WESTconsin Credit Union CEO Jim Wookey to Retire in 2027 After 32 Years

Few careers are as rare as one that starts at a loan desk and ends in the corner office of the same institution. Jim Wookey, CEO of WESTconsin Credit Union, plans to retire later in 2027, closing out more than thirty-two years of service to the credit union’s members and communities. Think of it as the financial-services version of a lifer in a small-town diner who ends up owning the place, minus the apron.

Lasiowski captures Stout's first women’s WIAC cross country title

MENOMONIE — On Halloween afternoon, UW-Stout Polytechnic senior Claudia Lasiowski wanted to do something scary. The Park Falls native made it a goal this cross country season to push herself to the next level, the next bar, the next limit. Pushing oneself so often makes people feel uncomfortable, full of angst or even scared. Lasiowski doesn’t see it that way, at least anymore. “It’s taken a long time to get to that point,” Lasiowski said. “I did some mental coaching last season that I thought was super helpful, like, ‘This is who I am outside of running, and this is what I would have even without running.’ I think when you’re not putting everything on the line every race, it’s so much easier to race with confidence and excitement for what’s to come.” What came next for Lasiowski was a career and school first on Saturday, as she became the first Blue Devil woman to win the WIAC individual cross country title, doing so in record-setting and ever-so-close fashion at UW-Whitewater. “It felt unreal,” Lasiowski said. “It was cool to be the underdog and have no one expect you to do that. I mean, I don’t even know if I

Barron volleyball ends season at Division 2 state semifinals

GREEN BAY — The Barron volleyball team had its season come to a close Friday, as the No. 3 Golden Bears fell in four sets 27-25, 23-25, 25-21, 25-23 to No. 2 Kettle Moraine Lutheran in the Division 2 state semifinals at the Resch Center. It was the Golden Bears’ 10th overall state appearance. They looked for their second state championship in three years after winning the Division 3 title in 2024. “It was a great match overall,” Golden Bears coach Brooke Halverson said. “It's hard to put into words. Kettle Moraine’s a great team. We couldn't really just plan for one of their hitters; they just had great hitters across the board. So that really kept our blockers on our toes and trying to read where the set was going. “I'm so proud of our girls. We battled last week in the sectional final, and that really was the match that showed our true heart, our true grit, our true determination. Like I told them out on the court, I said ‘This doesn't define our team, our passion, our determination, our grit, our season.’” Senior outside hitter Alexis Halverson led the Golden Bears attack with 26 kills to go
