At the regular board meeting Dec. 22, Paul Schley, superintendent, proposed increasing salaries for full-time
teachers by $2,000. He also proposed a pro-rated increase
for part-time teachers, and support staff hourly increases.
It still keeps us fairly low compared to a lot of area
schools, said Schley, but at least its a decent raise I can
justify.
Schley had proposed a change at the November regular
meeting, telling board members that post Act 10, salaries
for teachers were really jumping up.
We used to be well above Chippewa, they were $28,500
and we were $33,000 and now they jumped to $35,000,
said Schley at the November meeting. We dont want to
be non-competing.
Support staff salary increases include those for the bookkeeper, lead custodian, custodian I, district administrator
assistant, lead cook, cooks, custodial aids, nurse, office assistants and paraprofessionals.
The decision will be acted on at the Jan. 26 regular meeting, along with a benefit increase from $16,200 to $17,400.
Schley says even with a $2,000 increase, the district will
still be lower teacher salaries than others in the area
(Gilman, $35,535; Cadott, $35,893; and Lake Holcombe
$36,768).
On other agenda, the board approved hiring Steve Parker
as the biology/chemistry teacher for the 2015-16 school
year. Schley says Matt Amundson, the current chemistry,
physics and calculus teacher, will not be returning next year.
He (Amundson) actually retired three years ago and has
since come back to help us out on a part-time basis, said
Schley in an email. He is retiring again at the end of the
school year and we will miss him greatly.
With spring elections coming up, two board members are
on the ballot Lyle Briggs (president) and Paul Wallerius
(treasurer). Briggs says he is running again, and Wallerius
says although he hasnt submitted his decision yet, he is
leaning toward running again.
Cornell and Cadott to host community blood drives

By Ginna Young
Area residents will have the opportunity to make a contribution to the American Red Cross at the Cornell Community
Blood Drive Monday, Jan. 5, from noon to 6 p.m., at Our
Saviors Lutheran Church.
We need the blood, please come out and give, said organizer Sue Jensen.
A drivers license or blood donor card is required. Sixteenyear-olds are eligible to donate with a signed Red Cross
parental consent form.
The community blood drive has set their donation goal at
25 pints, but Jensen says they also share numbers of pints to
the Cornell High School Blood Drive toward scholarships
for student volunteers if necessary.
Wed love to make our goal, and above and beyond that,
Jensen said. Its the best gift; it saves lives.
To schedule an appointment, call Sue Jensen at 715-2396752.
The Cornell Community Blood Drive isnt the only oppor-
tunity to give in the new year. A blood drive will also be held
Monday, Jan. 12, 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., in the Cadott High
School small gym, hosted by the Cadott Future Business
Leaders of America (FBLA).
Shari Gunderson, FBLA adviser, says throughout the day,
FBLA members help the blood center unload equipment and
set up, log students in and out, and oversee the recovery area.
We are hoping for 48 usable units, said Gunderson.
Many of these come from our student donors, aged 16 and
above.
Gunderson says the purpose of the blood drive is to begin
students on a lifetime of donation.
We often have grads come back as walk-in donors the day
of the drive, Gunderson said. We are hoping this will happen again this year before students return to college. January
is typically a month where donations are low, and all donations stay in this area of Wisconsin.
To make an appointment, contact Shari Gunderson at 715289-3795, ext. 4220.

OPINION

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! (even if youre not from there)

By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
What a year 2014 has
been.
January marks my one
year anniversary as editor
of this newspaper. Its had
its ups and downs, maybe
more downs than ups at times, but overall, the
experience has been good.
So whats in a year? Twelve months, 52
weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours and 525,600
minutes. Research suggests the average person takes 12-20 breaths per minute; thats
about 8.5 million breaths, conservatively, in
one year.
Of those 8.5 million breaths, I would guess
about 6.5 million of mine were slow, deep
breaths, where I reminded myself this was
just a job, and to not let myself stress over
something someone said.
Starting out, I made my fair share of mistakes in the newspaper (and yes, I know some
still get by here and there) and I heard about
it just about every time. Sometimes the phone
calls and emails were kind reminders to
recheck our facts, while others were quite blatant about NOTGETTINGITWRONG.
I took a breath, apologized, said I was still
getting used to the responsibilities, and
moved on my way with the next weeks issue.
So does that mean theres no excuse for
printing incorrect information? At times, but
our brains are an incredible organ that tends
to play tricks on us, even when we try our
hardest to look for mistakes.
Just the other day I wrote a column titled
He who has the most toys doesnt win, but he
donates the most does. Did you read that
headline with a who after the second he?
Because I did, several times, as did the others
who read my article. In fact, it made it
through three or four readings before it was
finally caught by our proof reader.

But people dont care about small mistakes
and mishaps like those. Its the getting names
spelled wrong, printing seemingly incorrect
information, or the one we hear the most
theres too much in the paper about (insert
neighboring town/school) and not enough
about (insert your town/school).
At the end of each suggestion/complaint/
reprimand, I take a deep breath, smile and explain the situation:
Im sorry to hear you feel that way. With
the number of staff on hand, its difficult to
cover every event happening in the three
communities we cover, but you are more than
welcome to send in photos next time for publication consideration.
Or:
Im sorry to hear you feel that way. You
would be surprised at how many people from
(insert Cadott, Cornell or Lake Holcombe)
say the same thing about the lack of coverage
they believe they receive.
Having worked inCadott as the office
manager my first year or so here, I have a little more insight into this line of thinking.
Nearly every week someone would come into
the office and say there was nothing about
Cadott in the newspaper, that it was all about
rounding ones.
Im the same way. Growing up I didnt care
about the Hornets Nest or Cornell school
news, I wanted to read Chieftain Chatter, because thats where I was from. Now, having
worked for a newspaper which covers each
of the three areas, Ive found myself interested in all of them.
I get excited when Cadott wins a basketball
game, or Cornell pays off their mortgage. I
like seeing Lake Holcombe earn All-Conference while Cornell gets a new wheel loader.
Or hearing that Cadott finished their waste
water treatment plant, and Lake Holcombe is
adding to their Wayside Park. Ive grown attached to all three communities, and this coming year, Id like to see our readers do the
same.
It doesnt matter how many times Cadott
and Cornell are on the front, or if Lake Holcombe ran inside. In a few weeks, Cadott will
be where Lake Holcombe was and Cornell
will be where Cadott was; it all evens out in
the course of a year.
Take a deep breath and make 2015 a year
of change. Open your hearts, and reading
eyes, to your neighboring communities, you
might be surprised at how interesting they
are.

Cornell. Then, Id hear someone from Cornell

tell me how much was in about Cadott and
they missed when it was the Cornell Courier.
Deep breaths.
As a way to see if there was any merit to
these thoughts, and perhaps improve if there
was, we began a running tally of when people
stopped, or called, to tell us there was too little, or too much, about one area over the
other.
This past year, Holcombe came out on top
as the town with the most information published, according to our readers. Cornell
broke ground for several months, but ended
back at square one with equal tallies for most
and least information. Cadott initially came
out with a negative balance for the least information published, but some last minute
opinions also brought them back to square
one.
We knew the results were not a serious indication of which area received the most publishing time, as we try to give equal press to
all, but more or less to see just how things
would pan out, according to our readers. The
study shows that Cadott, Cornell and Lake
Holcombe are pretty equal when it comes
down to it, and readers merely prefer to see
news from their area, rather than the sur-

munity goes far beyond that. To me, community means good-hearted people, willing to
help when called upon.
Cadott, Cornell and Holcombe might not
have the largest populations in the world, or
the most money to spend, but when theres a
need to be met, they answer.
Thats a community.
How many times have the schools collected more than 1,000 items for a food
drive? How many times do donation tables
overflow at a benefit? How many extra dollars are stuffed in collection jars at fundraisers?
Thats a community.
How many diapers are received for local
food pantries because the need was brought
to attention? How many overseas soldiers get
packages from those they dont even know?
How many gifts are placed under a giving
tree?
Thats a community.
And it doesnt stop there. Whether its a
huge event or an everyday occurrence, acts
of kindness are everywhere as a matter of
course.
Like when youre treated to a birthday
meal or face painting at the fair. Like when
youre given tickets to the Brewers game or
when someone gives you fresh produce from
their garden. Like when your neighbors plow
you out or push you out of a snowbank, and
expect nothing in return.
Thats a community.
Sometimes, its something as simple as
holding the door open or saying hello. Sometimes its a friendly wave or smile. Sometimes its letting someone go ahead of you at
the checkout.
Thats a community.
Dont get me wrong, bigger cities certainly
have a lot to offer and can be really fun to explore. You can go to the movies, shopping
centers and have unlimited choices of restaurants.
But they do lack one thing, and thats a
sense of community. The bigger townships
are just that big. You probably wont know
everyone there and the pace of life is even
more hectic than in rural places.
Its nice to live in a town where you know
Mike, Jim and Harry will meet at the cafe for
breakfast. You know Sally, Mable and Julie
will be at the salon for their Thursday hair
appointment. You know its 1:30 p.m. when
Charlie drops by the bank or 3 p.m. when
Helen picks up her paper.
Thats a community.
When bad things happen, they mourn with
you. When theres a triumph, they rejoice
with you; they accept you as one of their own
and join in on running jokes.
Thats a community.
Community means more than just the place
you live, it means people who support each
other through thick and thin. It means you
can count on them and they have your back.
It means a place to come home to and know
you belong.
Thats a community.

Tales of our Beginnings

Cadott Cornell Lake Holcombe areas
The Cadott Area Historical Society

The Cadott Area Historical Society (CAHS) began as a thought
in the minds of 12 local citizens
in 1986. Their goal was to collect,
preserve and display Cadotts artifacts, and to research local history and traditions. Ned Willkom
was elected the first president;
Gordon Peterson, vice president;
Carmen Filtz, secretary; Edith
Couey, historian; Edna Siverling,
publicity chairman; and Ken Kenealy, treasurer.
By-laws were prepared in September 1986 as required for state affiliation; a
logo contest was held to choose an official representation for letterheads, displays and articles that represent the society. Meeting at first in the Citizens State
Bank basement, the society purchased its first home, a two room schoolhouse
from the Thorp School District.
The organization outgrew that
and has added several buildings
because Cadotts citizens have
been so generous in donating artifacts. Staffed entirely by volunteers, the CAHS is active in
Cadott Nabor Days and like
events.
The museum is located on the
east side of Highway 27, north of the Cadott Community Schools and across the
highway from Riverview Park. Visitors may stop and see displays during regular
hours: Mondays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., except holidays.

Cadott graduate makes good on promise
COURIER SENTINEL
Jaimie Chapek, account services representative of Realityworks, Inc., Eau Claire, presented a $300 check to Cadott
Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) Vice President
Courtney Pederson and member Brooke Pederson. Chapek,
a 2008 Cadott graduate, graduated with a degree in world
politics from UW-Eau Claire before joining the Realityworks
team.
Realityworks has a charitable giving philosophy, said
Chapek. Employees are encouraged to nominate organizations that make an impact on individuals lives.
Chapek says she nominated Cadott FBLA because of its
importance in her personal life. She is a former FBLA member and competitor, and held offices ranging from reporter to
president. In 2007, she and partner Eric LaRose competed in
the Business Ethics event, placing fifth at the state level.
During Chapeks interview for the Realityworks position,
she says she used her ethics skills to answer scenario questions.
I didnt take any business courses in college, but everything I learned about a cover letter and a resum were from
my business courses in Cadott, and my involvement with
FBLA, Chapek said.
Comparing the donation value to the effort required to
make a profit from selling candy bars, Pederson says, Thats
a lot of candy bars.
Shari Gunderson, FBLA adviser, said she always tells her
students when they graduate that they are making a promise
to remember her when they are rich and famous.
Jaimie is the first person to do that, said Gunderson.

Youth artists invited to

enter state poster contest
The WisDOTs Bureau of Aeronautics encourages children
ages seven to 17, to showcase their artistic talent by participating in the annual statewide poster contest, with this years
World Air Games theme.
The top three entries in three age divisions will advance to
the national competition, with the potential to be entered in
the international aviation art contest.
In addition, statewide winners will receive the following
prizes: first place, $100 art supply gift certificate or an airplane ride for two; second place, $75 art supply gift certificate; third place, $50 art supply gift certificate.
All artwork must be original and cannot be computer generated. For complete contest rules and entry form, visit the
WisDOT website.
Entries must be postmarked by Jan. 23, 2015, and mailed
to: Karen Broitzman, WisDOT Bureau of Aeronautics, P.O.
Box 7914, Madison, WI 53707-7914.
The frozen road law expanded Dec. 24, to include numbered state and federal highways within the area designated
by the WisDOT as Zone 2, across much of north central Wisconsin. The frozen road law is already in effect in Zone 1 in
far northern Wisconsin. The frozen road determination for
other portions of the state will be made once conditions warrant.
The frozen road law allows heavier loads for trucks carrying peeled or unpeeled forest products cut crosswise (not including woodchips), and salt and sand for winter
maintenance until approximately early March, unless thawing necessitates an earlier cancellation of the provision or
continued cold weather allows for an extension of the declaration period.
Special permits for hauling increased weights will not be
required in Zones 1 and 2, however, vehicles must be legally
licensed at 80,000 pounds to handle the increased weights.
The higher weight limits do not apply to county or local roads
unless authorized by the local agency having maintenance
authority. Also, higher weights may not be transported on any
highways or bridges specifically posted for lower weight limits.

Winter can be tough on heaters, and sometimes one heater

is just not enough to heat an entire house. Electric space
heaters can be very helpful; however, if they are not used and
monitored properly, they can be dangerous, says Jason Lee,
Mr. Electric public relations specialist.
Lee suggests considering the following in regard to space
heaters this winter season:
Before buying a space heater, be sure it has been safety
certified, with a safety certification mark on the box. Many
space heaters have a safety feature that automatically turns
the space heater off when it is tipped to a certain degree.
When using a space heater, inspect for damages, and
check the power cord for burn marks or frays. Turn switches
on and off to make sure they are in proper working order.
Place the heater on a level, stable surface at least three
feet away from any combustible items. Never run the heater
cords under carpets or rugs, and never leave an electric heater
unattended.
Before moving the heater, switch it off and allow time
for it to cool down. Keep children and animals away from
space heaters.

Chiefs triumph over Gilmanton Panthers

By Kayla Peche
The Cornell Chiefs Girls Basketball team scored a season-high 62 points in a
62-16 non-conference win over the Gilmanton Panthers Dec. 23, at home.
Using a big second quarter to take control of the court, Cornell outscored the
Panthers, 21-2, to take a 29-9 lead at halftime.
Senior Makenzie Ewings led the way for Cornell with 17 points, followed by
junior Elizabeth Sproul with 16. Cornell seniors Jane Hickethier and Samantha
Sippy added seven points each in the win.
Cornell had 10 players contribute to the victorious high-scoring game, and of
those, two seniors Kammey Kendall and Kaitlin Peterson made baskets for the
team.
The Chiefs played at the Glenwood City Classic against McDonell Dec. 29,
and Glenwood City the following day.

At a Dec. 23 Cloverbelt conference game, the Cadott Hornets Girls Basketball team put up a fight, but the Thorp Cardinals pulled away with the win, 52-33.
After coming from their first victory over Cornell, and then
a two-point loss against Augusta, Dave Hazuga, Cadott head
coach, said the girls will continue to learn and develop as a
team.
The girls are working hard and giving it everything, says
Hazuga.
Cadott was behind, 23-33, after three quarters, and failed
to catch up, getting outscored, 10-19, in the final quarter.
Senior Samantha Rineck led Cadott with 19 points, and
freshman Alexis Kramer added six.

Height stings Hornets in Cloverbelt matchup

By Kayla Peche
Brandon Mittermeyer, Cadott boys head coach, said earlier
in the week McDonell would be a tough team to beat, and
unfortunately, he was right.
The Cadott Hornets Boys Basketball team traveled to McDonell Central Dec. 23, and were defeated, 73-48, in a West
Cloverbelt Conference game.
We went into a zone against them due to their height,
said Mittermeyer. It went well for a short period of time, but
it was tough to handle.
Mittermeyer says the Macks have four players who are
over 6 feet, 5 inches, which was difficult when Cadott doesnt
have that kind of height.
Only trailing by four points after the first quarter, Cadott
was even at the boards with the Macks until the fourth quarter, when McDonell outscored Cadott, 28-15, for the win.
We did not allow them to run as well as they usually do,
said Mittermeyer, which was a great sign.

An Outdoorsmans Journal By Mark Walters

An Experiment on Lac Vieux Desert
Hello friends,
I am going to be all over the map with this weeks column
so here it goes. I want to do more fun outdoor activities in the
far northern and northeastern parts of Wisconsin.
Last week I made a ton of calls, and looked at a bunch of
websites, and in the end, my buddy, Jeff Moll, told me about
a coworker, Tyler Nolan, who fishes on Lac Vieux Desert in
Vilas County.
For the last 30 years his family and friends have stayed at
the family owned Hillside Resort (gofish@hillside/resort)
After speaking with Tyler, I called Rob Andersen Sr. (the
co-owner of Hillside) who set me up with his son, Rob Jr. I
did not actually talk to Rob Jr. until the trip north this morning,
but I knew I was in good hands as soon as our conversation
was over.
Here is where I get all over the map.
This is my test trip for the 9 foot enclosed trailer I made last
spring. I had a window put in it, a side door, rear drop door
for loading four wheelers and snowmobiles, jacks for the rear
end, 15 inch tires and, of course, an aluminum frame.
I haul feed, calves and gear in it, and always have a dry
home when it is needed. Today, I had my Polaris Sportsman
500 in it, and my plan was to pull my home on wheels with
the Sportsman to the honey hole my new buddy, who I had
yet to meet, was going to show me.
So, I pulled into Phelps and was at the local mini mart dropping a hundred dollar bill on bait, beer and fuel, when a fella
walked up to me and said, I know who you are.
We shook hands and I met Mark Curtiss, a local fishing
guide who planned to fish with us, and good friend of Rob
Jr.s.
It is windy and snowing when I reach Hillside Resort,
which has 10 cabins. I hear it is a really cool restaurant and
bar, and I am betting I will
stay at in the future.
Soon, Rob Jr. pulls up on
a snowmobile. I unload the
Sportsman and hook it to my
trailer. Three fishermen and
two dogs, my pregnant
golden retriever, Fire, and
Robs 12-year-old red/yel-
low lab, Bailey, make the mile or so journey to a place we

hope to catch some walleye and that I will call home until the
middle of the next day.
The first thing these guys did was tell me they wanted to
run my Jiffy Pro 4; its operated on propane and is a true joy
to use.
I soon learned Rob and Mark have this down to a science,
at least kind of, as they do not use GPS units and had not
fished this spot yet this year. What they did do was drill holes
and use their Vexilar to find a weedy drop-off on a sand bar.
Ten feet was too shallow; 12 feet was what they were looking for. We strung out nine tip-ups baited with medium golden
shiners. When I set my second one down, a fish took it just as
I set the flag. It sure seemed like a walleye, but we will never
know since it got away.
Long story short, we caught a mess of small northern pike,
and talked a lot while I prepared my home for a night on the
ice.
Late in the day I had the pleasure of meeting Robs wife,
Laura Andersen, as she came out on the ice by snowmobile
with her nine-year-old daughter, Brook. I also fished with
three-year-old Cody and his seven-year-old brother, Nason.
Nason actually caught our first walleye a beautiful 18-incher.
Last Sunday, Cody caught a 28.5 inch walleye by himself
with a tip-up, which is pretty incredible for a three-year-old.
I watched this young family on the ice and had vivid memories from when I helped raise three boys and a daughter, and
living on the ice.
Tonight it was just Fire and me. I was concerned that after
30 days of nearly zero belly growth she may not be with pups,
but her belly grew 3 inches in the last 14 days.
The trailer worked perfect. I put a cot and a Coleman lantern
in it, left the door open all night, and lived the good life on
the hard water while consuming some homemade
chili with all veggies coming
from my garden, and the
burger from a deer my
daughter had harvested.
Life is good.
We could use more ice!

Its a Girls Hunting

Life
By: Monique Westaby
The Morning After
Following my run in with
the swamp water the night
before (opening night of coon season), and my run in with
the river wading while bear hunting earlier in the year, I
knew it was time to turn in the ol matching leaf boots.
Wed had a good run, and lots of good walks, and although it took me 20 minutes to decide which ones matched
the best, and received incredulous disbelieving looks from
the shoe department at Scheels, it was time we parted ways.
It was a late morning waking up, since hitting the sack
had occurred somewhere around 4:30-5 a.m. After surprisingly very little persuasion, and several long minutes of
whining, Scott, my husband, and I headed to Eau Claire.
We joked about finding the perfect ones, and decided I
could maybe work on being a little less picky this time.
After all, those boots hadnt stayed matching long, and were
soon covered in tire patches, faded leaves and uncleanable
dirt residue.
Next on things to decide was how warm I wanted them
to be. My first pair was 800 gram thinsulate since, you
know, I figure I live in Wisconsin and the warmer the better,
right?
Well, if youve ever owned a pair of these insulated rubber boots, you know getting 800 gram thinsulate is a good
idea, if you plan to sit in a tree stand all day in the midst of
a 20 below zero blizzard. Coon hunting opens in October.
October, usually, is not 20 below zero.
Having spent the last several years sweating my socks off
walking through the woods, I decided perhaps something a
little on the thinner side would be best.
Scheels had several selections and I meandered around
trying to decide if I should get the same brand, or try for
something new. Like the first time looking for boots, girl
collections were scarce and unless I wanted water-resistant
or pink ribbons, they were not going to have the style I was
looking for.
I moved over to the mens department and there they
were, like a light had shone down from shoe heaven rubber hunting boots that were all one color in front. There
would be no leaf matching, comparing or eye rolling.
The salesman explained the benefits of these boots, which
featured a waterproof material on the heel, where most of
the holes had formed on my old boots. The new material
would keep that from happening, and a redesign of the toe
promised to keep cracks and holes away.
He pulled out my size and they fit
like a glove. He
asked if I would
like them in a
warmer style and
after explaining
what they were
for, he said these
would be the best
option. I carefully
placed them back
in the box and gave
Scott my puppy dog
eyes. He grabbed
the box and headed
to the counter.
I couldnt wait to
try my new boots
that night.
There
are leaves and camouflage on these
boots, but its in the
back where I cant see
it, so matching is not a top priority. These boots
have less insulation, and weigh about 10 pounds
lighter than my last pair, making walking through
the woods in mid-October much easier.

Grant provides starting

point for students idea
By Kayla Peche
The Cadott High School Student Council, with the help of
their adviser, Alisha Neinfeldt, applied for a mini-grant from
the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) for funding programs dealing with health and safety.
We were selected from an external review team at the DPI
and were awarded $1,000, Neinfeldt said.
Neinfeldt says the student council couldnt move forward
with any ideas without funding, but because of the grant, they
can now move full steam ahead on the Stop the Texts
Stop the Wrecks project.
The student council committee of Hannah Mathison, senior; Joie Calkins, junior; Charlene Holte, junior; Maia
Schroeder, junior; Anel Eckwright, junior; Tory Crank, junior; Courtney Pederson, junior; and Bobbi Burgess, sophomore, say texting and driving is a major risk behavior in
teenagers, especially in the Cadott community.
Neinfeldt says the council is planning to get a speaker,
make signs for the student parking lot, have several activities
showing the dangers of texting and driving, and provide lanyards or keychains to promote and create awareness of why
this behavior can be risky.
We are excited to start this event in the spring, said Neinfeldt. And we are eager to see the difference it will make
in our school and our community.
Neinfeldt says they are also looking for donors and sponsors to help fund the remainder of the project. Anyone interested can contact Neinfeldt at neinfeldta@cadott.k12.wi.us.

with pretzels and marshmallows.
Heidi Czyscon helped the first graders write Christmas letters to soldiers, about the projects students were involved
with in school, and activities at home. The letters will be sent
to the American Red Cross, which sends hundreds of cards
and letters to men and women serving in the military.
Heather Frisinger led the students in an activity with bubbles. If the temperature had been colder, the bubbles would
have hardened without popping. The students say they had
fun experimenting and seeing how the pointy side of a pine
needle pierced the bubble without popping it.
Wendy Sedivy then took them on a hike through the school

Focus on Your School

By Dr. Paul Schley,
District Administrator
We had another great year at the Cornell School District. This past fall, the elementary school once again received the Wisconsin School of Recognition Award. This
is the fourth year in a row we have won this award.
We saw the second season of a co-op football program
with Lake Holcombe that qualified for the playoffs. Volleyball and basketball are the only two sports not co-oped
between the two schools; an academic co-op middle
school/high school is something I hope for each year, in
order to provide students of both communities more opportunities to keep up with their peers in larger school
districts.
We did not see an increase in state aid in 2013, but still
managed to decrease local taxes, as it was the first year
without an elementary school building debt levy in 20
years. Our overall revenue decreased by $69,670.72 last
year, but by spending less, we were able to add
$159,081.27 to our fund balance. The fund balance is
very healthy at $2,038,264.23, which is approximately
45 percent of our annual expenditures.
Early estimates predict a slight surplus budget for the
Cornell School District at the end of our fiscal year in
June. The elementary building was paid off in March, and
there is only one levy left in the fall of 2015, before the
high school building is paid off. The school district is sitting in great financial shape right now.
While we cant predict what will happen in Madison
for the next biennial budget, we do know that in Cornell
we receive great community support and we look forward
to that continuing in the future.
I thank you for support of your school district in 2014,
and look forward to working with you to accomplish all
we can for the children of Cornell in 2015.

COURIER SENTINEL
Five tips to decrease

your risk
of falls
By Jenny Nereng, physical therapist,
Cornell Area Care Center
Remove throw rugs
Throw rugs add a decorative touch to our homes but
can be a major tripping hazard and risk for falls in the
elderly. It is best that throw rugs be removed to prevent
catching toes on the edge of the rug, or slipping of the
rug on a smooth surface such as wood, tile or laminate
floors.
Use night lights to illuminate your hallways at night
We maintain our balance via sensory receptors in our
feet, our vestibular system in our inner ears and from visual feedback from our eyes. At night, or in darkened
rooms, our ability to utilize visual feedback from our eyes
is diminished and therefore we rely more strongly on our
other sensory receptors. Individuals who lack sensation
in the feet are at further risk for falls when visual feedback from the eyes is reduced. This can be easily corrected by illuminating dark rooms and hallways with
night lights to ensure safely walking from room to room.
Clear the floor of clutter
Boxes, newspaper, clothing and shoes left on the floor
add excess obstacles to maneuver around and increase the
risk of falling in the home. To ensure safety, it is best the
floor be clear of clutter and that all walkways are wide
enough to safely maneuver your feet, and your walker or
cane if you use one.
Wear shoes with a rubber sole and grip
The soles of our shoes wear down with time and it is
important to assess the tread of shoes regularly. When
you begin to notice the tread is smoothing out or that your
ability to grip the floor on tile, wood and linoleum surfaces decreases, then it is time to replace your shoes.
Sneakers with good tread and laces are the safest option.
Avoid slip on shoes and house slippers if you have a history of falls or balance instability.
Speak to your physician if you notice increased weakness in the legs, or difficulty with your functional mobility.
As we age or as our activity level decreases, the
strength in our legs may decrease also. Weakness in legs,
poor flexibility in muscles and decreased joint mobility
can contribute to increased risk of falling. If you notice
that rising to stand from the chair, getting up and down
steps/curbs safely, or that walking in general is becoming
more challenging, contact your physician. Your physician
can assist you to find a physical therapist who can help
to improve strength, flexibility, joint mobility and balance
stability in order to help you to function at your maximum potential and decrease your risk of falls and/or injury.

Jim Falls woman fulfills her dream after tragedy strikes

It took a long time for Krista Huppert, Jim Falls, to heal
enough to have a rebirth of a dream she felt so long ago, but
when she received her nurses pin and her associate degree
in nursing from Chippewa Valley Technical College (CVTC)
Dec. 16, she made that dream come true.
It took me so many years to realize this is what Im supposed to do, Huppert said. Im finishing what I started.
Huppert says she needed to heal from the pain she felt the
day she performed CPR on her father in the Jim Falls home
where she later raised her own family. Her father died that
day and, in the aftermath, she dropped out of the nursing
school she was attending.
Huppert, a 1990 Chi-Hi graduate, was a stay-at-home mom
for much of her life after the interrupted attempt at nursing
school. She and her husband, Terry, raised two children, now
ages 18 and 20.
We live in the house I grew up in; Ive lived there all my
CVTC to host Affordable

Care Act public sessions
The Chippewa County Affordable Care Action Team, in
partnership with Chippewa County Department of Human
Services and Chippewa Health Improvement Partnership,
will host additional Affordable Care Act information and enrollment sessions for the public before the close of Open Enrollment Feb. 15.
Those who enrolled in the Marketplace last year will need
to re-enroll, update personal information and be aware of any
changes to coverage, if any.
Information sessions will give the public an overview of
the Affordable Care Act and the Health Insurance Marketplace, with guidelines and tips for signing up online, by
phone or paper application. Enrollment sessions will offer
personal assistance with a certified health care guide for those
seeking insurance.
These sessions are free and open to the public, and will be
held at the Chippewa Valley Technical College Chippewa
Falls campus, 770 Scheidler Road.
Dates and times: Tuesday, Jan. 13, 5 to 6 p.m., information
and Tax Talk (room 116), 5 to 8 p.m., enrollment session,
(room 103); Friday, Jan. 30, 10 to 11 a.m., information session (room 118), 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., enrollment session (room
103); Tuesday, Feb. 10, 5 to 6 p.m., information session
(room 112), 5 to 8 p.m., enrollment session (room 103).
life, she said.

Huppert enrolled in CVTCs Instructional Assistant program, which is no longer offered, graduating in 2008. She
worked for several years at the alternative school in
Chippewa Falls, but then said she started to feel the call of
the profession she first chose when she finished high school.
The memory of what happened the day her father died could
no longer hold her back.
I will be better now because of it, Huppert said. It was
a hard time in my life. I would like to go into wound care.
Its going to be a growing field and its the type of nursing
where you can build rapport with your patient, and you can
see the improvement.
Local recruits sworn into

State Patrol at ceremony
After 23 weeks of training, 47 cadets were sworn in and received their badges as Wisconsin State Patrol officers during
a graduation ceremony in Madison, Dec.19, with Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch as the keynote speaker.
Among the graduates are Kevin Christorf, Cadott; and Brett
Boley, Bill Lindeman and Ashley Morales, all of Chippewa
Falls.
Lindeman received the Governors Award for Outstanding
Personal Achievement and the Superintendents Award for Academic Excellence.
Cadets in the 60th Recruit Class began their training at the
Wisconsin State Patrol Academy, located at Fort McCoy, July
13. Their training prepares them for law enforcement careers
as State Patrol troopers or inspectors in one of five regions in
the state.
Throughout their rigorous training as cadets, our newest officers displayed the mental, physical and emotional strength
needed for the State Patrols traffic and public safety missions,
said Capt. Gerald Voight, commander of the State Patrol Academy. They completed comprehensive classroom and handson training in an array of subjects, including traffic and
criminal law, firearms marksmanship, emergency vehicle operations, crisis management and traffic crash investigations.
The state requires at least 520 hours of training to earn certification as a law enforcement officer. However, our cadets
received more than 800 hours of training before graduation,
and they will continue their training and education throughout
their careers.
Industrial sand mining health impact assessed
