Governor Scott Walker made a stop in Rhinelander last Thursday, touring Advanced Barrier Extrusions, owned by Tony Haug, Steve Pawelko and Kevin Kopplin. This plastic plant makes food grade plastics and employs about 31 workers. The governor took a tour of the plant and answered questions about the upcoming recall election and job growth in the state. He also noted he was happy to be endorsed by the NRA, and believes people should have the right to protect their families and enjoy the benefits of the great hunting heritage Wisconsin is known for. “I want to move past these recall elections and continue to move the state forward,” he said. During the tour the Governor stopped to chat with Jesse Urquhart, who has worked at the plant for five years and is a cast lead operator.

Northwoods high school students compete in Nicolet College welding competition - Fifteen students from area high schools recently competed in Nicolet College’s High School Welding Competition Finals. While the annual event at Nicolet gave students the chance to sharpen and show off their welding skills, it also did much more than that, said Susan Kordula, director of Admissions and PK-16 Pathways at Nicolet. “It also gives them the added opportunity to further explore welding as a possible career and by having the event at Nicolet, they also get a taste of what a college campus is like,” Kordula said. “For many of these students, this is the first time they’ve had the opportunity to visit Nicolet.” Qualifying rounds were held in March, with students tested on welding and math skills. The top 15 students, their instructors and competition judges are pictured here. They include, first row, left to right, Dave Stofflet, judge from Oldenburg Lakeshore, Josh Fuller, Northland Pines instructor, Travis Goeks, Elcho instructor; Cody Rustick and Kristine Irish, both from Elcho; Ben Pitlik, Patrick Levandoski, Emerson Hegeman, Ian Stenback, and instructor Mike Gorney, all from Three Lakes; David Denis, judge from NorthStar Steel; and Warren Krause, Nicolet College Welding Instructor. Participants in the back row, left to right, include, Jason Bondioli, judge from Daigle Brothers; Wyler Haynes and Brandon Hunt from Northland Pines; Andrew Fortier, Michael Peter, TJ Foress, and instructor Adam Shmidt, all from Rhinelander; Cody Bandoch, Wyatt Haenel, instructor Bruce Bradley, Dylan Myers, Sawyer Jones, and Dan Keehn, all from Tomahawk. Dylan Myers from Tomahawk placed first in the competition, followed by Cody Rustick of Elcho in second place and Cody Bandoch of Tomahawk in third place. All students received prizes for making it to the finals. These prizes were donated by numerous area companies that included Oldenburg-Lakeshore Group, Daigle Brothers Inc., NorthStar Steel, Ace Welding and Supply, Fastenal, AirGas and Airpro Fan.
