Roundabout construction continues

by Laura Dahms Big changes are happening in Pulaski with the construction of a new roundabout that will safely connect Highway 32 and County Highway B. Most recently, on July 25, the entire intersection closed for construction, and the Department of Transportation (DOT) and community has been working together to ensure that commerce continues to thrive in the area. Although access from Hwy 32 to downtown Pulaski is blocked, there are many options for visitors and citizens to get around the construction. There is a gravel driveway that leads from northbound Hwy 32 to Super Rons, Mountain Bay Trail BP and McDonalds, as well as one that leads to the Mountain Bay Plaza. We provide access when a business or private owner requests it. We try to accommodate for them because we know their access will be limited, said DOT Field Engineer Jodi Marsh. The DOT puts in the driveway up to our right of way. The property owner does the other half if its a new driveway. Though the driveways are open to the public, they are only gravel, and users are encouraged to drive cautiously. The mountain bay trail crosses the driveway leading to the BP/ McDonalds/ Super Rons, and drivers must stop at the stop sign in front of the trail. These driveways are also subject to temporary closures due to the construction on any day. The normal access road to the Mountain Bay Plaza is still open, though shoppers must approach it from the west on Crest Drive. The driveway into Super Rons remains open as well, and shoppers must approach it from the east on County Highway B. These roadways will continue to be open during the rest of construction, only closing for a few hours when the intersection gets paved. Affected business owners remain very positive about the changes going on right outside their doors. Our customers have been wonderful and very patient. They realize [the construction] is only temporary, said Meridian hair salon owner Darlene Kraszewski. Surprisingly, we had a very good Polka Days weekend. We had more walk-ins than ever! Others are not sure if the newest stage of construction will be any different than the first. So far [the construction] hasnt affected our business much, but, with highway 32 closing down, were not sure what will change. The driveways arent guaranteed access, said Bryan Ullmer, Super Rons Owner. The mall businesses and the Trailside BP joined to create a special deal for those who shop in the construction zone. Customers can save $0.03 per gallon of gas at the Trailside BP when he or she presents a receipt from any Mountain Bay Plaza store. This deal will last until September 2, and fuel sales must be cash only. Similarly, Carrot Tree owner Christine Richter held a Christmas in July sale, where customers received one-third off all Christmas and garden gifts. Overall, the construction is on schedule, and workers continue, even through the rain. The weather does affect construction, said Marsh. we need to have dry conditions to lay concrete and other jobs. We have rain days in the contract, though, so we should be done in time. The DOT expects to finish major construction by September 2. The roundabout will be open to traffic, but we may be still doing touch-ups, said Marsh of the expected deadline. Most seem to be looking forward to the future benefits that the roundabout will bring to the community. Compared to other types of intersections in the nation, roundabouts have been proven to reduce fatal crashes about 90 percent, reduce injury crashes 75 percent and reduce overall crashes by over 35 percent. The new roundabout will be much safer and better for everyone. People can get through the flow of the intersection and find our store, said Verns Hardware Owner Vern Novinska.

Whats a QR Code?
A QR code is a unique, square bar code that brings any user with a QR reader directly to a website. The codes were developed in 1994, and have been popular throughout Japan, South Korea, and the Netherlands, but have only recently gained a strong foothold in America. QR readers can be downloaded onto most smartphones, including Android and iPhone devices, while some phones, such as Blackberries, come prepackaged with readers. Although most codes are black and white, other color combinations are available as well. Code useage is highest among indivduals between the ages of 25 and 54. Data also shows that women use the codes twice as often as their male counterparts. The codes can be developed online, for free, for any website, at http://qrcode.kaywa.com, and are a great way to bring users directly to a website.

Recent road counstruction has shut down the intersection of County Raod B and Highway 32.

The constrcution of the roundabout is slated to be completed by September 2. Check out the Pulaski News Facebook page with this QR code.

District Construction
Parents and students should be aware of traffic impacts associated with road construction areas in the Pulaski Community School District. Access between County Road J and Highway 29 was permanently closed in June 2011. Beginning in November, access across Highway 29 on County Rd. J will reopen and the underpass is expected to be open. Drivers can also expect Highway 32 to be closed until September 2 due to roundabout construction at County Highway B and Highway 32. Motorists need to use an alternate route when traveling through the area. When traveling north through Pulaski drivers can use Quarry Dr west to St. Augustine Street. Please use extrene caution and remain alert when driving through these areas.

DOT work is making a variety of improvement to the area.

P-News Point of View

Google+: a New Era of Social Networking?
by Tim Frisch By now, Im sure youve heard the recent hype about Googles answer to Mark Zuckerbergs Facebook monopoly on social networking. Will the latest and greatest efforts of Google, be enough to topple over Facebook? Although Facebook will definitely not be going the way of the Do-Do Bird, or in this case, the way of MySpace , the new site will likely give it a run for its money. Google+ releases with several new unique features, each of which has its positive and negative aspects. For instance; Google+ uses a 1+ button rather than a Like button, which is much less subjective and bias. You can 1+ something you agree with or find interesting, but not like, while Facebook offers only a Like option for fans. For example, if there is a major global disaster you arent going to Like the global disaster, as Facebook dictates, but with Google+ you can 1+ it to bring attention to the event. The problem with the current Like system is its objectivity, and it lacks the ability to bring aid and awareness to problems that arent necessarily positive. Secondly, we must address the problem of the Friend. Although being friends with everyone is great, its also subjective. For instance, if I wanted to add a co-worker to my friends, but dont necessarily want them to have access to my entire profile, its much harder to create and divide individuals into seperate groups on Facebook. Google+, however, allows for easy drop-and-drag anonymous categorizing (called Circles). Thus, a person wouldnt necessarily know that I put him in a Best Friend group or just an I dont really like this guy group. Furthermore, like Twitter, Google+ allows users to add one another without requiring a two-way response, meaning I could easily put my favorite celebrity into a circle on my profile to see their updates, but they would not have to add me in order to do this. This also allows business, athletes and any public figures a better opportunity to communicate with their fans than the 140 characters allowed by Twitter. For non-famous users, the feature also elimates having to sift through spam that can sometimes be found on the Facebook fan pages of some public figures. One feature Google+ adds to its arsenal that Facebook cant quite seem to get right is the conference call. It allows friends to connect via video chat with one another and all join in a simultaneous face-to-face chat. This is not only convenient, but is a lot easier than gathering everybody together at the local coffee shop or all logging on to Skype. Also, the video conferences allow for integration with Youtube, which Google owns. This integration will allow multiple people simultaneously view and comment upon videos, providing new opportunities for video training or entertainment purposes. Finally, a last major enhancement of Google+ over Facebook would be Sparks. A spark is similar to Facebooks concept of Interests, except it applies a new approach and twist to the concept. The Sparks allow feeds of what interests you to be integrated into your Google+ page. According to the companys Google+ website, this integration will Allow you upon log on; to always have something interesting and relevant to read, watch, or share. I couldnt agree more. Throughout Googles Internet-wide integration, life seems far easier. No more hassle, no more constantly changing Facebook layouts, and no more chat errors. Overall, Google+ might not turn Facebook into the next MySpace, but it might make a dent in its otherwise continued growth.

by Adam Styczynski After 12 years of serving Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Pulaski and St. Stanislaus in Seymour, Fr. Patrick Gawrylewski O.F.M. will be leaving the Pulaski area. Fr. Gawrylewski has been asked by the Provincial and his Board of Directors of the Franciscan community to accept the position of Pastor at St. Mary of the Angels Parish in Green Bay starting August 16. Fr. Gawrylewski has strong ties to Pulaski, after he grew up in the area and attended Pulaski High School as a student, and said he will always remember the funeral of his father as well as Fire Chief Frank Wichlacz. I enjoy the connectedness that Ive experienced with the people due to baptisms, weddings, and funerals and their openness of accepting me to minister to them, said Fr. Gawrylewski. Fr. Finian Zaucha O.F.M. will be taking the place of Fr. Gawrylewski. Father Pat will be missed greatly. He was always very congenial. He was friendly to everyone. He was a favorite of my grandsons., Gloria Krumrai, church member, said.

Included in the AHERA Act is the requirement to annually notify all workers and building occupants (or their guardians) of asbestos-related activities. Beginning in 1988, all buildings owned, leased, or under the control of the School District were inspected by EPA accredited inspectors, with building material samples analyzed by an independent laboratory. Based on the inspection, the School District prepared and the state approved a comprehensive management plan for managing the asbestos.

Annual Notices cont.

ary courses under this program, prior to enrollment in the course(s) and within designated timelines. Meningococcal Disease Information School districts must provide information to parents/guardians of children enrolled in grades 6-12 with information about meningococcal disease including: o Causes and symptoms of the disease, Meningococcal disease includes meningococcal meningitis and meningococcemia. Meningococcal meningitis is a severe form of meningitis (inflammation of the meninges, thetissues that cover the brain and spinal cord) caused by the bacterium neisseria meningitidis. Meningococcemia is an infection of the blood with neisseria meningitidis. A person may have either meningococcal meningitis or meningococcemia, or both at the same time. The signs and symptoms of meningococcal disease can vary widely, but include sudden onset of high fever, headache, vomiting, stiff neck and a rash. Sensitivity to light, sleepiness and confusion may also occur. Symptoms may be difficult to detect in infants and the infant may only appear lethargic, irritable, have vomiting, or be feeding poorly. As the disease progresses, patients of any age may have seizures. meningococcal disease is fatal in 8-15% of cases. How it is spread, The meningococcus bacteria are spread by direct contact with respiratory and oral secretions (saliva, sputum or nasal mucus) of an infected person. How to obtain additional information about the disease and the availability, effectiveness and risks of vaccinations against the disease. There are two vaccines (Menomune, Menactra) that will protect against four of the types of meningococcus, including 2 of the 3 types most common in the U.S. (serogroup C, Y, and W-135) and a type that causes ep-

idemics in Africa (serogroup A). Meningococcal vaccines cannot prevent all types of the disease (neither protect against type B). The vaccine is recommended in some outbreak situations or for travelers to areas of the world where high rates of the disease are known to occur. College freshman living in dormitories should consider receiving the vaccine due to their slightly elevated risk of acquiring the disease. In 2005, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended that children receive the new meningococcal vaccine (Menactra) at their routine 11-12 year old doctors visit and that for the next two to three years, teens entering high school should also be vaccinated. Additional information about meningococcal disease is available from the following web link: http://www.dhfs.state. wi.us/communicable/factsheets/ PDFfactsheets/Meningococcal_42072_05041.pdf. Human Growth and Development Instruction (Board policy 2414) All schools offering Human Growth and Development Instruction will annually provide parents/guardians an outline of the human growth and development curriculum used at their childs grade level and information about how they can inspect the actual curriculum and instructional materials. Special Education (Board policy IGBA) School districts are required by section 115.77 (1) (h) of the state statutes to demonstrate to the satisfaction of DPI that it regularly publicizes information regarding its special education procedures and services. School districts are also required to: At least annually, inform parents and persons required to make referrals under section 115.777 (1)(a) of the state statutes (i.e., physicians, nurses, social workers, administrators of social service agencies) about the districts referral and evaluation procedures. This notice is required by section 115.777 (3) (d) of the state statutes. Once a year, give to the parents of a student with a disability a full explanation of the procedural safeguards available under section 115.792 of the state statutes and under applicable federal law relating to all of the following: independent education evaluation; prior written notice; parental consent; access to educational records; opportunity to present and resolve complaints, including the period in which the students parents may request a due process hearing and the opportunity for the district to resolve the issues presented by the request; the students placement during pendency of due process proceedings; procedures for students who are subject to placement in interim alternative educational settings; requirements for the unilateral placement by parents of students in private schools at public expense; mediation; due process hearings under section 115.80; civil actions, including the period in which to file a civil action; and attorney fees. The notice described above must be written in an easily understandable manner and in the native language of the students parents unless it clearly is not feasible to do so. This notice must also be given to the parents of a student with a disability upon the students initial referral or parental request for evaluation, upon the first occurrence of the filing of a request for a due process hearing, and upon

Childrens Theatre performs

PHS students visit France

by Matt Zey Seven Pulaski High School French students embarked on trip to France, visiting Paris and Provence, the southeastern region of France, from June 9 to June 23. The students began their trip by staying with their host families for a week. The families lived throughout the suburbs of Pairs. Students were able to attend school with their host siblings during the family stay, and visited locations such asVersailles, the Louvre and other Parisian sights as well. After the family stay, the kids joined two other schools from Ohio on a train to Provence. While in Provence, students toured the cities of Avignon, Arles, Nice, Cannes and the principality of Monaco with a guide. While in these cities, the students went to several tourist attractions such as a Roman aqueduct and arena, Mediterranean beaches, a perfume factory and an oceanographic museum. My favorite place was Nice because we swam in the Mediterranean, student Erin Skalitzky said. After six days in Provence. the students returned to Paris. While in there for the second time, students went to the Fete de la Musique on June 21. Fete de la Musique is a nationwide music festival held every year on June 21. Students also took a boat ride on the Seine River. During their last day in Paris, the students toured the Catacombs, saw the Arc de Triomphe and shopped on the Champs-Elysees, saw Notre-Dame cathedral and finished their souvenir shopping. To finish off the final day of the trip, the students enjoyed dinner in the Eiffel tower at `58 Tour Eiffel`. The students really enjoyed all the free time they were afforded on the tour, and they all had a great time with their host family. Im sure this trip is something they will remember forever, and I hope that many of them have the opportunity to go back to France again someday, said Jodi Nickels, French Teacher at PHS.

Performers in fourth through sixth grade starred in A Kids Life.

by Matt Zey The Pulaski Community Childrens Theatres held its first two community performances on Friday, July 29. The Childrens theatre is made up of kids in first through sixth grades. The first performance, `Bugz`, was put on by students in grades one through three. Written by John Jacobson and John Higgins, `Bugz` was directed by Christy Dalany. The play centers on the story of insects in search of food and dreaming of joining humans on a picnic. As the insects sang through their seven songs about being polite and changing, caterpillar Ian Dworak morphed into a butterfly. It was a blast, everyone had good attitudes all the timeI am pleased with how the kids did. They had only 18 days for rehearsal and they did very well, said Dalany. After a five minute stage transformation following `Bugz`, `A Kids Life` was ready to go. Written by John Jacobson and Mac Huff, `A Kids Life` was directed by Rebecca Rego. Put on by students in fourth, fifth and sixth grades, `A Kids Life` is about a group of high-tech kids who cant get out when a mysterious power outage kills all of their electronics. When their mom and dad leave for work, the childrens grandparents attempt to entertain the children with their old school games. After a day of building paper airplanes, finding cloud shapes, jump roping and creating a band, the kids admit to having fun but are excited when their electronic power is restored. The performance was really fun even though it was hard work preparing for it. Its just fun to be on stage and do crazy stuff with my friends, said student performer Heather Epps. For many kids like Epps, the Childrens Theatre is the first opportunity they have to get on stage and perform for an audience. It was great, the kids did a fantastic job. This was a great opportunity for about 50 children to get on stage, said Mark Heck, PACE director. Heck added that PACE hopes to eventually increase childrens theatre performances, and may possibly start a community adult adult theatre as well.

Students in grades first through third peformed Bugz.

Raiders anticipate strong season

by Jordan Stiede After a playoff loss to Kimberly last season, the Red Raider football team started practice on August 3 with a new starting quarterback, a new starting running back and a new head coach. Gary Westerman, the new head coach, is a former defensive coordinator for Kimberly. He came to Pulaski because he heard positive things about the Pulaski community and was impressed by the athletes after playing against them the last two seasons while at Kimberly.
I expect this team to compete at a high level, said Westerman, They should be able to build on their previous success. Westerman is implementing a new offensive and defensive scheme, and he is trying to improve the weight room expectations. He said that the senior class is a big group with about 40 players returning from last years team, and theyve really bought into the system. Im really excited for the upcoming football season, said Athletic Director Jerad Marsh. The strength and conditioning attendance has been very good, and the team has gotten stronger this off-season. The first game of the season will be held on Friday, August 19, in Pulaski against Sheboygan South. On September 2, the team will travel to Bay Port for their rivalry game. Homecoming against Notre Dame will be held on September 30.

The Pulaski Red Raiders football team welcome new head coach Gary Westerman.

History of the Pulaski Community School District

Part One by Jack FitzGerald and Matt Zey Editors Note: Over the course of the next few issues Pulaski News will highlight the history of the Pulaski Community School District, beginning with the creation of the school district more than 80 years ago. A similar series of articles was written in 1981, and we hope to elaborate on that history. Anyone with memories or photographs to share, please email pulaskinews@pulaskischools.org or call 920-822-6802. The Pulaski Community School District started in 1909, with the first public elementary school in the heart of the village on Pulaski Street. Thirteen years later, in 1922, Pulaski High School opened in the same building. However, it wasnt long until the district began to encompass the 176 square mile area it does today. From the 1920s until the late 1950s, the area surrounding Pulaski was dotted with one and two room school houses, often with one teacher instructing up to 40 students through eighth grade. During the late 1950s, however, the Wisconsin Legislature required all one and two room school districts to join a school district with a high school by July 1, 1960, resulting in massive reorganization in Northeastern Wisconsin and across the state. Ultimately the man responsible for putting the Pulaski Community School district on the map is Frank X. Joswick. Joswick was the Supervising Principal of the entire district from 1935 till 1970. After the required reorganization, Joswick began recruiting the outlying school houses to join the Pulaski School District. He focused on the schools that surrounded the area, including the schools of: Advance, Good Cheer, Laney, Polandi, Frank Dorn, Hofa Park, Cuba, Krakow, La Follette Grove, Kunesh, Trout Creek, Sunnyside, Anston, Lannoye, Mill Center, North Chase, South Chase, Northwestern, Morgan, Sobieski, Little Suamico, Flintville, Angelica, Isaar, Zachow, Dewey, Frazer Corners, Green Valley, Owego, Pleasant Valley, Pulaski State Graded, and Lesser. Today, many of these former schoolhouses are village townhalls or private homes. A few have disappeared from the map completely. According to John Wigman, the districts second superintendent, Joswick felt strongly about establishing the largest student body possible for Pulaski. He knew that the more students enrolled meant the more variety of different students, abilities, skills, backgrounds and interests. Also, the wider the boundaries of the district traveled, the more tax dollars would flow into the district, which could go supply the interests of the children. Ultimately, as a result of Joswicks efforts, all or part of the 32 outlying districts joined Pulaski by 1960. Joswicks philosophy of education was unlike others of the time, he wanted to intertwine the entire community with the school district. In fact, it was because of this philosophy and his exceptional leadership qualities that resulted in the evolution of the village, including working to bring sewer and water to Pulaski, the creation of the Pulaski News, and the opening of Northern Shoe Factory and Carver Boats.

New year brings new technology

by Adam Styczynski While most students and teachers were enjoying time off this summer, the Pulaski Community School District technology department has been working hard to make schools throughout the district a better place to learn for students. The most noticeable change can be found in the districts email system. Beginning in second grade, all students will now have a Pulaski email address, which will run through Googles Gmail. The technology department also implemented Google+, the companys social networking site, and purchased items like table computers, iPads, and net books. Our school district is at the forefront of technology in the classroom and our teachers are very excited and are happy to be able to allow students to use technology in the classroom, District Superintendent Dr. Mel Lightner said. Wireless Internet access throughout the district has been updated for students or faculty who bring wi-fi enabled devices to school or work with them each day. Once school begins, students and staff will also be able to access their school files from home, allowing for a more seamless transition between schoolwork and homework. Students will now be able to access their personal U drive from home, said Director of Technology Chris Dahlke. Besides email and Internet changes, the district will also debuet five model technology oriented model classrooms during the upcoming school year. There will be two at Pulaski Community Middle School, one at Pulaski High School and four at Glenbrook Elementary. Every model classroom will have some of the same basic technologies, such as smart boards as well as digital cameras and video cameras. However, each classroom includes other technology customized for each grade level, according to Amy Uelmen, district instructional technology coordinator. The first grade model classrooms will have five web-based netbooks, 15 iPod touches, and three iPads. The fifth grade classrooms will have 30 netbooks, 15 iPod touches, and three iPads. Sandy Schmits 7th grade classroom at PCMS will have 30 iPads while Clay Reislers 8th grade class will have 30 netbooks. At PHS, in the world language department, Katie Titlers class will have a classroom set of Motorola Xoom Android powered tablets. Besides students and parents, community members can also visit the schools to view the model classrooms and learn about the districts long-term technology goals, Uelmen added. The technology department will conintually assess the model classrooms to better determine what devices are needed throughout the district. Students, parents and Pulaski High School graduates can also keep in touch with the district through social media site by Liking the district on Facebook, getting district updates on Twitter as well as check-ins on FourSquare.

Application forms are being sent to all homes with a notice to parents or guardians. To apply for free or reduced price meals or free milk, households must fill out the application and return it to the school (unless notified at the start of the school year that children are eligible through direct certification). Additional copies are available at the office in each school. The information provided on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by agency or other program officials. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. To obtain free or reduced price meals or free milk for children in a household where one or more household members receive FoodShare, FDPIR, or Wisconsin Works (W-2) cash benefits, list the household member and the FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 case number, list the names of all school children, sign the application, and return it to the school office. For the school officials to determine eligibility for free or reduced price meals or free milk of households not receiving FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 cash benefits, the household must provide the following information requested on the application: names of all household members, and the social security number of the adult household member who signs the application. In lieu of a social security number, the household may indicate that the signer does not possess a social security number. Also, the income received by each household member must be provided by amount and source (wages, welfare, child support, etc.). Under the provisions of the free and reduced price meal and free milk policy, Kris Reed will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he/she may wish to discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis. If the parent/guardian wishes to make a formal appeal, he/she may make a request either orally or in writing to: Pamela Kercheval, Director of Business Services, P.O. Box 36, Pulaski, WI 54162 or 920-822-6009. If a hearing is needed to appeal the decision, the policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure.

Girls tennis preview

by Jack FitzGerald As summer comes to an end, the Pulaski High School girls tennis team will began its fall practice on August 9. According to coach, Aaron Sperduto, there are not too many changes being made for the up coming season. We will face new challenges this year, and make moderate adjustments as we go, Sperduto said. Expectations are high for the girls this year, as the team has several returning varsity players who held very strong standings years prior. There are a number of sophomores returning that had a great season last year, as well as a core group of senior players. Captains for the season will be Carly Schonick, Kaira Kamke and Jordann Koufman. The team has constantly gotten better, PHS athletic director Jared Marsh said. They are building a better program and a tennis culture.

Volleyball preview
by Jordan Stiede As the volleyball season approaches, the Pulaski Red Raiders are looking to continue to grow and build upon their success from last fall. Try outs will be held on Monday, August 15, with teams finalized by Tuesday afternoon. The team will continue to implement their four guiding covenants: fearless, resilient, sacrifice and relentless. They hope to apply these characteristics in the gym, on game day, in the classroom and in the community, according to head coach Katie Sukow. I really expect each player to take on their roles and expectations and complete them with pride and to the best of their ability, Sukow said. They are a hard working group that understands the importance of their position and their role in the teams success. We are looking at returning some key players and I look forward to watching their continued growth. With those key players, Pulaski looks to compete in a well-rounded conference with both strong teams and individual players. Sukow added she is looking forward to each match. The volleyball team is also adding a new coach to their staff: Lindsey Wilcox, who will lead the the freshmen teams. The stability on the coaching staff is great, said Athletic Director Jared Marsh, New coach Lindsey Wilcox will bring energy and leadership to the freshmen team. The Red Raiders will play three tournaments this season: the Pulaski Invite, the Tomahawk Invite and a high school tournament at UW Oshkosh. Their first conference match will be held August 30 at top ranked Green Bay Preble.

by Sam Schwartz As the 2011-12 high school fall sports seasons fast approach, the Pulaski High School Boys Soccer team is taking initiative, beginning their practices July 26. Upon the start of the season, co-head coach Theodore Sarosiek feels the team has enough talent and experience to make a run at state. The expectations have been set high this season to give the student athletes something worthwhile to work towards. As a team, it is obvious, that we want to win our division, conference, regional games and sectionals, said Sarosiek. A new addition to the coaching staff was added for this upcoming soccer season as well. Eric Urban, a Pulaski alum, has already begun to bring a wealth of talent and experience to the PHS boys soccer program. With his fresh ideas on practice drills and game formations, Coach Urban has helped tremendously working towards the overall success of the program. I am excited about the new ply metrics program that Coach Urban and his father put in recently for the team to improve reaction time on the field, said Athletic Director Jerad Marsh. This year, the team will return five seniors in captains Mitch Jarosinski, Sam Schwartz and Alec Zambrowicz along with Jack FitzGerald and Alex Mijal. Besides the captains, team members and coaches feel that all of the players will contribute positively to each and every win the team acquires this fall, and success will be attained through cooperative work. Our team could not be more excited about this season considering the experience and talent we have, our potential is infinite we feel as long as we work together as a team and leave it all out on the field every single game, said senior captain Alec Zambrowicz.

-Thursday, August 11, 2011

by Laura Dahms The Red Raider Girls Swim team will kick off their season on August 9. Although Coach Erik Olson says that a conference championship would be nice, he is more focused on the 2011 swimmers to do their best everyday in the pool, in the classroom and in competition. The girls set goals for themselves, said Olson. This sport is all about wanting them to reach their individual goals, as well as reaching the team goal. The returning seniors competing for the 2011 Girls Swimming/ Diving team are Kelsey Shadick, Megan Dooley, Jordan Schroeder, Jessie Pennings, Breanna Schwartz, Rachel VanAbel and Sara Verhaagh. This seasons outlook remains dependent upon the girls motivation and work during the off-season, and stand-out athletes cannot be determined by past seasons in swimming. According to Olson, all girls are capable of being stand-outs, depending on their determination to meet their goals. Once again, Bay Port presents the teams biggest challenge. Were always looking to put our best against their best, said Olson of the Pirates.

Cross country preview

by Matt Zey With the school year approaching, fall sports are starting once again. The Pulaski Red Raider cross country team starts practice on August 15. Head coach Dan Slempkes is expecting a change in attitude and dedication from his runners. Our number goal is to change the attitude and environment on the varsity teams. There will be varsity benchmarks so our athletes know what is expected from them, said Slempkes. Slempkes is expecting the girls team to have a great improvement from last year and is excited about the possibilities. According to Slempkes, the boys team is in a rebuilding mode and there is hope for the future. We are looking for the boys to develop a sense of personal and team greatness, said Slempkes. Captains for the teams are not yet chosen, but Slempkes is looking for runners that take pride in the program and are willing to prepare so that they can achieve at a high level. The team is most looking forward to the FRCC Conference meet. Slempkes believes everything the Red Raider cross country team does is to create the best possible varsity teams on October 13 at the FRCC conference meet.

by Sam Schwartz The 2011-2012 Pulaski Dance team has already been hard at work getting ready for competition season as well as performances at football games. According to Coach Jessica Korth, the team expectations are all about keeping a positive attitude throughout the season as well as working hard at every practice and competition. With hard work and dedication, Coach Korth foresees this season to be an extremely successful season. The dance team has been working very hard during the summer and have come a long way. The addition of two larger mirrors will also help the girls to improve their individual skills to better the team, said Athletic Director Jerad Marsh. For the first time, the dance team will attend the Green Bay Holiday Dance Classic competition. The event hosts many competitive teams from around the state. This season, the dance team will have three senior leaders: Haley Miller, Alecia Erdmann and Alli Reed. While both coaches are expecting standout years from their three senior leaders, they also feel all the juniors and seniors have a great amount of potential to succeed. We have worked extremely hard and really stepped up our level of intensity this summer for the upcoming season, said senior leader Alecia Erdmann. One of the most important aspects of our team is team chemistry which allows us all to get along and have our fun, but we also know when we need to get down to business and work. The team hopes to match its competition in many of its rivals including Bay Port, Green Bay Southand Ashwaubenon.

Business
submitted by Tammy Brzeczkowski Prior to owning and operating a business of my own, I would have known little about the value of buying local, and how important the impact is on businesses, and the local economy. After over 15 years in business, Ive been able to grasp some important concepts, but strongly believe educating our business clients, our customers, vendors, the community and everyone involved is highly important. If I would have known now what I didnt know 15 years ago, this economy might be better off. As many business owners are aware, industry conditions right now are tough, especially with the addition of more Internet-only companies. On any given day, we deal with our competitors cutting prices. We call it cut throating While we offer competitive pricing on items we sell and customize, like t-shirts, some of our customers can get the same item online for as little as 50 each. As youd expect, people will tend to go with the lowest pricing. However, studies have shown that when purchasing local, twice the amount of money stays in the economy. If we could just educate these individuals, they might not make that purchase. Another great example I see is our local farmers market. After talking to a farmers market volunteer, I learned that, until recently, the locals werent supporting the market. Not only do farmers markets help the local economy by feeding money back into the neighborhood, but they increase access to fresh, healthy foods at low costs. They also serve as a public gathering place, bringing all different walks to of life together, in a comfortable setting for one day. Its a win-win situation for everyone involved. The environment is also helped when people shop within their community. Staying in the community, instead of driving to the nearest city for your groceries or hardware supplies, means less congestion, less gas and less pollution. Local businesses tend to make more local purchases requiring less transportation, too. A recent survey done in Grand Rapids, Michigan, found local business owners donate more to local charities than non-local owners. Another great reason to buy local. I can relate this to our business, as well. In fact, we believe in strongly supporting the organizations that support us. When an organization asks our business for donations, and doesnt do business with us, we simply do not donate; or if we do, we make them aware of the fact that the organization doesnt do business with us and we would appreciate the opportunity to

Buying local education is key

Hand of Hope to hold benefit

by Sam Schwartz Hand of Hope, a newly established non-profit business in Pulaski, will host a Campaign Kickoff and Benefit Concert at Zielinskis Ballroom on W. Pulaski St. on Saturday, August 13, from 4-10 p.m. Admission is $10 at the door. Hand of Hope is looking to reach out to community members to support and make a difference in the lives of others. According to Karen Galske, the organizations President, there are many people who are hopeless, homeless, helpless and hurting and that need healing in the Pulaski community, and the benefit hopes to bring awareness to this issue. Police far too often have to deal with the realities of dysfunctional families. Personal crisiss in the home due
to marital, financial, or addictions of some sort, and runaway juveniles, to mention a few, are situations which tax our resources and abilities to get the family help. To have a resource right here in our community such as the Hands of Hope Center is a tremendous asset to our area, said Police Chief Randal Dunford. The event will feature food, music, a silent auction and special speakers for entertainment. Live performances will be put on by Rosanna Fiorazo, a contemporary Christian recording artist, singer, songwriter, and worship leader, as well as a performance by singer Lauren Lee. The music will start around 6:45 p.m. The silent auction items will be donated by Docs Harley Davidson, Carrot Tree Coffee & Gifts, Century Farm Eco Market, Furniture Land, Radio Shack and more. Overall, the vision of Hand of Hope is to provide healing and a hand of hope for those in need and lead them into a successful, independent, fulfilling and abundant life in Christ. Many people feel so alone when they dont have family or close friends in the area. People need options for a place to find help when they need it. An area go to place would be a great benefit to people who need a place to turn for area resources, said Pastor Bob Wied, of New Life Community Church. Contributions and auction items may be sent to 127 N Saint Augustine St, PO BOX 168, Pulaski, WI 54162.

work together in the future. Being a local businesses owner, we tend to invest in our community. Our owners are community volunteers to several non-profit organizations. They are leaders,board of directors and church members that are vital to the community. We even have an owner who is an active member of the local fire department. Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community are less likely to leave, and are more invested in the communitys future. It is a fact that small local businesses are the largest employers nationally. Most new jobs are created by local businesses. I believe small businesses are the key to bringing back the economy. In fact, by completion of this summer, we will have added two full-time positions, and one part-time position to my small business-- great additions to our local economy. Another finding out of the Michigan survey: small businesses tend to hire people with more expertise, so customer service is often better. A great example of this, is our local hardware store, and how friendly and helpful they are. Its always a pleasure knowing that people are there that know what they are doing, and that they actually care. And if you are a business? What can do to increase your local customers? One idea would be to implement a Buy Local Program within your store. According to an Independent Business Survey in 2011, businesses with a buy local initiative, reported an average gain in revenue of 5.6 percent when compared to 2.1percent for everyone else. Check out the 3/50 project, http://www.the350project.net, and become a supporter. The 3/50 project that is geared toward saving the brick and mortars of our nation. So, by just implementing a program for purchasing local, your bottom line could increase. That in itself is enough for me. So, I ask you, why buy local? The benefits are many, not only for business, non-profit organizations, the environment, but in essence every member of the local economy benefits from purchasing local. So the next time you think about getting a bag of groceries, a cup of coffee, putting your house up for sale, going out to eat, or buying a t-shirt, think local. And remember, youll be helping out everyone. Brzeczkowski is co-owner of Dynamic Designs Unlimited, LLC.

More road improvements coming to Pulaski

by Rachel Vesco The Village of Pulaski may see further improvements in the coming years as the result of DOT enhancements slated for 2013 and 2014 on Highways 160 and 32. Presently, plans to work on State Highway 160, from Highview Street to St. Augustine Street, are in place for 2013. A second project, on State Highway 32 stretching from Green Bay Street to South Chase Road, is planned for 2014. The areas were chosen by the DOT for improvements after deteriorating road conditions on both highways were brought to the attention of department surveyors. At a Chamber of Commerce Lunch and Learn on July 27, DOT engineers met with local business leaders and community members to discuss incorporating community sensitive design into the future construction projects. Community sensitive design uses citizen input when designing and planning for elements of a construction project such as planting, lighting and other aesthetic features. According to the DOT, CSD can incorporate historical, social, environmental, cultural and economic elements unique to an individual town, city or village into road improvements. Its all about people, places, and things what represents your community, DOT Project Manager Dan Segerstrom said. The village of Pulaski incorporated CSD into the current roundabout construction project on Highway 32 and County Road B when they chose landscaping options that matched the colors
of the Pulaski Community School Districtred, white, and black. Other towns in Northeast Wisconsin, such as Howard and DePere, have utilized CSD during recent construction projects as well. The Village of Howard, they feel its essential to what theyre trying to sell with their village. Theyre trying to get higher end businesses in there, Segerstrom said of CSD elements recently adopted by Howard. They think thats an investment for trying to promote what type of businesses they have in their community. Other, more rural communities, are often less interested in CSD, however, Segerstrom noted. Three percent of construction costs of a given DOT project can go towards CSD. This translates to roughly $40,000- $50,000 for the Highway 160 project and $120,000 for the Highway 32 improvements. Although the initial funds for CSD additions come out of the projects budget, the upkeep of any element, such as landscaping, is the responsibility of the local government. While road improvements will occur in 2013 and 2014, the extent of the work is not finalized yet. The DOT is currently planning to completely reconstruct the affected areas once the village public works department works to increase sewer and water capabilities in the area, Village President Ron Kryger said. Once the improvments are made, local officials will begin working with the DOT on CSD measures, Kryger added. Village officials have also expressed concern regarding the rerouting of some traffic as well as the closure of area roads.

According to DOT Project Leader Jodi Marsh, however, not all of the construction zone would be detoured at a given time. Instead, construction would be staggered. We can break it up... and do Pulaski Street from St. Augustine to Wisconsin for x amount, and then open that up, and then do Wisconsin Street to Green Bay Street, and then go to St. Augustine Street North, Marsh said. But all of 32 is not going to be closed at once. The roads would remain open for local traffic throughout the project, Marsh added. Since the construction would occur during the summer, DOT officials have also incorporated Polka Days into their plans. The roads most utilized during that weekend would actually be to be completed prior to the annual festival and available for use, Segerstrom said. If the area is not ready for a full reconstruction by 2014, however, the effected roads would simply be repaved instead. Although this would eliminate detours, costs would increase between 20 and 40 percent, according to Segerstroms initial estimates. DOT officials would look at the area again in approximately 7 years, as repaving is only considered a 7-year-solution by the department, to determine if further work is needed, while completely repaving the area would have a longer lifespan. Officials hope to have a final plan in place by late fall or early winter, and will then hold public informational meetings at that time.
