The Whitewater Whippet Volleyball team became Regional Champs on Saturday, April 10th. In the Regional Semi-Finals the Whippets took care of Jefferson when they defeated the Eagles 3-0 by the scores of 25-8, 25-8, and 25-17.
Senior Cora Linos collected her 2,000th assist early in the match. Fortunately, we had the opportunity to take a time out so the team could celebrate her hitting this milestone. Cora will go down in the Whippet record books as one of the all-time best setters the program has ever had.
After the win, the Whippets went to a large group room in the high school to refuel, rehydrate, and watch the second regional final between Big Foot and Fort Atkinson. Fort defeated Big Foot 3 games straight also.
In the third match of the day, Whitewater battled a very strong Fort Atkinson team for the Regional Title. The games were very close, but ultimately it came down to serving and defense. Whitewater’s sophomore defensive specialist Cali Kopecky came up big in both those areas for the Whippets. She served 100% on 17 attempts and had 2 serving aces. Cali had 7 crucial digs during the match. Her growth this season has been amazing and is a huge part of the team’s success.
Whitewater is awaiting the results of other regional matches to see who they will play and when. Whitewater does know they will travel to Oshkosh West on Tuesday, April 13, to play in the Sectional Semi-Final. The Sectional Final will also be played that night. (Playoff Bracket)
I would like to send a heartfelt Thank You to all the fans who were able to attend the game and to all who watched the live stream. The support is greatly appreciated.

Memory loss that disrupts daily life may be a symptom of Alzheimer’s or other dementia. Alzheimer’s is a brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. There are 10 warning signs and symptoms. If you notice any of them, don’t ignore them. Schedule an appointment with your doctor.
- Memory loss that disrupts daily life
One of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s disease, especially in the early stage, is forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events, asking for the same questions over and over, and increasingly needing to rely on memory aids (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own.
What’s a typical age-related change?
Sometimes forgetting names or appointments, but remembering them later. - Challenges in planning or solving problems
Some people living with dementia may experience changes in their ability to develop and follow a plan or work with numbers. They may have trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. They may have difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they did before.
What’s a typical age-related change?
Making occasional errors when managing finances or household bills. - Difficulty completing familiar tasks
People with Alzheimer’s often find it hard to complete daily tasks. Sometimes they may have trouble driving to a familiar location, organizing a grocery list or remembering the rules of a favorite game.
What’s a typical age-related change?
Occasionally needing help to use microwave settings or to record a TV show. - Confusion with time or place
People living with Alzheimer’s can lose track of dates, seasons and the passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if it is not happening immediately. Sometimes they may forget where they are or how they got there.
What’s a typical age-related change?
Getting confused about the day of the week but figuring it out later. - Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships
For some people, having vision problems is a sign of Alzheimer’s. This may lead to difficulty with balance or trouble reading. They may also have problems judging distance and determining color or contrast, causing issues with driving.
What’s a typical age-related change?
Vision changes related to cataracts.
- New problems with words in speaking or writing
People living with Alzheimer’s may have trouble following or joining a conversation. They may stop in the middle of a conversation and have no idea how to continue or they may repeat themselves. They may struggle with vocabulary, have trouble naming a familiar object or use the wrong name (e.g., calling a “watch” a “hand-clock”).
What’s a typical age-related change?
Sometimes having trouble finding the right word. - Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps
A person living with Alzheimer’s disease may put things in unusual places. They may lose things and be unable to go back over their steps to find them again. He or she may accuse others of stealing, especially as the disease progresses.
What’s a typical age-related change?
Misplacing things from time to time and retracing steps to find them. - Decreased or poor judgment
Individuals may experience changes in judgment or decision-making. For example, they may use poor judgment when dealing with money or pay less attention to grooming or keeping themselves clean.
What’s a typical age-related change?
Making a bad decision or mistake once in a while, like neglecting to change the oil in the car. - Withdrawal from work or social activities
A person living with Alzheimer’s disease may experience changes in the ability to hold or follow a conversation. As a result, he or she may withdraw from hobbies, social activities or other engagements. They may have trouble
keeping up with a favorite team or activity.
What’s a typical age-related change?
Sometimes feeling uninterested in family or social obligations. - Changes in mood and personality
Individuals living with Alzheimer’s may experience mood and personality changes. They can become confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful or anxious. They may be easily upset at home, with friends or when out of their
comfort zone.
What’s a typical age-related change?
Developing very specific ways of doing things and becoming irritable when a routine is disrupted.
Get checked. Early detection matters.
If you notice one or more signs in yourself or another person, it can be difficult to know what to do. It’s natural to feel uncertain or nervous about discussing these changes with others. Voicing worries about your own health might make them seem more “real.” Or, you may fear upsetting someone by sharing observations about changes in his or her abilities or behavior. However, these are significant health concerns that should be evaluated by a doctor, and it’s important to take action to figure out what’s going on.

The Thursday, April 8 Whitewater Common Council meeting that was moved because of the previous Tuesday’s election resulted in final clarification of an ordinance on smoking in city parks and the announcement that the City is scheduled to receive $1.48 million of federal assistance as stipulated in the recently passed American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP). The meeting also included recognition of long-time council member Patrick Singer for his 14 years of service.
The issue of smoking in city parks has been confusing to citizens and even some council members for several years. The final resolution of the issue, which was almost not achieved due to one council member’s objections, will focus only on air-quality and health issues within 20 feet of a playground, skate park, or bleacher area as opposed to an earlier ordinance that applied to all city parks.
The issue of the $1.48 million dollars of additional federal funding came in a report from City Manager Cameron Clapper. HR 1319, or the ARP as it is known, was signed into law in mid-March. With a total authorized spending of $1.9 trillion it includes direct aid and economic stimulus funds for local governments. Reimbursed costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic along with economic stimulus funding for allowable “infrastructure improvements” are included.
ARP funding to cities like Whitewater is designated in “Section M” of the bill. That section includes nearly $220 billion of direct state and local government relief and stimulus funding which represents nearly 12% of the ARP’s total budget. More than half that amount ($130.2 billion) is designated specifically for counties, cities and other governments including the City of Whitewater.
City Manager Clapper’s report to the Common Council, based on information provided by the WI League of Municipalities, indicated the funding will be distributed in two different payments which will later be subject to audit. The first payment is expected to arrive by “mid-year.” The “League” cautioned that the US Treasury Department is still developing and issuing guidance on the 242-page legislation which “is expected take several months to complete.”
Eligible uses and restrictions on usage were highlighted in Clapper’s report. Eligible uses included replacement of lost city revenue attributed to COVID-19, reimbursement of premium pay attributed to the pandemic for essential city worker activities, and the cost of city emergency responses to the health and economic impacts of the pandemic. Investments in water, sewer and broadband infrastructure may also be approved.
Restrictions include the stipulation that funds “cannot be used to directly or indirectly offset tax reductions or delay a new tax or tax increase” and “funds cannot be deposited into any pension fund.”
Clapper cited the negative financial impact to the city-supported Aquatic Center as the best local example of COVID-19 impacts. The facility was closed for a time which impacted revenues and is still operating under a modified schedule and COVID-19 mandated restrictions.
Council member and former multiple-term Council President Patrick Singer was rewarded by a City Proclamation plus praise and applause from council members. He was first elected to the Common Council in April of 2007 and has recently run and been elected as one of the two council members elected by city-wide ballot as opposed to the remaining five who only receive votes from one city ward. Singer declined to run for reelection because of the increasing demands of his young family.

Box Score, Game 2: https://static.uwwsports.com/custompages/baseball/2021/12.htm
The No. 16 ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater baseball team completed its four-game Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference road swing Tuesday afternoon, April 6, with a pair of wins at UW-Oshkosh.
The Warhawks (11-2 overall, 5-1 WIAC) took the first game of the doubleheader 6-5 in 11 innings, and finished the twin bill with a 9-5 triumph in Game 2.
The opener went into extra innings thanks to a late rally by the Titans (6-6, 4-2), who scored three times in the bottom of the eighth and once in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game at 5-5.
Pitcher Connor Moroder left the bases loaded in both the ninth and 10th innings to push the game to the 11th, when shortstop Nick Santoro singled home right fielder Jacob DeMeyer, who doubled down the left field line with two outs.
Moroder (2-0) pitched a 1-2-3 bottom of the frame to secure the win.
Santoro collected two hits, one run scored and two runs batted in, while third baseman Sam Vomhof finished 2-for-5 with two RBIs. First baseman Donovan Brandl and catcher Ryan Norton each registered two hits, and Norton added one walk, one run scored and one RBI.
Starting pitcher Westin Muir struck out nine batters and allowed only one run over six innings. Muir, Ben Muscatello and Moroder combined to strand 14 base runners.
In Game 2, UW-Whitewater tallied three runs in the top of the first on an inside-the-park home run by Santoro and never trailed in the contest.
Pitcher Matt O’Sullivan improved to 4-0, surrendering two runs over seven innings with seven strikeouts. Kade Lancour pitched the eighth, and Brandl pitched around a two-out hit for a scoreless ninth.
DeMeyer reached base four times and totaled two hits, two walks, two runs scored and two RBIs. Brandl and left fielder Matt Korman also plated runs for the Warhawks, who turned three double plays and didn’t commit an error in the game.
UW-Whitewater hosts UW-Oshkosh this Friday at 1 p.m. for a WIAC doubleheader at Prucha Field at James B. Miller Stadium.
| Monday, April 5 at 3:00 pm Displacement, Nostalgia, and Hmong Homeland Politics: Hidden Legacies of America’s Secret War in Laos Nengher Vang, associate professor, History Join us via WebEx: https://uww.webex.com/uww/onstage/g.php?MTID=ee7dddf19ba5b8eee98315f27017ef7bc |
| After the Vietnam War, more than 100,000 Hmong have fled Laos to escape torture and persecution because of their role as America’s secret armies in its Cold War efforts in Laos from the early 1960s to 1975. Today, the United States is home to 300,000 Hmong Americans, 56,000 of whom are in Wisconsin. A conspicuous legacy, perhaps the most obvious, of the secret war in Laos is the resettlement of several hundred thousand Hmong, Lao, and other ethnic minorities as refugees to the United States after the Communist takeover in 1975. This, however, is not the only legacy of this war. In this talk, Dr. Vang will explore other hidden legacies of this war and show how, while most Hmong refugees have accepted America as their new home, many others, who have continued to feel displaced or alienated in America and to long for a return to the homeland, have continued to engage in homeland politics. Their homeland politics, in turn, has kept the fire of the secret war raging and led to a persistent but ultimately contradictory relationship between Hmong Americans and the U.S. government in the past five decades. |

Jacob DeMeyer’s Highlight-Reel Catch (second inning of Game 1)
The No. 16 ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater baseball team extended its win streak to eight games Wednesday with back-to-back victories over UW-La Crosse in a Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference doubleheader at Prucha Field at James B. Miller Stadium.
The Warhawks (8-1 overall, 2-0 WIAC) claimed the opener by a 9-2 score before posting an 8-3 triumph in Game 2.
In Game 1, UW-Whitewater totaled 13 hits offensively and crossed the plate five times in the bottom of the first inning, and pitchers Westin Muir and Connor Spear combined to strand nine Eagle runners. Muir (3-0) scattered eight hits over seven innings, striking out six, and Spear tossed two scoreless innings in relief.
Right fielder Jacob DeMeyer finished 3-for-4 at the plate with one run scored and one run batted in and made a spectacular catch in foul territory to end the top of the second inning. He chased down a pop up near the Warhawk bullpen and, running full speed, crashed into and tumbled over the fence, hanging on for a highlight-reel play and the final out of the frame.
Left fielder Matt Korman tallied two hits and two RBIs, and third baseman Tucker Criswell reached base four times with two hits and two walks while scoring a pair of runs. Centerfielder Zach Campbell and first baseman Donovan Brandl collected two hits apiece.
Brandl, designated hitter Connor Moroder, shortstop Nick Santoro and catcher Ryan Norton also plated runs for UW-Whitewater.
In the nightcap, the UW-La Crosse (5-3, 0-2) took a 2-0 advantage through 2 1/2 innings before the Warhawks plated four runs in the bottom of the third, including a two-run home run by Korman, an RBI groundout by designated hitter Ian Drays and a run-scoring single by second baseman Sam Vomhof.
Vomhof drove home Santoro with another base hit in the bottom of the fifth, and Korman added two more insurance runs with another two-run homer in the bottom of the seventh. In the eighth, third baseman Ben Wilkins plated Vomhof, who tripled to lead off the frame, on a sacrifice fly.
Korman and Vomhof combined for five of UW-Whitewater’s seven hits in the contest.
Matt O’Sullivan didn’t allow a run on the mound after the third, finishing with seven strikeouts in his seven innings pitched to improve to 3-0 on the year. Connor Moroder tossed the eighth and the ninth in relief.
The Warhawks visit UW-La Crosse for two more conference games this Friday starting at 1 p.m.
WHITEWATER, WI (03/31/2021)– Olivia Kraft, a native of Whitewater, WI, and student-athlete at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, was one of seven Warhawks who were named Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Kwik Trip Athletes of the Week for their performances from March 22-28, 2021.
Matt O’Sullivan (Sugar Grove, Ill./Kaneland) of the baseball team is now a three-time WIAC Pitcher of the Week for his career. Paige Nierman (Hawthorn Woods, Ill./Stevenson) and Olivia Kraft (Bloomington, Ill./Normal Community) are each two-time winners of the WIAC Women’s Tennis Athlete of the Week in doubles. Nierman is a first-time honoree in singles.
First-time selections include Dwayne Ford (Racine, Wis./Case), the WIAC Men’s Track Athlete of the Week, Kaleigh O’Brien (Crystal Lake, Ill./Prairie Ridge), the WIAC Softball Position Player of the Week, Kate Cleveland (DePere, Wis./Ashwaubenon), the WIAC Softball Pitcher of the Week, and Morgan McEntire (Indianapolis, Ind./Cathedral), the WIAC Gymnastics Specialist of the Week.
Baseball – Pitcher
Matt O’Sullivan (Sugar Grove, Ill./Kaneland), Senior
O’Sullivan tallied 17 strikeouts, tied for the second-most in one game in program history, and retired the first 13 hitters of the game via strikeout during the Warhawks’ 10-0 victory over Finlandia (Mich.) in seven innings on Friday at Prucha Field at Miller Stadium. He allowed only one hit in the contest, was perfect through 6 1/3 innings and faced the minimum number of batters (21) after UW-Whitewater turned a double play to end the seventh. He induced three groundouts and no flyouts, and did not allow a ball in play until there was one out in the top of the sixth inning. O’Sullivan’s performance helped the 18th-ranked Warhawks complete a 4-0 week.
Gymnastics – Specialist
Morgan McEntire (Indianapolis, Ind./Cathedral), Sophomore
McEntire tied for first on vault with a personal-record score of 9.550 to help UW-Whitewater to a 188.675-187.075 win at UW-La Crosse last Tuesday. Her new vault included a Yurchenko full, which she taught herself over the summer in the middle of the pandemic. Determined to learn the new vault and perform it this year, McEntire worked on the vault with only 20 days of team practice in the fall and over Thanksgiving and Christmas break in a new gym with no coaching due to capacity restrictions at her facility. She won the event Tuesday performing that vault for the first time this year.
Softball – Pitcher
Kate Cleveland (DePere, Wis./Ashwaubenon), Freshman
In three appearances last week, Cleveland posted a 2-0 record with a 0.93 earned run average and five strikeouts to help the Warhawks finish the week with a 6-0 record. She started the week Monday with a complete-game, 3-1 victory over nationally-ranked Carroll, allowing only one run on five hits without a walk. On Sunday, Cleveland allowed only one earned run on five hits and one walk in a complete-game, 8-2 triumph over Wisconsin Lutheran. She added a scoreless inning of relief in UW-Whitewater’s first game of a doubleheader on Saturday against Chicago.
Softball – Position Player
Kaleigh O’Brien (Crystal Lake, Ill./Prairie Ridge), Senior, First Base
O’Brien batted .867 (13-of-15) with four doubles, two home runs, an on-base percentage of .889 and a slugging percentage of 1.533 last week to help the Warhawks to a 6-0 record. She also didn’t commit an error in the field and tallied 55 putouts. In the team’s first game of the week, a 3-1 win over nationally-ranked Carroll on Monday, O’Brien finished 3-for-3 with one double and two runs scored. She finished the doubleheader with two more hits and one run scored in the nightcap. In UW-Whitewater’s doubleheader sweep over Chicago on Saturday, O’Brien finished 6-for-6 at the plate with three doubles, two homers, one walk, two runs scored and four runs batted in. One day later, she registered two more hits in UW-W’s 8-2 victory over Wisconsin Lutheran, and drew two walks and scored a run in the second game of the twin bill, a 17-0 Warhawk win in five innings.
Women’s Tennis – Singles
Paige Nierman (Hawthorn Woods, Ill./Stevenson), Senior, and Olivia Kraft (Bloomington, Ill./Normal Community), Junior
Nierman and Kraft paired for an 8-2 triumph over Mackenzie Novak and Sydney Rott at No. 2 doubles to help the Warhawks to a 5-4 win over Bethel (Minn.) in a dual on Sunday in Eau Claire. The duo’s win was especially timely as UW-Whitewater dropped its other two doubles matches. Nierman and Kraft have combined for a 2-2 record so far this spring.

His time currently leads NCAA Division III by seven-hundredths of a second and topped his previous career best of 10.67 set at the 2019 WIAC Outdoor Championships.
