By Sara QuamAs of Tuesday afternoon, Rock County Relay for Life totals came in at $87,000 — more than double the goal of $40,000.Chairman Glenda Schomacker said the results were outstanding, even though she expected to break the goal.People who planned and worked for Relay for Life will never forget this year’s event.Scheduled for Friday, it was put off until Saturday because of rain and high winds. So, as the storm approached, people gathered in shelters and loaded up luminaries and silent auction items in a hurry.Relay for Life usually goes on, rain or shine, but Rock County Emergency Management Director Kyle Oldre and Sheriff Mike Winkels said the park had to be cleared of people because of lightning and wind dangers.Vivian Holst handles the registration and financials for Relay for Life. "If the weather would have held out I think it might have been even better," Holst said about funds. "But all in all, it was magnificent."Co-chair Paul Pietz, who is also the chairman of corporate sponsorship, said, "The Rock County American Cancer Society Relay for Life Committee would like to thank the businesses and citizens of Rock County for making 2006 Relay for Life our most successful event ever."A standout fund-raiser was Tom Comsudes. He is from Georgia but has business ties to Rock County through Main Street Financial. He started walking Wednesday and put in 100 miles, raising a total of $17,470, including business and private sponsorships of his walking. Schomacker is a cancer survivor. "The weather Friday and the rain is sort of like what it’s like to have cancer and go through treatment," she said. "The day starts OK and then it gets rocky then dark and stormy, but it settles down and is OK for a while and so it goes."After the stress and hassles of postponing the Relay, Schomacker said she was surprised at how well the event went.Because some teams or individuals had other plans for Saturday, the turnout was slightly lower than it would have been Friday.But, Schomacker said, "I was more relaxed Saturday than I’ve ever been. We had to wing a few things, but it was good. … Our community does some awesome things."There were a few new teams Schomacker was particularly happy to see there.Jerry Klosterbuer is going through cancer treatment now, and his family quickly formed a team and raised money in a short amount of time for Relay for Life.Also, Schomacker said the teachers’ team was a new addition to the effort."There was a group of high schoolers who really made my heart feel good that they made a team," Schomacker said.
