WACTE President’s Message

Date to remember!

June 10-12 Summer Conference Sheridan, WY

Another year is drawing near to the end. This seems to be a busy time of year; Skills USA,

Ford/AAA, DECA, FFA, FCCLA, Graduations, Grades, Sports just to mention a few. We are

winding down yet the world keeps winding up. We have meetings on top of meetings. We are

trying to make sure our students graduate. We are trying to prepare for the various competi-

tions that are so important to us. We are trying to figure out how we are going to get every-

thing taught.

On top of all these activities it seems like this is also the time of year we are all coming down

sick. The school nurse keeps telling me wash your hands and wash often. I still got pneumo-

nia, along with several others here at CCHS. Flu and allergies are running their course all

over the state.

We have some of our CTE instructors talking about retiring. Who will fill their shoes? We

have family things going on or summer jobs. I know some of us have summer activities

planned also. Please do not forget our summer conference. I think it will be a great time in

Sheridan.

Janine and Josh have been working in Sheridan to get things ready. The board has been

figuring out the big details. Some divisions have pre-conference as well as post-conference

activities. Be sure and get on line, fill out the registration form, and get it sent in. We have

worked hard to make the form as user friendly as possible. If you have questions contact

your division officers, Krista WACTE Executive Secretary, Toni, or me. Here are the web sites

to get the registrations form: www.wacte.net or www.facebook.com/WACTE. Early bird regis-

tration deadline for Summer Conference is May 15.

Please think about getting involved as I have previously stated in my other letters. We can all

sit back and let others do the work. Things are not going to keep going unless we have peo-

ple willing to work. We have been approached my delegates from Cheyenne for summer con-

ference 2015. We still need to be working on 2016 and 2017. If you would like to have the

summer conference in your community get a proposal made and have it ready for the board

meeting in Sheridan.

Hope to see you in Sheridan healthy and ready to have some fun!

Blazing Buffalo SkillsUSA

An active career has always been in Joe Kreilich’s future. The 19-year

-old Buffalo High School senior splits his time between school,

training in the U.S. Army National Guard and learning the tricks of the

trade from the Buffalo Volunteer Fire Department.

Kreilich recently took gold at the SkillsUSA State Competition in

Casper, an impressive feat for the first-timer who says he’s good at

“winging it.”

While others in the BHS group were busy drafting or setting

up photography studios for their assessment at the competition,

Kreilich was being timed as he crawled up stairs on his hands and

feet in a dark maze.

“It was set up like a two-story complex, and it was

completely dark,” he said. “We had to go in and do a left-hand/right-

hand search, which is where you keep one hand against the wall as

you find your way through the dark room, and we had to find a

basketball and retrieve it. I was a little nervous just because I didn’t

know what to expect. I had to go up and down stairs in the dark; every

now and then they’d open a door for a crack of light, but I was also

using a lot of tools I hadn’t trained with.”

If that wasn’t enough, firefighting participants were also

timed while dragging a 250-pound dummy, connecting and

disconnecting a fire hose to a hydrant and forcing entry on a property.

He was finally awarded the gold after the total of his times in retrieval

(around 12 minutes), skills test and written test results were

combined, earning him a spot at nationals in Kansas in June.

Whereas at the state competition he was competing against

seven others, the next round will see him up against up to 300 other

high school students in his category.

“It’s difficult because when you’re at that level, everyone

can do the same thing. It’s just about showing the judges you can do

the same stuff as everyone else but better,” he said. “We’ve been

given a bit of heads up on what to expect, but I’ll just keep training

and learning my stuff and see how I go.”

Though a newcomer to the SkillsUSA competition, physical

endurance and being under pressure have never worried Kreilich.

The former Californian comes from a long line of military personnel,

and the skills he’s developed through fire training will only work to

further his dedication to service.

“It’s a family tradition that dates back to the Revolutionary

War,” he explained. “Right now, I have one cousin who has served in

Iraq and Afghanistan and two cousins in the Navy, and I’ve been in

the National Guard myself for about a year and a half.”

Kreilich is dedicated to his training, driving four hours to and from

Camp Guernsey one weekend each month to keep his skills intact.

After graduating high

school, he plans to complete

intensive personal training at

Fort Sill in Oklahoma.

“When I went to basic

(training), there was definitely a

sense of nervousness because

everyone thinks of drill

sergeants as trying to smack

you up. But when you get there,

they tell you that if you put in

the effort, they’re there to help

you,” he said.

“I’m really looking forward to

deployment, though. If I’m

dropped into the middle of a

war zone, of course, I’m

expecting to see combat and be

confronted by that, but it’s

something I really want to do.

My mom is worried and nervous

and wants me to go to school

and get a degree first, and I

think I’ll work for a while after

school, but it’s better for me if

my first deployment is when I’m

younger and have better skills.”
