Fox 11 News Interviews Tubbs students


PULASKI, WISCONSIN THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2010 VOLUME LXXI, NO. 24

Pulaski News wins at WSPRA

Amy Tubbs expository writing class stands together, proud of their video. Pulaski Community School District Board of Education Clerk Trina Townsend, Pulaski News Editor-in-Chief Laura Dahms, Editor Kaira Kamke, and Advisor Kathleen Gerds are pleased to accept two perfect Spectrum awards.

By Kalli Seglund and Jordan Stiede The Pulaski News newspaper and Pulaski News website both received perfect ratings from the Wisconsin School Public Relations Association Spectrum Awards of 2010.

The Spectrum Awards is a great way to get professional feedback on marketing and communications material as well as recognition for a districts efforts. Kathy Gerds Pulaski News Advisor says, I am extremely proud of the hard work from the students and staff of Pulaski

News. The Pulaski Newspaper received the highest scores for execution which includes effective writing, balance, and originality of approach. Also, it was judged on evaluation and results including success in achieving goals and efforts made to identify results. Articles appear to be written in a clear, concise, non-objective manner. A newspaper that is full of positive news. What a nice concept, said a judge from the Spectrum Awards. The same judge also said, Success is easily measured in your newspapers longevity and rise in subscriptions and advertisers. It speaks for itself. The Pulaski News website also received the maximum score in the judging categories which included goals and objectives and research and planning. Furthermore, goals and objectives consisted of the purpose of the project, how well the project

Ms. Tubbs shows the Fox 11 New reporter how a Mobi works, and explains why she would like more in the classroom if she wins.

By Kelsey Wargo In late October, Amy Tubbs expository writing high school class started filming a music video for a chance to win up to $75,000 dollars in a classroom technology makeover. They were offered the chance by Tubbs to get involved, and the class jumped at the opportunity. She only had gotten the email of the contest two weeks before the deadline, and, with the entire class of 24 students, she started to plan the video. The students only had seven class periods to put the film together, but they did it with very little time spent outside of class, just for editing. After the video was submitted there was a call to Tubbs, telling her that her classs video had made it to the top five out of countless entries from around the country. On October 10, Fox 11 news came to Pulaski High School and interviewed two students in the

Pulaski News

class, as well as Tubbs. Alison Blackford was the first to be interviewed. She told the reporter that she mainly helped out with the planning and the editing, and didnt play a main character. After Blackford, Dylan Hunkins was interviewed. Hunkins played a main character as the half-goat, half-human from the Chronicles of Narnia, and was one of the first people to start writing the song that the students sing in the video. When both were asked about why they wanted to have better technology in the classroom, they agreed that it makes the learning experience more fun, and helps them pay better attention in class. Tubbs said, I was proud of my students for making such a good video in a short amount of time. While showing the news reporters how she used the Mobi, one could see how the students loved to use it. They paid closer attention to their lesson and asked more questions about what they where learning. The voting is only worth 40 percent of the overall scores, while 60 percent comes from the judges. The judges will judge the videos on creativity, showing the technology that they want, and student-teacher collaboration. The class also spread the word on facebook, and the school sent out mass emails and messages to parents. Fox 11 was also a great help to get the word out.

Veterans gather around the donated rock at the Legion Auxiliary Hall that has been dedicated to all who have served for our country.

Recently, the Pulaski American Legion members decided that the outside of their building, located at 135 N. St. Augustine St., needed some updates. They especially wanted to upgrade the area around the flag pole. Jim Van Lannen and Lon Bartelt helped plant flowers and cleaned up the area. Over the years the family of Eugene (Barney) and Ethel Banaszynski has made numerous contributions to the Legion in their memory. The Legionaires decided to use some of this money in the updates. They decided to purchase a large rock that would have a plaque honoring the Banaszynski Family. Bob Buckman, Bob Forest, and Harry Krysiak visited the Mountain Gravel Pit. Krysiak purchased the rock and Buckman

and Forest paid for the transportation of the rock to Pulaski. Mike Maroszek donated his time and labor delivering the rock. Please check out the new improvements at the Pulaski Legion Building. The new memorial is a wonderful addition to the Pulaski Community honoring one of its veterans.

The plaque at Legion Hall is dedicated to all who have served our country.

fulfilled the purpose, and how well the communication tool matched the audience. The research and planning was based on evidence of advanced planning or research methods and the level of appropriateness of the methods used for the project. As stated, a great alternative news source easily accessible to all with Internet access, said a different judge from the Spectrum Awards.

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mel Lightner said, Congratulations to Pulaski News for receiving two perfect scores for the Wisconsin School Public Relations Association.

Dance gets showcased

- December 2, 2010

thanks go out to all those parents who gave their time to making the Showcase of Dance possible. The Pulaski Dance Team has twenty members and is coached by Jessica Korth and Michelle Breitenfeldt. They performed both their Kick and Pom routines at the Showcase of Dance. They have been working hard on these dance numbers for several months now and have recently begun learning their Jazz routine. The Pulaski Dance Team will be competing in all three of their routines on December 11 at the Raider Classic in Wisconsin Rapids.

The PHS Dance Team and coaches beam after dancing radiantly at the annual PHS Showcase of Dance.

By Isabel Thyne On November 20, the Pulaski Dance team hosted the Third Annual Showcase of Dance. The event began at 11 a.m. and ended at 3 p.m., taking place at Pulaski High School. Twentytwo teams performed from surrounding schools dance teams and clubs including: Pulaski, De Pere, Preble, Green Bay East, Appleton, Oshkosh, Campbellsport, Marinette, Power of Dance, Sarahs Dance, Seymour, Shawano, Freedom, and Kaukauna. Teams do not compete during

the Showcase of Dance; no medals or awards are given, but teams can gain experience and much more from the event. Professional judges critique each routine, later giving the teams score sheets that can help them work out any issues they may have throughout their dance numbers. Every team also gets the chance to perform in front of a large crowd, eliminating jitters and any nerves before competition season really begins. New members on teams can especially gain from the Showcase of Dance; they can become familiar with a competitive atmosphere

without the pressure of a real competition. A variety of dances were represented, including Pom, Kick, Hip-Hop, and Jazz. Many parents from the Pulaski Dance Team worked at this event all day. Concessions, ticket sales, registration, apparel sale, set-up, and clean-up were all accomplished by the devoted parents of the Pulaski Dance Team. Special

Wisconsin native animals return


By Graham Severson Ever since settlers came to Wisconsin, the native animals that call Wisconsin home have decreased in number. Today, those numbers are rising for many of the animals. Wolves and black bears both have been rare animals in the past to find in Wisconsin, but now they roam the state with stronger numbers. Black bear numbers have been estimated to be as high as 40,000. Because of this increased number, hunting is expected to increase to maintain an appropriate black bear population. Elk have also been increasing in size in the state thanks to a reintroduction effort in 1995. Although the elk population hasnt reached the goal number of 1,400, the elk population has increased from the 25 that were introduced to 164. One reason for this is because of wild wolves, whose numbers have also increased to 700, have been hunting the elk along with domestic cattle. According to the DNR, 11 elk were killed last year by predators. Because the wolf is federally protected, the possible solutions to limit elk and cattle death from predators are limited. Eventually, when the elk number reaches 200, a hunt with a quota of ten bulls will be in effect. Even the cougar has returned to Wisconsin. In 2008, a cougar sighting was confirmed in the state in Rock County. Since then, there have been four recorded sightings, with the most recent sighting happening last May. The DNR does not believe Wisconsin has a significant population of cougars, but is working on a plan to contain the federally protected cougar. Wild animals are returning to Wisconsin in large numbers. Predator or prey, many native animals to this land that once were rarely seen are now abundant and are changing the vision of the Wisconsin wild.

Oconto County recognizes volunteers

The Oconto County Rural Urban Recognition banquet was held at Romys Holiday Inn Supper Club on October 18 at Kelly Lake. The purpose of the banquet was to thank individuals that have volunteered countless hours making their communities a better place to live. Honorees must be at least 70 years of age and have lived a good portion of their life in Oconto County. Oconto County is the only county in the state of Wisconsin that makes this special effort to recognize the volunteer work done by their citizens. Abby Huibregtse, Oconto County Extension Agent, did a very good job as the Master of Ceremonies. Ken Cisar, president of the committee gave the welcoming address. Then the Reverend Kevin Kuhn gave the invocations. After that, everyone enjoyed a delicious chicken and tips meal. At the conclusion of the meal, Duane Kusell from Spring Valley gave a humorous talk about life on the farm. Ron and Joan Korzeniewski read the Bios of the honorees. They were: Rose Bowen, Oconto; Donald Buhrandt, Mountain; Joan and Everett Carlson, Gillett; Carol Coopman, Oconto Falls; Leon Czech, Pulaski; Diana and Ken Detrie, Lena; and Karen and Warren Eiseth, Gillett. From the Lakewood area, the nominee was Thomas Gryboski. Donald and Marlene Jagiello, Lena; Norman Kratz, Oconto Falls; Sherri and Curtis LaCourt, Oconto; John (Jack) Maas, Oconto; Mavis Neta, Lena; Verna Peterson, Oconto Falls; Dorothy Petka, Morgan; Corinne (Blazek) Roscoe, Suring; Barbara and Clayton Smith; Helen Trever, Suring; Robert (Bud) Wardecki, Pound; and Marlene and Edward Zahn, Oconto. The honorees were presented with a plaque and a corsage. This was made possible by the generosity of the sponsors. Everyone was in awe of all the many years of volunteer work the honorees contributed to their communities. The next banquet to honor deserving volunteers will be in October, 2012.

Poached deer found in southern Oconto County


By Cole Motiff and Bryce Egnarski The bodies of dead and decapitated deer were recently found in southern Oconto County in the townships of Little Suamico and Abrams. Wisconsin DNR Conservation Warden Mike Stahl was called upon to respond to the incident. When Stahl arrived in the area in southern Oconto County, he and respondents found the bodies of headless deer.
Stahl said, There were up to nine deer found in the Little Suamico, Abrams area and two more deer towards the Oconto and Marinette county line. Warden Stahl had a tough time identifying how the animals died, due to the time that they had been laying at the location. Stahl said, We couldnt find any obvious signs of how they died, but we do know that the deer were not killed where we found them. Stahl went on to say that the majority of the deer where bucks. In thirty years of service, Stahl has seen cases like this before. Stahl stated that they had no one in connection to the dead deer, but there is an ongoing investigation. Along with the cases in southern Oconto and Marinette counties, there was a case in which seven deer were recovered at a residence near Pulaski. Stahl encourages anyone with any information to contact the Wisconsin DNR hot-line at 1-800-TIP-WDNR. You may also now text in a tip to the DNR at 847-411. Any other information can be found on the Wisconsin DNR website.

Christmas Cantata to be held at St. Johns


By Katie Christopherson For the last 40 years, people have been given a way to celebrate the upcoming holidays with a message of comfort, encouragement, and peace. St. John Lutheran Church in Pulaski is inviting the community to join them for their annual Christmas Cantata. A Cantata is a collection of songs, woven together with narration of hope for the holiday. St. John will be celebrating the Christmas Cantata by having two celebrations. The meaningful Christmas experience

will be full of the joy of Gods great gift, the Child of Hope. The first Cantata will be on December 18, starting at 4 p.m. with a dinner to follow. Please RSVP if you are interested in attending. The second celebration will take place December 23, at 7 p.m. This celebration will be only music, no food to follow. In addition, this Cantata will be held in memorial of Peg Wolfgram. The Christmas Cantata was her favorite time of the year, she sang in the church choir, and was very upbeat and uplifting.

Local teacher to represent Wisconsin

Leon Bluma, Dave Ahlswede, James Styczynski, Gerry Ahlswede, Jim Gillis, and Bob Kanugh stand at the booyah benefit for Brian Jarosinski.

By Adam Styczynski The Tri-County Firefighters, Inc., along with the Knights of Columbus, presented a booyah benefit for Brian Jarosinski and his family. The benefit was held on November 18 and November 19 at the Pulaski fire station. It was set up for visitors to either drive through or sit down to receive the booyah. Prices were $10 for half of a gallon and $20 for a full gallon. 165 gallons of booyah were made. Gerry Ahlswede was the head chef in preparing the booyah. It sold rapidly and had very good quality.

The benefit had a good turnout, said Officer James Styczynski. Styczynski went on to say, We would like to thank the community for their support, as well as the Tri- County Firefighters, Inc. and the Knights of Columbus for the prep work and for helping at the sale. Jarosinski is a Pulaski firefighter and Knights of Columbus member. He was recently hospitalized and had surgery for a heart condition. The benefit will help assist Jarosinski and his family with medical expenses he has incurred due to his health situation.

sin Agricultural Education at the 2010 National Association of Agricultural Educators (NAAE) National Convention as well as at the Association of Career and Technical Educators (ACTE) National Conventions. The two national conventions are held simultaneously in Las Vegas, Nevada, from December 1 to 5. Prior to being selected as a Wisconsin delegate Rusk was elected to the WAAE Board of Directors this past summer at their annual Professional Development Conference held the end of June each year, which is the first time in over 12 years Pulaski has had this honor. Bridgette Neu, WAAE Executive Director, said To be selected by your peers to serve on the board of directors for the Wisconsin Association of Agricultural Educators is truly an honor for the instructor as well as the district they represent and then to be selected as one of a handful of delegates on top of this is an extreme honor. Delegates are assigned to represent our state on various committees and meetings throughout the conventions. Delegates play a vital role in the success of not just the state but also the local agricultural education program. Rusks term on the WAAE Executive Board of Directors is a four year term and then he will be eligible to be elected to serve as State President. Past WAAE President, Jeff Zobeck, had this to say about Rusk and his accomplishment: I have known Josh for a very long time and he has always been a very valuable member of our Wisconsin Association of Agricultural Educators (W.A.A.E.) professional organization. He does an excellent job of representing our state at the national level as well. Mr. Rusk is passionate about his career and just as passionate about his involvement and leadership roles within agriculture education, FFA, and his other professional organizations. Rusk is excited for the opportunity to represent Pulaski during his term on the WAAE board as well as at the National level next month. The conventions are a tremendous opportunity to improve professionally through workshops and tours being presented as well as to be able to bring these cutting edge techniques back to the program at Pulaski.

50th Anniversary

Pulaski Community School District Student and Parent Guest Wifi Access!
On November 29th, 2010 the Pulaski Community School District will begin offering some exciting new services for our students, parents, and community. Beginning at the high school and middle school level, the district will be offering guest wireless access for students to use with their personal devices. Permitted devices include such things as laptops, net-books, iPods, cell phones, Android and Apple based tablets, and e-book readers. The use of these devices at school is intended for instructional use, and will be highly directed by our teachers. Many teachers in the district are already using district owned devices in very innovative ways in their classrooms, and look forward to the additional opportunities that this will provide for their classrooms. This move comes at the direction of the school board who passed a new policy over the summer permitting this type of use for our pupils. In addition to this exciting new policy, the school district is also offering guest wireless access to parents and community members after hours in the school district. This allows for parents who are attending events in the school district buildings after school or on the weekends to stay connected while participating in their childrens activities. It will also provide access for community groups and people attending numerous activities offered in the district by our PACE community outreach program.

Chemistry and Halloween combine
Boo Bash continues to thrill

A Lannoye student enjoys one of the many fun games at the annual Boo Bash.

By Alexis Krusic This was the fourth year annual Chemistween presentation put on by Jeff Gosse, chemistry and advanced placement chemistry teacher. Chemistween is about mixing the fun elements of chemistry with the creepy mindset of Halloween at the same time! Different elements and chemicals are mixed together to create fun experiments for the students to enjoy before heading off on their fall break. This years brand new chemistry teacher, Laura Rebman, also helped out. Jill Last, another chemistry teacher in the department, helped out as well. Some experiments this year included an exploding, carved pumpkin, foamy elephant toothpaste, a metallic coating mixed on the inside of a glass bottle, and experiments with dry ice. To better the mood, the classroom was decked out in all Halloween house decorations. Fog machines, lights, blow up creatures, chemistrees, and cardboard cutouts of eerie creatures also helped set the mood. The whole atmosphere of the decorated classroom just made the whole presentation come together and more enjoyable, said Kayla Reinke. To top off the whole presentation, the teachers were dressed up in costumes for this. Gosse was experimenting in a crazed Einstein/ Frankenstein costume, while Rebman was wearing a cop outfit that had a symbol of the element copper as CU across her stomach. Also, Last was dressed with a crown, representing a noble gas. This whole idea of Chemistween puts every student in a good mood for the Halloween holiday at school, while learning about certain mixtures and their reactions. I cant wait to pop in Mr.Gosses classroom next year for another quick peek at Chemistween, says Cole Motiff. Even some of the school teachers that didnt have class during the day stopped in to check it out because every hour of Gosses classes had the chance to experience Chemistween.

Lannoye PTO sponsored the annual BOO BASH on October 25, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Parents and volunteers transformed Lannoye hallways, gym, cafeteria, Coras Cabin, and the entrance to the school with Halloween themed decorations and activities for families to enjoy. Children could play many Halloween themed games, and for every game a child played, they also received a small prize. A DJ also played songs in the gym. Along one side of the gym, tombstones of teachers and the principal were part of a themed Halloween cemetery that was also decorated with other artifacts and lights. Coras Cabin became the haunted cabin where children and adults went through a haunted maze. In the cafeteria, students and families had pictures taken in costumes, played more games, and individuals could bid on over 60 different themed silent auction items and baskets. PTO members also manned the kitchen where the food was served. A bake sale offered goodies of all kinds. BOO Bash is an exciting event for students and families, said Pam Engel, Principal of Lannoye School. Families look forward to this event every year. Once a family has attended, it usually becomes an annual tradition. Parent Laura Boyden has led the BOO Bash at Lannoye for several years. The Lannoye PTO Leadership Team includes Laurie Olson, Mark Heck, Cindy Egnarski and Melissa Belongia, who also play a huge role in the organization and follow-through for this event. Many parents are a huge part of this effect. Parents and families, Leo Club students, PCMS students, and former Lannoye students also volunteer to oversee events and activities. Many hours go into the planning, set up, and clean-up for such a large event. Lannoye School greatly appreciates all the hard work and time that goes into this event, said Engel. Funds that are raised as part of this event help to fund field trips, students activities, and needs at Lannoye. This is such a fun family event that brings smiles to the faces of the adults and the children. The event planners would also like to thank the school support staff: the secretary and aides, the custodians and the kitchen staff, the Principal, and the teachers for all of their support for the BOO Bash.

By Heather Pautz Over the last few years, many teachers have been recognized by others with the Golden Apple Award. This year, Partners in Education, a program in the Green Bay Chambers of Commerce that presents the Golden Apple Award every year, is now launching the Golden Appleseed Campaign. The Golden Appleseed Campaign kicked off on American Education Week. The Pulaski School District is pleased to have three of our own schools piloting this wonderful program. Glenbrook Elementary is able to pilot the Golden Appleseed campaign because of Sara Malchow, a first grade teacher in our school district who is a member of the Golden Apple Academy. The academy helped develop this campaign, and Malchow is leading this in our school, said Mary Connolly, Principal at Glenbrook School. Connolly said, Sara shared the information with me, and it supports Glenbrooks vision to strengthen the partnership between parents and school. This campaign is also being carried through at Sunnyside Elementary School, as well. Mary King, former Golden Apple winner and retired Sunnyside teacher, is now Principal. She said, Sharon Rehn participates on a steering committee for the Partners in Education Program. Sharon asked if I would be willing to partner with her to bring the Golden Appleseed Project to Sunnyside. King spoke highly of Rehn. King said, She is considered our Champion and will give feedback to Partners of Education. This information will help Partners of Education make decisions about expanding the program in the future. Our third school that is participating with the Golden Appleseed Campaign is Hillcrest School. Principal Jennifer Gracyalny, a Golden Apple Recipient, wanted to highlight the wonders of Hillcrest School. We have wonderful parents and families at Hillcrest, so I wanted to provide them with the opportunity to be a part of this school-home partnership campaign through Partners in Education. Principal Gracyalny also wanted to thank many parents and grandparents. She said, So many of our parents, as well as grandparents, donate many hours to our school, support their children with homework, learning, and much more. We are so proud of these teachers and these schools for their amazing generosity to the school district, as well as to our wonderful parents and students. None of this could be possible without the help of those people. Thanks also go to the students and parents who donate their time to the efforts of the school district.

Special guest speakers were Sergeant Krystal Morgan, alumnus of Assumption B.V.M. School, and Petty Officer Michael Burdette, a parent of students at Assumption B.V.M. School.

By Samantha Brabender and Brooke Lauritzen Its a busy time in the music class at ABVM, taught by Cindy Ludtke. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, the students, specifically third graders, have been able to prepare songs like Praise and Thanksgiving. My favorite thing about music is using the pianos and learning how to play them, said Allison. Another major part of the time in music class is already being dedicated for the upcoming

Christmas Program at ABVM. The third graders will be performing four songs and get to sing in quartets so each one can be heard. One of the songs is Rockin around the Christmas Tree, where the students get to literally dance around Christmas trees. Another song, Time to Decorate the Tree, allows some of the students to play bells in the concert, and some of them get to be dressed up as elves. The Christmas and spring concerts are the best parts of music class, said Dylan.

On November 11 and 15, Lannoye Elementary School hosted Grandparent Lunch Days. Grandparents, parents, and special family friends were invited to join Lannoye students for a school lunch. Over 100 special adults joined students for lunch on November 11 and about 80 joined students for lunch on November 15. The whole school combines to make this a great experience for families. The custodian, kitchen staff, office staff, teachers, and PTO all are part of making this event work and run smoothly. Sharon Ellner, a special education teacher at Lannoye, coordinated and organized the event this year. Much of the pre-registration for these days took place online this year. On these days the number of school lunch nearly doubled. The work of the food service staff at Lannoye, under the leadership of kitchen manager Mary Demerath, is important

to sponsoring these days for Lannoye families and students. Teachers post special displays and/or provide some activities for students to share with their special guests. The Lannoye PTO opened their School Store on these days so that children and their guests could shop for a variety of items. These are special days that many of our students and families look forward to every year. Children enjoy showing their lunch guests the school and having lunch with the special adults in their lives, said Pam Engel, Principal at Lannoye School. Mrs. Jackie Coenens 5th grade class served in a variety of roles to help out on these days. These jobs include being greeters, helpers, servers, photographers, etc. This is such a great opportunity for our 5th graders to be leaders and helpes at our school. They did a great job, said Engel.

By Sara Brown Barb Schullo and Alison Kessels kindergarten classes at Glenbrook Elementary School have been talking about reaching out to help others and how to be thankful for what they have. During class, they read the story Have you Filled a Bucket Today? It is about encouraging positive behavior by being kind and thinking about others. When you do something nice for

someone, they feel good and in return, so do you. They worked together to make turkey centerpieces for the food pantry. When the people came to the pantry to pick up their Thanksgiving meal, they also got a turkey centerpiece that they could decorate their table with. Deb Schneider at the PACE office talked to the students about the pantry when they dropped off the turkeys.

Wrestling season preview with Coach Terry Manning


Eight: Skyler Adamski, Derek Anderson, Shane Reinhard, Tyler Rusch, Shea Sikes, Rob Sobieck, Nevada Skenandore, and Ben Theim. Who do you expect to be team stand outs? We expect anyone and everyone to be standouts. Obviously when you have a returning state qualifier like Nevada Skenandore, its easy to get excited about his senior season. Jacob Syndergaard was a nanosecond from making it to state last year. Dan Irwin wrestled for the Wisconsin National team last summer. Many team members have the potential to have a break-out season. What are you looking forward to most this season? We said goodbye to a great group of seniors last year. The wrestling class of 2010 left their mark by winning the conference title and posting the most dual meet victories in a single season by any Pulaski Wrestling team ever. We are excited to see what this years team will do to stake their claim on Pulaski Wrestling history. This is a group that has great potential if theyre hungry. Are you going to try anything new this year? For example, training or a team event? Yes, we are hosting the first ever Red Raider Duals on December 4. We also have a few new training wrinkles that we plan to incorporatebut were not going to let our secrets out right now! If there are team captains picked already, who are they? We do not have team captains selected at this time. Each of our seniors will be called upon to lead this team throughout the season. Two seniors in particular displayed excellent leadership characteristics during our summer Team Nights: Shane Reinhard and Rob Sobieck.

Coach Terry Manning

Coach Dave Shaw

Head coach: Dave Shaw What is your season outlook? We have a young and inexperienced roster, but we also have kids who are good people, who believe in each other and who will work hard to improve everyday. That makes for an exciting environment and a fun team to coach. Who are the closest competitive teams? Our conference is very competitive. De Pere seems to have set itself on top right now, but I think anybody can beat anybody on any given night and youll have to play your best basketball to get wins in the league. How many returning seniors are there? One, Jake Kolinski Who do you expect to be team stand outs? I expect all of our players to contribute to our improvement and success as a team. What are you looking forward to most this season? The band pumping, the striped warm up pants, the gym packed, and Pulaski ahead on the scoreboard at the end of the game. Are you going to try anything new this year? For example training or a team event? Our team enjoys spaghetti dinners, taking in a UWGB game, a Christmas party, and a bowling night. Its fun to be with the team outside of school and off the practice floor. If the team captains have been picked already, who are they? Captains have not been determined at this time.

What is your season outlook? We are enthused and excited about the upcoming season. We have an excellent group of hard working wrestlers returning, many have varsity wrestling experience. We see many of our underclassmen putting themselves in a position to break into the varsity line-up. Our incoming freshmen have the right attitude and have no fear of hard work. Who are the closest competitive teams? In the FRCC Green Bay Preble/East will continue to challenge. Manitowoc has a solid crew returning. Bay Port and Ashwaubenon are always meaningful rivalry matches. Outside the conference, we will face Luxemburg-Casco and Kaukauna at some point in the season. Hortonvilles program is really coming on, and well face them in a dual the first week of competition. We square off against Seymour in our first match on December Theres always something at stake between the Seymour and Pulaski wrestling communities when the whistle blows. How many returning seniors are there?

We made the retaining wall to not only level out the field but to make the field look nicer, said Krumrai. Krumrai also planted seven trees to create more of a park atmosphere. Many hours of volunteer work were done between September 15 and October 9 to finish the wall. Donations from Pulaski Auto Parts, Krumrai Chiropractor, Excel Patterns, JR Welding, and Performance Auto Body made it possible to make these renovations to the Hofa Park baseball field. Krumrai would like to thank these sponsors and Maroszek Excavating, Jon Berna Construction, McKeefry & Son, and all the players and families that helped out.

What is your season outlook? This is the first year the FRCC is having a hockey conference. The FRCC teams include Ashwaubenon, Bay Port, De Pere, Green Bay, Manitowoc, Notre Dame, Sheboygan, and Shawano/ Pulaski. The teams in this conference are all extremely competitive. Pulaski will be co-oping with Shawano, Bonduel, and Clintonville for the upcoming 2010-2011 season. This will be a fairly young and unproven team. Who are the closest competitive teams? Ashwaubenon, Bay Port, De Pere, Green Bay, Manitowoc, Notre Dame, Sheboygan How many returning seniors are there? There are no returning seniors from Pulaski. Who do you expect to be team stand outs? I expect each player will have a unique talent that will contribute to this team. What are you looking forward to most this season? Im looking forward to help promote and grow the sport of hockey in the Pulaski School District. Hockey is a growing sport that not too many people know about. I look forward to helping our kids grow as skaters on and off the ice. Are you going to try anything new this year? For example training or a team event? We already have had a team building activity held in October. We also conducted dry-land training, as well as Power skating sessions and Captains practice. If there are team captains picked already, who are they? No captains have been selected yet.

What is your season outlook? We have many returning swimmers this season. There seems to be a lot of leadership, which leads me to believe we have a good outlook. Who are the closest competitive teams? Bay Port and Ashwaubenon are packed with depth and talent. These teams will be who the FRCC Conference will be chasing. How many returning seniors are there? This information is unknown at this point. Who do you expect to be team stand outs? In this sport, anyone at anytime can become a team standout. This team is inexperienced but full of potential. What are you looking forward to most this season? I am most looking forward to seeing the swimmers improve over the course of the season. Are you going to try anything new this year? For example training or a team event? Yes, I am going to implement something called Iron Raider. It is a series of our most difficult sets. Each swimmer will earn points based on his performance on those sets. The winner will get his name on a plaque and posted in the pool area for all to see! If there are team captains picked already, who are they? Not yet, we are waiting to see who exhibits the most leadership in the first few weeks of practice and then the team will decide.

Stephanie Paape of Little Suamico recently signed to join the University of Northern Iowa Womens Swim Team. Currently a senior at Pulaski High School, Paape is a highly motivated, selfdirected athlete scholar. She has earned the opportunity to compete in the YMCA Nationals and High School State Meet for the past two years. At the Madison State State meet on November 13, Paape placed 11th in the 100-yard breaststroke. In addition to MVP recognition, Stephanie has earned All Conference honors in each of the last two years and has broken her own conference record as well as multiple pool records in the 100 breaststroke. Despite the challenge of swim practices, I love the physical and mental benefits. As a college swim team member, I believe I can offer strong sportsmanship, encouragement, enthusiasm, commitment, and the value of a strong work ethic. It is my goal to earn the opportunity as a freshman to swim in meets. I value the synergy of teamwork and appreciate the hard work that each team member puts forward to accomplish individual and team

goals. My immense competitive drive adds to my enjoyment of working with a team, said Paape. My parents have raised me to appreciate the value of education. I am a member of the National Honor Society, and as a junior, was selected as my high schools Badger Girl delegate by demonstrating leadership, character, cooperation, scholarship, and extra-curricular participation. As a result, I attended an intense statewide week-long program on Americanism, democracy, government, patriotism, and citizenship through hands-on activities, meetings, and ceremonies. This was truly a life-changing learning experience, she continued. My goal is to carry the benefits of hard work and scholarship through to my professional career. As I stepped on the University of Northern Iowa campus, I knew my goals would be met through the bio-medical program, athletic facilities and great swim coach, Stacey Simmer. My decision was confirmed as I visited other colleges and did not find any other with the same services, facilities or college pride. I am proud to become an UNI Panther,

Hofa Park gets a new look

Hofa Park has a new retaining wall.

By Luke Zablocki, Josh Sendra, and Skyler Adamski Krumrai Memorial Field, named after Donald Krumrai, has been around for 100 years. Dale Krumrai, son of Donald, has been the manager of the Hofa Park Baseball team and field

since 1990. Since I took over, I like to make a couple improvements every few years, said Krumrai. Since he took over, Krumrai has added a grass infield, concession stand, scoreboard, backstop, and now the retaining wall.

What is your season outlook? The season looks promising for the Pulaski Red Raiders Girls Basketball Team. We look to compete at a high level this year. Returning are four starters from last years conference championship team. Who are the closest competitive teams? Top teams in the conference, besides our team, would be De Pere and Preble. How many returning seniors are there? There are six returning seniors: Laura Szela, Brittni Wirtz, Brooke Lauritzen, Brianna Bliese, Tasha Giese, and Samantha Brabender. Who do you expect to be team stand outs? We look to our seniors to provide leadership. What are you looking forward to most this season? I am looking forward to seeing the skills the girls worked hard on during the summer transfer into practice and games. Are you going to try anything new this year? For example training or a team event? There is not anything planned yet for new team events. If there are team captains picked already, who are they? We have not picked our team captains yet.

Protect your finances during holiday travel

Karen Welcing

The holiday season is just around the corner, meaning family and friends will soon jump into cars, trains, planes, and more, in order to spend time with their loved ones. The holiday season is a happy and joyous time for many people, but its also a time when people are increasingly susceptible to theft and fraud, said Karen Welcing, Branch Manager for Citizens Bank-Pulaski. Welcing said, Travelers are often targeted because they tend to carry large amounts of cash and are unfamiliar with their surroundings. Welcing suggests taking the following precautions when traveling: Spread the wealth. Stash cash or credit cards in different locations so you have other options to access funds if you were ever robbed, pick pocketed or just plain misplaced your wallet while out of town. Bring plastic. Carrying a credit card is safer than carrying large amounts of cash and will save you the hassle of converting currencies if you are traveling to a foreign country. If you have a credit card stolen or misplaced, you can easily cancel the card and dispute any charges made to the card that are not yours. Commu-

nicate with your bank and credit card companies. Make sure to let your credit card companies and bank know that youll be traveling. Many credit cards now come with fraud protection. If a purchase is made with your credit card, one day, in your hometown, but then in another state the next, your card could be flagged as possible fraud and frozen. Plus, by letting your bank know, they can pay close attention to account activity for you. Use online banking. Online banking is one of the easiest ways to keep track of your finances while traveling. If your credit or debit card is stolen while youre out of town, online banking gives you the option to check for fraudulent charges almost immediately instead of waiting for your next statement to arrive to your inbox or in the mail. If you do suspect that your account information has been tampered with, make sure you use a secure Internet access point and you call your bank immediately. Keep phone numbers. Have the phone numbers for your financial institutions with you when traveling and stored separately from your credit and debit cards. Customer service numbers are listed on the back of your cards and in most cases can be called 24 hours a day to cancel a card if you suspect it has been stolen. Traveling for the holidays can be a fun and memorable experience as long as you take the proper precautions to keep your financial information safe. Financial theft and identity theft are serious matters and can take days, weeks, or even years to overcome, said Welcing. Welcing also said, If youre planning to travel over the holiday

season and feel unsure about your financial safety, contact your local banker for more tips on how to protect yourself. Citizens Republic Bancorp, Inc. is a diversified financial services company providing a wide range of commercial, consumer, mortgage banking, trust and financial planning services to a broad client base. Citizens serves communities are in Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin with 218 offices and 253 ATMs. Citizens is the largest bank-holding company headquartered in Michigan with roots dating back to 1871, and it is the 49th largest bank-holding company headquartered in the United States.

Nygren selected to serve on powerful finance committee


Representative John Nygren (R-Marinette) was appointed today to serve on the 2011-12 Wisconsin State Legislatures Joint Committee on Finance. Speaker-Elect Jeff Fitzgerald (RHoricon) chose John to be one of six Assembly Republicans to serve on the sixteen member committee. I am honored to have been selected to serve on the Joint Committee on Finance, Nygren said. This committee faces a difficult task of balancing a state budget with a structural deficit approaching $3 billion. The job is humbling, but I am excited for the opportunity to serve and to meet this challenge head on. I have owned or operated a small business for over three decades and will bring this valuable job creating experience to the committee, Nygren said. Serving on the Joint Committee on Finance is a great opportunity and I appreciate the Assembly Speaker-Elects willingness to offer me this post. The people of Wisconsin have sent a clear message that they want Wisconsins fiscal house in order. I look forward to accomplishing this goal. During the economic downturn, families all across Wisconsin have made hard decisions to balance their own family budgets, Fitzgerald said. They expect the state to balance its budget in the same way. I am confident that with his experience as a small business owner Representative Nygren can bring this type of fiscal responsibility to the Joint Committee on Finance. Representative Nygren was originally elected to the Assembly in 2006. Prior to being elected, John operated a small business for nearly two decades and currently owns a financial consulting firm in Marinette, Wisconsin. Nygren represents the 89th district, which includes portions of Marinette, Oconto, Brown, and Shawano Counties.

PCMS holds Veterans Day presentation


By Ashlynn Van Toll On November 11, Rolling Thunder, which includes ex-military personal who specialize in honoring and assisting veterans, and their families made a presentation at Pulaski Community Middle Schoo. Eighth graders and locals of Pulaski enjoyed the Veterans Day presentation. The president of Rolling Thunder, Michael Edwards, who is a Vietnam Veteran, talked about the importance of being proud of Pulaskis patriotic community. Before Rolling Thunder started talking, some of the Veterans took Ben Wolf prisoner. They bound his hands behind his back with a piece of bamboo. Then they put him down on his knees, and put a manmade, bamboo cage on top of him. He was assigned to stay there for the whole presentation. The Rolling Thunder does these presentations because they believe in sending a message to families about being patriotic. The honor guard consists of five veterans: John Hoes, Bob Notz, MaryLou Harris, Michael Edwards, and Greg Wagnitz. A round table was set to show the ever-lasting concern for those who have yet to come home. The empty chair signifies those who arent here, though we hope for their return. A white tablecloth was placed on the table to represent purity and the willingness to answer our countrys call-to-arms so that our country can remain free. The table was set for only one to represent a symbol of frailty of one against all his oppressors. An inverted wine glass was placed on the table to stand for the fact that they arent here to toast with us. Then a candle with a black ribbon was placed on the table to remind us of the light of hope and remind us of those who will never come home. A single rose was placed on the table to signify the loved ones and families who keep faith that the POWs will someday return. A slice of lemon was put on a plate to remind us of the bitter fate if we dont bring them home. Salt signifies all the families tears as they wait and remember MIA soldiers. The Bible on the table represents strength achieved from faith. A faded picture stands for a reminder to families that they are loved and missed very much. The lighting of the candle signifies the outward reach of their unequal spirit. The president, Michael Edwards, had a personal challenge for the eighth graders; be the one who remembers. After the speech about the table and all that it signifies, the Rolling Thunder demonstrated what each fold of the flag meant for a funeral. After the flag was folded twelve times, it was presented to the gold star mother (a mother who has lost a son/daughter in the line of duty). Finally, after the presentation was nearing the end, the prisoner was released. He was unbound and when he tried to stand up on his own he fell back down. Wolf was only tied up for 55 minutes, it is nothing compared to what POWs have had to endure, and many have.

Marine Corpsmen and Rolling Thunder Honor Guard recognize veterans.

The Rolling Thunder presents the table that personifies the hopes that the MIA/ POW will return.

By Tim Frisch Dairy Queen hosted Rolling Thunder, on November 11, in order to bring awareness to POW/ MIAs at a family fun night, full of games. Mary Jo Royer, co-owner of Dairy Queen Chill & Grill, has proudly hosted the Rolling Thunder for a number of years now. Furthermore, DQ is excited for future endeavors with Rolling Thunders. The POW/MIA group, Rolling Thunder, has been raising awareness for veterans lost in war, since 1987. Earlier that day, they had presented to the eighth grade class of Pulaski Community Middle School. When arriving at Dairy Queen, Rolling Thunder began out with a somber speech. This

speech reminded the attendees to remember those who gave their lives for our freedom, and are still giving their lives for our freedom. The Rolling Thunder Ceremony undertakers were Gary Wagnitz, Bob Notz, John Hoes, Larry Phillips, and Mary Lou Harris. They commenced the table ceremony, in which several items, including a bible, candle, and an empty chair, personified the missing POW/MIAs. This ceremony was followed by an honorable moment of silence, and a heart-wrenching end. A personal challenge was issued to all who heard the ceremony to remember those who fought for your freedom and to be the one who remembers.
