Kaukauna Times
By Lyle Hansen - KAHS
December 4, 1975
At the age 24, Tim Cullen is a man on the move
in many more ways than one. Not only does he travel thousands of miles each
year on United States Hockey League circuit as a member of the Green Bay
Bobcats, but he also communicates some 45 miles round trip each day from his
home in Green Bay to teach at Holy Cross grade school in Kaukauna.
A $44,494 cut from the city's 1976 budget the
previous night was the final reduction approved Tuesday by Kaukauna common
council.
A lightning storm passed through the city
Saturday night, one bolt striking City Hall another struck the Northside power
lines. The strike at City Hall damaged the police department’s communications
system, which was off for the rest of the day. Lightning strikes in the early
winter thunderstorms that hit the area have caused problems for Kaukauna
electric water utility general manager Ernest Mullins reported.
Nick Horn, Kaukauna,
took this five-pointer weighing in at 125 lbs. This is his first buck.
Joe Hennes, 13 years old, Kaukauna, bagged an 8-point, 170-pound buck on the opening day of the 1975 deer season.

Antique items valued at more than $1000 have
been reported taken from the home of Carlton Schmidt, Hillcrest Drive. Dennis
Hajenga of Tobacnoir street also reported a theft form his car including a
power drill and a Mossberg 20 ga. Shotgun. Police have apprehended a
14-year-old youth in the act of breaking into cars. He has been referred to
juvenile authorities.

The city of Kaukauna has appealed a court
decision granting a retired assistant Fire Chief back pay amounting to $426, City
attorney Donald Green said today. The appeal seeks to overturn a November
decision granting former assistant chief Wilbur Kobussen back pay plus cost and
interest.

Mike Roberts won the only individual championship
for the ghost at 105, pinning all three opponents in the process. He has now
won 8, last one and tied one and leads the team in pins with six.
With Christmas in the air, pupils at the Little
Chute elementary school are learning the true meaning of the holiday season,
for in place of buying gifts for their teachers, they are bringing a gift to a
resident at Parkside Manor nursing home, Little Chute.
Twenty members of the KHS concert choir
recently performed at the Thilmany Management Club Christmas party.
A pair of automobile crashes over the weekend
claimed the lives of three residents, including men from Kaukauna and a
Kimberly resident. Donald Volkman, 30, Ann St. was almost instantly killed
Sunday afternoon in an accident near Potato Point on Hwy. 96 one mile east of
Appleton. On Saturday a 2-car crash resulted in a fatal internal injury to
David Tessen, 27, of Kaukauna and Michael D. Schultz 22, Helen St. Kimberly
when their car was struck by a second one on Hwy. JJ and county E north of
Appleton.
Dan De Koch of Kaukauna
works with one of his Falcons at Fall Family Nite held at the Immanuel United
Church of Christ. De Koch is a wildlife artist displaying some of his original
paintings at the event.

The nation's symbolic bird continues to suffer
at the hands of man. Four bald eagles were shot in Wisconsin this fall
according to wildlife ecology students. Of the four that were shot was an adult
and three were immature. The dead three young birds, represent 3% of the
state’s young eagle population. There are about 200 eagles in northern
Wisconsin- 60 pairs nest and produce around 100 young a year.
City officials approved a wage increase of 8%
for most affected and appointed city officials in a recommendation from the
financial and personnel committee. A salary increase for the mayor would jump
from this year's $13,500 to $16,000 in 1976 and to $17,000 and 1977.
Hussle, aggressive team defense, and crisp ball
movement, three ingredients missing in the last four outings, and were key in Kaukauna’s
78 to 53 romp over Oshkosh North Tuesday evening. The triumph was important not
only because it snapped a 4-game losing streak but provided the Ghost first FVA
win of the season.
December 23, 1975
A Wautoma man had a wild ride Thursday night
when his car collided with a number of objects in a two-block area, including a
school merry-go-round. Police said the 35-year-old man was found unconscious in
his vehicle after the accident. He was southbound on Lawe St., when his car
went into the northbound lane, over the curb and struck a tree. The vehicle
then returned to the road, passed through the intersection of Division and Lawe
streets and through gas station ramp. The car then continued across Brothers
St. to the Park School playground, colliding with the merry-go-round. He was
taken to Kaukauna Community hospital treated for head injuries and released the
next day.
