By Graham SeversonWhen people no longer care

about their old wool sweaters, they generally either throw them away or give them to Goodwill. Rolean Wernicke has created a new way to recycle these unwant-ed wool sweaters using a talent of hers. Wanting to raise money for the Pulaski Community Middle School musical this spring, Wer-nicke turned many wool sweaters that she bought from Goodwill or people donated, into colorful, cre-ative mittens. No matter how out of style the wool sweaters were, Wernicke was able to make a variety of rich mittens.

The sweaters are cut and sewn together to create mittens. One to four wool sweaters can be

mittens again this year, beginning in October. The mittens will be available to buy at that time at the PCMS library, Trina Townsend’s office at Greater Insurance, and the Aprill family vegetable stand at the Pulaski Farmers Market this summer. All of the profit will go towards the next PCMS musical. The mittens sell for 20 dollars. Special orders such as Red Raider, or other team names are accepted for 30 dollars. For special orders please contact Rolean Wernicke directly by phone at (920) 822-1065 or e-mail at missfit@netnet.net.

To continue recycling wool sweaters and creating mittens, old wool sweaters are needed. Donations of any wool sweaters would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to donate, you may drop off wool sweaters at the Pulaski Community Middle School, Dynamic Designs, Greater Insurance, Carrot Tree, or Aprill’s vegetable stand at the Pulaski Farmers Market.

Rolean Wernicke has created a new way to recycle wool sweat-ers. Your old wool sweaters that you never wear anymore now can be turned into creative mittens by simply donating them. With new innovative ways to recycle, the world becomes a greener place.

blended together to create a pair of mittens. Then, fleece lining is added to the inside of the mittens. The variety of mittens varies from colorful stripes to having the Red Raider mascot embroidered on them. Usually, the mittens should be hand washed, depending on how much wool content is in the sweater.

This past winter, PCMS sold about 65 pairs of mittens with all of the profit going to the PCMS musical.

“I chose to do this because my children were always involved in the musical, and the music theater can always use more money for props, costumes and paint!” said Wernicke.

Honored guests were recognized for their volunteer service to the Pulaski Community Schools.

Pulaski Community Schools recognizes and honors volunteers.

Cheryl AdeminoBonnie Prokopovitz nominat-

ed Cheryl Ademino for the Frank X. Joswick School- Community Relations Recognition.

Cheryl Ademino has given of her time, for the Pulaski School District, in many areas. State Senator Dave Hansen sent her a note and said she did great vol-unteer work and thanked her for making a difference. This was re-ceived after Cheryl’s picture was in the Pulaski News, along with an article about her donation of around 140 children’s hand-craft-ed chemotherapy hats to St. Vin-cent’s Hospital. She did this in memory of Lee Bock, her friend and mentor.

Her donations to the school district have included hand-craft-ed hats and scarves as well as pur-chased toys and many other items for the “Children’s Christmas Project” that the high school has each year, Cheryl also made hats and scarves for the Pulaski Food Pantry to give to those in need.

At Glenbrook School, Cheryl has donated WebKinz and other stuffed animals for their Family Reading Nights, and has also given items to the yearly PTO Family Fun Night. She donated a series of five books (multiple copies of each) for the third grade guided reading, and single copy books to the Lee Bock Memorial Library at Glenbrook School.

Puppetry and storytelling are two of Cheryl’s favorite volunteer things to do. She has given presen-tations at the PEEPS Christmas Program and two other presen-

tations for PEEPS in their class-room, when their parents visited. She has gone to the Day Care, housed in the Glenbrook School, to give puppet shows and read a book. Over the years at Glen-brook, School, she has visited many of the grade levels and done the same. (Also at Sunnyside, when her husband taught there.) A puppet character is introduced and visits them. A topic (always a learning lesson) is brought up by the puppet. A book that carries on that theme is then read.

This year Cheryl is working on a program with Historical Ameri-can Girl Dolls to represent the dif-ferent eras. A lot of research work is being put into this, and she is continuing to get the background material to go with the dolls.

She also applied for a free American Girl Doll for charitable purposes. If granted, one will be given tot Glenbrook School and used in the auction/raffle at the PTO Fun Night (Cheryl also applied for a grant from American Girls Dolls for the remaining his-torical dolls she still needs. The head of the department called her personally, and told her that she loved her original idea, and what she was going to be doing for the school. However, grants of this kind could not be made for proj-ects outside of Dane County.)

Cheryl always tries to help whenever she sees a need. From a nap blanket to extra hats and mittens, she has provided what she can for the children. She was brought up in a family that owned a business and was taught a very good work ethic. With all of her

Brad Ambrosius Brad Ambrosius, of Glen-

brook Elementary school, was nominated for the Community Volunteer Recognition Award by Kandy Lardinois. Even though Ambrosius’ children no longer attend Glenbrook, he is still vol-unteering for the school.

He cooks for Family Fun Night and he also distributes water to the Glenbrook Runners club runners. Each spring the runners club trains for the Bellin and they run past Ambrosius’ service and he is standing outside passing out water to the kids.

Ambrosius is always willing to give his time to the schools and the community.

Pulaski School honors staff and volunteersteachers, Cheryl gives 100%. I have known Cheryl since the early 1970’s.

I feel Cheryl has been out-standing in her relating, to the stu-dents and community of Pulaski, by all the things she does. Many times she has done thing anony-mously and only her Principal knew and a few close friends.

These are the reasons I feel Cheryl Ademino should be con-sidered for recognition by the Pulaski Community School Dis-trict.

Lorna RothLorna Roth of Sobieski was

nominated by Jane School for the Pulaski Community School Dis-trict Volunteer Service Recogni-tion Award. Roth was nominated for graciously donating her time and talents to the kindergarten classes at Sunnyside Elementary School.

Roth handcrafted 26 “Land of the Letter People” puppets to assist and motivate the students in developing letter identifica-tion and sound/symbol asso-ciation. The puppets she created brought excitement and curiosity to willing learners and will be uti-lized throughout the reading cur-riculum.

In addition, Roth organizes a summer Bible school on an annual basis for our community. Funding for the Bible school for years came out of Roth’s own pocket. Roth’s family also hosts the end-of week party at their house for hundreds of people.

Roth is an outstanding vol-unteer who truly cares about the students in the community. Her kindness has benefited many chil-dren.

Danelle StarkDanelle Stark, Pulaski gradu-

ate, was nominated for the com-munity volunteer service recog-nition award by Melissa Knox. Stark put in many hours of service for both the PCMS triple A program of cheer, stunt and gymnastics and also Pulaski High School cheer team.

Both programs were just be-ginning to get on their feet, with the help of Stark, they are now on their way to becoming a great success. Stark’s leadership quali-ties and dedication to the pro-grams have been a huge help.

“Stark is an amazing young woman with high ambitions and high hopes for the children in our community,” said Melissa Knox.

Sara StumpfJennifer Gracyalny nominat-

ed Sarah Stumpf for the Pulaski School District Volunteer Service Recognition. Hillcrest Elemen-tary School is very fortunate to have Sarah Stumpf as the com-mittee chair of our PTO Multicul-tural Diversity Committee. She has facilitated the multicultural diversity activities of our school for the past four years and has provided our students and staff with unbelievable opportunities. The purpose of the committee that Sarah chairs is to expose children to diverse cultures; assist teach-ers in presenting programs about cultural diversity and sensitivity; help to peak interest and expand knowledge about other places and people; foster appreciation for many cultures with local ties; help children and families learn about and explore their own cul-tural heritage; and “zoom in” to examine a specific region and cultures more closely during the year. Just a sampling of activities this school year include: making of talking feathers in primary grades, participating in African dancing, sampling a variety of ethnic foods during lunch, and inviting many more guest speak-ers of various cultures. The final activity for the year includes an international feast with a special program featuring our students singing multicultural song, per-forming an African dance, sharing a polka dance or two, and show-casing Oneida intertribal dancing. Our families will be able to enjoy an evening of beautiful costumes, talented dancers, specialty dishes, and learn more about other cul-tures!

The Hillcrest staff and students would like to thank Sarah Stumpf for endless hours and efforts orga-nizing these educational learning experiences.

Scott JonesPam Engel, Lannoye Princi-

pal, nominated Scott Jones for the Pulaski Community School Dis-trict Volunteer Service Recogni-tion award.

Scott Jones has been a vol-unteer at Lannoye School for at least three years. He is a devoted regular that assembles Lannoye’s Wednesday family folders and monthly newsletters. He also has been the PTO person who takes care of maintenance of our recess toy shed. He checks on what is needed, keeps balls inflated for the students to use, and monitors needs on a regular basis. We, at Lannoye School, want Mr. Jones to know how much we all ap-preciate his time helping us at Lannoye School over the years. Thank you Mr. Jones for your efforts that foster communication with parents and for working with the supplies our students use and need at recess.

Greg Cady, John Lange and Gary

DrzewieckiPam Denzer nominated Greg

Cady, John Lange and Gary Drze-wiecki for the Pulaski Community School District Volunteer Service Recognition Award. These gentlemen have been instrumen-tal in naming the FFA/NWTF (National Wild Turkey Federa-tion) Learn to Hunt Program a success. This program brings together young hunters and pairs them with experienced mentors, but it is so much more than a few days in the woods. The kick-off program brought together the hunters with their mentors and the hunters received a goody bag with the necessities of a turkey hunter: turkey decoy, camouflage face mask, two turkey callers, a shoot-ing stand, and a blaze orange bag to carry the turkey out of the woods. Shooting day consisted of having the hunters handle and shoot a gun in front of a hunter education instructor. Upcoming events include the turkey clean-ing day and a taxidermy class to mount those beautiful tails, beards and spurs. The highlight of the festivities will be the land-owner appreciation luncheon in the commons at PCMS. The luncheon will bring those land-owners and hunters together so the hunters can share their stories and thank the landowners. I think this is a wonderful opportunity for

Jeanette Babik Jeanette Babik, STEP Worker

for Carrie Wiese, was nomi-nated for the Pulaski Commu-nity School District Volunteer Service Recognition Award. Mrs.Babik has been a STEP worker for Carrie Wiese for several years now. She comes to her room every Monday and Wednesday mornings unless weather permits. She arrives at 8:30 A.M. and stays in her classroom to listen to stu-dents read, practice their spell-ing words, practice math facts, and make occasional photocopies until about 10:30 A.M. After that she helps students get through the lunch line where she stays until noon. Carrie says the children ab-solutely love having her around and look forward to reading with her.

Bonnie ChlopekMary Marlowe nominated

Bonnie Chlopek for the Pulaski Community School District Vol-unteer Service Recognition. As a cancer survivor herself, Bonnie Chlopek is a real champion for the cause of the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. Through-out her treatment and everyday since, Bonnie has been an inspira-tion to all who come in contract with her here at Sunnyside.

This fall, Bonnie, with the help of others organized the first ever, “Sunnyside’s Got Talent” compe-tition to help raise money for the Relay for Life. She called upon parents, former students, teachers and community members to audi-tion and perform that evening. A small donation was accepted at the door from all who attended. It was truly a community event and it was very well attended by students, parents and staff. This event raised over $800. Bonnie will be the first to tell you that she did not do it alone, and that “many hands make light work”, but without her ingenuity and cre-ativity, this event would not have taken place.

She did not stop there. On April 10, Sunnyside families and staff will join together to hold a large Rummage Sale. Again, this was Bonnie’s idea and her hard work and organizational skills will, I’m sure to make it also a huge success.

Terry Erdmann and Chad Matuszak Terry Erdmann and Chad

Matuszak were nominated for the Frank Joswick School-Com-munity Relations Recognition Award by Pam Denzer. Terry and Chad are the co-coordinators of the FFA/NWTF Learn to Hunt Program. The program is de-signed to bring together young hunters (ages 10-16) with expe-rienced hunters and expose them to the world of turkey hunting. As the coordinators of this program Terry and Chad have reached out to leaders of local organizations such as the Pulaski Area Turkey Chasers and the Department of Natural Resources as well as members of our community. The program has over forty young hunters that will be hunting over a four day period in early April.

Russel Finnessey-Cook

Russel Finnessey-Cook, art teacher at Lannoye, Hillcrest, and Fairview Elementary Schools, was nominated by Colleen Miner and the Fairview Staff for the Pulaski Community School Dis-trict Volunteer Service Recogni-tion Award.

Finnessey- Cook was nomi-nated for his working in painting murals in the library at Fairview Elementary School. He has been working in the district for over thirty years as an art teacher and when you walk down the halls of Fairview School you are amazed at his students’ art work.

Finnessey-Cook decided to share his love and talent of art work with the entire school by volunteering his time on week-ends, after school, over the summer, and during his prep time to paint beautiful characters on the library walls to bring reading to life for the students and staff. A library is the central focus of an elementary school and now Fair-view has a warm and inviting at-mosphere due to his work.

When Finnessey-Cook began his project, he incorporated the students’ choices in the drawings. He created drafts of pictures and then students were able to vote

for their favorites to have on the walls of the library.

Upon entering the library, you are greeted with lively charac-ters such as, a prince, a princess, a basketball player, a ballerina, astronauts, and many others that represent the many wonders and joys you fine in meeting character of a good book.

He also posted reasons why we read on the wall: Reading: Have fun, Learn things, Make new friends. His hard work has definitely made the library a ver special place for students, fami-lies, and staff.

Kathleen Gerds Kathleen Gerds of Pulaski

High School was nominated for the community volunteer recog-nition award by Carrie Trina of Sobieski. Gerds not only teaches the composition for publication classes at Pulaski High School, but also serves as the Leo club advisor. The Leo club, with 331 members, is the largest Leo club in the world.

Recently, the Leo club was awarded the international Leo club award of excellence. As advisor, Gerds donates her time to the organized of volunteer oppor-tunities for Pulaski high school students. Gerds makes Leo club a safe haven to students of all back-grounds.

Her positive attitude and com-mitment to the community makes her a great example for all.

Edith Jeske, Pat Klopotek, and Anne Wasurik

Edith Jeske, Pat Klopotek, and Anne Wasurik were all nomi-nated for the Pulaski Community School District Volunteer Service Recognition Award by the Fair-view Elementary School Staff and by Colleen Miner.. They received this nomination in appreciation their many hours of service for the Fairview Elementary School. They gladly provide aid to teach-ers in the building with what-ever help is needed, from helping prepare lessons to helping stu-dents with their math facts.

Students of the school truly enjoy their presence with open arms. “Anne, Pat, and Edith bring such a loving manner to the students,” says Miner, “The students absolutely love working

Tracy JohnsonTracy Johnson was nomi-

nated by Bonnie Chlopek for the Pulaski Community School Dis-trict Volunteer Service Recogni-tion. She was nominated because she consistently volunteers in the LMC and throughout Sunnyside. Johnson helps out with the Book Fair, shelving books, helping with the end of the year inventory and helps out in classrooms when needed.

Colleen Miner and the Fair view Staff have nominated Kathy Gohr, LeAnn Nooyen, Jessica Roberts, and Anne Powers, Of-ficers of Fairview’s Parent Staff Organization, for the Pulaski Community School District Volunteer Service Recogni-tion Award. Kathy, LeAnn and Jessica are new officers to their PSO and with the help of veteran officer Anne, they have organized Family Movie Nights, Gnome Game and Spring Family Picture Night, and an evening concert with Tom Pease complete with an ice cream social for families to enjoy.

In addition to organizing these events, they have sold conces-sions ranging from popcorn, pizza, nachos, hot dogs, hot choc-olate, water and other goodies to raise money for students and staff. With revenues from their fundraising, they purchased five digital cameras, five web cameras, and five flip videos to enhance student learning.

Lori SchuettpelzLori Schuettpelz of Oconto

Falls was nominated for the community volunteer service recognition award by Brenda Wertel. Schuettpelz has donated three or four after-noons a week all school year to help Wertel in her classroom. Schuettpelz is very encouraging and positive when working with the student’s one on one or in groups. She brings in extra ma-terials and anything she can to help out and improve the students learning environment.

“When Schuettpelz comes in she puts herself in with the stu-dents and helps them with what-ever they may need,” said Brenda Wertel.

Julie SmithbackJulie Smithback, mother of

Alex and Emily Smithback, was nominated for the Pulaski Com-munity School District Volunteer Service Recognition Award. The nominator was football coach and teacher Denis Bogacz of Pulaski High School. Smithback was nominated for her assistance, commitment, and organization toward the football program of Pulaski High School.

Last year Smithback took the lead in helping football establish a team to walk in the Relay for Life cancer benefit. Smithback also undertook the daunting task of creating the football program website. Without complaint, she spent hours upon hours not only setting up and putting all the data onto the site, but she was also trained on how to operate it. After her son Alex’s graduation, Smith-back will continue to operate the football website.

Julie Smithback’s service to the football team has been a blessing for all team members, coaches, and fans alike.

Sara SummerfieldJennifer Gracyalny nominated

Sarah Summerfield and her many helpers of the Hillcrest AAA Program for our Community Volunteer Service Recognition. This past summer through PACE, Hillcrest Elementary School was able to implement an afterschool program which features academic support, activities, and arts for our students. Sarah Summerfield was hired to coordinate this program and has done a tremendous job in providing so many great op-portunities for the afterschool stu-dents. She is creative, energetic, and dedicated to supporting our students’ learning academically, physically, socially, and emotion-

Lisa TilqueBonnie Chlopek nominated

Lisa Tilque for volunteering her time at Sunnyside’s LMC. She comes in when ever needed, if it be for helping to process new books, help with the shelving books. She also takes time to work with the Scholastic Book Fair and the PTO, as well as as-sisting teachers whenever pos-sible.

Julia VerHaagh, Jennifer Versch,

and Chris ToonenJulia VerHaagh, Jennifer

Versch, and Chris Toonen have all been nominated for the Pulaski Community School District Vol-unteer Service Recognition award by Debra Manincor who is a Sun-nyside Elementary Teacher.

Manincor believes VerHaagh, Versch, and Toonen deserve rec-ognition for the wonderful job they have been doing, putting to-gether and promoting our Annual Reading night activities over the past two years.

Fort the past two years, this PTO-sponsored team has created a unique, family event in the winter months, usually held in February.

VerHaagh not only books our guests in residence for the evening, but is always avail-able and helping out in any way. Last year, the theme was Family Science and Reading Night, and she secured Professor Gizmo for our school. This year’s theme was Writing and Reading Night, and VerHaagh was able to have author and storyteller, Katie Mcky, come and perform for our students during the day and families at night. She is also very active during the Family Reading Night activities to help ensure that all runs smoothly.

Versch coordinates our reading activities for the Family Reading

Nights. She does a wonderful job of creatively coming up with new ways for families to enjoy reading and to learn how to incorporate it into many other activities. Last year she set up tents in our library area as “reading tents,” and had teachers and other community people come and read a story to the families. This year the hall-ways were filled with literature samples that the children had written, along with the product of many writing activities set up in our commons area for the whole family to enjoy.

Each year VerHaagh and Versch have also helped in coor-dinating a book swap, where fam-ilies may come and swap gently used books from their home col-lection for other books brought in by others.

Toonen, the manager at Star-bucks Coffee on Oneida Street in Green Bay, has come out and fur-nished coffee and hot chocolate for our Family Reading Night. He deserves recognition for the very friendly atmosphere that he sets up and his interaction with the families, especially the chil-dren. He stresses the importance of learning how to read and how reading can help in becoming a successful citizen in our society. Toonen also works hard to get us Starbucks donations and money with the “Make Your Mark” vol-unteer activity.

I am very grateful that we are fortunate enough to have people like VerHaagh, Versch, and Toonen in our Sunnyside family. I feel our whole school and com-munity benefit from the type of energy and knowledge they bring to us.

Rolean Wernicke and Jeff Shadick

Rolean Wernicke and Jeff Shadick were nominated for the Pulaski Community School Dis-trict Volunteer Service Award by The PCMS Music Theater Direc-tors.

For the past four years Rolean has donated her time and talents sewing costumes and designing sets not only has she graciously offered her sewing and artistic skills, she has chosen to do so while tackling the most chal-lenging costume and set designs each year. Whether using her time to seek out the most beauti-ful fabrics and patterns, creating her own patterns to forge into un-charted areas of costume design, or scouring through paint shops and hardware stores looking for the perfect final touch for count-less set pieces. When Rolean takes charge of a project you can guarantee that every detail will be given careful attention. In addi-tion, she organized a fundraising project this year benefiting the music theater program. Rolean approached the musical direc-tors this winter with the idea of making pairs of mittens out of old wool sweaters. Through her cre-ativity and amazing talent Rolean

made dozens of these mitten pairs successfully raising hundreds of dollars for the music theater program.

For the past three years, Jeff has generously donated his time and talents building set pieces for “Seussical, The Musical”, “Bye Bye Birdie”, and “Willy Wonka.” It seems as though Jeff never stops thinking about and creating new ideas to enhance the set. He never seizes to amaze us when he arrives at parent build days and after school rehearsals with “New and improved” plans and sketch-es of the set. Due to his strong work ethic Jeff has been placed in charge of some of our most com-plicated set designs including the rotating scaffold used throughout each musical for the backdrops, a life sized three dimensional tree and bird nest used in “Seussical” and a full sized, fully operational “chocolate” waterfall that will make its debut during “Willy Wonka” although Jeff constantly reassures the team that this is his “release” after a long day at work. The team believes that it takes a very special and genuine person to invest this tremendous amount of time into providing the students of PCMS with such beautiful creations to add to their musical theater experience.

With over two-hundred middle school students involved in the musical each year, Rolean and Jeff have influenced the lives of over eight-hundred students over the past four years. Their gen-erosity and willingness to serve has certainly not gone unnoticed by the musical directors, but somehow a verbal thank you does not seem like an adequate way to show them how truly appreciated they are. Perhaps, recognition by the Pulaski School District would prove to be a more effective way to help them understand what a significant role they have played in all of our lives and will dem-onstrate just how valued they are. Without the help that they have given, the musical productions would not be the huge success they have been, and will be.

Laurie WoodPam Engel nominated Mrs.

ally through this program. Sarah has enlisted the help

of college volunteers from St. Norbert College, high school volunteers from the PHS Leo Club, and additional helpers. These individuals include: Tyler Cobb, Bri Dolan, Sam Goeben, Kathy Gordan, Kim Kessler, Cathy Petrilli, Carrie Roberts, Megan Soukup, Megan Vierck, Carly Borremas, Hailee Kapla, Nav Kaur, Ally Olesinski, Nicole Olesinski, Corrina Schuyler, Kalli Seglund, Kathryn Aho, and Heidi Richard. Because of these volunteers and Sarah’s efforts, our elementary students are able to get individual help with math facts, support with handwriting, a reading buddy, positive role models, and so much more.

Hillcrest Elementary School is fortunate to have this tremendous support and effort for our after-school students. We truly appreci-ate all of Sarah’s efforts in coordi-nating this program as well as the donation of time by the volunteers of our students.

for many years until her “retire-ment” from this volunteer posi-tion at the end of the 2008-2009 school year when her youngest daughter moved on to Pulaski Middle School.

I don’t even know how many years Mrs. Wood was in charge of the Book Fair at Lannoye. She helped the new Book Fair parent’s transition to their new role this year and was on call for advice and counsel whom I know Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs. Wasilew really appreciated.

Mrs. Wood loves books and reading. She did a great job of promoting the Book Fairs without families. She was organized, ef-ficient, and enthusiastic as she handled all the Book Fair duties including set up, coordinating volunteers to work with her, sales, promotion with kids, teachers, and families, and take down of the dis-plays. This was done three times a year. Thank you Laurie for all you did to get books in the hands of kids and families, in classrooms, and in our Library. You have done a lot to promote reading at Lannoye School. Thank you from the Lannoye School Community!

By Ashley Smith Amy Swiecichowski, who

owns the Hofa Park Tavern, is excited to reopen. The Hofa Park Tavern is one of the few remain-ing buildings in Hofa Park. It was built in 1883 and has all the origi-nal footprints. Swiecichowski re-ceived the historic preservation award for renovating this build-ing.

“It was an honor to receive that award,” said Swiecichowski. “It’s nice to see someone else appreci-ate this restoration within its era.”

In order to renovate the build-ing, Swiecichowski had to in-sulate the roof, windows, and siding. Also, Swiecichowski had to bring the building up to code with things like electric, plumb-ing, heating, vents, air condi-tioning and septic system. All of these were green renovations. Swiecichowski also abided by the American Disability Act to include a ramp that had to be the right width and size.

“I made it handicap accessible for my grandmother Bernice, because I wanted to bring her back to see it after the renova-tions, but she passed away before I could,” said Swiecichowski.

As for the dance hall, which was built in the 1930’s, Swie-cichowski is still in the works

of repairing it. Marilyn Wilcox also actively participates in raising money for the dance hall. There are still many things to be done like painting, replacing the windows, siding the building, repairing the floor inside, and upgrading the bathroom’s septic system. Although there are many repairs the original clamshell of the bandstand by the dance floor still remains. There are many plans in the future to raise more money for more renovations. Some events include a Cinco de Mayo fiesta, motorcycle poker run, and various dinners. On fathers day the St. Stainislous Parish church is having a picnic which will allow visitors to see the improvements being made to the building.

“I think what makes the dance hall stand out,” said Wilcox “is the fun time everyone has when they are there.”

There are few dance halls left in existence which makes this dance hall extra special. Many big plans are being made to make these halls special which include putting in a park, forming a hiking trail, and a playground.

“It’s a beautiful facility, and we are trying hard to keep it going with fund raisers and repair work,” said Swiecichowski.

In the future, the dance hall will be renovated. It is one of the few remaining in Wisconsin.

The Hofa Park Tavern has been newly renovated.

Brown County Breakfast on the Farm set for June 6th

On April 15 at 7 p.m., the An-gelica 4-H Club met at the Angel-ica Town Hall for their monthly meeting. The meeting was started by Alyssa Splan leading the American Pledge and Jenna Wolf leading the 4-H Pledge.

Old business was discussed. Everybody that attended the tour of the Weyauwega Cheese Factory shared their experience with the club. Food Stand op-portunities were also discussed. Including which time was best for everybody.

New business. New ideas for members in Visual Arts were shown by Kathy Brown and in-formation about 4-H Camp was also shared. Decisions were made about creating a showcase for June Dairy Month in the area. The showcase would probably include artwork that the 4-H members colored during the meeting.

The next meeting will be on May 11 at the Town Hall. The starting time of this meeting will be changed to 7:30 p.m. instead of 7 p.m.

Respectfully submitted by Alyssa Splan, Angelica 4-H Club Reporter.

John Nygren is announcing a run for reelection as the State Representative from the 89th As-sembly District.

“I am fed up with the big spending, tax increasing ideology currently prevalent in Madison,” Nygren said. “When I travel around Northeast Wisconsin I see families and small employ-ers who are sacrificing every day. They are paying their taxes and taking care of their children with less and are wondering why gov-ernment can’t do the same.”

As a small business owner, John Nygren knows what gov-ernment can do to assist small employers with creating jobs. As author of the Small Business Regulatory Reform Act and a strong opponent of the combined reporting tax and capital gains tax increases, Nygren knows how to create jobs and bring employers to Northeast Wisconsin.

“The nearly $5 billion increase in taxes and fees passed last year has pushed thousands of jobs out of Wisconsin,” Nygren said. “I opposed these taxes and will fight to sunset them. These taxes are right now threatening to send more employers out of Wiscon-sin.”

“Wisconsin needs to partner with our employers to retain and create good paying jobs in Wis-consin. Our government cannot expect employers to create jobs if every time there is a deficit it treats them like piggy banks.”

“As your State Representative, I pledge to continue to fight the big spending, high taxing special

The farm market season is upon us, and farmers may look to home-canned favorites as a way to diversify their income. A law recently signed by Wisconsin Governor Doyle, known as the “Pickle Bill,” allows a person to home-can fruits, pickles, salsa, and other acid and acidified food for sale at farm markets, commu-nity events, or a farm roadside stand.

According to University of Wisconsin-Extension food safety specialist Barbara Ingham, food processors in Wisconsin usually are licensed by the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP).

“The ‘Pickle Bill’ specifi-cally exempts a person from having to obtain a license to can acid or acidified foods for sale,” said Ingham. Exempt processors must still register with DATCP, Ingham notes.

The new law requires that an individual claiming a licensing exemption abide by the following rules:

--Only naturally acid or acidi-fied canned foods produced in a home kitchen may be sold under the licensing exemption. Bakery items, dried or packaged foods, or other processed foods may not be sold under the exemption. Home-canned low-acid foods like veg-etables or meat can never be sold, with or without a license.

--Canned items may be sold only at community or social events, farm roadside stands, or a farmers’ market, only in the state of Wisconsin.

--Sales revenue from exempt products may not exceed $5,000 per year per person. The sales limit for a family is also $5,000 per year.

--Any farm stand or market booth must clearly post a sign stating “These canned goods are homemade and not subject to state inspection.”

--Each jar of canned food that is sold must be labeled with the name and address of the person who prepared and canned the food product, an ingredient state-ment, and the date on which the food product was canned. Each jar must also be clearly labeled with a statement “This product was made in a private home not subject to state licensing or in-spection.”

“Home-canned foods can be potentially hazardous if proper canning procedures are not fol-lowed,” said Ingham. “It’s im-portant to follow an up-to-date, research-tested recipe that will produce a safe, high quality product.”

As a result, the new law re-quires that a person canning foods for sale under the exemption complete a canning safety course or follow an approved recipe. A collection of approved, research-tested recipes from the University

Wisconsin’s new pickle bill brings product to market

of Wisconsin-Extension is avail-able online at www.foodsafety.wisc.edu/preservation.html or from the Shawano County Exten-sion office.

In addition to using an ap-proved recipe, the first batch of each canned product each year must be tested to ensure that it is acid enough to be safely canned. Ingham notes that several com-mercial labs in the state offer this service for a fee.

“A pH test result that declares that the acid value is high enough to prevent botulism toxin from forming will reassure the proces-sor that their product should not harm the consumer,” said Ingham.

Processors canning foods under the “Pickle Bill” should contact DATCP at (608) 224-4700 to register their business. There is no cost for this registra-tion. Individuals with questions about University of Wisconsin-Extension approved canning recipes, or training should contact Barbara Ingham at (608) 263-7383 or bhingham@wisc.edu, or contact Linda Olson at the Shawano County UW-Extension Office. A fact sheet that explains the “Pickle Bill” and provides in-formation on pH testing and other safety measures can be found online at www.foodsafety.wisc.edu.

On April 28, Glenbrook rec-ognized many volunteers at a social gathering held in the Lee Bock Library. The volunteers spend many hours with Glen-brook children by helping them gain reading and math skills that will help them succeed in school and in the community. Through their interest in the children, they send the message that each one of the children has value and is ac-cepted. They give the children time and attention that so many of them crave and truly need. The volunteers show the children that they really do care about them. They support the teachers through

By Colin AbendrothBellin Health announced that

Jerad Marsh is the 2010 Night of Champions Athletic Director of the Year. The Athletic Direc-tor of the Year is someone who goes above and beyond his or her expected duties. Marsh is in his first year as athletic director at Pulaski High School and has already helped in the success of this year’s programs.

“I was excited about this area and the whole community of Pulaski,” Marsh said. “I knew the potential that the school and these kids had when I first came.”

Marsh has created a lot of ex-citement and buzz for kids in the Pulaski High School building. He was instrumental in the creation of “Red Sea” shirts, along with organizing tailgating events and activities for kids to get involved in.

“I wanted to come in and initi-ate excitement and use athletics as a sense of pride,” Marsh said.

Marsh will be recognized on May 16 at Lambeau Field at the Bellin Health Night of Champions ceremony. The goal of the awards

banquet, according to Bellin, is to honor those who contribute more than just athletic ability to the world of sports. These fine people focus on an athlete’s char-acter as well as their abilities, on their commitment rather than their statistics, and their academic and community involvement in addition to their athletic achieve-ments.

NWTC hosts Tech Challenge

By Eman JazayeriHow excelled are you when it

comes to working with technolo-gy and computers? Pulaski High School students learned how dif-ficult a project could be when it comes to Microsoft Office pro-grams on a time limit.

On April 22, students compet-ed in the Tech Challenge/ Knowl-edge Bowl competitions hosted by Northeast Wisconsin Tech-nical College. This special was sponsored by the Bryon L. Walter Family Trust.

They’re committed to con-tributing $50,000 over five years

PHS forensics team was extremely successful this year

By Abbi Whalen“We are very proud of the

team’s success this year, they have worked very hard and come a long way over the season,” said Tricia Yarbro, head coach of Pulaski High School’s forensics team, and Ryan Bice, assistant coach.

The forensics team pushed themselves on to state, located in Madison, coming home with either a gold or silver medal.

“As coaches, we left state com-petition at Madison very proud of our speakers who had all gold and silvers,” said Yarbro.

Competitors include Kimberly Adams, competing in the Four Minute, accomplishing second in conference, and taking home gold at state; Ethan Steeno, com-peting in the Radio Speaking cat-egory of forensics, placing first in Winneconne, placing second in Kaukauna and Conference, and bringing home silver at state; and Ali Carmichel, competing in Farrago, taking first in Confer-ence, and bringin home silver at state. The category Group Interp included Paige Lightner, Hannah Kestly, and Laura Juszczyk, who were finalists in Winneconne, took first in Conference, and won gold at state. Play Acting competitors were Kalie Mullins,

to support NWTC’s Tech Chal-lenge and Knowledge Bowl par-ticipants. The trust’s donations provide scholarships to high school students who win “Star Firsts” in Tech Challenge events. Scholarship winners can redeem their awards upon enrollment as full-time students at NWTC’s Green Bay, Marinette, or Stur-geon Bay campuses. The winning team of Knowledge Bowl is re-warded with educational equip-ment for their school.

The Byron L. Walter Family Trust has contributed to Tech Challenge and Knowledge Bowl

for over 20 years! A thank you from our school goes out to the family for their donations.

The two main competitions, Tech Challenge and Knowledge Bowl, are designed to promote and reward excellence in aca-demic and technical skills, to provide scholarship opportunities to promising students and to en-courage pursuit of post-secondary education.

Students are judged and placed in the following categories: Star First, Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals and then a ribbon for various events.

Tech Challenge deals with business and computers, model building, jewelry, print media, drafting-architectural, machine tool, welding, wood tech, elec-tricity, diesel engines, mathemat-ics, science and early childhood trades. All the competitions that take place are live and right on the campus. The students work from the project instructions to create whatever the judges advise.

Knowledge Bowl is a live, fast-paced quiz and the students need to have knowledge of math, language, sciences, technical skills, computer, and other areas such as psychology, sociology, and economics. Questions are taken from the content of standard high school and technical college entry level courses.

Students that competed from Pulaski include the following: Cassidy Holtz, who received a Gold rating in building under 1,800 square feet; and Kelly Schwister, who received a Gold rating in building under 1,800 square feet and a Bronze rating in Architectural. Each competitor received a medal.

PHS’s forensics team worked very hard this year to receive many medals and awards.

Laura Kawleski, and Morgan Ko-bylarczyk, who finished confer-ence placing second and brought home silver from state. Also, Play Acting competitors Isaiah Rob-ertson and Dani Robertson took home the silver coming home from state.

“Many members of the team were new or in a new category this year, they challenged them-selves and proved success,” said Bice.

For the past two years Sunny-side Elementary has hosted a car show, which showcases race cars sponsored by Kelsey Coating, Inc. The cars include IMCA stock cars, IMCA mods, and a sport four.

Kelsey Coating, Inc., puts on this event every year to share its love for racing with children. Bill Kelsey started racing in 2003, which got his whole family in-volved. The Kelsey family works on Bill’s car once a week to bring the family together and have dinner. On race nights, the family gets involved by having the men work in the pits and the ladies cheering from the stands.

“Kindergarten and first grade students enjoyed visiting with drivers and checking out their race cars,” said teacher Brenda Wertel. “It was a great oppor-

tunity for Sunnyside students to connect with members of their community, and learn about their jobs and hobbies.”

Although many of the children have never seen a race car before, they had many questions and were excited to learn about the cars. Sunnyside students also had the opportunity to sit in the different cars and talk to the drivers. The students’ excitement rose when Bill Kelsey started his race car.

“We had a great turn out this year with 12 of Kelsey Coating sponsored cars. We appreciated them taking the time out of their busy schedules; some even took the day off of work to come with the cars for the kids,” said Trisha Kelsey Morz.

Donations were made by Dave Panske of Panske Enterprises and Karl Kelsey. Donations included checkered flags for the kids and snacks.

That’s what some believe. So, for subjects ranging from Spanish to science, from homework help to exam reminders, teachers around the country are beginning to allow students to text in class. “You’ve got a classroom full of students walking in with a computer in their pocket. Why would you not use it?” said Ron Smith, who has defied district policy for the past five years to allow cell phone use in his high school art and design classes in Hollywood, California. At Chester Middle School, an hour north of New York City, Principal Ernie Jackson, 52, chal-lenged his staff to teach poetry using text messaging. He then gave an old version of a state test to those students who texted in summaries of the poems and to those who learned the poems in a traditional manner. The result was that those who texted averaged 80 percent on the exam, versus 40 percent for those who didn’t. “If the kids are motivated, they do better than if they’re not. The kids are very motivated about doing this,” Jackson said in a tele-phone interview with AOL News. Sixth-grader Jenna Sharp, 11, was one of those who used text-speak to summarize her poem. She thought it was a great teaching tool. “Usually kids don’t like to read,” Sharp said, “but you read in text messages.” Opponents of cell phone use in classrooms argue that not all students have phones. And even those who do might be paying hefty fees for text messages. Spanish teacher Katie Titler, 30, required her students at Pulaski High School near to have their parents sign a permission slip before they could use a cell phone in class. Parents had a few choices. They could opt out, allow the phone to be used only for recording speaking as-signments, or allow full cell phone use, including texting. To ensure that all students can par-ticipate, Titler has them work in pairs to text in complete answers in Spanish to questions such as, “What is your favorite board game and why?” She uses the website “Poll Everywhere,” which allows

Teaching by texting starts to take holdher to project the anonymous replies to the entire class. The students then collectively check them for grammar and spelling. “Being able to text in class is just something new and in a way re-juvenates us because it is not the usual ‘take notes, then do home-work,’ like we do in the rest of our classes,” Pulaski student Kevin Dunford said. “It’s a new flavor.” This is Titler’s second year using cell phones in class, and she has not had any problems. She said the students under-stand it is a privilege to be able to learn in this interactive way. She also believes that her students are learning a larger lesson about technology. “They are aware that what they write and publish affects others,” she said. If the students have their cell phones out when they aren’t sup-posed to, Titler enforces district policy: The phones are taken away and turned into the office. Most teachers who use cell phones in class also find it useful to blast text messages to their stu-dents, reminding them of home-work assignments and tests. Titler gave parents the option of signing up for the texts so they could keep better tabs on what their chil-dren were working on in class. Of course, once a teacher texts a student, the student then has the teacher’s cell phone number, but the teachers interviewed said stu-dents have not abused that fact. Sheila Moore, 55, head of the science department at Croatan High School in Newport, North Carolina, said she decided to allow students to use their cell phones as calculators five years ago, and it progressed from there. So far this year, they used the video function on their cell phones to make a public service announcement about recycling for Earth Day; the camera func-tion to take pictures of organ-isms for later identification; and texting to stay in touch during a field trip. Students without a cell phone pair with those who have one or borrow tradition-al equipment from the school. “We’re 23 percent free-lunch stu-dents, yet they have a cell phone,” Moore said. “They’ve got this magical tool that we don’t have to pay for that’s right at their finger-tips.”

By Hannah RothPulaski High School offers

a semester long course on the basics of economics, taught by Mike Nickerson.

“The United States economy is extremely complex but this course is designed to help stu-dents get a better understanding of that system,” said Nickerson.

This course uses the Junior Achievement curriculum and involves visits from a Junior Achievement volunteer about once a week. The volunteer that currently comes in to work with the economics students is Todd Rosvold, the CEO of the Pulaski-Chase Cooperative in Pulaski. Rosvold has been the consuww-wltant for this economics class since the spring of 2005 and before that volunteered at a junior high school in central Wisconsin.

“My position at the Co-op is all about economics: trade with farmers, homeowners, and other industry in the Pulaski Area,” said Rosvold.

He comes in one day a week for 10 weeks and talks with the students about topics that Nick-erson is currently going over with them in class.

“The students are very inter-ested in the subject material and give me a lot of feedback on what we are covering,” said Rosvold.

All of the students in the class are seniors, so the connection between what they are learning and their post high school plans for college or a career has rel-evancy for them.

“Junior Achievement is all about educating students about being ready to be an effective and productive member of the workforce, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy,” said Rosvold.

In order to make the sessions more interesting for the students, Rosvold comes up with more hands-on activities for the stu-dents to do.

“I can relate real life experi-

Junior Achievement benefits economics class

ence to what they are taught in Nickerson’s class. Most of the topics we cover aren’t theoreti-cal but are actual situations that I’ve seen or am involved in,” said Rosvold.

Rosvold and Nickerson really enjoy working together to teach this class.

“The students’ questions and interactions during class are something I really enjoy, espe-cially when it’s apparent that they understand the material and what I am trying to convey,” said Rosvold.

Junior Achievement really adds a lot to this course, making it more effective and more appli-cable to the students.

“Resources like Rosvold, our business consultant, textbook and study guide, and an online busi-ness simulation are all provided free from Junior Achievement,” said Nickerson.

This class has proven ben-eficial for students enrolled in it thanks to Todd Rosvold and Junior Achievement.

For “Earth Day,” first graders at Assumption BVM collected and measured all of the food that was wasted during each lunch period.

As an “Earth Month” Challenge, Cora Boucher, a first grade teacher at Assumption BVM, asked her students to read 5,000 minutes from April 1 through Earth Day. If they reached this goal, she had to ride her bike 13 miles to school. The first grad-ers met their goal and read 5,385 minutes! Boucher poses on her bike with her first grade students.

A Pulaski senior, Blake Smith, son of Roy and Tyra Smith, has received the great honor to be in the Kids from Wisconsin musical performance program. In this program, a very select few stu-dents are chosen out of a large array of auditions to take part in the program. Kids audition in different areas of musical enter-tainment such as instrumental or vocal.

The program plays 65 to 70 shows during the months of June, July, and August at county fairs, festivals, and conventions. Pro-ceeds from the shows raise money for charities. The Kids from Wisconsin program has been in existence sense 1969. Mark Azzolina founded the program by request of Governor Warren P. Knowles of Wisconsin, who wanted to show Wisconsin’s best youth to the world. After select-ing a creditable staff, he chose 60 young entertainers out of over 400 auditions to participate in the program. Many of these perform-ers go on to achieve success in the entertainment industry. Since then, the alumnus has grown up to 700.

Blake Smith has been chosen to play trombone for the Wis-consin Show Troupe band. This is a great opportunity for Smith because he will be able to play with other talented kids from all over Wisconsin. He will also be taught by excellent teachers and coordinators to play exceptional music. This great opportunity can open up many doors for the future of the members. Many of the kids go on to be successful entertain-ers as adults. Wherever Smith chooses to go with his music, this opportunity will help him get there.

The Kids from Wisconsin Mission Statement is, “The Kids from Wisconsin shall seek out, train, and showcase the musically gifted youth of Wisconsin in a manner which will demonstrate the outstanding artistic talent, personal character, and leader-ship potential present in Wiscon-sin’s greatest natural resource, its young people.”

This mission statement has remained true as the Kids from Wisconsin has found and showed kids from all over Wisconsin with exceptional talent, including Blake Smith, to show the nation what Wisconsin is all about for the last 42 years.

Blake Smith has been chosen to be a kid from Wisconsin.

The original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory has always been a childhood favorite for many in the past. This year the Pulaski Community Middle School chose Willy Wonka for their yearly musical. Every-one was there, including Willy Wonka, Charlie Bucket, Augus-tas Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, Mike Teavee, the Bucket Family, and, of course, the Oompa Loompas.

The musical starts off with Willy Wonka, played by Hunter Vannieuwenhoven, singing “Pure Imagination” and “Golden Age of Chocolate” with his Oompa Loompas. As Wonka narrates, the Bucket family is introduced in the first scene. The Candy Man, played by James Uelmen, and the children sing about who can take a sunrise and sprinkle it with dew, “the Candy Man can.” Charlie finds out about Willy Wonka’s new contest, five lucky children will be allowed to tour the factory, but little do they know Wonka is looking for someone to take his place after he retires.

Augustus Gloop (played by Brad Wigger), Veruca Salt (played by Kelly Szczepanski), Violet Beauregarde (played by Cari Hansen), Mike Teavee (played by Devon Caelwaerts) and Charlie Bucket (played by Evan Powers) are the five lucky children who get chosen to tour Wonka’s factory. Each room in the factory tempts a specific child that has been chosen. As the play continues, one by one each child disobeys the rules and ends up leaving the tour before it is over. At the end, only Charlie is left, but Charlie confesses that he too broke the rules and doesn’t deserve his lifetime supply of chocolate. Wonka is so impressed by Charlie’s honesty, he offers Charlie the factory and allows his entire family to live in the factory also.

The play, being an over all hit, was sold out every night they performed, which was April 30, May 1, and May 2. Wesley Horch, an eighth grader who performed in this years musical said, “My favorite part of the musical is when we run down the aisles and people are shocked from where we came from.”

According to Tyler Frye, a seventh grader, said, “I have so much fun doing musical perfor-mances every year. I only have one more year to perform in my PCMS career.”

The children are the heart of the performance, and love being there to perform, however the di-rectors can have an equal if not better time than the young per-formers.

Amy Wright, Co-Director/Choreographer, said, “I’m ex-tremely proud of all my cast and crew members. It’s exciting to watch the sixth, seventh, and eighth graders take on such a large challenge and be so success-ful. All of the directors want to thank the parents for all they did in every aspect of the show.”

By the looks on everyone’s faces, the laughter from every single person in the auditorium and even some who had tears in their eyes by the end of the per-formance you could tell that the show was an utter success.

Willy Wonka is back in town!

Charlie Bucket gladly accepts Willy Wonka’s offer to own his factory with his family.

The Bucket Family includes Sage Hill (Mr. Ronald Bucket), Dillon Hare (Grandpa Joe), Hannah Stephanie (Grandma Josephine), Paige Stepien (Grandma Georgina) Noah Clough (Grandpa George), Evan Powers (Charlie Bucket), and Mrs. Dorothy Buck-et (Morgan Strzelecki).

(Future Business Leaders of America) members traveled to the Resch Center in Green Bay. On this annual field trip the stu-dents were given an overview of operations by Terry Charles, head of marketing at PMI. Members learned all about the financial, marketing, and planning of con-certs, athletic events, and other entertainment events hosted at the Resch Center. Students were given an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at dressing rooms, locker rooms, suites and more.

The second part of the field trip included an accounting round-table session with representatives from UWGB, NWTC, St. Norbert College, and Schenck Busi-ness Solutions. Students were offered information about college programs in the accounting and

business fields as well as given today’s trends in related careers. Students learned that accounting is included in a wide range of jobs and that many businesses favor accounting degrees because of its versatility in the business world.

Some students may say that getting the chance to explore the ice of the Green Bay Gamblers was their favorite part, while others would say that the round-table session or the tasty lunch was best.

Jenny Karrasch, an FBLA member, said, “It was neat to see the inner workings of the Resch Center, as well as to being able to sit down and talk face to face with area business and college person-nel.”

The trip was funded by a grant from the Wisconsin Institute of Certified Public Accountants (WICPA).

On May 6, Glenbrook had a spring concert in celebration of the last century of music. The kids sang a collection of songs from the past 100 years. They sang classics such as “Over the Rain-bow” from The Wizard of Oz and “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from Toy Story. Each class had a particular decade to sing songs from the past 10 decades. The performance ended with the Lumberjack polka performed by the fifth grade, accompanied by Steve Rodgers (accordion), Bruce Brzeczkowski (concertina) and Zach Brzeczkowski (drums) A video of the final song can be see at the Pulaski News website at pulaskinews.org. Wayne Pierre did a great job directing all the children.

Jennifer Ziech, a certified public accountant, read money-themed books to first graders at Glenbrook School in honor of National Financial Literacy Month in April.

By Tammy Brzeczkowski On April 29, Jennifer Ziech, a

certified public accountant and a graduate of Pulaski High School, read money-themed books to Jane Hinderman’s first grade class at Glenbrook School.

“It is a great opportunity for students to learn about money,” said Ziech. “It was wonderful coming back to my elementary school again too.”

Ziech, who is employed with Anderson Tackman and Company, PLC, in Green Bay, is a member of the Wisconsin Institute of CPAs (WICPA). The group organized a program, called Reading Makes Cents, that read money-themed books to over 1,300 Wisconsin elemen-tary students during the month of April, National Financial Literacy Month.

In an effort to teach financial literacy skills, WICPA members read about the basics of money through age-appropriate books selected from a recommended reading list. The CPAs received handouts to bring to class, in-cluding a flyer targeted to parents about teaching kids to save, a give-away item for the students and financial literacy curriculum

that was left with each instruc-tor. WICPA members selected schools of their own children, relatives or neighbors.

Teaching financial literacy is a goal of the WICPA. The In-stitute also promotes the Feed the Pig campaign developed by the American Institute of CPAs and Ad Council and supports the AICPA’s 360 Degrees of Fi-nancial Literacy campaign. In addition, it provides member volunteers to participate in finan-cial simulation events across the state where high school students choose careers and make deci-sions about their budgets and life-styles. The activity is a fun and effective way for students to learn about personal accounting, finan-cial responsibility and life choices and interact with business people. Approximately 10 more of these events are taking place before the end of the school year.

By Leah Andreini Butch Reimer, Director of Fa-

cilities for the Pulaski District, was named Coach of the Year for UWGB cross country skiing.

“It is a good honor for me, and the school since it’s the first time for the school,” said Reimer.

Reimer explained that cross country skiing is more of an in-dividual sport because, team wise, there are better teams, but individually his skiers are more talented. Reimer was also nomi-nated for the National Ski Coach.

“It is not a big thing for me to be recognized. I am recognized because of my skiers and the team,” Reimer said humbly. “I take my vacation time to do this.”

As you strive to achieve your long-term goals, such as a com-fortable retirement, you may, at times, feel frustrated over events you can’t influence, such as the up-and-down move-ments of the financial markets. Yet there is much you can control — once you determine the answers to just five key questions. Where am I today? Take stock of all your assets — your IRA, 401(k) and other savings and investment accounts. Then, do the same for your debts, such as your mortgage and any other financial obligations. On your finan-cial journey through life, it’s essential that you know your starting point. Where would I like to be? Once you’ve established where you are today, you’ll need to identify where you’d like to be tomorrow. How much will you need to pay for the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned? Will you be able to help pay for your children’s or grandchildren’s college educa-tion? Will you need to support any other family members? At this stage, you’ll want to write down all your goals and put a price tag on each one. Can I get there? After you’ve identified your goals, deter-mine if they are, in fact, achievable. By considering a variety of factors — including your likely future income stream and your family situation — you should be able to determine if you can attain your goals or if you need to modify them in some way. How do I get there? Now it’s time to put a strategy into action. Spe-cifically, you need to choose those investments that can help you pursue the goals you’ve selected. Your ideal portfolio will depend on your risk tolerance and time horizon, but in general, you’ll want a diversified mix of quality investments. While diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it can help reduce the effects of volatility. As you put together your holdings, make sure you understand what you can expect from your invest-ments. For example, growth stocks may offer the highest potential returns, but they also carry the greatest risk. On the other hand, in-vestment-grade bonds can offer a steady income stream and, barring the default of the issuer, will repay your principal when they mature. How can I stay on track? Once you’ve built your investment port-folio, you’ll need to review it regularly — at least once a year — to help ensure it’s still meeting your needs. After all, many things can and will change in your life, such as your family situation, your goals, your employment and your risk tolerance. To address these changes, you’ll need to adjust your portfolio over time. As you can see, answering all these questions will take both work and exper-tise. That’s why you may want to work with a professional financial advisor to help you identify your goals and create a strategy for pursuing them. In any case, though, start asking — and answering — these five key questions as soon as you can. It’s easier to reach your financial goals if you put time on your side.

Five questions to help pursue your dreams & goals

Patrick Riordan, President/CEO of Cellcom, receives the Out-standing Service Award from RCA President and CEO Steven K. Berry.

The Rural Cellular Associa-tion (RCA) announced its Annual Achievement Award winners during the Annual Convention and Exhibition in Las Vegas last week. Four members were recog-nized in separate categories for their outstanding contributions made to the Association over the past year.

Patrick D. Riordan, President/CEO of Cellcom, received the Outstanding Service Award. This award recognizes a person or company’s noteworthy, dedicated service to the industry. The recip-ient of this award has gone above and beyond the normal call of duty, reflecting positively on the wireless industry and particularly on rural and regional wireless car-riers.

The RCA panel said, “Throughout the year, Pat has led the charge in bringing issues to the forefront for the good of small carriers. His company has unself-ishly helped establish a dialogue between carriers on issues such

as handset exclusivity, spectrum access, and data roaming.”

Nominations for the award were collected during the month of March and then presented to RCA’s selection committee, which is comprised of the elected officers of the RCA. The com-mittee selected the award recipi-ent prior to the Annual Conven-tion, and the award was presented during the opening session of the Annual Convention and Exhibi-tion.

In a statement, RCA President and CEO Steven K. Berry said, “Each award recipient is very deserving of recognition for their exceptional contributions. It has been a pleasure working with such dedicated individuals who have worked very hard not only for our Association, but also for the wireless industry as a whole. We are all indeed fortunate to have individuals of this caliber dedicated to providing quality wireless services to America.”

The American Cancer Society is working to create a world with more birthdays, where cancer never steals another year from anyone’s life. The ACS Relay For Life of Pulaski, held on April 17, was a day to celebrate local contributions of over $69,000 to this cause. “Birthday Celebra-tions,” this year’s theme, fit right in as teams decorated their camp-sites with birthday decorations and birthday cakes. Later a cake-walk was part of the day’s activi-ties.

ACS Relay For Life of Pulaski Celebrates Birthday

Citizen’s Bank Relay for Life team members had a great time providing the fundraising for the cook-off. Team members are Karen Welcing, Michele Moore, Cami Sommers, Stephanie Rod-gers, Mary Schoenhofen, and Ashley Hoffman.

Leo Club members Luca Brilli, Chantel Streblow, Alecia Erdman, Alex Wenninger, Kelsey Trina, Mike Clausen, were happy to work at the Relay For Life.

The Relay began with an invo-cation by Fr. Patrick Gawrlyews-ki from ABVM Parish in Pulaski; then the National Anthem was sung by Sharon Krumrai of Pulaski. Next everyone present was motivated by the opening ceremony remarks of Zach Prestby and his family. Zach is a student at Pulaski Community Middle School, a two-time cancer survivor and a young man who has the will to combat this disease for himself and others. Zach’s

remarks were followed by a Sur-vivor Lap as all cancer survivors walked around the track, they then were joined by caregivers, and then everyone took to the track on the third lap to start on our journey to fight cancer.

An added event this year was a 5K Walk/Run with over 100 participants taking to the streets of our community to raise aware-ness. Runners, walkers, and stroll-ers certainly carried the Relay message through out Pulaski. Other events included, Locks of Love & Beautiful Lengths where volunteer stylists Chris Jacobson, Kathy Gohr, and staff from Me-ridian Salon of Pulaski gave eager volunteers haircuts and styles with the “lengths” being donated to programs for cancer victims; Massage Therapy by Nancy Zima; Balloon Art by Hunni and DeeZee; a scavenger hunt; a hula-hoop contest; and a frozen t-shirt contest. The children’s corner included coloring, remov-able tattoos, lego building, story telling, and a “Happy Birthday” cupcake station was manned by Girl Scout Troop 561. Bay Tek Games made available games they produce and all money earned benefited the Relay. A themed basket raffle was ongoing through out the day, and winners

took home great prizes! Educa-tional and Advocacy information was available for participants to learn more and how to become an advocate for the cause of fighting cancer. Kind Photography cap-tured moments and memories in photo, and Terryoke’s Mountain Top Entertainment, LLC, donated DJ services for the entire day.

Barb Mleziva spoke during the Fight Back Ceremony chal-lenging survivors and family members to realize how important it is to continue the mission of the Relay For Life by being dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives and diminish-ing suffering from cancer through research, education, advocacy, and service.

The Luminary Ceremony with the ABVM Shining Stars provid-ing the music was a touching end to this wonderful day as lights surrounded the track in memory or honor of those who have expe-rienced cancer.

The Relay For Life of Pulaski surpassed its overall goal by raising more than $69,000, in-creased the number of participants and survivors, allowing us to extend our reach of cancer aware-ness and prevention message. Thank you to the participants and

community members who made this event such a success.
