During their regular meeting Feb. 19, the Cornell City
Council heard an update on the emergency government plan
in conjunction with the Cornell Police and Fire Departments,
and Rescue Squad.
The city is in the process of updating the current emergency
plan, set in 2011, in the case of a natural disaster or other event
that requires those services to work in coordination.
We need names, phone numbers a lot of people dont
have land lines anymore, said Mayor Judy Talbot. Thats
all going to be put together, and then possibly well do some
type of simulation to make sure we all have our ducks in a
row.
Talbot said the agencies radio frequencies need to be on
the same page, and should be ironed out ahead of time, as well
as lining up people to step in and take charge.
If for some reason Im not around or Daves (DeJongh)
not around, its going to fall on council people to take on some
of those roles, said Talbot. You dont know, anything can
happen.
Were here, said Steve Turany, council member. Thats
what were here for.
When the emergency plan is fully updated, Talbot plans to
involve council members with familiarization of the plan, so
no one goes into a potential situation without knowledge of
procedure.
Work in progress, but a good work in progress, said Talbot.

There is only one topic when people gather together: what
are you doing to stay warm? I just dont pay any attention,
and go about what is needed to be done that day. Some are
hibernating in their homes, but most are just too busy with
their lives to do that.
The Lake Holcombe Lions had another successful fishing
contest last weekend, and the Boy Scouts will hold a fishing
contest Saturday at Big Swedes pond. There is no need to
worry about how thick the ice is this year.
The Holcombe United Methodist Church will hold their
annual faith link suppers during lent season Wednesday, at 6
p.m., for the public. Come and share your knowledge of the
Bible and ask questions.
Our Pine Point community was saddened last Wednesday
when Dorothy Stoker went to be with the Lord after a short
illness. She was 92, and a better neighbor would be hard to
find. Our sympathy to her grandson, Eric, and other relatives.
The Holcombe Helping Hands Club met at the Birch Creek
Town Hall Thursday, with 11 members present. They tied two
quilts, and cut out teddy bears to sew in the future.
Janice Craig held a successful health seminar Saturday, at
Northwoods Church in Cornell. Much information was given

Student Spotlight
Name: Jordan Shackleton
School/grade: Cornell eighth
grader
Parents: Jeremy and Sheila
Shackleton
Activities: Involved in middle school girls basketball,
middle school volleyball, FFA
and FFA Quiz Bowl, and
archery
Teacher: Leigh Dobberstein
Teacher Quote: As an eighth
grader at the Cornell Jr./Sr. High School, Jordan has made
some very positive choices at school. She is a student who
works very hard for the grades she earns. If she doesnt understand a concept, she is asking questions for clarification in
order to understand. Her work ethic is definitely a lead by example type that will hopefully inspire other students to follow
her leadership. She is a very friendly and outgoing student,
that other students can relate to and accept her. This past January, she was interested in doing the FFA Quiz Bowl contest,
and she talked four other students into competing with her in
the February competition. The group made it to the sectional
competition, which will be held in March. The spark that was
started in her, has spread to some of the other students. She
has made the choice to get involved in an organization that
will provide her with a lifetime of memories and skills for the
future. As she continues to get further involved in activities,
she will definitely reap the rewards of what she does. Keep
up the good work and make the best choices possible.
Future plans: To be a biochemist, or potentially a science or
history teacher.

Louis Eslinger, Cadott police chief, met with the police committee Feb. 4, to discuss projects such as liaison training, a
Community Safety Net program and vest carriers, to make
Cadott a safer place.
The safety of our kids is involved here, said Gerald Rykal,
Cadott board member, at the Feb. 16 regular board meeting.
Eslinger says Damon Smith, Cadott district administrator,

pleton.
Rykal says the training would take place in June and not interfere with any festivals around the area.
Anson Albarado, board president, said it will be on the
agenda for approval at the March 2 meeting.
The police department also continues to work with Community Safety Net, said Rykal.
According to the safety net website, the program is a revolutionary safety awareness and education initiative that creates a network of concerned individuals who want to protect
children and help save lives.
This program has no cost to the department or the village,
but provides books and videos on topics such as bullying, drug
abuse and safety.
Rykal says it is another way to keep children safe, because
the police department can use these tools from Community
Safety Net, and bring them to the school to educate the students
and faculty.
Eslinger also mentioned the department would like to get
vest carriers. He says police departments throughout the area
are changing to vest carriers rather than waist holsters because
of the strain on the officers hips, and mobility of the officer.
Rykal said the committee was in favor of this decision, and
that there are two local chiropractors who offered to donate
toward the cost of the vests.
How much exactly, we dont know that yet, Rykal said.
But it wont be a complete cost to the village. That is very
nice of them.

After a WIAA Sectional Wrestling meet, two Cadott
wrestlers will advance to the state competition at UW-Madison Feb. 26-28.
Congratulations to Andrew Gunderson and Austin Najbrt
for qualifying for the state tournament, said Cadott head
wrestling coach Josh Spaeth. Both wrestlers wrestled tough
and placed second to advance.
Gunderson, a freshman, wrestles in the 113 pound class,
and scored 12 points at Saturdays Division 3 Sectional meet
in Osseo-Fairchild. He won three of his four matches, falling
by decision to Cumberlands Lucas Graf with a 5-2 decision
in the quarterfinal.
Najbrt, who is on his third consecutive trip to state, will
have one last chance to get the gold medal in Madison. The
126 pound senior also won three of his four matches in
Osseo-Fairchild, and scored 17 points. His only fall went to

After a tight loss against Webster, the Lake Holcombe
Chieftains Girls Basketball team took their second victory
over Birchwood.
In a previous game at Lake Holcombe, the Chieftains
claimed their first victory of the season, 43-28, over the Bobcats.
Feb. 19 vs. Webster (54-41 L, non-conference)
It was a close game all the way through against Webster
Feb. 19, and the Chieftains were down by only two points
going into the second quarter.
It was a really good game, Lake Holcombe head coach
Jay Geist said. We played hard and we played well.
It was the second quarter when Lake Holcombe fell behind,
and the Tigers outscored them by 10 points. Lake Holcombe
tried to catch up in the final frame with 3-pointers from sophomore Hannah Lee and junior Jordan Geist, but the Chieftains fell to Webster, 54-41.
Lee had a high-scoring game with 19 points for Lake Holcombe, followed by Geist with eight.
Feb. 20 vs. Birchwood (23-16 W, conference)
It is has been a tough season for the Chieftains, but Geist
says his girls never give up.
They always work hard, he said. It feels good to get another win.
This time around the Chieftains traveled to Birchwood Feb.
20, closing the regular season with an East Lakeland Conference victory over the Bobcats. It may have been a low scoring game, 23-16, but Geist says a win is a win.
I am proud of the girls, he said. They are still working
hard this year.
The Chieftains played at Flambeau Feb. 24, to open round
one of the Division 5 playoffs.

Chieftains conference
race comes to a halt
By Kayla Peche
As the regular season comes to a close the Cornell Chiefs
Boys Basketball team took on three East Lakeland Conference competitors in a row, and each of the games were close.
These games came down to the wire and free throws at
the end, Cornell head coach Shawn Schoelzel said.
Feb. 17 vs. Flambeau (50-39 L, conference)
For the first game of the week, Cornell traveled to Flambeau Feb. 17. The Falcons came out with a strong lead in the
first quarter, but the Chiefs responded with a 14-point second
quarter, taking the lead, 24-19, at halftime.
We played very good defensively, said Schoelzel.
Coming out of the locker rooms, Flambeau came back with
a dominating second half, and Schoelzel said the Chiefs
struggled offensively.
We couldnt get anything going against their zone,
Schoelzel said. We had a lot of rebounds, we just couldnt
finish.
Flambeau hit 12 free throws in the final minutes to take the
win from Cornell, 50-39.
Feb. 20 vs. Bruce (74-63 L, conference)
Back in Chiefs territory Feb. 20, Cornell took on the Bruce
Red Raiders. Schoelzel says this was the Chiefs best game
offensively, but it wasnt enough.
We just couldnt generate any defensive stops, said
Schoelzel.
With a minute and 30 seconds to go, Cornell was only
down by four points, but final-second baskets put the win in
Bruces hands, 74-63.
We just couldnt get our shots to fall at the end, said
Schoelzel. And they (Bruce) made their free throws.
Junior Cortland Spletter tallied a game-high 21 points for
the Chiefs. Sophomores Colton Hetke and Noah Nohr each
scored 14 points and sophomore Levi Boehm added nine for
Cornell.

third place.
Feb. 19 vs. Webster (59-48 L, non-conference)
At Lake Holcombe, the Chieftains fell behind by 10 in the
first quarter of the Feb. 19 game, as the Webster Tigers scored
23 points on them.
Lake Holcombe came back to outscore the Tigers by four
points before halftime, but Websters lead was too much to
climb, and the Chieftains fell to Webster, 59-48.
Junior Nick Seng scored a team-high 18 points for Lake
Holcombe while his classmate, William Hattamer, added 11
points.
Feb. 20 vs. Birchwood (64-50 L, conference)
During a Feb. 20 conference battle in Birchwood, the
Chieftains took the lead early in the game, but lost momentum in the second half.
The Bobcats outscored Lake Holcombe, 43-26, in the final
two quarters, helping Birchwood take down the Chieftains,
64-50.
Hattamer scored 11 points, Seng scored 10 points and
freshman Trent Novak added nine for Lake Holcombe.
After this game, Lake Holcombe was in third place (8-3)
for the conference, with Feb. 24 scheduled for the final regular season game against defending first-place holder New
Auburn.
Lake Holcombe will host Thorp March 3, to begin the first

Contest

The Holcombe United Methodist Church served
brats, hot dogs and hot chocolate, to name a few
items, at the Lake Holcombe Lions ice fishing contest. The Lions said the weather was better for this
years tournament, and half-way through about 4050 fish had already been caught, as opposed to last
years total of eight. The fish in the pond were restocked in a joint effort with the Lions and the DNR
after a hard winter-kill last year.
People and pets were welcome at the Lake Holcombe Lions ice fishing contest Feb. 21, and the
club gave $100 for the largest fish caught in six categories, as well as $3,000 toward schools for the
student contest. The Lake Holcombe basketball
team also helped, and Lion Carrie Ably said they
were fabulous.

Brian Johnson, of the Lake Holcombe Lions, reads
a blue ticket winner at the clubs annual ice fishing
contest on Big Swedes Pond. Hams, syrup and
shirts were just some of the prizes donated by local
businesses. Aside from the raffle and adult fishing
contest, a kids contest was also held, where students could win $250, $500 or $750 for their school.

In addition, summer reading and LEGO programs were
held for pre-school and elementary age children, sponsored
by the Girl Scouts.
Wed love to have a set time/date for a reading program
throughout the year, but it just doesnt work out, said
Shepard. I understand how busy people are,
and many libraries are going to drop-in programs, where if you come in and want to read,
you can.
Shepard also encourages people to look
through the librarys historical records. The material cannot be loaned out, but patrons may
browse through it at one of the tables.
Were always happy to have people come in
and check us out, said Shepard. We want suggestions for new material and authors, and if its
out there, we can usually find what youre looking for through the Interlibrary System.
Shepard says patrons are also welcome to bring
their laptops, and that its quite normal for the library to be full of people taking a moment to relax
and read.
Its not a quiet library, said Shepard. People say its like walking into a house, where you
can talk in a normal voice without being reprimanded. I remember one time a lady was sitting
on the floor going through books; she said it was
just like home.
Books arent the only things of interest at the Cornell Public Library, such as this old-fashioned
wheelchair that Sharon Shepard, library director,
liberated from the buildings basement. The building, constructed circa 1928, also houses old pictures and a wooden spinning wheel, to name a few.
Shepard says the library is in good shape for its
age, and is full of history. (Photo by Ginna Young)

Local man sheds hope on those in need
Page
By Ginna Young
For those who got that big buck last fall, or have found
antler sheds this year, their first instinct may be to mount the
trophy on the living room wall, but there is another option:
donating to Shedding Hope in Ladysmith. The non-profit organization takes deer antlers and turns them into items that
can be sold at benefits for cancer patients.
Shedding Hope was started after its creator, Ralph Barten,
had a lower back fusion in 2001, and awoke from surgery
completely blind. Although the surgery itself was a success,
a small leakage of blood went undiscovered for several days,
and drained the optic nerve dry.
I was in the hospital sitting there feeling sorry for myself,
when some kids with cancer came on the TV, said Barten.
These kids had 3-stage cancer, but they were happy and having fun. I thought, if they can face death every day and be
happy, I can face being blind.
Barten says he knew he wanted to help in some way, and
started talking at schools, but wanted to do more. Eventually,
as a lover of hunting and the outdoors, Barten decided to
make things from deer antlers. His first creation was a zipper
pull made from a chunk of antler with a length of chain.
I tell kids theyre like a lucky rabbit foot, Barten said.
They were created by God and Mother Nature, and when
you wear them, you have the two most powerful forces on
your side.
Barten now gives away hundreds of zipper pulls each year
to organizations and benefits, but his creativity doesnt stop
there.
With the help of his wife, Jo, he makes necklaces, lamp
bases, towel and hat racks, and mug holders out of antlers,
and walking sticks made from diamond willow.
Most of the bigger items Barten donates to benefits to raise
money for those in need, and some he keeps and sells himself
to help offset expenses. It costs between $3,000-$6,000 each
year to make/send items to charity organizations.
There isnt a state we havent sent zipper pulls to, including the Wounded Warriors Project, said Barten. Im rich
I get hugs from kids, moms, grandmas it makes my day to
make them smile for awhile.
Shedding Hope is always on the lookout for donations of
antlers in good condition, diamond willow branches, barn
boards or monetary donations. For more information or to
donate, contact Ralph at 715-532-9857.
I hope you never have to call me, Barten said. But if
you ever have a friend or relative whos sick, Ill give you
one of everything I make.

in Ladysmith. Members were involved in several areas, including the Rusk County Livestock project. Members included Jordan Geist, Kelley Andres, Andrew Fijalkiewicz, Sara
Stender, Kyle Girard, Kayla Vavra, Alexis Dixon, Tyler Andres and Hannah Lee.
The third weekend in August the chapter was involved for the ninth year with Fishing
Has No Boundaries on Lake Holcombe. Members helped with registration, coordination
and all of the logistics.
They helped prepare boats, load participants on to and off of boats, and worked with
others to coordinate materials for a safe and enjoyable experience for over 50 participants. Over 30 members helped with this years event, and they say they look forward to
making next year even better.
In September, the FFA elected new officers: Kelley Andres, president; Katie Ruhde, vicepresident; Amanda Ewer, secretary; Danielle Gygi, treasurer; Haylee Hennekens, reporter;
and Taylor Farrell, sentinel.
Also in September, Lake Holcombe FFA members attended the sectional leadership
workshop in Osseo. Members attending were Kaylee Winchel, Carley Yeager, Emily Popp
and Summer Jones. They attended leadership workshops presented by the Wisconsin State
Officer team and National FFA officer.
In October, the chapter worked on the corn maze in the Lake Holcombe Booster Clubs
Trail of Terrors. Also in October, Andy Fijalkiewicz, Kyle Girard, Caitlyn Nitek and Sara
Stender, along with their adviser, Brian Guthman, attended the National
FFA Convention in Louisville, Ky.
They toured the Louisville Slugger Museum and took a factory
tour to see how Louisville slugger bats are made. The factory makes
all of the bats used in the NBL, and most others that use a wooden bat.
The 87th National FFA Convention started with keynote speaker
Nicholas Vujicic, who told thousands of FFA members from across the
country packed into Freedom Hall to imagine getting through a busy
day without hands or feet. He told them to picture their life without
the ability to walk, care for basic needs, or even embrace loved
ones.
Without any medical explanation or warning, Vujicic was born
without arms and legs. Three sonograms failed to reveal complications, and yet the Vujicic family was destined to cope with
raising a son who refused to allow his physical condition to limit
his lifestyle.
In December, FFA members once again sold fruit. The chapter
sold over 400 boxes, and thank the community and parents of
FFA members for their continued support.
On Feb. 2, members of the Lake Holcombe FFA hosted the District 3 FFA Speaking Contest in Lake Holcombe. Sixty-four FFA
members from eight schools competed at the contest.
Lake Holcombe FFA members served at registration, and as
time keepers and door guards, as well as at other tasks to make sure
the contest ran smoothly. The group was assisted by more than 18 judges from the surrounding communities, and thanks them for their assistance.
In March, the Lake Holcombe FFA, in cooperation with the Lake Holcombe Booster
Club, will sponsor winter fun days for the Jr. and Sr. high school students.
Dress up days, games and contests will be included in the weeklong event. A food drive
for the Lake Holcombe Food Pantry will also be held with competitions between classes.
The group says they look forward to a very active and exciting rest of 2015.
