Wisconsin Rapids clerk devoted her life to running elections. She died on Election Day.

Votebeat is a nonprofit news organization reporting on voting access and election administration across the U.S. Sign up for Votebeat Wisconsin’s free newsletter here . On the evening before Election Day, Wisconsin Rapids City Clerk Jennifer Gossick came home from work and told her husband, Lee, that everything was set for the election. For weeks, she had scrupulously overseen the city’s many election tasks, from recruiting poll workers to managing early voting, accounting for all eventualities. But even as she prepared for Election Day, Gossick was dying of cancer she didn’t know she had. Her failing health was clear to those closest to her: She would tire after taking several steps, having to sit and bend at the waist just to get a clear breath. But Gossick wouldn’t consider — or even discuss — her health until the November election was done, she told her husband. She collapsed the morning of Election Day at her home. She died that afternoon at a local hospital. “She worked every day up until the election to make sure they would run meticulously, and then her body gave out,” Wisconsin Rapids Mayor Matt Zacher said, calling it a “dedication to the integrity of elections

Amherst football embraces challenge vs Darlington: 'We're not surprised'

AMHERST – Amherst has spent the 2026 season knocking off all challengers in its unbeaten campaign and building toward this moment. But to keep its undefeated run alive, the Falcons will have to solve a Darlington team that hasn't lost in 26 games and brings one of the state's most explosive offenses into Friday's Level 3 playoff matchup. The mission is complicatedly simple. “We've got to somehow slow them down. That's the biggest thing,” Amherst coach Mark Lusic said. “They have a very explosive offense. I mean, I don't think they've been challenged all year. I don't know, probably for the last two years to be honest with you. "We're going to have to slow down their option. That's the biggest thing. If you don't slow that down, it's going to be a long night. That means they can do anything they want. It's about 50% of their offense. So, try to slow that down, and then go from there." Lusic knows the Level 4 matchup between the Falcons and the Redbirds will be decided up front at the line of scrimmage. He expects a physical Redbird defensive line, and has preached their need to match it. “They want to

Stevens Point's Kennedy Konkol brings 'fresh energy' to SPASH hoops

STEVENS POINT – A 17-point-per-game freshman season gave Kennedy Konkol a strong start to her high school basketball career and Division 1 aspirations. Her next chapter begins at Stevens Point, where she's looking to grow alongside a new group of standout teammates in University of Iowa commit Jada Seubert and rising Leah Awe, under former WNBA No. 1 pick, SPASH coach Janel McCarville. Konkol, a 2025 first team all-conference selection in the Wisconsin Valley Conference, said while she will miss Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln and her teammates, that was the entire point of the move. As the season inches closer to its inception, Konkol feels she is adjusting well to the switch and seeing how her goals both big and small lie ahead. “I was very nervous at first, to be honest, but now that I've kind of been here for a little bit and made some friends and had open gyms, it's been a lot better,” Konkol said. “I feel pretty good. I really like how the atmosphere is and the players that I'm with. I feel like it's very energetic and welcoming. I feel like I can push myself.” Amherst embraces challenge Vs Redbirds: Amherst football embraces challenge vs
