Lt. Terry Hakes, one of three Cornell firefighters who responded to a fire call
Tuesday, Jan. 27, sprays water on a skid steer at the Scott Mohr farm on
County Highway D. Dave Tonnancour, the fire chief in charge at the scene, said
although there was a small turnout for the call, those who did respond were
able to suppress the fire quickly. Mohr returned to the farm to find the skidsteer
smoking, and pulled it out from between two barns. It could have been a lot
worse, said Tonnancour. But he was able to get it in the open and away from
structures.

Although the winter solstice officially began Sunday, Dec.
21, those who enjoy the season still have nearly two months
left to bask in outdoor activities associated with the colder
weather, including ice skating.
The Cornell Mill Yard Park ice rink officially opened last
Friday, Jan. 23, and city workers said it was well used over
the warmer weekend. Temperatures were above 30, which
might be good for getting out and about, but bad for keeping
ice rinks frozen.
It had a lot of use over the weekend, said John Westaby,
utility/public works director for the city. Its pretty rough
but they (city workers) were out there earlier working on it
and it should be in real good shape by the weekend.
Westaby said the rink is still open for use, and the city is

Brunet Island State Park in Cornell will play host to a Community Candlelight Ski and Sledding Event Saturday, Feb. 7.
Sledding will take place from 3 to 5 p.m.; and cross country
skiing and snowshoeing from 5 to 7 p.m.
The event, sponsored by the Cornell-Lake Holcombe Community Ed, the Cornell Lions Club and Cornell Area Betterment Association, will be held at the parks swimming beach.

event, and skis and snowshoes are available for use at no fee.
Event organizer Andrea Smith says the Candlelight Ski will
be held as long as the area doesnt see a major thaw. If the
weather holds and we dont lose any more snow, well be just
fine, she said.

Phillip J. Lukowicz
Phillip J. Lukowicz, 79, Conrath, passed away Wednesday,
Jan. 14, 2015, at Sacred Heart
Hospital in Eau Claire.
Phillip was born Nov. 6,
1935, to John and Isabel
(Mengel) Lukowicz in Marshfield.
He was united in marriage to
Dorothy Hiebsch in April
1957, and later divorced.
He received his education in
the Owen Schools, and was a
1953 graduate of Owen High School.
Phillip attended the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point,
received a bachelors degree in social work, majored in conservation and biology in 1957, and a masters of science degree in 1962 from UW-Milwaukee.
He worked as a social worker for the Sheboygan County
Department of Social Services Child Welfare from September 1957 to June 1962, and as a social work supervisor
for the Wood County Department of Social Services in
Wisconsin Rapids and Marshfield, until Dec. 1, 1969, when
he was promoted to director of the Wood County
Department of Social Services until his retirement June 15,
1998.
He was a member of the NASW-Academy of Certified Social Workers, UW-Stevens Point Alumni Association and the
SIASEFI Association.
Phil was active on various boards and committees in Rusk
County as an advocate for a balance between residents and
the impact on the environment.
Phil loved to fish on Lake Holcombe. For many years, not
only did his children and grandchildren enjoy his story telling
and fishing boat adventures, but his open door policy
welcomed so many friends.
His story telling and compassion for life was evident in
everything he did. He taught his children, and their siblings,
how to respect and enjoy nature by living a simple life and
taking in the environment.
The measure of who we are, is what we do with what we
have. Vince Lombardi
You have taught us well, Dad.
He is survived by his daughter, Elizabeth (Mike) Keough,
Wisconsin, and their children, Benjamin and Megan Keough;
sons, Phillip Jay (Kathy) Lukowicz, Minnesota, and their
children, Abigail and Jonathan Lukowicz, and Mathew
Joseph (Tracey) Lukowicz, Virginia, and their children,
Katie, Cameron and Kaden Lukowicz; and very special
friend, Charmaine Johnson, Ladysmith.

About 50 people gathered at the Holcombe United
Methodist Church Saturday for Taste of the Tundra. It is great
fun for the family that is enjoyed every year.
There were about 10 different chili dishes and every one a
little different, but all delicious. Liz Dempsey was the winner
of the taste contest.
When all was done, including the musical chairs and the
silent pie auction, the chili was frozen and then donated to
the Lake Holcombe Lions Club for the ice fishing contest
soon to take place.
Bill Stimeling was conspiculously missing, but was down
in Sun Prairie attending to church business. Pastor Kim and
family were in attendance greeting everyone as usual.
Many are fishing on Cranberry Lake and other areas of
Lake Holcombe.
Lake Holcombe Marina is having open house all week featuring all the beautiful pontoons and boats, even though we
have over a foot of ice. The time will go by all too quickly
when we will see boats once again on Lake Holcombe.
Everyone has been enjoying the January thaw.

If you have been following the proposals our state legislature has been considering for education lately, I hope
you are questioning if these changes would be good for all
children in Wisconsin, or mainly for private schools and
businesses.
Our state has a great public education system. If people
wish to go to another system, taxpayer funds should not
follow. The state cant afford two or more educational systems.
Since the statewide voucher program has opened up,
many of the students awarded vouchers had already been
attending private schools in the prior year(s). The money

to choose from. How will students be compared equally?
Should we be comparing students? Should we be comparing schools?
The socioeconomic status and demographics of each district is different. If each district does not start with students
at the same level, how can they be expected to end at the
same level? Then, to make the test comparisons less valid,
is the fact that parents can opt their children out of the tests.
There is also a proposal to convert poor performing public schools into charter schools. Charter schools do not
need to follow the same regulations as public schools, so
is this why there is a belief charters would be better for
children? If this is true, why not just eliminate many of the
mandates for public schools?
Teacher licensing is the new area of contention. Its proposed that anyone with a bachelors degree and life experience can get a teachers license if they pass a test.

At the regular Cornell City Council meeting Jan. 22, City
Administrator Dave DeJongh reported Cornell has received
a $5,000 Urban Forestry Grant to assist in a tree inventory.
The grant will also help make plans for arrival of the emerald
ash borer, a beetle whose larvae feed on the inner bark of ash
trees, disrupting the trees ability to transport water and nutrients.
As a matter of prevention, the grant will provide pro-active
measures to protect ash trees in Cornell. A survey/inspection
will be conducted of all trees on city property by GPS or GIS.
The hope is to take all of this information and put it on a
map, said DeJongh. The information will be keyed on each
tree and the condition of it. The individual that will be doing
the inventory will be documenting all of this; it should be a
very positive thing for the community.
As part of the process, water lines will be marked through
GPS to avoid roots interfering with the flow and placement
of young trees.
Trees are very useful to communities to hold storm water
in the ground and provide canopy for cooling, DeJongh said.
They can also not be so good if theyre not the right kind
for overhead lines.
On other agenda, after discussion at a Finance Committee
meeting prior to the regular meeting, the council voted to
offer the part-time police secretary position to Cleoan Wright

It was a victorious week for the Cadott Hornets Boys Basketball team
as they swept their rivals, Stanley-Boyd, and played a back-and-forth
game at Thorp to take the win by a mere four points.
Thorp is one of the toughest, if not the toughest place to play in our
conference, said
Brandon
Mittermeyer, Cadott head
coach, after the win
Friday night.

Besides trouble with putting the ball in
the basket, Jay Geist, Lake Holcombe head
coach, said the girls basketball team keeps
their confidence up and plays hard all the
way through their games.
They dont quit, he said. They dont
let up. We just cant get anything to go in
when we need to.
Jan. 20 vs. Shell Lake
(25-49 L, non-conference)
The Chieftains were only down by two
points after the first quarter against Shell
Lake in a Jan. 20 non-conference matchup.
A slow second quarter of only two points
put the hosting Lake Holcombe behind the
Lakers at halftime, 6-24.
Geist says the key thing for the girls is
banking in some hoops to make them more
competitive.
We are getting the shots, Geist said.
Its just to get our confidence up there.
In the second half of the game, it wasnt
much of a change offensively for the
Chieftains, until the final quarter, when
Lake Holcombe kept up to Shell Lake, 1415. But it wasnt enough to win the game,
and the Chieftains fell to Shell Lake,
25-49.
Jan. 22 vs. Unity
(28-35 L, non-conference)
When the Chieftains traveled to Unity
Jan. 22, they fought through to the final
buzzer, coming back in the fourth quarter
to gain a small lead on the Eagles.

At 145 pounds, Wyatt Cote, Cadott sophomore, battles against Spencers Nathan Neuman, falling by a
major decision, 2-10. The Hornets lost the Jan. 22
home meet, 10-56.

By Monique Westaby
The Hornets wrestling team started their week off with
a rough home meet against Spencer, losing a portion of
their points for forfeits. But the team rallied back from the
10-56 loss to take seventh at an Arcadia hosted tournament.
Jan. 22 vs. Spencer (conference)
It was a tough start to the week for the varsity wrestling
team in Cadott, when they hosted Spencer for parents
night Jan. 22. The Hornets forfeited four of the 14 matches,
and only three wrestlers brought in points for the team.
Sophomore Isaiah Pecha was given best takedown for
the day, while Cole Hanson, senior, earned best effort and
three points for his 5-1 decision over Travis Stelson.
Cole wrestled a great match, said Josh Spaeth, Cadott
head coach. He never stopped working for the pin.
Andrew Gunderson, freshman, and Austin Najbrt, senior,
also earned points for their team during the 10-56 loss.
Jan. 24 Arcadia Invitational
Two days after the Spencer defeat, the Hornets traveled
to Arcadia to challenge 15 other teams, coming away with
a seventh place finish.
Tyler Gillett, a junior, earned best effort, winning all five
of his tournament matchups, and a first place finish, his
second tournament win for the year.
Tyler has perfect practice attendance and always works
hard, said Spaeth. Keep working hard Tyler, your hard
work and dedication will pay off.
Senior Austin Najbrt took home a first place title as well,
winning all of his matches four by fall, and one by technical fall. Najbrt was given Fastest Pin, with his 13 second
fall over Viroquas Delilah Vance, and racked up 53.50
points for his team.
Also placing at the tournament were Cole Hanson, senior, in second; Andrew Gunderson, freshman, and Wyatt
Cote, sophomore, in third; Bailey Gillett, freshman, in seventh; Blake Borntrager, senior, in eighth; Dominick
Grimm, sophomore, in 11th; and Isaiah Pecha, sophomore,
in 13th.
Cote was also given Best Takedown, and earned 39 team
points, winning three of his five matches.
Brock Nesvacil, Cadott youth wrestler, pins his opponent, receiving second place at Prairie Farm during a Jan. 17 youth tournament. (Submitted Photo)
