Kaukauna native Mark Niquette sent the
following message on a postcard from London England. Yep, I got to see Lady Di!
I was walking home from the library one night when I saw a large crowd and walked
over to see what the fuss was about. Lady Di was scheduled to appear at a
London ceremony for a church fundraiser. A large motorcade and limo pulled up
and out popped Lady Di wearing a beautiful pink dress right out of Cinderella. She
winked at me, but it may have been something to do with the cameraman behind
me. Your foreign correspondent - Mark.

Tuesday night’s girls’ basketball game at Neenah
was important for two reasons. The girls won the match 61-32 and Sara Biese
needed to score only four points to smash Deb DeBroux’s school record of 813

“She did an excellent job and it didn’t come easy. She worked very hard and she
earned it.”

from other items when it eventually joins the waste stream. Likewise, aluminum
cans, glass bottles, cardboard, plastic items and yard waste will likely be
separated from the other rubbish and trash. The Outagamie County landfill won't
accept yard waste after April 1 of the coming year.

Every child who participates in basketball
dreams of a chance of getting a game-winning shot at the buzzer. Sara Seegers had
a chance Thursday night as she sank an 18-foot shot with no time remaining to
lift Kimberly past a heart-broken Kaukauna team 42-41. Seegers’ basket came
after Kaukauna’s Becky Anderson connected on a wide open inside shot to put the
Ghosts up 41-40 two seconds left on the clock. Kimberly called time out an inbound
pass found Seegers at half court after two steps she launched the ball for the
winning score.
