Kaukauna Times

Guy Krumm, recently retired
Kaukauna High School Athletic Director, will be inducted into the University of
Wisconsin-Stevens Point Athletic Hall of Fame this fall. During his college
career at Point, Krumm was a member of both the football and basketball teams,
being an all-conference basketball player for two straight years.
Contract negotiations
will continue today in an effort to find agreement on a contract between the
Thilmany mill and its two United Paperworkers International Union locals. A
meeting by members of those labor groups is reported to be scheduled for
Friday, although union officials were not available and company officials
declined to comment on that report. Thilmany employs over 1,300 persons and has
an annual payroll of over $11 million.

Funeral services were
held at St. Mark's Church, Two Rivers, Friday for former Kaukauna resident
Theodore Feller, who died of cancer last week after a long illness. He was 77.
At the age of 16 Feller enlisted in the Army and served with the 32nd Division
in France in World War I. Through an error in identity at a field hospital, he
was reported to have died of combat wounds. A requiem mass was said for him at
Holy Cross and a gold star placed in the service flag. Several weeks later his
family received a letter from him, telling of his having been wounded and of
his recuperation. Thus, he had the unusual experience of reading the report of
his own death.
Employees of the
Thilmany Pulp and Paper Co., voting by a large margin, accepted a contract with
the mill for the coming two years. The vote was 663 to 103 in favor of
accepting the contract among representatives of local 147 of the United
Paperworkers Industrial Union while members of local 20 voted in favor of the
contract by a 174 to 21 margin.
Chuck Bayer, who has won two other
area tournaments this year, added the Fox Valley Golf Club championship award
to his trophy shelf, fashioning a three under par 143 over the Labor Day
weekend. He edged out Tom Hanby, three times champion in the past, by two
strokes.

Patricia M. Miller, Kaukauna High School
1945, graduate nurse and an officer in the Army nurse corps, was recently
advanced to the rank of colonel. She is one of the very few women who are
privileged to wear the silver eagle insignia. Her title is Chief of Career
Activities Office, Army Nurse Corps.
Quarterback Reed
Giordana, former Kaukauna High School star, completed 19 of 29 passes for 250
yards as he led the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point to a 38-3 victory
over Lakeland College in the Pointer's home opener. Giordana played just over
half the game and threw for three touchdowns.
Todd Lunda forged a two-under par
33 for a new school record to steal individual honors and the Kaukauna Ghost
golf team defeated Neenah on the first hole of sudden death in a dual meet at Bridgewood
country club last Friday.
September 14, 1976
An agreement has been
reached for the sale and transfer of the business and assets of the White
Clover Cairy Co. of Hollandtown, producers of quality natural cheeses, to
Gerber International Foods, Inc. of Stamford, Conn., a subsidiary of the Nestle
Co., of White Plains, N.Y.
Leslie C. Smith, former director of
industrial relations at Thilmany Pulp and Paper Company, who died at 10:00 p.m.
Tuesday. He was 80. In a lifetime in the Fox River Valley.
September 16, 1976
As the closing seconds
ticked off, Kurt Coenen booted a 27-yard field goal to give the Kaukauna
Raiders a 3-0 victory over the always tough Neenah-Menasha 1,000 Yarders
Saturday night at Doty Bayorgeon Field. The winning kick hit the cross bar,
came down--hit the cross bar again and fortunately for the Raiders bounced
through the uprights.
September 21, 1976
For the third time in
four years the Kaukauna Ghost golf team captured first place in the Kaukauna
Invitational tournament Saturday at High Cliff.
Jim Eifler Mark Van Abel
Senior Jim Eifler led
the team and finished third individually with a fine round of 77, but the real
surprise was Mark Van Abel, another senior, who shot a 78 playing in only his
third varsity match of the year.
September 23, 1976
Three penalties
following a fumble led to the only score of the game as the Little Chute Jets
blanked the Kaukauna Raiders 6-0, stopping a streak of 26 straight Raider wins
over the last three seasons.
Clarence Baumgartner
won the annual Senior Tournament at the Fox Valley links last week-end, scoring
a net 60 in the 18-hole handicap competition.
Shirley Heesakker won
the ladies' senior trophy with a net 68 and Rita Boyd won the super senior
competition.
September 28, 1976
A condition which has
existed since the turn of the century, a "sliding" north Fox Riverbank,
may delay the beginning of excavation on the Heart of the Valley Metropolitan
Sewerage District interceptor sewer in the river. Though the slope has been
described as slipping for many years, the problem has intensified with the
addition of fill matter more recently. Blasting, it is felt, may aggravate the
situation, and cause more serious slippage.
The Soldier's Memorial
along Lawe St. will stay--still in the same location, even when Taylor St. is
extended through the present parkland to link up with Catherine St. City
engineer Kenneth Schoenike has prepared new plans, calling for the relocation
of sidewalks near the statue, rather than the statue itself.
Julie Young Vicki Biese
The Ghost girls,
running in their first meet ever as a team, placed sixth in the 10-team field
with 193 points and the Ghost JVs were 10th out of 16 with 213 points. Julie
Young ran the two-mile course in 13:27 and finished 24th while teammate Vicki
Biese was 25th in 13:29 to pace the Ghostettes runners.
September 30, 1976
Lt. Governor Martin J.
Schreiber will
be the featured speaker at today's dedication of a plaque commemorating the
sale in 1793 of the first land in Wisconsin. The Bicentennial event will take
place at the Badger-Northland Corp. property on Delanglade St. and highway OO.
A highlight of the program will be the release of a cloud of balloons from the
site. Subsequent to Ducharme's acceptance of the deed, it was ratified in 1796.
The deed was registered in Brown County in December 1828.
