In recognition of Pride month this June, several local organizations have planned a variety of events in Rock County to celebrate. From an LGBTQ+ comedy show to a day with games and food in the park for the entire family, the events run throughout the month of June.

Amanda Pellizzi appointed to KANDU Board

of Directors

Prent Corporation VP of human resources joins community leaders

KANDU Industries Inc., a Janesville-based non-profit organization that provides programs and services to people with disabilities and disadvantages, welcomes Amanda Pellizzi to its board of directors. Pellizzi is the VP of human resources at Prent Corporation, the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of custom thermoform packaging for the medical, electronics and consumer industries.

Pellizzi is a 2005 graduate of UW-Whitewater with a degree in human resource management. Pellizzi graduated from the Leadership Development Academy of Rock County in 2019, an organization that provides personal and professional development opportunities for aspiring community leaders.

“I learned about KANDU through their Return-to-Work program, which has been a great resource for Prent when we have an employee who needs specialized support due to temporary physical restrictions we cannot accommodate in our facility. Recently, I had the opportunity to meet KANDU’s Executive Director Kathy Hansen and learn more about how other KANDU programs impact our community and I knew I wanted to be more involved,” said Pellizzi.

“We are excited to welcome Amanda and look forward to the contributions she will make as a member of KANDU’s board of directors,” said Board President Joel Chappelle. “Amanda brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to KANDU, and we are confident that her passion and expertise

will help us continue to fulfill our mission to provide premier programming and services to people with disabilities in Rock County.”

Pellizzi joined KANDU’s board as the non-profit was preparing to announce its recent purchase of the 110,000 sq. ft. Blackhawk Technical College Advanced Manufacturing Training facility in Milton, Wis. KANDU purchased the facility as part of its strategic plan to serve more community members with disabilities and to provide a better work/life experience for its existing 200 clients. Pellizzi will join other board members in guiding the organization as it embarks on the next chapter of its 60 years of service to the Rock County community.

KANDU Industries is a 501(c)(3) organization serving Rock County that provides opportunities to people with disabilities and disadvantages. For more than 60 years, these work, social, and daily activities enable KANDU clients to achieve their maximum potential and enjoy the dignity of being productive citizens. Today, KANDU impacts the lives of over 200 clients along with a staff of over 100, and partners with a number of community and governmental agencies to ensure that individual choice and personal development are nurtured in the work environment as well as in other aspects of life.

Obituary

DWIGHT ZETTLE

Dwight Zettle, age 85 of Brodhead, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, May 26, 2023.

Dwight was born on Sept. 30, 1937 to Clinton Sr. and Pearl (Zettle) Zettle in Sylvester township, Green County. He attended school in several country schools, lastly being Juda. He quit school his sophomore year to help on the family farm. Dwight married Rosella Rufer, the love of his life, on June 12, 1959. They farmed for many years while raising their family. He worked for Dunwiddee Trucking while farming until they sold their cows and farm equipment in 1977. He then went to work for Rufer and Son Excavating for 32 years before retiring. Dwight was a member of the UCC Church in Brodhead.

Dwight is survived by his wife of 63 years, Rosella; three children, Lynn (Tim) Arnsmeier of Beloit, Douglas (Laura) Zettle of Brodhead and Michelle (Bradley) Bruegger of Dodgeville; a sister, Kar-

Stephanie Pautsch, Student Speaker: After graduating from Monroe High School in 2019, Stephanie enrolled in Blackhawk’s Early Childhood Education program with the dream of becoming a teacher. Her decision to attend Blackhawk was not only to earn a degree, but she knew the experience would better prepare her for life.

Throughout her time at Blackhawk, her instructors have become mentors and her classmates have become friends. In part, she credits her success to her dad who always says “Hard work pays off!”

Stephanie has received honors from the National Society of Leadership and Success, Phi Theta Kappa and The Society for Collegiate Leadership and Achievement.

Stephanie was chosen to be a student speaker because of her dedication and perseverance. After graduation, she will begin her teaching journey as a daycare teacher for children ages 1 and 2.

Kris Corwin, Distinguished Alumni of the Year: Kris Cor-

en (Frank) Schultz

Janesville, and a brother, Clinton Zettle Jr. of Brooklyn.

Dwight has six grandchildren, Aaron (Sarah) Arnsmeier, Alyssa (Jeremy) Davis, Steven (Adrienne) Zettle, Cale Zettle (Carly Benway), Max Bruegger and Gretchen Bruegger and five great-grandchildren, Madelynn Arnsmeier, Drake Davis, Brantley Davis, Ivan Arnsmeier and Wyatt Zettle.

Dwight dearly loved his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and was so proud of all their accomplishments, from ballets, school musicals, sports events, as he and Rosella would attend as many as they could over the years or just sitting with the kids and listening to their stories. Dwight was a big man with a strong voice but his heart overflowed with love for his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

win, the Trauma Program Coordinator at Mercyhealth Rock County, is the recipient of Blackhawk’s Distinguished Alumni Award, which honors an outstanding Blackhawk graduate who has demonstrated the value of a technical college education through career accomplishments, community service, continued personal and educational growth, and support of the technical college system.

Kris received an Associate’s Degree in Nursing from Blackhawk in 1991. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Viterbo University in La Crosse in 2004 and a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2006. She also holds multiple certifications, including Trauma Certified Registered Nurse, Certified Emergency Nurse and Certified Pediatric Emergency Nurse.

Kris had worked in the pediatric unit and the emergency department before becoming the Trauma Program Coordinator. Her career path as a nurse and her community involvement demonstrates how her Blackhawk education provided a foundation to not only succeed but also make a difference.

His family was his world, and if one or several stopped by would be the highlight of his day.

Dwight enjoyed driving his John Deere Gator about town, stopping to talk to friends along the way. He was a collector of farm toy equipment and tractors with emphasis on John Deere. He loved watching and feeding the birds and tending to his flowers and gardens. He was preceded in death by his parents, Clinton and Pearl Zettle; foster brother, Wayne Zettle; a brother, Ivan Zettle in infancy; a brother and sisterin-law, Delmar and Virginia Zettle and a granddaughter, Emma Pearl Bruegger.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be directed to the family in Dwight’s memory.

new recruits graduate from Blackhawk’s Law Enforcement Recruit Academy

Blackhawk Technical College held a special ceremony May 19 to recognize the efforts of 18 students who completed training through the college’s Law Enforcement Recruit Academy.

This was the 90th class to graduate from the academy, which provides the basic law enforcement training required to become a law enforcement officer in Wisconsin.

“Be prepared and willing to learn more. And this isn’t just at the beginning of your career – but your entire career,” Troy Egger, Academy Director, said to the graduates.

Riley Bendorf, class speaker, said the academy has created lasting friendships.

“I knew it would be and will be a lot of work to enter this field, and thankfully, I’ve had the support of my classmates along the way,” said Bendorf, who is a 2016 Parker High School graduate and earned his Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.

Lt. Richard LeFeber, retired from the Beloit Police Department, received the Instructor of Excellence Award from the graduates, and Chief Deputy Craig Strouse of the Rock County Sheriff’s Office was the keynote speaker.

Three students also were recognized for four different awards of excellence:

• Academic Achievement Award: Dominic Ehrke, Wautoma Police Department

This award is given to the student with the highest achievement for each of the three end-of-phase tests. The class had a 90 percent average. Erhke had about 96 percent.

• Outstanding Physical Fitness Award: Riley Bendorf, Rock County Sheriff’s Office

To graduate, each student has to pass a physical readiness test. This award is given to the student who demonstrated outstanding physical fitness and also showed the most effort in the 32 hours of physical fitness throughout the past 18 weeks.

• Ryan Copeland Marksmanship Award Recipient: Kenneth Gigstead IV, City of Beloit Police Department

This award is named after Officer Ryan Copeland, a 2013 academy graduate who was killed in an on-duty traffic crash in 2015 and is given to a student who is ranked top in his class for marksmanship.
