Obituaries Mary Ann Malinowski, age 24 of Mauston; and Helen Ziemba, age 91 of Stanley Stanley-Boyd Students Heading to FCCLA Nationals in Orlando Eight Stanley-Boyd stu – dents have advanced to the National level in the FCCLA STAR Event Competition. These students competed at the regional level in February of this year. To advance to the State level they needed to re – ceive a score of 85 of higher. Once at the State, which was in April in Wisconsin Dells, competitors had to receive the top scores out of their catego – ries to advance to nationals. Ali Holub and Laura Bauer com – peted in Promote and Publicize where they chose to promote FCCLA in the middle school and high school and publicize FCCLA around the commu – nity. Alise Fitzsimmons and Shantel Hartzell competed in Chapter Showcase Manual where they created a scrapbook on what our FCCLA chapter did throughout the year. Halie Milas and Jared Ciokiewicz competed in Chapter Service Project where they put on an exercise program, called NFL Play 60, for elementary stu – dents. Brittney Klapperich and Shasta Fleming compet – ed in Illustrated Talk where they talked about the problem of bullying to elementary and middle school students. All of the students then presented their projects to three judges at the STAR Event competitions at the regional and state level.

The FCCLA National Lead – ership Conference will be held in Orlando, Florida on July 7th – 12th. Besides competing in the competition, students will be having fun in the sun at Co – coa Beach, enjoying rides at Universal Studios, and getting soaked by Shamu at Sea World. We hope these students will have fun on their trip to Florida and good luck at Nationals!

Obituary: Joyce Holub, 1935 – 2002 30 years ago July 2, 1992 Pastor Brent Milas and fam – ily come to Stanley to serve at Trinity Christian Fellowship, Fourth and Emery At Boyd: Lotz Park Benefits from Boyd Civic Group Proj – ects The facilities at Boy's Lotz Park have seen a lot of im – provements recently.

And the Boyd Lion's Club can take credit for two of them. A third addition to the park was completed through the cooperation of the Village, the new Boyd Volleyball League, S-B Young Women and Crane Lumber.

A Walk-In Cooler Project for the concession stand near the ballpark was chaired by Lions Duane Kowalczyk, Bob Eslinger, and Greg Hellend.

The cooler was built in order to service the food and conces – sion stands at Ringelspiel Days and to service the food stand during softball tournaments. The cooler will replace the refrigerated truck which was used in the past to store food and beverages. It was very dif –

ficult to load and unload prod – ucts from the truck, and many felt it was unsafe to use.

The volleyball courts are the third big improvement to the park…the new Boyd Vol – leyball League paid for these courts with help from the Vil – lage of Boyd, the Stanley-Boyd Young Women's Assn., and Crane Lumber of Chippewa Falls.

70 years ago July 10, 1952 Page Two! History of Peter – son School, District 4, Town of Thorp The Peterson School of Dist. No. 4 is located in the NW ¼ of SW ¼, Section 21 in the Town of Thorp,* Clark County. It is about forty-two miles from Neillsville, the county seat. The area of the district is four and 5/8ths square miles.

At first the town of Thorp and Town of Worden were combined in one township, and in 1894 a division was made. The North Fork school (Eids – vold) was very crowded, due to the large number of families living there. That was one rea – son for organizing Dist. No. 4, known now as Peterson Dis –

trict.

The school was original – ly called the Warden school, in honor of Reuben Warden, who lived next to the school. Because there was a Worden school in the Town of Worden, the two schools were easily confused. Later the Warden school was ocially named Peterson school, in honor of P. A. Peterson, who lived on the former Warden farm.

(more online at Badgerlink) Note: This information was obtained from older residents of the community and com – piled by Dorothy William, the only eighth grade student in Peterson school in 1951 – 52, and was part of her study of the history of Clark County.

Mr. Jenkins was a type of the best class of pioneers. Coming here with – out means…he devoted his energies to his business, and success came as the merited reward of intelligent and perse –

vering eort. Mr. Jenkins' hap – py smile, and his ready helping hand will be greatly missed in the community. His residence among us of many years, en – deared him to the hearts of all. The family will miss him; the individual will miss him; the community will miss him; the Church will miss him.
