Tri-County Community Corp changes name

By Tammy Brzeczkowski In efforts to attain more exposure to the community and surrounding areas of Pulaski, the Tri-County Community Corporation has changed its name to the Pulaski United Foundation (PUF). The corporation has been in existence since 1942. Originally, it was known as the Pulaski Community Fund. The original purpose of the fund was to support the efforts of the American Red Cross, the USO, and other patriotic World War II activities. The organization has been accredited to lending its resources to a variety of activities throughout Pulaski and surrounding areas in Brown, Shawano, Oconto and Outagamie counties. For example, $5,000 was donated to the Let There Be Light projected that helped to illuminate the football/soccer field at Pulaski High School. On an ongoing basis, the organization assists many organizations, businesses and families in need. Currently, their agenda holds the possibility of an amphitheater existing in Pulaski. With the name change also brought a new logo, which was designed by a local business, Dynamic Designs. The logo incorporates open hands to help promote the generosity theme of the organization. The purpose of Pulaski United Foundation is
to enhance the quality of life in Pulaski and surrounding areas by its resources. We just really want people to understand that we are here for our local community, said Board member Tammy Brzeczkowski. Its a great way to give to people and organizations that really need help. The current PUF Board of Directors consists of these individuals: Tammy Brzeczkowski, Paul Chrisman, Bill Derricks, Vice President Pat Gwidt, Executive Director Mark Heck, Dave Kubiak, Dr. Mel Lightner, Sam McMahon, Andy Van Sickle, Secretary Rick Ripley, and Bookkeeper Deb Schneider. Anyone can make a request to the board of directors at any regular Board meeting by calling Mark Heck at (920) 822-6050. Each year the organization has an annual meeting. This years annual meeting is on November 11, 2010. PUF is looking to expand its membership. Membership dues are only $24 per year, and that also enables you to vote. For more information on how you can help this organization or how you can join, contact Mark Heck at (920) 822-6050. You can also check out the website at www.pulaskipace. org.

By Cassie Zahn Each year, the U.S. Army AllAmerican Bowl showcases the talents of high school athletes and musicians from all across the country. Few athletes and even fewer musicians receive this prestigious honor. One hundred and twenty-five high school band students are selected to play the halftime show. Selection requires an intricate and grueling audition process that requires weeks and

even months of preparation and practice. Pulaski High School is proud to announce that Leigha Flagstad had been selected from the Pulaski Red Raider Marching Band to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl half-time show. Leigha is the daughter of Lori Graves and Dean Flagstad. On October 4, representatives from the U.S. Army conducted an honorary ceremony in the Ripley Performing Arts Center at the high school to announce Leighas selection. Among those in attendance were members of the VFW, AMVETS, PLAV, and American Legion, as well as a multitude of students and administration from Pulaski High, news crews, and Leighas closest friends and family. After opening comments from Dan Slowey, CoPrincipal of Pulaski High School, Leigha was officially announced as a member of the 2011 U.S. Army All-American Marching Band. Leigha graciously thanked the U.S. Army, her parents, her friends, all of the band students who auditioned with her, and Mr.

Busch, director of the Red Raider Marching Band. It was such a challenge to get here, but I am so excited to work with the best musicians in the country, said Flagstad. Flagstad will travel to the Alamo Dome in San Antonio, Texas to play in the 4th annual half-time show of what is the largest high school sporting event in the country. The esteemed high school football bowl will take place on January 8, 2011. It is so awesome for Leigha to have the opportunity to go on this trip. We are so proud of how she applied herself to accomplish this; shes a really hard worker, said Dean Flagstad, Leighas father. For Leigha to be one of the 125 selected out of the thousands of applicants is an incredible feat, and the Pulaski community could not be more proud that she was one of the few to receive this honor. This accomplishment adds to the Red Raider Marching Bands already esteemed credibility and continued tradition of

St. Johns youth complete mission trip to Minneapolis

Dear Editor: On October 2nd we remembered our son Joshua Styczynskis death (one year ago to the day.) Some of his closest friends from high school came back home and stopped by our home and cemetery gravesite to say a prayer, talk about their year of college, and what Joshua might have been doing. Everyone who stopped by the house really appreciated the time spent with us. To the parents of the kids who stopped by, wed like to say that we really appreciate sharing them sharing their home time with us and we again thank your families. The real reason Im writing this letter is to report what happened at our local cemetery. One of the parents left a memory item at Joshuas gravesite, and it disappeared in less than two and a half hours. I believe that a person who steals from a cemetery or steals memories from any persons memorial is one of the lowest persons. P.S. Thanks to all the good people in the world, it helps lessen the bad. Sincerely, James Styczynski and family

D. Thomas Busch, Director of the Pulaski Red Raider Marching Band speaks at Leighas selection ceremony.

The entire St. Johns mission trip group included Dakota Dunks, Jesse Berg, Alyssa Cooper, Rebecca Deau, Alyssa Warren, Sierra Peters, Sami Berg, Amy Spaude, Kaitie Spaude, Colton Giese, Ben Cassel, Brad Wigger, Trish Berg, Ryan Spaude, Cole Krumrei, Chas Haas, Kendall Brehmer, and Bill Adkins.

Lets lick family violence

The tenth annual Lets Lick Family Violence campaign that is sponsored by the Green Bay Diocesan Council of Catholic Women (DCCW) will take place at parishes in the diocese during the month of October. The project involves women and youth handing out lollipops at designated masses and accepting donations for them. The money is then given to the domestic abuse shelter in the area. Since the campaign began in 2001, $131 thousand dollars have been collected, and it has helped to keep 16 abuse shelters in the diocese open and operating. For more information and/or to participate, contact Jackie Walker at (920) 434-1057.

Jordyn Lipsey from the Maple Grove Countryside 4-H and her horse Manch participated in the Shawano County Fair for the first year in the horse project. Together, they took two seconds in halter and showmanship. Jordyn and Manch won Walk-Trot Western Pleasure for grades 3-4. They also participated in costume class as Cruella and a Dalmation which earned them second place. First Place trophy donated by Blue Royal Stables INC of Bonduel. In addition, Jordyn exhibited her rabbits, photography and visual arts to the fair.

Submitted by Amy Spaude, Director of Youth Ministry Minneapolis is a city that will forever hold a special place in the hearts of 18 members of St. Johns Lutheran Church, Little Suamico. From June 27 to July 2, 15 youth and 3 adult chaperones from St. Johns in Little Suamico traveled to Minneapolis, Minnesota, on the youth groups annual mission trip. The participants worked through a Christian mission group called Group Work Camps, which provided the housing, food, and assignments for the work crews. St. Johns was one of five churches at Group Works, among congregations from Colorado, Kansas, Michigan, and Minnesota. Because of the large number of participants attending the Mission Trip, very few participants ever worked with a member from his or her own church. Instead, one or two participants from each church were mixed together along with one adult chaperone to form a crew. There were 13 crews in all. Each crew was then assigned one to three different work sites for the week. Most crews went to one site for the first two days of the work week and then transferred to another site for the following two days. The participants from St. Johns were as follows: Sami Berg, Brad Wigger, Alyssa Cooper, Rebecca Deau, Ryan Spaude, Alyssa Warren, Chas Haas, Amy Spaude, Cole Krumrei, Jesse Berg, Bill Adkins,

Kaitie Spaude, Kendall Brehmer, Trish Berg, Colton Giese, Sierra Peters, Ben Cassel, and Dakota Dunks The crews worked on a variety of sites and projects. Cottage Park, Plymouth School, and Kaleidoscope Place were centers for disadvantaged kids, while Friendship Ventures was a camp for disabled adults. Westwood Senior Center was just that, a senior center, and Hidden Treasures was a thrift store. Participants at Feed My Starving Children packaged dehydrated meals for third world countries, while those at Emergency Food Center repackaged food for disadvantaged people. Hope for the City was a warehouse distribution center for the disadvantaged people of Minneapolis, and Global Health Ministries was a ministry that donated personal health products to third world countries. Project for Pride in Living provided housing and assistance for low-income families, and Meals on Wheels provided meals to shut-in or low-income individuals. All of these sites, however, shared a common goal: to help the needy of this world, locally and far away. This mission trip brought back 18 very changed people who were amazed by Gods power to work through them to help others. Everyone had a wonderful, lifechanging experience, and cannot wait for next years trip.

Go green for the winter
By Graham Severson With another frigid winter right around the corner, it is time to think about how you can keep heating prices down and keep the environment a clean, healthy place for all. A few simple techniques and choices can lower that electric bill and improve the environment. Make sure your windows and doors are tightly sealed. The cold air that can come into your house through improperly sealed windows can chill your house and urge you to turn on the heat. Instead, go to a local home improvement store and get better seals. If that still isnt enough, wear more layers of clothes before deciding to raise the heat. A couple fewer degrees can go along way in reducing your heating bill. Instead of pouring toxic deicers on your frozen driveway like rock salt, throw plain sand on your driveway to get the traction needed. Toxic de-icers are dangerous and can harm your pets or wildlife. With it being freezing outside, people tend to remain indoors as much as possible. That being the case, your houses light bulbs will be used much more often. Think about replacing any old light bulbs with new fluorescent ones. This will reduce the energy needed to light your home and will light your house longer. If that is not enough to satisfy your green needs, when the holidays roll around, dont get a bag for every small gift you buy. Plastic and paper bags are hastily used every holiday season for even the smallest things. Next time, dont accept the paper or plastic on the small purchases and just carry it. Its time to think about how to lower that heating bill this winter and remain green. Just because it is unlikely that planting a tree in December will be successful, doesnt mean you cant help the environment. Not blasting the heat, using environmental friendly de-icers, and getting energy efficient appliances and light bulbs are just a few things you can do to stay green this winter.

A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm. ~Henrik Ibsen

Bickel said, The money for the paintings goes to help other kids when they are at the hospital so it is nice to be able to help other people. Bickel is excited that others get to see her painting. She said, I hope I get to do more in the future and show people that art therapy is really helpful if you are going through a hard time.

Brianna Bickel stands with her stepfather while holding her painting entitled Cancer Makes Me Feel Blue, that now hangs at ABVM Church.

Travis Thyssen and his grandfather Ralph Thyssen proudly display the 250 pound black bear that Travis shot in Bayfield County on September 23.

By Brooke Lauritzen A local 10 year-old girl named Brianna Bickel was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) on July 4, 2001, when she was 9 months old. Bickel has had chemotherapy, radiation, and a bone marrow transplant and has been in remission for 8 and a half years. Her daily life has been affected greatly by what she has gone through when she was younger. Among the support of her mother and stepfather throughout her cancer process, Bickel also has made her own artwork for therapy. According to Bickel, someone called her mother to ask if Bickel would like to make a painting for a childhood cancer art show. She accepted the offer and made two paintings, one that she has sold for $150 and one she got to take home. One of her paintings is called Cancer Makes Me Blue. It is a blue, sad picture of her while having cancer. I dont remember having cancer because I was little, but my mom and stepdad do and I know that they were sad, too, said Bickel. She also liked making the paintings because it was fun and she got to work with an artist and a therapy dog named Cree. The artwork from cancer patients was on display and for sale at the ARTgarage in Green Bay in September, which is childhood cancer awareness month. Proceeds benefited the Child Life Department of St. Vincent Hospital

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month

Every three minutes, one woman in the U.S. is diagnosed with breast cancer. Every thirteen minutes, one woman in the U.S. will die of breast cancer. There are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S.the largest group of cancer survivors alive today. Breast cancer research has provided better treatment options that are now less invasive, with faster recoveries and fewer longterm side effects. Finding breast cancer early, when it is most treatable, can mean the difference between life and death. Thats why the American Cancer Society has developed the following guidelines for the early detection of breast cancer, to help you stay well. The American Cancer Societys breast cancer screening guidelines are for women at average risk for cancer (unless otherwise specified) and without any specific symptoms. Yearly mammograms are recommended starting at age 40 and continuing for as long as a woman is in good health. A breast exam by a doctor or nurse should be part of a periodic health exam, about every three years for women in their 20s and 30s and every year for women 40 and older. Women should know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any breast change to their doctor without delay. Breast self-exam is an option for women starting in their 20s. Certain women, because of their family history, a genetic tendency, or certain other factors should be screened with MRI in addition to mammograms. If you think you are at higher risk for breast cancer, please talk with your doctor about your history and whether you should have an MRI. For more information on breast cancer screening, please call the American Cancer Society at 1-800 (227) 2345, anytime, day or night. Watch for Signs and Symptoms: The earliest sign of breast cancer is usually seen on a mammogram before a woman or health care professional can feel it. Larger tumors may become noticeable as a breast lump. Other possible signs of breast cancer include thickening, swelling, tenderness, skin irritation, dimpling, nipple pain, scaliness, ulceration, nipple retraction, or spontaneous discharge. All suspicious lumps or breast changes should be checked by your doctor. Know the Risk Factors: Aside from being female, age is the most important factor affecting breast cancer risk. About 77 percent of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer are age 50 or older. About 18 percent of breast cancer diagnoses are among women in their 40s. Risk is also increased by: Inherited genetic mutations (BRCA1 and BRCA2) A personal or family history of breast cancer Dense breast tissue (having more glandular tissue relative to fatty tissue in the breast) A breast biopsy with a diagnosis of hyperplasia (especially atypical hyperplasia)High-dose radiation to the chest as a result of medical procedures Reproductive factors including a long menstrual history (menstrual periods that start early and/or end late in life), never having children, recent use of oral contraceptives, postmenopausal hormone therapy, and having ones first child after age 30 Reduce Your Risk: Although there is no guaranteed way to prevent breast cancer at this time (which is why yearly mammograms are so important), there are steps you can take to reduce your breast cancer risk: Maintain a healthy body weight Engage in moderate to vigorous regular physical activity (at least 45-60 minutes on 5 or more days of the week) Reduce the amount of alcohol you drink, if you drink at all, to no more than one drink per day for women (and no more than two drinks per day for men) To learn more about breast cancer and what you can do to reduce your risk and stay well, please visit www.cancer.org/ breastcancer, or call us toll-free at 1-800-227-2345, anytime, day or night.

- October 21, 2010

By Tim Frisch and Andrew Lundin, Conservation Warden The Wisconsin DNR would like to remind all people in the area that hunting safety is a must, not just for hunters, but for everybody. The WDNR has a few legal requirements for those who may be out hunting and recommendations for those out doing other activities on hunting grounds. Some of the legal requirements are as follow: Anybody hunting during a gun-deer season, except water-fowl hunters, is required to be wearing blaze orange. For example, if you or anybody else is hunting turkeys during a gundeer season, you still must be wearing blaze orange. The legal requirement for blaze orange is a minimum of 50 percent above the waistline; Furthermore, if you are going to be wearing a hat, it must be at least half blaze orange as well. There are over 600,000 licensed gun-deer hunters in the woods every year, so safety is a must. As mentioned previously, safety is not just for the hunters. If you are outdoors doing a nonhunting activity, there is a list of recommendations for such people as well. First of all, it would be wise to go online and print off a copy of the WDNR season dates at dnr.wi.gov. Also you can pick up a copy at your local DNR office

Breast Cancer fundraiser helps support area survivor

By Chelsea Bartz and Aly Huxford A number of Pulaski businesses and schools took part in a recent fundraiser for breast cancer. A total of $400.03 was raised to support this cause. Pulaski High School was the biggest contributor of $150.21. Kudos goes out to PHS, said Barb Mleziva. From 7-8 p.m. on October 8, Making Strides against Breast Cancer held a candlelight vigil to honor a loved one by lighting candles to be placed as a candle light path to the pavilion. There was an additional fundraiser walk held October 9, at Green Isle Park called Making Strides against Breast Cancer. The proceeds went towards saving lives from breast cancer. Barb Mleziva of Pulaski area
is a breast cancer survivor. She was a speaker at Green Isle Park for the candle lighting, and she also participated in the walk the following day. Mleziva recently had her seventh surgery. The chemotherapy Mleziva is doing is only four years old. The American Cancer Society not only fights to find cures for breast cancer, but for all types of cancer. The American Cancer Society is a successor for breast cancer and increased Mlezivas survival rate by 30 percent. The fights not over, said Mleziva. Special thanks go out to Pulaski High School, ABVM, Pulaski Shell Station, Trailside gas station, MCL, Bay tek, Smurawas Bakery, Verns Hardware, Carrot Tree, Soundcheck, and Citizens Bank.

Deer hunting season safety not just for hunters

or hunting-license vendors where DNR licenses are sold. Non-hunters may not know that there are five separate gun-deer hunting seasons across the state, depending upon where you live. Hunter density varies from location to location, depending on your recreational location of choice. While not legally required, is highly recommended that non-hunters wear blaze orange while recreating outdoors during any of the gundeer seasons. Lastly, if you take residence in a wooded area, and typically let your pets run loose, or are taking them for a walk, you need to keep in mind their safety as well. During the gun-deer season your pets may be mistaken for game or other wildlife. A majority of Brown Countys deer management unit lies within what is classified as a metro unit. This simply means that the gun-deer season runs longer than the traditional nine-day season. The reason for this classification is to help control wildlife populations within major Wisconsin metro areas. If you take interest in finding out about updates or new laws of the WDNR, you can sign up for the WDNR newsletter by going to dnr.wi.gov, clicking on online services, and then going to subscribe to DNR updates. You can sign up for a variety of topics such

as hunting, fishing, trapping, environment, air and water quality, solid waste, boating, snowmobiling and forestry just to list a few. Furthermore, the WDNR would like to remind you about the Deer Donation Program. From 1999-2009, the program distributed over 3.1 million pounds of ground venison from nearly 70,000 deer donated by hunters. To find out the closest location to donate meat you can go to dnr.wi.gov. This is an extremely valuable community program and helps local pantries and needy families. Your participation is a great asset to the program. Locally, Hunt for the Hungry is a major contributor to this program. Last but not least, please remember the four core rules of firearm safety. The acronym is TABK, which stands for Treat every gun as if it were loaded, Always point the muzzle in a safe direction, Be sure of your target and beyond, Keep your finger out of the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot. Remember, safe hunting is no accident. For further information, you can contact Andrew Lundin, Brown County Conservation Warden, at 920-662-5434, or email him at Andrew.lundin@ wi.gov.

Pulaski student raises fish in aquarium

Gas leak causes school evacuation

Pulaski High School students gathered outside of the school during the evacuation. Marc Richmond displays his Labidochromis Caeruleus (electric Yellow Cichlid).

By Lindsay Tauscher and Ashlynn VanToll Marc Richmond first started with his interest of fish in 2008 when former Ag Teacher Brian Pinchart encouraged him to do a study with underwater biological filtration and the nitrogen cycle. Marc then took the project to Nationals and has been going ever since. Richmond now collects, breeds, and sells the fish. Currently, he breeds three types of fish: the Fosorochromis Rostratus (Peacock Cichlid), Sciaenochromis Fryeri (Electric Blue Cichlid), and Labidochromis Caeruleus (electric Yellow Cichlid) which are African fish that originate from the Rift Valley Lakes. Marcs aquatic setup includes two four foot aquariums, one six foot aquarium, and one two and a half foot tank. Richmond also has fish tanks at his neighbors house and some at school. In his spare time he likes to help with other

peoples fish set-ups. I enjoy raising the fish, and I find it calming, Richmond says. He is now helping design an Aquaculture System, which is currently being built at Pulaski High School. Marc sells his fish to people who want to add to their aquariums at home. He also sells fish to Advanced Aquarium Systems in Green Bay; while doing this, his father teaches him money management skills. His mom says they look quite nice, and she enjoys seeing all of the baby fish throughout the house. It usually costs $10-15 per month to feed all of his fish, and gets $60-75 per batch of baby fish. When it comes to his fish, Marc is willing to trade anything of interest to him. He also goes to auctions. Once, he traded clothes for a fish. In the future, Marc would like to start his own website to sell his fish online.

SAGA holds Cartwheel-athon

By Kalli Seglund and Jordan Stiede On Thursday, October 7, the Pulaski High School had to evacuate the building at 1:30 p.m. due to a natural gas leak. The gas leak took place between the Pulaski High School and the neighboring Pulaski Veterinary Clinic and was caused by a company digging in that area. The pressurized natural gas spewed from the severed line into the tree line. Due to the wind direction, the natural gas drifted towards the high school causing suspicion among the staff and students. Around 1:20 p.m., students who had a class in the math and social studies pod were affected first. Before there was an announcement, students in social studies were able to smell the gas leak and evacuated the building. Minutes after, Debbie Sparish made an announcement over the intercom to have all students and staff evacuate the building immediately. The fire alarm went off, and students and staff were outside the building waiting for further instructions. After everyone was out of the building, the Pulaski Police Department and the Pulaski TriCounty Fire Department along with WE Energies were at the scene. This is when students realized it was not a drill but an actual situation. Later, WE Energies

capped the leak and repaired the gas line. Students reacted in a calm way and met their sixth hour teacher on the south east portion of the school grounds near Crest Drive. For over an hour, students remained on their best behavior while waiting to hear from the administrators and staff for further information. After the administrators gave instructions to the teachers, students were anxious to see what would happen next. All sporting events and other school activities were cancelled for the night. Students had the choice of riding their bus home, riding home with a parent, or walking home. Students with cars were not allowed to drive home or even go in their car. However, they were able to come back after a couple of hours and get their car and belongings. Im extremely proud of our students, staff, police officers and firefighters in their response to this emergency situation said Dr. Mel Lightner, Superintendent of schools. It was amazing to see how everybody pulled together to make sure that we handled the emergency in a calm matter. Also much thanks to the bus drivers who rerouted their buses to pick up students at the high school. said Lightner. Our parents and community can be extremely proud of our staff, students and everyone involved in this matter.

Do you know who vandalized this?

When Larson was asked how she managed to put such an impressive in-depth history of Pulaski together, she said, Elaine Grygiel knew I was a writer who researches and writes corporate and institutional histories for my clients at Sanders Larsen Marketing/Communicators in Neenah. When she inquired about my interest in writing the history of Pulaski, I helped draw up a request for sponsorship from Nsight, which was also celebrating their centennial in 2010. Nsight agreed to pay for the books printing and stipends for the creative team. I recruited Kathleen Caylor as photographer, and my Neenah-based creative partner, Steve Massie, to do the book layout. Gloria Morgan and the staff of Dynamic designs sold and created the ads. Rob Riordan, the president and CEO of Nsight, anticipates how Nsight customers will utilize new communication tools. Nsight has teamed up with Cellcom and NetNet to give their customers fast efficient communication via cell phone service, internet, and email. Riordan anticipates the next big thing in communication will be femtocells. Femtocells are personal cell service base systems that boost signals from your home or office. This new device will be able to automatically update your facebook status or download music almost instantly. By figuring out what customers want and providing new technology quickly and efficiently, Nsight is able to excel in the communication business. Nsight would like to send a big thank-you to the entire Pulaski community for their support over the past century. Nsights many loyal customers have made it possible for the business to keep running strong as they look to the future. They will continue to invest in new technologies to keep their customers up to date on new devices and service in technology. Nsight will continue to keep Pulaski citizens communication connections strong.

Gymnasts pose after they participated in SAGAs first annual cartwheel-athon.

By Morgan Prentice On September 11, in honor of National Gymnastics day, SAGA Sports and Gymnastics held a Cartwheel-athon in Suamico for gymnasts of all ages. The cartwheel-athon was organized to help raise funds for SAGAs Booster Club which uses the funds to support its traveling, competitive gymnasts. Funds were also given to The Hugs Project, an organization supporting our troops overseas. The gymnasts asked family, friends, and neighbors to pledge money for every cartwheel they completed during the event. Some of the higher level gymnasts received pledges for performing more difficult skills like double back fly-aways off the high bar (double back summersaults off a bar). Overall, 16 gymnasts worked together to raise $2,500

that day. For our first annual Cartwheel-athon, I think it was a success, and Im hoping next year we will raise even more! said Jon Hovda, the owner of SAGA Sports and Gymnastics. SAGA had a contest to see who could raise the most money and rewarded the winner with a free SAGA Sports and Gymnastics T-shirt. Betsie Lesatz, 9, was the winner, raising $365. I had a lot of fun at SAGA with all my friends, and I hope I raise the most money next year too! said Lesatz. Anyone interested in signing up for classes, SAGA Sports and Gymnastics offers enrollment at anytime. Visit www.sagasports. us or call (920) 662-0111 to sign up today and you can participate in the next Cartwheel-athon!

This vandalism happened about two weeks ago, on my property within Pulaski Township. If you have any information regarding the damage, please call Bob Hon at (920)309-0006. Thank you for your help.

Lindstrom visits PHS

By Morgan Swiecichowski On October 5, Dan Lindstrom visited Joan Brylskis Geography classes. He is the Green Bay Urban and Regional Planner and is also a freelance urban Graphic Designer. Lindstrom is originally from Upper Michigan and attended University of Wisconsin-Green Bay to receive his bachelors degree and Ohio State University where he received his Masters degree. After attending UWGB, Lindstrom realized what condition the city was in, and saw himself coming back. He has been working in the planning field for the last six years, and has been employed as planner one for the city of Green Bay for the past year and a half. While speaking at PHS, he
helped students understand urban planning and career opportunities in the field. He also answered questions the students had and discussed changes on Military Street and other projects. PHS geography student Katherine Johnson said, I enjoyed his visit because he gave us a ton of knowledge and insight on what is happening in the Green Bay area. As an urban planner, Lindstrom develops long and short term plans for the community and aids in redevelopment. Lindstrom said, I love that I am never doing the same thing;there are always new jobs and opportunities in my field. His visit was a great way for students to learn about development and future career options.

The Optimist Winner for the month of September at Fairview School is Lydia Klopotic in Sarah Schmidts 4K class. Lydia enjoys helping out in the classroom.

PHS students attend college event

Mike Schroeder and Rachel Gullickson talk to a college representative at the St. Norbert College fair.

By Matthew Zey The Pulaski High School guidance department escorted two busloads of juniors to a college fair at St. Norbert College. At the event, students had the chance to get information about 120 colleges in Wisconsin and other surrounding states. Zac Suess said, It really helped me narrow down my college options.

The representatives at the tables were very generous about informing students of their schools benefits and opportunities which made the event a learning experience. Alexis Krusic said, It helped a lot to just ask some questions. Many students picked up brochures and pamphlets to bring back and look at later.

success so that they could, in turn, strengthen their efforts to reduce the effects of cancer. As a whole, we wanted to be more than just a club at Pulaski High School; we wanted to be awareness, positive action, and support, said Jena Stewart, club president. So far this school year, the Sting team has gotten the high school students involved in cancer awareness by selling ribbons specific to that months cancer. Eventually, the team also hopes to bring a guest speaker to the high school to heighten cancer awareness. For the month of October, Sting Cancer is promoting a Think Pink Week to raise breast cancer awareness by selling ribbons, t-shirts, and encouraging the students to wear pink all week. Also, fall sports teams are incorporating some kind of pink into their uniforms for their respective games or meets. Some teams are even going as far as to collect donations to go towards breast cancer awareness efforts. Pulaski High School students have done a phenomenal job thus far of helping Pulaski Sting Cancers efforts to reduce the effects of cancer in the community.

Pulaski students join the fight to Sting cancer

By Cassie Zahn Six years ago, Nick Nevascil, a faculty member at Preble High School and cancer survivor, started up a non-profit organization at Preble called Sting Cancer. The goal of this group was to raise cancer awareness and help members of the community affected by cancer. The organization started out small, but it has now significantly expanded to include a large portion of the Preble student population and its own chapters in other communities. Pulaski is the eighth community to join this cause with the establishment of its own Sting Cancer group at the high school near the end of last school year. The Pulaski chapter of Sting Cancer consists of students at Pulaski High School and their advisor, Pulaski High School counselor Katie Sukow. The team is committed to raising awareness for all types of cancer within the high school and also in the community of Pulaski. In addition to raising awareness, Sting Cancer also entails a Helping Hands portion of their organization designed to help families in the community directly affected by cancer by providing support financially, emotionally, and physically. The Pulaski Sting Cancer organization urges anyone in the community dealing with cancer or anyone that knows a family in the community dealing with cancer to contact them so that they can provide assistance. To start groups like this in other communities, Sting Cancer also includes a Sting It Forward section so that this organization can hopefully become a nationwide movement that reduces the effects of cancer. Over the summer, the Pulaski Sting Cancer team worked hard to start raising awareness and funds in order to support members of the community affected by cancer. The team held a brat fry in the Super Rons parking lot and also sold Sting Cancer t-shirts at the Pulaski Polka Days Craft Fair. At both events, the Sting team was ecstatic to get the word out about their organization to start the fight against cancer in the Pulaski community. At their booth in the Polka Days Craft Fair, the team met and talked to many who had lost loved ones to cancer and saw how emotionally taxing its effects were. Meeting these people made the Sting members more determined to make their group a

Pelegrin named Commended Student in National Award

By Kyle Renel, Dallas Rank, and Rachel Fischer The DOT of Wisconsin has donated eleven motorcycles to Pulaski High School for use in small engines and power equipment classes. Harley Greisbach said, These motorcycles are important to small engines and power equipment because it is easier to show differences and teachers know how to work on the motorcycles. The Pulaski Tech. Ed. Depart-

ment is happy to use these motorcycles for hands-on activities. Pulaski High School received these motorcycles because of Justin Meyer, a Pulaski grad, who also works at DOT and goes to Madison Area Tech. These motorcycles that Justin gave Pulaski High School were given to us so we can learn how to fix up the bikes. These bikes were retired bikes and can no longer be used on the road, but only for fixing up.

Football team puts up a tough fight
The Pulaski Red Raider football team traveled to Ashwaubenon on the night of October 1, to take on the rivaled Jaguars. The team went into the game off of a good win the week before against Green Bay East. The team went out with the right mentality and wanted a win, said Senior Tight End Matt Vesco. The Red Raiders started off well with the game being a stalemate at 0-0 as they fought hard. They only let up 14 in the first quarter which gave the Jags the lead 14-0. Pulaski continued to go to battle every drive, but as Ashwaubenon put up 17 more points ,they proved to be very challenging for the Raiders. Going into the half down by 31, we kind of had our dobbers down. We came out the second half really pumped, and we were just ready to play some ball, said Senior Quarterback Race Noeldner. The Red Raiders played out the second half extremely well, with the offense putting up 7 points and the defense shutting down the Jags. The game ended with a 31-7 score to Ashwaubenon, but the Raiders looked to bounce back and win their next three games as it is necessary to make a playoff run. Come support the Pulaski Red

punt the ball to the other team in order to gain field position (more yardage). When the other team gets the ball, they become the offense and the team that punted becomes the defense. The defense can steal the ball back from the offense by recovering the football if it is fumbled by the offense and by intercepting passes thrown by the offense. When a team reaches the end zone (called a touchdown), they are given six points. After a touchdown, teams have an opportunity to score an extra point or to score an extra two points. Most often, teams chose an extra point since scoring one point is much easier. Cheering for a team is very simple. Whenever people witness a long run, a nice pass and completion, or a nice defensive play, they should cheer. People attending the game should make sure to sit in the section designated for their team. Football is considered one of the most difficult sports to comprehend, but with time and knowledge of the basic concepts, it can be better understood.

How to view football

By Devin Hynes Football, although appearing to be an extremely complex sport, can easily be understood if one pays close attention. Our local team, The Pulaski Red Raiders, plays in the FRCC conference during the fall. Many rules can only be picked up by watching the sport, but the basic concepts are very simple. Both teams try to get the ball into the opponents end zone. To get to the end zone, players can run the ball or pass the ball to other players on their team. Each team has eleven players: some who run and catch the ball, some who block for the ball carriers, and one who throws the ball. When a team has possession of the ball (offense), they get four plays to reach a ten yard mark called a first down. If this mark is passed, that team gets a fresh set of downs. Moving down the field, however, is not so simple. While trying to gain ground on the field, the opposing team (defense) will try and tackle them to minimize yardage. If one team fails to reach the first down, they will often

By Jake Pelegrin Cross-country takes place during the fall season. The athletes try to finish their race as fast as possible (boys race 5k; girls race 4k). Runners score points for their team equal to the position in which they cross the finish line (first place gets 1 point; second place gets 2 points, etc.). Each team has eight varsity spots for boys and eight for girls. Many athletes wear spikes during the race to improve traction. Times are taken with microchips attached to the athletes shoes that register when they cross the finish line. Uniforms consist of loosefitting, light jerseys and shorts. Spectators line up along the edge of the course (especially near the finish line) and cheer for athletes from the school they are supporting.

Premier Community Bank earns Financial Education Award

Check your insurance carriers ratings

Submitted by Brian Wasilew, Safeguard Insurance According to the Wisconsin Department of Labor, the median annual income for a family of four is $75,111; which after taxes is approximately $45,000 per year. On average, a policyholder with a modest home and two vehicles spends about $1,800 (4% of take home income) per year on insurance to protect these assets. While its important to stay within a budget, buying insurance on price alone is not always the best bet. Per our buying habits, its only human nature for us to want the best deal possible. Does this mean the best price or the best value? Websters dictionary defines value as the extent to which a good or service is perceived by its customer to meet his or her needs or wants. If our needs are low, then we can probably purchase something inexpensive. If our needs are high, were probably looking to buy a better product to meet those needs and we usually have to pay more to get it. Per law and regulations, the insurance industry is closely watched and audited due to its financial importance in our society. One of the most respected financial rating authorities is A.M. Best which applies a grading scale to insurance carriers based on organization, financial strength, business plan, and resources. In a nutshell, A.M. Best gives high grades to companies that can easily meet their obligations to policyholders and gives lower grades to insurance carriers that are not as strong. Partnering with an insurance carrier that is graded A or better is highly recommended. Highly rated insurance carriers are obligated to settle claims just like lesser rated carriers, however, the key difference between the two are how they settle claims. For example, if youre involved in a car accident where no one

was ticketed, yet the injured party is bringing legal suit against you, a highly rated carrier will represent you much better by employing a stronger legal team. Stronger resources provide more peace of mind and a better outcome. Per insurance policy language and contract law, it is the ultimate responsibility of the insured to read and understand the provisions of their insurance policy. Understanding this, if you are expecting the highest quality for the least price, you may be setting yourself up for some grief if you have a significant claim. In looking for a quality insurance program, use the following suggestions: Work with a competent agent. A good agent will interpret the mechanics of a policy and explain important coverages, limitations, and exclusions. A good agent should ask many questions about you to create a policy based on your needs Know your situation. Let your agent know which items are most important to you and try to forecast the perils that would cause a loss to these items Only consider insurance carriers graded A or better from A.M. Best Compare limits of coverage. For auto insurance, the state of Wisconsin dictates minimum levels of coverage such as liability, medical payments, and uninsured and underinsured motorists. Usually, it doesnt cost much to increase these limits Be prepared to spend a little more. Remember, quality comes at a price. If youre looking for cheap insurance, you might get what you paid for when it comes to a claim. Safeguard Insurance specializes in representing insurance carriers that carry at least an A rating by A.M. Best. and is conveniently located in the Mountain Bay Plaza in Pulaski.

A business with no website? Dont even go there!

Local costume shop opens

By Isabel Thyne Each year as fall returns, it brings wonderful times: leaves changing, apple picking, Friday night football games and one of the best days of the year, Halloween. This holiday plays on the most mischievous fantasies of the mind, celebrating ghouls, witches, and all things that go bump in the night. People may choose to observe this holiday in their own way, but the spirit of Halloween resonates among all. One of the most anticipated traditions of the year is dressing up in various costumes. Whether you decide to don the uniform of your favorite superhero or the coat of a beloved animal, costumes allow the wearer to transform into someone entirely new, even if only for a small amount of time. Local business owner, Theresa Thyne, provides many in the Green Bay area with Halloween costumes each year. She runs her business from her home, specifically her second garage. Thyne is the owner to a large quantity of costumes, varying from character pieces as well as unique peices. She rents these costumes at reasonable prices and requires no laundering services. Potential customers can reach Thyne at the phone number (920)544-0075 to set up an appointment.

Happy Halloween from your friends at the Pulaski News

As a business person, it is amazing to me, in this day and age, the number of businesses that exist that still do not have a website. Recently, I had an opportunity to talk to businesses, and by a show of hands of about 200 individuals, only about one quarter of the businesses were on the web. According to Jupiter Research, half of all small businesses with less than 10 employees do not have a website. If you have a business, and dont have a website, then read the following reasons why a website is a necessity for your business success. Your Business is open 24/7. Unlike your companys office that may be open from 8-5, Monday thru Friday, your company s website is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There are many different time zones that may affect your business, which is why being on the web makes it time convenient for everyone. People can access your site; and simply find your office hours, your products, your phone number and check your company out, even when you are not in. Its Your Online Brochure / Catalog and Can Be Changed at Anytime A website is easier, cheaper and quicker to update than print material. Its capacities are almost limitless which allow you to provide users with more comprehensive information. This will save you money on printing and distribution costs as well. Presents a Professional Image For a small business or even in-home business, a well-designed web site is a great way of instilling confidence and looking bigger than you actually are. In this day in age, customers assume that you already have a website. Research shows that 80% of people use the web to find local businesses. Marketing/Sales Tool A website is a great marketing tool for your business. You can send email blasts like newsletters, promotions, updates and more to thousands of people within minutes. By utilizing a website like Constant Contact, this can be done. And you can drive people directly to your site with this type of marketing tool with a link to your site. Educate your customers I personally like to provide information and articles to my customers and clients. Educate your customers; theyll appreciate it and believe that you are the expert in the field. When they need you for something; theyll know who to

contact. Education is the key to success in any business situation. Sell your products. The web gives you an opportunity to reach a lot of people, far more that actually enter your store each day. You have the opportunity to create an on-line store. Even, if you dont sell products on the web; consumers are researching your products. According to a recent survey by Nielsen Online, a service of the Nielsen Company, most people who shop online during the holidays do it not to save money, but to save time. Their online survey of 1000 people found that 81 percent shop online because they can shop any time of the day. Seventy-seven said they like to save time. Sixty-

Ken Metexon proudly displays some of his exquisite pottery.

By Josh Sendra, Luke Zablocki, and Skyler Adamski Ken Metoxen, a potter from Oneida, Wisconsin, has yet to have his work discovered by the public. Metoxen said, I have done pottery since I was in grade school. Metoxen enjoys pottery so much because he has no one looking over his shoulder, and he has more time to spend with his son, Brickman House. Metoxen isnt like any ordinary potter. He doesnt use a potting wheel; instead he rolls out the clay and

pounds it by hand. Many Native Americans instill their culture into their work; this is no different for Metoxen. The culture helps sell the work, Metoxen said. Metoxen went to school for art in the University of Oshkosh, and he then worked at the Institute of American Indian Arts in New Mexico.

Pulaski since Pulaski Merchants and Farmers Telephone Co. invested in one of the earliest telephone systems in 1910. Outstanding work ethic and vision has helped Nsight continue to run strong. The celebration was a huge success. Tammy Homan, Media Relations and Communications Coordinator said, The 100 year celebration with the Pulaski community was a tremendous success. We had over 700 people from the Pulaski community join us for a day of fun. During our celebration we offered a chance to win door prizes, the first look at the Pulaski Centennial History book, food, and tours of the old house and our current operations a literal walk through our history. The development of Pulaski is similar to the development of its communication systems.

Its dedication to its customers has kept the business running strong. By embracing new technologies, Nsight is staying ahead of the game. The book that Nsight presented, Putting Pulaski on the Map, shows a rich heritage of Pulaskis history. This book gives a strong centennial history of the village of Pulaski. The book recaps the past 100 years: major events, local businesses, and village growth over the years. Copies of the book are available exclusively at Nsight Teleservices in Pulaski. Putting Pulaski on the Map was put together by Gina Sanders Larson.
