The Marinette County Sheriff’s Office would like to give a heartfelt thank you to Norman and Carolyn Hoefert for their generous donation of $20,000, with $10,000 allocated to the Marinette County K9 Unit and $10,000 allocated to the Marinette County Drone Unit.

On Oct. 8, 2024, multiple aerial and drone units, K9, mounted horse teams, firefighters and motorized search teams were deployed in attempts to locate Norman, who had gone missing while out on a walk. Along with several volunteers, multiple grid searches were completed over the course of a few days, covering a vast area. This search involved hundreds of dedicated individuals looking to help find him, and on Oct. 11, 2024, Norman was found alive.

Norman and Carolyn’s son, Dan, gave a recap presentation of the events leading up to Norman being found, and it meant a lot to the deputies to be able to spend some time visiting with Norman today.

Plumbers & Steamfitters UA Local 400 and Miller Electric recently donated a new Miller electric welder to the technical education department at Crivitz High School.

This donation was facilitated in part by UA Local 400 Recruitment Coordinator Nick Johnsen. Johnsen graduated from Crivitz and moved back to the area after serving in the military. He explained that he was “trying to do good for the local community” through this donation.

Students heard from UA Local 400 members about the options they have in the trades after high school. They also told students that grades and attendance in high school are important and discussed the increase in women in the trades, which they have an event highlighting in February.

Pictured with the new Miller welder are students Griffen Christiansen, Landon Thoma, Carter Franzmeier, Nathaniel Morris, Princeton Welty, Adler Wilson, Brody Caylor, Jasmin Hoffman and Amani Robinson (standing, left to right) as well as Pierre Abrams and Phillip Hartline (kneeling, left to right).
