Pulaski appoints new trustee

Members of Village Pulaski Board selected Robert Gajewski to fill the vacant trustee position at the boards year end meeting on Monday, Dec. 19. Gajewski is a native to Pulaski, but graduated from Manitowoc Lincoln High School after his father was transferred there during his high school years. After graduating from high school, he attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he earned his chemical engineering degree. After UW-Madison, Gajewski moved to Minneapolis to work at General Mills. Throughout his career, he held various positions at both General Mills and Pillsbury Company. Upon retiring, Gajewski returned to Pulaski with his wife and son, and they have lived in the village for the last two and a half years. Gajewski said he was motivated by his desire to give something back when he decided to apply to fill the vacant trustee position. Now that he has been appointed to serve on the Village Board, he believes his biggest challenge will be learning about politics in general. I worked with a lot of people, and groups of people, and I think that helped prepare me, but it wasnt political, Gajewski said. I am looking forward to just helping out where I can. For Gajewski, fiscal responsibility and working to ensure that the village does not run into any financial problems will be the major factors that guide his decisions while serving on the board. To receive the appointment, Gajewski beat out eight other candidates. Village Board members used a secret paper ballot to determine who would fill the trustee position and went through four rounds of voting before a final candidate
Red Raider Marching Band is smelling roses

by Laura Cortright and Adam Styczynski While citizens of the Pulaski area are enjoying the post-Holiday glow, the Pulaski High School band is busy preparing for the opportunity of a lifetime: marching in the Tournament of Roses parade. The parade will carry band members along a five-and-ahalf mile route through Pasadena. Excitement rises as the students, band directors, and volunteers push through their final practices. Before they know it, January 2 will arrive, and they will step off on Colorado Boulevard, brandishing their slogan Pride of Pulaski, Pride of Wisconsin. Of course, the Red Raider Marching Band will do more than march next to multi-million dollar floats; although it may be hard to believe, there is more to this trip of a lifetime than simply performing in front of an audience of one billion people. In the midst of the sweat and burning muscles, the band will get a taste of Californias finest tourist attractions. Among the stops is Disneyland: a place for memories and laughter. The band will get passes to all rides and entertainment in both Disneyland itself as well as Disneys California Adventure. From enjoying rides like the Teacups and Space Mountain to marching in the Disneyland Parade, the band members will get the full experience. What is a trip to California without a tour through Beverly Hills? As a tour bus drives them through the commercial streets of Beverly Hills, the students (and their chaperones) will see their favorite stars mansions and shopping malls. In addition to Disneyland, the band will stop at Universal Studios Hollywood and Hard Rock Caf for a day of fastpaced funthat is, after they squeeze in a band rehearsal, of course. For fine dining, the band will travel to the House of Blues. They will also spend a night dancing aboard the RMS Queen Mary, one of the most famous ocean liners in history. Additionally, on the shore of the Pacific Ocean, the band will have a BBQ lunch and, if theyre brave enough, take a dip in the waves. Disneyland, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, the Queen Marywhew. Needless to say, the Red Raider Marching Bands trip to California is filled to the brink. Along with the big trip, the Red Raider Music Boosters also recently unveiled a new website. The site, which can be found at www.pulaskimusicboosters.com, now features a new layout complete with news updates, a calendar of events, and other important information for music lovers.

P-News Point of View

by Harley Griesbach, PHS Technology Education teacher Times are changing, and so are careers. Unfortunately, how many people think about certain careers has not changed with the technology and the careers themselves. There are a wide variety of high skill and high paying jobs out there that carry a very negative stigma that, in many cases, will deter people from exploring the career as a possible option. The perception of the career label needs to change to reflect what is really going on in industry. When most people hear the word manufacturing an instant image of someone standing on an assembly line while covered in dirt or grease comes to mind. However, this is simply not true anymore. The Northeast Wisconsin Manufacturing Alliance recently conducted a survey through the University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh demonstrating the relevance of a
poor perception. One component of the study basically discovered that the majority of people in northeast Wisconsin believe that manufacturing is important to our local economy, but simultaneously stated that they would not want their children to pursue manufacturing as a career path. Automotive, construction, and many other careers face the same perception issues. Parents, and the general public, have a predisposed image of what careers may be about and will often influence students away from these as career choices. Technology, equipment and the standard of work have evolved a great deal in recent years and many of the old methods do not exist anymore. Many of these careers have advanced an enormous amount and have become positions that require technical skills and abilities and are no longer grease work positions. It is time for everyone to look to let go of the past and see what is really happening with careers.
Trustee/ from front page

won a majority of votes. Members decided to use a primary-type voting method. Using this method, the trustees could select any of the candidates during the first round of voting. However, if any candidate did not receive a single vote, they would drop off and could not receive any votes in the subsequent rounds. Following the first round, only the top two candidates would be eligible to move on to the next round. During the first found, four of the nine nominees received votes, thus propelling them to the second round. Gajewski won three votes, while Victoria Robokoff won one vote, Christine Smith won one vote and Jon Syndergaard won one vote. The results of the second round of voting were identical to the first round. Because of the tie, all four candidates were eligible to receive votes during the third round. During the third round, Smith received two votes, Robokoff received one and Gajewski received three. Because Robokoff only received one vote, she dropped off the ballot, pitting Gajewski against Smith. Ultimately, during the fourth and final round of voting, Smith received two votes while Gajewski won, gaining a majority and, therefore, the Trustee position. Gajewski will now serve as village trustee until April 2013.

On a Saturday morning in early December, selected students from across the Pulaski Community School District participated in the Shop with a Cop program. The day began at 7:00 a.m. where the students met at the Glenbrook Elementary School gymnasium and were introduced to Santa and Hecky the Elf. Allen Wood, from Woodys Wheels, donated his motor coach services and transported the kids and officers to McDonalds in Pulaski where manager Jill Coppersmith and her staff provided breakfast to the officers and children at no cost. Both the children and offi-
cers then re-boarded Woodys Wheels and were transported to ShopKo in Suamico. At the store, the kids were able to shop for gifts for their families and were also able to pick out a special little gift for themselves. Mark Hawkins of MPH Photography then took a picture of the child and an officer as a keepsake memory. After shopping, the children returned to Glenbrook where they wrapped their presents. In total, 13 officers from area departments participated in the event, including eight officers from the Pulaski Police Department.

Local fire departments awarded grants

by Adam Styczynski Two Pulaski-area fire departments received grants from Georgia-Pacific that will be used to purchase various needed equipment. Fire and rescue units in our local communities play such a vital role in safety. They are often the only emergency units in towns where we have operations, said Jim Hannan, Georgia-Pacifics chief executive officer and president, in a statement. The Little Suamico Fire Department received a $2,500 donation from the company, which will be used for upgrading the departments ice water rescue gear. Ice water rescue gear is used when people fall through ice into frigid water. This gear will be essential during Wisconsins long winters when many people enjoy activities such as ice fishing and snowmobiling.
This new equipment will help us perform ice rescues faster and safer. Thats critical, especially with the increasing number of rural ponds and a growing population in the bay front area, said Little Suamico Fire Chief John Zak. Prior to receiving the grant, the department had been using the same set of gear for the last 40 years. Green Valley-Morgan Fire also received a grant from Georgia-Pacific for $5,000. They will be using it to purchase of selfcontained breathing apparatus, otherwise known as SCBA. The purpose of an SCBA is to provide fresh, clean air for firemen to breathe while doing their job. Green Valley-Morgan serves the Morgan and Green Valley areas north of Pulaski. We have 25 very active good members, said Fire Chief David Dittman.

Machickanee Players announce cast for upcoming show

Machickanee Player director, Chris LaChance, has announced the cast of the Players winter production of The Lottie and Bernice Show by L. Don Swartz. The comedy takes place on the set of western New Yorks favorite morning show, Buffalo Yak. The city and the show are stalled by a blizzard. While the blizzard keeps most of the shows crew, including its hosts, stranded in their homes, it does deposit two gregarious Polish women on the set when the shows neurotic program director, played by Chris Weis, offers the two, stranded because the city buses have stopped running, a ride. Lottie, played by Cindy Cho, and Bernice, played by Kathy Pierquet, proceed to take over the show. Throw in a wildly ambitious intern, played by Chelsie Conigliaro, who insists her glasses are not necessary even though she is severely near-sighted; a station manager plagued by marital problems, played by Joe Noel, and two bickering janitors, played by Russ and Kay Johnson, and New York is never the same. Performance dates are set for Feb. 10 through 12 and 17 through 19. Gift certificates and tickets are available at BayShore Books, Inc., 302 Collins Ave., Oconto; by phone at 920-834-4353; online at www.machickaneeplayers.org; or at the door (non-dinner shows only) at the Park Avenue Playhouse, 408 Park Ave., Oconto.

Officer Cindy Voigt submitted a request for special recognition due to Seiltzs assistance with an investigation.

citizenship. Far too often, people are reluctant to get involved and help the police with investigations. Nathan is an example not only to other kids but to adults as well, of what being a good citizen is all about. This is our community, we all live here, and together we can make it safe for everyone, said Dunford. I am proud of Nathans actions and honored to present him with this special recognition. Nathans mother added that she was extremely proud of Nathan for doing the right thing as well.

Alumni Profile
Cailie Kafura Class of 2011
Where do you live? I have no permanent home for a year, since I will be travelling to six different countries on my gap year. However, my permanent home is in Krakow, where my parents reside. These are my homes away from home: From July to August, I lived in the Amazon Jungle in Peru in a bungalow for two months! I am currently residing in my Moms best friends house, which is a bed and breakfast just outside of Cape Town in South Africa; I have been living here since August. Starting in January, I will be living in another bungalow in Cambodia, on an island called Sihanoukville.After Cambodia, I will work at an elephant rescue center and live in a glorified hut in Thailand! Come March, I will be living and volunteering in Mongolia in an orphanage or a yurt, which is a traditional Mongolian home. Where do you work? In Peru, I was volunteering on an environmental conservation project in an ecological reserve in Peru that rehabilitates animals and protects the rainforest. Daily activities included trail clearing (with machetes!), bird watching, animal feeding (jaguars, monkeys, parrots, etc), fruit collecting, turtle-egg rescuingand more! In South Africa, I am currently volunteering at a soup kitchen, a daycare, a nursing home, an animal shelter, as well as teaching a drama class to kids from shantytowns. In Cambodia, I will be volunteering on a marine conservation project where I will help clean the coral reefs, teach environmental education to children, and assist in the seahorse rehabilitation program. Thailands elephant rescue program will have me working six days a week, where I will have the privilege of feeding, bathing, and playing with formerly neglected elephants. In the brutally cold spring of Mongolia, my two months will consist of me working at an orphanage, where I will be handing out free hugs. Last but not least, I shall head to England to visit family and do a wee bit of tourism. What did you do after high school? After high school, I was unsure of what I wanted to do with my life, let alone study. All I knew was that I wanted to make a difference in this world and be the change. Thus, I chose to take a gap year, which is a year off between high school and college. I went to a gap year fair in Chicago, where gap year companies had booths of information. This helped me decide which company to use for my trip. After lots of research and decisions about where to go and what to do, my gap year began on July 12th. My itinerary read: Peru, South Africa, Cambodia, Thailand, Mongolia, and England. It was a dream come true and it still is. Did you go to college? If so, where? I will start university in fall 2012 after I return from my year abroad. I have applied to three colleges so far, but I am awaiting replies. I am still unsure about what I will study, but I am leaning towards environmental studies and international studies. How were your grades in high school? Bah Humbug. Did a certain teacher have a positive impact on your life? Yes! Many of them did! I adore Mrs. Brylski, Mrs. Stainton, and Mrs. Bader. Mrs. Brylski is a remarkable teacher who has such passion for teaching, learning, and understanding. I loved every class I had with her. She inspires me! Mrs. Stainton is such a sweet and caring friend of mine. She was my AP Environmental Science teacher and I loved and learned so much from this class, thanks to her. Mrs. Bader was my director for all of my dramatics. She was the Betty to my Blast and could never say my name correctly. Mrs. Bader is an incredibly kind woman who was a director, a teacher, and a counselor all for the price of one. Do you still talk to these teachers? I do! I am still in touch with all three of these teachers! I plan to Skype Mrs. Brylskis and Mrs. Staintons classes in the near future and I have sent Mrs. Bader a postcard to let her know that I am still alive(that was her biggest fear!). What is your favorite band? Mumford and Sons, Queen, The Killers, Adele, and Regina Spektor. What is your favorite TV show? The Office! What activities did you participate in during high school? Environmental Club, Drama Club, Diversity Club, and Dramatics. What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Mint Chocolate Chip! How did you use what you learned in Pulaski outside of school? While in the Amazon Rainforest, I found that much of what I learned in environmental science class became a reallife application opportunity. Watching sustainable environmental practices taking place and being able to be a part of the rainforests conservation whisked me back to the days of APES class and all its glory. Not to mention, coloring in the multitude of maps in Mrs. Brylskis geography class has actually enabled me to remember countriesand thus, travel to them! What, if anything, do you miss about the Pulaski area? The infamous snuggie of Mrs. Wojahn, the sweater-vest of Mr. McNabb, and the voice of Kevin Dunford in my 3rd hour class, I must admit that I miss Pulaski High and the wonderfully whimsical people in it. Although high school was never my favorite, reminiscing about it has made me come to the astonishing revelation that those prolonged four years brought me marvelous friendships, hilarious experiences, and memories that make every day a Raider day.

Students Liaison officer program begins at attend All-State grade schools

by Hannah Bloch Young and exceptionally talented, three Pulaski Community Middle School band students were nominated recently to participate in the upcoming All-State Junior Band Finale Concert, to be held on Jan. 21, 2012. The band, which is composed of 87 exceptional students from 38 schools across Wisconsin, the All-State Junior Band Concert allows middle school students from around the state to perform with other students of their same high level of skill and ability. This concert, which takes place on the campus of Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln High School at the Performing Arts Center, will feature the gifted PCMS students Dustin Wernicke, Nolan Kozlovsky and Evan Haas, along with their director Tim Kozlovsky. Kozlovsky recommends the top kids to perform in this concert. I give them an application and they fill out their experiences with solo ensemble and with other experiences, Kozlovsky said of the audition process. These past experiences, specifically the Wisconsin State Honors Band in October, gave these talented band students a boost of confidence needed when they will, once again, perform with other highly talented band students. Wernicke, a percussionist of three years, is excited about being selected once again for such an opportunity. I think its pretty special because it means Im a leader in the band, said Wernicke. Along with Wernicke, Evan Haas, a French horn player in 8th grade and Nolan Kozlovsky, a tuba player in the 7th grade, will play amongst the others during this challenging performance. Nolan Kozlovsky, tuba player of two years, is especially fond of band. I get to be more creative than other subjects and have fun, said Nolan Kozlovsky. For director Kozlovsky, the opportunity is enthusiastic to direct the performance this year, which also means that he will get to select the music the students will play. Mark your calendars for this upcoming Finale Concert Jan. 21, 2012, at the Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln High School at the Performing Arts Center at 7:00 p.m.
by Matt Zey For younger children, police officers are often seen as scary and intimidating, but the Pulaski Community School District is trying to change that image. Officer Jim Tinlin and Officer Angel Van Den Heuvel are teaming up to create awareness and promote incident prevention in the grade schools. Officer Van Den Heuvel, from the Hobart Police Department, serves as Hillcrest and Lannoyes part-time liaison officer while Officer Tinlin, of the Pulaski Police Department, serves as a full time liaison officer at Pulaski High School and visits Glenbrook, Sunnyside and Fairview Elementary schools, as well as Pulaski Community Middle School. Both officers give multiple presentations to various grades each month, hoping to raise awareness that officers are friendly and keep the community safe. For the youngest students, presentations center on being kind and caring, as well as a general introduction to police
officers and the equipment they carry. Older students learn about Charlie Check First, the new alternative to stranger danger. Students are also informed about the negative consequences of alcohol and other drugs. Special guest appearances by Raider, Pulaskis narcotics K9 dog, are expected to start this month, as well. This is the first year these presentations are pre-planned, in an effort by school administration to improve studentofficer relationships, similar to the goal of the Shop with a Cop program. This is also marks Van Den Heuvels first year working with the PCSD. According to Jenny Gracyalny, principal of Hillcrest Elementary, Officer Tinlins duties were too much for one person, so school officials met with the Hobart police department and acquired 120 hours of Officer Van Den Heuvels service. Ultimately, the PCSD hopes to create a better school environment through this preventative approach.
PHS teacher receives certification

by Erika Lambert Sixty-seven Wisconsin educators earned professional certification through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Of those that were awarded the certification, Pulaski High School teacher Jeff Stoeberl received the honor. Stoeberl has been teaching at Pulaski High School for 15 years, and wanted to improve his teaching skills by achieving the national certification. [I am] proud to advance professionally in my career of special education, said Stoeberl. In order for Stoeberl to achieve this award, he submitted four portfolio entries that featured teaching practice and six constructed response exercise that assess content knowledge. [Stoeberl is] well deserved, works extremely hard and he really cares about kids getting the skills to be successful. Its not just getting the diploma, its getting the right skills to be successful after high school,
said PHS co-principal John Matczak. Additionally he does a lot of things out of the school day that gets unnoticed; such as putting extra time in and tutoring, and connecting with teachers to help his students. Hes visible in the community as a coach, and overall his heart is in the right place. Throughout his time at PHS, Stoeberl has done quite a bit to help out with special education students. According to Stoeberal, watching his students progress academically and being part of that growth is what makes his job more enjoyable and motivates him to help them as much as possible during their time at PHS. PHS encourages more teachers to seek the development to this award. The district is committed to the development to great teachers. Teaching and learning evolves and we want our teachers to have best practices, said Matczak. Currently, there are only 818 teachers certified nationwide that hold the national certification.

While Baranczyk has remained busy at PHS, he would not do anything differently. I wouldnt change anything about my high school career, I wouldnt have grown to be who I am today if I did, Baranczyk said. In his free time, he enjoys fishing, mountain biking, muscle cars, four wheeling and snowmobiling. After high school, Baranczyk plans to attend UTI in Glendale Heights, Ill., for automotive/automotive performance and Ford Accelerated Credential Training.

Students take part in Wisconsin quiz bowl

by Matt Zey Eleven Glenbrook fifth graders teamed up to compete in the Thinking Cap Quiz Bowl on Nov. 15. The Thinking Cap is a statewide, 100-question, multiple-choice computer test. For students, the questions were sometimes difficult to answer, but they could usually come up with the right answer using teamwork. The fifth graders that made up the team at Glenbrook Elementary School included: Lexi Ireland, Owen Heinz, Michael Janes, Mariyah Bartz, Gabe Koepke, Ben Pamperin, Brian Whitney, Becca May, Danayah Cantoral, Logan Lukasik and Michael Berna. It was challenging. We all knew different parts so when we worked together it turned out really neat, said students Alexandria Ireland, Gabe Koepke and Becca May. According to Jill Miller, the Glenbrook teacher in charge of guiding the quiz bowl team,
participants were chosen by academic strength, teacher recommendation and test scores. The students had to answer questions from a variety of areas, including most curriculum areas. The questions required higher level thinking, and, not only did teams earn points by getting the correct answer, but they had to do it quickly as well. To improve the speed, the team was divided into real world roles, such as facilitator, time keeper, reader and technician. Students had the opportunity to practice a few weeks before the competition. One thing I liked was people got their own jobs, like the timer or mouse clicker, said student Gabe Koepke. As a result of their hard work and superb thinking skills, the Glenbrook team placed 11 out of 24 Wisconsin schools. They worked well as a team, the respect for each other was the best yet, said Miller.

Food science classes to be offered next year

Beginning with the 20122013 school year, a food science class will be offered at Pulaski High School through the FACS Department, pending as a science credit. Food science is a growing field of study that examines science concepts related specifically to food. Approximately 20 percent of the career options available to most students involve food production, distribution, storage and/or handling. For this reason, this new course is being offered to help students gain knowledge and skills in food science basics, including preparation, food selection, nutrition analysis, problem solving, and critical thinking. In addition, students will gain knowledge needed to evaluate future technological advances as they are applied to food, as well as consider a range of career opportunities related to biology and chemistry, while potentially earning a half science elective credit once approved the Department of Public Instruction. Additional information can be provided by contacting Liz Moehr at PHS.

One of the most difficult decisions that anyone has to make is their career selection. The Bureau of Labor Statistics claims the average person will have as many as 11 jobs in their lifetime. Making a decision about the rest of your life is a complicated process that every student has to try and find an answer to. Interests, skills, abilities, education, costs and potential earnings are all factors in this decision. If adults are struggling to answer this question, how can we expect high school students to have these answers and make these big decisions? Putting it simply, there is not a single solution that will fit every student. In January and February, Pulaski students will be registering for classes in the 2012-2013 school year. These course selections are critical decisions that will help students to make the right choices about their futures. It is imperative for students consider what their long-term career interests are so that they can explore those options now instead of down the road where it costs too much money to explore. Consult with counselors, teachers, and, if possible, people in the career field. Take a trip to the Pulaski High School Career Center and see what you can learn. Technology and Engineering Education one is way for students to build first-hand knowledge and experience about life and career choices. Students have the ability to explore a wide variety of career paths involving technology including small engines, engineering, manufacturing, programming, cabinetry, electronics, construction, design, and much more. First hand experiences offer students are the best ways to find out about their interests and talents. Get into the classes that are going to bring you as close to business and industry experience as possible. There are careers out there that fit everyone, and it is important for students to find out what fits them ebst.
by Ashlynn Estreen Pulaski High School Spanish teacher Katie Titler was recently published in the EdTech Education Journal. Her article focused on technology in the classroom. Titlers classroom at PHS is just one of the many smart classrooms in the Pulaski Community School District. The classrooms use tools like smart boards and tablet computers to help prepare students for the modern workplaces they will encounter after graduation. This is not the first time Titler has been published; she was previously published in the book Cell Phones in Education: A practical Guide for Educators, by Liz Kolb. Titlers most recently article focuses on introducing more technology into the classroom and educating students on how to deal with these ever-changing tools. Its exciting to see that strategies Im doing in school are helpful to students and can be shared with other educators, Titler said. According to PHS co-principal John Matczak, Titlers articles demonstrate her commitment and dedication to the PCSD. Her ability to use the most recent devices in her lesson plans will also go on to benefit her students in the longrun, Matczak added. Mrs. Titler is a part of the model classroom initiative at Pulaski High School, which is an opportunity for her to take risks with technology in order to teach 21st century skills, Matczak said. Our students must have these skills in order to compete in the global market no matter what career they choose. Although she is one of only a few teachers with a smart classroom in the district, Titler is not the first PCSD teacher who has been published. Many other teachers have been published previously as well.

Don Voelz: Fan for life

by Jordan Stiede and Casey Alger-Feser If you attend a Pulaski Red Raiders boys basketball game, there is a good chance you will see Donald Voelz watching the game from the stands. Ive been a Pulaski fan since I was probably five years old, said Voelz. It has been since my brother and sister were in school. Voelz attended Pulaski High School from 1974 to 1978. He sometimes goes to four basketball games in a week, and it doesnt always have to be a Pulaski boys game. Voelz attends girls games, too, and if Pulaski teams arent playing on a certain night, he will watch Seymour or Shawano. Also, as Voelz watches a game live, he often listens to a different high school basketball game on the radio. Voelz watches games with anybody and everybody, although his favorite spot to watch a game is right at center court. He thinks the best venue to watch a high school basketball game in Wisconsin is at Fred Kestly Field House in Pulaski. Voelz finds the addition of spotlights during the introductions a little different this year. His most memorable Pulaski game was in 1975 when the Pulaski boys team beat Appleton West in sectionals to go to state. Ron Ripley, one of Voelz favorite Pulaski players, was a member of the 1975 basketball team that made its first appearance at state in Madison. Appleton West was ranked number one in division one at the time. Some of his other favorite players to watch include: Rod Ripley, Dennis Bogacz, and Steve Shiny Szymanski. Rod Ripley, brother of Ron Ripley, went on to become a member of the University of Wisconsin-Madison basketball team after graduating from PHS. Bogacz, the leading scorer in Pulaski basketball history, is now a teacher at Glenbrook Elementary. Szymanski, a 1985 graduate, currently has a son on the junior

Zak Zablocki, a 2008 Pulaski High School graduate, hit a milestone in his basketball career at Silver Lake Collge in Manitowoc. On Dec. 10, 2011, he scored his 1,000th point in a home win, setting a record for the college. Zablocki has started all four years on the schools basketball team.

Boys swimming continues strong season

by Clarissa Grathen The Red Raider boys swim team is continuing their strong season as they made their way through numerous competitions and meets during December. Members of the team continue to focus on earning personal records in various events and posting strong times against their competition at meets. According to Coach Natasha Kempen, all of the team members have played an important role in the teams success and everything is coming together well. At their home meet on Tuesday, Dec. 20, against Ashwaubenon, swimmer Ryan Dooley improved his personal record in the 100 meter back stroke by over 14 seconds. Similarly, Jesse Gazella earned a personal record in the junior varsity 50 meter freestyle race, with a time of 32:37 seconds. For first year swimmer sophomore Ben Mlezvia,
the season has been all about getting in shape and improving his individual statistics. Since I have started swimming, I have improved my time and my form, Mlezvia said. As the season progresses, the team hopes to continue to build upon these achievements. For Kempen, the team plans to take a long-term approach, rather than focusing on specific meets, and work on personal improvement and effective swimming. The team has numerous upcoming meets and invitational competitions, including the Ashwaubenon Swim Invite on Jan. 6 at Lawrence University beginning at 5:00 p.m.; the Neenah Diving competition at Neenah High School on Jan. 7 at 10:00 a.m.; the Sheboygan North relays meet at Sheboygan North high school at 11:00 a.m.; and a meet against Sheboygan North at their high school on Jan. 10 at 5:30 p.m.
Continued from previous page varsity team at Pulaski. After watching basketball for more than 30 years, he has notices some changes in the games. Most notable, Voelz said the pace of basketball is definitely faster now. He thinks that this years boys basketball team is a lot like a Fred Kestly coached team. Both teams play very good defense, said Voelz. To beat Kestlys team, this years team would have to overcome the height of the Ripley boys. Regardless of how the Red Raiders are playing, however, dedicated, life-long fans like Voelz help to the Pulaski community is a very special place, and a great place for high school sports.

Gullickson wins WHJA championship trophy

by Mallory Mayer Pulaski High School senior Rachel Gullickson and her horse Suspicious Minds (also known as Cosmo) recently won the Wisconsin Hunter and Jumper Association championship trophy at the competition in Waukesha, WI. The WHJA sponsors spring and fall United States Equestrian Foundation-rated shows and recognizes over thirty additional shows each year. The organization, established in 1964, also supports the growing hunter/ jumper community throughout Wisconsin. During the contest in late November, Gullickson led a dozen competitors from throughout the state in the Low Jumper category with 187 points. While Gullickson participated in the event on a Saturday, she received the news about her top finish while in class at PHS. I was in the choir room on my laptop looking at my score and when I realized I had won and I sort of silently screamed until Ms. [Erin] McClure came in and asked if I was ok, said Gullickson. It was an accomplishment Ive been trying to achieve for many years. We had a great year and were on a roll. She also earned Reserve Champion in the Child-Adult
Jumper category. Gullickson has been riding horses for eight years at Circle E Equestrian Center in the rural Seymour-Pulaski area and has one horse: 15 year-old Appendix-Quarter-horse named Cosmo. Her trainer is Deb Nellis. Together, Gullickson and Cosmo have been competing as team for five years. Suspicious Minds is his show name and Cosmo is his barn name said Gullickson. My parents have had horses since I was born. Riding horses has been a major part of her life since she was younger, and she has remained dedicated to the sport. You really have to be extremely dedicated and clear your schedule during riding season, said Gullickson. You basically have no life during the summer. Gullickson will now go on to compete in the Winter Show at Circle E Equestrian Center in January 2012. When she is not riding her horse, Gullickson is very involved in numerous clubs and activities at PHS. Currently, she serves as President of the PHS Student Council and Choir. She also participates in the annual musical performance and state solo and ensemble competition in the musical theater category. Upon graduating from PHS in May, she plans on attending college for musical theater.

Borseth played for the University of Louisville after graduating from PHS in 1995. While in high school, Borseth played as both a punter and receiver for the Red Raiders. He excelled not only in sports, but also in academics. He dealt with computer programming and was an excellent student, said Phil Morgan, former PHS physical education teacher and varsity football coach for the Red Raiders. After graduating from the University of Louisville in 1999, Borseth went on to try his hand at professional football. He tried out for the Green Bay Packers, the Indianapolis Colts and the Cincinnati Bengals, before being picked up by the New England Patriots, where he played for two years.
Besides playing in the NFL, Borseth was also a head punting instructor for the Dick Pierce Kicking Camps, and a high school football coach for Trinity High School and St. Xavier High School before moving back to the Pulaski area. Now that Borseth has returned to Pulaski, he is excited to get involved in the community once again. According to current PHS Athletic Director Jerad Marsh, Borseth is the first PHS graduate to play in the NFL. However, previous student Jairus Byrd, who went on to graduate from a high school in Missouri, played for the Buffalo Bills after graduating from, and playing for, the University of Oregon.
Business
Mobile tanning business opens
by Jessica Skinkis A new spray tanning business, Glow to Go, recently opened in Pulaski. The business, owned by Kim Burkel, offers its clients the opportunity to get a bronze glow without ever getting into a traditional, heated tanning bed. Glow to Go provides clients with the opportunity to tan their face, legs or entire body. Additionally, since the business it mobile, it has no permanent location, and, instead, can come directly to its clients. Burkel decided to open the tanning businesses because she felt it offered individuals a healthier way to tan, and often takes less time than traditional tanning beds. Since the business is mobile, it also saves customers gas and time by coming to their location at a time that works best for them. To make an appointment with Glow to Go, call Burkel, the companys only employee, at (920)619-2407, or email her at kburkel@new.rr.com. Appointments can be made Monday through Thursday between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., Fridays between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
People are definitely a companys greatest asset. It doesnt make any difference whether the product is cars or cosmetics. A company is only as good as the people it keeps. Mary Kay Ash

Pulaski Area Historical Society adds to area history

by Sam Schwartz During the summer of 2011, the Pulaski Area Historical Society (PAHS) began construction on an old-style family kitchen to add to the overall historical feel of the Pulaski Historical Museum. The kitchen, which will be designed to model the types of kitchens commonly found in the Pulaski area roughly 100 years ago, was designed to bring more visitors to the museum. . Almost immediately, PAHS Vice President Larry Puzen put the idea into effect and decided to start construction. While the
kitchen is still in the process of being built, it already has many realistic and common aspects of an old-style kitchen. We hope through the completion of the old-style kitchen that more community members will be drawn into the historical society and will in turn see the essence of what our history has to offer here at the historical society, said Puzen. Currently, the kitchen includes a wood stove, installed cabinets, a 100 year-old mock door, an installed window, oil lamp, old table and chairs and a slop pail. PAHS members are also accepting donations to the kitchen that can either be donated completely to the historical society or just loaned to the kitchen to be returned at any time. According to Puzen, he believes the new kitchen will draw other donations as well to the PAHS because this cause will allow people to donate other pieces of Pulaski history that they may not have use for anymore, but that still have sentimental and historical value. Puzen continues to work about one day a week on the project, and plans to add new additions to the kitchen as donations come in. Overall, the PAHS is extremely excited about the kitchen. According the Puzen, he feels it was a great way to get kids involved in the history of Pulaski. I hope to help people truly enjoy the society and Pulaskis history the way I do already do because our town has such an amazing history, said Puzen. Presently, the kitchen is missing one very key piece: an old-style faucet to be installed into the sink counter-top to finish off the sink and cleaning area. The historical society asks that if
Pulaski News
-Page 16
anyone has the piece to fulfill the dimensions and style the counter top needs, please contact the historical society about the possibility of donating the faucet piece. This faucet piece is under the name of an Antique WL Davey Farmers Cast Iron 2A Water Pump. For more information about the PAHS, call (920)822-5856 or (920)-865-7875. The museum is located at 129 W. Pulaski St. in downtown Pulaski, and is open to the public, free of charge. The museum does accept donations, however.
