Ebben was one of 13 players selected for the Fox Valley Association all-conference
team. Ebben lead the Ghosts this year in scoring and rebounds.
Surviving a field of 650 participants, these seven
youngsters were recent winners in the Kaukauna KC sponsored free throw shooting
contest. Winners include Mary Verbeten, Michelle Reardon, Terry Fischer, David
Hinkens, Frank Nytes, Paul Van Lanen and Lisa Rickert.
The final score of
61-46 in favor of the Appleton East Patriots didn’t do justice to the kind of
effort the Ghosts gave. The Ghosts
recent personnel problems were compounded with the suspension of two more
players the day before the reginal. What the Ghosts lost in offensive punch,
they compensated with hustle and determination.
The Kaukauna Community Hospital spent over
$100,00 last year on building modifications to meet code requirements and patient
equipment. The facility showed a small profit for the 1977-78 year, according
to the financial report.

of a new lift span to replace the present Wisconsin Ave. bridge may hinge on

has resulted in the cost of the bridge to increase 40% from 2 million to 2.7
million since the estimated costs in 1975.
