Pulaski News

By Brianna OelschlagerFamily, faith, and farm are

the hallmarks of John and Renee Malcheski’s lives. John and Renee received the 2011 Com-munity Service Achievement Award on March 29. Over 260 family, friends, and community members attended the function. The evening was full of emo-tions, everything from laughter to tears. John and Renee were given the award by Premier Commu-nity Bank in partnership with the Pulaski Area Chamber of Com-merce.

Mary Wichmann of the Pulaski Area Chamber of Com-merce introduced representatives from Premier Bank and said, “The Malcheskis would have been nominated years ago, but they were too humble to accept the nomination.”

The first speaker was Mary VanDenHeuvel. She shared memories of a selfless John in Haiti. “We packed sturdy walking shoes, and a walking stick. John packed loafers and tic-

Malcheskis live:family, faith, and farm

The Malcheski-Martin children gathered around their mother to congratulate Renee and their dad John on receiving the Community Service Achievement Award. Standing in the back row are Al Martin, Pat Martin, Steve Martin, Scott Martin. Standing in the front row are Cindy Babiarz, Ann Malcheski, Renee Malcheski, Sandy Ryczkowski, and Joan Malcheski. The family would like to thank everyone who attended the wonderful Community Service Achievement Award Ban-quet.

John and Renee Malcheski shared many years of a hap-py marriage.

tacs for the Haitian children,” said VanDenHeuvel.

Cathy Ripley, a coworker of Renee at Assumption BVM School, thanked Renee for 30 years of service to Assumption BVM. “Renee gave me great advice, and I also admired her as a great dresser; we worked as a team,” said Ripley. “Renee would always tell me you can’t love something, you can only love someone.”

Connie Huxford spoke of John as a harvester, and that it was a blessing to have him in the com-munity. Huxford shared a poem about God’s harvest.

Bud Rusch, a long time friend of John, spoke about the Assump-tion BVM produce wagon. “John made our community and the world a better place to be,” said Rusch. “The world would be a better place if there were more people like the Malcheskis in it,” said Rusch.

Fr. Patrick Gawrylewski of Assumption BVM Parish said John was a pilgrim, not a tourist, in his travels. “He was very mis-sion-minded. He helped people make improvements in their daily lives wherever he traveled,” said Fr. Gawrylewski. John also made suggestions on how to do things at Assumption BVM.

Michelle Reidi-Baumgartner of People Services at St. Mary’s Hospital said, “Laurine, as Renee is known at St.Mary’s Hospi-tal, is extremely energetic and a welcome long-term volunteer.

She has been volunteering at the hospital for 19 years.”

Cathy Treankler said, “John touched many people’s hearts. He found time for people. He touched hearts locally, as well as around the world.”

Jim Zajac, a long time travel-ing companion of John’s, talked about John’s faith and his charac-ter. “We graduated together in the class of 1950, and accomplished many things,” said Zajac. “After a school for the blind in India col-lapsed due to an earthquake, John and I started Pulaski Penny Power and raised over $10,000 to rebuild the school.”

Dr. Ed Vogel, a medical doctor involved with Friends of Haiti, read a letter to John from Benito Jasmin in Haiti. Benito looked up to John as a father and thanked him for all the help John has given to him and to Haiti.

John and Renee’s children, Cindy Babiarz, Sandy Rycz-kowski, and Pat Martin, spoke about the three tenets of the Mal-cheski family- faith, family, and farm. Cindy spoke first and talked about how important faith was in their family and the connection to Assumption BVM church and school.

“In a restaurant, you would still see my mom and dad bow their heads, make the sign of the cross, and say a little prayer before eating.” said Babiarz. She also talked about John marrying Renee, a widow with six children. The hope was that he would love the children, and he did.

Sandy Ryczkowski spoke about the love of their family. Nine children filled the family home with love and energy. She talked about the fun they had playing football, trampolines, four-wheelers, and snowmobiles.

“Dad and us wanted a pool, and mom put the kibosh on it,” said Ryczkowski, and got many laughs from the crowd. “There was volunteering, and if we didn’t volunteer, we were ‘voluntold’.”

Pat Martin talked about the importance of hard work on the farm, and training visiting young farmers to also learn dairy and agronomy. “People from all over the world would come to learn farming, and mom would see that three meals were put on the table each day,” said Martin. “Farming and education were very impor-tant to our family.”

Mary Wichmann of Pulaski Area Chamber of Commerce presented Renee Malcheski with the Community Service Achieve-ment Award. Ann Malcheski, her daughter, spoke on behalf of her mother, “We want to thank our dear, dear friends for all their support, and I am very grateful to the chamber for this award. Your sweet friendship refreshes my soul.”

Joan Malcheski had a video made of John so that they would have the words of their parents throughout their lives. The video showed John about three weeks prior to his death, talking about the importance of hard work and the union of something bigger than themselves.

In the video, John said, “My wife really does the important things. She’s the one that makes sure we visit the sick, take care of the elderly, and to be charitable. What is life without doing some

of these things?” John thanked ev-eryone for coming to the banquet.

Joan Malcheski closed the evening saying John was worried about the continuation of the produce wagon. Joan suggested to her dad that they hand out seeds to the guests at the banquet and ask that the produce which grew from the seeds be donated back to the produce wagon. John said to Joan that people would not do that. Joan said they just might. The Malcheski children and grandchildren went through the banquet area and handed each guest a package of seeds of the particular brand John grew.

For the closing of the banquet, Joan Malcheski wanted everyone to know, “My dad said everyone only does things for themselves, to get something out of it. He wanted people to do things for other people, just to make them happy.”

The men and women of the Pulaski Police Depart-ment wish to send our deepest condolences to the family of Officer Craig Birkholz. Officer Birkholz paid the ul-timate sacrifice to his com-munity when he was gunned down in the line of duty while responding to complaint of an alleged sexual assault in the city of Fond du Lac. All police officers realize that there is always the potential for this type of evil in every community, with every citizen contact we make. We attempt to train for it, to be prepared for the unexpected, however the reality is we can never predict the circumstances that would push an individual into such a cruel malicious state of mind. Please pray for the family of this young officer, he is war veteran that truly dedicated his life to protect and serve his country and his community. On Wednesday and Saturday, police officers will be driving from all over the state to pay tribute to their

Letter to the Editorfallen brother.

This incident is a harsh reality of the dangers that police officers face, it knows no boundaries and can happen anywhere at any time, even here in our “quiet” loving community. We all mourn the loss of this young officer and are forced to come to the blunt realization, that even when we do things right according to our endless hours of training, we can lose it all. Please re-member to keep the men and women that serve you in your prayers. It is a very difficult job to serve and keep the peace, we come under close scrutiny for our actions which we un-derstand and expect, however often we are in a position that does not allow for us to defend ourselves. A police officer un-derstands the dangers and the potential for negative public opinion for what we have to do. We chose to serve you and we do it with no regrets. God wwBless our public servants.

By Rachel EverardKim Noe, an English teacher

at Pulaski High School, was nom-inated for the 2011 Golden Apple Award. A select number of teach-ers are chosen for his or her dedi-cation and inspiration they bring to the classroom.

“It was my goal to help others see and grasp the progressive di-rection of education today, and, through the collaboration of my team, we have been very much successful in helping many to see the true ‘apple of our eyes’- a passion for teaching,” said Kim Noe.

A new teaching method Noe is putting into practice is pairing up students who normally would not work together and then get to know each other based on in-terpretation and originality. Pre-sentations were created to break down information about one another’s partners and visually show a deeper, more vivid picture of who the students really were.

“My hope was that through this project, students could feel more comfortable opening up to each other for future collabora-tion” said Noe. All of her stu-dents found that the greatest thing they learned from the project was what they learned about them-selves and not to judge people based on what others have said

FOX 11 News interviews Kim Noe after announcing that she is a recipient of the 2011 Golden Apple Award.

about them. Noe connects with her stu-

dents through the use of journals. Each journal reflects on the stu-dents’ lives or a lesson from the previous day.

“I want my students to know that their involvement in my class and their individuality contributes

to the success of all the members of the class and that without them, every member would be at a loss” said Noe. She responds to her stu-dent’s journal entries with either a few sentences or an entire page.

Every year, there are teach-ers that stand out for their hard work and have the privilege to be recognized. Noe has shown her dedication and inspiration to the Pulaski School District and her students. Having these qualities is what makes Noe a perfect recipi-ent for the Golden Apple Award.

In the sport four class, having been racing four years now, has been his best year yet—winning five features. Ambro-sius regularly raced three races a week, which makes winning at one track a big deal. Also very important to Ambrosius is that he thanks his sponsors Arrow Auto, Brads Service, Tri County Small Engine, Raider Tire, Performance Auto Body, Bay Tech Games, Edward Jones Investments of Pulaski, Cutting Edge Signs, and Pulaski Shell. He is already looking forward to his next year on the track.

“Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another. “

~G.K. Chesterton

Robert Adamick, son of Robert and Laurie Adamick and eighth grader at PCMS, has been noti-fied by the National Geographic Society that he is one of the semi-finalists eligible to compete in the 2011 Wisconsin Geographic Bee. The Bee is sponsored by Google and Plum Creek.

Bees were held in schools with fourth through eighth grade students throughout the state to determine each school’s Geo-graphic Bee winner. School-level winners then took a qualifying test, which they submitted to the National Geographic Society. In each of the 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia, the De-partment of Defense Dependents School, and the U.S. territories, the National Geographic Society invited the students with the top 100 scores to compete at the state level.

The 2011 Wisconsin Geo-graphic Bee will be held at the National Headquarters of Ameri-can Family Insurance in Madison on April 1, 2011.

The state winner will receive $100, the Complete National Geographic on DVD, and a trip to Washington, D.C., where he/she will represent Wisconsin in the national finals at the National Geographic Society headquarters,

May 24 and 25, 2011. The first-place national winner will receive a $25,000 college scholarship and lifetime membership in the Society. The national winner will also travel (along with one parent or guardian), to the Galapagos Islands in an all expenses paid trip. The winner will experience geography firsthand through up-close encounters with the wild-life and landscape of Galapagos. Travel for the trip is provided by Lindblad Expeditions and Nation-al Geographic.

By Morgan Swiecichowski FFA member Kayla Nischke,

daughter of Wayne and Connie Nischke, was named one of the finalists in the state of Wiscon-sin for the Star Farmer in Ag-riculture Placement. When a member sends in his or her FFA state degree application, he or she can also choose to apply for a star degree. To be considered for a star, the applicant must have an outstanding application and program in her desired field.

“It really is an honor to be chosen as a finalist in the state; it means all my hard work is shining through and being recognized,” said Nischke.

The top three stars will be chosen in June at the state FFA convention in Madison. The fi-nalists will be interviewed by a panel of judges at convention and chosen by the strength of the combined interview and applica-tion. Best wishes go to Kayla in June!

Kristin Whitehorse stands with Senator Herb Kohl at the edu-cation foundation luncheon.

By Jake PelegrinOn March 26, Kristin White-

horse, daughter of Charlie and Barb McKeefry, a 1998 Pulaski High School graduate and teacher at Oconto Falls High School, was recognized at the Herb Kohl Edu-cational Foundation’s 2011 Rec-ognition Luncheon.

This program annually pro-vides grants of $1,000 to 100 graduating high school seniors, 100 teachers, and 100 schools throughout Wisconsin. White-horse had the honor of winning of one of these grants. Sheila Briggs, Assistant State Superintendent of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, acknowledged that these are “the best and bright-est teachers” in Wisconsin and they “kindle sparks in students.”

“We must honor teachers in our democratic society and that the Foundation is one way which I myself can give back to the great state of Wisconsin. You have our eternal gratification for all you do,” said United States Senator Herb Kohl.

At Oconto Falls High School, Whitehorse teaches World History, AP Psychology, and Civic Leadership. She started the school’s psychology program and according to Briggs, it is “one of the most sought after courses”. Whitehorse is also a dance coach and a Student Council advisor. Briggs said Whitehorse is a “champion for education at the local, state, and national level.”

Studio in Suamico displays ex-amples of hard-work, dedica-tion, and sportsmanship. At the Power of Dance (POD), dancers are seeing their dreams and hard work come to realization and re-cently it’s been in the National and International spotlight.

The Power of Dance All Star Teams traveled to Minneapo-lis, Minnesota on February 24 through February 27 to compete at the 20th Annual UPA Americup National Dance Championship. At the competition, over 3,000 competitors attended from across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Divisions of competition ranged from Tiny (5 year olds) to Collegiate, competing in catego-ries such as pom, jazz, kick, hip-hop, and open. As well as large groups, participants were able to compete in skill events, solos, and small groups. The Power of Dance brought three teams to the event this year: their Youth Team (ages 11 and under), Junior Team (ages 14 and under), and Senior Team (ages 18 and under), as well as four small groups, five duets, and eight solos.

The outcome for Power of Dance at the competition proved very well. The POD Youth team placed fourth in Hip-Hop and was crowned first place National Champions in Youth Pom! Since they placed first place, they then were chosen to compete in Grand Champion Finals and earned second place overall with their Champion Pom routine. The POD Junior team won fifth in Junior Pom and placed sixth in Junior Jazz. The POD Senior team won seventh in Senior Jazz and third in Senior Hip Hop. However, it did not stop there for the POD Senior team. The girls’ Hip-Hop routine was selected to represent UPA at the United States All Star Federation (USASF) and International All Star Federation (IASF) “Dance Worlds Competi-tion” at Walt Disney World April 29 through May 1st. Bids are only given out to teams that not only score high, but also receive judge’s votes. The POD Senior team will compete against the best teams from all over the world; an opportunity of a lifetime. This is the first time any team in our

region has been invited to do so. Members of the POD Worlds Qualifying Senior Hip Hop Team include: Paige Bunkelman, Alyssa Busjahn, Kaley Campen, Mackenzie Carlson, Reanne Castner, Kaeli Fox, Sam Greaves, Robyn Hjalmquist, Paige Holter-man, Alexis Krusic, Sam Luebke, Madie Mindock, Becca Polum, Monique Rosteing, Lauren Ste-fonek, and Brittany Temple.

The Power of Dance also per-formed exceedingly well in the solo and small group events. The All American Competition is a scholarship event recognizing in-dividuals who contain the whole package. Participants are judged on their dance abilities, scholas-tics, personality, and expression. The participants had to perform a dance solo, send in their tran-scripts, write an essay, and had to go through an interview. This is the highest individual award one can take home as a remarkable honor at the competition. The Power of Dance was honored to have Monique Rosteing (Notre Dame Academy) place 2nd All American in the Senior Divi-sion, Nicole Petcka (Pulaski High School) place 6th in the All American Junior Division, and Lily Mae Wiesler (Suamico El-ementary) place 10th overall in the All American Youth Division. Other top 10 solo and small group awards went to the following: Lily Mae Wiesler– 3rd place Youth Performer of the year, Lily Mae Wiesler and Ava Jamir-1st place National Champions in Youth Small group, Kelsey Swanson (Pulaski High School)- 5th place Senior Performer of the Year, Sa-mantha Greaves- 5th place Teen Performer of the Year, Robyn Hjalmquist- 9th place Teen Per-former of the Year, Paige Holt-erman and Arianna Schmidt- 7th place Senior Small Group, POD Kick Team- 4th place Senior Open Division, and POD Con-temporary Team- 5th place Senior Open Division. Great Job to all of the Power of Dance dancers at UPA this year! The Power of Dance All Stars are coached by Theresa Kubalak, Elizabeth Powers, Tanya Klanchar, and Danielle Lohuis. The Power of Dance Studio is located at 2300 Lineville Road in Suamico.


Skovera serves scouts

Jean Skovera stands with all of her awards received in the past.

Jean Skovera’s achievement quilt shows each and every award she has received over the span of her scouting life.

Jean Skovera, after more than 40 years of serving boy scouts, is no longer serving as a pack leader, but will continue on as a council member. This year is the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouts. Skovera first started in 1968 helping out Cub Scouts, but after serving she took great interest in scouting. Over so many years dedicating her time, Skovera has received countless awards such as the Trail Blazer Award, Arrow-head Honor Award, Outstanding Service Award to Youth, Silver Beaver Award, Saint George Award, Saint Anne Award, and the Fleur De Lis medal. Skovera has also volunteered at the Wood-side Nursing Home, Glenbrook School, and the Community Food Pantry. In 1987 she even helped to start Pulaski’s first Daisy Scout Troop. She has been a den leader at Krakow, Bonduel, Gresham, Keshena, Tigerton, Caroline, and Lannoye. Pulaski High School Leo Club members Charlie Smoot, Jenna

New Head Football Coach Gary Westerman, his wife Jenny, and daughter Libby are happy to be part of the Red Raider Family.

By Devin HynesPulaski football added its

newest member to the Raider family this past week when Gary Westerman was announced head football coach. Westerman, a physical education teacher, was previously defensive coordinator for the Kimberly Papermakers. Westerman helped coach the pa-permakers to back-to-back state championships in 2007 and 2008 and a state runner-up in 2009.

Westerman said, “My goal is simply to build off the experi-ence and the success the program has had the last few years. We’re going to improve our expecta-tions in the weight room and what kids are involved in.”

More than 20 different coach-ing candidates were interviewed for the position. In a Post-Cres-cent interview, Pulaski athletic di-rector Jerad Marsh said, “Getting to know Gary over the past two months of the interview process, he really rose to the top with his ability to connect with kids in the classroom and on the field. He will be a great asset.”

In the same interview, co-principal Dan Slowey, who pre-viously worked with Westerman in the Kimberly District, said, “Gary Westerman is very student-centered. He will make a positive impact in the classroom, on the field, and in the community.”

Before coming to Pulaski, Westerman taught at Kimberly, Oshkosh North, and Cedarburg, and he was also a head wrestling coach at all three.

Westerman said, “From ad-ministration to students in the weight room, I love the Pulaski community, and I enjoy the small-town atmosphere. I think the people here are just genuine, good people.”

appearances since the 1996 and 1997 seasons.

Westerman said, “You know how good can Pulaski football be? Nobody really knows. It’s going to be up to us -- the students, the coaches, and the administration being able to put it all together to become the best team we can be.”

In her early years in the scouts she was at an event carving pumpkins with a young man with polio. While carrying a pumpkin over to her he dropped it, fling-ing pumpkin seeds all over her and all over the place. Now most people would have had a problem with this but Skovera just smiled and laughed it off. The following year, after having a new baby, she was reluctant to stay with the scouts; but at the very same time this thought occurred the young man with polio rang her door bell and began to tell her how she’s made a difference to him and brought her fresh fish, which he knew she loved. To this day, that young man has kept her going in

the scouts. “If I can keep one boy from

prison or infirmary we accom-plished our goal,” said Skovera.

Skovera has managed to keep her goal because no one that she has ever had in boy scouts has ever been to a jail or infirmary of any kind. Skovera loved being a part of scouts and has had over 1,800 scouts in her time being a leader. Skovera loved to watch the packs grow as time went on and helping all of the new kids.

“It builds the youth to grow and be good,” said Skovera. She plans to stay on as a part of the boy scouts council for as long as she possibly can.


“The Principal for the Day” prize winners of the recently held Family Fun Night were the Riggle family from Hillcrest: Ben, MaKenna, and Tyler.

This snowman was made by Hillcrest students who made good use of an extra recess that they received as part of the “Princi-pal for the Day” prize.

The winners of the recently held Family Fun Night “Princi-pal for the Day” prize were the Riggle family from Hillcrest: Ben, MaKenna, and Tyler.

Each of the students excitedly got to pick something they would like to see happen that day. Ac-tivities that were chosen were a school-wide pajama day with a stuffed animal, an extra recess, and no take home homework.

Ben claimed that he enjoyed wearing the vest and walkie-talkie; Tyler said he liked visiting classrooms; McKenna loved the birthday treats and playing her favorite Justin Bieber song on the morning announcements. A big thank you goes out to the Family Fun Night Committee for all their hard work in putting the evening of fun and raffle prizes together, as well as to the donators who made the night possible.

“The Family Fun Night was really, really fun! I liked the games and the prizes. I also got to bring my whole family to school with me!” said Simon Dahms, a fifth grade student at Hillcrest El-ementary School.

Katie Mikle’s third hour Spanish class raised the most money for the Pennies for Patients Leukemia drive.

Lannoye Elementary School held a Family Fun Night at Lannoye School on March 8 from 5 to 7 p.m. It was a great night for 4K students from throughout the district and for Kindergarten through fifth grade students from Lannoye and their families.

Organized by Lannoye teacher Stephanie Heezen and with help from the Lannoye staff and parents there was something for everyone. Well over 300 people participated in the event. All 4K families were also invited to this event.

“This was a fun family event at a good time of the year for our families,” said Pam Engel, Lannoye Principal.

Activities included music and dancing in the cafeteria with our very own Lannoye Elementary DJ and dad Jim Larscheid, live animals from the Wildlife Sanctu-ary brought in by Laurie Bankson, face painting and balloon animal creations by Lannoye staff and volunteers, a variety of computer games from teacher-recommend-ed websites, and arts and crafts for 4K and other students in the art room.

There was also a movie room and popcorn, students playing basketball with friends and family in the Lannoye gym, a hair and nail station in the literacy room, and a Figaros Pizza Dinner meal deal in the cafeteria.

Gnome Games was at Lannoye and set up tables for families to play board games. Representa-tives from Gnome Games were present to explain game direc-tions and rules.

Lannoye staff members and Lannoye parents and families helped out at the activities and stations.

“Do you know what my favorite part of the game is? The opportunity to play.”

The following fifth grade wrestlers placed at their regional meet: Logan Bellow took second place; Carson Burch took first place; and Colton Agamaite took second place.

By Morgan Prentice On March 12, the Youth

Regional Wrestling Tourna-ment was held at Bay Port High School. Participants in the tour-nament included wrestlers aging from kindergarten through eighth grade. Bay Port is one of eight regional locations in the state, and it is known for having some of the toughest competition. The top two wrestlers in every weight class have advanced to the Wis-consin State Wrestling Tourna-ment held in Madison on March 25 and 26.

Since the Regional Tourna-ment is not during the regular season, the wrestlers who partici-pated have extended their season and put extra time and effort into the sport for an opportunity to advance to the State Tournament.

Pulaski had an excellent day, finishing with three elementary and ten middle school qualifi-ers. First place winners include Carson Burch, Matthew May, Taylor Brancefield, Kasey Cael-waerts, Levi Van Lanen, Hunter Micolichek, and Jessika Rottier. Second place winners include Logan Bellow, Colton Agamaite, Waylon Clark, Steven Stiede, Bradley Prentice, and Mark Berna.

Brian Bogucki, head middle school coach, was very excited with Pulaski’s results.

kids to state, so this is something new having thirteen. These wres-tlers should win their share of matches down in Madison, and I am proud of all of them,” said Bogucki.

Bradley Prentice, an eighth grader, made state for the first time in his career.

“In my years past, I fell short of qualifying for state, but this year, it feels awesome to see all of my hard work pay off. Being my eighth grade year, I really wanted to make state, so I put a lot of extra time outside of practice to reach my goal. I’m excited for state, and I hope my hard work will continue to pay off,” said Prentice.

Levi Van Lanen, an eighth grader and two time state quali-fier, finished the day off with a first place win.

“Even though 13 of us have qualified for state, everyone in the practice room should get credit in helping us achieve this goal because, together, we are a team. It is an honor to be a part of this tournament, but our work is not done,” said Van Lanen.

Jake Gille, a sixth grader, finished fourth at the Regional Tournament, but wrestled with a lot of heart. “Wrestling is a hard sport, but if you stick with it and work hard, you will fulfill your dreams,” said Gille.

The athletes competing at the Wisconsin State Wrestling Tour-nament are optimistic to return with some champions.

By Samantha Brabender After a long drive to Sheboy-

gan South for the WIAA Divi-sion 1 sectional game on March 17, the Pulaski Red Raider girls’ basketball team fought hard but eventually ended their 2010 – 2011 season. In a battle between number one seed Pulaski Raiders and the number five seed Preble Hornets, it was a back and forth game, with neither team taking any more than a 10 point lead. Senior Brooke Lauritzen faced a game-ending ankle sprain in the first few minutes of the game, leaving Pulaski without their top scorer. Although all the girls battled hard with senior Brittni Wirtz hitting an NBA style three-pointer in the last ten seconds, the effort wasn’t enough. In the end, Pulaski lost 44 to 46.

It was the last time stepping on the court together for four of Pulaski’s most crucial players, seniors Brooke Lauritzen, Brittni

A Farewell to the seniors

By Laura Szela Jim Doell, the Varsity Girls

Basketball coach was named FRCC coach of the year for the 2010-2011 season. Doell was se-lected for this by the coaches in the conference.

With receiving this award Doell said, “It is a privilege to receive this award on behalf of my coaching staff and players for the accomplishments we have achieved throughout the season.”

The varsity team finished the season with only one conference loss, conference title, and the title of regional champions.

Reflecting on the season Doell said, “We had a wonderful season this year. The players made it special with many memories along the journey. We accom-plished many goals including a conference championship.”

Jim Doell was named FRCC Coach of the Year for the 2010-2011 Girls Basketball Season.

Coach Dave Shaw is named FRCC Conference Coach of the Year

that he brought to Pulaski this year.

Shaw was very humble about receiving the award. “I’m happy for our team. Without team success, often times player and coach recognition is limited; the kids played hard and bought into our style of play. They made me

look good,” said Shaw. Pulaski’s accomplishments

this year were very impressive. “Our team accomplished so many positive things this season, but none greater than the great team chemistry. We have a group of guys who genuinely like each other and care about one another. That makes my job as head coach very pleasurable,” said Shaw.

“My proudest moment of the season was to share the Regional Championship with my brother’s team from Antigo. They won their regional game here at Pulaski High School in the afternoon, and we won our regional cham-pionship in the evening. Sharing that moment with my father and brother was special. Basketball has been very good to each one of us and we are privileged to be a part of it.”

When looking forward to next year, Shaw knows that Pulaski has the potential to be a major contender.

“We will lose one senior from this year’s team. Some say the future looks bright for Pulaski basketball. I agree, but we can’t look ahead without a sense of commitment” said Shaw.

Pulaski High School Athletic Director Jerad Marsh was very proud of Shaw for his accom-plishment and the teams’ ac-complishments this season. “We are extremely proud of Coach Shaw and earning this award. It shows the respect the other FRCC coaches have for him, his staff and the Pulaski Boys Basketball program.

Wirtz, Laura Szela, and Tasha Giese. All four of these girls have been key players to the Varsity team for the past three years, putting in hours and hours of time and dedication to the program. It is hard to find a team with a closer group of girls; no one’s voices can compare either.

Szela will be attending UW - La Crosse for Pre-Dentistry and Spanish, while Lauritzen plans to attend either Tusculum College in Tennessee or UW – Whitewa-ter for Graphic design while also playing softball. Giese will be at-tending St. Norbert College for Psychology while playing bas-ketball and Wirtz plans to attend UW – Oshkosh for a future career in the medical field and will be running track.

“We spent a lot of memorable hours together over the years. They are a great group of young ladies that have a bright future ahead of them,” said head coach Jim Doell.

When refreshing spring weather begins to roll in, wouldn’t you rather be outside enjoying it, rather than inside cleaning? This year, tackle those spring cleaning jobs early so that spring can be a time of relaxation and enjoyment.

Even during the dreariest months, there are many tasks that can be completed. Here are some tasks that don’t need to wait for warmer weather:

Polish your wooden cabi-nets. You don’t need to replace wooden cabinets when they lose their luster. A thorough clean-ing, followed by a moisturizing polish, can make old cabinets look new. The most common method of cleaning cabinetry is with a little Woolite and water. But if you want to restore luster and shine, try a product like Touch of Oranges Wood Cleaner, followed by Touch of Beeswax Wood Pre-server. Simply spray the cleaner

It’s never too early to start spring cleaning!

on a wooden surface, wait a few minutes, and then rub 0000-grade steel wool in the direction of the grain. Finish cleaning by wiping the wood with soft terrycloth, then use the preserver. Cabinets will shine, giving your kitchen a spring fresh look.

Clean your carpets. Carpets can be a major trap for dust and pet hair, not to mention the salt and dried mud that have been tracked in from winter shoes. There are many professional services to choose from, but for those do it yourselfers, renting or buying a carpet cleaner can save bundles of money. The Oreck Rinse-A-Matic can shampoo, rinse and dry carpeted floors, and, as a bonus, can also rinse, scrub and dry kitchen floors.

Say goodbye to mineral stains. Mineral deposits look depressing on windows and shower stalls. And while cleaning the windows is often a warm weather job, there’s no reason to put off clean-ing the bathroom. Hard water stains on glass shower doors and windows look unattractive, so remove then with specialized products like CLR, Lime Away or Bring It On Cleaner. Some hard water stains will often yield to scrubbing with white vinegar and a non-scratch pad. If you find that vinegar is ineffective, resort to stronger chemicals.

With warmer weather here, home and business owners are taking some steps to get ready for potential springtime flooding. One local expert says a common area often overlooked is business data and records. Not protecting these items could have devastating effects.

“If business or customer infor-mation becomes inaccessible or is destroyed, clients could be lost, the business could face fines if a court case occurred, it may not be complying with records-related regulations and could ultimately lose the business altogether,” said Eric Haas, president and CEO of A.R.M.S. (Automated Records Management Systems, Inc.), a full-service information manage-ment center. “Unfortunately, most businesses learn the hard way. They realize the importance of protecting business records and files after they experience data loss.”

Haas says don’t assume a di-saster can’t hit your business. Take time now to plan for possible scenarios by creating a disaster re-covery plan. “A business disaster goes above and beyond flooding,” said Haas. “A disaster is anything that causes you to have ‘down time,’ be it a fire, flood or even a power outage. Disaster recovery plans provide solutions to keep businesses up and running so all business functions can be handled, even if you couldn’t get into your facility or network.”

The following are areas to con-sider when developing or updating a disaster recovery plan: Key doc-ument back-ups – Ask yourself, “If a disaster would strike, would I be able to still provide files for an audit or court case, or get informa-tion to my customers?” Whether copies are made or files are stored on external hard drives, back-up everything. Store back-ups in multiple locations, so if a disaster affects your office, another copy of your information will still be accessible. 24-7 access – Disas-ters or “down time” can happen at any time, typically with little or no advance warning, so make sure all information can be accessed regardless the time or day. Have a spare key with you at all times just in case your building is locked during certain hours. Secure loca-tion – Store information is an area that is secure and doesn’t have a history of being affected by weather, such as flooding. Make sure the storage location is secured with alarms, security cameras and pass codes. In addition, be sure the location is equipped with technol-ogy for early detection and control of fires or even if the temperature is too warm or humid for certain file types. Go electronic – To sim-plify disaster recovery planning, key documents can be converted to electronic format. These files can then be housed through a password-protected, content man-agement system which acts as a virtual file room. With this records management solution, your most important information can be ac-cessed no matter the time or day and even if you can’t get to your office building, you can still access your information. Get advice from an expert – Talk with an expert at a local facility that specializes in records management and disaster recovery planning. Find a firm that can give you ideas on what you should be keeping and how. Also, be sure the company has a secure facility and a good track record of securing confidential information.

“Taking steps to secure infor-mation before a disaster strikes is time well spent,” said Haas. “Once your disaster recovery plan is in place, make a habit to regularly revisit and update it. It’s always better to be safe than sorry, espe-cially when it comes to your busi-ness’ most important asset.”

Water System InformationIf you would like to know more about the information contained in this report, please contact Tom M Rodgers at (920) 822-8618. You can also obtain information from the Water Dept. via e-mail @ ( [email protected]). *The Pulaski Village boards conducts its monthly meeting every first Monday of the month at 7:30 p.m.

Health Information Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Environmental Protection Agency’s safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).Source id Source Depth (in feet) Status1 Groundwater 330 Active2 Groundwater 708 Active

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

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

Contaminants that may be present in source water include:· Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. · Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally- occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater

discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. · Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses. · Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and

can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems. · Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems.

FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which shall provide the same protection for public health.

Number of Contaminants Required to be TestedThis table displays the number of contaminants that were required to be tested in the last five years. The CCR may contain up to five years worth of water quality

results. If a water system tests annually, or more frequently, the results from the most recent year are shown on the CCR. If testing is done less frequently, the results shown on the CCR are from the past five years.

Collins, Ryan T. SrARyan T. Collins, SrA, 25, Lux-

emburg, died on March 26, 2011, in Arkansas, as the result of a mo-torcycle accident. He was born on July 7, 1985, in Houston, Texas, to Timothy and Carrie (Jenkins) Collins.

After graduating from Pulaski High School in 2003, Ryan at-tended Rochester Jr. College, where he played football and was a nationally-ranked receiver.

To fulfill his desire to serve his country, Ryan joined the U.S. Air Force in 2008. His goal was to become a Combat Control-ler. He was a sports enthusiast, enjoyed the outdoors, and loved his family.

Ryan had a big heart — he gave generously and never asked for anything in return.

Survivors include his parents, Tim and Carrie, Luxemburg; two brothers, Trenton Collins, SrA, Destin, Fla.; and Josh (Angie) Collins, Minneapolis, Minn.; one niece, McKenzie; paternal grand-parents, Walter C. and Karen

Rosenberg, June June Ella Rosenberg, 84, So-

bieski, passed away on March 29, 2011. The daughter of the late Dorothy (Frease) and Louis Angrabright was born July 30, 1926 in Sampson. On May 10, 1947, she married Leslie Rosenberg in Green Bay. They were married for 59 years. She enjoyed traveling in the western states, fishing, and berry picking. She liked doing embroi-dery, making jigsaw puzzles, gardening, going for rides, and going out to eat. June had a great sense of humor, even though she had her hands full, raising five boys and her daughter. She didn’t believe in “time outs.” She is survived by five sons, Duayne (Pat); Ken (Pam); Alan (Jo Ann); Roger (Lisa); Kevin (Colleen); one daughter, Carol (Tom); her eight grandchil-dren, Tyler (Tonya) Rosen-berg; Aaron (Heidi) Rosenberg; Brooke (Jim) Hilbert; William Rosenberg; Sheila (Nathan) Seidl; Sarah Rosenberg; Jessica Rosenberg (fiancé Don Potts); Alissa Leeman. She is further survived by her seven great grandchildren, Eva, Lucia, Ethan, Gabriel, Madeline, Vincent, and Iris; two sisters, Beatrice and Gen; two brothers-in-law, Chet (Dawn) and Daniel; one sister-in-law Arlene, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband on May 9, 2006; a grandson, Jeremy E. Rosenberg; six brothers and four sisters.

Malcheski, John

John Malcheski

John Aloysius Malcheski, 78, lifelong and proud resident of Pulaski, passed away peacefully at home March 22. He was born on August 14, 1932, to Edward and Angeline (Rozanski) Mal-cheski. John attended Polandi grade school and proclaimed to be the second smartest in his class (of two students). He also at-tended Pulaski High School and the Farm Short Course at the Uni-versity of Wisconsin-Madison. On July 26, 1969, he married Laurine (Renee) Roth-Martin. They had a festive and memo-rable wedding reception at the “Swamps” and a strong marriage ensued. John’s profession was that of a humble farmer. He worked as the primary owner and operator of the M&M Dairy Farms, starting in 1957 through the mid 1990’s. Although technically “retired,” he managed to spend at least 50 hours per week helping his son, Scott Martin, on the farm. John volunteered much time and effort to agriculture and became a leader in his areas of interest. He served on many regional and na-tional boards which included the Land O’ Lakes Cooperative, the National Milk Promotion Board, Morning Glory Farms, and As-sociated Milk Producers, to name a few. Locally, he was very dedi-cated to volunteering for the As-sumption B.V.M. Parish. He also served on the Board of Direc-tors of the Pulaski-Chase Coop-erative, Knights of Columbus, Pulaski Chamber of Commerce, Pulaski Historical Society, Polish Heritage Society, and the Holy Name Society. He believed that teaching others, self-sustaining, co-op-based farming practices in foreign countries were a priority. His teaching led him to Nigeria, Macedonia, Siberia, Kazakh-stan, Egypt, Estonia, Armenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and most recently, he traveled over a dozen times to Haiti. John was passionate about volunteering, especially for his friends in Haiti. Through his work in Haiti, crops flourished, trees grew, rabbits multiplied, and water flowed. He helped Haitians put food on the table and hope

in their hearts. No matter who he met or where he traveled, he proudly claimed, “Pulaski, Wis-consin” as his hometown. He was humble but also proud of his roots of being one small person, from one small village, making some small- yet impactful changes for the good of others. He touched lives globally with “small town” finesse. It was fantastic to witness. The qualities that he possessed made him an asset to our lives. It’s the “never say no” mentality coupled with his sense of humor and the “roll up your sleeves and get it done” attitude made this man unique and compelling. John is survived by his wife of 41 years, Laurine (Renee) Roth-Martin-Malcheski; sons, daugh-ters, and grandchildren: Cindy (Dennis) Babiarz, Jenny and Jeff; Sandy (Russ) Ryczkows-ki, Lisa (Brian) Nigon, Brian and Laura; Pat (Jane) Martin, Philip; Steve (Brenda) Martin, Levi and Kaitlyn; Scott Martin; Alan (Sheila) Martin, Jacob, and Joshua; (Pam Malcheski), Matt, Anna; Ann Malcheski; Joan Mal-cheski. He is also survived by his siblings, Sister Helen Malcheski, SSSF; Doris Malcheski; Mary Malcheski; and Barbara (Gerry) Hussin; brothers-in-law, Dr. R.M. Nesemann; Ray Liss; and a sister-in-law LaVerne Malcheski. He also had a very special bond with his Haitian friend, Benito Jasmin. He was preceded in death by one son, John, his parents, three sisters, one brother, a brother-in-law, Wanda Liss, Edward, Jean Nesemann, and Emerine (George) Hughes.

Collins, De Pere; and Marion Collins, Houston, Texas; mater-nal grandparents, Larry and Carol Jenkins, Victor, Mont.; maternal great-grandmother, Mrs. Cleo (Mildred) Jenkins, Charlotte, N.C.; numerous aunts, uncles, other relatives and friends, in-cluding his godparents, Glen and Shelly Harrison, and Steve and Barb Elliott.

By Zach BeaverSix Pulaski High School cu-

linary students participated in the ProStart Invitational at the Wisconsin Restaurant Expo on March 22. The competition for students participating in a ProS-tart program at their high school consists of two components: Management and Culinary.

The Management team includ-ed Zachary Beaver, Tiana Egnar-ski, and Heather Pautz. They had to demonstrate their knowledge of the hospitality industry by de-

Culinary students competeveloping a business proposal for a new restaurant concept. The pro-posal included written and oral presentation, as well as visual display. The Management team was mentored by both Liz Moehr and Michelle Powers. This was the first year Pulaski has entered in the management category.

“The management event is a huge undertaking, and the team pulled it off with a great amount of professionalism. I am so very proud of them,” said the team’s mentor Liz Moehr.

Assumption B.V.M. holds classic dinner and auction

The concept the students came up with was named Garden Cure. In the written proposal, the stu-dents wrote: “Garden Cure is a fine-dining restaurant focused on the health benefits of fruits and vegetables, while offering a re-laxing, nature-focused interior and exterior. Using a combination of products from our greenhouse and from local sustainable organic farmers, we incorporate nutrition-packed produce into each dish. Our menu is organized to satisfy the nutrition-focused consumer, including those with dietary con-cerns, including vegetarian, meat-based, and gluten-free dishes.” The management team took third place in the competition.

The culinary team included Michael Kurowski, Zachary Beaver, Noah Vander Loop, and Sean Hennessy. They had to create a three course meal of their choice in one hour. The students were judged on their knife-cutting skills, sanitation, communication, as well as taste and presentation. Chef Abbey Steffen from Repub-lic Chophouse mentored the team again this year, along with their teacher and coach Liz Moehr.

This year’s menu included: Seared Scallops with Cilantro and Asian Slaw, Spice Rubbed Duck with Blood-Orange Cranberry Sauce, and a Raspberry-Pome-granate Layered Vanilla Bean Cheesecake. The Culinary team took fourth place, missing third place by .2 points and second place by .5.

“The fact that it was so close shows the level of talent that is displayed at the competition. Their menu was fantastic and they executed it beautifully,” said the team’s coach Liz Moehr.

Both teams stuck together and tried their best, even when things became extremely stressful. It’s a great opportunity that the school gives to their students and shows what life may be like after high school.

Discounts valid for any new services.
