The Delta and Charlie companies of the 432nd Civil Affairs Battalion completed a three-day training exercise, Operation Tiger, last week in Gillett. The operation earned its name because of the school mascot.
The soldiers conducted assessments of the local community from their base at the Oconto County Fairgrounds at Zippel Park.
This past week I took Saturday night off from the Shawano Speedway and left the announcing duties to Cole Daebler.
I still got my racing fix this week by heading to the GSR Kartway just west of Clintonville on U.S. Highway 45.

August is the month that signals the slide of summer into fall, as much as I hate to admit it.
Two of our children got married in this month, as did my brother and his bride of 46 years. I looked at my anniversary gift listing, which notes every single year, and for 46 years it notes “an original poetry tribute.” So I guess I’ll have to compose a fitting tribute, which I’m sure my brother will find “original”!
