Kaukauna’s Kate
Kulas does not mind talking about the time she came close to abandoning her
career as a vocal performer. She does not mind because she owes her current
success, in part, to that difficult period in her life. Kate, who recently
captured first place in two divisions of the annual vocal competition sponsored
by the Greater Miami Opera and Young Patronesses of the Opera Inc., will be the
feature performer in the September 14 benefit musical at the Lawrence
University Chapel. The program to benefit the fund drive for the new addition
to the St. Paul Nursing Home in Kaukauna.
An early morning accident Sunday in the town of
Freedom resulted in fatal injuries to a Little Chute man. Thomas Evers, 27,
Canal Street, was pronounced dead at the scene of an accident, on Highway C and
E. Evers was a passenger in a car which was eastbound on Highway E and which
apparently left the road and rolled over a number of times.

The Outagamie County district attorney's office
will look into charges that some members of the Board of Education violated the
state's open meeting law by taking action on matters not officially noted on
the meeting agendas. The Kaukauna Police department filed a complaint this week
in which board members John Mau and Ken Kavanaugh alleging that the Board
President Walter Schmidt had not listed action on lifting probation against
three high school coaches on the board meeting agendas. Kavanaugh said not
listing the action was illegal and that a vote was taken to eliminate the
probationary status was illegal because it was not properly listed.
The Kaukauna football team couldn't have picked
a better time to stage a comeback. Trailing 15-0 in the middle of the second
quarter, the Ghosts rallied for eighteen unanswered points to slip past Menasha
18-15 at Doty Bayorgeon field Friday night. Junior fullback John Lamers and
senior halfback Ezell Evers led the Ghost offensive charge throughout the
second half.
Carol Ann Alger Frank, businesswoman and
member of the Kaukauna high school Alumni Association Board of Directors for

The 170 or so people who sat in on the open
meeting of Kaukauna's Greyhound track advisory panel were generally favorable
of the committee's report and several people spoke in favor of the plan.
Questions did arise over the possibility of traffic congestion, noise and
litter around the site of the proposed track at highways 41 and 55.
