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

Acrostic Poems come to Pulaski


By Tyler Lepak Pam Bluma, a resident of Pulaski, has a rather unique talent. Bluma has brought acrostic poems to Pulaski and the surrounding areas. Ive been writing poems since I was a teenager and never had any idea that they would go anywhere. Just recently I started making a special type of poem. Its called an acrostic poem, Bluma said. According to Bluma, acrostic poems are poems that use letters of a word to branch out and describe that word. Blumas determination to start publishing her poems all started with a friend, who she looked up to, died. When the Pulaski Fire Chief died, it fueled my determination
to keep going forward with my poems, Bluma said. Since the fire chief passed away, Bluma has published well over 200 poems. According to Bluma, she sells poems for any occasion, and can even personalize the poems, however since the task is to great to do by herself she gets help from a friend Kara, and designing companies. Ive been taking my poems to a whole new level. Now I put poems into picture frames, greeting cards, and even tote bags, said Bluma. The poems that Bluma writes are being sold at farmers markets, craft shows, Polka Days, the bank, and recently at Gabby Gails. Her poems have also been entered into competitions including Art Street.

Representative John Nygren

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.

Advanced Hearing Solutions Promotes Hearing Challenge


May 1 marked the start of Better Hearing and Speech Month, a month dedicated to educating consumers about the need to assure that their hearing is healthy. For the third year in a row, Advanced Hearing Solutions is joining forces with the Better Hearing Institute (BHI) in the Across America Hearing Check Challenge, a nationwide campaign to help millions of Americans reclaim their quality of life by facing unaddressed hearing loss. Spouses, Baby Boomers and their parents, and ALL families and friends in the Green Bay area are encouraged to rise to the challenge and get their hearing checked. In support of this program, Advanced Hearing Solutions will be providing complimentary hearing screenings throughout the entire month of May to those interested in learning more about their hearing. There is no obligation or charge for this screening but an appointment is necessary. Janet Thibert, a licensed doctor of audiology and owner of Advanced Hearing Solutions reported that she feels it is very important to have your hearing checked before a problem begins. By doing so, the screen serves as a baseline and can be compared to all future tests. If hearing loss already exists, it is a good idea to monitor hearing sensitivity annually to see if the degree of s\ loss is stable or getting progressively worse. If you would prefer to screen your hearing fist in the privacy of your own home, you can do so by visiting www.hearingcheck.org online and taking a simple, 15 question self screener. If this indicates a problem, you can then contact Advanced Hearing Solutions or your own hearing healthcare provider for a more3 thorough assessment and consultation. We know that unaddressed hearing loss can seriously affect a persons quality of life and can have a tremendous impact on relationships, says Thibert. We see it every day in our practice and hear it from our patients and their concerned family members and friends. We also know that too many people wait years, before getting treatment, either unaware of the extent of their hearing loss or reluctant to confront it. Research shows that hearing loss can affect everything from job performance to sexual intimacy. And when someone experiences unaddressed hearing loss, it can erode the sufferers quality of life, undermining family relationships, interfering with short-term memory, and creeping into virtually every aspect of daily living. The signs of hearing loss can be subtle and emerge slowly or they can be significant and come on suddenly. Either way, there are common indications. Signs of hearing loss include not being able to hear well in a crowded room or restaurant, having trouble hearing children and women, keeping the television or radio turned up to a high volume, needing to ask friends and family to repeat what they are saying, or experiencing ringing in the ears. Most people do not have to suffer the consequences of unaddressed hearing loss, says Sergei Kockin, PhD, Executive Director, BHI. Simply by getting their hearing checked and addressing their hearing loss, so many Americans can reclaim their quality of life. If you would like more information about Better Hearing and Speech Month, or to schedule an appointment for a complimentary hearing screen, you can contact a staff member from Advanced Hearing Solutions at (920) 4346777 or online at www.advhearingsolutions.com.

winter eagles. The trail is a project of the Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Endangered Resources Program. The public nominated National Forest sites, State Natural Areas, county, city, and State Parks, private museums, nature centers, and US Fish & Wildlife Service properties for the project. A system was used to rank each site and those that ranked the highest were selected for the project. The Wisconsin Department of Tourism produced fullcolor viewing guides for each of the five birding and nature trails. The trails are mapped auto trails that cover every area of our state. Signs with a Sandhill Crane (once hunted to near extinction) logo are featured on the trails. The trails consist of more than 350 sites providing adventures in each of our 72 counties. The trails are based upon the following regions: Lake Superior/North Woods Birding and Nature Trail 2004 Mississippi/Chippewa Rivers Birding and Nature Trail 2005 Lake Michigan Birding and Nature Trail 2006 Central Sands Birding and Nature Trail 2007 (our region) Southern Savanna Birding and Nature Trail 2008 To learn more go to http://dnr. wi.gov/org/land/er/birds/trail.htm Please practice being responsible citizens by helping protect and preserve our wildlife and environment for future generations to enjoy. By doing so we will help prevent the wildlife in our backyards from being endangered, threatened, or even extinct.

The Great Wisconsin Birding & Nature Trail


I had the pleasure to view Birds In Wisconsin on WNPE late one evening and what an interesting program. I learned about the Great Wisconsin Birding & Nature Trail, not only that, but that Wisconsin ranks third in the nation (tied with Alaska-the land of the Last Frontier) as the best places to view birds and wildlife, ranking Virginia first, Minnesota second. What a reminder not to take our backyard for granted. People travel to our state from across the nation and other places in the world to view some of the birds and wildlife that make our backyard their home. Wisconsin is home of more than 400 species of birds. Some of the birds include the rare worm-eating warbler, shorebirds, eagles, loons, cranes, herons,

Approximately 268 species of waterfowl and 100,00-200,000 Canada geese stop at the Horicon Marsh the largest freshwater cattail marsh in the United States, often referred to as the Everglades of the North. The Mississippi River is one of the nations largest bird migration corridors and is a top spot for viewing.

Allen Canning was represented by Brian Siolka who, for years, has packed up, loaded, transported, and unloaded pallets full of canned vegetables donated by Allen Canning. Tom Wojcik, from Allen Canning, has worked with the local Scouts to donate thousands of cans, of mostly corn, through the Scouts annual Food Drive. The Pantry also wanted to recognize all of the Pantry vol-

unteers: George and Claudia Sanders, Bill and Mary Derricks, Walter and Marian Kroll, Tim and Janet Meydam, Pastor Bob and Trudy Wied, Kitty Kaari, Rosie Wiand, Mary Kurzynski, Leann Hohne, Rose Andre, Mark Heck, Dorothy Mroczynski, Harry Slezewski, Deb Schneider, and FCCLA Student representatives Callie Bercham and Alexis DeCaster. Other volunteers who could not make it were Connie Huxford, Tom and Joyce Beyer, John Kurzynski, Liz Moehr, Katie Titler, Tess Radecki, Jean Skovera, Father Pat Gawrylewski, and Pete Ademino. Finally, many thanks goes to Pastor Bob for the financial overlook and dinner prayer, to Wouters Front for the great food, and to Connie Huxford for her handmade brooches with thoughtful written sentiments for our volunteers.

David Kempa wins International RFK Award


A Carnegie-Knight News21 reporter from Arizona State University won a prestigious Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights announced today. David Kempas story Crossing Lines, about one mans mission to help impoverished Mexican farmers, won the RFK Award in the college print category. It is the second consecutive year a student at ASUs Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication won the award. Kempa, who earned his masters degree from Cronkite in December, was part of a team of Cronkite students who participated last summer in News21, a national journalism education initiative funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation. As part of the program, students from 12 universities around the country take part in topic seminars and summer-long reporting projects. The program has been headquartered at the Cronkite School since 2008. Kempa, 26, of Pulaski, traveled to the U.S./Mexico border and deep into Mexico to tell the story of Jesus Hernandez Arias, a Mexican native who almost died while trying to cross the desert. Hernandez, convinced that no one should have to take such chances to earn a decent living, decided to devote himself to helping farmers in a small Mexican town develop markets for their produce. The story is presented in an innovative way on the News21 website with photos, maps and video interspersed. Text versions of the story appeared in a number of newspapers as well, including the Taiwan News and the Sacramento Bee. The RFK Journalism Awards program honors outstanding reporting on issues that reflect Robert F. Kennedys concerns, including human rights, social justice and the power of individual action in the United States and around the world. The awards were established after the U.S senators assassination by journalists who covered his historymaking presidential campaign in 1968. This years winners in the professional categories included The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and ABC News 20/20 program. The awards will be presented by RFKs widow, Ethel Kennedy, and Committee Chair Margaret Engel at a ceremony May 26 at George Washington University in Washington. Winners receive a bust of Robert Kennedy created by sculptor Robert Berks. Last year, Cronkite students also won the college RFK award for a project on families divided by the U.S./Mexico border. In honoring Kempas work, judges said that he addressed the complicated issue of immigration in a fresh way that contributes to efforts to solve the problem. The reporter found engaging characters and compelling situations. He connected their stories seamlessly, capturing readers attention on a vital and heart-rending social issue. Kempa said Ethel Kennedy called him personally to tell him he had won the award. She was very earnest and friendly, he said. I felt like I was speaking with a family member, but the thought kept bouncing around in my head: Im talking to an American icon! Kempa, who now works in New York City writing the global markets and equities newsletter for Thomson Reuters, said he hopes to have more chances to write in-depth about topics like immigration. I was able to talk to families of Mayan descendents who were telling me that a large proportion of their town had risked their lives to earn a living, he said. Winning this award makes me feel like I was writing about the right thing. Kempa worked under the direction of Rick Rodriguez, the Cronkite Schools Carnegie Professor of Journalism, and Jason Manning, ASUs director of Student Media, who served as managing editor of the ASU project. Manning described Kempa as a talented reporter and writer whose work ethic and dedication to good journalism shine through in this story, which challenges the easy assumptions that are so often made about immigration. The students participating in this project are being given a rare opportunity the time and means to do thoughtful, indepth and challenging journalism, Manning said. We knew from the beginning that this story would be important, compelling and difficult to do. The News21 project provided the necessary support and resources, and David provided outstanding effort.

Wheres the 10-10-10?


Submitted By Amy Damveld Wolf River Master Gardener The fertilizer labeled as 1010-10 has been around for a long time. It has been used for many years as a general all purpose fertilizer. It is easy to use, simple by spreading on the entire garden and tilling in with a rotary tiller. If you are an avid vegetable or flower gardener and use 10-1010 fertilizer for your garden, you may have a hard time finding it this year. Beginning April 1, 2010, fertilizer that is labeled as containing phosphorous cannot be applied to lawns or turf in Wisconsin unless the fertilizer application qualifies under certain exemptions. The rule was signed into law by Governor Doyle in April 2009 and the bill, 2009 Wisconsin Act 9 modified Chapter 94, Wisconsin Statutes. The intent of the law is to provide protection to Wisconsins lakes, rivers, streams and other waste resources from phosphorous run-offs. The new rule restricts the use, sale and display of turf fertilizers labeled

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.

no later than May 10, includes continental breakfast, speaker, luncheon, and memento. There will be no registrations accepted after that date or at the door. Reservation forms are available from parish society presi-

dents, or you may register by mail by sending your name, address, phone number, and check made out to Green Bay DCCW for the fee by May 10 to: Joanne Weldon, Marion Day Registrar, 3540 Cty. CC, Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235.

2009 Consumer Confidence Report for 40503551 PULASKI WATERWORKS


Water System Information: Health Information:
If you would like to know more about the information contained in this report, please contact Tom M Rodgers at (920) 822-8618. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agencys safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791). Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Environmental Protection Agencys safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).

Beware of dog bites


There are tremendous responsibilities and potential liabilities that come with owning a dog. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports there are approximately 4.7 million dog bites per year, resulting in 800,000 injuries that require medical attention. Half of those injuries are to people under the age of 18. Dog behavior is a serious concern for everyone. Insurance companies often pay civil judgments for dog bites that happen on their customers properties. Those payments affect insurance premiums that policyholders pay. The Centers for Disease Control and the U.S. Humane Society offer the following tips on how to prevent dog attacks. Share this information with your loved ones for protection in a variety of situations. For owners:

To obtain a summary of the source water assessment please contact Tom M Rodgers at (920) 822-8618

Educational Information

The sources of drinking water, both tap water and bottled water, include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include:


Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally- occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which shall provide the same protection for public health.

Number of Contaminants Required to be Tested


This table displays the number of contaminants that were required to be tested in the last five years. The CCR may contain up to five years worth of water quality results. If a water system tests annually, or more frequently, the results from the most recent year are shown on the CCR. If testing is done less frequently, the results shown on the CCR are from the past five years.

Responsibility as a dog owner begins before the puppy or dog is brought home for the first time. Research dog breeds and select a dog suitable to your family and lifestyle. If you are buying a puppy, ask to meet the parents and observe the setting in which the young dog was raised. Train or socialize your dog. Dont play aggressive games with your dog. Spay or neuter your dog. Seek professional advice if your dog starts to become aggressive, such as growling or nipping. Closely supervise children when around dogs. The size of a child may cause a dog to act in a dominant way toward a child.

If a strange or threatening dog approaches, stand still. Dont run or scream. Try to back against a tree or car. If you have time, climb on a car or up a tree. Then call for help. If the dog moves away, you can then move away carefully. If a dog knocks you down, lie on the ground with knees tucked to your chest and a fist over each ear. Remain very still and quiet. Dont stare. 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.

FFA middle school students attend EDGE Conference

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,

4-K children enjoy a night of fun


By Margaret Pelton and Josh Krueger A night of fun at the spring PEEPtacular proved to be a great success. Many children and parents attended the PEEPtacular event on April 15. Highlights of the night were a hot dog meal for a dollar, fun games for the children, a free book for each student, and fun with friends. The PEEPtacular event was a chance for the area PEEP program to display its teaching strategies to the parents of 4-K students, and a chance for the young children to enjoy hands-on learning with their friends. Rob Kinner, the parent of Robert Kinner who is involved in the PEEP program, said, I like that theyre displaying teaching techniques and that the learning is hands on. Another parent, Becky Duffrin, said, Its an excellent educational opportunity for kids to explore hands on learning within the Pulaski School District. Adding to the success and the value of the spring PEEPtacular was the fact that teachers were on hand to talk to parents and work with the children. Sherri Olson, parent of Taylor Olson, said, Its a great learning experience for the kids in the PEEP program and a wonderful family event.

Nicholas and Sawyer Kuczer play in the soil at the Spring PEEPtacular at Glenbrook Elementary School. In keeping with the Franciscan heritage of Silver Lake College, the Service Award is offered annually to those students who are currently active in volunteer community service and /or religious service activities, both on campus and in the larger community. Craig Majewski was one of 18 students to receive the award this year. He is the son of Dennis and Joan Majewski, Pulaski.

Hillcrest Optimists selected for May


The Optimist Winners for the month of May from Hillcrest Elementary are Jaylynn LeBeau, a fourth grade student in Eric VandenHeuvels classroom, and Devan Alonso, a kindergartener in Nancy Salmons classroom.

The night was made possible by a dedicated group of volunteers. The adult volunteers were assisted by members of Leo Club and the youth group from New Life Community Church. The Glenbrook Family Fun Night was once again a fantastic opportunity for students and parents to have fun together.

Wisconsin FBLA 56th Annual State Leadership Conference

Private Smith visits Lannoye

Students do well at jazz fesitval


The PHS Jazz Band program (Red Raider Jazz, Jazz 2 & 3 and Jazz Combo) attended the Eau Claire Jazz festival last weekend, and all ensembles did very well. Students receiving Outstanding Soloists Awards are Red Raider Jazz: Brandon Kryger, tenor sax; Blake Smith, trombone; and Corey Whitt, soprano sax. The Outstanding Soloist from Jazz 2 is Aaron Schroeder, trombone; and the Outstanding Soloists from Jazz Combo are Blake Smith, trombone and Corey Whitt, alto sax.

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

FCCLA attends State Competition


By Kortney Krajewski From April 6 to 8, Pulaski FCCLA members, with advisor Liz Moehr, attended the 2010 FCCLA State Leadership Conference located at the Kalahari Resort and Waterpark in the Wisconsin Dells. This is the only opportunity in Wisconsin for students to study the family and consumer skills to help prepare them for the future. Wisconsin FCCLA members listened to speaker Ryan Porter who taught the members about the importance of leadership. His message inspired members to connect with an act on their dreams, deflate peer pressure, stay focused in class, and achieve greatness in everything they do. FCCLA members also had a chance to widen their leadership skills by attending breakout sessions that taught FCCLA members how to become better leaders in their school and community. Pulaski FCCLA members also competed with other schools throughout the state of Wisconsin in variety of events for a chance to honor Wisconsin FCCLA at the 2010 National Leadership Conference this summer. Four Pulaski FCCLA members competed in these events from Pastries and Baked Goods to Teach and Train. Each member impressed the judges with their projects that taught about family and consumer science topics. Also, Wisconsin FCCLA members attended the STAR event recognition ceremony to find out how each member did. Kelsey Lang received a silver medal in Teach and Train. Michael Kurowski received a gold medal and a first place finish in Pastries and Baked Goods, and Katelyn Krajewski and Kortney Krajewski received silver medals and national qualifier spots in Illustrated Talk. Katelyn Krajewski and Kortney Krajewski have advanced and have the chance to represent Wisconsin FCCLA at the 2010 National Leadership Conference from July 4 to 8 in Chicago, Illinois.

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.

PHS receives National Student Council Award Students recognized


Receiving an NASC National Gold Council of Excellence Award indicates a dedication on the part of the local school to providing a strong, well-rounded student council program, said Jeff Sherrill, associate director of NASC. NASC applauds the work of the National Gold Councils of Excellence and challenges them to continue their exemplary efforts to serve their schools as the elected representatives of their student body. Dexter McNabb, associate principal of PHS, said, It is a great honor and feat for the students of Pulaski High School to have achieved this. From the administration, we are proud and excited for what they have accomplished. The National Association of Student Councils (NASC) promotes and provides leadership development opportunities to prepare and empower students to serve their schools and communities. NASC is a program of the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP). The NASSP, the preeminent organization and national voice of middle level and high school leaders, also sponsors the National Honor Society (NHS) and the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS), which recognizes outstanding middle level and high school students who demonstrate excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. For more information on NASC, visit www.nasc.us.

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.

Pulaski track and field duals Bay Port

By Sara Brown On April 26, Pulaskis track and field team held a dual meet against Bay Port. The boys had a great meet with many first place victories. James Anderson won the 100 meter dash along with triple jump. Jon Enderby did an amazing performance and took first in the 800 dash. Brett Smith won the long jump while Jake Kolinski won the high jump. The girls also had a good meet and worked hard for the first place achievements. Brittni Wirtz won the 100 meter dash while Deedra Irwin took first in the 1,600 meter run. Pulaskis 3,200 meter relay also took first. Mallory Nickerson won the discus. As these meets progress, Pulaskis track and field athletes keep working hard to succeed in their track and field careers.

Pulaski loses a heartbreaker


By Steven Schlender On April 27, the Pulaski Red Raider varsity baseball team squared off with FRCC rivals the Notre Dame Tritons. The Raiders got off to an excellent start, scoring four runs in the first couple of innings. The Raiders were then successful in holding the Tritons scoreless through the fifth inning. The Tritons came back with quality hitting against the excellent performance of Pulaski starting pitcher AJ Huxford. When the Tritons had the bases loaded with no outs, Alex Smithback relieved Huxford on the mound. Despite quality pitching from Smithback, the Tritons hit the ball well and put up five runs in the sixth inning. With the Raiders final at bats of the seventh inning, they had runners in scoring position but came up short and could not pull out a victory. The Raiders lost to Notre Dame in a hard battle 5-4.

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.

Pulaski struggles with Preble


By Steven Schlender The Pulaski Red Raiders played the Preble Hornets in FRCC baseball action Tuesday, April 20. The game got off to a solid start with A.J. Huxford pitching for the Raiders. Early on the score was tied 1-1. The Hornets, however, put together a strong hitting performance against the Raider pitching, and a couple of Raider mishaps occurred on defense. Although the Raiders would go on to score two more runs with the help of Jake Blochs two hits, they could not overcome the 13-3 loss to Preble.

By Steven Schlender In FRCC varsity baseball action Saturday April 17, the Pulaski Red Raiders squared off against the DePere Redbirds in a double header. The Raiders had their best hitting performance of the season so far during the first game. Alex Smithback and Kyle Kubiak led Pulaskis hit parade to get the Raiders their first victory of the year with a score of 13-4. During the second game, the Redbirds came out swinging and managed to pull out an 8-4 victory against the Raiders. Kyle Kubiak continued his hitting during the

second game event though the Raiders came up short.

Red Raider Golf falls short

Go green with your technology


To celebrate Earth Day and Arbor Day, Cellcom has taken up the challenge to plant trees and move more customers to paperless billing. If every American recycled just one-tenth of his/ her newspaper, 25 million trees would be saved each year. Cellcom also recommends the following green tips for technology and your cell phone: Unplug your device chargers when youre not using them. Chargers continue to draw small amounts of electricity even when not in use. Dont overcharge your battery. Leaving a cell phone on the charger when its reached a full charge will not add to the battery life. When a cell phone has reached full charge, unplug both the device and the charger. Shut down computers at night and use power strips for electronic set ups (computer, printer, speakers or TV, DVD player, cable box). Again, these items continue to draw power, and when turned off and unplugged by flipping the power strip, energy can be saved on these big ticket items. Use a cell phone as an alarm clock. Almost all cell phones come with an alarm clock option. By using this function, you could eliminate the need for a plugged in alarm clock. Sign up for online billing if possible. Most of the technology companies that provide service to your house (cable, internet, cell phone, etc.) offer paperless billing. The average household throws away 13,000 separate pieces of paper each year; many of those pieces are included in billing statements. Online billing is usually faster and easier with online payment options to coincide with the billing. Small efforts can add up, and these quick green technology tips can help save money and energy.

What do buyers see?


condition, perhaps a coat of paint is in order, to give it a fresh, crisp look. The Mailbox Again, perhaps a coat of paint will be needed or if the mailbox is old and beat up, a replacement can be inexpensive and shows that you care about the property. Shrubs Take time to trim the shrubs, this job does not have to be done by a professional, just make them look neat. The Lawn Freshly mowed and trimmed. If you need to fill in some bare spots, sow some seeds to fill in or a piece of sod. Now, lets take a look at the house. Exterior Paint If you have peeling paint, scrape and repaint. Remember, the better impression your home gives, the quicker it will sell, and the more you will gain from the sale. Exterior Siding Hose off siding if there are areas that are dirty using a product designed for that material. Doorway or Entrance Sweep around the doorway. Clear any cobwebs, ect. Repaint the front door if needed. Apply new hardware; install a new brass kick plate. Clean or replace house numbers. Clean or install a new light fixture. Roof Nobody wants to replace a roof, be it you as the seller, or the buyer. But it is a fact that if your roof isnt in good shape, it will cost you. If the roof is old and needs to be replaced, consider having the work done before showing the property. Replace or repair flashing if needed. Paint eaves and fascia boards if necessary. Gutters and Downspouts Having neat, functional gutters and downspouts show that you have cared for the property. If there is a pattern of erosion in the run off area, consider installing a spillway. (Concrete or other). Driveways What is the surface condition of your driveway? Pull out any grass or weeds growing through the cracks. If it is stained, consider resealing it with a high quality sealer product. For all your real estate needs contact Lori @ 822-4663 or email: lori@country priderealty. comw

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.

Leisgang wins photo contest for March


Dynamic Designs is pleased to announce the March 2011 Community Calendar Photo contest winner! For the month of March, the winning recipient is Charlotte Leisgang who photographed a property she came across. She submitted a photo titled The House with Nobody In It. The house is adjacent to an old stone barn that is also slowly passing away. The original log house on the property belonged to a bachelor, named John Kornaus, which burned down prior to 1940. In 1940 neighbors helped rebuild the house that Leisgang submitted for the photo contest. Kornaus eventually moved to Two Rivers in his final years and passed away in 1978. Just as interesting as the photo submitted was why Leisgang had submitted the photo in the first place. An intriguing poem by Joyce Kilmer entitled The House With Nobody In It inspired Leisgang to enter the photo contest. Leisgang will receive a $20 gift certificate to Dynamic Designs and a framed photo of her winning entry. The theme of the Community Calendar Contest this year is Old Buildings and Barns. The contest is open to residents or non-residents of Pulaski and the surrounding communities that had or have ties to the area. Send your photo(s) and a description detail of the photo, photographers name, address and phone number to Dynamic Designs Unlimited, P.O. Box 470, 220A S. St. Augustine, Pulaski, WI 54162. Information and inquiries may also be emailed to dynamicdesigns@netnet.net. In the subject line, please indicate Calendar Contest. Acceptable electronic files include: JPEG, TIFF, or PDF with a DPI of at least 300.
