PULASKI, WISCONSIN
By Daniel Lemerond and Margaret Pelton The 17th Annual Golden Apple Awards ceremony was held at the Radisson Hotel & Conference Center on April 21. The ceremony was sponsored by the Partners in Education, which is a program of the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce. Over 500 people attended the event. Katie Titler and Tracy Wiedeman were Pulaskis Golden Apple Award winners this year. Titler is a Spanish teacher at Pulaski High School and Wiedeman is a second grade teacher at Glenbrook Elementary. Students are even more engaged in my classes, said Titler. My hope is student learning in other classrooms will also improve sharing of this innovative and effective strategy for learning. By working on social thinking skills, students feel safe. Less time is spent on discipline and more time on teaching, said Wiedeman. Along with Titler and Wiedeman receiving awards, other Pulaski School District teachers attended because they received

PEEP Program
By Kat Johnson PEEP is the 4k program for the Pulaski School District. PEEP stands for Pulaski Early Education Partnership. This is a preschool program which provides a play-based, developmentally appropriate learning experience for our districts for four year old learners. PEEP sites are found all around the Pulaski School District from our elementary schools to daycare centers. The PEEP program has been a wonderful addition to the school district. Deanne Wilinkski, Principal of Assumption BVM Catholic School and a PEEP supervisor, said, I believe that the program was so successful this year because of the year long planning process to offer such a program. Another key to PEEP success was developing the partnerships with the seven PEEP sites, and the regular, ongoing planning that occurs between all of them. Debi Snyder, Polka Tots PEEP, jumped at the idea when she received a letter from the school district two and a half years ago stating that they were considering starting a 4K in the near future. They invited all interested community sites to be as involved as we want to be. She decided at the first meeting that she wanted to be a part of PEEP and be involved in the process from the ground up. Lezlee Klaus with Building Blocks Child Development said, The dedicated team that we have truly wants the best for our district. All teachers work together to ensure that all of the district four year olds are getting the same fantastic programming. The PEEP program is open to all who are age four by September 1 each year and is designed for the one year preceding, a five year old kindergarten. The PEEP program is three hours and ten minutes per day, Monday through Thursday, according to the Pulaski School
District calendar. All PEEP teachers are licensed by Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, and all programs adhere to the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards. The program focuses on five developmental areas for social learning and development, which
includes health and physical development, social and emotional, language and communication, approaches to learning and cognition, and general knowledge. The PEEP program is a fantastic way to get involved with the school district and gives the children a head start.

Nygren praises Tyco decision to expand Ansul in Marinette
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. ~ George Bernard Shaw

Representative John Nygren (R-Marinette) is pleased with the decision of Tyco Fire Suppression and Building Products to expand its operations in Marinette. Tyco will be investing $10 million to construct a new Research and Development Center of Excellence in Marinette. The new facility will replace an existing one built in the 1960s. Some of the money will also be used to expand and improve testing laboratories, training, and marketing facilities. The Marinette community is a great place for any employer to expand and locate. Employers like Tyco benefit from Marinettes hard-working and educated workforce, Nygren said. Assistance from the Wisconsin Department of Commerce through its Economic Development Tax Credit Program and the City of Marinette through Tax Incremental Financing were provided to assist with the project costs. The Economic Development Tax credit Program has been in existence since 1987 and Wisconsins TIF law was enacted in 1975. If Wisconsin is to create and retain jobs we must explore every option available, Nygren said. I am pleased the City of Marinette is actively working to expand employers in our area and the Department of Commerce has decided to use the tools they have. Ansul Fire Protection, acquired by Tyco Fire Suppression and Building Products in 1990, has been active in Marinette since 1912. Roughly 675 Tyco employees currently work at the Marinette facilities. Efforts must continue to grow and retain employers in Wisconsin. Ways of doing this include relieving the regulatory and tax burdens placed on employers. I encourage passage of my Small Business Regulatory Reform proposal supported by the National Federation of Independent Business. As well, I support a sunset of the $5 billion in new and increased taxes and fees passed into law just last year, Nygren said. One of those tax increases was on capital gains. That tax was estimated to take over $240 million from employers like Tyco and send it to state government. That money could have been used to expand and create employers throughout Wisconsin creating jobs we desperately need, Nygren said.

as containing phosphorous, which affects retailers including garden centers and hardware stores. There are three numbers on all fertilizers. The first number stands for nitrogen. The second number is for phosphorous. The third number is for potash. So this year in Wisconsin, you will see turf fertilizers with numbers as 30-0-3, no phosphorous. Fertilizers containing high phosphorous are normally called Starter Fertilizers. They are used for growing new lawns. Phosphorous helps root growth. They can be applied right over the top of the grass seed when planting. Most retailers will carry these also, but they cannot be on the sales floor. No retailer may sell a turf fertilizer with phosphorous unless the purchaser intends to use it for the following reasons: establishing a new lawn either by seed or sod purchaser has proof by soil test of phosphorous deficiency to be used on pasture land for agricultural production Many 10-10-10 bags have instructions on the bag as to how to apply the fertilizer to lawns and some have pictures of grass on the bag itself. Therefore, at many stores, it will not be displayed on the shelf for the consumer to see. There is one exception to this rule. They are allowing Milorganite to be displayed for sale. It has a small amount of phosphorous but it is a bio- solid. When you are in your garden center to get that 10-10-10, dont be afraid to ask for it. Garden center employees know the law and can answer your questions. Lets hope this non-phosphorous law will keep our Wisconsin waters clean for all of us to enjoy.

Staring threatens dogs. Be aware that about 80 percent of dog bites occur in the victims home or at a friends home. These friendly dog bites account for the majority of treated dog bites.

they got to make songs about comfort zones. Genna Adamski even got to sing her groups to everyone. I learned to step out of my comfort zone, said Adamski. They cracked the code, in the two days, to being secret agents of EDGE! Besides the workshops, they had other types of fun at the conference. On Friday night there was a dance and pizza party. The students got to meet new people in the afternoon and at night rock out with them! Also Friday night the pool was open for everyone to swim in. So everybody that went: know grow show!!
Wes Horch, Rachelle Erdmann, Mercedes Dumas, Danielle Karcz, Morgan Siolka, Emily Hendzel, Amanda Bodart, Amanda Koepsel, Bayli Whalen, Morgan Denzer, Quinten Grezkowiak, Noah Clough, Logan Paschke, Genna Adamski, and Morgan Motiff attended the EDGE Conference. Pam Engel, Lannoye Principal, stands with the Girl Scout group who volunteered to help at the family reading night.
Lannoye Elementary School held a Family Reading Night on April 13. This was a fun family night focused on reading and the mystery genre. There were many activities on Family Reading Night. There were guest readers in the Library. Anne Mead of the Pulaski Branch of the Brown County Library was the first guest reader of the evening, Cindy Egnarski and Scott Uttech from the Figaros Pizza/Cousins Sub and student Jenna Egnarski read and performed the book Petes a Pizza, and Principal Pam Engel read to students and families to finish the evening. Other activities included family reading in the Library Media Center, parent information sessions about strategies families can use to help students improve reading fluency by Lannoye LST Linda Gantz, computer games in the Lannoye computer lab, a book exchange, a bake sale, and mystery themed arts and crafts projects in the art room. Mystery themed games for families were set up in the cafeteria. The games and were provided by Gnome Games and representatives of Gnome Games were there to assist students and families. Butterfly Books had a display and there was a 20 percent discount for families on any book sales during the evening. Funds raised by the bake sale and book raffle will be used to purchase books through the final PTO Book Fair at Lannoye and these books will be donated to classrooms. Extra books left
from the book exchange will be donated to St. Vincent Hospital emergency waiting rooms. Stephanie Heezen was the Lannoye coordinator for the April Book fair. Kerry NiemcekDruecke, the leader of the fifth grade Lannoye Girl Scouts and the Girl Scout troop, helped to plan and work the event. Girl Scouts who worked the event were Arianna Druecke, Eleanora Frank, Kaela Jones, Natalie Nickerson, Annicka Rabida, and Katelyn Spurlock. Parents of the Girl Scouts also assisted in various activites during Family Reading Night. Pam Engel, Principal of Lannoye Elementary, said, This was a great collaborative event between the school, PTO, and the Girl Scouts. There was a great turnout, and it was planned so well that there was something for everyone who could attend. The Lannoye Girl Scouts did a great job and learned a lot about organizing and working a school event. They did a great job with this as a service project for their school, Engel said. Many Lannoye staff members also helped with the event. Along with Stephanie Heezen were Jessica Belanger, Lisa Bowen, Mary Chrisman, Jackie Coenen, Sharon Ellner, Pam Engel, Russ Finnessey-Cook, Linda Gantz, Susan Hancock, Glen Kellerman, Susan McMahon, Mary Pierson, Holly Smith, and Jodie Walker. Heezen said, All the staff at Lannoye School was so willing to help out with this event. This is a great staff to work with.
By Amanda Bodart On March 19 a group of PCMS students went to Stevens Point for EDGE. They did many things and learned about themselves during the workshops. The students who attended were Genna Adamski, Amanda Bodart, Noah Clough, Morgan Denzer, Mercedes Dumas, Rachelle Erdmann, Quinton Grzeskowiak, Emily Hendzel, Wesley Horch, Danielle Karcz, Amanda Koepsell, Morgan Motiff, Logan Paschke, Morgan Siolka, and Bayli Whalen. They all had lots of fun and will remember this experience for a while. During the weekend they all were secret agents. From a secret hand-
shake to figuring out puzzles, they learned a lot. The students got to sit with kids from all over Wisconsin and meet new people. I made new friends! Emily Hendzel said from EDGE. There were many types of classes a person could be, or what kind of centered person one could be. Do you know the definition of paradigm? Its how one sees the world and oneself. The students got to do activities learning about different paradigms. Also, they learned about a new point of view: principals. They each picked out his/her favorite six out of lots of words. A few were trust, success, and fearlessness. In the groups of new people,

Pulaski High School FBLA members attending the conference are Charlie Smoot, Brooke Coenen, Nick Douglas, Megan Coenen, Mike Clausen, Kristin Halla, Alison Blackford, Mallory Nickerson, Brenna Adamski, Jenny Karrasch, and Kayla Wilcox.
Logan Smith and his mom Holly Smith are happy that he came to Lannoye to speak with the fifth graders.
Brenna Adamski is standing proudly next to Nick Douglas with their State Level awards. Adamski placed fourth and Douglas placed second.
On April 12 and 13 the Pulaski Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) attended their state conference at the Chula Vista Hotel in Wisconsin Dells. The conference brought together over 2,300 students, advisers, and guests for an enthusiastic and memorable experience. FBLA participants from all over Wisconsin gathered at Wisconsin Dells Chula Vista. During the two-days spent there, members competed in business-related events, attended workshops and delegate assemblies, and elected the new State Executive Board members. The first and second place winners for each event have the opportunity to advance to the
National Leadership Conference, which will be held in Nashville, Tennessee on July 14 to 17. The speaker this year was Jonathan Sprinkles. Jonathans message was How to be a Change Maker. His performance was engaging to the audience and motivating. Pulaski High School sent the following five participants to represent Pulaski High School: Brenna Adamski (Word Processing), Nick Douglas (Network Concepts), Mike Clausen (Accounting l), Mallory Nickerson (Intro. to FBLA), and Kayla Wilcox (Spreadsheets). Nick Douglas finished second, which qualifies him for Nationals.
The fifth graders walked into the library at Lannoye elementary. They walk at attention, single file and silent. They know who is here to see them, Private Logan Smith. Private Smith, graduate of Pulaski High School class of 2007, has been coming and talking to the fifth graders since the 2008-2009 school year. Logan is the son of Holly and Dan Smith, Sobieski. The kids love it, said Jacqueline Coenen, a fifth grade teacher at Lannoye. Private Smith has been in the National Guard for three years. I joined the military because of my sense of pride, honor, selfless service, and because I always wanted to, said Private Smith. Private Smith is assigned Combat Engineer Route Clearance, meaning that he must search a designated route for IEDs and
other explosive devises. Private Smith talks to the students about life and the lessons he has learned not only in boot camp but school also. He tells the students to work hard and pay attention and to always do your best and you will go far. When he catches kids talking in the back row and not being respectful and quiet, the students had to come down and do push ups, good ones. Even so, the kids still love when he comes and talks to them. He gives them a real experience. Private Smith left April 18 for his first tour of duty in Iraq. The class will send him letters throughout his tour in Iraq. When he returns, he plans on starting a waterfowl guide service with his brother. His talks will be missed, and the kids are eager for him to come back and speak to them again.

Bee Extraordinaire
Liz Moehr congratulates Katelyn and Kortney Krajewski on their FCCLA accomplishments.
Jay Faikel of Howard speaks to the third graders at Sunnyside Elementary about bees.
Suzette Moores class poses with Abby Tracy, the 2010 Wisconsin Honey Queen.
By Makayla Erdmann Did you know bees are very clean, or that raw honey can help heal cuts? The third grade students at Sunnyside Elementary learned these answers on April 8 as they gathered in the commons for a bee presentation as a followup to their Plant Growth and Development Unit. To begin, Jay Faikel, a beekeeper, from Howard, talked to the students about the parts of a hive and some interesting facts. One fact he told the students was that the queen bee of the colony decides the mood of the hive. If the queen bee wakes up on the wrong side of bed and shes mad, the whole colony will be mad! On the other hand, if she wakes up happy, the whole colony will be happy. Another fact the students learned was after six weeks, worker bees wings will wear out. Thats because in order to produce one pound of honey, the worker bee has to fly 55,000 miles. Another fact the students learned was that if a bees stomach is too full, it cant sting people. Faikel also let the students take some honey right from the wax cells to try. Next, Abby Tracy, the 2010 Wisconsin Honey Queen from Watertown, Wisconsin, told the students some more facts they
had never heard about bees. For instance, bees do 100% pollination on cranberries, cucumbers, pickles, almonds, cherries, and other plants. Students also learned that bees make one third of our food supply. Did you know that the lighter the color of honey, the sweeter it is, and the darker the honey, the more healthy it is? All in all, you may not like bees because they sting you, but if the world didnt have bees, wed only have fish, wheat, water, and corn to live on. Karlee Krueger said, I think differently about bees now that I learned more about them. Bees are very helpful to the world.

The officer team stands with the National Gold Council of Excellence Award. Standing are Secretary Laura Kawleski, Treasurer Kayla LaPlante, President Megan McCray, Historian Kalie Mullins, and Vice-President Morgan Kobylarczyk.
For its exemplary record of leadership, service, and activities that serve to improve the school and community, Pulaski High School has been awarded a 2010 National Gold Council of Excellence Award by the National Association of Student Councils. Over 150 high schools were named National Councils of Excellence but Pulaski High School is one of 131 of those high schools nationwide to receive the highly-esteemed honor of being named a National Gold Council of Excellence, and one of only two in Wisconsin. To meet the requirements for the National Council of Excellence award, a student council
must demonstrate that it meets a variety of criteria. Those councils named to the Gold level have met a greater number of the criterion than other nominated schools. In addition to basic requirements such as a written constitution, regular meetings, a democratic election process, and membership in the NASC, schools that qualify for the award demonstrate such things as leadership training for council members, teacher/staff appreciation activities, student recognition programs, school and community service projects, spirit activities, goal setting, financial planning, and active participation in their state and national student council associations.
Kevin Ripley, Laura Dahms, Kathleen Gerds, Ellen Berg, and Julian Lacera represent the Pulaski High School Leo Club at the WPS Volunteer Awards program.
By Kevin Ripley Over 600 community leaders, business representatives, and area volunteers gathered at the KI Convention Center April 13 to be recognized by the Volunteer Center of Green Bay and by the Wisconsin Public Service for their efforts. Four high school students, two parents, and the Pulaski News advisor Kathleen Gerds attended this 22nd Annual WPS Volunteer Awards Breakfast. Beginning at 7 a.m., all attendees ate a catered breakfast of eggs, sausages, bagels, fruit, and muffins. After that, the award ceremony began, emceed by Tom Zalaski and Erin Davisson from WFRV-TV. This year Kathleen Bader, the PHS choir director, nominated Ellen Berg for her choral leadership. Gerds nominated Julian Lacera for his work as president of the Diversity Club and for his fundraising efforts for Haiti. Those two students, along with Gerds herself, were categorized
as Schneider National Foundation Volunteer Leadership Award nominees. In the running, amongst others, for the Schreiber Foods, Inc., Youth Volunteer Award, were Kevin Ripley and Carrie Trina, nominated by Gerds for their Pulaski Leo Club involvement. The Pulaski Leo Club as a whole, additionally represented by Laura Dahms, was nominated for the Green Bay Packers Large Group Award. Although no nominees from Pulaski were selected for awards this year, they no doubt have made a difference in the community. In a letter to the Leo Club prior to the event, Larry Borgard, the president and CEO of WPS, said, Thank you for the impact that your volunteerism has made on our community. We are proud to honor your group for brightening our community through your service, dedication, and impact on the community.

Pulaski High School Athletic Director Jerad Marsh presents Mike Berken with a plaque commemorating his 500th game.
By Steven Schlender When the Pulaski Red Raider Varsity baseball team battled the Green Bay West Wildcats, it was more than just a baseball game for Pulaski; it was a milestone for their coach, Mike Berken. With this game under his belt, Berken has coached 500 high school baseball games in his 31-year career at Pulaski High School. Berkens coaching started with Green Bay Babe Ruth League in 1975. After three years of Babe Ruth, Berken was hired at Pulaski High School as a math teacher. With the teaching position at the high school he also secured a coaching position with the freshmen team. At that time, the varsity coach was Bob Dettman. Berken coached the freshmen for two years then the junior varsity for 14 years. In the spring of 1996, Dettman retired from his position and Berken took up the position in his stead. He is now in his 15th season as the head coach of the varsity team. Berken started coaching initially because he, has always loved the game of baseball, said Berken. To me, it is the greatest game there is. He enjoys working with young adults. His brothers and his mother were very large influences in his love for the game of baseball, and, consequently, his love of coaching. Over the course of his coaching career, Berken has enjoyed working with all of the young men that have come through the Pulaski baseball program. Kids that play spring baseball love the game. The fields are wet; its cold, and yet theyre out there day in and day out, said Berken. Ive enjoyed teaching the game to ballplayers that have the same passion for baseball that I do. The mission statement for the baseball program that has evolved during Berkens tenure is: We will use the wonderful game of baseball and the spirit of athletic competition to develop ball players who are quality young men of high integrity that reach their potential as baseball players. Not only has Berken been coaching for 500 games, but those games have not come without success. Berken has led his teams to four Regional Championships and one Sectional Championship appearance. One of his most memorable and enjoyable experiences was coaching the North squad in the Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association All Star Classic last June. When my former Babe Ruth coach Ralph Jenquin called me when I was in college and asked me if I would consider helping him I certainly never expected
to be coaching 35 years later. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had the privilege to share my passion for the game with the many fine young men that have played baseball at Pulaski High School the last 31 years. I have had the privilege to work with many outstanding coaches, including16 years with Bob Dettman and over 10 years with Joel Jarock and Bill Mihalski both of whom played for me at PHS. I had the opportunity to coach under two outstanding athletic directors in Fred Kestly and Don Tolkacz, their support and friendship is greatly appreciated. I would like to thank the administrators, teachers and staff who have supported the Pulaski baseball program. The three athletic director secretaries I have worked with; Helen Kozlowski, Wink OBrien and currently Tari Novinska are three wonderful ladies and I thank them for their professionalism and support throughout the years. It would not be possible to commit 31 years to Pulaski baseball without the support and sacrifices of my children Emily and Ben as they were growing up. My final and fondest thank you is for my best friend and wife Jean, her tremendous support and undying devotion have allowed me to coach the game I love. Someday this journey will end, however I doubt my passion for the game of baseball ever will.

By Brooke Lauritzen If you were at the Pulaski versus Green Bay East softball game on April 27, you would have witnessed all cheers and smiles at the end of the game from the Raiders team. The Raiders softball team handed the Green Bay East Red Devils their first loss of the season, winning 4-2. The rival Red Devils were ranked seventh in the state of Wisconsin prior to their game against Pulaski. The top of the first inning was when Green Bay East scored only two runs off of two hits. The Raiders battled back and tied up the game a couple innings later. With few errors, dives in the outfield, and the bats starting to kick in, Pulaski pulled ahead 4-2. The Red Devils had one last chance to tie or get ahead in the top of the seventh, but the Raiders shut them down. As the crowd cheered and screamed, an East batter hit it right back at the Pulaski pitcher, Brooke Lauritzen, and she got the out at first. After an error and a double by the Red Devils, there were runners on second and third. Lauritzen struck out the next batter to get out number two. Green Bay Easts first batter was
up and hit a hard ground ball to Pulaski third baseman, Maggie Slezewski, and she got the final out of the game. Leah Keyes went 2-3 and Laci Kropp batted in two runs. Brooke Lauritzen threw a four-hitter.

He then worked for the Gimbles store in downtown Milwaukee. These were days of Cyrils fondest memories. Cyril then moved back to Pulaski and worked for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad, located in Green Bay, for 20 years. His passion was music. Cyril was a gifted pianist who began each day playing the works of Chopin and other masters of classical and popular music. He also enjoyed the company of his friends, Merrill Boucher, Lester Blaser, and Bro. Gregory. Driving to Green Bay for dinner, seeing the sights and reminiscing about the vibrancy of the city long ago were also much enjoyed.

future
Submitted by Andy Sulskis, Edward Jones. Mothers Day is almost upon us. This year, in addition to giving Mom some flowers and a card, why not brighten her day and her future by making a financial gift?
Your first thought might be that giving your mother a check may seem tacky. But these days, everyone can use a little extra cash. However, you can find other types of financial gifts that can have a longer-lasting impact. Here are a few ideas to consider: Help Mom fund her IRA. If your mother is still working, she can contribute to an IRA and she should. Either a traditional or Roth IRA is a great way to build tax-advantaged savings for retirement. Yet most people dont fully fund their IRAs each year. In 2010, your mother can put in $5,000 to her IRA, or $6,000 if shes 50 or older. While you cant directly contribute to her IRA, you can write a check for that purpose. Purchase an investment for Mom. If you can afford it, consider giving a few shares of stock, possibly issued by companies that make products or services your mother uses. (If you give shares that you own, youll need to keep records of your initial sales price; this information will be useful to your mother if she ever sells the shares and needs to pay capital gains taxes.) If you think your mother could benefit from an increase in her cash flow, you might consider giving her a corporate or government bond, which can provide regular interest payments. Take care of a debt payment. The lower your mothers debt payments, the more she can put away for retirement. While you probably arent in a position to pay off all her debts, perhaps you could handle a car or credit card payment as a Mothers Day gift. Make a charitable gift in Moms name. Your mother probably supports many worthy causes and a financial gift to any one of them, in her name, would probably please her greatly. Furthermore, your generosity may provide you with an immediate tax deduction, assuming the group to which you donate meets the tax deductibility guidelines established by the IRS. In fact, if you donated an appreciated asset, such as a stock, you could possibly get two tax breaks: a deduction on this years taxes and the avoidance of capital gains taxes that will result from the eventual sale of an asset. Before donating this type of asset, though, consult with your tax advisor. Provide Mom with some financial education. If your mother doesnt know much about investing, you might get her a book on the topic. Or, better yet, if you have a financial advisor whom you trust, introduce him or her to your mother. Once your mother enters her pre-retirement and retirement years, she may have many issues such as cash flow management, estate planning and investing to stay ahead of inflation for which she could use the help of a financial professional. Mothers Day comes and goes in a day but by making the right type of financial gift to your mother, your generosity can be felt for years to come. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. Edward Jones does not provide tax or legal advice. Specific questions regarding gifting should be referred to a qualified tax or legal professional.
