Village President John Deschane was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin and moved to Crivitz with his family in 1960. He graduated from Crivitz High School and recently retired from GCR Tire Centers, a division of the Bridgestone Corporation, as a manager of the Marinette store. He is a member of Grace Lutheran Church in Crivitz. His wife Candy, a native of Crivitz, recently retired from the position of Director of Special Education for the Crivitz School District. The couple has three grown children and six grandchildren.
John has enjoyed community involvement beyond village politics, having been a member of the village fire department, American Legion, and church council, as well as a founding member of the Crivitz Area Library and Crivitz Business Association. In his spare time he enjoys reading, woodworking and spending time with his grandchildren.
John was appointed as a village trustee to fill the unexpired term of his son Jared in 2000 and took over as Village President in December 2004, following in his father’s, Carlton Deschane, footsteps. John's current term expires in April, 2009. John had been previously elected as treasurer of the Village and served on its first village board when the village was incorporated in 1976.
As village president, John would like to see an increase in the community tax base, development of community parks, and economic redevelopment of the downtown area. Long range planning includes preparations to capitalize on the impact the Tommy Thompson State Park will have on the community.
John’ s guiding principle as Village President is “Crivitz is a wonderful place to live and raise children. As a village board, we need to make sure that Crivitz continues to be that type of a place”.
