By Tammy BrzeczkowskiIn efforts to attain more ex-

posure to the community and surrounding areas of Pulaski, the Tri-County Community Corpo-ration has changed its name to the Pulaski United Foundation (PUF).

The corporation has been in existence since 1942. Original-ly, it was known as the Pulaski Community Fund. The original purpose of the fund was to support the efforts of the American Red Cross, the USO, and other patri-otic World War II activities.

The organization has been ac-credited to lending its resources to a variety of activities throughout Pulaski and surrounding areas in Brown, Shawano, Oconto and Outagamie counties. For example, $5,000 was donated to the “Let There Be Light” projected that helped to illuminate the foot-ball/soccer field at Pulaski High School. On an ongoing basis, the organization assists many organi-zations, businesses and families in need. Currently, their agenda holds the possibility of an amphi-theater existing in Pulaski.

With the name change also brought a new logo, which was designed by a local business, Dynamic Designs. The logo in-corporates open hands to help promote the generosity theme of the organization. The purpose of Pulaski United Foundation is

to enhance the quality of life in Pulaski and surrounding areas by its resources.

“We just really want people to understand that we are here for our local community,” said Board member Tammy Brzeczkowski. “It’s a great way to give to people and organizations that really need help.”

The current PUF Board of Directors consists of these indi-viduals: Tammy Brzeczkowski, Paul Chrisman, Bill Derricks, Vice President Pat Gwidt, Execu-tive Director Mark Heck, Dave Kubiak, Dr. Mel Lightner, Sam McMahon, Andy Van Sickle, Secretary Rick Ripley, and Book-keeper Deb Schneider.

Anyone can make a request to the board of directors at any regular Board meeting by calling Mark Heck at (920) 822-6050. Each year the organization has an annual meeting. This year’s annual meeting is on November 11, 2010.

PUF is looking to expand its membership. Membership dues are only $24 per year, and that also enables you to vote. For more information on how you can help this organization or how you can join, contact Mark Heck at (920) 822-6050. You can also check out the website at www.pulaskipace.org.

By Cassie Zahn Each year, the U.S. Army All-

American Bowl showcases the talents of high school athletes and musicians from all across the country. Few athletes and even fewer musicians receive this pres-tigious honor. One hundred and twenty-five high school band stu-dents are selected to play the half-time show. Selection requires an intricate and grueling audition process that requires weeks and

even months of preparation and practice. Pulaski High School is proud to announce that Leigha Flagstad had been selected from the Pulaski Red Raider Marching Band to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl half-time show. Leigha is the daughter of Lori Graves and Dean Flagstad.

On October 4, representatives from the U.S. Army conducted an honorary ceremony in the Ripley Performing Arts Center at the high school to announce Leigha’s selection. Among those in attendance were members of the VFW, AMVETS, PLAV, and American Legion, as well as a multitude of students and ad-ministration from Pulaski High, news crews, and Leigha’s closest friends and family. After opening comments from Dan Slowey, Co-Principal of Pulaski High School, Leigha was officially announced as a member of the 2011 U.S. Army All-American Marching Band. Leigha graciously thanked the U.S. Army, her parents, her friends, all of the band students who auditioned with her, and Mr.

Leigha Flagstad stands proudly with her parents Dean Flagstad and Lori Graves.

Busch, director of the Red Raider Marching Band.

“It was such a challenge to get here, but I am so excited to work with the best musicians in the country,” said Flagstad.

Flagstad will travel to the Alamo Dome in San Antonio, Texas to play in the 4th annual half-time show of what is the largest high school sporting event in the country. The esteemed high school football bowl will take place on January 8, 2011.

“It is so awesome for Leigha to have the opportunity to go on this trip. We are so proud of how she applied herself to accomplish this; she’s a really hard worker,” said Dean Flagstad, Leigha’s father.

For Leigha to be one of the 125 selected out of the thousands of applicants is an incredible feat, and the Pulaski community could not be more proud that she was one of the few to receive this honor. This accomplishment adds to the Red Raider Marching Band’s already esteemed cred-ibility and continued tradition of

excellence. “I am extremely happy for

Leigha and hope she enjoys this once-in-a-lifetime experience. To be named as a member and perform with the U.S. Army All-American Marching Band is an incredible honor,” said D. Thomas Busch, Director of the Pulaski Red Raider Marching Band.

Congratulations to Leigha on her extraordinary accomplish-ment and the best of luck to her on her performance in San Antonio.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor:On October 2nd we remem-

bered our son Joshua Styczyn-ski’s death (one year ago to the day.) Some of his closest friends from high school came back home and stopped by our home and cemetery gravesite to say a prayer, talk about their year of college, and what Joshua might have been doing. Everyone who stopped by the house really ap-preciated the time spent with us. To the parents of the kids who stopped by, we’d like to say that we really appreciate sharing them sharing their home time with us and we again thank your families.

The real reason I’m writing this letter is to report what hap-pened at our local cemetery. One of the parents left a memory item at Joshua’s gravesite, and it disappeared in less than two and a half hours. I believe that a person who steals from a cem-etery or steals memories from any person’s memorial is one of the lowest persons.

P.S. Thanks to all the good people in the world, it helps lessen the bad.

Sincerely,James Styczynski and family

D. Thomas Busch, Director of the Pulaski Red Raider Marching Band speaks at Leigha’s selection ceremony.

Sue Winter, American Legion Auxiliary President presents Mar-ian Schroeder with a generous check for the support of the Pu-laski area Historical Society and Museum. The society is grateful for their yearly donation.

The tenth annual “Let’s Lick Family Violence” campaign that is sponsored by the Green Bay Diocesan Council of Catholic Women (DCCW) will take place at parishes in the diocese during the month of October.

The project involves women and youth handing out lollipops at designated masses and accepting donations for them. The money is then given to the domestic abuse shelter in the area. Since the cam-paign began in 2001, $131 thousand dollars have been collected, and it has helped to keep 16 abuse shelters in the diocese open and operat-ing. For more information and/or to participate, contact Jackie Walker at (920) 434-1057.

St. John’s youth complete mission trip to Minneapolis

The entire St. John’s mission trip group included Dakota Dunks, Jesse Berg, Alyssa Cooper, Rebecca Deau, Alyssa Warren, Sier-ra Peters, Sami Berg, Amy Spaude, Kaitie Spaude, Colton Giese, Ben Cassel, Brad Wigger, Trish Berg, Ryan Spaude, Cole Krum-rei, Chas Haas, Kendall Brehmer, and Bill Adkins.

Submitted by Amy Spaude, Director of Youth MinistryMinneapolis is a city that will

forever hold a special place in the hearts of 18 members of St. John’s Lutheran Church, Little Suamico. From June 27 to July 2, 15 youth and 3 adult chaperones from St. John’s in Little Suamico traveled to Minneapolis, Minnesota, on the youth group’s annual mission trip. The participants worked through a Christian mission group called Group Work Camps, which pro-vided the housing, food, and as-signments for the work crews. St. John’s was one of five churches at Group Works, among congre-gations from Colorado, Kansas, Michigan, and Minnesota.

Because of the large number of participants attending the Mission Trip, very few participants ever worked with a member from his or her own church. Instead, one or two participants from each church were mixed together along with one adult chaperone to form a crew. There were 13 crews in all. Each crew was then as-signed one to three different work sites for the week. Most crews went to one site for the first two days of the work week and then transferred to another site for the following two days. The par-ticipants from St. John’s were as follows: Sami Berg, Brad Wigger, Alyssa Cooper, Rebecca Deau, Ryan Spaude, Alyssa Warren, Chas Haas, Amy Spaude, Cole Krumrei, Jesse Berg, Bill Adkins,

Kaitie Spaude, Kendall Brehmer, Trish Berg, Colton Giese, Sierra Peters, Ben Cassel, and Dakota Dunks

The crews worked on a variety of sites and projects. Cottage Park, Plymouth School, and Ka-leidoscope Place were centers for disadvantaged kids, while Friend-ship Ventures was a camp for dis-abled adults. Westwood Senior Center was just that, a senior center, and Hidden Treasures was a thrift store. Participants at Feed My Starving Children packaged dehydrated meals for third world countries, while those at Emer-gency Food Center repackaged food for disadvantaged people. Hope for the City was a ware-house distribution center for the disadvantaged people of Minne-apolis, and Global Health Minis-tries was a ministry that donated personal health products to third world countries. Project for Pride in Living provided housing and assistance for low-income fami-lies, and Meals on Wheels provid-ed meals to shut-in or low-income individuals. All of these sites, however, shared a common goal: to help the needy of this world, locally and far away.

This mission trip brought back 18 very changed people who were amazed by God’s power to work through them to help others. Everyone had a wonderful, life-changing experience, and cannot wait for next year’s trip.

By Graham Severson With another frigid winter

right around the corner, it is time to think about how you can keep heating prices down and keep the environment a clean, healthy place for all.

A few simple techniques and choices can lower that electric bill and improve the environment.

Make sure your windows and doors are tightly sealed. The cold air that can come into your house through improperly sealed windows can chill your house and urge you to turn on the heat. Instead, go to a local home im-provement store and get better seals. If that still isn’t enough, wear more layers of clothes before deciding to raise the heat. A couple fewer degrees can go along way in reducing your heating bill.

Instead of pouring toxic de-icers on your frozen driveway like rock salt, throw plain sand on your driveway to get the traction needed. Toxic de-icers are dan-gerous and can harm your pets or wildlife.

With it being freezing outside, people tend to remain indoors as much as possible. That being the case, your house’s light bulbs will be used much more often. Think about replacing any old light bulbs with new fluorescent ones. This will reduce the energy needed to light your home and will light your house longer.

If that is not enough to satisfy your green needs, when the holi-days roll around, don’t get a bag for every small gift you buy. Plastic and paper bags are hastily used every holiday season for even the smallest things. Next time, don’t accept the paper or plastic on the small purchases and just carry it.

It’s time to think about how to lower that heating bill this winter and remain green. Just because it is unlikely that planting a tree in December will be successful, doesn’t mean you can’t help the environment. Not blasting the heat, using environmental friend-ly de-icers, and getting energy ef-ficient appliances and light bulbs are just a few things you can do to stay green this winter.

Go green for the winter

By Brooke LauritzenA local 10 year-old girl named

Brianna Bickel was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) on July 4, 2001, when she was 9 months old. Bickel has had chemotherapy, radiation, and a bone marrow transplant and has been in remission for 8 and a half years. Her daily life has been affected greatly by what she has gone through when she was younger.

Among the support of her mother and stepfather through-out her cancer process, Bickel also has made her own artwork for therapy. According to Bickel, someone called her mother to ask if Bickel would like to make a painting for a childhood cancer art show. She accepted the offer and made two paintings, one that she has sold for $150 and one she got to take home. One of her paintings is called “Cancer Makes Me Blue.” It is a blue, sad picture of her while having cancer.

“I don’t remember having cancer because I was little, but my mom and stepdad do and I know that they were sad, too,” said Bickel. She also liked making the paintings because it was fun and she got to work with an artist and a therapy dog named Cree.

The artwork from cancer pa-tients was on display and for sale at the ARTgarage in Green Bay in September, which is childhood cancer awareness month. Pro-ceeds benefited the Child Life De-partment of St. Vincent Hospital

Brianna Bickel stands with her stepfather while holding her painting entitled “Cancer Makes Me Feel Blue,” that now hangs at ABVM Church.

Bickel said, “The money for the paintings goes to help other kids when they are at the hospi-tal so it is nice to be able to help other people.”

Bickel is excited that others get to see her painting. She said, “I hope I get to do more in the future and show people that art therapy is really helpful if you are going through a hard time.”

Every three minutes, one woman in the U.S. is diagnosed with breast cancer.

Every thirteen minutes, one woman in the U.S. will die of breast cancer.

There are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S.—the largest group of cancer survivors alive today.

Breast cancer research has provided better treatment options that are now less invasive, with faster recoveries and fewer long-term side effects.

Finding breast cancer early, when it is most treatable, can mean the difference between life and death. That’s why the Ameri-can Cancer Society has developed the following guidelines for the early detection of breast cancer, to help you stay well. The American Cancer Society’s breast cancer screening guidelines are for women at average risk for cancer (unless otherwise specified) and without any specific symptoms.

Yearly mammograms are rec-ommended starting at age 40 and continuing for as long as a woman is in good health.

A breast exam by a doctor or nurse should be part of a periodic health exam, about every three years for women in their 20s and 30s and every year for women 40 and older.

Women should know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any breast change to their doctor without delay. Breast self-exam is an option for women starting in their 20s.

Certain women, because of their family history, a genetic tendency, or certain other factors should be screened with MRI in addition to mammograms. If you think you are at higher risk for breast cancer, please talk with your doctor about your history and whether you should have an MRI. For more information on breast cancer screening, please call the American Cancer Society at 1-800 (227) 2345, anytime, day or night.

Watch for Signs and Symp-toms: The earliest sign of breast cancer is usually seen on a mam-mogram before a woman or health care professional can feel it. Larger tumors may become noticeable as a breast lump. Other

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month

possible signs of breast cancer include thickening, swelling, ten-derness, skin irritation, dimpling, nipple pain, scaliness, ulceration, nipple retraction, or spontaneous discharge. All suspicious lumps or breast changes should be checked by your doctor.

Know the Risk Factors: Aside from being female, age is the most important factor affecting breast cancer risk. About 77 percent of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer are age 50 or older. About 18 percent of breast cancer diagnoses are among women in their 40s. Risk is also increased by:

Inherited genetic mutations (BRCA1 and BRCA2)

A personal or family history of breast cancer

Dense breast tissue (having more glandular tissue relative to fatty tissue in the breast) A breast biopsy with a diagnosis of hyper-plasia (especially atypical hyper-plasia)High-dose radiation to the chest as a result of medical pro-cedures

Reproductive factors includ-ing a long menstrual history (menstrual periods that start early and/or end late in life), never having children, recent use of oral contraceptives, postmenopausal hormone therapy, and having one’s first child after age 30

Reduce Your Risk: Although there is no guaranteed way to prevent breast cancer at this time (which is why yearly mammo-grams are so important), there are steps you can take to reduce your breast cancer risk:

Maintain a healthy body weight

Engage in moderate to vigor-ous regular physical activity (at least 45-60 minutes on 5 or more days of the week)

Reduce the amount of alcohol you drink, if you drink at all, to no more than one drink per day for women (and no more than two drinks per day for men)

On September 28, 2010, Pulaski FFA members attended the World Dairy Expo, which was held at the Alliant Center in Madison. Kayla Nischke, Amanda Bodart, and Morgan Swie-cichowski judged dairy cattle. Lauran Brice, Kelli Badtke, and Ashley Kaczmarowski competed in the Dairy Products judging contest, and Katie Christopherson participated in the Dairy Show-manship contest.

The contests were held in the morning; after everyone com-peted, the FFA members had a chance to walk around and expe-rience the World Dairy Expo and see what really goes on at a cattle show.

“It was my first time attend-ing the expo and I really enjoyed walking through all the barns and seeing the different breeds of dairy cattle, form all over the world,” said Kelli Badtke.

A number of Pulaski business-es and schools took part in a recent fundraiser for breast cancer. A total of $400.03 was raised to support this cause. Pulaski High School was the biggest contribu-tor of $150.21.

“Kudos goes out to PHS,” said Barb Mleziva.

From 7-8 p.m. on October 8, Making Strides against Breast Cancer held a candlelight vigil to honor a loved one by lighting candles to be placed as a candle light path to the pavilion. There was an additional fundraiser walk held October 9, at Green Isle Park called Making Strides against Breast Cancer. The proceeds went towards saving lives from breast cancer.

Breast Cancer fundraiser helps support area survivor By Tim Frisch and Andrew

Lundin, Conservation Warden The Wisconsin DNR would

like to remind all people in the area that hunting safety is a must, not just for hunters, but for every-body. The WDNR has a few legal requirements for those who may be out hunting and recommenda-tions for those out doing other ac-tivities on hunting grounds.

Some of the legal requirements are as follow: Anybody hunting during a gun-deer season, except water-fowl hunters, is required to be wearing blaze orange. For example, if you or anybody else is hunting turkeys during a gun-deer season, you still must be wearing blaze orange. The legal requirement for blaze orange is a minimum of 50 percent above the waistline; Furthermore, if you are going to be wearing a hat, it must be at least half blaze orange as well. There are over 600,000 licensed gun-deer hunters in the woods every year, so safety is a must.

As mentioned previously, safety is not just for the hunters. If you are outdoors doing a non-hunting activity, there is a list of recommendations for such people as well. First of all, it would be wise to go online and print off a copy of the WDNR season dates at dnr.wi.gov. Also you can pick up a copy at your local DNR office

Deer hunting season safety not just for huntersor hunting-license vendors where DNR licenses are sold. Non-hunt-ers may not know that there are five separate gun-deer hunting seasons across the state, depend-ing upon where you live. Hunter density varies from location to lo-cation, depending on your recre-ational location of choice. While not legally required, is highly rec-ommended that non-hunters wear blaze orange while recreating outdoors during any of the gun-deer seasons. Lastly, if you take residence in a wooded area, and typically let your pets run loose, or are taking them for a walk, you need to keep in mind their safety as well. During the gun-deer season your pets may be mistaken for game or other wildlife.

A majority of Brown County’s deer management unit lies within what is classified as a “metro unit.” This simply means that the gun-deer season runs longer than the traditional nine-day season. The reason for this classification is to help control wildlife popu-lations within major Wisconsin metro areas.

If you take interest in finding out about updates or new laws of the WDNR, you can sign up for the WDNR newsletter by going to dnr.wi.gov, clicking on “online services,” and then going to “sub-scribe to DNR updates.” You can sign up for a variety of topics such

as hunting, fishing, trapping, en-vironment, air and water quality, solid waste, boating, snowmobil-ing and forestry just to list a few.

Furthermore, the WDNR would like to remind you about the “Deer Donation Program.” From 1999-2009, the program distributed over 3.1 million pounds of ground venison from nearly 70,000 deer donated by hunters. To find out the closest location to donate meat you can go to dnr.wi.gov. This is an ex-tremely valuable community program and helps local pantries and needy families. Your par-ticipation is a great asset to the program. Locally, Hunt for the Hungry is a major contributor to this program.

Last but not least, please re-member the four core rules of firearm safety. The acronym is “TABK,” which stands for Treat every gun as if it were loaded, Always point the muzzle in a safe direction, Be sure of your target and beyond, Keep your finger out of the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot. Remember, safe hunting is no accident.

The che-motherapy Mleziva is doing is only four years old. The Ameri-can Cancer Society not only fights to find cures for breast cancer, but for all types of cancer.

Pulaski student raises fish in aquarium

By Lindsay Tauscher and Ashlynn VanToll

Marc Richmond first started with his interest of fish in 2008 when former Ag Teacher Brian Pinchart encouraged him to do a study with underwater biological filtration and the nitrogen cycle. Marc then took the project to Na-tionals and has been going ever since. Richmond now collects, breeds, and sells the fish. Cur-rently, he breeds three types of fish: the Fosorochromis Rostratus (Peacock Cichlid), Sciaenochro-mis Fryeri (Electric Blue Cichlid), and Labidochromis Caeruleus (electric Yellow Cichlid) which are African fish that originate from the Rift Valley Lakes.

Marc’s aquatic setup includes two four foot aquariums, one six foot aquarium, and one two and a half foot tank. Richmond also has fish tanks at his neighbor’s house and some at school. In his spare time he likes to help with other

people’s fish set-ups. “I enjoy raising the fish, and

I find it calming,” Richmond says. He is now helping design an Aquaculture System, which is currently being built at Pulaski High School. Marc sells his fish to people who want to add to their aquariums at home. He also sells fish to Advanced Aquarium Systems in Green Bay; while doing this, his father teaches him money management skills. His mom says they look quite nice, and she enjoys seeing all of the baby fish throughout the house. It usually costs $10-15 per month to feed all of his fish, and gets $60-75 per batch of baby fish.

When it comes to his fish, Marc is willing to trade any-thing of interest to him. He also goes to auctions. Once, he traded clothes for a fish. In the future, Marc would like to start his own website to sell his fish online.

Gas leak causes school evacuation

Gymnasts pose after they participated in SAGA’s first annual cartwheel-athon.

By Morgan Prentice On September 11, in honor of

National Gymnastics day, SAGA Sports and Gymnastics held a Cartwheel-athon in Suamico for gymnasts of all ages. The cartwheel-athon was organized to help raise funds for SAGA’s Booster Club which uses the funds to support its traveling, competi-tive gymnasts. Funds were also given to The Hugs Project, an or-ganization supporting our troops overseas.

The gymnasts asked family, friends, and neighbors to pledge money for every cartwheel they completed during the event. Some of the higher level gymnasts re-ceived pledges for performing more difficult skills like double back fly-aways off the high bar (double back summersaults off a bar). Overall, 16 gymnasts worked together to raise $2,500

that day.“For our first annual Cart-

wheel-athon, I think it was a success, and I’m hoping next year we will raise even more!” said Jon Hovda, the owner of SAGA Sports and Gymnastics.

SAGA had a contest to see who could raise the most money and rewarded the winner with a free SAGA Sports and Gymnas-tics T-shirt. Betsie Lesatz, 9, was the winner, raising $365.

“I had a lot of fun at SAGA with all my friends, and I hope I raise the most money next year too!” said Lesatz.

On Thursday, October 7, the Pulaski High School had to evac-uate the building at 1:30 p.m. due to a natural gas leak. The gas leak took place between the Pulaski High School and the neighboring Pulaski Veterinary Clinic and was caused by a company digging in that area.

The pressurized natural gas spewed from the severed line into the tree line. Due to the wind di-rection, the natural gas drifted towards the high school causing suspicion among the staff and stu-dents.

Around 1:20 p.m., students who had a class in the math and social studies pod were affected first. Before there was an an-nouncement, students in social studies were able to smell the gas leak and evacuated the building.

Minutes after, Debbie Sparish made an announcement over the intercom to have all students and staff evacuate the building im-mediately. The fire alarm went off, and students and staff were outside the building waiting for further instructions.

After everyone was out of the building, the Pulaski Police Department and the Pulaski Tri-County Fire Department along with WE Energies were at the scene. This is when students real-ized it was not a drill but an actual situation. Later, WE Energies

When Larson was asked how she managed to put such an im-pressive in-depth history of Pulaski together, she said, “Elaine Grygiel knew I was a writer who researches and writes corporate and institutional histories for my clients at Sanders Larsen Market-ing/Communicators in Neenah. When she inquired about my in-terest in writing the history of Pulaski, I helped draw up a request for sponsorship from Nsight, which was also celebrating their centennial in 2010. Nsight agreed to pay for the book’s printing and stipends for the creative team. I recruited Kathleen Caylor as pho-tographer, and my Neenah-based creative partner, Steve Massie, to do the book layout. Gloria Morgan and the staff of Dynamic designs sold and created the ads.”

Rob Riordan, the president and CEO of Nsight, anticipates how Nsight customers will utilize new communication tools. Nsight has teamed up with Cellcom and NetNet to give their customers fast efficient communication via cell phone service, internet, and email.

Riordan anticipates the next big thing in communication will be “femtocells.” Femtocells are personal cell service base systems that boost signals from your home or office. This new device will be able to automatically update your facebook status or down-load music almost instantly. By figuring out what customers want and providing new technology quickly and efficiently, Nsight is able to excel in the communica-tion business.

Nsight would like to send a big thank-you to the entire Pulaski community for their support over the past century. Nsight’s many loyal customers have made it possible for the business to keep running strong as they look to the future. They will continue to invest in new technologies to keep their customers up to date on new devices and service in tech-nology. Nsight will continue to keep Pulaski citizens’ communi-cation connections strong.

capped the leak and repaired the gas line.

Students reacted in a calm way and met their sixth hour teacher on the south east portion of the school grounds near Crest Drive. For over an hour, students remained on their best behavior while waiting to hear from the ad-ministrators and staff for further information.

After the administrators gave instructions to the teachers, stu-dents were anxious to see what would happen next. All sporting events and other school activi-ties were cancelled for the night. Students had the choice of riding their bus home, riding home with a parent, or walking home. Stu-dents with cars were not allowed to drive home or even go in their car. However, they were able to come back after a couple of hours and get their car and belongings.

“I’m extremely proud of our students, staff, police officers and firefighters in their response to this emergency situation” said Dr. Mel Lightner, Superintendent of schools. “It was amazing to see how everybody pulled together to make sure that we handled the emergency in a calm matter. Also much thanks to the bus drivers who rerouted their buses to pick up students at the high school.” said Lightner. “Our parents and community can be extremely proud of our staff, students and everyone involved in this matter.”

This vandalism happened about two weeks ago, on my proper-ty within Pulaski Township. If you have any information regard-ing the damage, please call Bob Hon at (920)309-0006. Thank you for your help.

Do you know who vandalized this?

Each month, a Hillcrest student will be nominated to be the recipi-ent of the Optimist Award. We are happy to announce we have two winners this month.

The first October winner is Megan Bryfczynski who was nominated by her fifth grade teacher, Becky Barry. Barry said that Megan is a hard working student that strives for excellence. She went on to say that this student brings a positive attitude to the class and is a role model for her peers.

Max Lindsley also is receiving the Optimist award for the month of October. Michelle Prestine, the fifth grade teacher who nominated Max, stated that his positive perspective on life is contagious. She also said he is a hard worker, a fantastic team player, and is respectful to teachers and classmates. When in doubt, he seeks answers, and when others are uncertain, he is there to help. His presence makes the class-room a better place.

The Optimist Winner for the month of September at Fair-view School is Lydia Klopotic in Sarah Schmidt’s 4K class. Lydia enjoys helping out in the classroom. She uses her kind words and actions with her friends and encourages them to do the same. She is the daughter of Cory and Jenni-fer Klopotic. If you see Lydia, please congratulate her.

Area fire departments hold their annual fire prevention week at six local area schools. ABVM, Glenbrook, Sunnyside, Fairview, and Lannoye schools partici-pated along with the Pulaski Tri- County Fire Department, Town of Little Suamico Fire Department, and Green Valley Morgan Fire Department. The fun and learning didn’t stop at classroom presenta-tions. The students had a chance to go and look through a fire truck and learn what a fireman looks like with all his gear on. All the kids thought it was an enjoyable learning experience.

Glenbrook student Lilly Dorn, said, “I had fun, and I learned how to stay safe.” The students also had the opportunity to do a coloring contest and escape plan competition. Winners received a ride to school in a fire truck.

“The kids really enjoy it,” said firefighter Bruce Brzeczkowski.

“This is the third year for the ride to school in a fire truck program,” said Brzeczkowski. He goes on to say, “We like keeping the kids educated about fires because it supports commu-nity awareness and prevents fires down the road.”

Fire safety and prevention taught at area schools

National Fire Prevention Week offers a wonderful opportunity for families and schools to partner with local fire departments to remind children about safety procedures that can help save lives. The Little Suamico Fire Department volunteers visited Sunnyside October 6, 2010 to show children in grades Kg – 3 their equipment and talk about safe exit routes, smoke detectors and the role of fire fighters in the community. The fire prevention poster contest sponsored by local fire volunteers had a great response at Sunnyside, and it was challenging to choose winners for the fire truck ride. The Sunnyside winners are pictured above with Fireman Al Drake.

By Katie Christopherson On September 21, the Agricul-

tural Mechanics class took a field trip to the Pulaski Chase Coopera-tive to learn about Farm Safety.

“The Farm Safety Training presented by Cheryl Skjolaas was a very good reminder of the hazards we need to be mindful of during the harvest season. Cheryl was able to take statistics and facts and put them into real life situations. During our busy lives, sometimes we forget that the farms we call home can be very a dangerous lifestyle,” said Katie Katch, the marketing coordinator at the Pulaski Chase Cooperative.

Joseph Braun was involved with a test showing reaction time and “How fast an accident can happen vs our human reaction time.”

By Samantha BrabenderChristian Jabkowski is current-

ly enrolled as a senior at Pulaski High school, but is here from Germany through his parent’s generosity in sponsoring him as a foreign exchange student. Jab-kowski arrived in Pulaski on July 31, after a two week course of practicing English in Boston, Massachusetts, and plans to leave sometime in the middle of June. He is currently staying with the family of Shane and Mandy Bre-itenbach.

Jabkowski says one of the major reasons he decided to become a foreign exchange student was because of the great experiences his brother had during his time as a foreign exchange student in Ohio. Jab-kowski is also looking to greatly improve his English while here in America, and he believes that this experience will greatly help him when he is applying for college.

Between his life in Germany and here in Pulaski, there are a few differences Jabkowski can recognize.

“Everyone is much nicer here. They all say hello even if you don’t know them,” said Jabkow.

He also said that back home in Germany, they have few days of snow and only moderately cold winters versus the inches of snow we get that stays on the ground. While here, Jabkowski is looking to join the swim team in Novem-ber; back home, sports aren’t as-sociated with the schools.

The eighth annual Pulaski Kickfest tournament had a great turnout on September 18, for their annual middle school tournament. Twelve combined seventh and eighth grade co-ed soccer teams from all over the area came to Pulaski middle school to compete in this tournament. There were two Pulaski teams, coached by Dave Bentz and Kare Goodness, who fought competitively during their games, but couldn’t over-come West Depere and Sturgeon Bay, who each won a bracket of the tournament.

“It was a really fun tourna-ment and there were a lot of good teams. I look forward to playing soccer again next year,” said goalie Logan Nowinski.

Organizers Joe Diefentha-ler and Katy Tennant worked extremely hard to put this tour-nament together, taking so much time out of their own lives to

organize this successful tourna-ment, which raises concession stand money to pay for new balls, nets, and other equipment.

“We are extremely thankful for all parents and teams who showed up to support our middle school soccer program,” said Diefenthaler.

Those who they would like to give special thanks to include the men from the NEW Rescue Squad, the Pulaski buildings and grounds crew, the High school boys soccer team for refereeing, athletic director Jeff Miller, and Bob Vanschyndal. The 27 LEO club students from the high school who helped wherever needed, es-pecially in the concession stands, are especially to thank. A big part of the success was also the will-ingness of the parents to help out and to allow their children to par-ticipate in this great program.

“It’s a great experience for the kids; that is why we do it,” said Tennant.

Dan Slowey of Pulaski High School have announced that Jacob Pelegrin, son of Jeffrey and Annette Pelegrin, has been named a Commended Student in the 2011 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commenda-tion from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented by the principals to this scholastically talented senior.

About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2011 competition for Na-tional Merit Scholarships, Com-mended Students placed among the top five percent of more that 1.5 million students who entered the 2011 competition by taking the 2009 Preliminary SAT/ Na-tional Merit Scholarship Qualify-ing Test (PSAT/NMSQT®).

“Recognition of high-achiev-ing students is essential to advanc-ing educational excellence in our nation,” commented a spokesper-son for NMSC. “As demonstrat-ed by their outstanding perfor-mance in our highly competitive program, the young men and women named Commended Stu-dents represent some of the most academically talented students in our country. We sincerely hope this recognition will enhance their educational opportunities and en-courage them in their pursuit of academic success.”

Pulaski High School received these motorcycles because of Justin Meyer, a Pulaski grad, who also works at DOT and goes to Madison Area Tech. These mo-torcycles that Justin gave Pulaski High School were given to us so we can learn how to fix up the bikes. These bikes were retired bikes and can no longer be used on the road, but only for fixing up.

By Cassie Zahn Six years ago, Nick Nevas-

cil, a faculty member at Preble High School and cancer survi-vor, started up a non-profit orga-nization at Preble called “Sting Cancer.” The goal of this group was to raise cancer awareness and help members of the community affected by cancer. The organi-zation started out small, but it has now significantly expanded to include a large portion of the Preble student population and its own chapters in other communi-ties. Pulaski is the eighth com-munity to join this cause with the establishment of its own Sting Cancer group at the high school near the end of last school year.

The Pulaski chapter of Sting Cancer consists of students at Pulaski High School and their advisor, Pulaski High School counselor Katie Sukow. The team is committed to raising awareness for all types of cancer within the high school and also in the com-munity of Pulaski. In addition to raising awareness, Sting Cancer also entails a “Helping Hands” portion of their organization de-signed to help families in the community directly affected by cancer by providing support fi-nancially, emotionally, and physi-

cally. The Pulaski Sting Cancer or-

ganization urges anyone in the community dealing with cancer or anyone that knows a family in the community dealing with cancer to contact them so that they can provide assistance. To start groups like this in other communities, Sting Cancer also includes a “Sting It Forward” section so that this organization can hopefully become a nation-wide movement that reduces the effects of cancer.

Over the summer, the Pulaski Sting Cancer team worked hard to start raising awareness and funds in order to support members of the community affected by cancer. The team held a brat fry in the Super Ron’s parking lot and also sold Sting Cancer t-shirts at the Pulaski Polka Days Craft Fair. At both events, the Sting team was ecstatic to get the word out about their organization to start the fight against cancer in the Pulaski community. At their booth in the Polka Days Craft Fair, the team met and talked to many who had lost loved ones to cancer and saw how emotionally taxing its effects were. Meeting these people made the Sting members more de-termined to make their group a

success so that they could, in turn, strengthen their efforts to reduce the effects of cancer.

“As a whole, we wanted to be more than just a club at Pulaski High School; we wanted to be awareness, positive action, and support,” said Jena Stewart, club president.

So far this school year, the Sting team has gotten the high school students involved in cancer awareness by selling ribbons specific to that month’s cancer. Eventually, the team also hopes to bring a guest speaker to the high school to heighten cancer awareness. For the month of October, Sting Cancer is pro-moting a “Think Pink Week” to raise breast cancer awareness by selling ribbons, t-shirts, and en-couraging the students to wear pink all week.

Also, fall sports teams are in-corporating some kind of pink into their uniforms for their re-spective games or meets. Some teams are even going as far as to collect donations to go towards breast cancer awareness efforts.

Pulaski High School students have done a phenomenal job thus far of helping Pulaski Sting Can-cer’s efforts to reduce the effects of cancer in the community.

to compete in the Pulaski Diving Invitational on October 2. The teams that competed were Pulaski, Appleton North, Neenah, De Pere, Appleton West/Kimberly, and Appleton East. Kelsey Shadick from Pulaski was the Pulaski Invitational Cham-pion with the score of 340.55, along with Emily Dombrowski, who placed fifth with a score of 271.20. Other Pulaski divers who competed were Kylie Gresham, who placed 14th and Tori Stueck, who placed 15th. Overall, Pulaski had a winning team score of 37, placing first in the invite.

Pulaski wins diving invitational

By Jake Pelegrin Cross-country takes place

during the fall season. The ath-letes try to finish their race as fast as possible (boys race 5k; girls race 4k). Runners score points for their team equal to the position in which they cross the finish line (first place gets 1 point; second place gets 2 points, etc.). Each team has eight varsity spots for boys and eight for girls.

Many athletes wear spikes during the race to improve trac-tion. Times are taken with mi-crochips attached to the athletes’ shoes that register when they cross the finish line.

Uniforms consist of loose-fitting, light jerseys and shorts. Spectators line up along the edge of the course (especially near the finish line) and cheer for athletes from the school they are support-ing.

How to watch cross country

By Devin Hynes Football, although appearing

to be an extremely complex sport, can easily be understood if one pays close attention. Our local team, The Pulaski Red Raiders, plays in the FRCC conference during the fall.

Many rules can only be picked up by watching the sport, but the basic concepts are very simple. Both teams try to get the ball into the opponent’s end zone. To get to the end zone, players can run the ball or pass the ball to other players on their team. Each team has eleven players: some who run and catch the ball, some who block for the ball carriers, and one who throws the ball. When a team has possession of the ball (offense), they get four plays to reach a ten yard mark called a “first down.” If this mark is passed, that team gets a fresh set of downs.

Moving down the field, however, is not so simple. While trying to gain ground on the field, the opposing team (defense) will try and tackle them to minimize yardage. If one team fails to reach the “first down,” they will often

The Raiders dominated the field the whole game, forcing Logan Vanden-houten to save only two shots for the big shut out. Senior Ryan Gerhartz scored a hat trick, giving Pulaski all three goals for their win.

Coach Ted Sarosiek said, “Our Pulaski team had one of their strongest games of the year. The team played well and is getting stronger as the season goes on.”

The Pulaski Red Raider foot-ball team traveled to Ashwaube-non on the night of October 1, to take on the rivaled Jaguars. The team went into the game off of a good win the week before against Green Bay East.

“The team went out with the right mentality and wanted a win,” said Senior Tight End Matt Vesco.

The Red Raiders started off well with the game being a stale-mate at 0-0 as they fought hard. They only let up 14 in the first quarter which gave the Jags the lead 14-0. Pulaski continued to go to battle every drive, but as Ash-waubenon put up 17 more points ,they proved to be very challeng-ing for the Raiders.

“Going into the half down by 31, we kind of had our dobbers down. We came out the second half really pumped, and we were just ready to play some ball,” said Senior Quarterback Race Noeld-ner.

The Red Raiders played out the second half extremely well, with the offense putting up 7 points and the defense shutting down the Jags.

The game ended with a 31-7 score to Ashwaubenon, but the Raiders looked to bounce back and win their next three games as it is necessary to make a playoff run. Come support the Pulaski Red

punt the ball to the other team in order to gain field position (more yardage). When the other team gets the ball, they become the offense and the team that punted becomes the defense. The defense can steal the ball back from the offense by recovering the football if it is fumbled by the offense and by intercepting passes thrown by the offense. When a team reaches the end zone (called a touch-down), they are given six points. After a touchdown, teams have an opportunity to score an extra point or to score an extra two points. Most often, teams chose an extra point since scoring one point is much easier.

Cheering for a team is very simple. Whenever people witness a long run, a nice pass and com-pletion, or a nice defensive play, they should cheer. People attend-ing the game should make sure to sit in the section designated for their team.

Football is considered one of the most difficult sports to comprehend, but with time and knowledge of the basic concepts, it can be better understood.

Over 100 athletes from age’s eight to twelve showed up at the annual Knights of Columbus Punt, Pass, and Kick contest on September 23 at the PCMS foot-ball stadium.

This contest tested athletes’ accuracy in punting, passing, and kicking the football.

Participants were given two at-tempts for each event, the better of the two being the scored dis-tance.

Awards were given to the top five participants in each age divi-sion.

First place winners of each age group advanced to district compe-tition. This year Hailey Schilling clinched the top overall girl’s po-sition with a total score of 172.5 feet. Schilling will be advancing to state competition in Marshfield on October 16.

This event couldn’t have hap-pened without the numerous vol-unteers who contributed a few hours of their time. Volunteers from the Pulaski Leo Club, as well as Pulaski football players and several adult volunteers from the community, helped mark and throw back balls.

Halloween Coloring Contest for kids

According to the Wisconsin Department of Labor, the median annual income for a family of four is $75,111; which after taxes is approximately $45,000 per year. On average, a policyholder with a modest home and two ve-hicles spends about $1,800 (4% of take home income) per year on insurance to protect these assets. While it’s important to stay within a budget, buying insurance on price alone is not always the best bet.

Per our buying habits, it’s only human nature for us to want the best deal possible. Does this mean the best price or the best value? Webster’s dictionary defines value as “the extent to which a good or service is perceived by its customer to meet his or her needs or wants”. If our needs are low, then we can probably purchase something inexpensive. If our needs are high, we’re probably looking to buy a better product to meet those needs and we usually have to pay more to get it.

Per law and regulations, the insurance industry is closely watched and audited due to its financial importance in our society. One of the most re-spected financial rating authori-ties is A.M. Best which applies a grading scale to insurance carriers based on organization, financial strength, business plan, and re-sources. In a nutshell, A.M. Best gives high grades to companies that can easily meet their obliga-tions to policyholders and gives lower grades to insurance carriers that are not as strong. Partnering with an insurance carrier that is graded “A” or better is highly rec-ommended.

Highly rated insurance carriers are obligated to settle claims just like lesser rated carriers, however, the key difference between the two are how they settle claims. For example, if you’re involved in a car accident where no one

Check your insurance carriers ratings

was ticketed, yet the injured party is bringing legal suit against you, a highly rated carrier will repre-sent you much better by employ-ing a stronger legal team. Stron-ger resources provide more peace of mind and a better outcome.

Per insurance policy language and contract law, it is the ultimate responsibility of the insured to read and understand the provi-sions of their insurance policy. Understanding this, if you are expecting the highest quality for the least price, you may be setting yourself up for some grief if you have a significant claim. In looking for a quality insurance program, use the following sug-gestions:

Work with a competent agent. A good agent will interpret the mechanics of a policy and explain important coverages, limitations, and exclusions. A good agent should ask many questions about you to create a policy based on your needs

Know your situation. Let your agent know which items are most important to you and try to forecast the perils that would cause a loss to these items

Only consider insurance car-riers graded “A” or better from A.M. Best

Compare limits of coverage. For auto insurance, the state of Wisconsin dictates minimum levels of coverage such as liabil-ity, medical payments, and unin-sured and underinsured motorists. Usually, it doesn’t cost much to increase these limits

Be prepared to spend a little more. Remember, quality comes at a price. If you’re looking for cheap insurance, you might “get what you paid for” when it comes to a claim.

Safeguard Insurance special-izes in representing insurance carriers that carry at least an “A” rating by A.M. Best. and is conveniently located in the Moun-tain Bay Plaza in Pulaski.

By Isabel ThyneEach year as fall returns, it

brings wonderful times: leaves changing, apple picking, Friday night football games and one of the best days of the year, Hal-loween. This holiday plays on the most mischievous fantasies of the mind, celebrating ghouls, witches, and all things that go bump in the night. People may choose to observe this holiday in their own way, but the spirit of Halloween resonates among all.

One of the most anticipated traditions of the year is dressing up in various costumes. Whether you decide to don the uniform of your favorite superhero or the coat of a beloved animal, cos-tumes allow the wearer to trans-form into someone entirely new, even if only for a small amount of time.

Local business owner, Theresa Thyne, provides many in the Green Bay area with Halloween costumes each year. She runs her business from her home, specifi-cally her second garage. Thyne is the owner to a large quantity of costumes, varying from char-acter pieces as well as unique peices. She rents these costumes at reasonable prices and requires no laundering services. Potential customers can reach Thyne at the phone number (920)544-0075 to set up an appointment.

As a business person, it is amazing to me, in this day and age, the number of businesses that exist that still do not have a website. Recently, I had an op-portunity to talk to businesses, and by a show of hands of about 200 individuals, only about one quarter of the businesses were on the web. According to Jupiter Research, half of all small busi-nesses with less than 10 employ-ees do not have a website. If you have a business, and don’t have a website, then read the following reasons why a website is a neces-sity for your business success.

Your Business is open 24/7. Unlike your company’s office that may be open from 8-5, Monday thru Friday, your company ‘s website is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There are many different time zones that may affect your busi-ness, which is why being on the web makes it time convenient for everyone. People can access your site; and simply find your office hours, your products, your phone number and check your company out, even when you are not in.

It’s Your Online Bro-chure / Catalog and Can Be Changed at Anytime A website is easier, cheaper and quicker to update than print mate-rial. Its’ capacities are almost lim-itless which allow you to provide users with more comprehensive information. This will save you money on printing and distribu-tion costs as well.

Presents a Professional Image For a small business or even in-home business, a well-designed web site is a great way of instill-ing confidence and looking bigger than you actually are. In this day in age, customers assume that you already have a website. Research shows that 80% of people use the web to find local businesses.

Marketing/Sales Tool A website is a great marketing tool for your business. You can send email blasts like newsletters, promotions, updates and more to thousands of people within minutes. By utilizing a website like Constant Contact, this can be done. And you can drive people directly to your site with this type of marketing tool with a link to your site.

Educate your customers I personally like to provide infor-mation and articles to my custom-ers and clients. Educate your cus-tomers; they’ll appreciate it and believe that you are the expert in the field. When they need you for something; they’ll know who to

A businesswith no website? Don’t even go there!

contact. Education is the key to success in any business situation.

Sell your products.The web gives you an oppor-

tunity to reach a lot of people, far more that actually enter your store each day. You have the opportu-nity to create an on-line store. Even, if you don’t sell products on the web; consumers are re-searching your products. Accord-ing to a recent survey by Nielsen Online, a service of the Nielsen Company, most people who shop online during the holidays do it not to save money, but to save time. Their online survey of 1000 people found that 81 percent shop online because they can shop any time of the day. Seventy-seven said they like to save time. Sixty-

one percent said they like to com-parison shop, and 56 percent said they like it because they can find things easily.

So, if you haven’t figured it out yet, the answer is clear. In order to obtain success, your business needs a website. Think about the information you’d like your website to provide, write it down, and jump right in! There is no better time than the present.

Ken Metoxen, a potter from Oneida, Wisconsin, has yet to have his work discovered by the public.

Metoxen said, “I have done pottery since I was in grade school.”

Metoxen enjoys pottery so much because he has no one looking over his shoulder, and he has more time to spend with his son, Brickman House. Metoxen isn’t like any ordinary potter. He doesn’t use a potting wheel; instead he rolls out the clay and

Metoxen is Oneida potter

pounds it by hand.Many Native Americans instill

their culture into their work; this is no different for Metoxen.

“The culture helps sell the work,” Metoxen said.

Metoxen went to school for art in the University of Oshkosh, and he then worked at the Institute of American Indian Arts in New Mexico. He traveled around the world selling his pottery but has settled in Oneida.

Metoxen learned some of his pottery skills from Rose Kerstet-ter, whom he met in New Mexico. Kerstetter is 92 years old and still making pottery.

Ken Metexon proudly displays some of his exquisite pottery.

Delzer’s Pumpkin Farm is off County road CC. The farm has Indian corn, squash, gourds, and tons of pumpkins. The pump-kins range from 50 cents to 20 dollars. The Delzer’s farm is a huge pumpkin patch that is filled with fun activities for everyone. They have a giant corn maze that is filled with Halloween figures. They also have a huge petting zoo filled with rabbits, kittens, sheep, roosters, and a miniature pony. They have a hay ride as well that goes through the woods, and people jump out at the tractor. Delzer’s farm has a haunted granary filled with spooky cos-tumes. They also have a train ride and face-painting for the kids to enjoy.

Tickets cost five dollars and are good for four activities. The pumpkin farm is open from noon to four p.m.

Delzer’s Farm opens

Delzer’s Farm welcomes visitors to its great pumpkin patch.

Chris Blaser enjoys the month of October when he gets to open his Blaser’s Acres pumpkin place. This pumpkin place is located on County Road B near Suamico and is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. every weekday.

“We sell pumpkins, squash, vegetables, hay bales, cornstalks, flowers, berries, and firewood,” said Blaser.

This pumpkin place also has a petting zoo which includes chickens, goats, and a miniature appaloosa mare. According to the employees, it has been a pretty fair year for sales and the growing of vegetables and pumpkins.

Blaser’s Farm now open for business

Pumpkins and fall plants cover the Blaser’s driveway.

The Pumpkin Place is on Briters Farm, which is off of Highway 41 off Brown Rd. The Pumpkin Place has pumpkins, gourds, corn, squash, and all fall decorating needs. The Pumpkin Place has been run by three gen-eration growers. A pumpkin that was 777 pounds was grown by the owner’s 12-year-old son. The father-in-law, Ray Gronski, has grown the largest pumpkin in Wisconsin. The Pumpkin Place has a petting zoo with alpaca, bunnies, and horses, along with a corn maze. The Pumpkin Place will provide you with any of your pumpkin needs.

Nsight celebrates 100 years in service

Visitors of the Nsight 100 Year Celebration enjoy comple-mentary snacks and great conversation.

George Sanders registers during the Nsight 100 Year Celebra-tion.

By Brett JanssenThe Nsight telecommunica-

tions company hosted a centen-nial celebration to mark 100 years of business. Nsight has served Pulaski since Pulaski Merchants and Farmers Telephone Co. in-vested in one of the earliest tele-phone systems in 1910. Outstand-ing work ethic and vision has helped Nsight continue to run strong.

The celebration was a huge success.

Tammy Homan, Media Rela-tions and Communications Co-ordinator said, “The 100 year celebration with the Pulaski com-munity was a tremendous success. We had over 700 people from the Pulaski community join us for a day of fun. During our celebration we offered a chance to win door prizes, the first look at the Pulaski Centennial History book, food, and tours of the ‘old house’ and our current operations – a literal walk through our history.”

The development of Pulaski is similar to the development of its communication systems. Nsight telservices has kept up with the latest technologies of the world for the past century, and it has kept them available for the public. Its dedication to its customers has kept the business running strong. By embracing new technologies, Nsight is staying ahead of the game.

The book that Nsight present-ed, “Putting Pulaski on the Map,” shows a rich heritage of Pulaski’s history. This book gives a strong centennial history of the village of Pulaski. The book recaps the past 100 years: major events, local businesses, and village growth over the years. Copies of the book are available exclusively at Nsight Teleservices in Pulaski.

“Putting Pulaski on the Map” was put together by Gina Sanders Larson.
