Malcheskis to receive Community Service Award


By Kelsey Wargo The Pulaski Area Chamber of Commerce announced their 2011 winners of the Community Service Achievement Award. John and Laurine Malcheski were given the award because of their outstanding community service. Both for their community work, but also John for his international volunteer work as his main passion. John has served with the Friends of Haiti organization (FOH) board, and has been paramount in raising money to help advance land and farming practices, medical missions, education, trade, and much needed basics (such as water to parts of Haiti.) John feels that helping the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere is a priority. John has also helped out many countries through Volunteers Overseas Cooperative Assistance (VOCA), such as; Nigeria, Macedonia, Siberia, Kazakhstan, Egypt, Estonia, Macedonia, Armenia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. Locally, John has shown much effort and commitment into his community service. He has dedicated much time and fundraising efforts for the Assumption B.V.M. School and parish. He also has been a long standing loyal member of The Pulaski Chamber of Commerce, the Holy Name Society, and the Knights of
Columbus. John has also served as an agricultural advisor to both past Wisconsin state officials (while in office) Bob Kasten and Toby Roth, being an outstanding local farmer himself. Laurine (Renee) Malcheski has worked as a volunteer with Assumption B.V.M. School for over 30 years and St. Marys Hospital for about 10 years. She is a member of the Council of Catholic Women at ABVM, ABVM veggie stand volunteer, ABVM Classic Dinner Auction volunteer, and more for many, many years. She also has really gotten John involved with Haiti. She told him, John, you need to help these people! Laurine is the wind beneath his wings for most of his volunteerism.

Pulaski Community Middle School has been awarded a $20,000 STEM Implementation grant to fund the new Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Gateway to Technology pre-engineering program. The first year award of $15,000 will support teacher training, laptops, supplies and equipment. The second year award of $5,000 will fund additional equipment. PLTW is the nations leading provider of rigorous and innovative STEM education for middle and high schools. The programs curriculum is hands-on and emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, innovation and real-world problem solving in math, science and technical education. Developed with input from teachers, school administrators, university educators, and engineering professionals, PLTW puts Pulaski at the forefront of school districts providing engineering opportunities to its students. The Gateway to Technology (GTT) program is an activitiesoriented program designed to challenge and engage the natural curiosity and imagination of middle school students. Begin-

ning with the 2011-2012 school year all sixth and seventh grade students will take the Design and Modeling unit. This unit uses solid modeling software as part of the design process. Utilizing this design approach, students under-

PHS Project Lead the Way Program becomes nationally recertified


Green Technology Engineering Competition. There are currently six courses offered at PHS within the PLTW program. The foundation courses are Introduction to Engineering and Design (IED), Principles of Engineering (POE), and Digital Electronics (DE). The entry level course is IED, which exposes students to the design process, research and analysis, teamwork, communication methods, global and human impacts, engineering standards and technical documentation. The next level course is POE. Throughout this course, students develop problem solving, critical-thinking, and design skills by exploring various engineering systems and manufacturing processes. The last foundation course, Digital Electronics, exposes students to the process of combinational and sequential logic design, teamwork, communication methods, engineering standards and technical documentation in the electronic world. In addition to the three foundation courses, PHS offers three other PLTW courses. Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) and Civil Engineering and Architecture (CEA) are specialty courses which are offered every other year (CEA is offered this year, while CIM will be offered next year). CEA allows students to study the various aspects of civil engineering and architecture, which go into the design and development or redevelopment of a property. The key concepts covered in CIM are: computer modeling, Computer Numeric Control (CNC) equipment, Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software, robotics and flexible manufacturing systems. The capstone Engineering Design and Development (EDD) course has teams of students researching, designing, testing and prototyping a solution to an openended engineering problem. Students work with engineers and area businesses to successfully complete their projects. On May 22, at 5 p.m. in the Ripley Auditorium, EDD students will present their projects to the public. These courses are currently taught by three instructors. Harley Griesbach teaches IED and CIM. Troy Hassman teaches IED, DE, and CEA. And John Pitzen teaches POE and EDD. Next year, the Gateway to Technology (GTT) curriculum will be taught at Pulaski Community Middle School. Through hands-on activities, GTT is designed to challenge and engage the natural curiosity and imagination of middle school students. The PLTW program would not be possible without the support of many individuals, local businesses, our partnership team, and the school district. Without their support, PLTW would not be possible. The technology and engineering education department looks forward to continued success and improvement of the PLTW program in the school district.

a mother, farm wife, librarian, local activist, puppeteer, and childrens author. Lee lived fully and joyfully with cancer for 15 years. I wanted a way to honor Lee, and this powerful project is a testament, not just to Lees courage in the face of life-threatening illness, but also to all those who are or have faced catastrophic illness, commented Sandra Shackelford, a life-long friend of Lee and the projects visionary. Lees life is celebrated in three mosaics created by Shackelford. The project began in March 2010 and the moveable Memorial Wall of mosaics was unveiled in October 2010. A local carpenter, Larry Peterson, constructed the structure that holds the mosaics. The Memorial Wall was created under the instruction of Margy Cottingham, a local mosaic artist and sponsored by

John Pitzen, PLTW Teacher; Troy Hassman, PLTW Teacher; Diane Schmidtke, Career and Technical Education Coordinator; Steve Salter, Wisconsin PLTW Director; Marvin L. Bollman, Wisconsin Associate PLTW Director; Harley Griesbach, PLTW Teacher; and PLTW students Christian Jabkowski and Mackenzie Wozniak proudly display the PLTW banner.

Beacon House. Consisting of 24 10 x 10 inch mosaics created by people affected by cancer and other illnesses, the Memorial Wall uses creative self-expression as a powerful vehicle for holistic healing of body, mind, and spirit. The Memorial Wall project continues with another series of workshops for individuals, family members, or friends affected by the experience of cancer or other illnesses. These additional 24 mosaics will complete a second side of the Memorial Wall, which will be unveiled when these are completed. The Memorial Wall will be on display in other locations in Green Bay throughout the year.

Knights of Columbus hold Pass, Dribble, and Shoot Competition

John Matczak, Mel Lightner, Barb McKeefry, John Pitzen, Steve Salter, Troy Hassman, Don Wengerter, Marv Bollman, Terry Hanstedt, Harley Griesbach, Diane Schmidtke, Jerad Marsh, and others participated in the roundtable discussion of Pulaski High Schools Project Lead the Way program.

Pulaski High School (PHS) has become one of the first schools in Wisconsin to become recertified for the Project Lead the Way program. During the extensive review of the program, the analysts suggested that the school apply for the National PLTW Model School. On February 16, Steve Salter and Marv Bollman, from Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), conducted a review of the PLTW program. The interview team visited PLTW classrooms to observe the equipment, facilities and student interactions. In addition, they interviewed students, teachers, counselors, administrators, partnership team members, and PLTW parents to validate the effectiveness of the program. PLTW prepares students to be the most innovative and productive leaders in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Students who enroll in PLTW courses achieve signifi-

cantly higher scores in reading, mathematics, and science. Also, studies have indicated that they earn higher GPAs as freshmen in college than non-PLTW students. PLTW alumni have a higher retention rate in college engineering, science, and related programs than non-PLTW students (data from PLTW.org website). Pulaski High School PTLW students receive indexed grades in five of the six engineering courses. Also, students can earn college credit through MSOE. This rigorous curriculum allows advancement at not only the high school level but also the college level. Students have used their knowledge to compete in engineering competitions. Last year, three PLTW students (Chris Shaw, Tim Stone, and Marlo Vercauteren) took second at the State SkillsUSA Engineering Competition. The previous year, two PLTW students (Andrew Przybylski and Zach Peterson) took second at the National SkillsUSA

The first place winners from the Pass Dribble Shoot event were Taylor Olson, Derek Shaw, Madeline Christenson, Nathan Mark, Lily Ann Tomashek, Kendall Klingeisen, and Kendall Kaczorwski, who are pictured in the front row. The back row consists of Hunter Downey, Brooke Clark, Trevor Stiede, Griffin Robaidek, and Connor Heise.

By Brett Janssen On March 9, kids from ages 5 to 12 participated in the Knights of Columbus Pass, Dribble, and Shoot Competition. Awards were given out to the first through fourth place finishers. Participants were awarded

points for dribbling through cones in minimal time, making shots from distances that were appropriate for their age group, and hitting targets with bounce and chest passes. Pulaski High School LEO Club members assisted at the event.

for prevention. They also recommend quitting smoking, drinking less alcohol, and reducing the amount of processed meats while increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Some symptoms to be aware of, according to the Prevent Cancer Foundation, are vomiting, unexplained weight loss, lethargy, irregular or bloody bowel movements, and abdominal problems. The Foundation suggest that anyone experiencing these

Cancer awareness continues through March


By Cassie Zahn, Sting Cancer Publicist Despite the many ways a community can become divided by its political, economic, and social views, it can still stand as a united front when it comes to its efforts to reduce the effects of cancer. March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, and the first step in minimizing the effects of colon cancer is to know as much as possible about it. Colon cancer is cancer of the colon or rectum and it affects both men and women. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, it is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States and because a persons risk increases with age, over 90 percent of its cases are diagnosed in patients over the age of 50. They also estimate that if everyone over the age of 50 were screened on a regular basis, over 60 percent of deaths caused by colon cancer could be prevented. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends increasing exercise and maintaining a healthy weight as the first means of prevention against colon cancer but heavily emphasizes that regular screenings are the most effective means

symptoms seek help from his or her health care professional, especially if there is a history of colon cancer in the family. Treatment for colon cancer includes surgery and chemo or radiation therapy if necessary. It is the hope of Pulaski Sting Cancer that we, not just as a high school but as an entire community, become as educated as possible about different types of cancer and means of prevention in order to reduce its impact upon our lives.

Sippls travel to Haiti with a mission


By Christopher Bania Tracy Sippl and her daughter Kayla will travel with a medical team from Friends of Haiti and other volunteers on a mission trip to Haiti. Sippl is a Speech and Language Pathologist at Hillcrest Elementary. Her daughter Kayla is a senior at Seymour High School and aspires to be a doctor. Due to this and the fact that both of them have always wanted to go on a mission trip together, they will be flying in for a one week trip to the ravaged country in early April. It will be the first time either of them will visit Haiti, and therefore there are many costs associated with the trip. Besides the usual airfare, they also need passports, immunizations, and certain food. As far as preparation for their work, Sippl says that much of the training for their work will be on the spot, due to an unpredictable schedule. Sippl says that the main work will involve helping civilians get medical attention for various problems. The people come voluntarily to get help, and who and how many people will come will be unpredictable. Along with their humanitarian work, they plan to take many photos, and, when they come back, they plan to share their experience in Haiti to spread the word of the need for help (volunteers, financial need, etc.) Sippl hopes to open the eyes of her family members and people in the community, citing the need to understand the differences between living in the United States and a third world country in order to be grateful and wanting to help. For the children in Haiti, they might play games with stones they find on the ground to keep themselves occupied, says Sippl. My son often plays video games. Hearing about Haiti could be an eye-opener for him and others as to different peoples lives and what they value. Another aspect of the trip will be its coincidental time to taking place just 15 months after the 7.0 earthquake that demolished much of the already damaged country. An estimated 316,000 people died, along with 300,000 injured and over three million made homeless due to the quake. The country today is still suffering from the after-effects of the earthquake, with much of the relief and recovery at a standstill for various reasons, including the lack of following through on relief efforts from aiding countries and the government. Given the current state of the Haiti, there is no doubt that mission trips like these are just as important now as they have ever been.

Maple Grove meets in March


By Kayla Gracyalny, Club Reporter On March 11, Maple Grove Countryside 4-H Club held its monthly meeting at Pulaski High School. Members that went on the second tubing trip to Oconto Falls Hill in Oconto came up and told the rest of the club about their experience. Many of the members said that it was fun, although the hill was slow that day, and they didnt go quickly down the hill. At the February meeting, the club had a White Elephant Auction, and we raised a total of $205. On March 5, older youth members Kayla Gracyalny, Shianna Gracyalny, Laura Aprill, and Derek Leidel got to present the check on WBAY for the Cerebral Palsy Telethon. After covering all old business, members who attended other county events came up and told everyone else what they participated in. Many members attended a Livestock meeting, Shooting Sports, and Visual Arts project meetings. In years past, club members have collected food for a needy family at Easter time. Members

are always willing to donate for this. Some members held a discussion and told newer members why its a good way to help our community. After discussing this, Austin Kruger made a motion to do this and Dustin Graf seconded it. Members were then told to bring the food that will be donated to the April meeting. Also in years past, the club has done a spring activity. Mostly the spring activity has been bowling and a pizza party. This year, the club members will be making tie blankets and then donating them to the Red Cross. Also the club will be visiting the nursing home in Pulaski. This summer, the club is planning on having another softball team. All members are able to participate except for Cloverbuds. Practices and games will be held on Mondays, starting May 23. Following all meeting information, people with birthdays in March received their cupcakes. Dustin Graf made a motion to adjourn the meeting and Destin Wernicke seconded it. Following the meeting, there were snacks in the commons. The next meeting will be April 14 in the high school library.

Learn to Hunt Turkey Program needs your help again Pulaski

alumnus achieves great heights

Last years Learn to Hunt program was a blast, and the NWTF/ FFA hopes for even more fun this year!

Submitted by Terry Erdmann There were many smiles from this past years Spring Pulaski NWTF / FFA Learn to Hunt Turkey Hunt Program participants and their families. Forty one local children participated in the annual event, with 50 volunteer mentors from our community and almost 100 Landowners who helped the new young hunters learn the ins and outs of harvesting Americas

most elusive upland game bird! Overall, 19 children were lucky enough to harvest a Tom gobbler, but everyone had a wonderful experience that they will never forget! This year, the new hunters will be having their four-hour spring turkey workshop and shooting range practice on March 27, and their hunt will be on April 2, 3, 9, and 10. If you are an experienced

spring turkey hunter or are a landowner that would like to help the kids, please contact Pulaski FFA / NWTF Learn to Hunt CoCoordinator, Terry Erdmann at tgerdmann@pulaski.k12.wi.us, or call (920) 822-6785, or join us on Facebook at Learn to Hunt to let us know how you could help or participate in some special way! One other special event will

be our Annual Parent, Child, Mentor and Landowner Appreciation Luncheon which will be April 3 from 12 to 2 p.m. at the Chase Town Hall. Special thanks go out to Omnova Corporation, the Pulaski Area Turkey Chaser NWTF organization, MCL of Pulaski, and the Pulaski FFA for their help, guidance and donations to the program!

Graduate Luxemburg-Casco High School Employment: Assistant Professor, University of WI Green Bay

Board Position for Zone 6 because I have the experience and education in education systems, assessment and benchmarking, and funding streams. Excellent schools are critical to the health of the community and I would like to ensure students develop into citizens who are active and engaged. These are particularly trying times with the erosion of state funding for schools and shifting of the burden of costs to local tax levy. Unfortunately this means making difficult choices about program funding. It is critical that consideration be given to sustainability of programs because it is more difficult to eliminate existing programs. The School Board needs to ensure all children are ready to learn and ensure students are ready to enter the workforce and/or continue their education.

Community Involvement:

Ensuring access to up-to-date technology. Expand offerings of on-line and other distance- learning opportunities. While the Pulaski students had the highest average ACT composite score, the number of students taking Advanced Placement courses/exams is lower than 5 of 7 schools in our area. Establish benchmarks beyond state mandated testing (WKCE) to monitor progress and ensure continued skill development. Ensure open lines of communication between schools, teachers, students, and parents.

portunities afforded for involvement in clubs and sports related activities help provide for a well rounded student. The Pulaski music program is second to none.

Positive Points in the Pulaski School District:

Why am I running for a position on the Pulaski School Board?


I am running for the School

Greater accountability and financial transparency of school budgets. Board members must consider sustainability/ tax implications when making spending decisions, consider DPI School Finance Reform initiatives, and keep abreast of legislation impacting school funding. Maintaining rigorous academic standards and quality course offerings with reduced state funding.

As a resident of the district for the past 18 years, I can honestly say I feel blessed to send my children to Pulaski schools. My family has benefitted from the challenging academic curricula as well as the PACE community programming. The fact that we consistently score above the state average in every subject of the WKCE exams and the average ACT composite score was the highest in the area demonstrates excellence in education. The op-

1. Improved benchmarking and use of data to support continued achievement. 2. Improved web-based tools to ensure seamless education and communication between parents, students, teachers, and administrators. 3. Greater transparency of the budget. Job of the School Board Member: The job of the school board is to attend board meetings regularly, review materials in advance of the meeting, ask critical questions, seek clarity before voting, keep abreast of state educational mandates and approve policies that ensure district operations are in compliance. Perhaps the most challenging responsibility is development of the school budget based on the educational and strategic plans of the district. Among other things, board members need to maintain communication with

Notable Accomplishments: I would say raising a

family while working full time and pursuing a PhD from Marquette University was quite an accomplishment. I am also very proud of my involvement in the United Way of Brown County and other service organizations. My work with the Brown County UW Extension providing Poverty Simulations to many local organizations including the Ashwaubenon School District also demonstrates my commitment to ensuring all are provided the opportunity to succeed.

the district. It acts in an advisory capacity to the superintendent to ensure students gain the skills necessary for employment and higher education. What do you feel are your qualifications for running? I am a good listener. I work well with a team. I have an enormous desire to do what is right for our kids. Since my appointment to the board in October, I have attended the Wisconsin Association for School Boards convention and workshops and received training on the national core curriculum standards from CESA 7. I have participated in school board deliberations on various issues. I have been trained as a lawyer and work in public finance. Whenever the board moves to deliberate on a proposed bond offering, my background could provide the board with additional support to analyze proposals, schedules and other materials presented to the district to achieve the best result. In addition, I have worked as a juvenile prosecutor in both delinquency and child protection matters. Last, I serve on the boards for two universities which provides me with insight of higher education that could be valuable for our districts students. When and where were you born? I was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1960. What community activities are you actively involved in? University of Wisconsin Green Bay - Council of Trustees Illinois State University College of Applied Science and Technology Deans Advisory Board The New North, Inc. Board of Directors St. Marys Hospital - A Womans Place - Advisory Board Pulaski Community School District Excellence Task Force What notable accomplishments would you like to mention that you have achieved in your life?

Donsia Strong Hill 1002 Riverdale Dr. 920-494-1990 Education: Lindblom Technical High School, Diploma; Illinois State University, Bachelor of Science, Home Economics; John Marshall Law School, Juris Doctorate. Employment: Self-employed attorney, small business-owner Why do you wish to serve on the Pulaski Community District Board of Education? I believe that a strong and vibrant school district plays an extremely important role in our community. I want to serve on behalf of our children and adult learners to support this vision, empower staff and leadership to do so. What will be the primary issues of concern if you are elected to the Board? The Pulaski School District has a tradition of benefitting our children, a reputation of educational excellence and community pride. The current proposed budget reductions challenge our school district in ways not before imagined. We face the loss of excellent veteran teachers, the continuing need to realign our curriculum, and rapidly deteriorating facilities. In spite of these challenges, my focus has to be on sustaining and improving student achievement. I would advocate to creatively meet these challenges by empowering staff to innovate, further exploring the appropriate use and deployment of technology and taking a balanced, fiscally responsible approach to addressing needed capital projects. Another area of interest is the counseling that district should offer students. Whether it is transitioning students from school to work or from high school to the college of their choice, I would advocate for administration to ensure student counseling services meet these needs. If we do what is in the best interest of kids, we will be doing what is in the best interest of our community. What do you see as some of the positive points in the Pulaski School District? When my family moved to the area 16 years ago, we did so because of the reputation of the Pulaski school district. When our family later relocated to Hobart, we moved where we could remain in the Pulaski school district. It is important to me, and to my family that the Pulaski community supports the schools and the schools support the people. I have had three sons attend district schools; no two with the same learning style. However, each one was met where he was and supported to succeed. The Pulaski School District is not afraid to take a critical look at itself and evolve our strength. What would you like to see changed in the Pulaski Community School District? I would like to see the facilities better maintained as well as provide more access to the various schools sports facilities to insure continued community support. I would also like to see optimal utilization of existing facilities before the school district takes on development of new facilities. What do you believe the job of the Board of Education involves? The Board has the responsibility of advocating for kids, determining policy for the conduct and management of our schools, providing leadership and community oversight by serving as a bridge from the local tax community to

Keith Chambers 421 Nancy Lane Pulaski, WI 54162 kelychambers@netnet.net Education: Pulaski High School 1973 Post High School Course Work Business Management Employment: Co-owner Wichlacz Lumber Why are you running for a position as Village of Pulaski President? I have held the Village President position for the last six years. I have seen what its been and what it could be. I am currently working with many knowledgeable people within other municipalities to compare situations and possibilities for the future. I have the knowledge, dedication and willingness to work with everyone to make our Village a place where we all take pride in living in the Village of Pulaski. What will the primary issues of concern if you are elected as Village of Pulaski President? With the yet to be adopted Wisconsin budget, my primary concerns are a moving target. I will however list my main ideas that I do not see as changing. That no matter where the budget takes us, we should do everything in our power to keep our employees employed. We may need to adjust work shifts and reduce some repairs or services offered by the Village. No employee will receive overtime pay. We need the Village to go ahead with the new Village Hall project. Right now is the time to take advantage of the low interest rates and availability of contractors. If we dont do something now rather than later, those two factors along with needed repairs to keep the current building in operation will end up costing the

Village more in the long run. Part of cost reduction is in gaining efficiencies in the way staff personnel performs their jobs. Under current conditions it will be almost impossible to gain any ground in that area due to the existing layout of the building. Our needs have dramatically changed over the years in relation to what the building was designed to accomplish. What do you see as some of the positive points in Pulaski? Pulaski has a small town atmosphere which more and more people are looking for. It leaves a sense of security and community togetherness. We have a strong and dedicated school district for our children. Area service clubs sponsor one of the largest polka festivals in the country which brings in new people each year to experience the small town festival atmosphere. We make people feel good. What would you like to see changed in Pulaski? Id like to see everyone pull together for the benefit of the community. MeaningI would like the community to take a moment and become involved, do some research, listen or even read what is going on in our community. If everyone becomes informed, we all would work together and create a closer community to ensure the Villages future. We need to make our community a positive experience in every way. What do you think the job of Village of Pulaski President involves? As Village President, a person should be able to communicate, organize and prioritize job functions. In Pulaskis case this includes some duties that may fall on other positions which the Village currently does not have. This position must be able to see the future, bring the people together and promote new business and families. What do you feel are your qualifications for running? Ive been on the Village Board for 18 years with the past 6 years as President. Ive seen a lot of change in local government over that time frame. I have worked

Ronald Kryger 272 Summit St. 920-822-5327 Education: Assumption BVM, Pulaski High School Why are you running for a position as Village of Pulaski President? Pulaski has always been a cooperative forward-moving community working together for the taxpayers. The village will face challenges that will require revision, leadership, and professionalism. We will work closely with the village board to attain the goals of the community. What will the primary issues of concern if you are elected as Village of Pulaski President? Top issues facing the Village and what to do: street repair, high property taxes, space in village hall, parks improvement, downtown vitalization are the main issues of vital importance. There are many things to be openly discussed before hard decisions must be made. Cost: We must establish the difference between wants, present and future needs, and affordability. We cannot buy above budget because it would be nice and interest is cheap. Residents must join in with the village trustees and explore and discuss economically feasible solutions that are affordable to our taxpayers. Pulaski has proven time and again that it can, it will work together to accomplish its goals. Vote and lets start. What do you see as some of the positive points in Pulaski? The village has grown with the cooperation of all of its residents. It has always been communityminded citizens bonding together for a common goal for the betterment of Pulaski. What would you like to see changed in Pulaski? The village board and the taxpayers need all the information

available for them to make proper choices for the village. We need new ideas, sharing of ideas, and respect for the people offering the ideas. I will work for more open government to get more city participation. What do you think the job of Village of Pulaski President involves? The village president must get out and meet with the people. Pulaski is where quality living begins. The village president must coordinate the efforts of its residents and its board. It must be open to all. What do you feel are your qualifications for running? I have experience, a background of management, a vision for Pulaski of reduced debt, concern for the people, and most of all a desire to work for and with the village board and all Pulaski residents. When and where were you born? I was born November, 1 1940 in Pulaski, Wisconsin. What community activities are you actively involved in? I am a member of the Knights of Columbus, the Holy Name Society, a charter member of Friends of NEW Charities serving as treasurer, a member of the Commission on Aging, Treasurer of McDonalds Breakfast Club and formerly: Brown County Planning Commission, Assumption BVM President, Assumption BVM Trustee Secretary, Pulaski Parks Committee, Boy Scouts Executive Committee, Past secretary of NEW Paramedic Rescue Squad, Pulaski Village President ten years and Pulaski Village trustee nine years. What notable accomplishments would you like to mention that you have achieved in your life? I worked with the village board to complete a new water tower which improved health and safety to the community. I worked with the village residents to bring inhouse paramedic services to our area. Pulaski has worked together to get medical doctors, doctors of dentistry, and doctors of chiropractics, and doctors of veterinarics to our community. Additionally, park facilities were added as was Frisbee golf and a fishing pond and dock facilities and playgrounds. Pulaski residents can stitch their chests out with pride. A lot was accomplished and we can again work together to accomplish more. Please indicate any additional comments you may have? Community effort is need for the village. We will need added participation and interest. In the past we have worked together; we did accomplish our goals to show care and concern for all. A change is needed for this to happen. Vote on April 5. Please get out and vote!

My main concern is to maintain the highest quality of services available and yet be fiscally sound.

We were able to maintain all of these levels with the most minimal level of tax increases.

I am a life long resident of the community. i have been able to see how the Village is run from the outside as a 28year employee, and now from the inside as an active board member. It is this balance that I bring to the table that makes me a good candidate to continue my service to the community. As they say, you cant plan the future if you dont know your past. I have lived in this community my entire life, and have spent the better portion of my life protecting and serving the residents in this community.

I lived Pulaski for 37 years and have had two daughters graduate from Pulaski High School. Before we can go ahead for new faculties we need to look at new industry first and have an open mind as to where and how to spend the taxpayers money on large projects.

Ive attended the meetings and think I have enough people who want to see a change on board.

What do you see as some of the positive points in Pulaski? First and foremost

is the school system in Pulaski. That is a compliment to everyone in our school district to be so supportive of our children. The second positive thing is the citizens of our community and our area. They help each other, roll up their sleeves and pitch in when there is a job to get done. Their work ethics are the best I have ever seen.

One positive point about Pulaski is that it is proud of its ethnic heritage, yet residents remain open to other cultures and to community newcomers. Another positive is the value Pulaski residents place on the education of both children and adults a commitment to lifelong learning evident in its excellent schools, library, and community education program.

Past service on nonprofit boards Northeast Wisconsin Community Action Program, Wolf River Habitat for Humanity, Shawano Area Chamber of Commerce, and Shawano Area Community Foundation.

What would you like to see changed in Pulaski?

What community activities are you actively involved in?

What do you feel are your qualifications for running?

I was appointed to a vacancy on the Village Board in August 2008. I have enjoyed serving the citizens of Pulaski and wish to continue.

I feel I am qualified to serve as a trustee. I was a Police Chief for 22 years. I am a Certified Public Manager and I enjoy serving the community.

I feel we need to find more meaningful ways for citizens including youth and elderly to participate in Pulaskis governance and community development. As taxpayers, we cant expect government to do everything that is needed to make a great community. Citizens might be more willing to volunteer their time and talent in bettering the community if sincerely invited to do so.

I am currently active in Friends of Haiti projects, sponsored locally by Assumption BVM Church. I serve on the board of directors of Northeast Wisconsin Land Trust, a group that works for permanent protection of natural lands in cooperation with private landowners.

What do you think the job of Pulaski Trustee involves?

What notable accomplishments would you like to mention that you have achieved in your life?

There have been tremendous upheaval and changes lately in both the way private companies and local government will have to operate to deal with the future. As a member of the village board it will be our responsibility to adapt to those changes in a fiscally responsible manner. I will do everything I can to move forward without depleting the reserves the village worked for so many years to put the village on solid financial footing. I have been in favor of moving forward to plan a new village hall. The need has been there for many years. The conditions have hampered the ability of our employees to work efficiently and productively. If the voters tell the board No, do not build a new village hall, I intend on following their wishes. The needs will still be there, we will have to deal with them as best we can.

I was born in Wausau, Wisconsin. I lived in the Town of Weston until I graduated from D.C. Everest High School.

What community activities are you actively involved in?

Lately most of my community involvement revolves around my responsibilities as a village board member. A past involvement that Im very proud of was being one of the founding members of the Pulaski Pride Committee. Wow, they got a lot of very positive things accomplished.

I am running for Pulaski Village Trustee because I believe I can contribute to making Pulaski a better place to live, work and raise a family. As a 10-year resident I am a relative newcomer, but I think that having lived and worked elsewhere I bring fresh perspective to what the village can become.

I think the job of Village Trustee involves: due diligence in analyzing all sides of public issues, maintaining open communication and trust with citizens, managing taxpayer money as responsibly as we would our own personal money, and setting aside personal agendas to serve the greater good.

What do you feel are your qualifications for running?

What will be the primary concerns if you are elected as Village of Pulaski Trustee?

What notable accomplishments would you like to mention that you have achieved in your life?

What do you see as some of the positive points in Pulaski?

I am proud of what I accomplished as police chief. Im proud to have been President of the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association, and proud to have been President of the Wisconsin Society of Certified Public Managers. Personally Im proudest for being a good father and husband.

My primary issues of concern if elected would be Decision on a new municipal service building. I believe we should construct a new municipal building to alleviate crowding and to improve customer service, but that we should do so in a manner that reduces annual operating costs of the building by being more energy-efficient for example. I also feel it should be built in or near the downtown, in order to complement existing and future business and to create a focal point for the community. State revenue sharing cuts. If enacted, these cuts will require that we re-examine priorities among services provided by the Village, and that we then determine what levels of service to provide. I would ask tough questions about what services cost, what outcomes we expect, and how best to achieve our service goals. Weve always done it that way is not an acceptable answer with todays fiscal challenges. Reconstruction of Pulaski Street and Hwy. 32 downtown. I believe the 2013-14 reconstruction project presents both a problem and an opportunity. The problem is that absent good communication and cooperation we will have serious disruption of resident and visitor traffic and related business. The opportunity is that we can use the time leading up to and during reconstruction to plan and organize for a more vibrant downtown. Every community needs a civic, economic and visually pleasing center the downtown in order to reinforce a sense of pride in the community. Without this, I believe wider economic development anywhere in the community is hampered. Street reconstruction over time. I would like the Village to put more emphasis on its 5-year capital improvement plan, and have it reflected in the annual budget. Along with vehicles, we should plan to accommodate safer walking and biking by residents. This will contribute to the overall physical health of our citizens, to greater social contact, and to a more enjoyable lifestyle. We should look to be a livable community, as opposed to just a bedroom community.

25 years of community development experience.Background in government operations, primarily as advisor to county governments Experience in facilitating strategic planning for municipalities and nonprofit organizations

Some of my notable accomplishments include: co-founding the leadership development program called Leadership Shawano County; helping launch successful Shawano and Tigerton downtown revitalization programs; convening civic leaders in the creation of Shawano County Economic Progress, Inc. (development corporation); and, raising two wonderful daughters (both graduates of PHS) with my wife Jackie.

afterwards, the guest artist of the night was welcomed to the stage for the next song. The guest artist was Sergeant Zachary Wendt, U.S.M.C, who graced Pulaski with his presence and talent on the trombone. Sgt. Wendt is currently serving in the U.S. Marine Corps Band at Quantico Base in Virginia. The son of Lon and Jane Wendt, Sgt. Wendt is a 2001 graduate of Pulaski High School and a UW-Stevens Point 2005 graduate. From UWStevens Point, he achieved a Bachelors of Music in Trombone Performance. He is currently a trombonist, guitarist, vocalist, and arranger in the Quantico Band, in which he leads the rock band and Dixieland band sections. He has performed with world-renowned ukulele player Jake Shimabukuro, American Idol finalist Jasmine Trias, performed at half-time shows for New York Giants and Washington Wizard games, and his rock band has opened for Black Eyed Peas, Little Big Town, and Daughtry. Sgt. Wendt played beautifully with the PHS Wind Ensemble during the songs Annie Laurie, Concertino Opus 4, and Rolling Tunder March. The Wind Ensemble also played the epic song The Ascension by Robert. W. Smith, which included vocal accompaniment by the musicians. The additional talent of Sgt. Wendt was quite an honor and privilege to hear, but the musical enjoyment did not end with the Wind Ensemble. He then went on to play some additional songs with the trombone and euphonium section of the band. Also, during his time practicing with the PHS bands, Sgt. Wendt had put together a band consisting of pianist Director Daniel Tewalt, drummer Dayton Wellner, bassist Nate Leigh, guitarist Brent Harkonen, and himself on the guitar and vocals. At the concert, they performed several rock songs, including Crossroads by Eric Clapton and Day Tripper by the Beatles. The band did a great job with the songs, and the audience, young and old, enjoyed the catchy tunes. The 2011 Music for Moderns Concert ended with a very appreciative standing ovation for Sgt. Wendt. Pulaski thanks and honors him for the contribution and sacrifices he has made for our country. The community is very proud of him. The Pulaski High School band program is also a source of great pride for the community, and to see Sgt. Zachary Wendt and the bands play together was an extreme delight. Meyer, as well as participating in two concerts in Toledo, Ohio. In March 2010, Corey was recognized by the WSMA with an Exemplary Soloist Award for his performance of Paul Crestons Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano. Music is such an emotional experience. Its part of the human experience. I can connect with music, and I love sharing it with others, said Whitt. On March 9, Whitt made a visit to Pulaski High School to help students with their Solo and Ensemble pieces. Solo and Ensemble is a unique opportunity for students to perform where they otherwise couldnt. Students can develop their musicianship further by studying a piece of music for a lengthy amount of time, said Whitt. Whitt also said, Helping PHS musicians with their pieces was a unique chance to practice teaching, while at the same time sharing my passion for music with them. Hopefully I inspired them to strive to do better. Not only did Whitt assist the saxophone section, but he also listened and gave advice to performers of all instruments. Each student appreciated Whitts input and remarked that their solo or ensemble piece would be greatly benefited by Whitts experience and talent in music. Vandercook Director of Jazz Studies and saxophone professor Tony Kidonakis said of Whitt after hearing him play, I cant begin to tell you how impressed the professors and students are with your talent, energy, and enthusiasm I believe you would make others want to improve themselves as they witness your work ethic and passion for music and people.

Music for Moderns Concert honored by guest artist Sgt. Wendt


By Laura Dahms The Pulaski High School Symphonic Band, Concert Band, and Wind Ensemble treated audiences with fun and unique music selections at the Music for Moderns Concert on March 8 at 7 p.m. The talent of the students in the PHS bands is obvious; the audience can hear that all musicians have a passion for their individual, as well as collaborative success. The Symphonic Band, directed by Daniel W. Tewalt, started things off with the songs West Side Story, Coles Song (from
Mr. Hollands Opus), and Beat It by Michael Jackson, meticulously arranged for the band by Director Daniel Tewalt. The next band was the Concert Band, directed by D. Thomas Busch. They performed Saint Thomas, Novo Lenio, Variations on a Korean Fold Song, and Selections from Disney/Pixars Up. The Wind Ensemble, also directed by D. Thomas Busch, took the stage after the Concert Band. They played Burnished Gold and Army Blue to start;

Prior to the Music for Moderns concert, Sgt. Zachary Wendt offered lessons to musicians in the PHS band. He is pictured giving Nate Leigh, a trombonist in the Concert Band, some advice for the trombone.

Whitt gives back to band

Corey Whitt, 2010 Pulaski graduate, helps senior band member Candice Matuszak with her part in a saxophone ensemble piece on March 9 when he volunteered to assist band members with their upcoming Solo and Ensemble performances.

By Laura Dahms Corey Whitt, son of Jodyne and Jason Whitt, graduated from Pulaski High School in 2010. His commitment to the PHS band and music programs, however, never stopped. As the 2009 to 2010 Pulaski High School Band President, Whitt was a huge asset to the band. He is now a freshman at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, where he will major in saxophone performance under the direction of internationally-recognized saxophonist and distinguished artist, Dr. John Sampen. Bowling Green is an amazing school for music, but it is tough. I practice for four hours each day. The professors are great and challenge us to constantly improve with practice, practice, practice, said Whitt. In the past year, Whitt has performed at the North American Saxophone Alliance Conference in Chicago; his quartet won the Bowling Green State University Chamber Competition; he has participated in a Masters Class with Professor Deborah Rich

Barney Eckberg W1667 Hillside Dr. Pulaski, WI 54162 920 822.2042


I am running for Angelica Town Board Chairman because I believe we have numerous issues that are not being addressed. Among the issues are the roads and the budget. We need to do more to preserve our roads as we dont have enough money to reconstruct them as often as they need reconstruction. If I am elected I will schedule a series of meetings on different days and at different times for ALL TOWN RESIDENTS to attend to talk about where they want the town to go with the roads and if they can see anything we can do different with our finances as they exist. We are entering a whole new area with the new state aid financial situation. The town of Angelica and the surrounding areas are excellent areas to live and raise a family. I would like to see more people involved in the town government and I will work to make the town meetings more people friendly. Its time the people started to run the government not the government running the people. I was born in Oconto, Wisconsin, in 1941 and graduated from Oconto High in 1959. I lived and worked in the Green Bay area most of my life and moved to Angelica in 2000. I purchased my property in 1995. During my work life, I was involved in everything from working on the railroad to working historic street restoration too estimating and project management in construction. I feel my experience working with people and problems would be an asset to the town government. As outside activities I work with Evergreen Productions. I have performed in two shows and worked on several construction projects for the shows. This is all voluntary work. I also did some maintenance work for the Green Bay Community Theater.

issues of your concern if you are elected Angelica Town Board Chairperson?

In these economic times, we will continue to move forward and to provide the services which are mandated by the state. Unlike Madison and Washington, we have been able to live within our budget without overburdening the residents.

Why are you running for a position as Angelica Town Board Chairperson?

In the last 40 years, I have seen a lot of changes in the town. We have been able to maintain our rural atmosphere, and I would like to continue in the direction.

To continue to deliver the best services the Town can offer in a time where state aide to local governments will likely be cut significantly. Another concern I have is increased road building costs associated with the rising oil and gasoline prices.

Why are you running for a position as an Angelica Supervisor?

What do you see as some of the positive points in the Town of Angelica?

Since 1996, I was involved with the town of Angelica, serving on the planning committee and attending most of the town meetings. I believe that I can further my involvement as a town supervisor.

Throughout the years I have made a lot of friends in the town serving on the Planning Committee, Planning Commission, and Advisory Board. Even if I dont get the position of supervisor, I still hope the best for the town of Angelica and will continue to work for its future. I would like to add that tough decisions are not always popular; its the outcome that is important, and dont believe in idle promises.

What notable accomplishments would you like to mention that you have

One of the most positive points about the Township of Angelica is its residents. They have strong family values, and a great work ethic. Another positive point is that the Township is predominantly rural. The Township has a nice blend of agricultural and wooded areas, a true Wisconsin landscape.

What will be the primary issues of your concern if you are elected Angelica Supervisor?

What would you like to see changed in the Town of Angelica?

According to state mandate the town of Angelica has to have a comprehensive plan in place, as well as all townships and towns in the state of Wisconsin. Number one is to keep comprehensive the plan in place and on track, which includes A-290 with the county plan, and to find a way to clean up abandoned buildings in Krakow.

I would like to see an emphasis on looking for efficiencies in the Town workings. Tight budgets will demand that tough decisions be made. Residents also need a quick response to their concerns and leadership with new ideas looking toward the Townships future.

Wilbert Lewis W674 Deer Drive Pulaski, WI 54162 (920) 822-5081 Why are you running for a position as Angelica supervisor?

What do you think the job of Angelica Supervisor involves?

There is a lot of marginal farmland in the town leaving room for residential growth in our township and because we have A-290 zoning in our township and a density ratio of one home per ten acres, as a town we must work in harmony with farmers who provide us with food and life.

Im running for the position of supervisor for the town of Angelica because I always had an interest in local government.

The job of Supervisor involves listening to the residents concerns and acting on those concerns while being fair and equitable to all the residents. It also involves providing the best services possible while still keeping spending at a minimum and taxes low.

The town of Chase has subdivisions in a rural setting with low taxes but high quality services.

This position would allow me to continue to serve as Supervisor for the town of Chase. I enjoy working with the people of our area (community). Our town requires representation that can provide a high quality, safe and economical place to live now and in the future.

What notable accomplishments would you like to mention that you have achieved in your life?

Again I have to mention our Centennial Centre at Hobart tax increment district. This project represented 10% of all newly developed parcels in the state of Wisconsin in 2010. This was accomplished with a savvy and hard-working Village Board and Staff and without one federal or state dollar. No less important is the volunteerism and sense of community demonstrated by all of our involved residents. Our village committees are the envy of every surrounding municipality and provide for a sense of ownership and pride in our local government unmatched anywhere in the region. We also enjoy a mix of great neighborhoods with rolling hills, creeks, and green spaces. Finally, our great school systems and close proximity to Green Bay make for the best possible blend a community could enjoy.

What would you like to see changed in Hobart?

I have been married for 37 years to my wife Bonnie and we have two great kids. We are in good health and have made a good living. I am respected by my peers, and that is my most notable accomplishment.

Why are you running for a position as Village of Hobart Trustee?

Please indicate any additional comments you may have.

I believe I have common sense and a logical approach to solving problems, and that I would be a positive asset to the Hobart village board.

I am fiscally conservative and am committed to respecting the public trust.

What will be the primary issues of your concern if you are elected as Village of Hobart Trustee?

The state Department of Transportation has plans for adding interchanges and overpasses along Hobarts portion of the Highway 29 corridor. We need to work with the DOT to optimize the value of those enhancements and integrate those changes with our planned Centennial Centre development. It is just as critical that this construction proceed in the safest possible manner for our residents as it is that the final road system is safe when finished. These efforts - on only 3% of Hobarts entire land mass - must continue to move forward in order to offset the loss of taxes from land being put into federal trust.

What do you think the job of Village of Hobart Trustee involves?

Personal accomplishments definitely include raising a family and being a grandfather, starting my personal business, and obtaining a pilots license. Other notable accomplishments are represented by my record of service to Hobart, such as: Organizing citizen groups to enable citizens input to their government Transitioning Hobart from a town to a village to protect it from annexation by adjacent municipalities Playing a role in the creation of the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department, representing significant tax dollar savings and the most highly accountable form of police services Implementing developers agreements to protect taxpayers in the formation of various Village developments Assisting in the development and adoption of the Villages first-ever Code of Ethics Advocating for a Village-wide private well water test study Implementing Hobarts quarterly newsletter Crafting and defending the restrictive covenants on Thornberry Creek Golf Course, protecting the Villages interests, and seeing those covenants defended and upheld by the federal courts Obtaining a Standard and Poors A+ credit rating for our Village, among the highest such ratings in Wisconsin, thereby reducing interest on Village debt 13 million dollars of new tax increment in Centennial Centre at Hobart, thereby offsetting the continued efforts of the Oneida Tribe to take more land off of the tax roll and placed into federal trust

nity and serving as a trustee is one way I can give something back. There are many great things going on in Hobart and I want to be a part of the continued forward progress to ensure a strong foundation for our future.

What will be the primary issues of concern if you are elected as Village of Hobart Trustee?

Our property values are influenced heavily by overall taxation so we need to be aware of the impact of the entire taxation picture, including county, public school and NWTC taxes. Hobart must continue to look for ways to cut taxes, focusing on essential services and respecting the economic stress which our Village faces. I strongly support our efforts at business development as a way to reduce the tax load. Our residents are our strength, both as volunteers and as a resource for ideas, and we must continue to draw on them in preparing for the future. Hobarts quiet, private neighborhoods are a great asset, and we must protect and support them. Preserving property values is an absolute necessity. I will continue to work hard to achieve these goals.

What do you see as some of the positive points in Hobart?

Creating open dialog with our neighbors. Hobart has a reputation of not getting along with anyone; be it the Oneida Nation, Brown County, the radio communications project, and the list goes on.

Dave Dillenburg 1520 Woodland Drive Hobart, 54313 920-655-1442 (cell) Dillenburg36@aol.com Education: High School graduate; 2-year Associate Degree from NWTC Employment: Brown County Sheriff Department Why are you running for a position as Village of Hobart Trustee?

The Centennial Centre development has been very positive for the community and beautifully done. Hobart has a very dedicated core of volunteers made up of people throughout the village.

What would you like to see changed in Hobart?

The continuous litigations has got to stop. Hobart has spent more than $300,000 on average per year for the past five years and I question if there is a better use for our tax dollars. That money could be spent to offset the staggering increases in our water and sewer rates and the cost of emergency services and roads.

What do you think the job of Village of Hobart Trustee involves?

A village Trustee should listen with an open mind, respect the view of others and treat taxpayer dollars like your own.

I have enjoyed serving the citizens of Hobart for the past 11 years and would like to continue our successful track record of building a strong and dependable future for our community. We must continue to keep our property taxes among the lowest in Brown County. This will allow our residents to live and retire in Hobart, as well as draw new residents and commercial development into this great community.

First and foremost, I believe that the current Board is the hardest working governmental body in all of Brown County. What any other governing body will often take straight up or at face value before simply taking a formal vote, this Board researches and scrutinizes to the nth degree. This requires long meetings, honest discourse, and listening and working with our citizens. No area is spared: zoning, public safety, public works, sewer and water utilities, taxes, litigation protecting the Villages tax base and representative government, etc. Short-term issues are considered with as much gravity as long-term issues. In short, it takes a strong sense of service to the community and the belief that a lot of time and effort can result in an even better municipality.

Please indicate any additional comments you may have.

I want to thank the friends, neighbors, and voters who have placed their confidence in me over the last 11 years and for again asking me to continue representing them and their interests and serving this great Village and community

There are many great things to cheer about in Hobart. We enjoy a quiet, rural atmosphere with excellent access to Green Bay and the surrounding communities. We have some of the most talented and committed residents who have volunteered countless hours to work on our committees. They bring an incredible amount of experience to the table and have led us to some very positive changes. One example is the Villages financial rating which was upgraded last year to AA- by Standard and Poors. Our volunteer fire department is also incredibly effective and because of the dedication of that group of people we enjoy the highest possible ISO rating a village served by a volunteer fire department can receive. Hobart is defying the odds of a bad economy with the successful development of Centennial Centrebringing new jobs, consumer resources, and more diversified housing to the area. There are so many great things going on in Hobart that I almost feel I do a disservice in trying to list them all.

What do you feel are your qualifications for running?

What do you feel are your qualifications for running?

What will be the primary issues of your concern if you are elected as Village of Hobart Trustee?

As an incumbent with 11 years of Village Board experience and commitment to the many meetings - often two or three per week, I have a record on which I am proud to run. This record, demonstrative of my past dedication and experience, make me the proven qualified candidate for this position.

The success of our Village depends on an informed public so timely and accurate communication is necessary to allow residents the opportunity to get involved and express their ideas and concerns. We must continually challenge the status quo to find new ways to do more with less, and critically review expenditures to ensure the most efficient use of every taxpayer dollar spent.

What do you think the job of Village of Hobart Trustee involves?

I believe I am very knowledgeable about the issues in Hobart. In my 30 years of living and volunteering in Hobart I have attended nearly all the annual meetings and numerous board and committee meetings. As Chief of the Hobart Fire Department for the last 13 years my responsibilities have included establishing an annual budget for the fire department that does not create a tax burden for the residents of Hobart, overseeing the day to day operations of the department, the purchase and maintenance of equipment and emergency vehicles, and managing our most important asset, our firefighters.

Protection of our property values is vital. Continued and sensible development of our Centennial Centre at Hobart tax increment district is critical for our future. Our Public Works programs are essential services. These include continuation of our road maintenance and reconstruction program, maintenance of our family-friendly parks, and storm water utility projects. Our Hobart-Lawrence Police Department continues to serve this community with distinction and professionalism and deserves continued support. In conclusion, all of these worthy municipal efforts rely 100% upon protection of our property values and keeping property on our tax rolls and out of federal trust

In my professional career and volunteer work I have had the opportunity to manage both very large and very small budgets.

I have also had experience with cost/revenue analysis, as well as system development to increase operational efficiency. I have successfully managed multiple wide-audience, large-scale business projects from request for proposal (RFP) through market launch, managing both people and technology along the way.

The students felt it was an extremely beneficial trip because it gave them all the chance to explore college choices as well as look into various career choices. Presentations were given to inform the students on both topics listed above which the students said were very helpful. A tour was also given of NWTC as an addition to the fair itself. The trip gave the students a chance to see a bit of college life and start to consider the possibilities of the future.

Magic of Science visits Hillcrest

Jim Lenz amazes a Hillcrest Elementary School student with The Magic of Science. Optimist Winners Morgan and Ella stand proudly with Glenbrook Principal Mary Connolly.

Morgan T. has been chosen as one of the first grade optimist winners for March. Morgan is a spunky first grader with a contagious positive attitude. She is a friend to all of her classmates. Morgan uses her gifts and talents to energize our classroom each day. Morgan is in Sally Robertsons first grade class and is the daughter of James and Jessica. Ella S. also has been chosen

as one of the first grade optimist winners for March. She is a wonderful student with a beautiful smile. She has a warm and caring heart and is always willing to lend a helping hand. Ella is always positive and strives to do her best everyday. Ella is in Jane Hindermans first grade class and is the daughter of David and Tiffany.

Submitted by Stephanie Dworak On March 4, Hillcrest Elementary had its science fair kick-off event to get the kids motivated and excited about picking a project for the Invention, Interest, and Science Fair to be held later this month. Jim Lenz, a Pulaski High School science teacher of 14 years, brought his education and knowledge to the kids in the most exciting way. The Magic of Science amazed the kids by merging an ordinary school subject with the mystery of magic. Lenzs experiments allowed the kids to see the science of absorption through a hilarious lead-in act of wiping his sweat off with a diaper (unused, of course!). The kids learned about polymers and how to stick a skewer through a balloon without popping it. They also were amazed by the levitation of a volleyball using a leaf blower; the lesson was that, the faster you push air around, the less air will push the object because the air will flow around the object. Children from the audience also got to help show how and why a hot-air balloon works, how to make snow, and much more! The kids were also excited to see their teachers race plasma cars requiring no pedals or gears but using friction to get moving. If you would like to bring this kind of excitement to your school or another event, please check out Lenzs website at http://www. jimlenz.com/JimLenzMagicandScienceGuy/Home.html.

Its electrifying for Fairview


The Oconto County Co-op visited Fairview Elementary students in grades four and five to talk about electrical safety. Representatives from the co-op reinforced important safety rules using many exciting demonstrations. Some of these included live wired models of power lines and the potentially dangerous effects of contact with them. Students were shocked (figuratively) when a hot dog contacted the wires and the ground, and the hot dog was subsequently fried. Other safety tips included the safe way to exit a vehicle that has come into contact with a power line, what to do and not to do if one encounters a power line, and which types of bulbs use less electricity. The co-op will be loaning Fairview Elementary a power bicycle that students can pedal to try to light different types of light bulbs.

Hillcrest has family fun


By Hailee Kapla and Kalli Seglund On February 25, Hillcrest Elementary held their annual Family Fun Night. Family Fun Night has become Hillcrests premiere school activity. It is a great opportunity for fundraising and to provide family-friendly activities while socializing. The PTO committee works hard to get donated items from families and businesses to supply a silent auction. In addition, each classroom is assigned a theme basket to create and raffle off.

The various games resembled a carnival theme. There was wheel of fortune, Plinko, mini-golf, and many more. The most popular game was the chicken chuck where children had three tries to throw a rubber chicken through a hole and score some prizes. Friends and family also had the chance to enjoy face painting and great food. Parents participated in the raffle and silent auction. Hillcrest would like to thank all the volunteers who helped make their Family Fun Night a true success!

By Graham Severson Jeffrey Skorik, Police Chief of the Marinette Police department, came to speak to the Pulaski Emergency Response Team. The purpose of the presentation was to inform and educate about the emergency response caused by the hostage situation at Marinette High School. The first officers to arrive on the scene created a command post until further help arrived. Eventually telephone contact was made within the class taken hostage. The County EOC was then activated and additional tactical resources were requested. To understand the situation more, witnesses were questioned, and the information gathered was distributed within the police force. Other information gathered were the suspects school photo, and blueprints of the school. All students evacuated were taken to a secure location and the parents were notified. Eventually shots were heard within the hostage room, causing law enforcement to breach the room. Unfortunately, the suspect fatally shot himself. After the incident, an overall summary of the situation and the emergency response was placed together. Skorik stated that the response to the event was quick and effective. Early contact within the class and outside support were very helpful. Jeffrey Skoriks presentation helped prepare and inform the Pulaski Emergency Response Team in case of future, similar events.

Red Raiders win regionals in double OT


By Brett Janssen March 5, Pulaski faced off against the Sheboygan South Red Wings in the regional championship game. Pulaski had the fourth seed while Sheboygan South held a fifth seed.

Citizens Bank Be aware of the seven encourages deadly home staging sins of your refrigerator. Your objechome owners tive is to change the view of your
As the weather starts to get warmer, home owners will start planning their home improvement projects and making repairs. An attractive financing option for many home owners is a home equity loan, as they have some advantages over different financing options, said Todd Draak, district officer of the Green Bay East district for Citizens Bank. Draak says home equity loans are essentially a second mortgage and are secured against the value of your home. In most cases, home equity loans are for a shorter term than traditional 30-year home loans, said Draak. Some home equity loans may even offer a fixed interest rate which is generally at or lower than other loans. Due to the current economic climate Draak says a lot of home owners wonder if they even have equity in their home to qualify for this type of financing. While the housing market has changed from pre-recession days, many people do have equity in their homes, said Draak. To determine how much equity you have in your home, its important to meet with a banker. They will ask questions pertaining to how long youve lived in your home, its location, how much your mortgage is and how much you initially put down at the time of purchase. Consider the following to determine if you may qualify for a home equity loan: Having equity in your home This means that you owe less on the home than its estimated market value. A good credit rating The better your credit rating, the lower your interest rate will be, saving you money over the term of your loan. Take time to meet with a personal banker Explain to a banker what you plan to renovate and how much you need so theyre able to help you determine the best route to take to help you meet your financial goals. Remember, even if youve only been in your home for a couple of years, you may still qualify for a home equity loan and your banker can help determine this for you. If you dont think your home improvement project will require a loan, Draak says home owners may still want to establish a home equity line of credit. A line of credit gives you access to an approved amount of money and it provides peace of mind knowing that funds are available if you would need them, said Draak. Like a home equity loan, a home equity line of credit is based on how much equity you have in your home. The main benefit with this line of credit is that instead of taking out a one lump sum of money, you can borrow as needed. Now is the time to set up a meeting with a trusted banker. By being proactive in your home repair project plans, financing will be all set and ready for you so you can get your springtime projects underway as soon as the thaw comes, said Draak.

By Lori Stephan, Country Pride Realty, Inc. Broker/ Owner since 1999, ABR,CRB,CRS,GRI What if you just had five seconds to sell a house but you couldnt say a word? You are not allowed to say anything no sales pitch, no comments, nothing. You must step aside and let the house sell itself. Nowhow would you go about setting up the house? How do you set the stage to impress people and make them fall in love with your house? How do you make a potential buyer say Wowthis is a really nice house!? Home staging is the answer. Its the crucial step needed to help a buyer connect with a listing and visualize themselves living in the home. Staging showcases the house in the best possible light. After all, we never get a second chance to create a great first impression so it is imperative that the house is dressed to impress. Unfortunately most listings suffer from one or more of the 7 deadly home staging sins. Are you guilty of any of these potential deal breakers? FAILURE TO THOROUGHLY DEEP CLEAN THE HOME ESPECIALLY THE KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS. A dirty house is an immediate turn-off. The two most important areas are the kitchen and the bathrooms. If you have not deep cleaned all counter and tile surfaces to a spotless condition, you stand the chance of having the buyers walk right back out the door. Another critical area is the floors all carpets and rugs. Without question, they must be either replaced or steam cleaned as a dirty carpet is the number one buyer turn-off. FAILURE TO DE-CLUTTER THE ENTIRE HOME. Clutter, both inside and outside your home makes it extremely hard for the buyers to visualize moving into your home. The disorganization will directly affect the buyers ability to focus on your home and they will most likely overlook your key selling features. In addition, clutter has the affect of making your home appear smaller than it is as the open feeling is gone. FAILURE TO DE-PERSONALIZE YOUR ENTIRE HOME. Your home is your comfort zone and it is filled with all of your personal memorabilia, but to the buyers it represents a huge distraction. People are generally curious and when you want them to notice the beautiful entryway they may be focused on all the family pictures on the piano or all the stuff stuck to the front

home from lived in to ready to move in. FAILURE TO USE NEUTRAL COLORS WHEN PAINTING BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. While your favorite colors may be the exact complement to your living style, the shades and hues may be a complete distraction and turn-off to the buyers. Your favorite wall paper may not be on the buyers best list. The best way to present a home is for the wall colors to be painted a neutral color. This goes for the outside as well a loud or nonneutral color may just keep the buyers from even stopping to see the inside. FAILURE TO SPOTLESSLY CLEAN THE WINDOWS AND WINDOW COVERINGS. Nothing is more distracting to a buyer than to be looking at a view through a dirty window. This area, as in cleaning the carpets is best left up to the experts. The same can be said for the kitchen and bathroom counters and tile. A little investment here will pay big dividendswhat you dont see is often more important than what you do see. FAILURE TO MAKE YOUR PETS DISAPPEAR. While your pets are a loving member of your family, for the buyers their presence, food, and boxes are generally a turn-off. Every trace of their presence should be removed so, once again, the buyers are not distracted from the prime objective viewing your home in the best possible light. FAILURE TO SPRUCE UP YOUR CALLING CARD YOUR LANDSCAPING. A healthy, neat, trimmed and well maintained yard and flower beds are the keys to getting the buyers up to the front door. The last thing they want to see is your stuff all around an uncut and untrimmed lawn. A little effort in this area with perhaps the help of a professional gardener will pay big dividends. A well maintained exterior plants the seed of a well maintained home in the mind of the buyer.

Commander of the American Cavalry. His cavalry unit was known as the Pulaski Legion, which was instrumental in saving the City of Charleston, South Carolina, from British occupation in 1779. In October of 1779, at the age of 32, General Pulaski paid the ultimate price for freedom when he died from mortal wound received while he led a cavalry charge in Savannah, Georgia. He is buried next to the Pulaski Monument at Monterey Square in Savannah. The general is now posthumously honored as an Honorary US Citizen as enacted by Congress through a co-sponsorship by Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL). Casimir Pulaski Day is celebrated now every year on the first Monday on March.

Students learn at B.O. Expo


In fourth grade, Glenbrook students in Lori Krumreis class are studying health. The first topic they discussed in class was personal hygiene. The students talked about how important it is to take care of themselves. They practiced proper hand washing techniques and learned all about germs and how they spread. From there, each small group of students chose a topic to research in which they gave advice and created an experiment to help others learn more about the importance of healthy personal hygiene.

Hunter Roskom, Cheyenne Bastian, Madeline Fullerton teach their peers what they researched about body odor.
