” says David Pabst, director of the
WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety. “Last year in Wis-
consin, there were more than 22,000 crashes, when at least one
driver was listed as driving inattentively. Those crashes killed
71 people, and injured nearly 10,000.”
Although many actions are distractions while driving, public
and legislative attention has focused on talking and texting on
cell phones. Wisconsin law prohibits texting while driving, and
drivers with an instruction permit or probationary license, are
also prohibited from using a cell phone while driving.
“Despite laws to prevent distracted driving, too many people
still regularly talk or text on cell phones while behind the
wheel,” Pabst says. “They search for things on the seats, floors
or compartments, they eat a meal, they use the rear view mirror
to comb their hair or apply make-up.
“Their attention is focused everywhere except where it
should be, which is on the road. Because they’re not paying
attention, distracted drivers risk causing a crash or failing to
avoid one.”
April 18-25 recognized as
Infant Immunization Week
From the Chippewa County Department
of Public Health
As part of National Infant Immunization Week April 18-
25, the importance of protecting infants from vaccine-pre-
ventable diseases is highlighted, and celebrates the
achievements of immunization programs and their partners
in promoting healthy communities.
The Chippewa County Department of Public Health holds
immunization clinics monthly in Chippewa Falls, and every
other month in Bloomer and Stanley. Immunizations are
available at clinics for children who are underinsured, have
no insurance, are American Indian or Alaska Native, or Med-
icaid-eligible.
Immunizations help protect babies and young children
against 14 serious diseases, including Tetanus, Pertussis, and
Rotavirus. It is recommended that all other children follow
up with their primary care provider to ensure immunizations
are kept up to date.
Visit cdc.gov/vaccines for more information on immuniza-
tions.

– Obituaries –Roy Robert Yohnk
Roy Robert Yohnk, 90, Cor-
nell, journeyed into eternal
life, and moved on to greener
pastures Saturday, April 18, at
the Cornell Area Care Center.
Roy was born and lived his
entire life on the Yohnk family
farm between Cadott and Cor-
nell, which has been in the
family since it was settled in
1863.
Roy was born March 2,
1925, in the family farmhouse,
and was the only surviving son of Lucius and Anna
(Schultz).
He grew up on the farm, and attended Eleanor School with
his beloved sisters, Irene and Ruby, and countless Yohnk
cousins who lived on neighboring farms.
Roy was a faithful member of St. John’s Lutheran Church
in Cornell his entire life, and served on the church council
for many years.
Roy married Alice Melville in 1945, and they enjoyed 66
years of married life together until Alice’s passing in 2011.
He spent his final days looking forward to being reunited
with her in heaven.
Roy was a dedicated and hardworking farmer who truly
enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. He loved the land and
worked tirelessly to make a good life for his family. He en-
joyed spending time with family and friends, telling stories
about the good old days, playing cards, bowling with bud-
dies, deer hunting, and dancing to a good polka with Alice.
He loved tractors, and following his lifelong wishes, he
will be taken to his final resting place on a wagon pulled by
a family tractor.
Roy is survived by his children, David (Sue), Cornell,
Diane (Dewey) Lee, Cornell, and Dean, Rice Lake; grand-
sons, Brian (Michelle) Yohnk, Bloomer, Louie (Renee)
Yohnk, Jim Falls, Scott (Shayla) Pahl, Cornell, Todd Pahl,
Cornell, and Michael (Lori) Pahl, Hewitt; and great-grand-
children, Courtney, Nathan, Garret and Cole Yohnk, and Mar-
cus, Mackenzie, Christopher, Matthew and Katie Pahl; sister,
Ruby (Hurlburt), Denver, Colo. (children, Rick, Paul and
Terry); and the children of his sister, Irene (Johnson), includ-
ing Dennis, Deone and LuAnn (Coggins), who looked to him
as a father figure.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Alice; par-
ents, Lew and Anna; sister, Irene; and brother, Clyde (infant);
in-laws, Leonard and Beatrice (Eaton) Melville; son-in-law,
Henry Pahl; brothers-in-law, Delbert Johnson and Dale Hurl-
burt; and by nieces and nephews, David and Sue Hurlburt,
and LaRayne (Johnson) Brann.
Funeral services were held Tuesday, April 21, at 11 a.m.,
at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Cornell, with the Rev.
Patrick Feldhus officiating.
Visitation was held at the church one hour prior to services,
beginning at 10 a.m. Interment immediately follwed the fu-
neral at the Cornell Cemetery, followed by a luncheon at the
church.

Senior Master Sgt. Phillip W. Gygi
Senior Master Sgt. Phillip W. Gygi passed away April 11,
2015.
Phillip was born in Holcombe, Aug. 12, 1933, to his late
parents, Phillip and Thurley Gygi.
Phillip served 23 years in the United States Air Force, which
brought him and family to Eglin AFB, where he retired after
moving to the Town of Niceville, Fla., which he called home.
Phillip enjoyed family gatherings around the pool, fishing,
playing golf and piddling in his shop.
He will be truly missed by all his family and friends. “Seeyou later, alligator.”
He is survived by his wife of 12 years, Joann Geisler; sis-
ters, Luella Flater, and her family in Ladysmith, and Sandy
Schoonover, and family, in Wisconsin Rapids; sons, Randall
C. Gygi, and family, Crestview, Fla., and Phillip D. Gygi, De-
Funiak Springs, Fla.; eight grandchildren; and 21 great-grand-
children.
He was preceded in death by his late wife of 32 years, Au-
drey I. Gygi; daughter, Cheryl Ann Gygi-Vann; and son,
Michael W. Gygi.
Services will be held graveside at Sunset Cemetery April,

den Ave., Niceville, Fla.

Charles “Charlie” J. Sikora
Charles “Charlie” J. Sikora,
93, Town of Arthur, passed
away Wednesday, April 8,
2015, at Ministry Our Lady of
Victory Hospital in Stanley,
after a brief illness.
He was born Feb. 14, 1922,
to Joseph and Anna (Soukup)
Sikora on the family farm in
the Town of Arthur, where he
lived his entire life.
Charlie was a lifelong dairy
farmer, and extremely proud of
his herd of milking shorthorn cattle, which he milked until
the end of his days. Milking shorthorn cattle are one of the
oldest recognized dairy breeds in the world, with only 12
herds on record in Wisconsin.
Passersby would often comment as to the aesthetic beauty
of Charlie’s red, white and roan cattle grazing on the grassy
fields in front of the farmstead known as “Ceska Farmu Na
Kosumberku” (Czech Farm on Kosumberk, castle in Bo-
hemia).
Doing the math, the distance Charlie walked between the
barn and the milk house during his lifetime was over 70,000
miles. In comparison, he walked carrying pails of milk around
the earth almost three times. He always said his cows were
good to him.
Charlie enjoyed hunting and fishing, especially ice fishing
on Pike Lake during the winter months. He embraced his Bo-
hemian heritage and thoroughly enjoyed a good plate of pork,
sauerkraut and dumplings, along with a kolachy or two.
Charlie will always be remembered as a little man with a
big heart.
He is survived by brother, Louie (Anna) Sikora, Cornell;
and sisters, Victoria Gindt, Cadott, Sylvia Kvapil, Bloomer,
Edna Sikora, Cadott, and Josephine Stephens, Waupaca; 17
nieces and nephews; numerous great- and great-great nieces
and nephews; and a few cousins in the Czech Republic.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers-in-law,
Damis Morgal, Albert Kvapil, Ralph Stephens and Lawrence
Gindt.
Thank you to the staff at Ministry Our Lady of Victory Hos-
pital for making him comfortable in his final days.
A celebration of Charlie’s life will be held at 11 a.m., Sat-
urday, April 25, at the Bohemian Hall, with the Rev. George
Olinske officiating. Visitation will be one hour prior to serv-
ices. Interment will be at the Bohemian National Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials to the Bohemian Hall Schol-
arship fund are appreciated.
Leiser Funeral Home in Cadott is assisting the family with
arrangements.
Melvin “Mel” P. Mattson
Melvin “Mel” P. Mattson,
82, beloved husband, father
and grandfather, passed away
unexpectedly, Monday, April
13, 2015.
He was born on a farm in
Cadott, in 1932, moved to
Minnesota for college, and
was a Korean War veteran.
Mel was united in marriage
to Lorraine (Lund) Mattson in
1955, at Grace Lutheran
Church in Eau Claire. They
were long-time members of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in
north St. Paul, Minn.
He was a retired GE nuclear engineer, and traveled the
world. His passions were collecting antiques, making maple
syrup at his farm in Cadott, and his family.
He is survived by his wife, Lorraine; children, Debra (Bob)
Bosak, Barbara (Claude) Forshier and Jonathan Mattson
(Lisa) of Nashville, Tenn.; grandchildren, Jennifer Hill (Ryan
Herbenson), Jaclyn Thesing (Sam), Brian Bosak and Emma
Mattson; sister, Dr. Carol Mattson Porth, and her children,
Rick Porth, Susan (Tom) James and Sandy Porth; and other
friends and relatives.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Elof and Caroline
Mattson.
Services were held Sunday, April 19, at 3 p.m., at Sandberg
Funeral Home in St. Paul, Minn., with visitation one hour be-
fore the service. Private interment was in Lakeview Ceme-
tery.

Kathryn Hanson says her Cadott third-grade class has been working hard on fractions, and learning about
extreme environments. Students spent time creating a diorama of an extreme environment of their choice,
and Hanson said they “turned out awesome.” The third-graders are now discovering life structures in
science, and seeing how living things grow and change. The kids say they love third grade, but are look-
ing forward to summer. Left to right, in front, are Bridget Verdegan, Andrew Glenn, Emma Stumo, Alex

Cadott first-graders are shown how to line dance at Texas Roadhouse Thurs-
day, April 16, after visiting the Eau Claire Children’s Theater to see GoodnightMoon. After the play, the students had lunch and a tour at Texas Roadhouse,
where they also made their own biscuits before stopping at Carson Park. Fund-
ing for the trip was provided by the PACE organization, and first-grade teacher
Penny Lien says they are thankful for the “educational and memorable” op-
portunity. (Submitted Photo)
Ten students from the Cadott Jr. High School Choir participated in the Shell

20 miles per day, for a total of 1,330
miles. All of the gear, including a
week’s worth of food, will be on his
board, and needed food and supplies
will be shipped to him at post offices
around the lake during the trip.
“I am planning on paddling all day,
with the exception of weather,” he
said. “On good days, I’ll paddle all
day to make ground, then there will be
days that are too windy and wavy to
even go on the water.”
The majority of the 10-week trip will be a solo effort, ex-
cept the Pukaskwa Peninsula of northeastern Lake Superior.
This area is more remote with over 150 miles of shoreline
that Jared says will expose him to wind and waves.
“When the wind is howling and there is a 10-foot swell
coming through, there isn’t any place to hide,” Jared said.
“So I may spend a few days stuck on land as I go around the
lake.”
With this experience, Jared says he will have to step out of
his comfort zone. “This isn’t so much a step though, as it is
a flying leap out of an airplane.”
Jared says nothing about the trip will be easy, but that’s
why he is doing it, and encourages others to take risks and
be ambitious.
“I want to show people what the possibilities really are,”
he said. “I feel like a lot of people just see boundaries where
I see great opportunities, and I want to change that.”
He says he wants to share his adventure with others, and
anyone can follow his progress via Facebook at
facebook.com/more.asuperioradventure.
“Some people feel the need to surf in minus 30 degree
windchills, while others like to just go for a nice hike in the
woods,” Jared said. “People like myself are super stoked to
share our passion for the outdoors with others.”

Creating adventure from his own backyard
By Kayla Peche
At 22 years old, Jared Munch planned to make his college
experience at the University of Minnesota–Duluth a “self re-
warding” adventure; and he is doing just that.
After graduating from Lake Holcombe High School in
2011, Jared pursued a civil engineering degree from Duluth.
During his first semester at school, he took a whitewater
kayaking class to explore what Lake Superior and the Min-
nesota outdoors had to offer.
“Things really exploded from there,” Jared said.
Three years later, Jared is a certified Level 4 American
Canoe Association tandem, a solo whitewater canoe instruc-
tor and a certified Level 2 Standing up Paddleboard (SUP)
instructor. He is also an active surfer on Lake Superior, and
completed his first snow kiting race this winter – a 15 mile
crossing of Lake Mille Lacs on skis behind the power of a
10-meter kite.
“The list goes on about all the unordinary things I have
done in college,” Jared says. “I am happy to say that I really
have done all that I could with my college experience thus
far.”
Jared will graduate from his program this fall, but before
he does, he planned an adventure to begin this summer. He
says he wants to “go out with a bang.”
“I was looking at a study abroad option in Patagonia de-
signed specifically for whitewater kayakers,” said Jared. “But
I soon realized that it would be foolish to fly halfway across
the world to go have an adventure, when I have one of the
most epic adventures basically right in my backyard.”
This summer, Jared plans to be the first person to standing
paddleboard across Lake Superior.
For the last three summers he trained for this experience
by not only hitting the weight room, but also gaining knowl-
edge of lake effect. Jared says knowing about fog, heavy
wind, huge waves, shoreline with cliffs and where to land are
needed to complete this trip.
He says his love of outdoors began during his childhood.
Living 20 miles away from friends made it a long bike ride,
so Jared said he had to make his own form of entertainment.
“When we were young, my brother (Waylon) and I would
always build the biggest snow forts or rake the biggest pile
of leaves to jump in,” he said. “As we got older, we got a
little more daring.”
Jared and Waylon would build mountain bike trails, ski off
roofs and do a lot of stunts, but Jared said it was all fun for
them. Whether it is skiing, snowboarding, biking, longboard-
ing, surfing, SUP, paddling whitewater or being pulled across
a frozen lake behind a giant kite, Jared says the outdoors are
an endless blank canvas for him.
“I really enjoy using the outdoors not only to see amazing
things,” Jared said, “but as a never ending playground to push
myself in.”
Jared will leave Duluth after finals week (May 15) and
work his way to the Canadian boarder. From there, he will

a bang.” (Photo by Jim Gallop)

“I’m not just going to blow it away, or go on 10 trips one year
and not have money for another year. It’s like a nest egg that
we’re going to use as we need.”
Fund-raising is still planned, and the $21,309.59 donation
will be used to supplement trips such as READY camp, the
National FFA Convention and other ag related excursions.
“Now, every year, we will be able to go on an agriculture
trip,” said Guthman. “So kids from Holcombe can get to
other places in the world…the United States, where they can
see that agriculture is an important thing…
“Ag is bigger than growing corn in a field in Holcombe.”
Guthman says where once it was a concern if they could
fund-raise enough money to take students to a convention,
now there’s security that a van-load of kids will have enough
funding.
“It gives you a little bit of leeway…” said Guthman. “So
now we can take six to all these places we go and we won’t
have to worry about, ‘Well, we can’t afford to take them be-
cause the money is tight.’”
Because the Albrechts were promoters of agriculture,
Guthman says he thinks that’s what they want to instill in fu-
ture generations.
“It was very, very nice of Tiny and Sharon to do this,” says
Guthman. “I hope the family can see, I know that Tiny did,
that he’s giving something to future generations that will go
on and maybe be that cheesemaker, and make that prized
cheese that he sold at his place.”
John and Tammy Morgal, of Cadott, attended the
annual meeting of their milk marketing cooperative,

ple participated in the AMPI Young Cooperator pro-
gram, a cooperative education and leadership
development program for member-owners.

SportsKnights baseball runs short but still believes
By Kayla Peche
Both games for the Cornell-Lake Holcombe Knights
Baseball team were decided by only a few innings. Falling
behind early in the games, the Knights did make a come
back, which John Lee, Knights baseball head coach, said
will give them confidence.
“I was really proud of the players for not giving up and
coming back the way they did,” Lee said after the Augusta
game. “ This will really help them to believe that they can
do it.”
April 16 vs. Northwood (L 5-4, conference)
Cornell-Lake Holcombe fell behind by four runs in the
fifth inning against Northwood April 16, but the Knights
came back, scoring four in the sixth to tie the game.
The Evergreens fought back with one run in the bottom
of the seventh to capture the win, 5-4.
Sophomore Jeremiah Reedy went the distance on the
mound, giving up five runs with only two earned on hits.
“Overall, the team played well behind Reedy’s well-
pitched outing,” Lee said.
Leading hitters were sophomore Micah Raatz, who went
two for three with one RBI, and senior John Stender Jr., who
went one for three with two RBIs.
Lee says the team needs to work on their batting skills for
the next games.
“We did have six K’s that we have to have less of,” he
said. “We must put the ball in play.”
April 17 vs. Augusta (L 13-10, non-conference)
The Knights had their first home game of the season April
17, against the Augusta Beavers.
Tanner Clark, sophomore, started on the mound, and was
relieved by senior Preston Strzok in the third. Lee said this
combination gave the Beavers 13 runs.
Sophomore Noah Nohr came in the bottom of the fourth,
and pitched a “perfect baseball,” facing 12 batters to finish
the game, allowing no more runs.
“They (the Knights) played perfect baseball those last four
Competing until a win or darkness comes
By Kayla Peche
It was all Cloverbelt Conference games for the
Cadott Hornets Baseball team this week, and head
coach Peter Devine says the team is struggling
with a pitching injury, and should be winning
these close games.
“The team was not mentally focused enough,”
said Devine after a game against Stanley-Boyd.
April 14 vs. Altoona (L 18-7, conference)
At the top of the third, the Hornets were only
down by one run, but the Altoona Railroaders had
other plans during the April 14 Cadott home game.
“Things were going well at first,” said Devine.
“Our pitchers were throwing fewer and fewer
strikes, and Altoona really started hitting the ball
well.”
Devine said the Railroaders hit the ball in spots
that the Hornets couldn’t get to fast enough, which
led to Cadott’s loss, 18-7, at their first home game.
The top of the order had the most production,
said Devine, with senior Ezra Michael and junior
Austin Goettl having three hits for Cadott. Senior
Brett McChesney had two, and McChesney and
Michael also gave Cadott two RBIs each for their
seven runs.
Senior Austin Najbrt handled the mound for
most of the game with one strikeout, and allowed
three Altoona players on base per inning.
“The bottom of our order need to start hitting
and getting on base,” Devine said.
April 16 vs. Fall Creek (L 8-7, conference)
The April 16 game against Fall Creek couldn’t
be decided in seven innings, and the boys went 10
innings before choosing a winner.
Devine says the game was tied at seven for the
last four innings with Michael on the mound. The
Crickets got a runner on base, followed with a
base hit to bring them home, winning the game,
8-7.
“If we would have gotten that last out, the game
would’ve been called due to darkness,” said
Devine.
Devine says the Hornets did well offensively by
scoring runs, and kept the game close with “solid
pitching and defense.”
Michael had three hits with one RBI, followed
with McChesney and junior Casey Schara with
two. Schara also had two RBIs for the Hornets,
and junior Jake Holum had one.
While on the mound, Michael had four strike-
outs, and only allowed one base runner per inning.
The highlight of the evening Devine said was
when Najbrt made a diving catch in center field.
“At the time, it probably saved the game for us,”
Devine said. “It may have been the best catch I’ve
personally seen a high school player make.”
April 17 vs. Stanley-Boyd (L 11-7, conference)
After a long, 10-inning game, the Hornets were
drained, said Devine, as they played another
Cloverbelt Conference game April 17 against the
Stanley-Boyd Orioles.
“They got a big lead in the second inning,” said
Devine of Stanley-Boyd. “We could not catch up.”
McChesney, Goettl and senior Quinn Sikora all
had two hits for the Hornets to score runs.
Freshman Michael Emery scored two runs with
his RBIs, while McChesney and Goettl had an
RBI each.
Najbrt was on the mound for five innings, with
10 strikeouts, and allowed three players on base
per inning, but Devine says his pitching was not
up to par.
“Our ace (Najbrt) from last year is struggling
with a wrist injury from a previous sport,” Devine
said. “We need to pitch better and we should have
scored more than seven runs offensively.”
Devine says Cadott was not “mentally focused”
this game, and should have won the 11-7 game
against Stanley-Boyd.
Cadott plays at home April 24, against Thorp
for their next game.
Cadott senior Austin Najbrt throws a strike during
the April 14 game against Altoona. Najbrt struck out
one player during the loss against the Railroaders,

nings. (Photo by Kayla Peche)
A group of tundra swans lazily floats along the Chippewa River in Cornell, March 31.
It’s unknown if the aquatic birds were merely passing through on their migratory path,
or plan to inhabit the area throughout the summer. For the second year in a row, another
flock of swans has also been seen just east of Cornell in a flooded field. After the male
and female pair up, nesting begins the end of May. The female lays a clutch of 2-7 eggs,
which are then incubated, and hatch after 30 or more days. (Photo by Ginna Young)

innings,” said Lee. “The
whole team contributed to
the comeback.”
Cornell-Lake Holcombe
went from being down by
eight runs to losing the game
by only three runs, 13-10.
Leading hitters for the
Knights were Raatz, who
was two for three, scoring
twice. Strzok also scored
twice with two RBIs, while
senior Luke Seyler and
sophomore Matt Kostka
went two for four, each scor-
ing twice.
The game set for April 20,
against Cadott, was resched-
uled for May 4, at 4:30 p.m.
The Knights next two games
are at home April 23, against

Win and loss for Hornets
By Kayla Peche
The Cadott Hornets Softball team took on two Cloverbelt
competitors this week. After a shutout game against Mc-
Donell, the Hornets came back to defeat the Orioles, putting
Cadott 1-1 in the conference.
April 16 vs. McDonell Central (L 6-0, conference)
Cadott struggled to get any runs during the April 16 game
against McDonell Central, and the Mack lead pitcher struck
out six of the Hornets on McDonell’s way to the conference
victory, 6-0.
Senior Racheal Semanko and freshman Alexis Kramer
went one for three at bat for the Hornets. Kramer also pitched
four innings, striking out two.
The Hornets softball head coach Kari Moldrem said minor
errors were a factor in the loss. The Hornets had four errors
in the field, but the low number of hits on base defeated
Cadott.
April 17 vs. Stanley-Boyd (W 9-6, conference)
Things were much different during the game against Stan-
ley-Boyd April 17, as the Hornets had 11 hits to put runners
on base to score.
Cadott had an early run in the first innings, plus four in the
fourth, and took the lead, 7-3.
Senior Marisa Sperber led for the Hornets with three runs
and one RBI, followed by Kramer, who added two runs and
one RBI.
Semanko, junior Ashley Kramer, sophomore Bobbi
Burgess and freshman Kaylee Butterfield each added one run
to Cadott’s 9-6 victory over the Orioles.
Pitching for the Hornets were sophomore Brittany Erick-
son, who had six strikeouts in five innings, and Kramer, who
had two.
The game set for April 21, against Birchwood, was
rescheduled to May 4. Cadott’s next game will be at home
April 24, vs. Thorp.
Trying to find their ‘groove’
By Kayla Peche
The Cornell-Lake Holcombe Knights Softball team had a rough two games
this week, with another player injured and an upsetting loss.
“We are still pretty early in the season,” said Katelyn Omtvedt, Knights
player. “I just don’t think we are completely in sync with each other yet, but I
am confident that we will find that groove.”
April 16 vs. Northwood (L 5-4, conference)
The Knights traveled to Minong April 16, to play the Northwood Evergreens.
The game was close, but injured Knights player Allison Spegal said the team
had a lot of “mental errors.”
“We just didn’t work the best as a team,” she said.
By the seventh inning, the Knights came back with two RBIs from junior
Michelle Ewer. Leading hitter for Cornell-Lake Holcombe was Cheyan Shack-
leton, who went two for three.
Although the Knights brought the game close, the Evergreens took the
win, 5-4.
April 17 vs. Augusta (L 16-0, non-conference)
The game was in Cornell for the Knights first home game, but it did not go
as planned, ending early after three innings.
“We definitely didn’t play our best game,” said Omtvedt.
Omtvedt suffered a knee injury during the game, but she said she hopes to
be playing again by the end of the week (April 24).
With two players (Spegal and senior McKenzie Ewings) already injured,
Cornell-Lake Holcombe is dependent on the younger classmen to step up.
“We will start to show our talent as a team very soon,” Omtvedt said.
Junior Kareese Jiskra had one hit for the Knights, but no runs were scored,
and Cornell-Lake Holcombe lost, 16-0.
The game set for Monday, April 20, against Birchwood was rescheduled to
Monday, May 4. The next two home games for Cornell-Lake Holcombe soft-
ball are Thursday, April 23, against Flambeau, and Monday, April 27, vs. Clear
Lake.

Early Bird takes flight with warmer weather
By Kayla Peche
Pat Rothbauer, Cadott track head coach, said it was the first
time in four years mother nature allowed the Cadott Hornets
Track team to attend the Early Bird meet April 14, at Eleva-
Strum.
“It was great to get out and have an outdoor meet,” said
Rothbauer. “Our girls did quite well, finishing third overall,
and our boys finished fifth.”
For the boys team, senior Ben Kyes took first place in the
110-meter hurdles and the triple jump, followed by his class-
mate, Joe Carrell, who took seventh in the triple jump.
Junior Brandon Pederson took sixth place in the 400-meter
dash, while senior Garrett Janicki took sixth in the shot put.
The boys relays placed in the top five with the 4x400-
meter in third, and 4x200 and 4x400 in fifth.
The girls also had some high finishers with junior Eliza-
beth Kyes placing first in the 200-meter dash and the triple
jump.
Rothbauer said junior Alexis Munroe did a “great job”
placing second in her first time competing in the high jump
with 4-4. Munroe was followed by her classmate, Charlene
Holte, who took fifth in the high jump and the 110 hurdles.
Holte also placed sixth in the 300-meter hurdles.
Other top 10 finishers for the girls team were junior Lakin
Rykal, who took fifth in the pole vault, and freshman Cailin
Rineck, who took seventh in the discus.
The 4x100 girls relay placed second, while the 4x400 and
4x800 each took fourth.
“Hopefully, the weather will cooperate for this week’s
meet in Chippewa,” said Rothbauer. “We will be competing
against some bigger schools again so I look forward to seeing
how well we compete.”
The Hornets went to Chippewa April 21, and will be back
again Tuesday, April 28.
The Cadott Hornets Archery team took their seventh state title at the April 10 NASP State Tournament in
Rothschild. The team set a state record with 3,766 points; their goal is to reach 3,400 points at the National
Tournament Friday, May 8. The players on the archery team, left to right, in front, are Caitlin Larson, Joey
Hinzmann, Andrew Derks, Jacob Peak, Brant Bowe, Jaret Semanko, Kaeden Thom and archery head
coach Scott Christenson. In the second row, are volunteer archery coach Jason Thom, Quinn Sikora,
archery coach Eric Weiland. In the third row, are Nate Briggs, Brandon Peak, Bennett Bowe, Hayden
Thompson, Bailee Bremness, Brooke Bremness, Charlene Holte and Kaylee Butterfield. In back, are Maia
Schroeder, Morgan Spaeth, Kaitlyn Eyerly, Ahnika Hartzell, Henry Wojtczak, Brad Kenealy, Ty Weiss and

With fire danger elevated in Wisconsin, the WisDNR says
it’s even more important that people consider recycling and
composting instead of burning waste and yard debris, which
officials caution may cause wildfires and add pollutants to
the air.
“Wildfire season is here and it’s not a good time to be burn-
ing outdoors,” says Catherine Koele, DNR wildfire preven-
tion specialist. “Just yesterday (April 13), we had a 200 acre
wildfire and evacuated 44 homes (Juneau County). Luckily,
no one lost their home and no one was injured, but it was a
good reminder to consider alternatives to burning, especially
right now with the current fire threat.”
Though it is legal to burn some yard waste in certain areas,
the department cautions that debris burning is the number
one cause of wildfires in Wisconsin, causing about 30 percent
of the state’s wildfires each year.
“Open burning of any material produces a variety of air
pollutants,” said Brad Wolbert, DNR recycling and solid
waste section chief. “Burning plastics or treated or painted
wood can release carcinogens such as arsenic, benzene and
formaldehyde into the air…Burning anything can affect your
health, your neighbors health and the environment.”
Burning household trash in Wisconsin is illegal.
A study by the U.S Environmental Protection Agency
found that 15 households burning trash each day emits the
same amount of cancer-causing dioxin and furan emissions
as a 200-ton-per-day municipal waste incinerator that uses
high-efficiency emissions control technology.
It is also illegal to burn recyclable materials such as glass,
plastic, metal containers and clean paper, as well as agricul-
tural and horticultural plastics such as silage film, haylage
bags, bale wrap, woven tarps, and nursery pots and trays. If
these materials cannot be recycled, the DNR says they should
go to a landfill.
“Every community in Wisconsin has a recycling program
for plastic, glass and metal containers, and paper,” Wolbert
said. “For yard debris, composting is a good option.”
If burning is the only option for yard waste, burning per-
mits may be required to burn yard debris piles, or for broad-
cast burning any time the ground is not completely
snow-covered.
Permits can be obtained online (dnr.wi.gov), or by calling
1-888-WIS-BURN from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Local ranger
stations or emergency fire wardens can also provide permits.
Once an individual has a burning permit, he or she must call
or go online after 11 a.m. on the day of the planned burn to
check daily fire restrictions.
“Currently, much of the state is under high to very high
fire danger,” says Koele. “Several counties have suspended
DNR burning permits because of low humidity and windy
conditions. It’s just not a good idea to be burning anything
right now.”

Second place is ‘good start’By Kayla Peche
Despite the colder weather, the Cadott Hornets Golf team
traveled to Hickory Hills Golf Course in Eau Claire for their
first match of the season April 20.
“We were happy with our performances,” said Dick Kyes,
Hornets golf head coach. “Especially considering the difficult
weather conditions.”
As a team, Cadott took second place with a combined score
of 163, 12 behind the leader, McDonell, and 13 ahead of
third-place finisher Regis.
“Second place was a good start,” Kyes said. “We are hop-
ing to improve so that we can catch McDonell.”
Individually, sophomore Payton Fregon led for Cadott with
a score of 37, followed by his classmate, Henry Wojtczak,
with 40. Senior Kaeden Thom and junior Matt Irish each had
43, while sophomore Kaylee Rudnick followed with 54.
Cadott will travel to Osseo-Fairchild April 23, for their
next golf match, followed by a weekend competition April
25, in Lake Wissota.

Is burning waste worth a wildfire?
With the beginning of the first spring turkey period,
hunters have found birds moving and vocal. Turkeys appear
to have wintered well and are in good physical condition,
with toms averaging around 20 pounds.
Chorus frogs, spring peepers and other frogs are heard in
southern wetlands. Hepatica, bloodroot and other early spring
woodland flowers are beginning to make their appearances
in the south.
A later spring has kept insect levels light throughout the
state.
Statewide Birding Report
The first warblers are here, mostly yellow-rumped, but also
a few pine warblers. Large numbers of dabblers and divers
are reported at various locations statewide, though the bulk
of swan and goose migration has passed.
Area lakes and wetlands are also great places to seek
newly-arrived sora and Virginia rails, Wilson snipe, Ameri-
can bitterns and great egrets. Shorebirds in general are some
of the last migrants, but a few species have pushed into the
state, such as pectoral sandpiper, greater and lesser yel-
lowlegs, and an early black-necked stilt.
The first upland sandpipers have also arrived from winter-
ing grounds in southern South America, and with the opening
of northern lakes, common loons have begun to return as
well.
A few snowy owls are still seen across the state, though
many appear to finally be on the move across the northern
tier.
Rarities spotted include Eurasian wigeons in Bayfield and
Columbia Counties, cinnamon teal in Jefferson, Eurasian tree
sparrow in Bayfield, and prairie warbler in Milwaukee.
A fourth state record band-tailed pigeon finally departed
after a 15-day stint in Grant County.

Residents reminded not to
dump trash on county land
The Chippewa County Department of Land Conservation
and Forest Management, and local DNR wardens, have been
working to discourage illegal dumping of trash throughout
the county forest.
As a result, a citation was recently issued to an individual
for leaving trash at the Harold Walters Memorial Forest. The
property is located two miles north of Cornell on County
Highway CC, on the west side of the Chippewa River.
“Our departments encourage everyone to use the county
forest as a place to recreate and enjoy the outdoors,” said
Matt Hansen, assistant county forest administrator. “Reduc-
ing this dumping will allow staff to focus limited resources
on more positive and productive projects to provide increased
public benefit. Please help us ensure the forest is a clean and
safe place for everyone to enjoy.”

Residents in the Town of Birch Creek, Cleveland and
Sampson may notice some road work this summer on a few
of their roadways. The action comes as a result of Gov. Scott
Walker approving more than $5,000 in aid for Chippewa
County forest road maintenance.
Work will be done throughout the summer by the
Chippewa County Highway Department on Deer Fly Trail,
Birch Creek Trail, Hickory Ridge Trail and O’Neil Creek
Trail within the county forest.
“This is an annual grant that is funded through gas tax,”
said Mike Dahlby, county forest administrator. “The cost of
annual maintenance of these roads exceeds the grant money,
the balance is paid for with timber sale revenue. Our mainte-
nance needs are especially high when there is a high occur-
rence of trucks ‘mudding’ off the road surface in the ditches,
or when there is a lot of dumping, or vandalism to road
signs.”
To qualify for state funding, roads must meet standards of
a 16-foot surface width, a 20-foot roadway width, and be lo-
cated within county forests, and open to travel.
Dahlby says the roads are subject to sustainable forestry
standards, such as erosion and wetland deposition, and are
typically graded at least twice each year.
“In recent years, we have received public feedback that
these roads are in great shape, well-utilized and much appre-
ciated by the public,” said Dahlby. “Not only do these support
our resident recreation activities, they are hugely important
to the county’s tourism and forest products industry.”
County forest roads get aid

Dam safety reminders
Xcel Energy urges recreational and fishing enthusiasts to
be safe around dams and hydroelectric facilities.
With the early inland trout fishing season under way, and
the fishing opener just a few weeks away, the company is
stressing the importance of safety near dams and on water-
ways to help prevent accidents.
“Boating or canoeing above or below a dam can be very
dangerous, especially if the flow changes and your boat is
anchored in a hazardous area,” says Rob Olson, hydro oper-
ations at Xcel Energy. “If there’s a sudden water discharge
from the spillway gates, you risk capsizing.”
Xcel Energy says many of the accidents and fatalities that
occur near dams could be prevented by using common sense,
practicing safety, staying clear of dams and understanding
the dangers to be found near them.
The Midwest Hydro Users Group, an association of dam
owners who “promote safe, efficient, economical and envi-
ronmentally friendly use of hydroelectric power,” offers these
tips for personal safety near dams:
• Obey all warning signs, barriers and flashing lights, horns
and sirens.
• Wear a personal flotation device/life jacket.
• Always stay outside buoy lines and away from restricted
areas near dams.
• Never swim or wade near a dam.
• Never boat or fish alone when near a dam.
• Leave your boat motor running to provide maneuvering
power.
• Stay clear of spillways. Changing currents and “boiling”
waves can make boat control difficult near dams.
• Never anchor boats below a dam because water levels
can change rapidly.
• Bring a cell phone and contact 911 in an emergency.
• Set an example for children who may not be aware of the
dangers, even if they can read. State explicitly where they
can and cannot go, and make sure you are close to them and
can see them at all times.

Picture Time
As I’ve said in the past, I
love taking photos. Since
this was the first year I’d ever gone coyote hunting, I
filled my card with snapshots of everything I could. Here
are just a few of my favorites from the season.
It’s a Girl ’s Hunting LifeBy: Mon i qu e Wes taby

through the snow during her first
year coyote hunting; Grace takes
one last look at dad before head-
ing off with Cordellia; the moon

Terry walks snow-covered Louie

Quaker Boy makes. It is a Little One-Sider.
The jake liked what he heard and in about two minutes,
was cozying up to his hopeful lover. Selina had 5 minutes
where she could have harvested that jake, but passed with
the hopes she would have a chance at a mature tom.
Selina and I put 13 hours in the blind today, and loved
every minute of it. At the end of the day, we had a great
meal with Rod and Wendy.
Sunday, April 12 • High 67, Low 31
A bit of a side note, I met Rod in the fall of 2011, when
my golden retriever, Ice, had just passed away and Fire, my
current four-year-old retriever, literally went into a severe
depression as a 9 month old pup, two months before her
first hunting season.
Training for the hunting season was not a priority for Fire,
and it was Rod to the rescue. Rod trains hunting dogs in the
summer and, by working with pigeons, pheasant and
chukar, helped pull Fire out of a deep, dark funk.
Today, as a bonus for this weekend, Rod let five chukar
go for his seven-month-old Drahthaar, Gretta, to flush, and
Selina to attempt to shoot. Selina only hit one of the five
chukar and was kind of embarrassed.
Later, Rod let five more chukar go and we had Fire find
and flush them. Fire was really good and Selina smoked
four of the five chukar.
This morning, Selina and I are in the blind at 5:15 a.m.
and though there are birds gobbling in the woods, we did
not see a turkey.
At 10:20 a.m. I told Selina we had 10 minutes left to hunt,
as we had to take down our blind and meet Rod.
At 10:28 a.m. two beautiful toms appeared out of the
woods with their eyes fixed on the decoys. We watched both
toms in easy shooing range, but too close to each other as
they approached the decoys.
The toms put their attention onto the jake and literally
knocked him off his pedestal.
I told Selina when they got 3 feet apart, drop one. The
biggest tom had the unfortunate luck of getting 3 feet from
his comrade, who was doing terrible things to my decoy,
and Selina put a load of lead into him. I looked at my cell
phone and it said 10:29 a.m.
We put 18 hours in the blind and had a blast!

Last Minute TurkeyHello friends,
Wisconsin’s Youth Turkey Hunt is an excellent way to
get kids outdoors and hunting in a very simple and positive
way. Each year my 14-year-old daughter, Selina, and I
choose a different place to hunt, and we always make a
weekend of it. Although Selina has put her tag on three gob-
blers in the last three years, she has never harvested a turkey
during the Youth Turkey Hunt.
This year, we killed two birds with one stone.
Selina and I headed to Dodge County where we hunted
and visited with my good friend, Rod Bensley, and his wife,
Wendy, on their 200-acre pheasant hunting preserve (Roost-
ers Run). We had a real go-for-it weekend of turkey hunt-
ing.
Saturday, April 11 • High 62, Low 30
Up at 4 a.m., almost a 1 mile walk to a blind we set up
last night, and I think for the first time Selina’s stride is
faster than mine. Long before daylight we are sitting in our
blind that once night
becomes day, we will
over look a harvested
soybean field where
we have placed a hen
and a jake decoy.
Last night, Rod,
Selina and I put out
the blind, saw a large
flock of turkeys, and
a whole bunch of
deer. We also met
with a neighbor, who
gave Selina permis-
sion to hunt his land.
There are several
turkeys gobbling in
trees maybe 150
yards away as the sun
starts brightening up
the eastern horizon.
By 6 a.m., it is obvi-
ous by their gobbling they have flown down and, for now,
are working away from our blind.
When Selina and I hunt turkey, our blind literally be-
comes a bedroom, kitchen and library. Selina has two books
and a blanket (for nap time), and I have a propane stove for
hot cocoa, chilli and brats.
We sit in opposite directions of each other so that hope-
fully, if our quarry appears, we see it as soon as possible.
At 6 a.m. this morning, I saw our first, and what would
be our last, turkey of the day, about 400 yards away on a
hill top. It appeared to be a male, so I gave it a hello with
my dad’s (the late Robert Walters) favorite box call, which

Keep wildlife wild: observe from afarWisconsin’s Keep Wildlife Wild campaign urges people to
enjoy the ongoing wild animal birthing season from afar, as
most young, including those seen alone, are likely under the
care of a mother out of sight.
Dianne Robinson, DNR wildlife biologist, says people
should resist the temptation to interact with a young animal
perceived as on its own, because human interaction may do
more harm than good.
Cheryl Diehl, licensed wildlife rehabilitator, says people
should never assume an animal is orphaned.
“Some species leave their young unattended to gather food
or to protect them from predators,” Diehl said, suggesting ob-
servers watch the animal through binoculars. “If the animal
is genuinely orphaned or injured, don't touch it, but contact a
licensed wildlife rehabilitator.”
In the case of deer, fawns are protected from predators by
their coloration and their lack of body odor. The mother deer
only comes to feed her fawn every few hours, and the feeding
is accomplished quickly.
“Baby rabbits are left alone in their nest, concealed by grass
or vegetation,” Robinson says. “The mother returns to feed
her young and leaves to keep predators at bay.
“Young raccoons are often seen playing in trees or yards
without their mother, but she is nearby.
“Fledgling songbirds leave nests without parental supervi-
sion and before they are capable of flight.”
To Keep Wildlife Wild, the campaign suggests controlling
family pets when outdoors; staying alert for wildlife on roads;
placing covers on window wells so small animals do not get
trapped; sealing off spaces under decks or buildings, and
spaces in attics, garages or buildings so wild animals cannot
make nests; and making potential food items inaccessible to
wild animals.
The campaign also reminds people to be careful if trapping
and relocating adult wild animals during warmer months, as
wild animal adults and babies may be unknowingly separated.

Keeping the canine flu
outbreak in perspective
By Barry N. Kellogg, VMD
Senior Veterinary Adviser - Humane Society of the U.S.
News outlets in the U.S. have reported Canine Influenza
outbreaks in more than 30 states in the last year. The recent
outbreaks in Chicago and Wisconsin are current examples.
Therefore, the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Asso-
ciation cautions dog owners to be on the lookout for signs of
the highly contagious disease, which can cause an acute res-
piratory infection which, in some instances, can lead to sec-
ondary pneumonia and death.
Although the number of dogs infected with this disease
becoming seriously ill is very small (less than 8 percent), the
Humane Society of the United States still encourages pet
owners to be aware.
What are the signs?
Mild cases may be just a runny nose or persistent, gagging,
cough, and only rarely does it become severe, which is likely
the result of the development of a secondary pneumonia. In
that case, symptoms are severe lethargy, high fever, anorexia,
and a deep, raspy cough.
How is it spread?
The virus is in the respiratory secretions of an infected dog,
so close contact with a coughing or sneezing animal can pass
the infection to a susceptible animal. In addition, contact with
objects that an infected dog has played with can also lead to
infection.
The virus cannot be passed to humans or any other species,
but handling or patting an infected dog or his toys, followed
by contact with your dog, can lead to infection of your dog.
How is it treated?
Not all dogs with the infection need to be treated. In fact,
up to 20 percent may show no signs at all. All of the diseases
in the Canine Respiratory Infectious Disease complex are
treated the same way, using fluids and possibly cough sup-
pressants while the virus runs its course. Antibiotics should
be used only if there is an indication or concern about sec-
ondary bacterial involvement.
Is there a vaccine for Canine Flu?
There is a killed virus vaccine which will work in about
80 percent of those receiving it. The vaccine does not always
prevent the disease, but it will likely reduce the severity.
However, it is unknown whether it protects against all
strains.
Vaccinations should be decided with the dog’s vet, and are
given two weeks apart; then there is at least seven days be-
fore it reaches full effect. Contact with other animals should
be avoided until then for maximum benefit.
Any respiratory signs or issues should be reported to the
dog’s veterinarian, and owners and pets should avoid dog
parks or areas where dogs congregate.
During the Bohemian Hall Youth Group Young En-
gaged Lodge Leaders Sock Hop, youth took part in
a hula hoop contest, musical chairs and limbo com-
petition, along with games on the sidelines. The
grand finale of the night was a balloon drop from
the balcony, and anyone who got a specially
marked balloon received a prize.

Cadott fourth-grade students from Lew Gunderson’s class demonstrated how
to answer a math problem (given at Math Olympiad) at the April 13 regular
Cadott School Board meeting. Math Olympiad is a math problem solving con-
test for fourth- through eighth-graders to teach major strategies for problem
solving. Gunderson said he has seen tremendous growth in his students and
encourages the program. (Photo by Kayla Peche)

Brittany Gosse (right), Cadott special education
teacher, was recommended by Matthew McDo-
nough (left), Cadott Jr./Sr. High principal, for an
Early Career Educator Award. The Wisconsin Asso-
ciation for Colleges in Teacher Education selected
Gosse for this award, giving $500 for her to use at
her discretion. McDonough said “she is one of the
finest young educators” he’s seen.

on at the meeting, but three of those he wanted to share in-
formation and his opinion on.
The Success Factor proposal came to the WIAA last year
as a “surprise move petition.” After being tabled last year, the
updated proposal is being brought forth again. This proposal
states if a school has success in a number of sports, then that
school earns points toward moving up a division. If the
school continues to get better, it will continue moving up, but
if it plateaus or falls, then the school will be brought down to
their enrollment division.
“I would recommend that we vote for it,” said Sekel. “We
should trust the system of the WIAA, the Ad Hoc committee,
and the people that put some hard work on this.”
The second proposal is the Reducer, which was also a pe-
tition that began this year. Sekel advised to vote against this
proposal because it came so quickly. This proposal takes free
and reduced lunch numbers and applies them to enrollment
to figure out the division of the school.
“I just don’t think there’s enough data on this one to make
an informed, good decision,” Sekel said.
The final proposal discussed was the Coach Contact Rule.
Sekel says this rule would allow coaches more opportunities
to coach the youth during the summertime.
As the proposal states, this change would open unlimitednon-school coaching contact to all sports except football forthe period between the last day of school to the first day ofschool.
“We continue to be a rural community that struggles to find
coaches and retain coaches that are qualified and have some
of the beliefs and qualities that we want in coaches,” Sekel
Helminski as assistant varsity baseball coach) from the dis-
trict.
Wheeler retired as the elementary executive secretary, and
thanked the district. Thank you for the opportunity to workfor such an outstanding school district for the last 21 years.As I retire, I already believe we are the best school district ofour size.
Peloquin retired from his job as mechanic for the district,
and says he enjoyed working for the school and enjoyed the
kids greatly.
Christenson said he is resigning as Jr. high football coach,
pending a suitable replacement, because it puts time restraints
on his professional growth as an educator and his personal
life.
At a previous meeting, Feb. 9, the board also approved res-
ignations from summer recreational director Calvin Geissler
and first-grade teacher Wendy Sedivy.
After over 10 years, Geissler resigned from his position,
saying he enjoyed working with surrounding communities,
and believes Cadott is building a “respectable program.” He
said he wants to give someone else the chance to grow the
program. Jerry Rykal was hired as his replacement, and has
worked with the summer program before, but his contract
needed renewal.
Sedivy said she is resigning from her teaching position be-
cause she is getting married and relocating to Tomahawk.
“I have grown as an individual and learned much from all
the great people that believe our students come first in the
district,” Sedivy said. “I will take the lessons that I have
learned as I progress further in my teaching career.”
